如何做到往生極樂世界可以隨意 - 第13集

真正學習不要著急,不要想我趕快出來講經,不必,開悟之後再出來,你的心是定的。凡是到開悟這個時候,往生極樂世界可以隨意,我想什麼時候去就什麼時候去,一點不礙事。

There is no need to hurry when it comes to real learning. Do not think of coming out to give Dharma lectures to the public as soon as possible. You should only give the lecture after being enlightened because your mind will then be in samadhi (i.e., stillness). Anyone who is enlightened can freely go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss without any hindrance.

這種人對這個世間沒有任何牽掛,所以他隨時可以走得了,想去就去,願意多住幾年也不妨礙,生死自在。同學們可以做實驗,給淨宗同學做一個表法,十年時間。這是自性的智慧開了。現在為什麼不開?

This kind of person has not the least attachment to this world, so he can leave anytime as he desires. There is no hindrance either if he is willing to live for a few more years since he has attained the freedom of birth and death. You can spend ten years to do this experiment and set an example for the Pure Land practitioners. Your innate wisdom would have been uncovered by then. Why is your wisdom not uncovered now?

現在你心不定,你有妄想、你有雜念。用這個方法,海賢老和尚是用念佛的方法,我們可以用讀經的方法,十年專讀這部經。不要求解,只念經,不要念註解,用經本的原文你去念十年。

Because you have wandering and distracting thoughts, your mind is unsettled now. Great Master Hai Xian used the Buddha-name chanting method to uncover his wisdom. We can use the method of sutra recitation by focusing on reciting this sutra for ten years. During this period, do not seek to understand the meanings, neither should you recite Upasaka Huang’s annotation on this sutra. You just have to concentrate on reciting the original texts of this sutra for ten years.

十年之後你再看黃念祖老居士的註解,一絲毫障礙都沒有,沒有一句你不懂,自自然然全部通達了。然後你看淨土群經,或者看《大藏經》,沒有一點障礙。

Ten years later, when you read Upasaka Huang’s annotation, you will have no obstacles at all. There is not a phrase in the annotation that you cannot understand because you will naturally comprehend them all. Then, when you read the Pure Land canonical scriptures or the Great Buddhist Canon, you will have no barriers at all.
