Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
(continued)
This Name is revealed from the pure and eternal Buddha Nature and True Suchness of Amitabha Buddha. It is unchanged and is always the same in the past, at present and in future.
Therefore, we can totally rely on reciting Amitabha’s Name, and receive Amitabha Buddha’s inconceivable merit and virtues. In this way, it can naturally eradicate all the dark karma accumulated during many lives, enable us to leave the endless cycle of reincarnation resulted from the karmic retribution, and be reborn in the Land of Bliss, where our Buddha Nature and True Suchness can be completely revealed. This is because all sentient beings have the Buddha Nature. Though they accumulate karmic offenses due to greed, hatred and delusion, their Buddha Nature is still intact and does not vanish.
這句佛號,是從阿彌陀佛清淨不變真如佛性所顯現,所以萬古不變。過去如此,現在如此,盡未來世,也是如此。
所以完全依靠阿彌陀佛的名號,領受阿彌陀佛不可思議的功德,自然可以消除我們生生世世以來黑暗的業障,使我們當生離開娑婆業報輪迴,往生極樂世界,顯現自我真如的佛性。因為一切眾生皆有佛性,雖然因貪瞋痴而造業造罪,不過佛性並未消失,也永遠不會消失。
Namo Amituofo!
