慧淨上人法語
念佛利益

Master Shandao says: Amitabha-recitation suffices four kinds of virtues – repenting, praising, aspiring and adorning. Amitabha-recitation also provides five kinds of augmentative merit and virtues – eradication of karmic offenses, protection and caring, visualization of the Buddha, embracing for rebirth and certification f rebirth. Itt doesn’t matter whether you know it or not, believe it or not, ask it or not, you will have such a great benefit with unsurpassed merits and virtues, if you always recite Amitabha’s name. It is purely because of the Buddha’s power. So, those learner should learn this; those have faith should believe this; those have practice should practice this.

善導大師說：念佛本身，具足四德，也就是「懺悔、讚歎、發願、莊嚴」；又說：念佛有五種增上功德，即「滅罪、護念、見佛、攝生、證生」等。不論知不知、信不信，一向稱名念佛，不知不求，便有如此大利無上功德，這純粹是佛力。學者學此，信者信此，行者行此。

Namo Amitabha!
