慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
All those who recite Amitabha’s name are protected by various buddhas in the ten directions, and never retrogressed on the Bodhi Way. Because of these splendid benefits, Shakyamuni Buddha says, “You should believe and accept my words, and the words of all other buddhas as well.
He advises us to believe and accept what he speaks, and not to doubt. It is because “Faith is the origin of the Way and the mother of all merits and virtues. It fosters the growth of all various roots of virtues”. When faith commences, all benefits come. After having the faith, it is a matter of course that we aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss.
凡是念佛的人都會受到十方諸佛的護念，而且在菩提道上永不會退轉。因為有這種種殊勝的利益，所以釋迦牟尼佛又說：「汝等皆當，信受我語，及諸佛所說。」
勸我們要信受他所講的，不要懷疑。因為「信為道源功德母，長養一切諸善根」，一切的利益都是從信開始的，信了之後，理所當然就會願生極樂世界。
Namo Amitabha!
