Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
When Shakyamuni Buddha realized Perfect Enlightenment, it was the Name (Namo Amituofo) that he realized. So, one recitation of Amitabha Buddha is the Bodhi that Shakyamuni Buddha attained, when he achieved Perfect Enlightenment in this world of five kinds of turbidity.
As long as we ordinary beings exclusively recite this Name – Namo Amituofo, despite being ordinary beings, we are regarded as being “abundant in roots of virtues and abundant in meritorious blessings”. This is known as practicing “single-mindedly and without deviation.”
釋迦牟尼佛所得的、所證悟的三藐三菩提法的正等正覺,可說就是這句「南無阿彌陀佛」。所以說「一聲阿彌陀佛,即釋迦本師於五濁惡世所得之阿耨多羅三藐三菩提法」。
只要以我們這種凡夫位的凡夫心,去專念這句「南無阿彌陀佛」,這樣就是「多善根多福德」,就是「執持名號,一心不亂」。
Namo Amituofo!
