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”, means the minds of devotion and genuineness. If we wish to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, we must be sincere, and not just mouth the words. If we don’t want to be reborn, or hope to be a human again, we are not “sincere”. This “sincere” consists of: “joyfully entrust”, “wish to be reborn in the Land of Bliss”, and also “even ten times”.
「至心信樂」的「至心」就是虔誠的心、真實的心。我們要往生極樂世界,內心要真誠,不是嘴上講要往生,但心裏卻不想往生,或是希望將來還要再來做人享福。這樣就不是「至心」。所以這個「至心」包含「信樂」,包含「欲生極樂世界」,包含「乃至十念」。
Namo Amituofo!
