Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Every person must die eventually. When an Amitabha reciter approaches death, Amitabha Buddha will come personally to receive him, to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. In this way, he is saved from the judgement of King Yama forever, and leaves the cycle of birth-and-death within the Three Domains and the Six Realms. Once we are reborn in the Land of Bliss, our achievement of Buddhahood is expedited. All of this is accomplished through the functions of Amitabha’s 48 vows, particularly the 18th Vow.
人終有一死,人在將死的時候,阿彌陀佛就親自來迎接我們到極樂世界,永遠離開了閻羅王的魔掌,離開了三界六道的生死輪迴,而且到了極樂世界,就能夠快速成佛,這些功能都在阿彌陀佛的四十八願當中,尤其是在阿彌陀佛的第十八願。
Namo Amituofo!
