Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings Expressing the Perception of the Pure Land
淨土述懷
The Buddha favors correctness and kindness, and takes pity on deviance and evilness. It is similar to parents and their kids. Although they treat them equally, they pay more attention to and pity those who are handicapped. It is the same with Amitabha. He likes people to practice kindness and not hurt others. Though Amitabha delivers both kind and evil people, he is happier to see a kind person, and is sad to see an evil person. Thus, we should be a kind person and recite Amitabha’s Name for our whole lives.
佛喜正與善,而憐邪與惡;如父母對子女,雖一視平等,然特憐殘障之兒。彌陀亦然,喜人行善,不喜人行惡;雖善惡皆度,然見善人則喜,見惡人則悲。是故,應成善人,而一生念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
