Q and A about Practicing Amitabha-Recitation
Part Two - Rebirth through Amitabha-Recitation
第二部分 有關念佛往生
Question 26 - Do we need to recite the Buddha’s name with vigor?
Answer: One should recite with vigor according to one’s own capacity. Recite if you have time. Nourish Amitabha-recitation as a habit and practice it when you need to concentrate on doing something.
This is because, if we don’t recite the Buddha’s name, we will have many false and miscellaneous thoughts that induce more karmic obstructions. For these reasons, it is better to recite the Buddha’s name to reduce our karmic obstructions and increase our blessings.
26問:那麼就不必精進多念了?
答:各隨所能,應當精進。有空就念佛,不是特別用心用腦的事皆可念佛,養成念佛習慣。
因為人不念佛,必念妄想雜念,念妄想雜念即與業障感應,增加業障,不如念佛與佛感應,消業增福。
Namo Amituofo!
