The Dharma that must be believed (continued)
Master Shandao says in the beginning of “In Praise of Pratyutpanna”, “Shakyamuni Buddha is like a kind and compassionate parent, who provides various expedient teachings to arouse your unsurpassed faith.” This clearly indicates that the reason Shakyamuni Buddha appeared in the world is to guide all Buddhist practitioners with various expedient teachings, in order to awaken faith in the teaching of Amitabha’s deliverance through Amitabha-recitation.
必信之法 (續)
阿彌陀佛的救度是我們必須要信受、不得不歸信的,因為除了歸信彌陀,我們別無出路。即使其他法門不信,彌陀救度必須生信。信者得生,不信不生;信即解脫,不信即輪迴。
Namo Amituofo!
