Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about The Conclusive Return to the Pure Land School
印光大師法語「歸宗結頂」之文
Isn’t it wonderful, Pure Land is truly a teaching! In this teaching, by the time your mind thinks of the Buddha, your mind instantly becomes the Buddha. Those who point straight to their minds, as in the practice of Chan, are considered to be less specific. (as compared to Pure Land teachings) In this teaching, by the time you call Amitabha’s Name, the Name instantly becomes Amitabha Buddha. Those who practice the realization of the Way through many eons are considered to have fewer benefits and achievements [as compared to the former circumstance].

大矣哉!淨土法門之為教也。
是心作佛,是心是佛,直指人心者,猶當遜其奇特;
即念念佛,即念成佛,歷劫修證者,益宜挹其高風。
Namo Amituofo!
