Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Amitabha-recitation is the Karma of Assurance. Apart from Amitabha-recitation, no other teachings and practices are regarded as the Karma of Assurance. Exclusively reciting Namo Amituofo is the Karma of Assurance because it accords with Amitabha Buddha’s Vow. It means, to accept Amitabha Buddha’s deliverance, and receive Amitabha Buddha’s merit and virtues. It also means we are already on board the ship of Amitabha Buddha’s Vow.
So, throughout the day, we recite Amitabha’s Name whenever we think of it. Simply open our mouths and recite. Sleep as we want and eat as we want. If we can do it in this way, it is known as the Karma of Assurance. Karma of Assurance means, Amitabha reciters are 100% guaranteed to be reborn in the Land of Bliss!
念佛就是正定業，除了念佛以外的法門、功行，都不是正定業。專念南無阿彌陀佛，就是正定業，就是隨順阿彌陀佛的願，就是接受阿彌陀佛的救度，就是領受阿彌陀佛的功德，現在就已經坐在阿彌陀佛的願船上了。
所以，二六時中，有時間就念佛，想到就念佛，張口就念佛，念念不捨，該睡就睡，該吃就吃，如果能這樣，就是正定之業。正定之業就是百分之百能夠使因成果，百分之百決定可以往生極樂世界。
Namo Amituofo!
