慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
(continued)

Why? It is because when you speak to him, his enemies and debtors are also there listening to your words. They also prefer to be reborn because they want to attain happiness and depart from suffering. Subsequently, by the time they recite “Namo Amitabha”, Amitabha’s light instantly illuminates. Amitabha Buddha holds a lotus flower in hand, and appears before them. All of them including the dying person, lonely ghosts nearby, debtors, and enemies will go to the Land of Bliss together, just like boarding onto a ship.

Think about it: the merits and virtues of Amitabha-recitation are so great and so splendid. Hence, if you want to pay up your karmic debts, or turn your enemies become friends, you can merely recite Namo Amitabha. It is not just the easiest, but also the most splendid way.

為什麼？因為在你為他開示的當時，怨家債主在旁邊聽到了，他也想往生啊，因為他也想離苦得樂，接下來，「南無阿彌陀佛」一念出來，伴著佛號，立刻當場放光，阿彌陀佛同時拿著蓮華，出現在他的面前，臨終的人還有附近的孤魂野鬼、怨家債主，就通通好像坐船一樣，一船的人馬上就到極樂世界了。

想看看，這樣念佛的功德有多麼大！多麼的殊勝！所以要化解怨結，償還業債，只有稱念南無阿彌陀佛，不但最簡易，也最殊勝。

Namo Amitabha!
