Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Pure Land teaching can benefit oneself by benefitting others. How? We can benefit ourselves through Amitabha-recitation, and we can also benefit others through promoting the teaching of Amitabha-recitation. Among other Buddhist teachings this is not the case. For instance, if we cannot sever our own greed, hatred and delusion, how can we teach others to sever their greed, hatred and delusion?
淨土法門是自利利他都可以兩相成全的。為什麼?我們念佛就是自利,推廣念佛就是在利他,如果是其他的法門就不是這樣的。其他法門,自己貪瞋癡都還沒有斷,自利尚且未做到,怎麼能夠去利他讓人家斷貪瞋癡呢?
Namo Amituofo!
