Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching offering Advice on Practicing the Particular Teaching and Discarding Self-Power
「自謂弘法」之文(法門相混之錯)
(continued)
We should know that Buddha-power is inconceivable. It cannot be compared with the power of cultivation of ordinary beings, who are entangled with afflictions. Buddha-power enables the clearing of all delusions and doubts in the minds of ordinary beings.
In the era of the Buddha’s teaching the Pure Land teaching is unique, as its practice in cultivation and realization in terms of cause and fruition is different. The “apple” of the Pure Land teaching cannot be compared with the “apple” of the teachings of the General Path.
使知佛力不可思議,不能以具縛凡夫修持之力相為並論,則凡一切疑惑不信之心,化為烏有。
於一代時教中,獨為特別法門,其修證因果,不得以通途教義相繩。
Namo Amituofo!
