Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about Rebirth for Those Who Still Have Karma
印光大師「帶業往生」之文(佛力帶業往生)
The teaching of Amitabha-recitation is considered special or particular among the Buddhist teachings. A person can attain rebirth, even bringing along his karma from the present life, with recourse to the Buddha’s power.
With respect to this world, as he has not cut off his delusive karma, it is known as “bringing along his karma”.
However, with respect to rebirth in the Western Land, karma is absent, so it does not mean we bring our karma to the Western Land.
念佛法門,乃佛法之特別法門;仗佛慈力,可以帶業往生。
約在此界,尚未斷惑業,名帶業;
若生西方,則無業可得,非將業帶到西方去。
Namo Amituofo!
