Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
(continued)
When I sink and almost drown in the great sea, I have no power to float and almost die. Namo Amitabha Buddha jumps into the sea, embraces me, and carries me to the shore. Not only can I survive, but also attain a state of non-retrogression.
When I’m on the edge of falling into hell, I learn that Namo Amitabha Buddha has waited me for ten eons. Despite failing to learn about the Three Studies and the Three Poisons, when I hear Amitabha’s compassionate call, I feel safe and blessed to walk along the White Path. I now know “life is faith and faith is Amitabha-recitation”.
當我沉溺大海,無力上浮,即將滅頂,南無阿彌陀佛躬身跳入海中把我抱上岸來,不但使我重生,且獲得不退轉。當我將墮地獄,始發現南無阿彌陀佛已在此佇候十劫。在這三學不成、三毒難斷的當下,聞到了直來的悲喚,於是大安心大滿足地行走白道,過著生活即信心、信心即念佛的日子。
Namo Amituofo!
