慧淨上人法語
淨土宗宗風俗諦

If we are touched by Amitabha Buddha’s great kindness, compassion, and love, we will naturally forgive and tolerate others. (just like Amitabha forgives and tolerates us) At the same time, we will not be as stubborn as before, or wish for anything in return. We try our best to emulate Amitabha’s non- discriminatory compassion in his deliverance.

Though we are not sufficient in roots of virtues and blessing, we become rich in roots of virtues and blessings, seeking no notice at all. In our hearts we know, it is all Amitabha’s doing, and we feel it is the influence of Amitabha Buddha. It is the fermentation of the Buddha’s virtues – a chemical reaction that can transform our mind-nature naturally, and elevate our temperament. It can transform us into the best example of a true Buddhist.

我們感受阿彌陀佛的大慈悲、大愛心,自然就會包容別人,就像彌陀包容我們。同時不會像以前那樣,心非常剛強,凡事都要計較,因為我們體會阿彌陀佛救度我們是不跟我們計較的,我們自然跟眾生也不會計較。

雖然我們善根福德不夠,可是,無形中就會去增長善根福德,而在這當中,並不覺得自己是在累積善根福德,覺得這都是阿彌陀佛的感化,是阿彌陀佛的佛力、佛德在我們的心中發酵、產生作用,使我們自自然然心性轉變、氣質提昇,所做出來的就很像一個學佛者。

Namo Amituofo!
