慧淨上人法語
念佛方法
An Amitabha-reciter should recite Amitabha’s name in the course of fulfilling his duties and responsibilities [in his daily life]. Fulfilling his duties and responsibilities does not violate the practice of name-recitation. Practicing name-recitation does not violate the fulfillment of his duties and responsibilities.
In this era of moral degeneration, our practice of the worldly ethics and morality can benefit others, purify the society, and also purify our body and mind. So, it is completely not in conflict with the practice of Amitabha-recitation.
念佛人應在履行責任義務當中念佛。履行責任義務不違背稱名念佛,稱名念佛也不違背履行責任義務。
何況現在是所謂人心不古、世風日下的時代,我們實踐人世間的倫理道德,不但可以淑世利人、淨化社會,也能淨化我們的身心,所以它本身跟念佛來講是完全不不衝突的。
Namo Amitabha!
