慧淨上人法語
淨土信仰
(continued)
With faith in Pure Land, we believe Amitabha Buddha exists everywhere and at all times in the vast and abundant universe. However, if there were no Name, we would be unable to communicate with Amitabha. It is just like the electromagnetic waves that permeate everywhere and at all times. However, if there is no channel, no frequency, and no switch, we cannot get an online connection. So, it is said, “There is no Name if it separates from the body and there is no body if it separates from the Name”.
淨土信仰阿彌陀佛浩浩蕩蕩存在宇宙當中,無時不在、無處不在,可是若沒有這一句名號,我們就不能跟祂溝通,就好像電波無時不在、無處不在,若沒有管路、沒有頻道、沒有開關,則接不上線。所以說「體外無名,名外無體。」
Namo Amituofo!
