Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Although we are Pure Land practitioners with the aim of attaining rebirth through Amitabha-recitation, and attaining the enlightenment of unsurpassed Buddhahood in the Pure Land, we should strive to work for sentient beings like horses and cows, according to our conditions, without any hesitation, and as much as we can. We do this because our purpose in studying Buddhism is to become a Buddha who serves sentient beings.
我們雖是淨土法門,以念佛往生淨土,在淨土證無上佛果為宗旨;然而學佛既為成佛,成
佛本為眾生,則今生現世也應隨緣盡力,為眾生做事,甚至為眾生做馬做牛,只要我們能力所及,便應當仁不讓。
Namo Amituofo!
