Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Faith in the Pure Land
淨土信仰
Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow is our life, our hope, our light, as well as our source of peace and joy.
Through Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow we are assured of being liberated at the end of this life and anticipate becoming a Buddha upon reaching the Pure Land. Without Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow, we will continue to be reborn for ten thousand eons, without any hope of liberation at the end of this life. We look up to the sky while sighing and crying loudly, and desperately try to grasp that land in our bleeding hands. This desperate suffering cannot be described adequately in words and cannot be imagined.
阿彌陀佛的本願是我們的生命、我們的希望、我們的光明,也是我們安心喜樂的來源。
有阿彌陀佛的本願,我們今生解脫有望、成佛可期;沒有阿彌陀佛的本願,我們將萬劫沉淪、解脫無期,終此一生,將仰望長天,聲嘶啞而哀嚎;匍匐大地,流血淚而悲泣。那種絕望的痛苦,是語言無法形容,人心難以想像的。
Namo Amituofo!
