It is a great and terrible mistake if we do not seek rebirth in the Pure Land
我們不發願生淨土就大錯特錯了 - 第131集
現在是末法時期，末法已經過了一千年，第二個一千年的開始。濁惡彌深，濁是染污，嚴重的染污，惡是造惡業，十惡。我們冷靜去觀察這個世界，殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、綺語、惡口、貪瞋痴慢，這個地球上到處都是，所以帶來嚴重的災難。
Now is the beginning of the second millennium of the Dharma Ending Age as one thousand years had passed. “Sentient beings in the Dharma Ending Age are seriously defiled and have been committing the Ten Evil karmas.” If we calmly observe the world, we will see that killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, divisive speech, enticing speech, abusive speech, greed, anger, ignorance and arrogance are everywhere on this earth. These unwholesome acts, speech and thoughts then bring about serious disasters.
確實像念老所說的，「惡浪滔天，毒焰遍地」，這八個字就是大災難出現的時候。在這時候，「世尊垂慈，仍特留此法，以作慈航，以降甘露。佛恩深重，粉身難報」。
It is exactly what Upasaka Huang said, “The waves of evil are leaping up the sky and toxic flames are everywhere on earth” -- this phrase depicts the occurrence of a great disaster. At this time, “The World Honoured One compassionately expounded the Pure Land Dharma and specifically let it remain in the world to act as a saviour boat and sweet dew to end the sufferings of sentient beings. We are deeply indebted to the Buddha’s profound kindness, which is extremely difficult to repay by any means.”
信願持名，往生淨土，親近彌陀，這才報佛恩。四恩總報，報佛恩，報父母祖宗之恩，報國家之恩，報眾生恩，全報了，我們要明白，要不發願生淨土就大錯特錯了。
Only by practising Buddha Mindfulness with belief and vow and attaining rebirth in the Pure Land to get close to Amitabha Buddha can we repay the Buddha’s kindness. In short, we can repay all the four kindnesses, namely, the kindness of buddhas, as well as the kindness of our parents, ancestors, country and all sentient beings. We must understand that it is a great and terrible mistake if we do not seek rebirth in the Pure Land.
