慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
(continued)

So, it doesn’t matter whether we recite the Name sincerely and earnestly, or carelessly, or recite in the form of performance like music entertainment, the effect remains the same.

It is similar to taking medicine: although you don’t know the drug’s name, its functions and effects, or you take it voluntarily or being forced, the medicine produces the same effect in your body. This Name serves the same function.

所以稱念這一句名號，不管我們至誠懇切的稱念也好，以漫不經心的方式也好，或者是以音樂娛樂這一種表演方式也好，都能達到效果。

就像藥物，儘管你不知道藥的名稱、功能、藥效，也不管你是自願吃的，還是被強迫的，只要吃下去，藥就會在你身上產生效果──這一句名號，就是有這樣的功能。

Namo Amitabha!
