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
Amitabha-recitation is an Easy Path. It is so easy to practice that all can do it. Who cannot do it? Those unable to speak can recite the Name mentally. Even a parrot can be reborn through Amitabha-recitation, as recorded in the accounts; not to mention humans, the most talented among living beings. Thus, Amitabha-recitation is not a problem, but faith is.
So, the final and crucial factor is whether you believe or not. If you believe, you must recite Amitabha’s Name. Amitabha-recitation is easy to practice. No one is unable to practice it!
念佛是易行道,既是易行就無人不能,誰都會念佛呀!啞巴也會在心中念呀!鸚鵡尚且能夠念佛往生,且瑞應昭著,何況人為萬物之靈,因此,念佛不是問題,往生也不是問題,只怕不信。所以,最後的關鍵就是信不信的問題了。因為若信,則必念佛,而念佛易行,無一人不能,人人都能。
Namo Amituofo!
