Metaphor 27: Amitabha’s Deliverance is Like Medicine that Works Spontaneously on All Patients
Amitabha’s deliverance is like medicine that is formulated to cure the sick. The medicine works spontaneously, without discrimination, on patients who take it willingly or not. The effect of the medicine is the same whether the patient is male or female, old or young, good or evil, wise or ignorant.
27. 如藥自然喻
彌陀救度如同藥物,藥物沒有分別心。藥,不論男女老幼、善惡賢愚,不管是主動歡喜吃下去,還是被迫不情願地吃下去,藥都自自然然地、沒有差別地在他身上產生功效。
Namo Amituofo!
