慧淨上人法語
念佛方法

It is important for us to focus our mind on Amitabha recitation only and set asides all other matters. Then, why do we talk about the teaching? It is because we need to steer our mind to constant recitation of “Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo…”. For ordinary beings like us, it is not easy to do so. Because ordinary beings are habitually distracted, our mind cannot be held in stillness. Instead of wandering around, it is better to read books about the teachings, and listen to words about the teachings.
我們念佛，重要的是心無旁騖，一心念佛。那為什麼還要講法呢？這是因為要我們的心常常稱念「南無阿彌陀佛……南無阿彌陀佛……」，對我們凡夫來說，不容易做到；因為凡夫散亂成習，寂靜不住，與其到處逛，不如閱讀有關這方面的教理，以及聽聞有關這方面的法語。
