  nice 02-039-0599 淨土大經解演義-第599集 abt 1.33min onward http://new.amtb-aus.org/Item/39623.aspx eventually when u reached PL, u realised that Amituofo is yourself. as everything is from the mind. 弥陀大法,是无相密心中心法传承的一部大法，是能够�为终生修�的修法。其��于有相密修法,且三根普被,方便修�,能迅速得定开慧�明心�性�了生脱死�往生净土。 问：求上师慈悲，传一最易最稳最快当能得感应，且能速行�佛之大法。 　　答：最易最稳最快�佛之法，莫过于弥陀大法，此法如专诚一心修�者，七天��。到命终时，一心往生或一心求弥陀慈悲接引，或观想唯心净土�本性弥陀�我�弥陀�弥陀�我�是心是佛�是佛是心，无��就。此外�有一心�乱，多修禅定，求明心�性，自心明白之法。我心何时完�明白，何时��佛，一日�明白，一日就是众生。所谓一心�乱者，是��将心收�，���将心放开，�执著，��相，����，�于�心，�于�法，无相无行，无动无乱，寂�涅槃亦��涅槃相，是云解脱。如果是多行打�，用�将心收�而入定，此就有收心之念，�是一心，便有二心，其结果�怕�于罗汉�。如金刚�所云，应无所�而生其心，�如阿达尔玛佛，一��挂，方是法身佛，这就是一心�乱境界。此�功夫，全在�自修�，�言语所�形容，所谓��说��说者也。最易最快�佛之法，除修弥陀大法外，�有一心�乱求自心明白之法，这就是无上密宗�身�佛之大法。康�修佛者，看自己�行有无进步，是看自己之心，今年比去年慈悲一点没有，明白一点没有，今日之心，比昨日慈悲一点没有，明白一点没有。如今年今日之心，比去年昨日之心，慈悲一点明白一点，便是有进步，�则便是无进步。并�是求�佛，求飞空，求得��神通，便�于外�，�是内�矣。我此�开示，�们就是拿这个房屋大的金银��往�度康�，去�访大德，求其开示，亦没有比此�开示还�更高的方法。（记者谨按：此为上师披�沥胆，画龙点�，最为�切无上之开示欤。） http://club.fjdh.com/25370/viewspace-174202 ---------------------- �解里�有一段�：‘问：西方去此�万亿土，何得�生？答：�万亿土�出我现�一念心性之外。以心性本无外故。�仗自心之佛力接引，何难�生�’ 我现在把它写�一个应用题：‘临终人是我心中的众生，阿弥陀是我心中的佛，以自心的佛力接引自心的众生，往生自心本具��，何难�生�’这就是说，助念就等于——以自心的佛力，�接引自心的众生，往生到自心本具的��，那有什么困难呢？这是我们�去助念应该具有的信心，�去助念就是�让他往生����啊���功��啊�一定会�功的，就�有这�信心，我们自己心里�如果真的有信�愿，有信愿的心念电波�出�表现在言语行动上，就能引�众生的信愿。 http://www.bfnn.org/bookgb/books2/1971.htm /\

  sticky: Who is Amitabha ?

  u.

  :)

  a story and a quote -
  
  this zen monk is walking along the road when he sees an old lady coming the other way. knowing her to be a nembutsu-sha, he thinks he'll have some fun. "morning grandma, off to the Pure Land are we?" the old lady says nothing but nods her head. "and Amida is there waiting for you?" again, she says nothing but vigorously shakes her head. "what? Amida not in his Western Pure Land? well then where is he??" the old lady smiles and taps her chest right where her heart is, then continues on her way. "wow!" thinks the monk, "there goes a true nembutsu-sha"
  

  this small I is embraced by the immeasurable and boundless Amitabha Buddha. This has nothing to do with my small limited thoughts of whether I think it is so or not. It does not depend on whether I believe it or not. I am, in fact, embraced and saved by the boundless Amitabha. Being thankful for this, I chant Namu Amida Butsu. When we say this with our mouths, we are expressing our deep sense of gratitude. When we perform it with our whole body, it is zazen as the activity of the reality of life...When people of the Pure Land School chant Namu Amida Butsu they are doing zazen with their mouths, and when we do zazen, we are performing Namu Amida Butsu with our whole body
