Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Practicing Various Virtues
眾善奉行
What is real virtue in this world? It is aspiration to rebirth in Amitabha’s Pure Land and exclusive recitation of Amitabha’s Name. If a great philanthropist does not attain rebirth through Amitabha-recitation, he will have gained less than a wicked man who awakens and recites Amitabha’s Name just prior to death.
Similarly, a monastic who does not study the Pure Land teaching and recite Amitabha’s Name, will achieve less than a householder who simply recites Amitabha’s Name.
世間真正的善是什麼?就是願生彌陀淨土、專稱彌陀佛名。一個大慈善家,如果不念佛往生,那麼,他最後還是輸給一個迴心念佛的惡人;一個惡人,最後能夠迴心念佛往生,他勝過一輩子行善的大慈善家。
同樣的,出家不學淨土法門,輸給在家;在家能學淨土法門,勝過出家。
Namo Amituofo!
