念佛方法
慧淨上人法語
念佛方法
All of us are ordinary beings with heavy karmic obstructions. Although we recite Amitabha’s name, our heart of Amitabha-recitation is tiny, as small as a white path of 4 to 5 inches wide, while our mind of greed, hatred, and false thoughts is vast, just like the boundless sea.
Nevertheless, we should always remind ourselves about this and reflect on our own mind, so that we will naturally feel remorse all the time, and soften our heart. Moreover, we will also grow aware that only by the grace [of the Buddha] we can attain Amitabha’s deliverance in the present life, and be liberated from reincarnations within the Six Paths.
我們都是業障深重的凡夫，雖然念佛，可是念佛的心，小到只有四、五寸的白道而已，而貪慾的心、瞋恨的心、妄想的心，卻廣大得像無邊的大海。
但是我們仍然要時時提醒，反觀自照，這樣自然就會常懷懺悔， 心漸漸柔軟。另外，也會因為知道像我們這樣的人，竟然現生就能夠獲得彌陀救度，解脫六道生死輪迴，而生起感恩的心。
Namo Amitabha!
