Chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name enables one to realize true emptiness by means of nominal existence
持名念佛入有得空 - 第110集
「持名念佛，入有得空」。我們下手是有心有念，也就是說有起心動念、有分別執著，心裡頭專想西方極樂世界，專想阿彌陀佛，想生到極樂世界，想親近阿彌陀佛，可是沒有想到這一句佛號念到純熟的時候，居然跟大乘經上佛說的境界完全相應了，得空了。
“Chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name enables one to realize true emptiness by means of nominal existence.” We begin with having intentions and thoughts; that’s to say, we have thoughts, discrimination and attachments, but our mind only thinks about the Land of Ultimate Bliss and Amitabha Buddha as we only want to be born in that Land and be close to Amitabha Buddha. However, we did not expect that the emptiness realized by us when our recitation of Amitabha Buddha’s name is well-accomplished, actually corresponds exactly with the state described by the Buddha in the Mahayana sutras.
有是假有，空是真空，空是什麼？自性。自性非物質、非精神，也非自然，所以叫它做空。有是這一句佛號，信願持名是有，得空是見性，明心見性。
The existence is ‘nominal existence’, while the emptiness is ‘true emptiness.’ What is emptiness? It is the true nature which is neither a physical, mental nor natural phenomenon. That’s why it is called ‘emptiness’. This Amitabha Buddha’s name is ‘nominal existence’, so is reciting Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow. Realizing emptiness is ‘seeing into the mind and true nature.’
所以「潛通佛智，暗合道妙」，沒有學經教，沒有學參禪，但是他得的境界，跟教下、跟禪宗最高的境界完全相同。
That’s why “this is a marvellous path to Buddhahood because it enables one to acquire the wisdom (cognition) of the Buddha” -- one attains exactly the same state as the highest state attained by practitioners of the sutra-study and Zen schools even though one did not study the Buddhist sutras and practise meditative concentration (Skt. Dhyana).
