Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Though both are Pure Land teachings, and both recite Namo Amituofo, they have different interpretations, and different mindsets. For instance, some people recite Name Amituofo, wishing to be reborn in the Land of Bliss; but, they don’t understand Amitabha’s teaching of deliverance through his Fundamental Vow. So, they view Amitabha’s Name the same as other Buddha’s Names, dharani, or teachings. They also think that the merits and virtues of this Name are the same as the others listed above. This is also known as “miscellaneous cultivation and assorted practices.”
同樣是淨土法門,同樣是念「南無阿彌陀佛」,可是由於了解的不同,在心境上就有差異。有的人念「南無阿彌陀佛」,也是想往生極樂世界,可是由於不了解阿彌陀佛本願救度的法門,而把這一句佛號跟其他的佛名、咒語、法門等同並論,以為念「南無阿彌陀佛」,也只不過是跟念其他的咒語、修其他的法相同的功德而已,沒有什麼特殊,這就是所謂的「雜修雜行」。
Namo Amituofo!
