第74集 — 如何同時聽一切佛說法

「生彼國已」，生到極樂世界。「見佛聞法」，不但見阿彌陀佛，同時見十方一切諸佛如來，不但聽阿彌陀佛說法，同時聽一切佛說法。「得無上悟」，無上悟就是我們常說的，大徹大悟，明心見性，智慧、神通、道力跟佛一樣。

“After being born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, one will see all buddhas and get to listen to their Dharma lectures” -- not only will we see Amitabha Buddha, but we will simultaneously see all buddhas of the ten directions; not only can we listen to Amitabha Buddha giving the Dharma lectures, but we can also simultaneously listen to all buddhas teaching the Dharma. “One will attain Supreme Enlightenment” -- Supreme Enlightenment is what we often say, seeing into the mind and true nature, whereby one’s wisdom and power of supernatural abilities are the same as that of the Buddha.

跟哪一尊佛？就是跟阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛的弟子當然跟阿彌陀佛相同。「由有念而入無念」，在沒有往生之前有念，往生到極樂世界就證得無念。「因往生而契無生」，沒有往生之前有生死、有輪迴，往生到極樂世界，生死輪迴了了、沒有了，那個世界不生不滅。

Same as which buddha? Of course, same as Amitabha Buddha because we are his students. “From presence-of-thought, one attains absence-of-thought” -- before we are reborn in the Pure Land, we have thoughts, but once we are born there, we attain absence-of-thought. “Owing to being born in the Pure Land, one attains no-rebirth (nirvana)” -- prior to being born in the Pure Land, we are subject to reincarnation. Once we are born in the Pure Land, we have ended reincarnation because that Land neither arises nor ceases.

「頓悟此心，本來平等」，這就是本經的經題，清淨平等覺。清淨平等覺是誰？就是阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛有一個別號叫清淨平等覺。所以說此心即是阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛就是此心。

“This mind which attains sudden enlightenment is originally impartial” -- this is exactly the title of this sutra i.e., purity, impartiality and enlightenment. ‘Purity, impartiality and enlightenment’ refers to who? It refers to Amitabha Buddha, who has an epithet called ‘purity, impartiality and enlightenment.’ That’s why it is said: ‘this mind is Amitabha Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha is this mind.’
