Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about Assured Rebirth through Amitabha-Recitation
印光大師法語「念佛必生」之文
Amitabha Tathagata brought forth the 48 vows in the causal ground. Every single vow is aimed at delivering sentient beings. Thus he says, “If you think of (recite) my Name and you are not reborn in my land, I vow not to become a Buddha.”
At present, he has already fulfilled his causal vows and perfected the fruition of Buddhahood.
So we must understand, “If I think of (recite) the Buddha’s Name now, I am assured of attaining rebirth.”
彌陀如來在因地中,發四十八願,願願度生,
中有「念我名號,不生我國,誓不成佛」。
今者因圓果滿,故「我今念佛,必得往生。」
Namo Amituofo!
