Master Huijing’s Short Teaching about the Pure Land (I)
淨土短文 (一)
The Pure Land school was established during the Sui and Tang dynasties. At the time of its founding, it was already at its most complete and perfect. Later generations in the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties could not surpass it. It is like the source of the Yangtze River—its waters are pure and drinkable at the headwaters; but, as it flows downstream, more and more tributary pollution mixes in. By the time it reaches the river’s mouth, can its water still be drunk safely?
淨土宗創立在隋唐時代，創立之時才是最圓滿的，後世宋明清不可能超越 之。如長江源頭的水很清淨，是可以直接喝的，越到後面，旁系污水越匯越多 ，到長江口的水還能直接喝嗎？
