慧淨上人法語
專稱彌陀佛名
慧淨上人法語
專稱彌陀佛名
Amitabha-recitation is a demand as well as an order of Amitabha Buddha to sentient beings. So, the Longer Sutra says, “recite my name, even ten times”, and also “recollect/invoke/recite [the name of] Amitayus Buddha single-mindedly”. The Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra also concludes with “single-minded recitation of Amitabha’s Name”.
「念佛」乃是彌陀對眾生的要求與敕命，所以《大經》言「乃至十念」，又言「一向專念無量壽佛」，《觀經疏》也以「一向專稱彌陀佛名」為結論。
Namo Amitabha!
