Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Though the real body of Amitabha Buddha sits steadily in the Land of Bliss, he can manifest to deliver sentient beings in the worlds of the ten directions. Amitabha Buddha’s Dharma body includes the entirety of the great cosmos, so that not a single sentient being cannot jump over Amitabha’s palm. This means that Amitabha
Buddha encompasses all the worlds of the ten directions at the moment he sits steadily without moving. Thus, it is said “Magnificently, he sits alone to deliver sentient beings”.
阿彌陀佛雖然真身端坐在極樂世界不動不搖,但卻顯現到十方世界去救度眾生。阿彌陀佛的法身遍滿整個大宇宙, 我們每一位眾生, 沒有一個人是離開了阿彌陀佛如來掌中的, 亦即在不動不搖的當下, 已經跟十方世界合在一起了, 所以說「巍巍獨坐度眾生」。
Namo Amituofo!
