慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度

Those who aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss and exclusively recite Amitabha’s name should know they are no longer the ‘guests’ of the Land of Saha, but are already the sagely beings in the Land of Bliss, since they have been living within the embrace of Amitabha’s light, and will enter the realm of unconditioned nirvana after they die. It is known as the assured rebirth in the present life, and thus rebirth is determined.

Our body in this life is formed by karmic retributions. If the karmic retribution in this life comes to the end, and the past karmic conditions are over, our body life will end too. If the karmic retribution has not ended yet, and the past karmic conditions are still active, the body life cannot end.

(continued tomorrow)

願生極樂專念彌陀之人，應知已非娑婆久客，已是極樂聖數，生在彌陀光明攝取中，死入極樂無為涅槃界，已是平生業成、往生決定。

此身是業報身，若業報已盡，宿緣已了，自會命終；若業報未盡，宿緣尚在，命不能終。

Namo Amitabha!
