Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
We are an organization of Amitabha-recitation, wholly focused on the Pure Land teaching. Pure Land teaching is Buddhism for laymen. Therefore, what we offer must be geared to the needs of laypeople. That is to say, all executive members or group leaders are recruited for servicing the general public. Thus, all volunteers must have the mentality to service and contribute.
Moreover, as the Pure Land teaching is centered on Amitabha Buddha, we must strive to practice great compassion like the Buddha. The expression of great compassion is stated in the Infinite Life Sutra, which is “to love and respect parents, and practice pure filial love.”
我們是念佛的團體,完全屬於淨土法門,淨土法門是庶民佛教,所以一切的作為要平民化、服務化。亦即雖然是組長或幹部,都是為了服務大眾而設,因此要有義工、志工的犧牲精神。
而且我們是以彌陀為中心的淨土法門,更要如宗祖善導大師所說的要「學佛大悲心」,而阿彌陀佛大悲心的表現,即是《無量壽經》所說的「如純孝之子,愛敬父母」。
Namo Amituofo!
