上人法語
淨土信仰
All Buddhas appear in their worlds, not just to ask sentient beings to refrain from evil and perform good deeds, in order for them to be reborn in the realm of heaven or the human realm. Whether we are reborn in the realm of heaven or the human realm, we will eventually fall into the Three Wretched Realms once our karmic rewards are spent. So, all Buddhas appear in their worlds in order to ask sentient beings to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, attain Enlightenment, and with compassionate vows return to deliver sentient beings comprehensively. Thus, if we practice the Pure Land teaching exclusively and can teach others to practice the Pure Land teaching, it corresponds to the original intent of all Buddhas appearing in all worlds.
諸佛出世,不是要我們只是去惡行善,以期能出生在天上或人間,因為不論是出生在天上或人間,福報都只是一剎那之間就享盡了,之後又會再墮落三惡道;所以諸佛出世是要我們往生極樂世界,具足菩提,然後倒駕慈航來廣度眾生。因此若我們教導別人學淨土法門,或者我們自己專修淨土法門,這樣就跟佛出世的本懷相應了。
Namo Amituofo!
