你要知道,我们这个生命,生了又死,死了又生,自己名字都不记得,但是你要记住阿弥陀佛这个名号。“阿弥陀佛”尊贵的名字,很重要!国家的变迁,皇帝的名字都不记得了,甚至有一些国家彻底没有了,消失了,人类历史上不再记得他了,但是你要记住阿弥陀佛!这要重复一遍再重复,每一遍都要把自己的身心集中在这个佛号当中。过去祖师讲清珠落于浊水,比喻那声佛号是功德的,是光明的,落于我们无明的、黑暗的、脏乱的、有业的心里面,清珠落于浊水,久久的这样子一滴一滴往下滴的话,浊水不得不清。
You should know that our life is always inthe stream of birth and death, we even don’t remember the names of ourselves.But you should remember the name of Amitabha which is very precious andimportant. We do need to remember the name of Amitabha, even after thevicissitudes of dynasties when we can’t remember the names of the emperors andcountries having disappeared completely. You should chant it over and overagain,and each time you should melt yourself into this Buddha both physicallyand mentally. The Buddhist patriarchs used to tell us that if the clean waterflows into the dirty water drop by drop continuously, the dirty water will haveto be turned clean finally. It is something like our chanting the name of theBuddha which is meritorious and bright, flowing into our heart that is full ofignorance darkness, defilement,as well as evil karma.
