Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
(continued)
Within the 1858 words (in Chinese) in the Amitabha Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha earnestly advises us three times to definitely be reborn in the Land of Bliss.
The first time he advises rebirth - those sentient beings who hear of that land should aspire to be born there.
The second time he advises rebirth - All sentient beings who hear this teaching should aspire to birth in that land.
The third time he advises rebirth - good men and women of faith should aspire to birth there.
We should notice how serious Shakyamuni Buddha is in advising, urging, and persuading us to aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss.
在這短短的一千八百五十八個字的《阿彌陀經》裏面,釋迦牟尼佛就三次很殷勤懇切的勸導我們,一定要往生極樂世界。
第一段勸往生的是:「眾生聞者,應當發願,願生彼國。」
第二段是:「聞是說者,應當發願,生彼國土。」
第三段是:「若有信者,應當發願,生彼國土。」
可說釋迦牟尼佛婆心深切,一而再、再而三的強調、勸導,希望我們務必要往生極樂世界。
Namo Amituofo!
