慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
(continued)

“When that person approaches the point of death, Amitabha Buddha and the sacred assembly will appear before him. When death comes, his mind will not be severely confused. He will at once gain rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Land of Bliss.”

When that person is about to die, Amitabha Buddha and the sacred assembly come before him and welcome him. Therefore, he can be reborn in the Land of Bliss right after the end of his life. So, we have to contribute merits and virtues to our parents and dependents by reciting Namo Amituofo. Such merits and virtues are the greatest, the most abundant, and the most splendid.

「其人臨命終時，阿彌陀佛，與諸聖眾，現在其前。是人終時，心不顛倒，即得往生，阿彌陀佛，極樂國土」。

這個人臨終時，佛聖現前迎接；因此，命終當下，就往生極樂世界。所以我們要為父母眷屬做功德，念南無阿彌陀佛，這樣功德最大、最多、最殊勝。

Namo Amitabha!
