慧淨上人法語
念佛度亡
A person at the time close to death usually sees in advance the place he is heading to. We cannot see that because we are not close to death yet. For now the chi of yang (or positive energy) is still vigorous, and the magnetic field is different. At the near end of our life when the chi of yang declines while the chi of yin (or negative energy) escalates, we can see that too.
So, a person who aspires to be reborn in the Land of Bliss and exclusively recites Amitabha’s name in his present lifetime will see the landscape of the Land of Bliss during the near end of his life. A person who commits all kinds of evil offenses will see the landscape of hell before his last breath. He may even have painful feelings, look like suffering from penalties in hell.
一個人在臨命終的時候,往往都會預先看到他要去的地方,我們現在看不到,是因為我們現在未到臨終陽氣很盛,也就是說磁場不一樣,到了臨終的時候,陽氣逐漸衰落,陰氣逐漸增強,就會看到。
所以一個平生願生極樂,專稱彌陀佛名的人,臨終的時候他所看到的,往往就是極樂世界的景象;一個作惡多端,無惡不作的人,他臨終還沒有斷氣時,往往就會看到地獄的景象,甚至親身感受到痛苦,好像已在地獄受刑罰的樣子。
