一味用真心跟佛就相應 – 第21集
If you use the true mind conscientiously, you will correspond with Amitabha Buddha.
「故知此介爾能念之心，即是如來果覺」。這一段是教我們用什麼心去念佛，引申的意思，用什麼心來過日子，用什麼樣的心來工作，用什麼樣的心來待人接物。你要是用真心，跟佛就相應。一味用真心，用成習慣了，沒有一個人不相信你，沒有一個人不尊重你，沒有一個人不讚歎你。你真誠，你不欺騙別人，別人欺騙我我也不欺騙他，別人傷害我我也不傷害他。
“We should thus know that this extremely subtle mind that can chant Amitabha Buddha’s name is the Tathagatas’ realisation of enlightenment.” This phrase teaches us what kind of mind we should use to chant Amitabha Buddha’s name. It can be extended to mean what frame of mind we should apply in our daily life, at work and when dealing with people and matters. If you conscientiously use the true mind and make it habitual, you will correspond with Amitabha Buddha, and no one will not trust you, respect and praise you. Being sincere, you will not deceive or harm others even if they treat you otherwise.
真心是善心，純淨純善。妄心是惡心，是不善的，自私自利，起心動念損人利己，這是搞六道輪迴，六道輪迴裡頭搞三惡道的。為什麼？他心不善。處處想著如何利益人、如何幫助人、如何成就人，這是善心，善心生三善道。
True mind is a purely wholesome mind. Deluded mind is an evil, unwholesome and selfish mind whereby one’s thoughts are always on taking advantage of others for personal gain. The karmic consequence of having such thoughts is transmigration within the Three Evil Realms (i.e., the realms of hells, hungry ghosts and animals). Why is that so? Because their mind is unwholesome. Conversely, if we always think of ways to benefit others and help them succeed in their endeavour, such thoughts are wholesome and will result in rebirth in the Three Good Realms (i.e., the realms of heavens, human beings and asuras).
我們斷惡修善，不把斷惡修善放在心上，心上只放阿彌陀佛，只念這一句阿彌陀佛就對了，完全正確。用阿彌陀佛的心處事待人接物，沒有不生極樂世界的道理！會像瑩珂一樣，瑩珂一念回轉用真心了，感佛來應，見到佛，三天往生。這是他自己甘心情願的，他還有十年壽命不要了，這是智慧，智慧的選擇。
When we cease wrongdoings and practise virtues, we should not imprint them on our minds. We should only be mindful of Amitabha Buddha and retain his name in our mind. We are then on the right track. If we use the mind of Amitabha Buddha to deal with people, matters and things, there is no reason we will not be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss! We will be like Venerable Ying Ke, who managed to generate a response from Amitabha Buddha, who came to take him to the Pure Land in three days after he turned around and used the true mind. He had willingly chosen to leave for the Pure Land early and did not want his 10-year lifespan. It was a wise decision made.
