慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度

Being existent in this world, our body is severely suffered from poverty and hardship. It will reincarnate within the Six Realms after death, so it is painful beyond words. Amitabha Buddha, being a great donor, comes to deliver us. At this point, all merits and virtues [that we Amitabha-reciters attain] are given by Amitabha Buddha, so that is the reason why it is called ‘Buddha-power’. We will be reborn through Amitabha-recitation with recourse to the Buddha’s power.

我們在肉體存在的這個世間，受盡種種的貧窮困苦，死後還會輪迴六道，苦不堪言。阿彌陀佛就是要做一個大施主來救度我們，從這一點來講，功德是從阿彌陀佛那裏來的，所以叫做「佛力」，我們以念佛乘佛力而往生極樂。

Namo Amitabha!
