慧淨上人法語
念佛利益

Master Shandao says, “Invocation of name-recitation means confession and repentance.” We are Amitabha-reciters, so we must take Amitabha-recitation for granted as our exclusive practice. We regard the Buddha’s Name as our life.

It must be “Namo Amituofo” whatever comes up in the mind; it must be “Namo Amituofo” too whenever we open our mouth. Every single recitation refers to confession and repentance of our karmic obscuration; every single recitation can eliminate our karmic offenses.

善導大師說：「念念稱名常懺悔」，我們是念佛人，當然以念佛為專修，以一句彌陀佛名為我們的本命元辰。只要起心動念，就念南無阿彌陀佛，張開嘴巴，也是念南無阿彌陀佛。這樣，每一念每一念都在懺悔我們的業障，每一念每一念都能夠消除我們的罪業。

Namo Amitabha!
