无量光无量寿
一句“南无阿弥陀佛”，
你能不能从中感受到温暖？
我们念佛号也应当这样。一句“南无阿弥陀佛”，你能不能从中感受到温暖？所以念的时候自己还要看：我念的这声佛号有没有照耀到我？我有没有感受到阿弥陀佛无量光无量寿的加持？这就是我们要做的功课。
——
Can you feel the warmth within this single phrase of "Namo Amitabha"? Hence, as you chant, ask yourself: Has the Buddha's name illuminated me? Do I feel the blessings of Amitabha Buddha’s infinite light and life? This is what we should work on.
有的人说，为什么要找这个感受呢？修行人不是不落感受吗？这其实是一种方便。
就像世间人，能感受到家庭的温暖，他才喜欢回家；对于我们来说，从佛法传承的脉络上，我们今天能够有信仰，乃至能够出家，都是从悟公上人这里来的；就是我们现在念的这句佛号，也是从他老人家、从善知识这里来。在佛和我们之间，还有一个善知识作为可靠的链接和传承，这多有质感啊！
Just as mortals long to return home when they find comfort in the warmth of family, for us, from the context of Dharma lineage, the faith we have today, even the ability to renounce worldly life – all of these originate from Venerable Grand Master Wu-gong. The Buddha’s name that we now recite has been transmitted through Ven. Grand Master, through wise spiritual teachers. Between the Buddha and us, the wise spiritual teacher serves as a dependable link in this sacred transmission. How substantial this connection is!
就是这样的质感和温暖，如果你能感受到，那念佛就句句都有味道，你就会多念，甚至连睡觉都会念，因为它真的会形成我们生命的皈依处。这是一种很重要的修行方法。
When you truly feel this warmth and connection, each recitation of the Buddha’s name becomes rich with meaning, and you will recite more often, to the extent of reciting in your sleep as this now becomes the refuge in our lives.
所以，虽然说找到那种如阳光照耀般的感觉，那种温暖的感觉未必是究竟了义的，但却可以成为我们通往究竟了义的一个很重要的“扶手”。一串好的念珠尚且会让我们多念几声佛号，更何况佛号的质感呢？一句有质感的佛号，会让我们“念兹在兹”，这种感觉是有益无害的。
Though this experience of warmth that is like the sunlight may not represent the ultimate realization of truth, it is an essential support on our path toward that realization. Just as a well-crafted mala prayer beads can inspire us to recite more often, let alone the feeling of warmth and connection in the Buddha’s name. A Buddha’s name filled with warmth and meaning will keep us focused and devoted. Such a feeling is beneficial and harmless.
而当找到了这种感觉，不要忘掉，持着这句佛号，皈依着它，你就沐浴在佛光中了；如果再持之以恒，变得非常娴熟，那无论走到哪里都不要紧，你就都在佛光中了。
When this feeling is found, don’t let it fade—hold on to the Buddha’s name, take refuge in it, and you will continually be bathed in the Buddha’s light. With persistence and familiarity, wherever you go, you will always bask in that light.
Namo Amitabha.
Accumulate tenderness in autumn, so that winter will give you. Accumulate tenderness in autumn, so that winter will give you.
当佛的功德入了我们的心，我们有了信仰，那念着阿弥陀佛，阿弥陀佛的光就照着我们，也就能照着众生，就怕一句佛号念得冰凉的、黑乎乎的，所以要念出光来，能安住在这温暖和光明中。炎热时，你的佛号是清凉的；寒冷时，你的佛号是温暖的，这就叫“如意宝”了。
Namo Amitabha
阿弥陀佛
As we internalize the Buddha’s merits, with the faith we now have, reciting "Namo Amitabha" brings the light of Amitabha Buddha to us and to all sentient beings. The only concern is reciting in a cold or dark manner. So, recite in a way that brings light, allowing one to dwell in that warmth and radiance. In times of heat, your recitation of the Buddha's name cools; in times of cold, your recitation of the Buddha’s name warms. This is what we call the "Wish-fulfilling Gem."
