淨宗傳承之第十八願
What does the 18th Vow contain? Three things: faith, Amitabha-recitation, and rebirth. “Sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me and desire to be born in my land” are faith; “call my Name, even ten times” is Amitabha-recitation; and “should they not be born there, may I not attain perfect Enlightenment” is rebirth. Amitabha Buddha has already become a Buddha. So, as long as we believe in Amitabha’s deliverance, aspire to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, and recite Amitabha’s Name, we are assured of attaining rebirth.
第十八願講什麼？講三件事情：信心、念佛、往生。
「至心信樂，欲生我國」是信心，「乃至十念」是念佛，「若不生者，不取正覺」是往生。現在阿彌陀佛已經成佛了，我們只要信彌陀的救度，願生極樂而念佛，就必定往生。
Namo Amituofo!
