Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Contemplation Sutra
《佛說觀無量壽經》
For a person at the lowest level in the low tier, as described in the Contemplation Sutra, his three kinds of bodily, verbal and mental karma are useless and functionless, because: he cannot quietly listen to this Name, or silently perceive this principle, or recite the Name consistently. However, if he recites “Namo Amituofo”, “Namo Amituofo” in a hurry, he can still be reborn.
Rebirth is within the six-character Name – Namo Amituofo; but, it is not dependent on our meritorious practices, benevolence, nor our ability to cultivate, not at all.
《觀經》下品下生的人,他的身、口、意三業都沒有作用,可說「三業無功」,因為他不是靜靜地在聽這句名號,或者寂靜地在思惟這個道理,或者是一句一句好好的念這個名號,他都沒有,他很匆忙的念「南無阿彌陀佛」「南無阿彌陀佛」......也不曉得「南無阿彌陀佛」是什麼?這樣也往生了。
往生就在「南無阿彌陀佛」六字名號的本身,而不在我們的功行,不在我們很賢能、很會修行,都不是。
Namo Amituofo!
