慧淨上人法語
念佛方法
We don’t need to recite Amitabha’s name in a special way. We always have thoughts in our mind, and we just switch them to Amitabha-recitation. After a while, we will be fond of reciting because we will be delighted, have little miscellaneous thoughts or affliction when we are well versed in it. Moreover, we no longer care too much about the trivial matters around us, and our work will be smoother too. So, there is no need to set a specific time to recite Amitabha’s name.
We recite as we want. We can recite while we are doing any work at any time and in any place. This is the meaning of “even recite ten times”.
我們念佛也不用特別念啊！我們本來就是有念頭的嘛！只是把它轉來念佛而已。而且念佛一久，就會更喜歡念，因為念佛純熟時就會輕安，比較沒妄想煩惱，對外在的是是非非較不會掛懷，而且做事也較順遂，所以念佛並不需要特別的時間來念。
有心就可以念佛，任何時間、任何地點、任何工作，都可以念佛，這叫做「乃至十念」。
Namo Amitabha!
