If you know suffering and happiness, you will be resolute to go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss
知道苦樂就會下定決心我要往生極樂世界 – 第71集
所以要知道苦樂，你就會下定決心，我要往生極樂世界。極樂世界的妙是真妙，跟我們這個世界完全不一樣。我們這個世界人身體是物質，所以必須要有飲食、要有養分。極樂世界身體不是物質，是法性變的，法性不需要飲食，你說省多少事情。
That’s why if you know suffering and happiness, you will be resolute to go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The marvellousness of the Land of Ultimate Bliss is real marvellousness. It is entirely different from our world. In our world, the human body is a substance, so it must be sustained by food and nutrients. The physical body in the Land of Ultimate Bliss is not a substance because it is transformed from the true nature, which need not be sustained by food. There is so much work saved!
法性清淨，永遠沒有染污，換句話說，在西方極樂世界不需要洗澡、不需要洗臉，為什麼？永遠乾淨，一塵不染，你說這個多自在，省多少事情。極樂世界居住的環境叫法性土，我們居住的叫法相不是法性，相有生有滅，性不生不滅。
The true nature is pure and never polluted. In other words, you do not need to bathe and wash your face in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Why is that so? Because its environment is always clean without the slightest pollution. There is so much freedom and so much work saved! The living environment in the Land of Ultimate Bliss is called ‘the land of the true nature’, while our living environment is called ‘the land of phenomenal characteristics’ and not of the true nature. Phenomenal characteristics are subject to arising and ceasing, while the true nature neither arises nor ceases.
所以到極樂世界的身體，人，人是無量壽，沒有生老病死，到那個世界花開見佛，現的身跟阿彌陀佛的身相完全一樣。
That’s why people who are born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss have infinite life and are not subject to birth, old age, sickness and death. When we reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss, we will see Amitabha Buddha when the lotus flower opens, and our manifested body will be exactly the same as Amitabha Buddha’s.
這個經裡頭介紹得非常清楚，我們看了真歡喜。這個身體累贅，它那邊身體微妙香潔，具足六種神通，自性本具的智慧德相統統顯示出來。
This is very clearly introduced in this sutra and we feel really happy when we read this. Our current body is a nuisance, but the body of the people in the Land of Ultimate Bliss is fine, fragrant and clean. They are complete with six kinds of spiritual power (supernatural abilities), and the wisdom, virtuous abilities and fine appearance innate to the true nature are all revealed.
