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
People often say, “I can do good;” but, they forget that they are also capable of doing evil.
The human heart is filled with greed, anger, and delusion; all of these are karma, all of these are offenses.
In this world, there is no true goodness — only Amitabha’s Original Vow is true goodness.
Our own goodness cannot save us; only Amitabha can save us.
Whether we are saved or not does not depend on the greatness or smallness of our good deeds — it depends on whether or not we believe in Amitabha’s saving grace.
Our salvation is rooted in Amitabha’s compassionate vows, and accepted through faith — it is absolutely not achieved by our own actions, for our actions are powerless.
Yet after being saved, we will naturally perform good deeds — and where do these good deeds come from?
They arise from the love of Amitabha within us.
一般人說我會行善，但他忘記了，他同時還會行惡。
人的內心充滿貪瞋癡，無不是業，無不是罪。
世間無一真善，唯彌陀本願是真善。我們的善良不能救我們，彌陀才能救我 們。
我們得救與否，不是看我們的善行大小，乃是看我們信不信彌陀救度。 我們得救是本乎彌陀悲願，也因著信，絕不是靠自己的行為，行為是無力的。
但得救之後，我們自然會有善行，這個善行從哪裡來呢？從裡面彌陀的愛心 而來。
Namo Amituofo!
