Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
For Buddhists, the objects in which we take refuge are the Three Jewels. The Three Jewels then become our teachers, as much as our Dharma masters and Sangha family. However, Pure Land learners should try to become close with Pure Land Dharma places, Dharma masters, and Dharma companions. They should respect other Dharma places, etc.; but, they should not pursue those teachings. This is to prevent being diverted to the path of miscellaneous practices.
佛弟子皈依的對象是「三寶」,故三寶皆我之師,非僅皈依某道場或某法師而已。但,若學淨宗者,即應親近淨宗道場、師父、同行,餘則可敬而不可學,以免徒生干擾,走向雜修雜行之路。
Namo Amituofo!
