今天农历四月十四日,是净土宗十一祖省庵大师的往生日。南无阿弥陀佛。
Today, the 14th day of the 4th lunar month, is the Pure Land Tradition’s 11th Patriarch Great Master Xing’an’s day of rebirth in Pure Land. Namo Amituofo.
修行则勤劳暂时,
安乐永劫;
懈怠则偷安一世,
受苦多生。
净土宗十一祖省庵大师
《劝发菩提心文》
Cultivating [Pure Land] practice [now, is] thus diligence [for a] brief period, [for] peace [and] bliss [of] everlasting kalpas; [while] laziness [is] thus seeking [of] thoughtless pleasures [for only] one whole lifetime, [with] experience [of] suffering [for] many [future] lifetimes [when positive karma exhausts].
Pure Land Tradition’s 11th Patriarch Great Master Xǐng’ān
