Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Encouraging the Practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
It doesn’t matter whether you have taken refuge and abide by precepts. As long as you understand Amitabha’s compassion, you can talk to other people according to your circumstances, capacity, and status. You can share your Dharma joy with other people, so that Amitabha’s light of deliverance can shine on them as well.
The only things we have to take note of and understand are the other person’s roots and aptitude, so that we know how to talk in order for them to believe and accept Amitabha’s compassion. Our purpose for talking is not that we just like to talk; but, that we lead him to enter Amitabha’s sea of vows and believe and accept Amitabha’s deliverance. In such a case, expediency and skill are very important, and we have to pay close attention to our speech, so that the audience can accept Amitabha’s deliverance.
不管有沒有受戒,甚至有沒有皈依,只要懂得阿彌陀佛的慈悲,就可以隨緣、隨份、隨力去給人家講,把我們的法喜與別人一起分享,讓彌陀救度的光明也普照到他們身上。
只是要注意的是:我們也要瞭解對方的根機,知道怎麼講對方才能信受,因為我們的目的不是為了講而講,而是為了他能夠進入彌陀願海,能夠信受彌陀救度。這樣的話, 方便善巧非常重要了,怎樣才能使他接受,這個就是我們所要注意的。
Namo Amituofo!
