Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
(continued)
In our Pure Land teaching, we learn how difficult it is to set forth and achieve the Bodhi Mind. The only remedy for this is to be reborn in the Land of Bliss through reliance on Amitabha’s compassionate deliverance. After we are reborn in the Land of Bliss, and realize a Buddha’s fruition (perfect Enlightenment), the Bodhi Mind will naturally be revealed and unfold without obstruction.
It doesn’t matter whether we follow the Sacred Path or the Pure Land Path, we should still try our best within our capacities to pursue it, as the Bodhi Mind is the core of all Buddhist teachings.
因為我們學的是淨土法門,已先曉得我們的菩提心很難生起、圓滿,因此以念佛蒙受彌陀救度,先往生極樂世界,到了極樂世界證得佛果之後,自然能夠自在無礙的展現菩提心。
但是不管聖道門或淨土門,既然菩提心是佛法的核心,所以不論目前能做到多少,我們都應該隨分隨力儘量去做。
Namo Amituofo!
