最後往生的時候念十聲佛號是怎麼念的 - 第85集
For people who chanted 'Amituofo' 10 times in their last moment, how did they do it?
蕅益大師說得最好，能不能往生，決定在信、願之有無，真有信、真有願，往生的條件就具足了；品位高下，生到極樂世界什麼品位，這是念佛功夫的淺深。所以往生極樂世界，一定要信願持名。念佛的功夫深，深在什麼地方？
Great Master Ou Yi put it most aptly, “Whether or not one will achieve rebirth in the Pure Land depends entirely on the presence or absence of one’s belief and vow.” If one really has belief and vow, one has met the condition for rebirth in the Pure Land. “The grade of rebirth (in the Pure Land) depends on one’s effort of practising Buddha Mindfulness.” That’s why one must chant Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. What does 'a deep effort of practising Buddha Mindfulness' refers to?
他沒有說念佛多少，念佛多少沒說，一念、十念，如果功夫深，都能到上上品往生。一生沒念過佛，最後往生的時候念十聲，他上上品往生，這怎麼念的？深心，什麼叫深？
The Great Master did not say the number of Buddha-name recitation. Hence, if one’s effort of practice is deep, one can still be reborn in the upper level of the advanced grade even if one only recites Amitabha Buddha’s name one to ten times during the final moment of one’s life. For people who never practised Buddha Mindfulness all their life, but were reborn in the upper level of the advanced grade by being mindful of Amitabha Buddha’s name in ten successive thoughts during their final moment of life, how did they chant Amitabha Buddha’s name? They chanted Amitabha Buddha’s name with a deep mind. What is called ‘deep mind’?
清淨心深，平等心更深，覺最深。用清淨平等覺念，上上品；用平等心念，上輩，上中品、上下品；用清淨心念，生方便有餘土，中輩往生，中上品、中中品、中下品。功夫成片往生，這是我們一般人都做得到的。
A pure mind is deep, while an impartial mind is deeper, and an enlightened mind is the deepest. By chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name with a pure, impartial and enlightened mind, one will be reborn in the upper level of the advanced grade. People who chant Amitabha Buddha’s name with an impartial mind will be reborn in the middle and lower level of the advanced grade, while those who chant with a pure mind will be reborn in the upper, middle and lower level of the intermediate grade in the Land of Skilful Means with Remainder. Most of us can achieve Constant Mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha and be reborn in the Pure Land.
