慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度

So long as you recite Amitabha’s name all the time, each and every recitation is aspiration as well as dedication for rebirth.  So, every name recitation reveals the merits and virtues Amitabha dedicates to us, and calls on us to allow his deliverance. Each recitation also reveals that we believe, follow and obey Amitabha’s deliverance, receive his merits and virtues, and aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss. So, every recitation is an expression of this kind of mindset. It says, “By one recitation, we respond to the Buddha once; by many recitations, we respond to the Buddha many times”.

你只要時時刻刻稱名，念念之中都是在發願，都在迴向。所以，每句名號裏面，都是在流露彌陀迴向給我們的功德，呼喚我們讓他救度，也都是在流露自己隨順、信順彌陀的救度，領受他的功德，願往生極樂世界。所以，聲聲名號都是在表達這種心，所以說「一念相應一念佛，念念相應念念佛」。

Namo Amitabha!
