Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about Classification of Teachings – the Sacred and Pure Land teachings
淨宗判教 – 聖淨二門判
The Sacred Path is the reliance on one’s own power - to practice a myriad of virtues, the Six Paramitas, to sever delusions in the Saha Land; in order to realize truths, to enter the sacred assembly, and attain fruitions.
The Pure Land Path is the reliance on Amitabha’s vow power for rebirth in the Pure Land, through which we can sever delusions, realize truths, and enter the state of Enlightenment.
「聖道門」是依自己的力量,在此娑婆修六度萬行,以斷惑證真,入聖得果。「淨土門」是乘彌陀願力,往生淨土,在淨土斷惑證真,趣入菩提。
Namo Amituofo!
