慧淨上人法語
機法深信

(continued)

When we deeply feel the sorrow and pain of “without hope to leave the cycle of rebirth”, it is so severe that exceeds all kinds of pain in the world--even anguished wailing on the ground cannot reveal the grief of having no hope to leave the cycle of rebirth. Such kind of sorrow and pain reaches its peak, and is unspeakable.

If a Buddhist cannot realize that he doesn’t have the karma of leaving the cycle of rebirth and has no hope for emancipation, it will be very difficult for him to rely entirely on the teaching of Amitabha’s deliverance.

當我們深深地觸到「無有出離之緣」的悲和痛，那超越了世間任何的痛苦，即使匍伏在地上哀嚎，都沒法顯露那種無有出離之緣的悲痛，那種悲痛是無法形容的，是達到頂點的。

一個學佛者，如果無法體會到本身沒有出離之緣、沒有解脫希望的話，那麼他很難依靠彌陀救度的法門。

Namo Amitabha!
