Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Encouraging the Practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
In our teaching, whether you know or do not know, and whether you believe or do not believe, as long as you keep reciting Amitabha’s Name, you will be reborn in the Land of Bliss. Thus, Master Shandao says, “Sentient beings who recite are assured of attaining rebirth.”
On the other hand, if you don’t know and don’t believe, it is very difficult for you to practice exclusively. This is why we should get to know the teaching, in order to believe and practice exclusively. If we do this, we will have no doubts in the bottom of our hearts, and nothing will obstruct us from reciting exclusively.
我們這個法門是不管你知道不知道,相信不相信,只要你念佛就能夠往生極樂世界,所以善導大師說「眾生稱念,必得往生」。
不過話說回來,你如果都不知道,都不相信,讓你專修也不可能,所以我們就要去知道,要去相信,我們就會專修,這樣心底就不會有懷疑的念頭,也就不成障礙了。
Namo Amituofo!
