Master Huijing’s Short Teaching about Pure Land Buddhism (I)
淨土短文 (一)
19. (4/4)
Amitabha’s mind has only one purpose, to save sentient beings. As the scripture says: " Amitabha’s mind is great compassion."
When people do not know this and do not believe it, they cannot be in accord with it. Therefore, they are not practicing in accordance with reality.
True faith consists of Sincere Mind, Single-hearted Mind, Uninterrupted Mind.
It is consistent from beginning to end, never divided, and continues uninterrupted even at the moment of death.
The One Mind consists of these Three Minds: Sincere Mind - purity and genuineness; Single-hearted Mind - decisiveness and unwavering certainty; Uninterrupted Mind - perseverance and continuity.
Thus, the Sincere Mind is pure and true; the Single-hearted Mind is free of duality; and the Uninterrupted Mind remains unchanged.
It should be understood that "mindfulness", from the Pure Land perspective, encompasses both faith and practice, and should be continuous.

佛心只有度眾生的一個心,「佛心者大慈悲是……」不知,不信,故不相應,不 如實修行。
真實信心是「淳心、一心、相續心」,始終一貫,始終不二,臨終相續。 一心之內容則此三心──
淳心:純真性;
一心:決定性;
相續心:持久性。
純實之淳心,無二之一心,不變之相續心。
(「念」不相續:念通信與行。)
Namo Amituofo!
