Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about the Grace of Deliverance
慧淨法師之救恩法語(二)之愛的心語
The human mind is meant to receive the Dharma-water of Amitabha’s compassionate deliverance.
Only when one truly realizes that one is a sinful, worldly, ordinary being can one accept Amitabha’s deliverance. This is what is meant by, “there is usefulness in emptiness.”
When one recognizes one’s own sinfulness, lack of merit, inability, and lack of practice; in Amitabha’s eyes, we are “useful” beings capable of attaining Buddhahood. If one does not recognize these truths, one is “useless” and cannot attain Buddhahood.
人心是要用來承接彌陀慈悲救度的法水的。
只有體認到自己是罪惡生死凡夫時，方能接受彌陀的救度。這就是「當其無，有器之用」。
認識到自己罪惡、無功德、無能力、無修行時，在彌陀眼裏，我們就是「有用」的人，能夠成佛；認識不到這一點，即是「無用」的人，不能成佛。
Namo Amituofo!
