Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
(continued)
“Namo Amituofo” is abundant in roots of virtues and blessings, great in roots of virtues and blessings, splendid in roots of virtues and blessings, absolute in roots of virtues and blessings, perfect and complete in roots of virtues and blessings.
In contrast, the Three Refuges, the Five Precepts, the Ten Wholesome Deeds, the Four Ways to Embrace, the Six Paramitas and the Eightfold Noble Path are all splendid; but, are insufficient to attain rebirth in the Land of Bliss. Only holding fast to Amitabha’s Name is abundant enough in roots of virtues and blessings to carry us to the Land of Bliss.
「南無阿彌陀佛」則是多善根福德、大善根福德、殊勝的善根福德、絕對的善根福德、圓滿的善根福德。
所以,不管是三皈、五戒、十善、四攝、六度、八正道,這些都很殊勝,但是相對於要往生極樂世界來講,這些都是少善根少福德,唯有執持名號是多善根多福德。
Namo Amituofo!
