Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Those reborn through Amitabha-recitation are Bodhisattvas of Equal Enlightenment, i.e. Buddhas after One-More-Lifetime. Then, they will practice the virtues of universal benevolence. “Practice” means “giving to all”. “Virtues of universal benevolence” means “to manifest and appear as a Buddha to deliver sentient beings universally”. It does not mean “Bodhisattva of Universal Benevolence”.
念佛往生的人,到了極樂世界就示現等覺,也就是一生補處,然後「修習普賢之德」。「修習」就是廣施、展現的意思,「普賢之德」就是以佛的顯化來救度眾生,而不是普賢菩薩的那個菩薩願。
Namo Amituofo!
