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 56 : At the time of death, will demons come and disguise themselves as Amitabha Buddha?
Answer: No, they will not! Because the time of death is not a moment that attracts demons. Moreover, when a person who recites Namo Amitabha Buddha is at the end of life, Amitabha, together with Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta, and many great bodhisattvas, will protect them with their light and divine power. No external demon can draw near. It is like standing under the midday sun—there can be no shadow.
56問：臨終時會有魔來變作阿彌陀佛嗎？
答：不會！因為臨終非招魔之時，況且念佛人臨終有阿彌陀佛、觀音勢 至諸大菩薩光明神力加護，一切外魔不得靠近。如正當午日之下，不可 能存有陰影。
Namo Amituofo!
