Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching about “the same mistake”
印光大師法語「同一過失」之文(勸豎用人)
Those who venerate practices of cultivation and do not develop faith and aspiration, are regarded as being “attached to the practice but abandoning the theory”, which refers to self-powered teachings.
They make the same mistake as those who attach to the theory and abandon the practice, without any recourse to the Buddha’s power. They focus on their Self Nature and Mere Consciousness.
專崇行持,而不尚信願,則執事廢理,仍屬自力法門。
與專以自性唯心,而不仗佛力之執理廢事,同一過失。
Namo Amituofo!
