An excerpt from the ‘Dharma Teaching of Contemplation and Recitation’ by Master Shandao
善導大師《觀念法門》
Shakyamuni appeared in the world to deliver sentient beings burdened with the five kinds of turbidity. This means he reveals, with kindness and compassion, the cause of the Ten Evils and the sufferings of retributions in the Three Evil Realms. He enlightens, with equality and wisdom, all human and celestial beings, to dedicate their merits and aspire to be reborn in Amitabha’s Buddha-land.
釋迦出現,為度五濁凡夫,即以慈悲,開示十惡之因,報果三塗之苦;又以平等智慧,悟入人天,迴生彌陀佛國。
Namo Amituofo!
