(English subtitles) Buddhist Master Chin-Kung (淨空法師), 1927-2022, talks dharma.
subtitles:
How to eliminate doubt and create belief? Cut off superstition and become enlightened? Indeed, for people with our kind of roots, so-called intellectuals, the most effective way is through sutra and teaching. So, the World-Honored One has been preaching and teaching for 49 years, and he and he made a sample for us. Amitabha Buddha preaches sutra in the Pure Land of Bliss and never rests. Why? ls there a time when the sutra will be finished? Yes.

You see Master Huineng. In the abbot's room of the 5th Patriarch. The Patriarch taught him the Diamond Sutra. Huineng didn't know the words, so he definitely didn't have a copy of the Sutra. No need the sutra. Just talked in general terms.
When talking about the mind has nowhere to abide in, he became enlightened. No need to speak further as it has been perfect. Huineng reported his comprehension. After hearing that, the 5th Patriarch was satisfied and gave him the mantle and bowl. Huineng has understood everything.
In this way, Amitabha preaches the dharma every day and has not finished it for eons. What’s going on?

He mainly gives lectures to newcomers. Many people go to the Pure Land every day. The graduates leave every day and newcomers come in every day.
Therefore, Amitabha preaches dharma uninterruptedly. It's like studying in the school. When the seniors graduate, they leave, and the freshmen come, year by year. It's the same in the Pure Land of Bliss. After graduation, most of them went to other places to become Buddhas. The sutra tells us clearly in the end.
When the sentient beings from the Saha world graduate from the Pure Land in the future, they will become Buddhas in other places with the same name as Wonderful Sound Tathagata?

Isn’t it made clear? When people go to the Pure Land, those who have sharp roots can graduate in a few days, those who have dull roots will take more time. Everyone's progress is different. Some are early, some are late. Graduation is guaranteed.
Dull roots will become sharp roots. He listens to lectures and practices every day. I have experience in this matter. When studying Buddhism, I was unable to do it in the first decade, but I made progress in the 2nd decade, then I made further progress in the 3rd decade than in the 2nd decade.

One step every 10 years, the progress is very obvious, that's why you should never stay away from the teaching or sutra. When can you leave? You can leave as soon as you are fully enlightened and don’t need it anymore.
Only when one achieves great enlightenment and is compatible with all Buddhas and Tathagatas can the problem be truly solved. We must learn the Monk Dharma Store, who dwelt in the true wisdom before he achieved buddhahood.
5:00
We must use true heart when dealing with others and doing things, and should not use delusions.
This is a world full of deception, who is sincere to you? Remember, I have to use true heart. If he deceives me, I will not deceive him. Why do I have to use true heart? Because I want to be enlightened. I want to go to the Land of Bliss, and I can’t go there without using true heart.
Don't think that if you treat Amitabha with true heart , you don't need to treat worldly people with true heart. This is false. One true, all true.
6:00
It will never be divided into two halves. I treat this one with true and treat another with falsehood. It doesn't make sense. It's a prerequisite for wishing to go to the Land of Bliss.
What is true heart? It is sincerity, purity, equality, enlightenment, and compassion, and the heart and thoughts correspond to these, which is true heart.
