慧淨上人法語
正依經典

The most fundamental practice of all sects and schools of Buddhism must be based on the sutras. Similarly, adoption of a practice for rebirth in the Land of Bliss, which is very important, must also be based on a solid ground, and cannot be any arbitrary act without a base. The adopted practice must be based on the trustworthy words of a sage, i.e. what the Buddha says. If we do not follow the Buddha’s words, the result will like what this saying describes, “if one word is deviated from the sutras, it is equivalent to the demon’s words”.

各宗各派最根本的修行方法都必須要依據經典，同樣的，往生極樂世界是非常重要的，所以方法的認定一定要有所根據，不可以漫無標準沒有根據，而所根據的必須是聖言量──也就是佛所說，如果不依佛所說，所謂「離經一字，便同魔說」。

Namo Amitabha!
