master lianchi said:the pure land bliss is upright, and the buddha can be round;
the buddha’s merits are the sea of merits, and the buddha’s will be filled with everything;
all merits are said to be complete.
if you talk about the solemnity of the dependent retribution and the solemnity of the pure land, if you talk in detail, the buddhas and bodhisattvas will talk about it day and night, but you will not talk about it all.however, as long as you recite the sentence "namo amitabha", it will be completely included.the dependent retribution and the main retribution in the pure land are all included in six words.
the buddha has infinite merits, like the sea, with infinite wisdom, infinite supernatural powers, infinite light, infinite compassion, infinite magic power, etc. although there is infinite sea of merits, as long as you recite a name, you will all be inside.the name of amitabha's all virtues is not included in every wish, no action is not prepared, and no buddha is not implemented.no wish is not included in the name of amitabha buddha; the forty-eight great wishes are included in the name of the six-character, and all the wonderful practices, the six perfections, and the eighty-four thousand dharmas are included in the name of the six-character.all the merits and six-character names of all buddhas in the ten directions are fully implemented, while all buddhas in the ten directions praise the name of namo amitabha buddha in the same voice.this shows how incredible this name is.amitabha is the name of all virtues. one talent is raised. all virtues are perfect. if you don’t expect blessings, you will have already prepared blessings.the name of amitabha buddha is called the name of all virtues. all merits are included in the six-character name. only after a single name is recited, all merits will be completely complete. we do not expect the blessings of the world, and blessings will naturally be there.the transcendental law and the worldly law are all included in the six-character name.reciting the name is the good of good and the blessing of blessing.to give his name, he can possess all virtues; to focus on holding on, he can do all kinds of things without any surplus.reciting buddha's name is the good of good and the blessing of blessing.only when the name is revealed, all the merits are fulfilled.concentrate on chanting "namo amitabha" and capture all practices, including the three studies, the six paramitas, and the eighty-four thousand practices without any omissions.how can i understand this? for example, in ancient my country, there was an imperial system, and all the land belonged to the emperor. as the emperor, if you master the jade seal, you will get everything.as the lord of a country, there is no need to say that he will serve as the governor or county magistrate. he is not required at all, and he is all under his jurisdiction.what does it mean? other practices are practices in the causal realm, amitabha's practices are practices in the fruit realm, and the six-character name "namo amitabha" is like an emperor. other practices such as bodhisattvas, pratyekabuddhas, shravakas, and even the five precepts and ten virtues of human and heaven, are like governors and county magistrates, all of which are part of them.one is the general and the other is part, and the general of course includes part.therefore, as long as you recite "namo amitabha", it will be completely included.just like this house, we talk about "house", which is a general name. this house has doors, windows, walls, and stairs. it is composed of bricks, tiles, cement and other materials. however, we don't need to say one by one. if we talk about "house", it will all be included in it, right? "house" is the metaphor for the overall name "namo amitabha". bricks, tiles, doors and windows are metaphors for dispersed practices, which are primary.as long as you recite "namo amitabha", it will be completely included.what the ancestors said is entirely based on classics, not exaggeration.we have quoted it before, "if you hear the name of the buddha, you will be happy and excited, and even have a thought, you should know that this person will have the greatest merits in order to gain great benefits.”the supreme merits are obtained in one thought, so the ancestors all said this, with the same pronunciation.
