慧淨上人法語
凡夫入報

The Land of Bliss is an unconditioned realm of nirvana. Can we become a Buddha in the Land of Bliss? Yes, we can! Nirvana means no-birth and no-death, no past, present, and future in time, no various deliberate actions and functions. So, upon rebirth in the Land of Bliss, we naturally become buddhas without elapsing any time span, or practicing to proceed from one stage to the other, so it is not necessary to attain Buddhahood gradually. If that is the way, it is not the authentic Land of Bliss.

極樂世界是涅槃的境界，我們到極樂世界會成佛嗎？會！所謂涅槃就是不生不滅，沒有過去現在未來，不假種種功能作用的，往生極樂世界自然就成佛，不需要再經過多少時間，再修什麼樣的行門才能從這個階位到另一個階位，之後才慢慢成佛。如果是這樣的話，就不是真正的極樂世界。

Namo Amitabha!
