善導大師語錄
《觀經疏》「二種深信」之文
The first kind of determined deep faith: We are iniquitous, ordinary beings subject to endless rebirth. Since time immemorial, we have died and been reincarnated, without any causal conditions to leave the cycle of rebirth.
The second kind of determined deep faith: Amitabha Buddha embraces and receives all sentient beings with his 48 Vows. Without doubt and anxiety, we are assured of rebirth [in the Pure Land] with recourse to the power of his vows.
一者決定深信:自身現是罪惡生死凡夫,曠劫以來常沒常流轉,無有出離之緣。
二者決定深信:彼阿彌陀佛四十八願,攝受眾生;無疑無慮,乘彼 願力,定得往生。
Namo Amitabha!
