Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – the 18th Vow
淨宗傳承之第十八願
The meaning of “sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me” is to “genuinely believe”. What does one believe? To believe what is written below – “if those who wish to be reborn in my land, and call my Name even ten times should not be born there, may I not attain perfect Enlightenment”.
As Amitabha has attained perfect Enlightenment; “all those who wish to be reborn in my land, and call my Name even ten times,” are assured of rebirth. This principle is very clear and we must accept it as truth.
第十八願所說的「至心信樂」,意思是「真正的相信」,信什麼呢?信下面所講的:「欲生我國,乃至十念,若不生者,不取正覺。」
彌陀現在既然已取正覺,那凡是欲生我國,乃至十念的人都必定往生,這個道理是很明確的,我們要這樣的相信。
Namo Amituofo!
