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)
It is most fundamental to have a sincere mind that is consistent with the mind of aspiration all the way through. If a sincere mind is genuine, the aspiration to be reborn is also true. It is natural and uncomplicated; so, the three states of mind are complete.
That is to say, “sincerely, joyfully entrust and wish to be reborn” means a heart that aspires to be reborn in the Land of Bliss until the end of one’s life. Thus, the sincere mind and joyful entrusting are within the mind of aspiration.
「至心」,是貫徹信心跟願生心最根本的。信心不偽、願心不虛假,真的嚮往,自自然然,不假造作,就會三心具足。
這樣講起來,「至心、信樂、欲生」是只要我們存著一顆願生極樂之心,誓畢此生,永不退轉,這樣的話,至心就在裏面了,信樂的功能也在裏面了。
Namo Amituofo!
