Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
Shakyamuni Buddha says, “If a good man or woman hears of Amitabha Buddha and holds fast to his name for one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, or seven days, single-mindedly and without deviation.” This is the method to attain rebirth.
Simultaneously, people may have different feelings upon “hearing”. Some understand it as a concept; but, don’t really receive and accept it mentally. This is the first level. The second level of feelings is called “listening,” in which Amitabha’s compassion deeply penetrates their hearts and eliminates all of the doubts they’ve carried for numerous lifetimes. This kind of listening is truly hearing.
(to be continued)
釋迦牟尼佛說:「若有善男子、善女人,聞說阿彌陀佛,執持名號,若一日、若二日、若三日、若四日、若五日、若六日、若七日......,一心不亂。」這就是往生的方法。
同時,「聽聞」的感受往往因人而異,有的人只是觀念上的理解,而沒有真正納入內心,這是第一個層次;第二個層次的「聞」是:阿彌陀佛的慈悲,進入了他的內心,打破我們長久以來的疑心,這種聞才是真聞。
Namo Amituofo!
