慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦

In our teaching, we talk about Amitabha’s deliverance, and about Amitabha’s love, as well as Amitabha’s forgiveness for us. Think about it: If Amitabha does not love us, why does he deliver us? If Amitabha does not forgive us, how can we be delivered?

Think about it: We have committed the three karmas life after life till now, so how can we get through the hell’s gate reigned by Yama King? Will Yama King forgive us? Yama King refuses to forgive us, and the law of cause and effect refuses to forgive us. Only Amitabha Buddha will forgive us, and not bargain with us, but come to deliver us.

我們這個法門是講彌陀的救度，也就是講彌陀對我們的愛、彌陀對我們的包容。想想看，如果彌陀不愛我們，怎麼會救我們呢？如果彌陀不包容我們，我們怎麼可能被救度呢？

想想看，我們生生世世，乃至此生此世，我們的三業行為過得了閻羅王這一關嗎？閻羅王會包容我們嗎？閻羅王不肯包容我們的，因果也不肯包容我們的，只有阿彌陀佛包容我們，不跟我們計較，而且還要來救我們。

Namo Amitabha!
