慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
Amitabha Buddha wants us not just to acquire benefits in the present lifetime by reciting His Name; but more importantly, urges us to aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and He will receive us at the point of death for our rebirth in the Land of Bliss. Because happiness in the present life, no matter how exuberant, is short-lived, only rebirth in the Land of Bliss is ultimate.
In general, people who learn Buddhism expect nothing more than to eradicate karmic obstruction, to seek more blessing and greater wisdom, and to invoke for better health, prosperous career, happy family, and fulfillment of wishes. However, as long as they recite Amitabha’s name faithfully, they will get what they ask unknowingly.
阿彌陀佛不只是要我們念佛獲得現生的利益而已，更要我們發願往生極樂世界，臨終接引我們往生極樂世界，因為現生再怎麼樣的幸福安樂畢竟都是短暫的，唯有往生極樂世界才是究竟的。
一般人學佛，無非是為了消業障、增福慧、身體健康、事業發達、家庭和樂、所求如意，但林林總總的這一些，只要他虔誠念佛，無形之中都會得到他所祈求的。
Namo Amitabha!
