Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Whoever accepts the Pure Land teaching has accumulated great wisdom and karmic rewards. It doesn’t matter whether he is knowledgeable or not. Whoever practices the teaching exclusively will accumulate an abundance of virtuous roots and meritorious blessings. It doesn’t matter if he possesses a high or low aptitude. If he can go further and teach others to believe as he does, he is sharing great compassion through Amitabha’s infinite power. It doesn’t matter whether his mind is wide open or not.
A person who can believe the Buddha and recite Amitabha’s Name is regarded as “benefitting one’s self”. A person who advises others to believe the Buddha and recite Amitabha’s Name is offering “ great compassion through advising others”.
凡是能夠認同淨土法門的,不管他有學識、沒學識,都可說是大智慧、大福報的人;能夠專修淨土法門,不管他根機高、根機低、都是大善根、大福德的人。
如果能夠進一步自信教人信,不管他心量大、心量小,都是大慈悲、大願力之人。自己信佛念佛, 就是自行大悲;勸人信佛念佛,就是勸他大悲。
Namo Amituofo!
