Q and A about Practicing Amitabha-Recitation
Part Two - Rebirth through Amitabha-Recitation
第二部分 有關念佛往生
Question 27:
I am old, and my time for reciting the Buddha’s name is short. Can I still be
Reborn? (continued)
Answer:
Yes, you can. As said in the passage of the low tier in the Contemplation Sutra, an aspirant can be reborn if he recites only ten times, or even one time, before he dies. Who recites the Buddha’s Name less than this? In the Third Collection of Amitabha-Recitation Accounts, Ms. Wang recited for 7 days, (P. 178), Mr. Wu recited for 6 days (P.215), Mrs. Lo recited 4 days (P.297) and Mr. Zhou recites only 3 days (P.330). All of them were reborn. What better evidence would we need?
27問:我年齡已大,念佛時間短,能往生嗎?
答:能!《觀經》下品命終前只念十聲、一聲都往生,還有誰念佛比這時間更短呢?《念佛感應錄》第三集第178頁王淑珍念佛七天、第215頁胡老漢念佛六天、第297頁羅婆婆念佛四天、第330頁周廣大念佛三天,命終通通往生,都可以證明。
Namo Amituofo!
