往生極樂世界就真正報了佛恩 - 第253集
Being reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss is really repaying the Buddha’s kindness.
賢公老和尚常常教人，時時刻刻提醒人，念佛往生成佛是大事，其他的都是假的，沒有一樣是真的，跟《行願品》上這一段經文上所說的完全相同，沒有一樣是真的。你的身體是假的，臨命終時諸根散壞，眼不能見了，耳不能聽了，鼻不能呼吸，口不能說話，身體不能動，這叫散壞。
Great Master Hai Xian often taught and reminded people that chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name and reborning in the Pure Land to become a buddha is a great matter while other matters are illusory. This is exactly the same as what is mentioned in this paragraph in the Chapter on the Great Vows of Samantabhadra i.e., nothing is real. Your physical body is illusory because in your final moment of life, all your organs will stop functioning i.e., your eyes, ears, nose, mouth and body cannot see, hear, breathe, talk and move anymore.
你的家親眷屬不能跟你走，你的一切地位、權勢、財富，一樣帶不走。在這個時候，只有普賢菩薩十大願王，你要是修這個，這個願王不相捨離，它引導你往生極樂世界。到極樂世界，因為你是上輩往生，到那邊你就見阿彌陀佛，到那邊你就可以證到七地菩薩，花開見佛悟無生，你就能到七地，這麼高的地位。
Your family members and relatives cannot leave this world with you, neither can you take all your status, power and wealth with you. At this time, if you have been practising the Ten Great Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, these great vows will never leave you and will lead you to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Because you will be reborn in the advanced grade, you will see Amitabha Buddha when the lotus flower opens and become enlightened to the non-arising of phenomena once you reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss. You can thus attain the seventh ground stage of bodhisattva practice there. You can reach such a high status.
念佛法門無比殊勝，我們這一生遇到了，我們報佛恩，真正往生就真正報了佛恩。身體還在此地，我們護持正法，盡心盡力幫助正法長住世間。
The Buddha-name chanting method is incomparably exceptional. Now that we have encountered it in this life, being reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss is really repaying the Buddha’s kindness. While our body is still here, we must make every effort to protect and support the True Dharma so that it can live in the world forever.
