Short Teaching about Pure Land Buddhism (I)
淨土短文 (一)
17. (3 /5 continued)
Faith is established by Amitabha Buddha touching and moving sentient beings. Faith is the experience of being transformed by Amitabha Buddha.
To believe is to be touched by Amitabha’s light. Faith is the highest good, a goodness that transcends good and evil.
The so-called Five Gravest Transgressions and slander of the Dharma actually refer to acts that go against Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow. To slander the True Dharma is precisely not believing in Amitabha’s Fundamental Vow.
When one’s heart is completely at peace , the mind naturally becomes bright and open, and the face takes on a radiance. Truly, “when the mind is at peace, the countenance shines.”

17.(續 3/5)
信心是佛觸動眾生，使眾生發起。信心──感受──被佛所感化。 信者即是觸其光明。信心是最高善，超越善惡之善。
所謂五逆謗法，實際是指違背本願之事，既誹謗正法，即不信本願。 完全心安之後，心情不覺開朗，容貌有了光輝。真是「心安顏明」。
Namo Amituofo!
