Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about the Amitabha Sutra
《佛說阿彌陀經》
(continued)
“Single-minded without confusion” is the mind of exclusive belief in Amitabha Buddha, and the exclusive practice of reciting Amitabha’s Name. This means: no other mind, unchanged, and not mixed or confused.
If someone says, “Hello, there is a truly splendid teaching. Come on and learn it!” We should not bother to listen to it, because we know that no other teaching is better than reciting Amitabha’s Name. By merely holding Amitabha’s Name, we are given a myriad of virtues and we are assured of rebirth at once, without any further teachings. Therefore, we don’t need to be curious and to change our mind of believing and accepting Amitabha Buddha. This is known as being “Single-minded without confusion”.
「一心不亂」,就是專信阿彌陀佛、專念彌陀名號的心,沒有其他的心;而且不變動、不雜亂,這就是「一心不亂」。
人家如果說:「某某人啊!有一個法門非常殊勝哦!你來學學看吧!」我們也不好奇,任何法門我們都會覺得不如這句彌陀名號,只要有這一句彌陀名號,就萬德具足,往生的事情當下成就,不必依靠其他,所以我們不會好奇,而動亂我們對阿彌陀佛信受的心,這叫做一心不亂。
Namo Amituofo!
