Master Yinguang’s Short Teaching concerning the utmost importance of the Pure Land teaching (Self-power is not comparable to Buddha-power)
印光大師法語「淨土最要」之文(佛力自力非比)
Pure Land teaching far-surpasses all other teachings because it relies on the Buddha’s power, while the other teachings solely rely on self-power.
How can we compare self-power with the Buddha’s power? This is the most important point to understand in the cultivation of the Pure Land teaching.
淨土法門超勝一切法門者,在仗佛力。其餘諸法門,皆仗自力。
自力何可與佛力並論乎!此修淨土法門之最要一關也。
Namo Amituofo!
