念佛方法
慧淨上人法語
念佛方法
Being an Amitabha-reciter, we always exclusively recite Amitabha’s name, just as Master Shandao taught. “Always” and “exclusively” indicates “do not mix with others” – not to engage concurrently in recitation of other buddha’ names, or other dharani for merit-dedication, also not to engage concurrently in other practices and other teachings for rebirth.
We exclusively recite Amitabha’s name in all circumstances, regardless of time, location and condition, or whether we are busy or in leisure, fortunate or unfortunate, happy or sad, facing the matter of birth-and-death. In every step, in every speech, and in every thought, just recite Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo…
既是念佛人,即如善導大師言「一向專稱彌陀佛名」。「一向」與「專」,顯示「不兼餘」,亦即不兼念餘佛餘咒以迴向,不兼修餘行餘法以求生。
無論何時、何地、何緣,閒忙順逆,苦樂生死,悉皆專念南無阿彌陀佛。步步、聲聲、念念,皆南無阿彌陀佛、南無阿彌陀佛……。
Namo Amitabha!
