Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – Master Tanluan
《淨宗傳承之曇鸞大師》
Every single recitation of the Name is the main cause of rebirth and the karma of assurance. This is why Master Tanluan says, “even ten times” is the same as “reciting the Buddha’s Name without interruption”. Thus, it is not Buddha-invocation of the Real Mark, Buddha-invocation of contemplative meditation, Buddha-invocation of perceiving images, recollecting the merit and virtues of the Buddha, or visualizing the Buddha’s Dharma body and light. It’s none of those!

只要念念稱名,就是往生的正因,往生的正定業。所以曇鸞大師也說所謂的「乃至十念」,就是「令聲不絕、稱念佛名」的乃至十念,而不是實相念佛的念,或觀想念佛的念,或觀相念佛的念,或是心中憶念佛功德的念,或是憶念佛的法身、光明,都不是。
Namo Amituofo!
