慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
If a person, upon hearing, believes Amitabha’s deliverance and the principle of the Name, he will find joy in the dharma when he is vexed. He will be comforted even when he feels so annoyed that he cannot recite the Name. He will also bear up against unfavorable situation when it comes. That will happen.
When vexation comes, he will not take it as is. When suffering comes, he will not care about it. Even though he cannot recite the Name, his mind is peaceful and stable. At the same time, if he can recite the Name, he will stop the painful uttering of “aah, aah” and replaced them with “‘Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo...” He will recite in this way.

如果聞信了阿彌陀佛的救度、聞信這句名號的原理的話，煩惱來了，他會有法喜，苦惱得念不出聲，也會有安慰；逆境來的時候，也會甘於承受，會這樣的。
煩惱來了，就不以煩惱為煩惱；痛苦來了，也不以痛苦為掛礙，這句名號即使念不出來，心總是安穩的。同時，他如果能念佛的話，就會停止原來很苦的「哎喲、哎喲」聲，代之以「南無阿彌陀佛、南無阿彌陀佛……」，就會這樣念。
Namo Amitabha!
