Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Rebirth is a word that contains a sacred meaning and splendid connotation. It also bears the meaning of glorification, praise, and rareness, because rebirth is not death.
Rebirth means departing from birth-and-death within the Three Domains and Six Realms, and arrival in the Land of Bliss, in which we attain Perfect enlightenment. Thus we see that rebirth is not death, but transcends death, and acquires an eternal real life.
「往生」這二字是具有很神聖、很殊勝的內涵,帶有讚歎、讚美、可貴難得的
意味,因為往生並不是死亡,往生是脫離三界六道的生死輪迴,而且到極樂世
界成佛。所以往生不但不是死亡,而且是超越死亡,獲得永遠的生命、真正的生命。
Namo Amituofo!
