Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
(continued)
Even so, some people still look down upon Amitabha-reciters. They think they are more knowledgeable because they dive deeply into the study of the scriptures and vigorously practice a variety of teachings. They’re sure they are more advanced than the slow-witted old men and women who only exclusively recite Namo Amituofo.
Because of this bias, arrogance arises in their minds. As said in the Infinite Life Sutra, under these circumstances it is difficult for them to believe in this teaching.
但是仍然有人很看不起念佛者,認為我這麼有學問,能夠深入經藏,這麼的精進,能夠學這個法門,學那個法門,難道我還跟你們這些老太公老太婆一樣,只是在那裏單單念「南無阿彌陀佛」嗎?因為有這種偏執,所以就生起高慢心了,如果是這樣的情形,那就會如《無量壽經》所講的「難以信此法」了。
Namo Amituofo!
