「彌陀法會」是以稱念阿彌陀佛聖號為主,是淨土宗最重要的實踐法門之一。念佛法門緣起於頻婆娑羅王及韋提希夫人被自己的兒子阿闍世幽閉大牢,心生悲苦,慨嘆娑婆世間之罪孽綿延無期,堪苦受罪。故佛陀為其夫婦開示解脫法門,以念佛求得一心不亂,證得念佛三昧而得大自在。
佛經云:「念佛一聲,罪滅河沙;禮佛一拜,福增無量。」在這繁忙的生活中,我們的心念時刻為家庭、事業、金錢等等而忙碌,卻忽略了與我們朝暮相處的真心,也就是人人本自具足的佛性。
念佛是最容易的修行法門,藉由念佛,可以讓我們集中意志、統一精神,用正念對治妄念,息滅妄心。念佛也等於念自己的心,你不斷念,念到最後,會把心念得明白,念得清淨,會明白自心是佛,即佛即心。
According to the sutras, “Reciting the Buddha’s name gains limitless merits; making a full bow to the Buddha eradicates endless unwholesome karma.” The merits of reciting the Buddha’s name are truly auspicious because it helps people realize their intrinsic Buddha-nature, eradicate defilements and be reborn to the Western Pure Land.
The merits will be transferred to the departed loved ones of participants for rebirth into the Pure Land, and to wish world peace and good health of all humankind.
