慧淨上人法語
念佛方法

Each person should recite this Name in accordance with his aptitude, and there is no restrictive condition, nor specified level of requirements. If he is a monastic, recite it as a monastic; if he is a householder, recite it as a householder. If his character is relatively gentle and non-contentious, he can recite in such a manner. If his character is relatively stubborn with an inquisitive mind, or if he is loaded with heavy afflictions, or filled with false thought in the course of Amitabha-recitation, it doesn’t matter. It is all right as long as he continues reciting the Buddha’s name.

每一個人就依他當下的根器去念這一句名號，沒有任何條件的限定，或者某一種水平的規定；他是在家就依在家的身分、出家就依出家的身分去念佛；他的個性比較調柔、無諍，就以調柔無諍的個性去念佛；他的 個性比較剛強，凡事都要問清理由，或者煩惱比較重，念起佛來就妄想雜念紛飛，這都沒關係，只要他念佛就可以了。

Namo Amitabha!
