第210集 — 今天我們很幸運遇到特別通道

今天我們很幸運，遇到的是特別通道，易行道，是捷徑，這就是淨土法門。佛告訴我們，淨土法門只有一個，沒有第二個，八萬四千法門只有這一門，無量法門也只有這一門。這一門很容易成就，但是很難相信。能信的，真正能相信，這一生沒有一個不成就。

We are very fortunate to have encountered a special Dharma method today. This shortcut, easy-to-cultivate method is Pure Land Buddhism. The Buddha told us that among the 84,000 and immeasurable Dharma methods, there is only one Pure Land method. It is very easy to succeed in practising this method, but it is very difficult for one to believe in it. If one can truly believe in it, no one will not succeed in this life.

有懷疑的修這個法門，這一生最後還是搞六道輪迴。為什麼？他有懷疑。所以覺明妙行菩薩告訴我們，修這個法門要具足三個條件：第一個條件不懷疑，第二個條件不夾雜，第三個條件不間斷。具足這三個條件，萬修萬人去。

Practitioners who have doubts in this Dharma method will still have to reincarnate in the Six Realms at the end of this life. What is the reason? Because they have doubts. That’s why Jueming Miaoxing Bodhisattva told us that one must meet three conditions when one practises this Dharma method. The first, second and third condition are having no doubts, no distractions and no interruptions respectively. If these three conditions are met, then out of ten thousand people practising Buddha Mindfulness, ten thousand will be reborn in the Pure Land.

我們就知道了，念佛不能往生，不具足這三個條件。第一個有懷疑；第二個有夾雜，念佛裡頭還有妄念；第三個有間斷，念佛不能相續。有這三個現象，自己要特別提高警覺，這絕對不是開玩笑的，這三個障礙你往生極樂世界，它又把你拉回來還是搞六道輪迴，那就太可惜了！

We thus know that those who failed to attain rebirth in the Pure Land did not meet these three conditions. Firstly, they had doubts; secondly, they had distractions (i.e., they still had wandering thoughts in their chanting) and thirdly, they had interruptions (i.e., they cannot chant Amitabha Buddha’s name incessantly). You must be especially vigilant if you have these three phenomena. This is definitely no joke because they will hinder you from being reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss by pulling you back again to the Six Realms of reincarnation. This is a great pity and a great waste!
