阿彌陀佛的加持是平等的 - 第91集
Amitabha Buddha gives equal support to everyone
「又《阿彌陀經》云：若有善男子、善女人，聞是經受持者」，聽到《阿彌陀經》，《無量壽經》叫《大阿彌陀經》，將《阿彌陀經》細說，這就是《無量壽經》。善根深厚的人看到《阿彌陀經》他就相信，他就嚮往，他真信真願，求生極樂世界。中下根雖然聽了這個經、讀了這個經，求生的願發不出來，那怎麼辦？
It is stated in the Amitabha Sutra, “If there are virtuous men and women who hear this sutra, accept and uphold it” --- ‘hearing this sutra’ refers to the Amitabha Sutra or the Infinite Life Sutra which is an elaboration of the Amitabha Sutra. Those with profound virtuous roots would develop true belief and really vow to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss when they encounter the Amitabha Sutra. However, people with modest and low capacities may have listened to and read this sutra (the Amitabha Sutra) but they cannot bring forth the vow to be reborn in that Land. What should they do?
《無量壽經》。《無量壽經》說得詳細，講得清楚、講得明白，聽了之後自自然然就會發心。「及聞諸佛名者」，這前面跟諸位報告過，諸佛名就是阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛就是諸佛名。「是諸善男子、善女人，皆為一切諸佛之所護念」，這個利益無量無邊。「又念佛之人有四十里光明燭身，魔不能犯」。
They should read the Infinite Life Sutra because this sutra illustrates the Land of Ultimate Bliss, as well as the principle and method of cultivation in detail. By having a clear understanding, one would naturally vow to be reborn in that Land after listening to this sutra. “And also hear the names of all buddhas” --- we have mentioned earlier that all buddhas’ names are Amitabha Buddha and vice versa. “These virtuous men and women will be mindfully supported and protected by all buddhas” --- this benefit is infinite and boundless. “That’s why Pure Land practitioners have lights emitting within a forty-mile radius from their body, so demons cannot disturb them.”
這是阿彌陀佛本願威神的加持，佛的加持是平等的，問題就是我們願不願意接受，真信真願就接受了。如果我們接受了，但是還有疑惑，在這種情形之下，如果你業障習氣很重，魔還是能侵犯你；你能夠勇猛精進，心無雜念，魔就不能侵犯你。魔從妄想生的，從雜念生的，所以念佛人沒有雜念、沒有妄想，魔就不能侵犯你了。
This is the awe-inspiring majestic support of Amitabha Buddha’s original vows. Amitabha Buddha gives equal support to everyone. The problem is, are we willing to accept Amitabha Buddha’s support? If we have true belief and true vow, it means we have accepted his support. What if we have accepted his support but are still doubtful? In this situation, if you have very serious karmic obstacles and habituated tendencies, demons can still find a way to disturb you. If you could practise diligently and intrepidly without distracting thoughts, then demons would have no way to disturb you. Since demons arise from wandering and distracting thoughts, they would not be able to disturb Pure Land practitioners who have no such thoughts.
