Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Encouragement to practice Amitabha-Recitation

念佛警策

An Amitabha-reciter who is not confident of being reborn may have two things happening: 

1. He always feels uneasy and worried, 2. He may have set backs, give up the Pure Land teaching, and pursue other teachings. In these cases, he disappoints Amitabha Buddha, who spent 5 eons formulating his 48 great vows for sentient beings in the ten directions, and spent countless eons more to practice and accumulate immeasurable virtues for them. It is because of Amitabha’s compassionate mind that he is so disappointed. He so very much wants to rescue us from our endless cycle of suffering!

一個對往生沒有信心的念佛人,會有兩種現象:一是內心一直忐忑不安,憂慮重重;二是有可能會退轉,不再修淨土,而去學其他的法門。那就辜負了阿彌陀佛為十方眾生,以五劫的思惟而建立四十八大願,以兆載永劫的時間,積植菩薩的無量德行,豈不是辜負了彌陀的悲心?辜負了彌陀的願行?

Namo Amituofo!
