We should set a good Buddhist example for everyone to see.
我們應當做一個學佛的好榜樣給大家看 – 第29集
這個法門理、事都不可思議，理太深了，事太微妙了，無法想像。所以只有上上根人他能相信，為什麼？他一聞千悟，一聽他全明白。還有一種人，下下根人，雖然是下下根，他對這個道理並不懂，但是他老實、他聽話，他聽了他不懷疑，他就相信，而且他真幹。
The principle and reasoning of Pure Land Buddhism are inconceivable because its principle is too profound and its reasoning is too fine. That’s why only people with the highest capacity can believe it. Why is that so? Because they thoroughly understand the theory right after listening to it. Another type of people who can believe it are those of the lowest capacity. Even though they have inferior faculties and cannot grasp the principle, they are honest and obedient. So, they believe in the teachings without any doubt and will truly practise it.
真正相信有極樂世界，真正相信有阿彌陀佛，一點懷疑都沒有，真正發願求生極樂世界，教他念佛，這句佛號一天到晚都在念，他沒有休息的，把這句佛號抱緊，這種人往生極樂世界，跟上品上生的完全相同。
Since they truly believe in the existence of the Land of Ultimate Bliss and Amitabha Buddha without the slightest doubt, and truly vow to be reborn in that Land, they will hold on to Amitabha Buddha’s name and will chant it unceasingly all day long if we teach them to do so. This kind of people’s rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss will be exactly the same as those who are born in the upper level of the advanced grade.
所以下下根跟上上根，往生極樂世界統統是上品上生。我們要向他們看齊。海慶、海賢兩位大德，就是這樣為我們示現的。他們不認識字，沒念過書，一生沒有聽人講過經，他為什麼能成就？具足六個字，老實、聽話、真幹。
That’s why people with the highest and lowest capacities will be reborn in the upper level of the advanced grade in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. We must emulate them. This was what the two Great Masters i.e., Hai Qing and Hai Xian had demonstrated to us. Why were they able to succeed even though they were illiterate and had neither attended school nor listened to anyone’s Dharma lectures all their lives? Because they were honest, obedient and truly practising.
他出家他的剃度師就教他這一句南無阿彌陀佛，教他一直念下去。你看他老老實實念了九十二年，心裡只有阿彌陀佛，除阿彌陀佛之外什麼都沒有。他有沒有開悟？開悟了，我能夠看得出來，雖然我沒有見面，我看他的光碟，不是開悟的人做不到。
When Great Master Hai Xian was ordained as a monk, his tonsuring master only taught him to chant ‘Namo Amituofo’ incessantly. You see, he had honestly chanted Amitabha Buddha’s name for 92 years. Other than Amitabha Buddha’s name, he never retained anything else in his mind. Was he enlightened? Yes, he was. I can infer it from his video even though we had never met because an unenlightened person would not have such accomplishment.
確確實實他這麼長的壽命，不一定是他自己的，是阿彌陀佛加持他的。阿彌陀佛給他的任務，為這個地區、為這個時代表法，做一個學佛的好榜樣給大家看，學佛都應當向他學習。一生不求名、不求利，什麼都不求，自己每天勤苦勞作，自食其力，真正不可思議。這是我們的榜樣，我們應當向他學習。
In fact, his long life may not necessarily be his originally destined lifespan. Amitabha Buddha must have blessed him with that long life. Amitabha Buddha had entrusted him with the mission of setting a good Buddhist example for everyone in this region and era to see, so that all Buddhists can emulate him. It is really incredible that he never pursued fame and profits all his life, but had been working hard every day to support himself. He is indeed our role model and we should learn from him.
