Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings Expressing the Perception of the Pure Land
淨土述懷
The joy of the Land of Bliss cannot be illustrated through any analogy. The pain in the various hells cannot be described by mere words. By exclusively reciting Amitabha’s Name, a person is assured of rebirth in the Pure Land. Without it he will fall into one of the hells.
If a person believes that rebirth is assured through believing in and accepting Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow and exclusively reciting Amitabha’s Name, he has already been delivered, even though he is still a sentient being in the Land of Saha.
He is already a bodhisattva in the Land of Bliss though he has not yet been reborn there.

極樂之樂,樂不可喻;地獄之苦,苦不堪言。專稱佛名,必生淨土;若不念佛,將墮地獄。
若有聞知信受彌陀本願,稱念彌陀名號,則決定往生。雖未出娑婆,已非娑婆的眾生;未生極樂,即是極樂的菩薩。
Namo Amituofo!
