Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Encouraging the Practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
The teaching of Amitabha-recitation should not be presented as overly profound, mysterious, or difficult. It should not be exaggerated or described in ways that confuse people. It should be shared in a simple and easy way, naturally and intimately, so that even those who are illiterate or uncivilized can understand and do it. Otherwise, it is better not to speak, so as to avoid violating the Buddha’s intention above and misleading sentient beings below.
念佛法門不可講得很雜、很深、很玄、很難,或別立新義,欲顯異惑眾;要講得平易樸實,親切自然,使得連不識字、沒有文化的老太公、老太婆也能聽得懂、做得到。否則不如不講,以免上違佛意,下誤眾生。
Namo Amituofo!
