Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
(continued)
We receive and accept this Name in our hearts by holding fast to the Name. This mental state will be with us for our entire lives. When the near-end of life arrives, we can peacefully await Amitabha’s arrival.
So, “for one day, for two days, for three days, for four days, for five days, for six days, for seven days” ( as said in the Amitabha Sutra) also implies “for one year...for seven years, or seventy years, or even an entire life. This mind is undisturbed and unchanging ; so, it is called “single-minded and without deviation.”
我們領納名號於心中,而執持名號,這一種心理狀態是一輩子都不會消失的, 貫徹到臨終的。
因此《阿彌陀經》就說:若一日、若二日、若三、四、五、六、七日,其本意是若一年、若七年、若七十年,盡一輩子,這一種心不會再動亂、再改變了,所以叫「一心不亂」。
Namo Amituofo!
