慧淨上人法語
佛法知見

The soul (or atman in Sanskrit, a metaphysical self) after death is very sensitive, much more sensitive than before his death. Because the soul after death has been detached from the body and is no longer confined in the body, one can exercise the power and functions of his soul. If a person was handicapped when he was alive, after his soul is free from the body, he can immediately recover the whole body; if he was a person with visual, hearing, or spech impairement,  he can now see, hear and speak, and know another person’s ideas in mind. Moreover, he can also go to any place immediately according to his own wish or thought:  if he is thinking of a person or an object in mind, that person or object will appear immediately; no matter who is thinking of him or calling him in whatever place, he can instantly know, hear and see the person, whether he is far away or in the vicinity.

人死後的神識非常靈敏，尤勝生前。由於人死後神識已經脫離肉體，不再受肉體所限，故能發揮神識的功能力用。譬如生時為殘障者，其神識脫離肉體之後，立即恢復完整形體，盲聾喑啞，可以見聞說話，並知道他人的起心動念。亦可依自己心念立即前往任何地方；心念何人何物，何人何物立即現前；無論何人何處想念他、呼喚他，不論距離遠近，他也都能即刻知道聽到看到。

Namo Amitabha!
