Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
As we recite Amitabha’s Name, we rely on Amitabha Buddha, not on ourselves. So, whether our mind is concentrated or distracted, or the concentration is deep or shallow, we rely on Amitabha. At the end-of-life, we rely on Amitabha Buddha toreceive us to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. Again, it does not rely on our ability to concentrate. We are only responsible for reciting Amitabha’s Name, as best we can, throughout our lives.
我們念佛完全都靠阿彌陀佛,不靠我們自己。有定力沒定力,或定的深淺都不管,有定力是靠阿彌陀佛,沒定力也是靠阿彌陀佛。臨終是靠阿彌陀佛接我們去極樂世界,不是靠我們的定力去極樂世界。所以,往生是阿彌陀佛來接我們,因此我們只要負責現在的念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
