Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings concerning the Commentary on the Treatise of Rebirth
《往生論註》
Pure Land teaching is the Path of Easy Practice. This Path refers to deliverance through other- power, the power of Amitabha Buddha. It does not refer to how sentient beings like us practice and dedicate merits to Amitabha Buddha, and beg Amitabha Buddha to deliver us. It is not like that.
It is deliverance through other-power, the power of Amitabha Buddha. Our deliverance also requires faith in the teaching and the exclusive practice of Amitabha-recitation. Thus, the Pure Land teaching is round, sudden, simple, and fast.

淨土法門就是「易行道」,這個「易行道」,是講阿彌陀佛的他力救度,不是講我們眾生要如何來修行,然後迴向給阿彌陀佛、拜託祂來救度我們,不是這樣的。
所以,是講阿彌陀佛的他力救度,也是講眾生信順、信心念佛而被救,所以是一個圓、頓、簡、速的法門。
Namo Amituofo!
