Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School:
Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
To serve others, we have to be wholehearted, without blaming and having no regrets. We should strive to realize great compassion and the wisdom of “emptiness.” We are one entity, and there is no differentiation between you and me.
We benefit ourselves by benefitting others. If we realize that, we can serve others with diligence, without any complaints or regrets. We should behave like a kind mother bringing up her kids, or welcoming an uninvited friend.
Moreover, we are unconditionally endowed by Amitabha Buddha, and are equally forgiven by Amitabha. We are also equally nourished by Amitabha’s love. We deeply feel Amitabha’s undifferentiated grace. So, though we may be slandered by others or criticized for no reason, we have the courage to deal with it and bear it.
服務大眾要能任勞任怨、無怨無悔,必須體悟「大悲心」與「空性慧」。眾生一體,人我無別,為他即是為自,為自必須為他;能如此體悟,則能任勞,也能任怨,無怨無悔,猶如慈母赴兒,亦如不請之友。
何況我們受彌陀無條件的惠施,蒙彌陀不計較的包容,同渥彌陀大悲之愛,深感彌陀同體之恩;即使遭無根之謗,或求全之譭,也有力量勇於面對,敢於承當。
Namo Amituofo!
