慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
(continued)

We depend on Amitabha Buddha, not ourselves, for aspiration for rebirth in the Land of Bliss, as well as for reaching the realm of the Land of Bliss. We merely do in accordance with Amitabha Buddha's wish – Amitabha advises us to recite his name, so do we. Therefore, our responsibility is to recite, and Amitabha’s responsibility is to receive and guide us for rebirth in the Land of Bliss. Being reborn in the Land of Bliss and attaining Buddhahood there, we depend solely on the power of Amitabha Buddha.

我們要往生極樂世界，以及到極樂世界的境界，都是靠佛，完全不是靠我們。我們只不過是隨順阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛要我們念佛，我們就念佛，所以念佛是我們負責，接引往生極樂世界是阿彌陀佛負責。往生到極樂世界、在那裡成佛等等，全都是由於阿彌陀佛的力量。

Namo Amitabha!
