Common Knowledge in Pure Land Teaching
淨土小常識
The Six-Character Name is Like a Mani Pearl (continued)
It doesn’t matter whether it is day or night, or if you know or don’t know, when the Mani Pearl is placed in your heart, your offenses will be extinguished and your mind will become more pure with every single recitation. It is a natural progression that requires no deliberation, because of the power of the Mani Pearl that is Amitabha’s Name.
Thus, by mere faith and acceptance of Amitabha’s deliverance, exclusive recitation of his name and aspiration to be reborn in his Pure Land, our offenses will be extinguished and our minds will become more pure with every single recitation.
That means, all of our unwholesome karma(such as the Five Gravest Offenses) can be extinguished immediately, so that we can be blessed with real and pure faith, and attain rebirth instantly.

六字名號如摩尼寶珠
摩尼寶珠放到眾生心中，不管白天還是晚上，你知道也好，不知道也好，念念之中，罪滅心淨，這是無作意的、自然的，因為是靠名號寶珠的力量。
所以只要信受彌陀救度，專稱彌陀佛名，願生彌陀淨土，念念之中都在滅罪，罪滅心淨。
即便深重如五逆十惡等諸不善業，當下都能滅除，讓我們能夠產生真實的清淨信心，即得往生。
Namo Amituofo!
