慧淨上人法語
念佛度亡
慧淨上人法語
念佛度亡
Rebirth in the Land of Bliss is natural for a person who aspires to be reborn there and exclusively recites Amitabha’s name. It is because such a cause leads to such an effect. However, for persons who do not always recite Amitabha’s name, he must be very cautious and pay grave attention to the event of end-of-life. There is a saying, “One thought at the time approaching to the end-of-life is more important than cultivation over a hundred years”.
So, facing the end of our life, don’t fall into a panic or attach (to this saha world); do invoke Amitabha Buddha. After your rebirth in the Land of Bliss, you can come back and deliver your family members. Once they’re reborn in the Pure Land, you will enjoy reunion with them forever.
Either reciting Amitabha’s name until the end of life, or reciting Amitabha’s name at the end of life, we will be received by Amitabha Buddha and a multitude of sagely beings, without being invited. This cannot be hindered by any kind of karmic obstructions.
一個願生極樂，專稱佛名的念佛人，往生極樂世界是自然的事，因為如是因，如是果。可是一般沒有念佛的人，對於臨終這件事就要非常的審慎與重視。 有句話說：「臨終一念，勝過百年修行之功。」
所以面臨死亡，不要驚慌恐懼，不要留戀不捨，應念彌陀，往生極樂世界之後，再來救度家人，同生淨土，永遠團聚。
念佛臨終，或臨終念佛，佛與聖眾，不請自來，接引往生，任何業障，無能障礙。
Namo Amitabha!
