What are the secrets of those who went to the Pure Land at will?
自在往生的人他們的祕訣是什麼 – 第69集
這些念佛往生自自在在走的好像都是不認識字,他們具備的條件我們細心去觀察,就是老實、聽話、真幹,這就是這些念佛成就的人、自在往生的人他們的祕訣。當然,具備這個條件最重要一個關口是徹底放下,對這個世界沒有絲毫留戀,這才行。
It seems that those who practised Buddha Mindfulness and went to the Pure Land at will were illiterate. If we observe carefully, the conditions that they possessed are honesty, obedience and truly practising. These are the secrets of those who practised Buddha Mindfulness and went to the Pure Land at will. Of course, the most important requirement to meet these conditions is to completely let go (i.e., without the slightest psychological attachment to this world). Only then can one attain rebirth in the Pure Land.
如果有絲毫留戀,還有牽掛,就去不了,如果是壽命到了,還是繼續搞六道輪迴。我們今天在這個光碟上看到,來佛小廟,農村看不起眼的小廟,三位大德念佛自在往生。第一個留了全身舍利,供養在這個小廟裡頭。
If one still has the slightest attachment and concern, one will fail to be reborn there. It means that if one’s life is due to end, one will still continue to transmigrate within the Six Realms. We saw in the Vcd today three great practitioners at Lai Fo Si (a small temple in the countryside which people looked down upon) who practised Buddha-name chanting and went to the Pure Land at will. The first person left behind a whole relic-body which is currently being enshrined in this small temple.
第二位,賢公老和尚的母親,八十六歲走的,八年之後,老和尚想給她改葬,挖開墓穴,屍體沒有了,不見了,棺材裡頭只留幾根釘子,釘棺材的釘子。老和尚往生到現在一年了,他是二0一三年一月往生的,老和尚將來是不是留舍利還是全身舍利,現在沒有開缸不知道。
The second person was Great Master Hai Xian’s mother who went to the Pure Land when she was 86 years old. Eight years after her passing, the Great Master wanted to rebury her. After her grave was dug up, her body was nowhere to be found but only a few rusted nails were left in the coffin. It has been a year now since Great Master Hai Xian left for the Pure Land (he was reborn in the Pure Land in January 2013). We do not know if he would also leave behind relics or a whole relic-body in the future because we have yet to open his vat (i.e., coffin).
實在是了不起!就憑信願持名四個字,不可思議的成就,真正是末法時期念佛人的榜樣,往生到極樂世界去作佛去了,這一生真的沒有白來,圓滿功德。
Three of them are truly great! They had incredible achievements just by relying on chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow. They are truly the role models of Pure Land practitioners in the Dharma Ending Age. They really did not come to this world in vain because they had gone to the Pure Land to become buddhas and had thus accomplished perfect merits.
