宗派传承 Lineage
【净土宗】
宗,为「尊」、「崇」、「主」之义,引申有「独尊」、「统摄」、「唯一」、「最胜」等义。亦即:在佛说一切法门中,独尊某一法门为主,并以此统摄其余所有法门之教义体系及教团组织,即称为「宗」,也称「宗派」。
中国佛教共分八宗,净土宗独尊念佛,以之为一代佛教归宗结顶之法,所谓「《华严》奥藏,《法华》秘髓,一切诸佛之心要,菩萨万行之司南,皆不出於此。」
净土宗由唐代善导大师(613—681)创立,奉《无量寿经》、《观经》、《阿弥陀经》为正依经典,依龙树菩萨《易行品》、天亲菩萨《往生论》、昙鸾大师《往生论注》、《赞阿弥陀佛偈》、道绰大师《安乐集》、善导大师《观经疏》、《观念法门》、《法事赞》、《往生礼赞》、《般舟赞》为相承祖师论释;尤尊善导大师《观经疏》为开宗立教之根本祖典。
净土宗以阿弥陀佛因愿果号为立教根本,以四十八愿中第十八愿为轴心,建立难易二道、自他二力、圣净二门、要弘二门之教判体系,确立心行业规范;以「信受弥陀救度,专称弥陀佛名,愿生弥陀净土,广度十方众生」为宗旨,以「本愿称名,凡夫入报;平生业成,现生不退」为特色。
净土宗僧团
净土宗僧团秉承「自信教人信」的志向,引导大众称念弥陀佛名,并接引、培育有缘人于此出家,成为净土宗僧才,愿作弥陀手足,引领众生同归极乐故乡。教团常年于各地开展法义、念佛共修、超荐佛事、外出关怀助念、法宝流通、传授皈依等活动。期盼更多有志之士加入行列,使净土宗在各地扎根,光大净土法门,普度群生。
