Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Classification of Teachings – the Difficult and the Easy Path
淨宗判教 – 難易二道判
In the Chapter on the Easy Path, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva divides all teachings whose aim it is to reach the bodhisattva state of non-retrogression into two paths, the Difficult Path and the Easy Path.

龍樹菩薩在《易行品》當中,將所有一切到達不退轉地的法門分為「難行道」和「易行道」。
簡單來講,「難行道」是全靠自己的力量,或者是半自力、半他力的修行,這些法門就是指淨土宗(阿彌陀佛救度法門)之外的各種修行法門。
Namo Amituofo!
