Embrace and Transformation by the Name in the form of Light (continued)
This Name possesses the majestic and awe inspiring power of Amitabha Buddha’s merit and virtues. It enables us to easily reach our target of rebirth through recitation for this entire life, or even one or ten recitations near the end-of-life. It is because of the profound and weighty vows made by Amitabha Buddha.
We ought to know this Name is light, and the light is the Name. Amitabha Buddha enables us to attain benefits in the present and future life through his Name in the form of light, and thus to be delivered.
光號攝化
這句名號有阿彌陀佛的威神功德力量在裡面,使得我們上盡一形念佛也好,或者臨終才遇到這個法門、只念十聲一聲也好,都容易達到我們所求的目標,容易往生,因為阿彌陀佛的誓願深重。
故知,這句名號就是光明,光明本身也是名號。阿彌陀佛以這光明名號來救度我們,讓我們現當二益都能得到。
Namo Amituofo!
