Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Classification of Teachings – the Difficult and the Easy Paths
淨宗判教 – 難易二道判
The Pure Land teaching is an Easy Path, all of us can do it. The practitioner is only required to recite Namo Amituofo. There is no need to: contemplate the Buddha’s No-Mark, the Buddha’s Real Mark, seek enlightenment through meditative practices, think of reality before speech, or seek thorough understanding of the nature of mind, in parallel with the Pure Land teaching.
As long as someone wishes to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, he knows his rebirth is assured. So, it is an easy, simple, quick, and direct teaching, which can be accomplished in this lifetime.
淨土法門是「易行道」,大家都做得到,只要稱念「南無阿彌陀佛」,不必觀想、觀像,不必無相念佛、實相念佛,不必禪淨雙修,不必參禪悟道、參話頭求明心見性。
只要他願生極樂,專念名號,知道決定往生,簡單容易而且快速直接,是當生成就的法門,是一生完成的法門。
Namo Amituofo!
