Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Attributes of the Pure Land School: Worldly Truths
淨土宗宗風俗諦
(continued)
So, an Amitabha-reciter who has learned how to become a Buddha should serve as a role model. In so doing, Amitabha Buddha and all Buddhas in the ten directions rejoice; and all devas, guardians and dragons praise him. If he does not, even though he can be reborn through Amitabha-recitation, Amitabha Buddha may feel disappointed in him because he doesn’t try his best to fulfill these duties.
In order to truly repay the Buddha’s grace, we should universally spread the teaching of Buddha’s great compassion. To accomplish that, we must be disciplined in our behavior within the three karmas.
所以學佛念佛的人,要起模範的作用,這樣阿彌陀佛、十方諸佛都歡喜,護法龍天也會擁護讚歎。不然的話, 雖然念佛可以往生,但是責任義務都沒有去盡到,阿彌陀佛的心中也會為我們遺憾啊!
「大悲傳普化」才能夠「真成報佛恩」,要能夠大悲傳普化,也要從端正我們的三業行為開始。
Namo Amituofo!
