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
“Sincerely and joyfully entrust,” as said in the 18th Vow, means to “truly believe”. Believe what? Believe that if we wish to be reborn in Amitabha’s Land, and recite his Name even ten times, we are guaranteed to be born there. “If they fail to be reborn, I will not attain perfect Enlightenment”. Since Amitabha has now attained perfect Enlightenment, all those who wish to be reborn in his Land, and recite his Name even ten times are assured of rebirth. This principle is very clear and worthy of our full belief.
第十八願所說的「至心信樂」,意思是「真正的相信」,信什麼呢?信下面所講的:「欲生我國,乃至十念,若不生者,不取正覺。」彌陀現在既然已取正覺,那麼凡是欲生我國,乃至十念的人都必定往生,這個道理是很明確的,我們要這樣的相信。
Namo Amituofo!
