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
Q: If a person dies an untimely or sudden death, can they still attain rebirth through assisted recitation?
A: Yes. In Records of Responses to Recitation of the Buddha’s Name, Volume 3, page 361 records Gao Hongbo’s death from a fall from a building; page 366 records Zhu Bifa’s death in a car accident; page 349 records Chen Weiguo’s death by homicide; and page 352 records Shang Hansheng’s sudden death. All attained rebirth through assisted recitation. These are all proofs.
62問:遭橫難橫死的人,助念也能往生嗎?
答:能!《念佛感應錄》第三集第361頁高宏博墜樓、第366頁朱必發車禍、第349頁陳偉國他殺、第352頁尚漢勝猝死,皆由助念往生,都是證明。
Namo Amituofo!
