Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about the Grace of Deliverance
慧淨法師之救恩法語(一)
Only Amitabha made vows for us after five eons of contemplation,
Only Amitabha practiced for us for countless eons,
Only Amitabha’s merit and virtues can eradicate our karmic offenses,
So, only Amitabha can deliver us from Samsara.
This is not because we have done so many good deeds,
And not because we have cultivated so many practices,
Because we are incapable of doing those practices adequately and are incapable
of cutting off greed, hatred, and delusion no matter what we do.
唯有彌陀為我們五劫發願,唯有彌陀為我們永劫修行,
唯有彌陀的功德可以消我們的罪,所以也唯有彌陀能救度我們出離輪迴。
不是因為我們做了多少好事,也不是因為我們修多少行,
我們自己無法救自己,因為無論我們做什麼都無法斷除貪瞋癡。
Namo Amituofo!
