慧淨上人法語
念佛利益

Amitabha-recitation is the principal karma of assurance for rebirth [in the Land of Bliss]. It suffices for having both present and future benefits. So, we can ask for anything we want through Amitabha-recitation. In addition to Amitabha-recitation, if you pray for your kin’s speedy recovery from an illness by “releasing living beings”, you may do so; but the act should not be considered as a supporting means for rebirth [in the Land of Bliss].

念佛是往生「正定業」，念佛具足「現當二益」，故凡事皆可以念佛求之。若念佛之餘，欲放生求親屬早日病癒，但不作為往生資助，亦無不可。

Namo Amitabha!
