慧淨上人法語
信受彌陀救度
Our doubt about Amitabha Buddha can be dissipated by the bright Name of Amitabha Buddha (in a form of light). On one hand, through a deep and comprehensive study of the teachings and a full understanding of the principles, we can also foster a belief in and make no doubt that sentient beings will certainly be reborn through Amitabha-recitation. On the other hand, as long as we exclusively recite Amitabha’s name, we are also able to imperceptibly nourish a belief in Amitabha’s deliverance and dispel the doubt. In general, however, it is easier to clear up doubts and establish faith through comprehension and apprehension of the bright Name.
我們對阿彌陀佛的懷疑是會受阿彌陀佛的光明名號所消除的,一方面,我們就教理去深入探討、融會貫通,也能夠信受只要眾生稱念就必得往生而沒有懷疑;一方面,只要專稱彌陀佛名,在無形之中,對彌陀的救度也會破疑生信。不過,往往必須透過對這句光明名號的理解體會比較容易「破疑生信」。
Namo Amitabha!
