Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about Faith in the Pure Land School
淨土信仰
According to the Pure Land teaching, a thousand out of a thousand who believe will be reborn; ten thousand out of ten thousand who believe will be reborn.
Even those who commit the Five Gravest Transgressions, the Ten Unwholesome Deeds, and those with other extremely heavy karmic offenses; though they should fall into one of the hells, Amitabha Buddha will save them. If they don’t believe in Amitabha and aspire to be reborn in his Pure Land, the Buddha will not save them. It is because they don’t believe, don’t rely upon, or accept the grace of the Buddha’s Deliverance.
淨土法門千信即千生,萬信即萬生。
犯五逆十惡,極重罪人,應墮阿鼻,佛可以救;若不信佛,佛不能救。因為不信佛、不靠佛、不接受佛的救度之恩。
Namo Amituofo!
