念佛人會不會遇到魔障 – 第78集
Will Pure Land practitioners encounter demonic obstacles (Mara-hindrance)?
念佛人會不會遇到魔障？會。念佛人對付魔障有一種方法，魔不能干擾，這個方法就是阿彌陀佛。我們真正發心念阿彌陀佛，聲聲佛號都得到阿彌陀佛的加持。我們要相信這是真的，這不是假的，二十五位菩薩加持念佛人，頭兩位菩薩，第一個觀世音，第二個大勢至。觀音、勢至帶頭，率領二十五位大菩薩日夜護持，不令魔障現前。
Will Pure Land practitioners encounter demonic obstacles? Yes, they will. There is one way to deal with this obstacle whereby demons cannot interfere. This method is chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name. If we really vow to chant Amitabha Buddha’s name, every of our recitations will receive Amitabha Buddha’s support. We must believe that this is true and not false. Pure Land practitioners are supported by twenty-five great bodhisattvas, with Avalokitêśvara Bodhisattva and Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva leading these bodhisattvas to protect and support them against demonic obstacles day and night.
問題我們真幹，只要我們自己有信、願、持名，就能得到感應。我們真信、真願，這個世間萬緣放下。如果對這個世間還有一點貪戀，還有一樁事情放不下，這就是「正見稍失」。
The problem is we must truly practise. As long as we chant Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow, we can receive a response from them. If we really believe and vow to be reborn in the Pure Land, we would have completely let go of all worldly matters. If we still have a little greedy attachment to this world, with even one more thing we cannot let go of, this is ‘having lost our proper view.’
信願持名是我們的標準正念，永遠放下妄想、分別、執著，如果有這東西存在，即入魔途，你就脫離不了魔掌。魔控制你，你想往上升，實際上魔在干擾，讓你墮落，你自己還不知道。
Chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name with belief and vow is our standard proper view. That’s why you must let go of wandering thoughts, discrimination and attachments completely. If these things are present, it means that you have entered the demonic path in an instant and will never be able to escape the control of demons. With the demons taking control of you (in fact, they are interfering with you), they cause you to degenerate even though you wish to improve yourself, yet you are still unaware of it.
