Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – the 18th Vow
淨宗傳承之第十八願
The 18th Vow is the source and origin of our teaching. It is the main cause of rebirth, and provides the credentials for rebirth. It also contains the life of Amitabha Buddha and the lives of all Amitabha-reciters. The founding of the Pure Land School is based on the 18th Vow, which is the root source and lifeline in the transmission of its lineage.
第十八願是我們這個法門的根源,是往生的正因、往生的資糧。也可以說第十八願是阿彌陀佛的生命,是我們念佛人的生命,是淨土宗得以稱為淨土宗的根源,也就是說,淨土宗的開宗立派,淨土宗的法脈傳承,都根源於第十八願。
Namo Amituofo!
