Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
We practice cultivation, not because of the challenges of asceticism and difficulty in practice, not because of the great scholarship in all of the teachings, not because of attachment to the response, and not to pursue mysteries. We merely want to find a teaching that is suitable for us, so that we can be liberated from the cycle of birth-and-death in this lifetime. Though the teaching may be very simple, it transcends all other teachings.
Pure Land teaching is the simplest of all, nothing special. As long as a person wishes to be reborn in the Land of Bliss and exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name for the rest of his life, his rebirth is assured, his achievement of Buddhahood is assured, and his devotion to the comprehensive deliverance of all sentient beings is also assured.
我們修行不是難行苦行,也不是做大通家,也不是迷於感應,也不是追求玄妙,只要有一個適合自己,而當生能解脫生死的,即使很平淡無奇,這個法就超越任何法。
淨土法門最平淡無奇,只要願生極樂、專稱彌陀,誓畢此生,永不改變,這個人往生決定,這個人成佛決定,將來對眾生也是度生決定。
Namo Amituofo!
