Q and A about Practicing Amitabha-Recitation
Part Three - Assisted-Recitation near the End-of-Life
第三部分 有關臨終助念
Question 52: Will the crying of family members or moving a dying or deceased person affect the effectiveness of reciting Amitabha’s Name to assist them?
Answer: Yes! Because this will increase the suffering of the dying or deceased person. If they are not someone who has long held firm faith and aspiration, and exclusively recited Namo Amitabha Buddha, such disturbances can easily stir thoughts of attachment or anger, which may lead to rebirth in the three lower realms.
52問：家人哭泣、搬動病亡人等，會不會影響助念的效果？
答：會！因為這樣會增加病亡者的痛苦，如果不是平時信願堅定、念佛有 素的人，容易起貪愛、瞋恨等心念，從而墮落三塗。
Namo Amituofo!
