Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
(continued)
Similarly, in the Sutra of Samadhi of Pratyutpanna , Amitabha Buddha tells the practitioners who see the Buddha in the meditative state, “If you wish to be reborn here, you should think of my Name unceasingly, then you will attain rebirth at once.
The Buddha explains that rebirth is attained because of exclusivity in thinking of his Name.” He also regrets seeing those who seek the previous way to see the Buddha. One should thoroughly take refuge in Amitabha, whether one can see the Buddha or not, and always recite Amitabha’s Name without thinking of any other way.
亦如《般舟三昧經》阿彌陀佛告入定見佛之行者言:「欲來生者,當念我名, 莫有休息,即得來生。佛言: 專念故得往生。」
亦因此而悔責先前見佛之方法,而見如不見,徹底歸命彌陀,一向稱名,不作他想。
Namo Amituofo!
