Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
So long as we exclusively recite Amitabha’s Name and do not mix other practices, it is called singleness of mind without confusion. It is not the concentrated mind without distractions that is referred to in the meditative realm, whose objective is subduing and eliminating the two delusions of views and afflictions. If it were the latter, none of us could be reborn.
If it were the latter, the only sentient beings in the ten directions that could be delivered by Amitabha Buddha, would be sacred beings. This is because, the proficiency needed to attain an undistracted concentrated mind, can only be achieved by sacred beings who have already cut off those delusions and eliminated their ignorance.
只要專念彌陀名號,不雜修雜行,就是一心不亂,而不是降伏或斷除見思二惑那種功夫上的一心不亂,如果真是這樣的話,我們都不能往生。
阿彌陀佛要救度的就不是十方眾生,而只是救度聖者了。因為功夫上的「一心不亂」不是「理一心」就是「事一心」,那都已經是破無明或斷惑的聖人了。
Namo Amituofo!
