cảm ứng
moved to response through feelings
- To feel and respond. The communion of the minds of the Buddha and practitioners. The mind of faith and/or good roots of sentient beings penetrate the buddhas and bodhisattvas and cause them to respond. Thus, it is the reception of our mind of faith by the Buddha, and his response to it. In Pure Land Buddhism 淨土宗, it refers to the awareness of Amitâbha 阿彌陀 Buddha of the recitation of his name by sentient beings, and his response of saving them. [resp. Charles Muller]
- For an extensive investigation into the pervasive role of this concept in Chinese religious thought, see the chapter entitled Chinese Buddhism and the Cosmology of Sympathetic Resonance in Robert Sharf's Coming to Terms with Chinese Buddhism (University of Hawai`i, 2002). [resp. Charles Muller]
