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
(continued)
“Entrust” means to believe that rebirth is assured through the recitation of Amitabha’s Name. Master Shandao replaces “sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me” with “recite my Name”. In that way we clearly know that recitation of the Name includes “sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me” and “aspire to be reborn”. Master Shandao thereby explains that rebirth is assured by reciting as few as ten times.
是信「稱我名號」就必定往生。所以善導大師就直接了當的以「稱我名號」來代替「至心信樂」,讓我們一看就曉得,哦!原來這裏的「至心信樂」是信「稱我名號,願生我國」,而且「下至十念」就必定往生。
Namo Amituofo!
