佛心所念就是幫助眾生成佛 – 第59集
What all buddhas have in mind is helping sentient beings become buddhas.
「花開見佛，悟入無生，奇妙疾捷，莫過於是。一切眾生由此得度，十方如來乃稱本懷。」
The annotation states, “When the lotus flower opens, one will see Amitabha Buddha and attain the endurance based on the non-arising of phenomena. With regard to achieving Buddhahood, no method surpasses the Buddha-name chanting (to be reborn in the Pure Land) in terms of marvellousness and swiftness. All sentient beings will thus attain liberation. This is the original intention of the Tathāgatas of the ten directions.”
末後兩句說得好，到極樂世界，蓮花化生，花開見佛，悟無生法忍，這就是阿惟越致菩薩。凡聖同居土下下品往生，花開見佛也是悟無生法忍，怎麼悟的？
This phrase is well said: ‘when one reaches the Land of Ultimate Bliss, one will be born through transformation within a lotus and when the lotus flower opens, one will see Amitabha Buddha and attain the endurance based on the non-arising of phenomena.’ This is the state of an avaivartika bodhisattva. Even if you are born in the lower level of the basic grade in the Land where Sages and Ordinary beings Dwell Together, you will also see Amitabha Buddha and attain this endurance when the lotus flower opens. How do you attain it?
阿彌陀佛四十八願加持你悟得的。這個法門是他力法門，全靠阿彌陀佛，對阿彌陀佛念念有感恩的心，不是阿彌陀佛我們出不了六道輪迴，不是阿彌陀佛我們生不了淨土，我們生到淨土也不可能證得阿惟越致菩薩。
It is owing to the support of Amitabha Buddha’s Forty-eight Vows. This is an other-power approach whereby the practitioners rely entirely on Amitabha Buddha. That’s why we are always grateful to Amitabha Buddha because without him, we would not be able to escape from the Six Realms of reincarnation and be reborn in the Pure Land. Even if we can be reborn in the Pure Land, it is also impossible that we can become an avaivartika bodhisattva.
全靠阿彌陀佛，大慈大悲，大願大德，幫助我們成就。奇妙，這個方法八萬四千法門裡沒有，無量法門裡頭也沒有，奇妙。疾捷是快速，一生圓滿成就。莫過於是，談奇妙、談快速沒有超過念佛往生淨土的，沒有超過。一切眾生由此得度。
We depend entirely on Amitabha Buddha’s great compassion and great mercy, as well as his great vows and great virtues to help us succeed in our cultivation. This method is marvellous because there is no other such method among the 84,000 or infinite Dharma methods. Its achievement is fast because one can perfectly attain Buddhahood within one lifetime. As the annotation states, “With regard to achieving Buddhahood, no method surpasses the Buddha-name chanting (to be reborn in the Pure Land) in terms of marvellousness and swiftness. All sentient beings will thus attain liberation.”
男女老少、賢愚不肖，上中下三根，遇到這個法門統統得度，平等得度。十方如來稱本懷，本懷，他心裡所念的，佛心所念就是幫助眾生成佛，沒有一尊佛不如是說。
Everyone who encounters this Dharma method will equally attain liberation regardless of their gender, age, intelligence and capacity. “This is the original intention of the Tathāgatas of the ten directions.” What all buddhas have in mind is helping sentient beings become buddhas. None of the buddhas does not have such thought.
