慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
慧淨上人法語
念佛利益
Life is a dream; worldly matters are illusions. Though we are healthy for a hundred years, and we have fortune for the whole life, it will be gone in a flash of light, and vanishes suddenly. If we cannot be reborn [in the Land of Bliss], we are bound to continue to reincarnate. Reincarnation is the foremost catastrophe. The aim and the benefit of Amitabha-recitation is to eradicate this great catastrophe of reincarnation.
The present benefit is limited, say for a few decades only, however, the benefit of rebirth is unlimited, transcending all finite numbers. If we can be reborn 9in the Land of Bliss), we will end the boundless and limitless reincarnation of birth-and-death forever, and have no more sufferings in birth, aging, illness and death. The length of our life is immeasurable, same as Amitabha, having infinite light, infinite compassion, infinite wisdom, infinite paranormal powers, and freedom and comfort in body and mind with the unobstructed reward of joy.
人生是夢，世事若幻，健康百年，幸福一世，瞬息便逝，轉眼成空。若不往生，尚在輪迴，輪迴便是第一大災難；念佛之目的與利益，正在於消除此一輪迴之大災難。
因現世利益，僅幾十年，有限；往生利益，超越數量，無窮。若能往生，則未來無窮無盡的生死輪迴，從此斷除，永無生老病死之眾苦；與彌陀同證無量壽命、無量光明、無量慈悲、無量智慧、無量神通、身心自在無礙之樂果。
Namo Amitabha!
