Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings Expressing the Perception of the Pure Land
淨土述懷
(continued)
The moonlight shines equally and universally over the great land. However, when there is no dew in the grass, the moonlight cannot cast a shadow on it. The Buddha’s mind is vast and can universally save foolish ordinary beings. However, if they don’t have faith, they cannot see the Buddha.
Though the moon’s light can reach everywhere, it only dwells upon those who look at the moon with a sincere heart. Though the Buddha can save all people, he only accompanies those who think of him and recite his Name.
明月平等,普照大地;然無露之草,不留明月。佛心廣大,普救凡愚;然無信之人,不見佛心。
月影雖無所不至,唯宿仰望者心中;佛願雖無人不救,唯與念佛者同在。
Namo Amituofo!
