Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Regarding the change in habitual behavior, depending on its original inertia, the change may be slow if its inertia is great; while it may be fast if its inertia is weaker.
Some people are moderate and mild; some people may be stubborn and reluctant to change, even when they are given valuable advice.
So, in order to change our habitual behavior, we should begin with perceiving the principle of the two kinds of deep faith – in aptitude and in teaching. Second, if a person can realize the pure mind through Amitabha-recitation, he must live that realization from the bottom of his heart, and maintain this pure mind through all favorable and unfavorable circumstances.

習性的轉變,也要看他的原本慣性的強弱,原本慣性若強,轉變就比較慢,慣性若弱的話,轉變就很快,有的人天生就很溫和無諍的,有的人即使勸導他了也還是很剛強。
所以要改變習性,第一,可從思惟「機法兩種深信」的道理下手;第二,一個人如果念佛體會到清淨心的話,那他的行事為人都以那個清淨心來展現,遇到順境、逆境都保持那個清淨心。
Namo Amituofo!
