Q and A about Practicing Amitabha-Recitation
Part Four - The Mindset and Practice in Daily Life
念佛實用問答(4) - 日常心行
Question 80 : Why is it that when I recite Amitabha’s name while driving or walking, I feel that the recitation flows naturally and I can continue for a long time, but when I sit down and try to recite quietly and peacefully, I find it difficult to recite smoothly or for very long?
A: People who are naturally very active and whose thoughts are particularly lively are often like this. But there is no need to be concerned about it. Simply recite Namo Amitabha Buddha in the way that suits your normal manner. Your rebirth in Amitabha’s Land of Bliss will be the same.
80問:為什麼我開車、走路的時候念佛覺得順暢、可以念得久,一坐下來想 靜靜念佛反而覺得不順暢、念不久呢?
答:性情過於活潑、思惟過於活躍的人容易如此。不過不必介意,按你習慣的 方式念佛就好,往生是一樣的。
Namo Amituofo!
