Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Encouraging the Practice of Amitabha-Recitation
念佛警策
Pure Land practitioners should not seek for mysteries or psychic powers; but, should recite Amitabha’s Name in an ordinary, normal, scrupulous, and simple manner, with singleness of mind, settled mind, restful mind, and without any doubts. Seeing oneself as a slow-witted being, one should feel free and relaxed, without any worry or attachment during Amitabha-recitation. One should recite Amitabha’s Name while walking, standing, sitting and lying down. Without forsaking, recite Amitabha’s Name when you are happy or when you are afflicted. Above all, always exclusively recite Amitabha’s Name.
淨宗行人,不可尋奇覓巧,喜好別異。應該平凡、平常、平實、平淡,一心念佛、安心念佛、息心念佛、老實念佛、守愚念佛,輕鬆自在念佛、心無掛礙念佛、行住坐臥念佛、時處諸緣念佛、念念不捨念佛,歡喜則歡喜念佛,煩惱則煩惱念佛,總之,唯「一向專稱彌陀佛名」。
Namo Amituofo!
