慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
Actually, our body is luminous. Not only human, animals and plants of all kinds are luminous too. It varies with people, however, in terms of brightness and dullness, strong light and weak light, large light and small light. Those who are kind emit bright light; those who are evil emit dark light. If you recollect and invoke the Buddha, your body will radiate the Buddha’s light, which is splendid. Ordinary beings cannot see the Buddha’s light by their flesh eyes. All buddhas and bodhisattvas, however, can see and know; even some spirits, gods and ghosts can see too.
Hence, human should always keep wholesome thinking. The best is to recollect and invoke the Buddha all the time, making the body to radiate the Buddha’s light, so that to be protected and embraced by the Buddha’s light. As a result, jeopardies and disasters will be kept away from them, and blessings and longevity be enriched. By the time close to the end-of-life, they will be received by the Buddha and smoothly reborn in the Pure Land.
其實人身都有光明，不只是人，任何動物、植物也都有光明；至於是明光、黑光，強光、弱光，光大、光小，則因人而異。起善念放明光，起惡念放黑光，若憶佛念佛，便放佛光，而且佛光燦爛；凡夫煩惱肉眼雖不能見，若佛菩薩，無不悉知悉見，乃至靈界鬼神，也都能看得到。
因此，人應當常存善念，最好常能憶佛念佛，讓身上常放佛光，永蒙佛光護持不離。如此現生便能消災免難，增福延壽；臨命終時，蒙佛接引，順利安然往生淨土。
Namo Amitabha!
