Master Huijing’s Short Teaching about the Pure Land (I)
淨土短文 (一)
10. “Reward Body” (Sambhogakaya) refers to the fact that, because past vows and cultivation differ: the time for attaining Buddhahood, circumstances and conditions for enlightenment, and the manner of delivering sentient beings also differ.
Amitabha Buddha (also known as the Tathagata of Unobstructed Light) — the Buddha’s Reward Body, as accomplished in actuality consists of:
Essence → Reality Body (Body of Suchness / Dharmakaya) → Perfect fulfillment of self-benefit → Gate of Great Wisdom → Great Wisdom realizing Ultimate Reality → In meaning → Light
Light is Ultimate Reality → Light embraces the Dharmakaya → “May I attain Buddhahood…”
Function → Body for the sake of beings → Perfect fulfillment of benefiting others → Gate of Great Compassion → Great Compassion benefiting sentient beings → In name → the Name of Amitabha Buddha
The Name exists for the sake of beings.
The Name permeates sentient beings.
“If they are not born (in my land), may I not attain Enlightenment.”
Infinite Light and Amitabha’s Name are one body, non-dual.

10.「報身」指由於過去的願力和經歷不同，因而成佛的時間、因緣、度眾的情 形也有所差異。
阿彌陀佛（無礙光如來）─ 事佛 ─ 報身：
體—實相身—自利圓滿—大智門—大智證實相—義—光明 光明實相—光明攝法身—設我得佛。
用—為物身—利他圓滿—大悲門—大悲利眾生—名—名號
名號為物—名號攝眾生—若不生者。
光明名號，一體不二。
Namo Amituofo!
