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 66: If one is not beside the deceased; but recites Namo Amitabha Buddha for them from another place, can it help them attain rebirth?
Answer: Yes. Because the human mind transcends distance, and spiritual response is inconceivable. For example, in Records of Nianfo Responses, Vol. 3 (p. 338), Guanying was in Taiwan while his father passed away in mainland China,
thousands of miles apart. By reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha for him, his father was able to attain rebirth. This serves as proof.
66問：不在死者身邊，在別處為他念佛，能助其往生嗎？
答：能！因為人心超距離，感應不思議。如《念佛感應錄》第三集第 338頁冠 瑛在臺灣、其父亡在大陸，相距數千里，為之念佛，得以往生，即是證明。
Namo Amituofo!
