慧淨上人法語
念佛方法

People of all walks of life can practice Amitabha-recitation at any time in any place. There is no rule or taboo in the practice of Amitabha-recitation in terms of recitation places. With respect to the state of mind, when we sit and recite, holding prayer beads is not necessary; instead, we can count ten. Counting ten during recitation has no restriction too; it serves to keep our mind calm. After counting from one to ten, we can start over again. Don’t continue counting further to twenty or thirty. That may become a mental burden.

念佛是可以落實在士農工商中，隨時隨地的，沒有限定非怎麼樣不可，這是從念佛的處所來講。從心境上來講，打坐念佛不必持念珠，方式以十念記數，十念記數不會有什麼約束性，反而能讓我們的心寂靜，十念念完了就放掉，再從一開始，不要接下去二十、三十的數，這樣會比較累。

Namo Amitabha!
