Short Dharma Teaching about Faith in Pure Land Buddhism
淨土信仰
Reciting Namo Amituofo adorns the Pure Land with all kinds of virtuous roots. It can do this because this Buddha’s name was accomplished in the fruition ground by Dharmakara Bodhisattva, who accumulated a myriad of virtues through a multitude of Bodhisattva practices. A myriad of practices while in the causal stages and a multitude of virtues that were accumulated in the fruition ground are included in this six-syllable Name. So, all virtuous Dharmas, merits and virtues are naturally absorbed by simply reciting the six-syllable name (Namo Amituofo).
念南無阿彌陀佛,就是一切善根莊嚴淨土。因為這句佛號是阿彌陀佛在因地所累積的菩薩萬行,成就了果地的萬德。因位的萬行、果地的萬德,全都包含在這句六字名號裏面。所以只要稱念六字南無阿彌陀佛,一切善法、功德自然具足。
Namo Amituofo!
