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
An Amitabha-reciter who follows the Fundamental Vow, no matter if he believes or not, or if he knows it or not, as long as he exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, he will naturally comply with the Easy Path of practice. Why? It is because it naturally matches Amitabha Buddha’s 18th Vow and Amitabha’s other vows. Amitabha Buddha will respond to him naturally, and he will be embraced by Amitabha’s light and never forsaken; enjoying the immeasurable, boundless, inconceivable merit and virtues of the Name.
本願念佛人不論知不知、信不信、淨不淨,只要專稱彌陀佛名,自自然然就合乎易行道,為什麼?因自自然然就跟阿彌陀佛第十八願相應,相應於彌陀的願,跟阿彌陀佛自自然然就感應道交,蒙受彌陀光明的攝取不捨,承受這句名號無量無邊不可思議的功德。
