"The Great Trend to Bodhisattva Tong Yuan's Reading Buddha" said: "If all sentient beings read Buddha, they will see Buddha now, not far away; If the person who dyes the fragrance has fragrance, it is called auspicious light and solemn. " If all sentient beings often recite Buddha in their hearts, they will not be far from Buddha, and they will definitely see Buddha now or in the future. If you believe in Buddhism, you will naturally realize your mind without other convenient methods. For example, people who are close to spices will be infected by the fragrance. Chanting Buddha is also called fragrance and solemnity. "

Amitabha Buddha, the perfect awakening of boundless Buddha's infinite light, emits infinite light and shines on all beings in the tenth century. When we have a deep understanding and confidence in Amitabha's sad wish, we will always be immersed in the Buddha's light and feel the Buddha's compassion and meticulousness. When we sincerely recite Buddha, we will also emit incredible Buddha light.

There is no Amitabha in the south, that is, the source of light, the light body. No matter whether you have faith or not, whether you practice or not, whether you are a monk, Buddhist or pagan at home, whoever says that there is no Amitabha in South China will have light. Ordinary people can't see it, but ghosts can see it. If you want to be protected by Buddha's light, avoid disaster and die in pure land, you must always remember Amitabha Nanwu.

Below, we will give some examples to illustrate:

1, Asoka's Buddhist karma

The third part of the Analogy Classic, Sakyamuni Buddha has a clear cloud: the Buddha has been destroyed for a hundred years, and there is Ashoka. The people of China praised the Buddhist heritage, but Wang Yi didn't believe it. He read: "How can the virtue of Buddhism be better than others, while * * * only believes in its teachings and recites its texts?" It was he who asked the minister, "Are there many Buddhists in China?"

Answer: "I heard that Wang Mei, a Persian nun, became a monk and became a bhikshuni. She was in Xiqiao in 2000, and she said she saw the Buddha. "

As soon as the king left, he went to see Yi and asked, "Did the Taoist see the Buddha?" Answer the cloud: "Twelve."

Q: "What's the difference?"

The Taoist said, "The merits of the Buddha are too great to be measured. It's not stupid of me to express them. It can be roughly known that I was eight years old and the Buddha entered the palace, which means I was full of gifts. The gold hairpin on her head fell to the ground, and she was welcome to blame. If the Tathagata comes, it will leave a thousand footprints. Now it will shake and disappear in seven days. Chai Jin is the same color as the ground, so I can't see her. When the light went out, I got a hairpin, but I knew it was special. "

Wang Wen is very happy and open-minded.

"Hua Yan Jing" said: "There are light clouds in the pores, loud noises in the void, all ghosts are invincible, and all sufferings in hell are destroyed."

"Heart Sutra" said: "Take its men and women to get happiness. There is a big light shining in hell, and the words in the light are profound and wonderful. When you see the Buddha and listen to the law, you will become a Buddha."

The "Infinite Life Sutra" said: "When the three capitals see this light, they will know to rest and have no worries; After the end of life, they will all be free. "

2. concentrate on Buddha, and the top is full of light.

At the age of twenty-nine, my wife Yuan Xin and I lived in Chicheng Mountain. At this time, Yuan Xin was twenty-five years old. One morning, she went down the mountain, while walking in the field, while absorbed in chanting Buddha. At this time, the sun has just gone up the mountain, and the morning light shines everywhere. She happened to look at her own shadow and found a circle of light on it, shoulder-high and about two feet in diameter. It shines with indescribable beauty, similar to the round light on the back of the Buddha statue. Feeling strange in her heart, she continued to recite the Buddha while walking and looked at her own shadow from time to time. This round light is still shining, and she knows that this is a phenomenon of chanting Buddha. So, she gave it a try. Instead of chanting Buddha, she read worldly chores. At the same time, she looked at the shadow and the round light disappeared. So we can know that chanting Buddha can give full play to our original light and eliminate the darkness of karma. (Chen Hailiang's Xu Xu)

3. Mind that Tommy has a bright body (worshipping Buddha and ghosts)

A villager in Haichang, whose wife died, told his family about his life experience and the retribution of the underworld, and the family listened. Someone in the crowd suddenly thought of Buddhism and said, "If you keep doing this, why can't you become a Buddha?" Why? He said, "You missed the cause of Amitabha." Q: "How do you know?" He said, "I see you have light." The villagers don't know a word, but according to their thoughts, let them respect ghosts. What about those that have been repaired for a long time? Therefore, it is incredible to recite the merits of Buddhism. (master lianchi's Essay on Bamboo Window)

4, chanting Buddha for more than ten feet.

There are two people in Tongcheng who are guests together. I'll be buried with her when I die, and I'll return the money to my wife. The woman was suspicious and furious, and went to the front of the corpse to offer sacrifices and cry. Ghosts and companions answer questions as if they were alive, but they all testify together.

If something happens on the way, I'll read Amitabha! The ghost shouted, "don't let the light scare me!" "

The ghost said in fear, "When you recite Buddha, your chest will glow with more than ten feet of five colors, which will dazzle my soul. I can't get close to you anymore!" " Tell my wife, let me do it. I should avenge you. "

With this awakening, he became a monk.

Hey, hey! Just think about it and the nimbus will relax. Therefore, Master Shou said, "The heart of chanting Buddha is also a Buddha. You are chanting Buddha now, and you will become a Buddha when you do it! " I'm afraid that ghosts don't plant good roots and don't smell the name of Buddha, so I'm afraid. If the worshippers are fighting for this good marriage, they would rather not have a super paradise! (Master Ou Yi's "On Lingfeng Zonglun", Volume 6, Part 3, "Preface to Advise Buddha")

5, chanting Buddha, Cao Yin is now bright.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the abbot of the old mage was Guan Zong Temple. There was a monk named Zhicheng who was always worried. Over the years, he has kept many Yin and Yang, which he cherishes very much. He took it with him day and night, never leaving, which affected his hard work of meditation. One day, when he was ill, he was caught by the devil. The second ghost forced him to move the money from the front hall to the warehouse in the back hall. After moving for a long time, he sat down to rest. Zhicheng thought that he was insatiable before his death and delayed his studies. Now that people are dead, it's no use having money. He regrets it. I have no intention of being forced to move the silver. Later, the second ghost came and was very angry when he saw that Zhicheng's work was not done well. He hit his knee with a jerk, and Zhicheng felt a pain. With a cry of "Amitabha", Cao Cao suddenly ran out of cash, which alarmed the king of Yan. As soon as he asked, he knew the second ghost was lazy. Knowing that Zhicheng was greedy for silver, he was arrested for hard work, and the prince reprimanded him, so the two ghosts put Zhicheng back.

Zhicheng lived and died for a long time. He told me in detail that his heart was a silver ingot, so he worked hard to recite Buddha and repent his mistakes, and finally he was repaired. (The Law of Memories at the End of Life by Great Light Master)

6, chanting Buddha shows golden Buddha.

In Sandakan Port, Borneo, some people were disturbed by evil spirits, and good friends used tape recorders to recite Buddha to exorcise evil spirits. At the beginning, many people read with tape recorders, glanced at the golden Buddha and left in a hurry, which made people awake. After a long time, Buddhist practitioners left one after another. Although the tape recorder is on to recite the Buddha, evil spirits are constantly disturbing, which shows that the most important thing in chanting the Buddha is human resources. (The Law of Memories at the End of Life by Great Light Master)

7. The wall of chanting Buddha incense is an icon.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a woman named Fei, who was the wife of Shen Chunjiao in Huzhou Town. She was widowed early, lived on textiles and was a vegetarian for decades. Her family supports the portraits of the three sages of the West and the sandalwood master. She recites a volume of the Diamond Sutra every day, with 1000 Buddhist names, which is hot and cold continuously.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, a great plague occurred. Zhang Shimao, her son-in-law, welcomed Fei to live in his house, and she only brought a statue of loyalty and virtue. Teacher Fei lives on the first floor and comes back from class every day, hoping that this incense can go straight to the Buddhist temple.

After three years, one day, a fragrance suddenly floated in the air and surrounded the building for several days. The Buddha statues of three saints appeared on the powder wall, which were very solemn, exquisite and wonderful. Some people use clean towels to wipe the powder wall, but the color is brighter.

People from far and near were curious to hear the news, and more and more people came to pay homage.

One day four years later, she said to her son-in-law, "I want to go back to my former residence." When she arrived at her former residence, as soon as she got started, she immediately swept the grave and burned incense, worshiping Buddha and chanting. The next morning, she bathed and changed clothes, sat on her back and kept chanting. At noon, she shouted: "Buddha is coming, I have to go!" " "Say goodbye to the public and go to the pure land at the age of 73. (Towel barge by sequel)

8, chanting Buddha to become a Buddha, radiant.

Ma, a layman, lives at No.9 Lane 12, Liren Middle Lane, Huxi, Pingtung City, Taiwan Province Province. As a son of Shinto, he has been ill intermittently for more than two years. Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor western medicine works, nor does the spirit they provide. His family used to farm, and his illness was a headache, because his illness was neither serious nor light, and he was always in an uncomfortable situation. For more than two years, he was unable to work and was anxious. It is conceivable!

1982 Lunar New Year1On the evening of February 24th, when he came home from the doctor's office, he accidentally bypassed the entrance to the Dojo where the monk (whom the author modestly called the monk) hung. Suddenly, he saw avalokitesvara shining with thousands of hands on the second floor of Ursa Major Hall. He was surprised and happy. He has always regarded monks as enemies, but he doesn't care about the Buddhist Dojo at all. At this time, he actually turned over and went upstairs to find out. As a result, he only saw the monks worshipping Buddha and turned around in a hurry.

Maybe it's karma. After a few days, he was upset and wanted to come to the temple to know more about it. He told the monk what he saw last time, asked some other questions, and then asked the monk to help him so that he could recover from his illness for more than two years as soon as possible.

The monk told him, "This is a kind of karma. Only by being kind to others and doing good deeds. " He also sent him a rosary and said, "Do your best to read Amitabha." He accepted it with hesitation.

A few days later, he brought good news: "As long as you read Amitabha, you will feel relaxed and comfortable, and you will feel sad if you don't read it!"

Monks in the mountains have always encouraged him to read Buddha wholeheartedly and not to slack off.

On the second day after the Lantern Festival this year, because two other lay people came to ask for conversion, he also converted with fate after seeing it. When he converted, he trembled all over. Knowing that he was possessed, the monk asked, "Who are you? What are you going to do? "

The other party replied: "I am thirteen Pacific Insurance!"

Monk Shan thought it was those old hooligans in Taipei, so he said, "What do you want if you don't change your mind?"

"Please help me cross it, I will be very grateful!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am thirteen Pacific Insurance, the thirteenth adopted son of Li Keyong in the Tang Dynasty. Because I did evil before my death, I suffered in hell after my death 1000 years. That kind of pain is really unspeakable! Because there are still three years to live, I have been his brother for another three years. I expected him to help me, but he couldn't, so I played tricks on him for more than two years. Later, you taught him to recite Buddha, and as a result, he became Amitabha as soon as he recited Buddha. Every time I read Amitabha, his body will shine with white light, which makes me bump several feet away and makes me afraid to get close to him. I think this must be your strength, so please be merciful and help me out of my misery as soon as possible! "

"Do you know why chanting Buddha becomes a Buddha?"

"This is a question of piety." He said, "As long as a person's faith is sincere and single-minded, when you read Amitabha, you will become Amitabha;" Read avalokitesvara, you are avalokitesvara; Moreover, the current Buddha-Bodhisattva statue will also keep all diseases from invading and all evils away. "

"This has increased my knowledge!" I said, "OK, let me help you."

So the monk helped him. There are witnesses, believe it or not.

("Shi Jue Xun Xun")

9, chanting to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, radiate light.

"Life is impermanent and there is a chance to breathe" is true for me, because I had a heart attack and had two attacks in three years. Looking back carefully afterwards, when I helped kill pigs at home, wasn't it as painful as pigs?

1982 (1993), because Mr. Zhang Jinwen, then the representative of Puxin Town, asked me to help push the cart, and I caught a cold and was exhausted. After pushing the car hard, my heart ached and I fell down. According to representative Zhang, I was shocked at that time. If I didn't give first aid immediately, I was considered dead. At that time, although I was dead in appearance, the feeling of knowing still existed. Angina pectoris, coupled with the four major differences, feels like the Buddha's saying that "turtles are born without shells", and I am very painful. Therefore, I would like to advise you to read Buddha often, so that you will not lose mindfulness when you die.

When representative Zhang drove me to his home to wait for the ambulance, I could clearly hear the cries of his family and the conversation between them. As I told them in advance that they would read Buddha, Mrs. Zhang and his mother came to help me read Buddha. A wonderful thing happened at this moment. Every word they read has a wave of light in the void, and I immediately feel relaxed and no longer suffer. I also noticed that the brightness and time of the light generated by each person's chanting are different, probably because Mrs. Zhang usually has morning and evening classes, so it is brighter and more lasting. Under their guidance, it reminds me of chanting Buddha, and I find that the light of chanting Buddha is particularly bright and the longest; It is true that we only get one seventh of the merits that others have done for us in the Tibetan Scripture.

At that time, when I was physically and mentally forced, I was lucky to have their light to help me study and guide my mindfulness to read Buddha, so that I would not suffer and panic. When the ambulance took me to Zhan Heart Hospital, the hospital dared not accept me because I was seriously ill. When I was transferred to Ulun General Hospital, the doctor saw that I was exhausted and told the accompanying representative Zhang that the hospital would only be willing to rescue me if the immediate family members signed a statement. After hearing this, representative Zhang argued angrily with the doctor, meaning that if the family members came, the chances of saving lives would be even more slim.

At the moment, I listened to their conversation, but I forgot to focus on Buddhism in my impatience. Zhang alone took me to the hospital. No one helped me recite the Buddha, and the Buddha quilt was lost. This is terrible. I immediately felt that I had been in rolling in the deep. The speed is like riding a roller coaster. I keep falling, as if I were in an ice hell. It's getting darker and colder down there, and my whole body is like a knife. The Buddhist scriptures once said that "the air knife disintegrated" should describe my feelings at that time!

Fortunately, the seeds that I usually read Buddha played a role at a critical moment. In great pain, I shouted "Amitabha!" " "(Later, everyone in the hospital heard my shouting name. Incredibly, at this moment, a small light spot immediately appeared in front of my eyes, and then when I read "Amitabha Buddha in the south", the light spot immediately radiated to the whole front. People relaxed, my eyes opened and I woke up. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes, not knowing that I had bypassed the gate of hell and had a narrow escape!
