Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings - Expressing the Perception of the Pure Land
淨土述懷
There is an ancient pier in the vast sea of the Six Realms,
Where Amitabha’s compassionate ship docks on the shore of the sea of suffering.
When we make the decision to board that ship and set sail to reach the other shore.
We will end our entrapment in the cycle of birth-and-death on the Jambudvipa world (the Earth).
The Great Vow is Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow,
That delivers sentient beings upon the ship of his vow.
By exclusively reciting Amitabha’s Name, we will achieve the state of non-retrogression,
We will transcend and traverse the Ten Grounds and the Three Benevolences.
六道茫茫古渡頭,彌陀苦海泛慈舟;上船決定登彼岸,永絕閻浮生死流。
弘願即是彌陀願,廣度眾生上願船;專念彌陀心不退,橫超十地越三賢。
Namo Amituofo!
