Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
Our minds are originally filled with ignorance and darkness; however, when our ignorance makes contact with the light of the Land of Bliss, the ignorance will instantly disappear. It is just like a person who suffers an illness for seven years; but, expected to be cured in three. His ignorance prevents him from taking a medicine that can cure him immediately. Though the darkness of our ignorance is continuous and creates endless obstructions in our lives, it will immediately disappear when the unimpeded light of Amitabha Buddha shines upon it.
我們本來心中充滿了很黑闇的無明,可是到了極樂世界,無明碰到極樂世界的光明,當下無明就消除,無明的消除並不需要經過長久的時間,好像一個人身上有病,所謂「七年之病求三年之艾」,病很久了沒辦法一吃藥馬上好,要有時間性。但是我們的無明還有黑闇,甚至充滿宇宙的業障,受阿彌陀佛無礙光明的照破是立即的、當下的。
Namo Amituofo!
