念佛

The young acolyte said,"But it is impossible to make a mirror out of a brick, Father Prior."

是这么回事"老住持继续说，"就像你只是念佛，不做些实事，也很难成佛

Generally speaking, however, they all consider it most convenient to practice Amidism, and their followers may realize Buddhahood through this practice.

但是总起来说，他们都可以以修净土为最方便，都可以念佛成佛。

To practice Amidism, one is to cultivate the spiritual life; and relying on Buddha's power and his own strength, he aims to be reborn in the Western Paradise .

念佛就是培养自己的法身慧命，仗佛力、仗自力，求生西方极乐世界，开佛知见，恢复自己的本觉性。

For a man who commits to Buddhism and fast,he surely gains little sense of happiness in the face of Peking roast duck which is renowned home and abroad, because it's not what he want to have,at the moment all that he desires to have might be merely two loads of steamed bread and a dish of fried bean sprout. For an old man living alone in the countryside,though he always receives money and clothes from his son residing in the town,which makes the villiagers envy him very much,he would rather enjoy the happiness of being with his children.For a man runs errands in the burning sun,he is badly in need of a patch of shade,a swirl of cool breeze,a fan,or a spring of cool water,he wants anything but a luxurious mink coat.Abundant as the sea is with various species and countless treasure,for a sailor,the seemly trivial freshwater is most wanted on the voyage.

一个吃斋念佛的饥饿的人，面对着驰名中外的北京烤鸭，是不会有幸福感的，因为那不是他需要的，他急需的，可能只是两个馒头，一盘素炒豆芽而已；独自住在乡下的老人，总是能收到城里儿子寄来的钱物，很让乡亲们羡慕，但老人最想要的不是这些，而是儿孙膝下承欢的天伦之乐；在炎炎烈日下赶路的人，急需的是一片树阴，一阵凉风，一把扇子，一眼清凉的泉水，而不是一件名贵的貂皮大衣；大海是富饶的，它哺养了各种各样的生物，珍藏着无数的宝藏和财富，但在海上远航的人，急需的却是普普通通的淡水。

Rich people to do good, not the old Chizhai Buddhi*, loaded to be good people.

有钱人多行善，不要老吃斋念佛，装做好人。

Has no foundation right."Ming Xiu-day-side main parameters of Zen Master" who "and the words after the Ming and Qing Dynasties Lotus, Pure Land Buddhism of the wind-sheng, the Qing Dynasty to participation," who pray to Buddha for is most prevalent.

主无对。"明代秀天端禅师主要参"谁"字，明清之际莲池之后，净土念佛之风大盛，清代以参"念佛是谁为最普遍。

In this Buddha Land, he would receive those followers who faithfully chanted the nembutsu (known in Sanskrit as narno amitabha- buddhaya and in Japanese as namu amida butsu and in Chinese as namo amitofo), a petition to the Amitabha Buddha, of whom Dharmakara would be the first incarnation, for salvation and rebirth into his Buddha Land, known as the Pure Land.

在此佛土，他将接引一切至心虔诚的念佛(梵语中的&南无阿弥塔巴佛陀耶&。口语中的&南莫阿弥达补至&，汉语中的&南无阿弥陀佛&)者，一切向阿弥陀佛祈愿的人。法藏比丘将是阿弥陀佛土的第一个化生者。他为救度世人而再生于彼的国土就称作净土。

Whereever, they all regard beleving in buddhism as supreme proudness and honor!

哪一处，都以信佛作佛念佛为至高无上的骄傲和荣誉！

That is religion and superstition, and it goes against the teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha.

如果念佛是求佛菩萨保佑升官发财，那就错了，那是宗教，那是迷信，与释迦牟尼佛讲的完全相违背了。这是我们要晓得的一些基本的概念。
