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)
On one hand, he knows he is a mortal being who commits countless karmic offenses, and he is greatly indebted to many people. He has no way to liberate himself from reincarnation with his own power. Only Amitabha Buddha accepts us just as we are.
He unconditionally gives us all of the merit and virtues necessary for us to be born in his Land of Bliss and, once there, become Buddhas. If we understand this principle, our minds will change. If our minds change, we will naturally be repentant.
(to be continued tomorrow)
一方面,他知道自己是生死凡夫,造業造罪,生生世世以來,欠別人很多,沒有辦法以自己的力量,脫離生死輪迴,只有阿彌陀佛包容我們,沒有嫌棄我們,不跟我們計較,甚至把極樂世界,成佛的功德,平白地沒有條件,全都送給我們。我們若了解這個道理,心境就會轉;若心境轉,就會有一種懺悔的心。
Namo Amituofo!
