Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
(continued)
Our true state and the state of others is meanness and shamelessness. Knowing we are the same, we should see others with compassionate eyes. The more we accept our abundant evil karma, the more our minds will become softened, and we will realize the mistake of judging and hating others.
The more we know the virtues of Amitabha’s teachings, the more we realize his thorough accommodation and his limitless love. With Amitabha as our example, we can forgive and care for others in all matters. Within the two kinds of deep faith (in aptitude and teaching), we begin to see and appreciate the virtues in the world.
卑鄙無恥是我人實相,自己如此,別人何異?所謂「一即一切」。如知既同一丘之貉,便能慈眼相視也。且越知自己之惡機,此心越謙卑柔軟,越覺毫無資格計較嫉恨他人。
又越知彌陀之法德,體悟彌陀徹底的包容、無限的大愛,便能凡事包容他人、愛護他人。如是信機信法之中,世間美德,亦油然而生矣。
Namo Amituofo!
