慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度

By the time that we believe and accept Amitabha’s deliverance, aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss and recite the Name, we are already on board of Amitabha’s ship. It doesn’t mean we have to recite his Name single-mindedly with no distracted mind, or in a proficient manner reaching a certain realm, like in one-pointedness, otherwise we are not on board. It also doesn’t mean we recite his Name now, and will attain one-pointed recitation without the distracted mind in future, in order to be on board. It should be: at the moment of believing and accepting, at the moment of reciting the Name, we are on board right the way.

我們只要信受彌陀的救度，願生極樂，稱念名號，當下就在彌陀的本願船上了；並不是說我要念佛念到一心不亂、功夫成片、動靜一如，那時候才是坐在船上；也不是現在念佛，將來一心不亂才是坐在船上，而是當下信受，當下稱念，當下就在船上了。Namo Amitabha!，願生極樂，稱念名號，當下就在彌陀的本願船上了；並不是說我要念佛念到一心不亂、功夫成片、動靜一如，那時候才是坐在船上；也不是現在念佛，將來一心不亂才是坐在船上，而是當下信受，當下稱念，當下就在船上了。

Namo Amitabha!
