Believe in the heart, want to live in our country
Dsecription
When I become a Buddha, the living beings in the ten directions, when they heard of my Name, will bring forth the Bodhi Resolve. They will cultivate all kinds of merits and virtues, uphold and practise the six paramitas firmly, solidly and with no retreat. Again they will transfer all their good roots and vows to be born in my Land. They will be mindful of me wholeheartedly throughout the days and nights unceasingly, When their lifespans come to an end, together with all the Bodhisattvas, I will appear in front of them. In just a fraction of a second, they will be born in my Land and become the non-retreating Bodhisattvas. If I am unable to obtain such vows, I will not attain The Proper Enlightenment.
Why do we die but cannot rebirth with ten thoughts? It's a false mind, and the mind works here. So you can't understand it. It's really useless to scream and break your throat. You can die with ten or even one sincerity, so everyone must pay attention to this sincerity. In that sincere heart, he is pure, and he can develop Prajna wisdom. The manifestation of Prajna wisdom is to have confidence in this incredible out-of-the-world Dafa, and this is faith. It is the best faith.The best faith, the best, the highest. It is your faith, pure faith, faith without doubt, the most faith. This kind of faith produces a kind of happiness, and this kind of happiness is the joy of faith, and the heart is full of joy. By believing in the merits of the name of Amitabha Buddha, the merits of the Three Realms of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, knowing that the reincarnation of life and death since the beginning of the calamity can be resolved in this life, this kind of rare and difficult thoughts will be rejoicing, and he will be happy. So you can see, some people who recite Buddhism are very happy when they talk about reciting Buddhism. Such people can die. This is the root of their goodness. If some people feel weak when chanting, do they think there is really Amitabha? Who is Amitabha? What is his relationship with me? Will he know me? Will he solve my problem? The more he read, the more doubtful he became, just like in Donglin's ten-day retreat on the million-Buddha title. There was a layman’s experience. The more she read and the more suspicious, the more boring and boring when she read. She started to recite "Nan no Amitabha, Nan no Amitabha... …", Nian Nian Nian finally read "Where is there Amitabha Buddha, how can there be Amitabha...", and her suspicion came out. The doubt is one of the six fundamental worries, the doubtful heart. The more you read, the more tasteless and tasteless. This slack heart, the relaxed heart, all the hearts come out. He didn't achieve the highest level of faith and happiness, so this kind of person would definitely not be able to die. To regenerate our country, desire is to make aspirations, and desire is the meaning of aspiration. It is based on conviction that it can arouse earnest wishes. Sorrowful of being away from Sapo, eager to seek bliss, do we have unforgettable feelings about the sufferings of the five turbid and evil worlds of Sapo's world? Is there a Three Realm Fire House that can't stay for a moment? Life and death matters, we are still struggling here in a sea of suffering. Is it like saving the head? Can this kind of urgency come out? This desire for life regards the desire for bliss as the only major thing in our lives. In this world, the five desires and six ash, wealth, beauty, fame, food, sleep and satisfaction are all vain. Suffering, is the root of reincarnation. It must be cut off and put down psychologically, and there is no need to live in this world for a few more years. Recently, when some lay persons mentioned what to do on the 2012 winter solstice, and he thought of what to do The problem. I heard that he prepared more compressed biscuits. What is the use of compressed biscuits? At this time, why don't you prepare for the mentality of "believe in your heart and desire to regenerate our country" and the name of Nanmo Amitabha? This is the best preparation. The great suffering is present, and once it is present, take advantage of the cause of such suffering to go to the Western Paradise of Bliss. This world must be full of disasters, and the bitter fruit of disasters comes from the thoughts of each of us. How many good thoughts are there in each of our thoughts? It's all evil thoughts, and evil thoughts will definitely be rewarded with evil. Don't ask people about this, and don't predict, it will be derived from our considerations of xinxing. The result can be deduced from the cause, and the cause can be traced from the effect. This cause and effect can be considered.
Therefore, when you are at the end of life, you can use this "to the heart to believe in happiness, to regenerate our country" to solemn the name, even the ten tones, or even the minimum ten tones. What is the highest limit? The more you read, the more the better. So let's use this one-don't think of the eighteen wishes, I just say ten tones. So I have spare time to drink tea, set up the dragon gate, touch mahjong, and go to karaoke. Then you have not been able to trust your heart. "To the heart to believe in happiness" wants us to recite the Buddha as much as possible, like Master Shandao, chanting 70,000 and 100,000 Buddha horns a day. Only when you spend your entire life time and your precious life on the Buddha's name can you express your sincerity. If you find it difficult to pass the time and do those boring worldly things, you have a problem with your sincerity. In fact, our patriarch of the Pure Land is showing examples of chanting more Buddhas. The more you recite, the better it is. Normally chanting Buddhism is training soldiers, and at the end of life is the critical moment to decide the victory or defeat. Our thoughts and thoughts are all on Amitabha Buddha, and the mentally fixed feeling at the end of life must correspond to the name of Amitabha Buddha in the Western Paradise, and Amitabha Buddha will naturally appear. Naturally, for this evil karma since the beginning of karma, it may be difficult to settle with our own strength. But as long as we feel that Amitabha Buddha is dying, he will definitely shine when Amitabha comes. The seeds of our evil karma since the beginning of karma can not be present, and the light of the Buddha makes us the seeds of the pure karma of reciting the Buddha. Then there is no greed, no inversion of the mind, such as entering meditation, and deciding to rebirth in the Western Paradise is a natural thing. Don't doubt this.
