There is a skilful way to learn THE INFINITE LIFE SUTRA.
學無量壽經有一個巧方法 – 第12集
學《無量壽經》還有一個巧方法,但是不能有懷疑。每天讀經、念佛,讀經的時間不要定遍數,定時間,十個小時。十個小時能念多少遍不拘,用真誠心、用清淨心、用恭敬心,每天讀十個小時。
There is one more skilful way to learn the Infinite Life Sutra, but you must not have any doubt. When you recite the sutra and chant Amitabha Buddha’s name every day, do not fix the number of recitations, but set the recitation time to ten hours instead. It does not matter how many recitations you can achieve in ten hours; reciting the sutra with a sincere, pure and respectful mind is the key.
起初開始讀的時候大概讀一遍要兩個小時,三個月之後大概念一遍一個半小時可以了,半年之後就一個小時,一年之後大概只要四十分鐘,為什麼?念熟了。要念滿十個小時,一直念下去,什麼意思不管它,每一個字念得很正確,沒有念錯、沒有念漏掉。
At the beginning, you may take about two hours to recite the whole sutra once. After three months, you may take about one and a half hour to recite it once. Half a year later, you can finish it within one hour. One year later, you only need about forty minutes to recite the whole sutra. Why is that so? Because you have familiarized with the texts. You must keep reciting it for ten full hours, paying no regard to the meanings while making sure each word is correctly enunciated without any mistakes and omissions.
十年,你自自然然會講這個經,而且講得跟佛一樣。為什麼?這個方法把你的清淨心念出來、平等心念出來,這叫一心不亂,一心不亂生智慧,智慧自然通達,自然明瞭。十年之後,這部經你講的跟釋迦牟尼佛當年在世所說沒有兩樣。有沒有人願意試試看?
Ten years down the road, you will naturally be able to lecture on this sutra just like the Buddha did. Why is that so? Because this method has enabled your pure and impartial mind to appear, the state of One Mind Undisturbed. Since this undisturbed mind gives rise to wisdom, you will naturally comprehend the meaning in this sutra. Ten years later, your lecture on this sutra will be no different from that given by Sakyamuni Buddha when he was teaching in this world. Is there anyone who is willing to give it a try?
