慧淨上人法語
凡夫入報
慧淨上人法語
凡夫入報
Upon arrival at the Land of Bliss, we can expedite the achievement of Buddhahood, because our concept of time doesn’t exist in the Land of Bliss. It is similar to the remark Master Shandao made:
“All past karma, numerous as motes of dusts, will extinct once enlightenment is achieved. Without being noticed, we enter the gate of True Suchness. The time span, long as countless eons, will be shortened as a flash of light.”
Great or small kalpas, or countless eons, are just equivalent to one moment, as short as a snap of the fingers.
我們到極樂世界,就快速成佛,因為極樂世界是沒有時間的,就像善導大師所講的:「微塵故業隨智滅,不覺轉入真如門;大小僧祇恒沙劫,亦如彈指須臾間。」大劫小劫、無量的阿僧祇劫猶如彈指一念間,就好像彈個指頭的當下就過了。
Namo Amitabha!
