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
(continued)
That is why:
All of the ocean-like assemblies in the Flower Adornment Sutra abide by the King of the Ten Great Vows.
Through the practice of the single recitation of the Name of the Buddha ( as taught in the Lotus Sutra), all practitioners can awaken to the Real Mark of all Dharmas.
This is the most supreme and expedient practice, as stated by Asvaghosa Bodhisattva, in his Shastra on Bringing Forth Faith in the Mahayana.
This is the Easy Path which empowers one to complete the Way quickly, as stated by Nagarjuna Bodhisattva in the Dasabhumika Vibhasa Sastra.
After the Buddha entered Nirvana, the Great Master Zhizhe taught the Shastra on the Ten Doubts, and resolutely pursued rebirth in the Western Land.
The Great Master Yongming, who was a manifestation of Amitabha Buddha, wrote the Four Selected Matters, and recited the Buddha’s Name for the remainder of his life.
(to be continued tomorrow)
是以:《華嚴》海眾,盡遵十大願王;
《法華》一稱,悉證諸法實相。
最勝方便之行,馬鳴示於《起信》;
易行疾至之道,龍樹闡於《婆沙》。
釋迦後身之智者,說《十疑論》而專志西方;
彌陀示現之永明,著《四料簡》而終身念佛。
Namo Amituofo!
