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)
Pure Land is a teaching that fuses the Three Vehicles and the Five Natures. It enables the practitioner to realize the eternal truth.
It also leads both sacred and ordinary beings to the other shore.
That is why all sentient beings of the Nine Realms return to the Pure Buddha-land and all of the Buddhas in the ten directions unanimously praise Amitabha Buddha.
It is explained in thousands of Sutras, and is expounded in millions of Shastras.
So, we can truly conclude that Pure Land is the ultimate teaching in this era and the greatest teaching of the Unsurpassed One Vehicle. Those who have not planted many virtuous roots are unable to encounter it even after many eons.
Now that we have the chance to see and hear this teaching, we should practice it diligently.
匯三乘五性,總證真常; 導上聖下凡,同登彼岸。
故得:九界咸歸,十方共讚;千經並闡,萬論均宣。
誠可謂: 一代時教之極談,一乘無上之大教也。
不植德本,歷劫難逢; 既獲見聞,當勤修習。
Namo Amituofo!
