Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about the Classification of Teachings – the Two Practices (Primary and Miscellaneous)
正雜二行判
Reciting the commentaries that correctly explain the Three Pure Land Sutras, written by the five patriarchs of the Pure Land School (Nagarjuna, Vasubandhu, Tanluan, Daochuo and Shandao) should NOT be regarded as Miscellaneous Practices. In addition, reading those sutras and commentaries that can help us to understand our aptitudes and the causes and effects which lead us to establish Deep Faith, is also NOT regarded as a Miscellaneous Practice.
讀誦龍樹、天親、曇鸞、道綽、善導等淨土五祖正確解釋淨土三經的論釋,不算是「讀誦雜行」;又閱覽有關因果的經論,有助於「機」的深信,也不算「讀誦雜行」。
