慧淨上人法語
佛法知見

People in general have a misconception that the reason for this evil person, who met a Dharma mentor prior to death and recited “Namo Amituofo” merely ten times, to be set free from the sufferings of being burned in hell, free from the endless cycle of reincarnation, and to acquire Buddhahood in his future life is due to his deep and solid virtuous root. Although we also recite Amitabha’s name now, our virtuous roots perhaps is not so good as his. Therefore, he can be reborn [in the Land of Bliss], while we may not be assured for rebirth.

一般人有一種錯誤的觀念，認為這個五逆十惡的人臨終能遇到善知識，只念十聲南無阿彌陀佛就脫離地獄之苦的燃燒，乃至脫離永世的輪迴，獲得往生成佛，是因為他宿善深厚；那我們現在念佛，恐怕宿善不如他，所以他能往生，我們不一定能往生。

Namo Amitabha!
