Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about “a true Amitabha-reciter” (to urge a common layman)
印光大師法語「真念佛人」之文(勸平常人)
Those who thoroughly understand all the teachings of all schools can be true Amitabha-reciters. However, those who know nothing and practice no other teachings, but can only speak, can also be true Amitabha-reciters. Apart from these two types, whether a person is true or untrue depends on his effort and his observance of the teaching.
通宗通教之人,方能作真念佛人。而一無所知、一無所能之人,但止 口會說話,亦可為真念佛人。去此兩種,則真不真,皆在自己努力、依教與否耳。
Namo Amituofo!
