Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
A Pure Land practitioner should not overly enjoy peculiar things or seek the mysterious. He should be ordinary, normal, simple, and plain; and recite Amitabha’s Name with singleness of mind, peace of mind, and ceasing mind. Be scrupulous in reciting. Be like a fool, without any pressure or attachment. Just recite while walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, in any place and at any time. Recite without forsaking. Recite when you are delighted, and recite when you are afflicted. Above all, we should always exclusively recite Amitabha’s Name!
淨宗行人,不可尋奇覓巧,喜好別異。應該平凡、平常、平實、平淡,一心念佛、安心念佛、息心念佛、老實念佛、守愚念佛,輕鬆自在念佛、心無掛礙念佛、行住坐臥念佛、時處諸緣念佛、念念不捨念佛,歡喜則歡喜念佛,煩惱則煩惱念佛;總之,唯應「一向專稱彌陀佛名」。
Namo Amituofo!
