Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about Classification of Teachings – the Sacred and the Pure Land teachings
淨宗判教 – 聖淨二門判
(continued)
It is because, on the Pure Land Path, we rely on the accomplishments of Amitabha. Amitabha’s accomplishments are readily available, and the credentials necessary for rebirth in the Land of Bliss are also readily available. Where are they? They are within his Great Name of myriad virtues - Namo Amituofo.
So, even a person who has committed the Five Gravest Transgressions and the Ten Unwholesome Deeds, can still be reborn; providing that he exclusively recites Amitabha’s Name, and aspires to be reborn.
因為是靠彌陀成就的,而彌陀成就是現成的,極樂世界已經現成,往生極樂世界的功德資糧也已經現成,在哪裡?在這句萬德洪名──「南無阿彌陀佛」。
所以,一個人即使五逆十惡,到了臨終能夠回心,稱念彌陀、願生極樂,也能夠往生。
Namo Amituofo!
