The Land of Ultimate Bliss is so wonderful that we cannot believe it
極樂世界殊勝到我們不敢相信 - 第176集
蕅益大師說得非常好，他老人家給我們表法，同居土下下品往生就很滿意了，這句話說得好。他是不是下下品往生？對於極樂世界的品位也不爭了，真的「法尚應捨，何況非法」。極樂世界的品位都不爭了，還會跟這個世間人爭名利嗎？
Great Master Ou Yi said it very well. He had set an example for us, telling us that he would be very satisfied as long as he could be reborn in the lower level of the basic grade in the Land where Sages and Ordinary beings Dwell Together. Was he really reborn in the lower level of the basic grade? Well, it implies that he did not fight for the grade of rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Indeed, as the Diamond Sutra states, “Even the Dharma should be cast aside, let alone the non-Dharma!” Would he still compete for fame and profits with the people of this world if he did not compete for the grade of rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss?
決定不可能。只一味老老實實，往生到極樂世界，四十八願是保證。讀了四十八願就知道果報無比的殊勝，太殊勝了，殊勝到我們不敢相信。但是我們要知道，釋迦、彌陀決定沒有一句妄語，全是實實在在，我們能信得過，這就是有福報。
Definitely impossible! We just have to practise Buddha Mindfulness honestly and we will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The Forty-eight Vows are our assurance. After reading the Forty-eight Vows, we know the rewards of the Land of Ultimate Bliss are incomparably wonderful. They are so wonderful that we cannot believe them, but we must know that Sakyamuni Buddha and Amitabha Buddha never told a single lie. All their words are true. Being able to believe what they said means we have good fortune.
