Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Upon believing in the Buddha, one should learn the Buddhist teachings. The purpose of learning the Buddhist teachings is to become a Buddha. By recollecting and thinking of the Buddha, that person and the Buddha are joined together. Thus, he is assured of rebirth and becoming a Buddha, and is a true Buddhist disciple.
All Amitabha-reciters have the same beliefs, aspiration, and practice. They have the same goal even though they live in different places. Their minds are the same, and their practices and mission are the same. As the patriarch says, “As they exclusively recite Amitabha Buddha’s Name, they are close siblings even though they may be separated by the four seas.”
信佛必然學佛,學佛意在成佛,而憶佛念佛,即與佛同在,決定往生成佛,是真佛弟子。
念佛人,信同願同行同、目標同、目的同,身雖各處異地,然此心相同,在不同地方,行相同任務;猶如祖師云:「同一念佛無別道,遠通四海皆兄弟」。
Namo Amituofo!
