Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings concerning the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – Master Tanluan
《淨宗傳承之曇鸞大師》
Amitabha always remembers and thinks of sentient beings. With his Name in the form of light, Amitabha embraces those who recite his Name. On the other hand, sentient beings remember and think of Amitabha, which leads them to exclusively recite his Name and never forsake it. Thus, Amitabha and sentient beings, sentient beings and Amitabha, form one body. The one who remembers and the other who is remembered fuse together; the one who can stimulate and the other who can respond fuse together. It is said “to match as such”.
彌陀憶念眾生,彌陀以光明的名號攝取念佛的眾生;另一方面,眾生憶念彌陀,眾生專稱攝取不捨的名號,因此,彌陀與眾生,眾生與彌陀,就彼此機法一體,能念的跟所念的、能感的跟所感的就融合在一起了,此謂之「如實修行相應」。
Namo Amituofo!
