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
“Wish to be reborn in my Land” was spoken from the point of view of the vows that Amitabha Buddha made. The reason Amitabha made his vows was to call upon sentient beings in the ten directions asking , “please come to my Land of Bliss?” If you come here, you will no longer reincarnate or accumulate negative karma. You will never again suffer, become old or sick, and never die. In addition, you will gain the six paranormal powers and quickly become a Buddha.

「欲生我國」這四個字,是站在阿彌陀佛發願的立場來說的。阿彌陀佛發願的目的是在呼喚救度十方眾生,你要到我的極樂世界來,你要快一點到我的極樂世界來;你來了之後,不但不再輪迴、造罪造業、受苦受難,而且永遠不會老病,永遠不會死亡;不但六通具足,而且速證佛果。
Namo Amituofo!
