慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
Those who do not recite Amitabha’s name always think and invoke in accordance with his karmic afflictions and habitual behavior. This makes them feel unhappy and stressful, both physically and mentally. By reciting Amitabha’s name, they can open their mind with wisdom, and clear karmic obstruction. Moreover, they also feel relaxed and comfortable, both physically and mentally because they don’t have false and miscellaneous thoughts now.
After they practice Amitabha-recitation for a period of time, they will have an experience of tranquility. Their temperament, character, habit, and amusement are changed. The character of a person who was previously impatient, hot-tempered, calculative, and attached in all matters will also change. He will take it easy for all worldly disputes. So, Amiatbha-recitation costs us nothing; it benefits us in various ways.
沒有念佛的人都會隨煩惱、習氣而起心動念,這樣會使人感到身心沈重,心情不愉悅。念佛不但能開智慧、消業障,且因為沒有妄想雜念,而感覺身心輕安。
念佛久了,因為有寂靜的體會,人的氣質、個性、習慣、娛樂就會改變,一個原來急躁、暴躁,凡事與人計較、執著的人,個性會改變,對世間的是非會看淡。所以念佛不但不用付出,還會得到種種的利益。
Namo Amitabha!
