Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching of the Patriarchal Lineage of the Pure Land School – the 18th Vow
淨宗傳承之第十八願
As said in the 18th Vow, you should fully believe in attaining assured rebirth through aspiration for rebirth and Amitabha-recitation. You should Really aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and you should be genuine in practicing exclusive Amitabha-recitation. That is known as “sincerely and joyfully entrusting yourself”, “sincerely wishing to be reborn” and “sincerely reciting even ten times”. True sincerity comes from the bottom of your heart and is really produced from your deepest mind.
I really believe in the existence of Amitabha, and I believe Amitabha will certainly deliver me. I really believe in the existence of the Land of Bliss as my refuge, and I really wish to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. A person with this kind of genuine belief will not give up midway.

第十八願所講的是，你要真正的相信願生稱名就必定往生，你要真正的願生極樂 ，你要真正的專稱彌陀名號，所以才說要「至心信樂」，要「至心欲生我國」，要「至 心乃至十念」，所以至心是出自於內心，真正從內心產生的。
我從內心真正的相信有彌陀，而且相信彌陀是要救度我的，我真正的相信有極樂 ，極樂是我的歸宿，而我也真的願生極樂，這種相信就是真正的相信，就不會半途而廢。
Namo Amituofo!
