念阿弥陀佛好处：念阿弥陀佛十大好处

Always recite Amitabha. The light of the Buddha is shining. The merit and virtue are immeasurable. The rewards are huge and magical.

----Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha.

Blessed life is limitless.

Amitabha is often recited. There are immeasurable merits and virtues, and immeasurable blessings and rewards.

Continuous chanting of Amitabha can eliminate karma, resolve creditors, accumulate blessings and promote practice.

Many Buddhists recite Amitabha and find that one problem is that when they recite it, they obstruct a lot, and are upset and unable to read it. Why?

According to Zhuge Changqing's research on Buddhism, this is mostly caused by the obstruction of the reciter's enemy relatives and creditors or the repeated help of his relatives. Therefore, chanting "Amitabha" should follow certain rituals.

Zhuge Changqing believes that the basic rituals to be observed in chanting Buddha are: first, ask Buddha and Bodhisattva, good gods, and ancestors for blessings, ask their enemy creditors, attached beings, and predestined creatures to forgive themselves and help themselves, and promise to return to them after chanting; Second, recite sincerely; Third, after the recitation, you should return to your own and family's enemy creditors, attached beings, and predestined creatures who have left bitterness and happiness immediately, and return to Lei Shizong who left bitterness and happiness; Go back and eliminate all kinds of criminal karma in the hell of yourself and your family, and eliminate all kinds of criminal karma such as killing karma, mouth karma, willful karma, and lewd karma.

If you are a beginner, don't worry. You can refer to Zhuge Changqing's Buddha chanting ritual, which will enter the stage of pure chanting.

How to chant Buddha: chanting rituals and chanting methods http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49e5f6df0102ei5h.html

Amitabha, what does it mean?

Amitabha (Sanskrit Amit ā Bha), "Amitabha", which means infinite light and infinite life. "Buddha" refers to the wisdom of achieving supreme and equal enlightenment. The light of Buddha spreads across ten directions; The life span of Buddha is three times. This shows the merits and virtues of all Buddhas.

Kumarashi's translation of the Amitabha Sutra said that he was named Amitabha because his life was limitless and his light was limitless. It is also known as Infinite Buddha, Infinite Light Buddha, Infinite Life Buddha, etc.

The Buddha Buddha Sakyamuni revealed in the Amitabha Sutra, "Sharif, what do you mean, why is the Buddha called Amitabha?"? Sariputta, the Buddha is immeasurable in brightness, shining on the ten kingdoms without obstacles, so it is called Amitabha. It is also called Amitabha because of the Buddha's life span, and its people, the immeasurable and limitless monk's plunder.

According to the Mahayana Sutra, Amitabha Buddha made a great wish to establish the Western Pure Land in the past, to spread all sentient beings, and to achieve immeasurable and solemn merit, which is widely respected and promoted by Mahayana Buddhism.

The Mahayana Sutra mainly includes the Infinite Life Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, and the View Infinite Life Sutra, which are detailed about Amitabha and the Western Paradise. In places where Mahayana Buddhism spreads, such as China, Japan and other Mahayana parishes, the Amitabha faith is also particularly prosperous and important. The Pure Land Sect of Chinese Buddhism takes the Western Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha as its specialized method.

Zhuge Changqing once suggested that everyone recite the Buddha's name in the "five in one" chanting culture of "Chinese learning". Among them, you can recite more Amitabha, and promote yourself to quickly eliminate karma, resolve creditors, accumulate blessings, and promote practice.

What are the benefits of chanting "Amitabha"?

Yang Jue, editor of Phoenix Chinese Buddhism Channel, once collected the ten benefits of chanting Amitabha.

Zhuge Changqing is here to share the "Ten Wonders of Amitabha" with those who are destined for it.

"Amitabha", the Buddhist name, is the crystallization of thousands of merits and virtues, and has incredible great power. It is a mercy in the sea of life and death, and a bright light in the long night. Ten wonderful things that Buddhist monks have gained in this world. These are all revealed by Sakyamuni Buddha himself in the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha has no delusions.

1、 Always get the invisible protection of all gods

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Those who observe the precepts and chant Amitabha continuously will be protected by the gods. All the gods in the heavenly way respect the Buddha Dharma, and all the people who read the Buddha are happy and praise, and protect them in the dark. Therefore, people who chant Buddha do not seek disaster relief, but natural disaster relief; Don't ask for family peace, family natural peace. To those who chant Buddha, it is only a small benefit in this world. To the gods, it is also to accumulate merit and virtue, and both sides have interests.

2、 All Bodhisattvas always follow and guard

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. All Bodhisattvas visit the world of ten methods to help protect those who do good deeds and chant Buddha.

The task of Bodhisattva is to seek the Buddha's way and lower all living beings.

Therefore, we are often separated from each other. We travel in ten directions, and we are destined to be universal.

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are predestined. In the sea of life and death, all sentient beings call their names wholeheartedly, which is a cry for help to Buddha and Bodhisattva. So Goodall said, "In the sea of life and death, chanting Buddha comes first." The reason for calling for help is the reason for the Bodhisattva to seek the voice to save the suffering. The reason is the combination of karma, and the feeling of the way of communication. Naturally, the evil will turn into the good, and the joy will come from the suffering. This is the result.

Since ancient times and modern times, many predestined beings have become famous because of suffering from bad luck, turned out to be safe because of chanting famous names, and also because of the benefits of chanting Buddha, they have made letters and vows, sought to live in the Pure Land, and saw Buddha and heard Dharma. "The desire is the first to lead, and then the Buddha's wisdom." This is the skillful and convenient way for Bodhisattva to incarnate all sentient beings.

3、 Always get the protection of the Buddhas day and night. Amitabha always shines brightly and takes care of this person

Always get the protection of all Buddhas: protect, protect; Miss, miss.

The Amitabha Sutra says: "All good men and women are protected by all Buddhas, and they can not retreat to the three contempt and three bodhi of Apidra.".

Those who chant Buddha are protected and cared for by all the Buddhas. Because of the incredible power of protection and care of the Buddhas, their heart of practice can never turn back until they get the wisdom of the Buddha - Agindra, Samadhi and Samadhi. In this way, even if this life cannot be reborn into the blissful world, it will not turn back once the good root has been planted. It is certain that one day it will be reborn in the Pure Land, see the Buddha and hear the Dharma.

Amitabha Buddha's exposure to light: Amitabha, also known as the Infinite Light Buddha. The light of Buddha's wisdom, which stretches across ten directions, transcends space. The light of Buddha is hundreds of billions of times larger than that of the sun. The light of the sun is separated by a wall. The Buddha's light shines everywhere, and nothing can block it.

"Amitabha" is the limitless light life, the Dharma body of Buddha, that is, the Buddha nature that everyone has. Those who chant Buddha will have their karma removed and their body and mind will be clean; The mind is pure, that is, the heart is Buddha. That is the truth of "false to show". Zhuge Changqing: Those who continue to chant will get the blessing of Amitabha Buddha and directly realize the leap.

4、 Those who chant Buddha can't harm all evil spirits forty miles away (far) from the light candle (shining); You will not accept any snake poison

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. If you continue to recite Amitabha, you will not only get the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva, but also your own Buddha nature will slowly recover. The natural Buddha light protects your body, and there are incredible blessings and rewards.

Everyone has a genuine sense of permanence, like a big round mirror, which can shine on the sky and the earth, and has boundless brightness. However, it is obscured by dust and dirt, and it is dark. A Buddhist name is a purifying agent to eliminate delusions. When delusions are eliminated, the light of the heart is exposed, and the body is bright up to 40 miles away. This is true.

According to the Anthology of Master Ouyi, in Tongcheng County, Anhui Province, there were two people, A and B, who went out to do business. Later A died of illness in a foreign country. B buried him and brought back his remains to give it to his wife. Why did wife A suddenly die because her husband was young and healthy? He suspected that B was killing his life. B was deeply aggrieved and could not prove it. He went to the grave and wept bitterly and told his grievances. Suddenly, A's voice whispered, "You are kind to me. My wife wronged you. I can attach it to you and go home and explain it to her." Then B turned back. Along the way, A talked with him, just as before. But I can only hear its sound, but I can't see its shape. Once, B stumbled and almost fell. Unconsciously, he said "Amitabha!" This time, A said in a frightened voice in the distance, "How can you scare me with the light?" B heard that the chanting of Buddha would emit light, and repeated several times. As a result, A's voice was farther away from him, saying, "When you chant Buddha, your chest radiates a dazzling light, and I can't get close to you. Please go back and tell my wife and ask her to come to the grave, and I will explain to her clearly." B followed suit. Through this event, I felt that the Buddha power was incredible, so I abandoned the business and became a monk and devoted myself to practice. Later he became an eminent monk.

In 1948, a resident of Chengdu Yang Changping, who was walking through the East Gate Bridge of Chengdu one day, almost fell down on a stone at his feet, and unconsciously said "Amitabha!" That night, he had a dream. In the dream, there were five gorgeous beautiful women, who asked him to go with him. He was moved, and they walked together to a certain street, and they went in and waved to him. At this time, an old man with white beard stopped him and said, "You are a Buddhist monk, don't go." He woke up suddenly when he was still trying to get inside. Yang felt that the dream was strange. The next day he went to a certain street and asked the owner about the scene in his dream last night. The owner said, "No five beauties came, but my mother dog gave birth to six puppies last night, including five female flower dogs, and one male dog died after birth." Yang was shocked and sweated. I thought that if I didn't recite the Buddha, I would become a dog. In this way, he is more pious in worshipping the Buddha and often exhorts people with this matter. The above is Mr. Fan Longyi (now 89 years old, living in the Buddhist sanatorium of Baoguo Temple in Lezhi) who listened to Yang in 1996.

All demons and ghosts are afraid of light and Buddha's name.

According to the "General Gate Products", suppose that in the three thousand countries, there are nocturnal rascals everywhere, trying to harm people. When he said the name of Avalokitesvara, those evil spirits dared not even look at him, let alone harm him. All dragons, snakes and beasts will not be harmed. "If the evil beasts are around, the sharp teeth and claws are terrible. Read that Guanyin Power, and hurry to the infinite (quickly escape to the distance.)" "The snake and the pit viper are burning with poison. Read that Guanyin Power, and find the sound (smell) to return (avoid)." As for poison, There are also clear instructions: "Curse all kinds of poisons, and those who want to harm themselves (want to harm others with it), recite the power of Guanyin, and still do harm to themselves (harm others and eventually harm themselves)." All the above are spoken by the Buddha himself. Although the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva is called, the same is true of Amitabha.

5、 Fire and water have wronged the thief, and the sword and arrow have been jailed, and the life has been wasted

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Those who continue to recite Amitabha are protected by Buddha, Bodhisattva and Dharmapala, and will quietly avoid all kinds of disasters and disasters. It is amazing.

All kinds of sufferings and sufferings of the five turbid and evil beings emerge in endlessly. Here are listed floods, fires, wrongs, robbers, guns, (ancient swords and arrows, which are today's guns, are all lethal weapons of murder. The disasters of swords and arrows, including war disasters, are imprisoned, as well as being wronged and killed or perverted by a violent disaster. In fact, the disaster is far more than that, but take these as examples.

The three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance are the root of all evil and the root of disaster. Those who recite Buddhism, recite to eliminate the three poisons, eliminate worries, and do not seek disaster relief. Natural disaster relief is invisible. At ordinary times, we can recite the name of Buddha wholeheartedly. At the critical moment, our nature of Amitabha will rescue all living beings in the heart of Amitabha, and turn bad into good. If you don't chant Buddha at ordinary times, when the disaster comes, you will feel panic and disorientation, and it is hard to remember chanting Buddha. Also, the secret of chanting Buddha is to be sincere and respectful.

Master Yinguang said, "If there is one point of respect, it will eliminate one point of sin and add one point of wisdom. If there is a point of respect, it will eliminate one point of sin and add one point of wisdom." We must remember!

6、 All that is done first will be destroyed. Peter was freed from the injustice he had killed, and he was not stubborn.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Continue to recite Amitabha, and return to your enemies, creditors, attached beings, predestined creatures, and relatives for many generations, and to eliminate all kinds of criminal karma in your own and your family's hell, and eliminate all kinds of criminal karma such as killing karma, oral karma, willful karma, and lewd karma, which can quickly resolve karma and eliminate criminal karma. Of course, if you do a good job of releasing animals, giving food, printing scriptures, etc. at the same time, it is more responsive and magical.

7、 In the night, I dream of integrity, or I dream of Amitabha

Zhuge Changqing suggested that before going to bed every night, sit up and recite more than 10 sentences of Amitabha, return to your own and your family's enemies, creditors, and attached beings, and vow to stop evil and do good, to do good and accumulate virtue, to promote the law and benefit life, so that you can fall asleep quickly, stop evil dreams, and let yourself fall asleep safely.

Dreams are realized by idealism. People with heavy desire have more obscene dreams, while those with heavy anger have more horrible dreams. People who recite Buddhism are clean in body and mind, sleep peacefully at night, and do not have nightmares and evil dreams. And after going to bed, holding the name of Buddha or listening to the tape of chanting Buddha can nourish the mind and calm the mind, which can cure insomnia and eliminate nightmares. For example, in a dream, when encountering a frightening situation or a nightmare, the name of Buddha will disappear immediately.

Honestly chant Buddha, work hard, delusions are gradually eliminated, and the light of mind is gradually revealed. All sentient beings can see the Buddha when they are pure in heart. The Buddha appears everywhere and at all times (Dharma Master Jingkong's language). The water is clear and the moon is clear. You can see the majestic beauty of Amitabha. However, you must not be happy and persistent in this life. This is not only useless, but also victimized.

Master Yinguang said, "Recently, there have been many demonic things in practice. This is all due to the mania and the eagerness to have a sense of understanding and to have a victory. We should know that the realm of manifestation is not the realm of magic. Even the realm of victory, as long as we have a desire for joy, we will suffer obstacles and damage."

8、 The heart is always happy, the color is glossy, the strength is full, and the work is auspicious

Saha beings are suffering. Most of my life was spent in fear, resentment, sorrow and pain. Only those who chant Buddha have a pure heart, and they chant Buddha with one heart. They will follow the fate to eliminate karma, and will not be changed by circumstances. The heart is full of Dharma joy, the face is full of radiance, and the disease is naturally eliminated; Healthy and long life without seeking self-satisfaction is only a by-product of chanting Buddha.

Those who chant Buddha, the Buddhas are happy, the Dragon Heaven supports them, and the good fortune grows, so what they do is bound to be auspicious.

Dharma Master Jingkong said that there was a man in Taiwan who was more than 90 years old. He walked 30000 steps every day and recited 30000 voices of Buddha. He was healthy, energetic and upright. At the end of his life, he will be able to die peacefully without suffering from illness.

9、 Always respect, like and worship all the people in the world

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. People who chant Buddha are round, rich and auspicious, and the Buddha shines brightly. The Buddha and Bodhisattva are kind and protect their eyes, and are respected and happy everywhere.

Those who recite Buddhism are pure in heart, friendly in welcoming others, and have a wide range of good relationships and are happy to help others.

Confucius said, "Those who respect others always respect them and those who love them always love them.". It is inevitable to receive people's respect, joy and worship.

The great wish of Amitabha has been praised by all Buddhas, so those who recite Amitabha will also be blessed.

Amitabha, how are you praised?

Zhuge Changqing shared the teachings of the Buddha Sakyamuni in the Amitabha Sutra as follows:

Sharif, like me today, praises the incredible merit and virtue of Amitabha. In the east, there are also many Buddhas, such as Ashi Buddha, Xumi Xiang Buddha, Da Xumi Buddha, Xumi Guang Buddha, Miaoyin Buddha, and so on. They are all in their own countries and have a broad tongue. They cover three thousand worlds. To be honest, you should believe that you are praising the incredible merit and all the Buddhas protect and recite the sutras.

Sharif, there are Sun-Moon Lantern Buddha, Famous Light Buddha, Big Flame Shoulder Buddha, Xumi Lantern Buddha, and Infinite Progressive Buddha in the southern world. Such a number of Buddhas in the Ganges, each in its own country, have a broad tongue, and cover the three thousand worlds. To be honest, you should believe that you are praising the incredible merit and virtue, and all the Buddhas protect and chant sutras.

Sharif, in the western world, there are Infinite Life Buddha, Infinite Phase Buddha, Infinite Building Buddha, Big Light Buddha, Daming Buddha, Treasure Phase Buddha, Pure Light Buddha, and so on. Such a number of Buddhas in the Ganges are all in their own countries, with broad tongues, covering the three thousand world. To be honest, you should believe that you are praising the incredible merit and all the Buddhas protect and chant sutras.

Sharif, the northern world has Yanshou Buddha, Zhishenyin Buddha, Nanju Buddha, Nisseng Buddha, and Wangming Buddha. Such a number of Buddhas in the Ganges, each in its own country, have a broad tongue, and cover the three thousand worlds. To be honest, you should believe that you are praising the incredible merit, and all the Buddhas protect and chant sutras.

Sharif, there are Shizi Buddha, Mingwen Buddha, Mingguang Buddha, Dharma Buddha, Dharma Buddha and Dharma Buddha in the world below. Such a number of Buddhas in the Ganges are all in their own countries. They have a broad tongue and cover the whole world. To be honest, you should believe that you are praising the incredible merit and all the Buddhas are protecting and chanting sutras.

Sharif, there are Sanskrit Buddha, Suwang Buddha, Incense Buddha, Incense Light Buddha, Big Flame Shoulder Buddha, Variegated Baohua Strict Body Buddha, Salsa King Buddha, Baohua De Buddha, See All Righteous Buddhas, Rushan Buddha, and so on in the world above. Such a number of Buddhas in the Ganges are different from each other, and have a broad tongue, covering three thousand worlds. To be honest, you all beings should believe in praising the incredible merit and virtue, and all Buddhas protect and chant sutras.

Sharif, what do you mean by saying, why is it called chanting sutras protected by all Buddhas? If there are good men and good women, those who hear the scriptures, and those who hear the names of the Buddhas, are all good men and women, who are protected by all the Buddhas, and can not retreat to Anuttarasambhuti. Therefore, Sharif, you should all believe my words and what the Buddhas said.

Sharif, if someone has made a vow, and is making a vow now, he should make a vow. Those who want to live in Amitabha are all people who can not retreat to turn to Anuttarasambhuti. In that land, if you are born, if you are born, if you are born. Therefore, if there are good men and women who believe in Buddhism, they should vow to live in that country.

Sharif, as I am today, praises the incredible merits of the Buddhas and other Buddhas, and also praises my incredible merits. As a matter of fact, Sakyamuni Buddha can do something very difficult. In the land of Saha, the five turbid and evil worlds, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the turbid, the. For all sentient beings, it is said to be the law that is hard to believe in the world. Saripur, I should know that it is very difficult for me to say this unbelievable method for all the world when I am in the five turbid and evil times, and do this difficult thing, and get the Anuttarasambhuti.

The Buddha said that this sutra, Sharif, all the monks, all the celestial beings in the world, Ashura, and so on, were glad to hear what the Buddha said, and went away as a gift.

10、 At the end of his life, he had no fear in his heart, and his mindfulness appeared before him, and he saw Amitabha and all saints holding the golden lotus and leading them to the western paradise

amitabha. Abide by the precepts, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and sincerely recite the Buddha. At the end of his life, he will be led by Buddha and Bodhisattva Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, Bodhisattva, and other Buddha and Bodhisattva to die in the Western Paradise.

Buddha Sakyamuni said in the Amitabha Sutra that if there is a good man or a good woman in the Buddhist relics, if there is a good man or a good woman who hears the Amitabha Buddha and holds the name, if it is one day, if it is two days, if it is three days, if it is four days, if it is five days, if it is six days, if it is seven days, it is not disordered. At the end of his life, Amitabha and all saints are now in front of him. At the end of the life, if you don't turn your heart upside down, you will die in the blissful land of Amitabha. Sheriff, I see it is Li, so I say this. If there are sentient beings, they should make a vow to live in that country.

What is the Blissful World like?

Buddha Sakyamuni introduced in the Amitabha Sutra that the Buddha then told the Elder Sharif that it was from the west, and it was more than one billion Buddha lands. There was a world name of Blissful. There is a Buddha in its land, called Amitabha, which is now said. Sheriff, why is this land called Blissful? All living beings in his country have no suffering, but enjoy all kinds of happiness, so it is named Blissful. There are also four treasures around the world, namely, the Shriver, the Land of Blissful Land, the seven-degree projection, the seven-degree net, and the seven-degree tree. That's why the country is called Blissful Land. There are seven treasure pools in the land of Blissful Land, which are filled with water of eight merits and virtues. The bottom of the pool is covered with pure gold sand. The four-sided steps are made of gold, silver, glass and glass. There are pavilions on the top, which are also decorated with gold, silver, colored glaze, glass, triple dacna, red beads and agate. The lotus in the pond is as big as a wheel, with blue light, yellow light, red light, white light, and delicate fragrance. Sharif, the land of Blissful Land, has achieved such noble achievements. It is also the land of Buddha. It is often used for heavenly bliss. Gold is the earth. It is six o'clock in the day and six o'clock in the night. All living beings in the land often use Qingdan to test and enrich the wonderful flowers in clothing, and to provide one billion Buddhas to others. That is, when you eat, you return to your home country, and your food is OK. Sharif, the land of Blissful Land, has achieved such noble achievements. Many times, there are various kinds of wonderful birds in that country: white cranes, peacocks, parrots, Buddhist relics, Kalingpinga, and common birds. It is all the birds that produce elegant sounds at six o'clock in the day and night. The sound of the five roots, five forces, seven Bodhi points, and eight holy points can be expressed smoothly. All sentient beings in the land have heard the sound and heard the chanting of Buddha, Dharma and monk. Sheriff, don't call this bird. It's really the result of a sin. So what? There are no three evil ways in the land of Buddha. Sharif, the land of Buddha, has no name for evil ways, let alone reality? All the birds are made by Amitabha to make the sound of Dharma flow and change. Shriver, the land of Buddha, the breeze blowing, all the treasure trees, and the net of Baoluo, make a subtle sound, such as a hundred kinds of music, all at the same time. Those who hear the sound naturally have the heart of chanting Buddha, Dharma and monk. Sharif, the land of Buddha, has achieved such solemn merit and virtue.

Death is the saddest thing in life, and everyone can't escape it. At the end of his life, an emperor with supreme power, a rich man with billions of assets, and a beggar with nothing will be exactly the same. At that time, the power and wealth in hand could not help at all. Only those who recite Buddha can recite Buddha wholeheartedly and seek the Pure Land without nostalgia and fear. At the same time, it must be led by Buddha to the rebirth state. From then on, he became a saint and became a Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha's forty-eight wishes, the 19th is to make a famous wish, and the 20th is to receive a dying wish. The vow text is: "When I am a Buddha, all living beings in ten directions will hear my name, develop Bodhicitta, cultivate all merits and virtues, adhere to the Six Paramitas, be firm and never retreat; return to the good root, and be willing to live in my country, thinking of me with one heart, day and night. At the end of my life, I and all the Bodhisattvas will meet in front of me. After a moment (an instant), I will be born in the moment (the land), and become the Avalokitesvara (not to turn back). It is not a wish, not to take the right sense (If I can't fulfill this wish, I swear not to become a Buddha). " This is the promise of Amitabha to all living beings who recite Buddha. Is there any doubt?

The above ten benefits are contained in the scriptures, which are also proclaimed by the Buddha's golden mouth.

The ten major interests listed in this article are all contained in the Buddhist scriptures, and were personally preached by Sakyamuni Buddha. Since it benefits both the present life and the afterlife, no matter from the worldly law or the worldly law, there is no more important method than learning Buddhism.

The Buddha Sutra of the View of Infinite Life said, "If you recite the Buddha with your heart, you can eliminate eight billion lives and deaths." Besides, can't you eliminate the current disaster?

The Infinite Life Sutra says, "I use the light of wisdom to illuminate the boundless (boundless) world." Those who recite Buddha often use the light of wisdom to illuminate their bodies. Why worry about not having wisdom? "A Buddha's name is the medicine of Agatha, which is always the medicine of all diseases. If you don't believe it and don't take it, what's the use?" This important announcement, read today, still has very pertinent guiding significance.

常念阿弥陀佛，佛光普照，功德无量，福报果报巨大、神奇不可思议。

---- 诸葛长青

   阿弥陀佛。

   南无本师释迦牟尼佛。

   福生无量天尊。

    常念诵阿弥陀佛，有无量功德、无量福报果报。

   持续念诵阿弥陀佛，可以消除业障、化解债主、积累福报、促进修行。

   很多学佛者念诵阿弥陀佛，发现一个问题，就是念的时候，阻挠很多，心情烦躁、念不下去。这是为什么呢？

   根据诸葛长青研究佛学发现，这多是念诵者的冤亲债主等阻挠或者累世宗亲求助导致的。所以，念诵“阿弥陀佛”，要按照一定的仪轨进行。

   诸葛长青认为，念佛要遵守的基本的仪轨是：一要先请佛菩萨、善神、累世宗亲加持，请自己的冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵原谅自己帮助自己，并承诺念诵了会回向他们；二是诚心念诵；三是念诵结束后，要回向自己和家人的冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵离苦得乐立刻超生，回向累世宗亲离苦得乐；回向消除自己和家人地狱的各类罪业，消除自己的杀业、口业、意业、邪淫业等各类罪业等。

    如果是初学念佛者，别着急，可以参考诸葛长青念佛仪轨，用念佛仪轨就会进入清净念诵阶段。

   《如何念佛：念佛仪轨念佛方法》http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49e5f6df0102ei5h.html

   阿弥陀佛什么意思呢？

   阿弥陀佛（梵语Amitābha），“阿弥陀”，意义为无量光、无量寿。“佛”，是指成就无上正等正觉的智慧。佛的光明横遍十方；佛的寿命竖穷三际。此表一切诸佛的功德。

   鸠摩罗什译本《阿弥陀经》说，因为他寿命无量、光明无量，故名为阿弥陀。又名无量佛、无量光佛、无量寿佛等。

   世尊释迦牟尼佛在《阿弥陀经》上开示说：舍利弗，于汝意云何，彼佛何故号阿弥陀？舍利弗，彼佛光明无量，照十方国，无所障碍，是故号为阿弥陀。又舍利弗，彼佛寿命，及其人民，无量无边阿僧祗劫，故名阿弥陀。

   大乘经记载，阿弥陀佛在过去久远劫时曾立大愿，建立西方净土，广度无边众生，成就无量庄严功德，为大乘佛教所广为崇敬和弘扬。

   大乘佛经主要如《无量寿经》、《阿弥陀经》、《观无量寿佛经》，对阿弥陀佛及其西方极乐世界均有详述。大乘佛教流传之地，如中国、日本等大乘教区，阿弥陀佛信仰也尤为繁盛和重要。而汉传佛教的净土宗，则完全以往生阿弥陀佛的西方净土作为专修的法门。
   诸葛长青曾经在“国学五合一”的念诵文化中，建议大家念诵佛号，其中可以多念阿弥陀佛，推动自己迅速消除业障、化解债主、积累福报、促进修行。 

   念诵“阿弥陀佛”有什么好处呢？

   凤凰网华人佛教频道杨珏编辑曾汇集了念阿弥陀佛的十大好处。

   诸葛长青在这里把“念阿弥陀佛十大妙处”分享给有缘者。

  “阿弥陀佛”，这句佛名，是万种功德的结晶，具有不可思议的大威神力。它是生死苦海中的慈航，是慢慢长夜里的明灯。念佛人现世获得的十种妙处。这些都是释迦牟尼佛在佛经上亲口开示的，佛无妄语。　　　　

   一、常得一切天神隐形守护　　　　

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。遵守戒律，持续念诵阿弥陀佛者，必有天神护佑。　　天道中的一切天神，都尊重佛法，看到念佛人都欢喜赞叹，冥冥中加以保护。因此，念佛的人，不求消灾免难，自然消灾免难；不求家庭平安，家庭自然平安。这对念佛的人说，不过是现世获得的小利益。对天神说，也是积累功德，双方均有利益。　

   二、常得一切菩萨常随守护　　　　

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。诸位菩萨巡视十方法界，帮助护佑行善念佛的人。

   菩萨的任务，就是上求佛道，下化众生。

   所以时常分身无量，游化十方，普度有缘。

   念佛众生和诸佛菩萨有缘，众生在生死苦海中，一心称名，是向佛菩萨发出的呼救声。所以古德说：“生死海中，念佛第一。”称名求救是因，菩萨寻声救苦是缘，因缘和合，感应道交，自然逄凶化吉，离苦得乐，这就是果。

   古今以来，许多有缘众生，由于遭受厄运苦恼而称名号，由于称念名号而转危为安，也由于获得念佛的利益，而生信发愿，求生净土，见佛闻法。“先以欲勾牵，后令入佛智”这是菩萨化度众生的善巧方便。　　　　

   三、常得诸佛昼夜护念，阿弥陀佛常放光明，摄受此人　　　　

   常得诸佛护念：护，保护；念，惦念。

  《阿弥陀经》说：“是诸善男子、善女人，皆为一切诸佛之所护念，皆得不退转于阿褥多罗三藐三菩提”。

   念佛的人，受到一切诸佛的保护和惦念，由于诸佛保护和惦念的力量不可思议，所以他们修行的心，能永不退转，直到得着佛的智慧——阿褥多罗三藐三菩提。照这样说，就算这一世不能往生极乐世界，但既已种下善根，就不会退转，一定有一天会往生净土，见佛闻法。　　　　

     阿弥陀佛放光摄受：阿弥陀佛，又号无量光佛。佛的智慧之光，横遍十方，超越空间。佛的光明比太阳的光大千亿倍，太阳的光，一道墙便隔断了。佛的光明无所不照，任何东西也阻隔不了。

   “阿弥陀”是无量光寿，是佛的法身，也就是人人本具的佛性。念佛的人，业障消除，身心清净；心头清净，即心是佛。也就是“妄去真显”的道理。诸葛长青：持续念诵的人，会得到阿弥陀佛佛光加持，直接实现飞跃。

    四、念佛之人，光明烛（照）身，四十里之遥（远）一切恶鬼，皆不能害；一切蛇龙毒药，悉皆不受　　　　

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。持续念诵阿弥陀佛，不仅得到佛菩萨加持，而且自身佛性就会慢慢恢复，自然佛光护体，有不可思议福报果报。

   人人本具的常住真心，像一面大圆镜，能照天照地，具有无量光明。但被多生尘垢蒙蔽，晦暗无光。一句佛号，是消除妄念的净化剂，妄念消除，心光显露，身放光明可达四十里之远。这是真实不虚的。　　　　

   《藕益大师文选》记载，安徽桐城县，有甲乙二人，外出经商，后甲病死异乡。乙将他安埋并带回遗物，交给甲妻。甲妻以其夫年轻体健，何以突然死去？怀疑乙谋财害命。乙深感委屈，又无法证明。便去甲坟前痛哭，倾诉冤屈。忽然甲的声音附耳说：“你对我有恩情，我妻冤枉你，我可以附在你的身上，回家去对妻解释清楚。”于是乙便折回。一路上，甲和他对话，和生前一样。不过只闻其声，不见其形。一次，乙偶然失脚，几乎跌倒。不自觉地念了一声“阿弥陀佛！”这一下，甲用惊恐的声音在远处说：“你怎么放光吓我？”乙听到念佛会放光，又连念几声佛。这一来，甲的声音距他更远，说：“你念佛时，胸部放射出耀眼的光芒，我没法靠拢你身边。请你回去告诉我妻，叫她到坟前来，我会向她解释清楚。”乙便照办。通过这件事，使乙深感佛力不可思议，便弃商出家，潜心修行。后来成为一位高僧。

   1948年，成都杨昌平居士，一天路经成都东门大桥时，脚下踩着石头几乎跌倒，不觉口中念一声“阿弥陀佛！”当夜做一梦，梦中有五个花枝招展的美貌女子，约他同行，他心动了，便伙同一道行至某街某号，她们进去并向他招手。这时有白胡子老人阻挡他说：“你是念佛人不要去。”他仍然拼命往里面钻时，便突然醒了。杨觉得这梦离奇，次日亲往某街某号，向主人询及昨夜梦中情景。主人说：“并无五个美女前来，只是我家昨夜母狗产下了六只狗仔，有五只雌性的花狗，一只雄性的狗出生便死了。”杨听后，吓出一身冷汗。心想如果不是念了一声佛，就变狗去了。以此，他更虔心奉佛并常举此事劝人。以上是范隆奕居士（现年89岁，住乐至报国寺念佛安养院）于1996年亲自听杨所说。　　　　

   一切妖魔鬼怪，都怕光明，都怕佛名。

   《普门品》说：假设在三千大千国土中，到处均有夜叉罗刹，想来害人。听见他称念观世音菩萨名号时，那些恶鬼，连看都不敢看他，更不可能加害了。一切恶龙毒蛇猛兽，也不会加害。“若恶兽围绕，利牙爪可怖。念彼观音力，急走无边方（迅速逃往远方。）”“蛇及蝮蝎，气毒烟火然（燃）。念彼观音力，寻声（闻身）自回去（回避）。”至于毒药，也有明确的开示：“咒沮诸毒药，所欲害身者（想用它害别人），念彼观音力，还着于本人（害人终害己）。”以上都是佛陀亲口宣讲，虽说的是称念观音菩萨名号，其实念阿弥陀佛也是一样。　　　　

   五、水火冤贼，刀箭牢狱，横死枉生，悉皆不受　　　　

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。持续念诵阿弥陀佛的人，有佛菩萨、护法神保护，会悄悄避开各类灾难祸害，神奇不可思议。

   五浊恶世的众生，种种厄难苦恼，层出不穷。这里列举水灾、火灾、冤对、强盗、枪炮、（古代的刀箭，就是今天的枪炮，都是杀人的凶器。刀箭之灾，包括战祸在内）牢狱以及遭受横祸冤屈而死或枉堕恶道等。其实，灾难远不止此，不过举这些作为代表罢了。　　　　

   贪、嗔、痴三毒是万恶的根本，是灾难的根源。念佛的人，念念清除三毒，消除烦恼，不求消灾免难，自然消灾免难于无形。平时能一心称名念佛，到紧急关头，我们自性中的弥陀，自会救护弥陀心中的众生，而使逢凶化吉。如果平时不念佛，到灾难临头时，内心恐慌张惶，六神无主，很难想起念佛。还有，念佛的秘诀就是至诚恭敬。

   印光大师说：“有一分恭敬，则消一分罪业，增一分福慧；有十分恭敬，则消十分罪业，增十分福慧。”必须牢记！　　

 　六、先所作业，悉皆消灭。所杀冤命，彼蒙解脱，更无执对。

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。持续念诵阿弥陀佛，并回向自己的冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲，回向消除自己和家人地狱的各类罪业，消除自己的杀业、口业、意业、邪淫业等各类罪业，可以迅速化解业障，消除罪业。当然，如果同时做好放生、施食、印经书等，更是感应迅猛，神奇不可思议。　　　

   七、夜梦正直，或梦见阿弥陀佛胜妙色像　　　　

   诸葛长青建议：每晚睡觉前，端坐念诵阿弥陀佛10句以上，回向自己和家人的冤亲债主、附体众生等，并发愿止恶行善、行善积德，弘法利生，可以迅速入眠，制止邪淫梦境，让自己安然入睡。

   梦境是唯心所现。欲念重的人多淫秽梦，嗔心重的人多恐怖梦。念佛的人身心清净，夜眠安稳，不会做恶梦、邪梦。还有上床后，默持佛名或静听念佛磁带，可以养心安神，既能对治失眠，又可消除恶梦。如在梦中，遇到恐怖境相，或出现梦靥时，一称佛名，顿时化为乌有。　　　　

   老实念佛，绵密用功，妄想逐渐消除，心光逐渐显露。众生心净则见佛，佛无时无处不现身（净空法师语）。水清月自见，能够见到阿弥陀佛殊胜的庄严妙相。但是，切不可因此生欢喜心、执著心。这不但无益，反致受害。

   印光大师说：“近来修行的，多有着魔的事情发生。这都是由躁妄心，急于希望有感通，有胜境出现。应该知道，不要说显现的境界是魔所现，即便是胜妙境界，只要生起一念贪著欢喜之心，就会受到障碍和损害。” 　　　　

   八、心常欢喜，颜色光泽，气力充盛，所作吉利　　　　

   娑婆众生，身为苦本。一生多在惊恐、怨愤、忧愁、痛苦中度过。只有念佛的人，内心清净，一心念佛，随缘消业，不被境转。内心充满法喜，容貌充实光辉，疾病自然消除；健康长寿，不求自得，这只算是念佛的副产品。

   念佛的人，诸佛欢喜，龙天拥护，善缘增长，所作的事必然吉利。

   净空法师说，台湾有位男居士，九十多岁，每天走三万步路，念三万声佛，身体健康，精神饱满，腰背挺直。他将来临命终时，必能毫无病苦，安详往生。　　　　

   九、常为一切世间人民恭敬、喜欢、礼拜　　　　

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。念佛之人，相貌圆润、富贵吉祥、佛光普照，佛菩萨善神护之如自己眼睛，处处受人恭敬、欢喜。

   念佛的人，内心清净，和气迎人，广结善缘，助人为乐。

   孔子说：“敬人者人恒（常）敬之，爱人者人恒爱之。”（尊敬别人的人是种善因，人们常常尊敬他是结善果。爱护别人的人是种善因，人们常常爱护他是结善果。）种这样的因，结这样的果。受到人们的恭敬、欢喜、礼拜，这是必然的事。　

   阿弥陀佛大愿力备受诸佛赞叹，因而念诵阿弥陀佛的人也会得到加持。

   阿弥陀佛如何受到赞叹？

   诸葛长青把世尊释迦牟尼佛在《阿弥陀经》上的开示分享如下：

   舍利弗，如我今者，赞叹阿弥陀佛不可思议功德之利。东方亦有阿閦(chu)鞞佛、须弥相佛、大须弥佛、须弥光佛、妙音佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，南方世界有日月灯佛、名闻光佛、大焰肩佛、须弥灯佛、无量精进佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，西方世界有无量寿佛、无量相佛、无量幢佛、大光佛、大明佛、宝相佛、净光佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，北方世界有焰肩佛、最胜音佛、难沮佛、日生佛、网明佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，下方世界有师子佛、名闻佛、名光佛、达摩佛、法幢佛、持法佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，上方世界有梵音佛、宿王佛、香上佛、香光佛、大焰肩佛、杂色宝华严身佛、娑罗树王佛、宝华德佛、见一切义佛、如须弥山佛，如是等恒河沙数诸佛，各于其国，出广长舌相，遍复三千大千世界，说诚实言：汝等众生，当信是称赞不可思议功德，一切诸佛所护念经。

  舍利弗，于汝意云何，何故名为一切诸佛所护念经？舍利弗，若有善男子、善女人，闻是经受持者，及闻诸佛名者，是诸善男子、善女人，皆为一切诸佛之所护念，皆得不退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。是故舍利弗，汝等皆当信受我语，及诸佛所说。

  舍利弗，若有人已发愿、今发愿、当发愿，欲生阿弥陀佛国者，是诸人等，皆得不退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。于彼国土，若已生、若今生、若当生。是故舍利弗，诸善男子、善女人，若有信者，应当发愿，生彼国土。

　　舍利弗，如我今者，称赞诸佛不可思议功德，彼诸佛等，亦称赞我不可思议功德。而作是言，释迦牟尼佛，能为甚难希有之事。能于娑婆国土，五浊恶世，劫浊、见浊、烦恼浊、众生浊、命浊中，得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。为诸众生，说是一切世间难信之法。舍利弗，当知我于五浊恶世，行此难事，得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提，为一切世间说此难信之法，是为甚难。

　　佛说此经已，舍利弗，及诸比丘，一切世间天人阿修罗等，闻佛所说，欢喜信受，作礼而去。　　　

   十、临命终时，心无怖畏，正念现前，得见阿弥陀佛与诸圣众，持金莲花，接引往生西方极乐世界　　　　

   阿弥陀佛。遵守戒律，行善积德，诚心念佛，命终之时，必会得到阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨、大势至菩萨等佛菩萨接引，往生西方极乐世界。

   世尊释迦牟尼在在《阿弥陀经》上说：舍利弗，若有善男子、善女人，闻说阿弥陀佛，执持名号，若一日、若二日、若三日、若四日、若五日、若六日、若七日，一心不乱。其人临命终时，阿弥陀佛与诸圣众，现在其前。是人终时，心不颠倒，即得往生阿弥陀佛极乐国土。舍利弗，我见是利，故说此言。若有众生，闻是说者，应当发愿，生彼国土。

 　极乐世界什么样？

   世尊释迦牟尼佛在《阿弥陀经》中介绍说：尔时佛告长老舍利弗，从是西方，过十万亿佛土，有世界名曰极乐。其土有佛，号阿弥陀，今现在说法。舍利弗，彼土何故名为极乐？其国众生，无有众苦，但受诸乐，故名极乐。又舍利弗，极乐国土，七重栏楯(shun)，七重罗网，七重行树，皆是四宝周匝围绕，是故彼国名为极乐。又舍利弗，极乐国土，有七宝池，八功德水充满其中。池底纯以金沙布地。四边阶道，金、银、琉璃、玻璃合成。上有楼阁，亦以金、银、琉璃、玻璃、砗(che)磲(qu)、赤珠、玛瑙而严饰之。池中莲华，大如车轮，青色青光，黄色黄光，赤色赤光，白色白光，微妙香洁。舍利弗，极乐国土，成就如是功德庄严。又舍利弗，彼佛国土，常作天乐，黄金为地，昼夜六时，雨天曼陀罗华。其土众生，常以清旦，各以衣祴(ge)，盛(cheng)众妙华，供养他方十万亿佛。即以食时，还到本国，饭食经行。舍利弗，极乐国土，成就如是功德庄严。复次舍利弗，彼国常有种种奇妙杂色之鸟：白鹤、孔雀、鹦鹉、舍利、迦陵频伽、共命之鸟。是诸众鸟，昼夜六时，出和雅音，其音演畅五根、五力、七菩提分、八圣道分，如是等法。其土众生，闻是音已，皆悉念佛、念法、念僧。舍利弗，汝勿谓此鸟，实是罪报所生。所以者何？彼佛国土，无三恶道。舍利弗，其佛国土，尚无恶道之名，何况有实？是诸众鸟，皆是阿弥陀佛欲令法音宣流，变化所作。舍利弗，彼佛国土，微风吹动，诸宝行树，及宝罗网，出微妙音，譬如百千种乐，同时俱作。闻是音者，自然皆生念佛、念法、念僧之心。舍利弗，其佛国土，成就如是功德庄严。
     死亡是人生最悲痛的事，也是人人都逃不了的。在临命终时，拥有无上权势的帝王，拥有亿万资财的豪富，和一无所有的叫化子，会完全一样。那时手中的权势和财富，丝毫都帮不了忙。只有念佛的人，这时才能无留恋、无恐怖，一心念佛，求生净土。同时，必定蒙佛接引往生莲邦。从此超凡入圣，直至成佛。

   阿弥陀佛四十八大愿中第十九愿是闻名发心愿，第二十愿是临终接引愿。愿文是：“我作佛时，十方众生，闻我名号，发菩提心，修诸功德，奉行六波罗蜜，坚固不退；复以善根回向，愿生我国，一心念我，昼夜不断。临寿终时，我与诸菩萨众，迎现其前。经须臾顷（顷刻之间），即生我刹（国土），作阿惟越致（不退转）菩萨。不得是愿，不取正觉（不能实现此愿，我誓不成佛）。”这是阿弥陀佛对念佛众生作的保证。还用怀疑么？　　　　

   如上十种利益，经文具载，乃佛金口之所宣也。　　　　

   本文列举的十大利益，都是佛经所载，是释迦牟尼佛亲口宣讲的。既然对现生和来世都有利益，那么，无论从世间法或出世间法说，一切法门中，没有比念佛法门更重要的了。　　　　

  《观无量寿佛经》说，“至心念佛一声，能消八十亿劫生死重罪”，何况眼前的厄难还不能消除吗？

   《无量寿经》说，“我以智慧光，广照无央（无边）界”，念佛的人，弥陀常以智慧之光照其身，何愁没有智慧呢？“一句佛号，是阿伽陀药,万病总持，如果你不相信，不肯服，又有什么用呢？”这段重要的开示，今天读起来，仍然具有非常中肯的指导意义。
