慧淨上人法語
專稱彌陀佛名

Amitabha Buddha is a body of the Dharmadhatu (universal Buddha). It is so-called because the merits and virtues of all Buddhas in the ten directions are fully and perfectly stored in one single body—Amitabha Buddha—without missing any of them. So, when we exclusively recite the name of one buddha—Amitabha Buddha, the effect is the same as reciting the names of all Buddhas in the ten directions and in the three periods of time. This is known as “take all by one lift, without missing anything”.

阿彌陀佛是法界藏身，所謂「法界藏身」，就是十方法界一切諸佛的功德，都完全具備在阿彌陀佛一佛當中，無有絲毫遺漏。所以只要專稱彌陀一佛，等同具足的稱念十方三世一切諸佛，所謂「舉一全收，無欠無餘」。

Namo Amitabha!
