Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings-Encouraging the practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
Just recite Amitabha’s Name at any level that you can reach, in accordance with your capacity and aptitude. Though we may reach a certain level in Amitabha-recitation, do not think it will help a bit, or it will be more reliable, or higher in the grade of Amitabha’s deliverance.
Even though we may not achieve a particular level, we should not feel inferior, or think that our rebirth is not assured, or at a lower level. If we have such thinking, we are not a true practitioner of our school.
隨自己的根機能念佛到什麼地步就到什麼地步,即使念到某一個地步,也不要認為這樣對阿彌陀佛的救度更有幫助、往生更可靠、品位更高超。
即使沒有到任何地步,也不要自卑,認為自己往生不定或品位不高。若有這樣的觀念,就不是我們這個法門的行人了。
Namo Amituofo!
