Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
As Amitabha-reciters, we should understand that our karmic obstructions do not hinder us from being delivered by Amitabha. Otherwise, we would be minimizing the power of Amitabha Buddha. No matter how many karmic offenses we have, they cannot prevent Amitabha Buddha from delivering us. If we understand this, we should weep in gratitude to Amitabha Buddha. Through this realization our minds become softened and humble. If a person has regrets, humility, and softness, his threefold karma, temperament, appearance, fate, and personality will improve.
念佛的人,心態上首先要知道:我的業障不會障礙彌陀的救度,否則就是太小看阿彌陀佛了。「我們再多的罪業,都不能障礙彌陀對我們的救度」,有這樣的觀念與瞭解,我們就會感戴恩德而痛哭流涕,心就會謙卑柔軟。人若有慚愧、謙卑、柔軟的話,三業行為、氣質、相貌、命運、人格就會轉化。
Namo Amituofo!
