慧淨上人法語
念佛利益

As long as we invoke the Buddha in mind, we are protected by the manifested buddhas and manifested bodhisattvas surrounding us in thousands of layers. We are always protected and supported by Amitabha, various buddhas, bodhisattvas, as well as dragon kings and devas, the dharma protectors day and night.

In other words, it doesn’t matter who, when, where, and under what circumstance, or whoever, whenever, wherever, and whatever the case is – as long as we recite Amitabha’s name, the Buddha must appear and emit light to protect us, and receive us near the end-of-life. Isn’t it we are comforted, feeling safe and delighted?

我們只要心中念佛，化佛、化菩薩也同樣是百重千重圍繞在我們身邊保護我們。我們二六時中都在彌陀、諸佛、菩薩、護法龍天的擁護當中，亦即：不論何人、何時、何處、何緣，亦即不管什麼人、在什麼時候、什麼地方、做什麼事，只要念佛，佛都會出現，放光加持，臨終就會來接引。這豈不很讓我們感到安慰、安全而喜樂呢！

Namo Amitabha!
