Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Amitabha Buddha, who has attained perfect Enlightenment, and sentient beings who have taken refuge in Amitabha’s deliverance, are actually one entity. “Sentient beings within the Buddha’s Mind” means, sentient beings who recite Amitabha’s Name are always within Amitabha Buddha’s mind. “Buddha within the mind of sentient beings” means, Amitabha Buddha is always within sentient beings’ minds. So, it says: when the Buddha thinks of sentient beings, sentient beings are within the mind of the Buddha. When sentient beings think of the Buddha, the Buddha is within the minds of sentient beings.
已經完成正覺的阿彌陀佛跟已經歸命彌陀救度的眾生,這一種眾生跟阿彌陀佛是一體的,「佛心有生」指阿彌陀佛的心中有念佛的眾生,「生心有佛」指念佛的眾生心中有阿彌陀佛,所謂「佛念眾生,眾生在佛心內;眾生念佛,佛在
眾生心中。」
Namo Amituofo!
