念佛有一百種不同的果報 – 第39集
Pure Land practitioners are subject to one hundred different kinds of karmic consequence
我們知道應該要放下，佛教我們放下，可是我們怎麼樣？沒有放下，一樣都沒放下，起心動念沒放下，分別沒放下，執著沒放下，依舊還做六道生死凡夫。再能不能不放下？不能了，為什麼？我們年歲大了，在這個世間居住的時間愈來愈少，再不放下那就繼續搞六道輪迴。
We know that we should let go because the Buddha taught us to do so, but have we let go? No, we have not let go at all. We are still ordinary beings of the Six Realms of reincarnation because we have neither let go of thoughts nor discrimination and attachments. Can we continue to be like this? No, we can’t! What is the reason? Because we have grown old and the time left in this world is getting less and less. If we still do not let go, we are bound to revolve in the Six Realms of reincarnation.
如果肯放下，那就很幸運，我們決定往生極樂世界，就成佛了。不放下，不要以為我們是在學佛，不要以為我們自己在念佛，你看慈雲灌頂法師的《大勢至菩薩圓通章疏鈔》，是他著作的。
If we are willing to let go, then we are very fortunate because we will certainly be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss and become a buddha. Do not think that it is alright to not let go since we are already learning Buddhism and practising Buddha Mindfulness. The book, Commentaries on the Suramgama Sutra: the Chapter on Perfect Penetration Through Mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha was authored by Great Master Ci Yun Guan Ding.
他是清朝乾隆年代的人，佛門的大德，他說念佛有一百種不同的果報，第一條就是無間地獄。念佛人怎麼會墮無間地獄？我真正看不懂。我拿著這個書去向李老師請教，李老師一看到這個說這是大事，我不給你一個人講，講經的時候我要給大眾宣布，提高大家的警覺。
He was an eminent monk during Emperor Qianlong’s era in the Qing dynasty. According to the Great Master, Pure Land practitioners are subject to one hundred different kinds of karmic consequence, and the first one is retribution in the hell of unremitting pain (the Avici hell). How can Pure Land practitioners fall into the Avici hell? I was really puzzled when I read this, so I took this book to go and ask Teacher Li for advice. When Teacher Li saw this, he said, “This is a big issue! Instead of explaining to you alone, I want to announce to everyone during the Dharma lecture to raise their vigilance.”
為什麼念佛人墮無間地獄？古人有一句話說，「口念彌陀心散亂，喊破喉嚨也枉然」。口念心不念，口是假相，佛法重實質不重形式，不重假相。
Why do Pure Land practitioners fall into the Avici hell? The ancients had a saying, “Even if one chants Amitabha Buddha’s name until one’s throat hurts, one’s chanting is still futile if one chants with a distracting mind.” If one chants Amitabha Buddha’s name orally but not mentally, one may not reap the benefits of chanting because Buddhism emphasizes substance (true practice) rather than formality (oral recitation is a nominal appearance).
