Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings on Taking Refuge in Amitabha
皈命彌陀
The relationship between Amitabha Buddha and reciters is inseparable. Only those who do not recite Amitabha’s Name are separate from Amitabha Buddha. If you don’t recite Amitabha’s Name, you do not have the three kinds of relationships with Amitabha, nor do you have Amitabha’s embrace to form one entity of “aptitude” and “teaching”.
However, it does not mean that Amitabha Buddha will be separated from us when we do not recite his Name during sleep. Most people cannot recite Amitabha’s Name non-stop during the day. For instance, when we think, talk, or engage in complicated work, Name-recitation is bound to be interrupted.
念佛的人跟阿彌陀佛的關係是無間的,不念佛的人跟阿彌陀佛就間斷了,因為你不念佛,就沒有那三種緣,也沒有機法一體的關係,所以是有間斷的。
但這並不表示說,我們念佛人,睡覺的時候沒有念佛,那就跟阿彌陀佛有間斷了!而且, 大部份的人, 不可能白天無時不刻稱名念佛不斷, 比如思考動腦筋、與人談話、做複雜事情時,稱名就會間斷。

Namo Amituofo!
