慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦
慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦
Our life is not just once at this time, but is a continuum of the past, present and future. So, we should entrust our life – a continuum with birth and death in the past, present and future, impermanent, recycling, segmented life, and take refuge to Amitabha Buddha.
If we truly have the mind of reverence and obedience, ‘namo’, taking refuge, surrender, reliance, we must always remember the Buddha and recite the Buddha. Amitabha-invocation and Amitabha-recitation is the cause, while rebirth to achieve Buddhahood is the effect. From now on, we are certain to leave this turbid and evil, impermanent and recycling life, and assured to be one of the bodhisattvas in the Land of Bliss with infinite life, infinite light, infinite compassion and infinite wisdom.
我們的生命，不只是這一生一世而已，而是貫串著過去、現在、未來，所以，把我們這個貫串著過去、現在、未來的，生生死死的，分段的、輪迴的、無常的生命，完全付託、歸託、依靠於阿彌陀佛。
如果我們真的有這一份恭敬信順，「南無」、「歸命」、「歸投」、「依靠」的心的話，就會時時刻刻憶佛、念佛。而憶佛、念佛是「因」，往生成佛是「果」，從現在開始，就確定離開了濁惡的、無常的、輪迴的生命，確定了已經是極樂世界的無量壽、無量光、無量慈悲、無量智慧的菩薩之一了。
Namo Amitabha!
