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)
Thus, he will naturally become softer and feel inferior, because he knows what he should do; but, realizes he cannot. For this reason, he is thankful that every single name-recitation carries the thought of repentance. This is known as “always repenting with every single name-recitation”
On the other hand, he feels a kind of delight and comfort while repenting. He knows, even though he carries heavy karmic obstructions, he will not fail because of Amitabha’s deliverance.
所以就會更加柔軟,覺得自己很卑賤,因為明知應該要如何做,但偏偏卻做不到,所以就會在念佛稱名當中,都有懺悔的念頭在裡面,這就是「念念稱名常懺悔」。
另方面,在這懺悔當中,又有喜樂、安慰的心情,他知道雖然自己現在是這樣的業障深重,卻不會墮落下去,因為有阿彌陀佛的救度。
Namo Amituofo!
