Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
While we are learning to become a Buddha, we should encourage our family members to be happy, and have a good impression of the Buddhist teachings, so that they may become interested in them and seek to learn more.
If we can do so, we will not have any obstructions from our family members, and be able to bring them blessings and rewards. Otherwise, though we recite Amitabha’s Name and aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, our journey in this world will be far more difficult and less enjoyable.
我們學佛,應該讓家人也感到愉悅,對佛法產生好感,使他們因為自己學佛的改變,而肯定佛法。如果能這樣,不但不會有阻礙,更為自己與家人帶來福報,學佛要這樣比較圓滿。否則,雖然念佛願生極樂世界,但肉體還存在的時候,生活就會有苦惱。
Namo Amituofo!
