Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about the Buddha coming to welcome both evil and rebellious men.
印光大師法語「逆惡來迎」之文
By bringing forth the 48 Vows all living beings are enabled to cross over to Amitabha’s Pure Land.
Evil and rebellious men, who are regretful of their offences, will also be received by him.
Do not misunderstand the Buddha saying he is not selective.
The reason for this indiscrimination is that the Buddha takes pity on them as future Buddhas, who have yet to accomplish Buddhahood.
四十八願度眾生,逆惡歸心也來迎;
非是混濫無簡擇,憐彼是佛尚未成。
Namo Amituofo!
