90 老实念佛 (b) Honestly Reciting the Buddha’s Name 宣公上人一九七六年开示於金山寺弥陀七 A Dharma talk by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua at Gold Mountain Monastery during an Amitabha Buddha Recitation Session in 1976 这个净土法门，是对一切众生很对机的。所谓「用力少而成功多」，用的力量很少，而成 就却很大 ；这个法门既契理又契机宜。由金山寺这儿打七就 证明出来，在打禅七时，只 有二十多个人；现在打佛七，就有三十多个人；所以就证明这个法门，是对所有的人很相 当的。对这个念佛法门，只怕你不 念；你若一念，阿弥陀佛的愿力，就把你摄到极乐世 界去。这是最不可思议的一种法门。 The Pure Land Dharma method is suitable for all sentient beings. It is said, “gain more with less”– use little effort, but gain great success. This met hod not only agrees with principles, it also suits the appropriate potentials. The sessions at Gold Mountain Monastery prove it. Only around twenty people a ttended the Chan meditation session, but now we have over thirty participants at this Amitabha session. This proves that this practice is suitable for all p eople. The only concern is that you don't recite. As long as you recite, the s trength of Amitabha Buddha’s vows will bring you to the Land of Ultimate Blis s. This is the most inconceivable practice. 阿弥陀佛在西方极乐世界，和我们这儿所有念佛的众生，都有一个电线似的。我们这儿一 念佛，阿弥陀佛那个地方的电话也就响了，说：在娑婆世界 有个众生在那儿念佛呢！阿 弥陀佛的电话在什麽地方安着呢？他那个电话在阿弥陀佛的毫毛孔里头，每一个毫毛都有 一个电话机在那个地方。 In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, Amitabha Buddha has a transmission line connected to each living being here who recites his name. When we recite here , Amitabha Buddha's telephone rings and tells him that a sentient being in the Saha World is reciting his name! Where is Amitabha Buddha's phone installed? The phones are located in his pores. Each pore has a phone in it. 你这电话一响了，他说「Hello!」（ 哈罗！）。那个电话机一响了，他说：「喂！」。 另一个电话响了， 他说：「Yes！」（是的！）。那个电话一响了，他说：「吗西吗西 ！」（日本话）。这无量的电话都在阿弥陀佛的身上装好了。只怕你不打这个电话；你打 这个电话，阿弥陀佛一定会听到你念「阿弥陀佛」这声音的。这不是讲笑话，这是说的真 话。 He picks up your call and says, "Hello!" He picks up another call and says, "W ei!" (Greeting on the phone in Chinese) Another phone rings, and he says, "Yes !" Yet another phone rings, and he says, "Moshi! Moshi!" (Greeting in Japanese ) Limitless phones have been installed on Amitabha Buddha's body. The only con cern is that you don't make the call. As long as you call, Amitabha Buddha wil l hear you reciting "Amitabha Buddha." This is not a joke. It's true. (revised by Amy Liu and reviewed by Michael Lu) https://i.mopix.cc/D6oG15.jpg --
