If the lay people who study the Pure Land Sect are all called "Miaoyin lay people", this is well-founded. It is proclaimed by the World Honored One himself in the "Buddha Speaks of the Sutra of Infinite Life, Ornament, Purity, Equality and Enlightenment".
Four trillions of nayutas and hundreds of thousands of sentient beings. I have no intention of attaining supreme Bodhi. This is the beginning. Plant good roots. May you be born in bliss. See Amitabha Buddha. Everyone should be reborn in that Tathagata land. Each attained Buddhahood in different stages. The same name is Wonderful Sound Tathagata.
This is a prophecy for all the people. When we study this sutra, it is also prophesied for us. We are in it. Please see Nian Lao’s comments. "Those who are starting to develop now are the ones who develop bodhicitta." This is a person who listens to this sutra. He has not developed the supreme bodhicitta. He has not developed this intention yet. He has only developed it today and knows how to plant good roots. Good roots, good roots in the world are non-greed, non-anger, and non-delusion. The Mahayana Bodhisattva has only one good root, which is to be diligent, not slacking off, and not retreating. The Bodhisattva has a good root, and all good dharma arises from this root. Therefore, "If you sow good roots, you may be able to achieve ultimate happiness." Where is the implementation of "planting good roots"? Just implement the word "wish to live", why? If you are born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, your good roots will never be lost or changed; if you are born in the World of Ultimate Bliss, you will always make unremitting efforts, all of which are embodied in this word. Why would you turn away when you see Amitabha? impossible! There is such a wish, "Everyone should be reborn in that Tathagata Land." "That" is Amitabha Buddha, and we have decided to be reborn in Amitabha Buddha's Land of Ultimate Bliss. In the future, when Buddhas become Buddhas, "everyone will become Buddhas in different directions." In the future, everyone will become Buddhas. What is the name of Buddhahood? "The Tathagata with the same name as Wonderful Sound". What is "wonderful sound"? The wonderful sound is just this Buddha's name, because you became a Buddha by chanting the Buddha's name. Therefore, when we take refuge, the three refuges are named after the Dharma. We all use Wonderful Sound. Now you are a layman of Wonderful Sound, and in the future you will be the Tathagata of Wonderful Sound. The cause and effect correspond to each other. This is how this wonderful sound comes from. It has the same name as the wonderful sound. If you understand this meaning, you will be very happy. (Teachings from Master Jingkong)
