慧淨上人法語
人生目的

Buddhism is the teaching that renders us happiness and relieves us from sufferings. Amitabha’s teaching of deliverance is exactly the Dharma that enables all sentient beings thoroughly to secure happiness and end sufferings in this lifetime. As you have been delivered, living in the embrace of Amitabha, the dark and hell-like suffering is transformed into a bright and happy life. What else are you still suffering from?

We should delight ourselves with knowing in this lifetime the great matter of human life and having reached the goal of life; we should not live as if intoxicated or dreaming like other people and worry about short-term hardship.

佛法是拔苦與樂之法，能讓一切眾生此生即徹底拔苦與樂的，正是彌陀救度法門。你既然已蒙救度，活在彌陀懷抱中，世間黑暗苦獄轉為安樂光景，則何苦之有？應為自己今生能知道人生的大事，達成人生的目的而喜，不可隨同世人醉生夢死，以短暫的苦境為憂。

Namo Amitabha!
