講演集 8:禪學與淨土  Master Hsing Yun’s Lecture Series: Chan and Pure Land
Establishing a Humanistic Pure Land
What is a Pure Land? It is a wonderful land of purity and dignity. More precisely, it is an excellent society, or an elegant world. From our study of the sūtras, we are aware that there is an Amitābha Buddha teaching the Dharma to sentient beings in the Western Pure Land, ten trillion buddha lands away from our sahā world. It is a majestic place of treasures and magnificence, where people lead unparalleled lives, happy and carefree. The Buddha’s teachings have allowed us to recognize that this is undoubtedly true. However, we have never heard of a humanistic Pure Land. Just look around: the negativities around us portray an image of misery.
A Study on the Admonitions of Pure Land (Jingtu Jingyu) by Xingce
Xingce Jieliu 行策截流 (1626-1680) was a famous Pure Land Master during the Qing Dynasty. He devoted himself to the Pure Land practice for self liberation in his early years, and propagated the Pure Land practice for liberating sentient beings in his later years. The Admonitions of Pure Land (Jingtu Jingyu) is Xingce's representative work. Within this work, Xingce emphasized the True Faith for rebirth in the Pure Land and argued that the most expedient Buddhist teaching for rebirth in the Pure Land is the recitation of Amitabha Buddha's name. Xingce adopted Tiantai doctrines as the theoretical foundations to support Pure Land practice. In recognition of his great dedication, Master Yinguang honored Xingce as the 10th patriarch of the Pure Land School.
