Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Encouraging the Practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
It is natural to have false thoughts during Amitabha-recitation. It is the nature of ordinary beings to have such thoughts. As ordinary beings we are the main focus of Amitabha’s deliverance. If we had no false thoughts, we would not qualify for Amitabha’s boundless compassion.
Thus, knowing we have false thoughts, we deeply understand the concept of “aptitude and teaching as one entity”. If we think in this way, these false thoughts will become the source of shame, humility, comfort, and Dharma joy.

念佛時妄想紛飛乃自然之事,有妄想才是凡夫,才是彌陀正客;若無妄想,則非彌陀對象。
故應以有妄想而更深信機法一體;能作此想,則妄想即是慚愧、謙卑,與安慰、法喜之源。
Namo Amituofo!
