There are three requisites in practising Buddha Mindfulness.
念佛有三要 – 第32集
念佛不能夾雜，這個話多少年來我們講多少遍。念佛有三要：第一個不能夾雜，第二個不能間斷，最好是日夜都不間斷，最後一個不能懷疑，它是真的，一點都不假。
I have mentioned many times over the years that we must not have distractions when we chant Amitabha Buddha’s name. There are three requisites in practising Buddha Mindfulness. First, you cannot have distractions while chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name; second, you cannot have interruptions while chanting (it is best to be uninterrupted day and night); lastly, you cannot harbour doubts while chanting. These requisites are true and not false at all.
真正守住不懷疑、不夾雜、不間斷，沒有一個不成功的，而且成功很快。我們從《淨土聖賢錄》、從《往生傳》裡面去看，再從我們現前念佛功夫，念佛到往生，我們會發現，三年成就的人很多。
By really holding on to ‘no doubt, no distraction and no interruption’, no one will not succeed in attaining rebirth in the Pure Land, and your achievement will be very fast. If we read the Records of the Pure Land Saints and Sages, the Biographical Accounts of Rebirth in the Pure Land as well as looking at the recent cases of rebirth in the Pure Land, we will discover that there were many people who succeeded within three years of practising Buddha Mindfulness.
三年一千天，古人說「讀書千遍，其義自見」，一千天就是三年，三年能夠專心，放下萬緣，肯定得三昧。得三昧的時候就決定往生，而且自在往生，想什麼時候去，什麼時候可以去，想多住幾年，不礙事。沒有壽命？沒有壽命阿彌陀佛會幫助你延壽。
Three years is equivalent to one thousand days. As the ancients said, “By reading a book for a thousand times, one is bound to attain spontaneous enlightenment.” A thousand days is equivalent to three years. If you can let go of all worldly matters to concentrate on chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name for three years, you are bound to attain Buddha Mindfulness Samadhi. With this achievement, your rebirth in the Pure Land is assured and you can go to the Pure Land at your own will. If you wish to remain in this world for a few more years, you can do so without any obstructions. If your life is due to end, Amitabha Buddha will help you prolong it.
