Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
Amitabha Buddha treats us as himself or his parents, and bears our debts in countless eons. He opens the treasure store of the Dharma and enables us to accomplish merits and virtues. This enables us to: avoid poverty and jeopardies, turn all kinds of fear to peace and safety, leave the cycle of birth-and-death forever, and be reborn in the Pure Land of Peace and Joy in the future.
Though there are plenty of compassionate vows made by all buddhas, only Amitabha has one such as this. Therefore, among all buddhas and bodhisattvas, only Amitabha has the deepest, most intimate relationship with sentient beings.
阿彌陀佛不但將我們看成祂自己,甚至將我們看成祂的父母,為我們承擔曠劫以來所負業債。祂為我們開法藏,使我們成就功德,現世脫離貧苦,免除厄難,一切恐懼,轉為大安;未來往生安樂淨土,永離六道輪迴。
如是悲願,諸佛雖多,唯有彌陀一佛而已。故諸佛菩薩中,唯有彌陀與眾生緣份最深、最親、最近。
Namo Amituofo!
