慧淨上人法語
凡夫入報

In the Buddhist scriptures, especially the Treatise of Rebirth written by Master Tanluan, in particular, do mention that, our six sensual ‘roots’ (organs) will be enlightened when they get in contact with the respective six circumstantial ‘dusts’ (environment) upon our rebirth in the Land of Bliss.

In other words, when our eyes see the landscape there, our ears hear the sounds there, our nose smells the odors there, our body touches the thing there, we will be totally enlightened. It is similar to Shakyamuni Buddha who was an ordinary being before he was seated on the bodhi altar. However, once he sat on the bodhi altar and watched the morning star, he was fully enlightened instantly with all paranormal powers and thousands of dharani manifested immediately.

經典上所說，尤其是曇鸞大師的《往生論註》， 都有談到往生極樂世界後，我們的六根對那裡的六塵，當下就悟道。

也就是說，眼根看到那裡的景象、耳根聽到那裡的聲音、鼻根聞到那裡的種種味道、身體觸到那裡的東西，當下都能讓我們大徹大悟。就好像釋迦牟尼佛在未坐菩提座之前是凡夫，可是一旦坐上菩提座，夜睹明星，當下大徹大悟，大悟徹底，三明六通、百千陀羅尼立即現前。

Namo Amitabha!
