今天仁波切繼續給大家做了“極樂天法長軌”的口傳。在此儀軌中,阿彌陀佛淨土的美妙環境被非常清晰地闡釋了。同時,在他方無量佛國中,有無量的佛也在同時宣說著阿彌陀佛以及極樂的功德。任何眾生只要聽聞阿彌陀佛的名號或故事,只要片刻生起菩提心,即種下了往生阿彌陀佛淨土的種子。
仁波切再次談到往生淨土的四因:
1、 生起菩提心
2、 聚焦于淨土及阿彌陀佛(亦即皈依)
3、 積累福德和智慧二資糧
4、 迴向往生淨土
投生於阿彌陀佛淨土的眾生不會死亡,會一生学习,直至成佛。除非為利益其他道的眾生而發願投生到其他的道中。投生於淨土的眾生會在蓮花中化生。投生在這樣的蓮花中間,有人就生起疑惑,那麽蓮花就不會開。
這個時候,仁波切給我們一個小建議:在投生中陰中,如果確定自己已經死了,這個時候憶念起阿彌陀佛淨土是至關重要的。不需要有特殊的位址,只要生起一個想要投生淨土的心願就可以到達淨土。心的速度是即時的。頃刻你就會來到你感到有特別連接的一朵蓮花前。你的身體會即刻發生轉化。如果你沒有懷疑,蓮花就會開放,你就會親見阿彌陀佛,並在淨土領受阿彌陀佛的教法。
阿彌陀佛淨土最大的功德就是不揀擇:任何人只要願意投生,都可以前往。除非犯了五無間罪或者捨棄了佛法的眾生。
持誦極樂天法長軌也是積累資糧的很好的方法。為亡者念誦也很有利益。
這就是我們最後一天的教法。

Today, Rinpoche continued to give oral transmission of The Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra.
Conditions of Amitabha Pure Land are given in detail. Apparently, there are many universes in different directions, and there are buddhas also giving teaching about Amitabha Pure Land at the same time. Whoever hears Amitabha’s name or heard about his story, with one moment of inspiration in arousing bodhicitta – the seed to be reborn in Amitabha Pure Land is already planted.
Rinpoche reiterated on the four causes to be reborn in Amitabha Pure Land: Bodhicitta, focus on Amitabha and Amitabha Pure Land (Refuge), accumulation of two virtues: merits and wisdom, and dedication to be reborn in the Pure Land.
Sentient beings in Amitabha Pure Land do not die, they have one life and then Buddhahood. Exceptions are those who aspire to be born in another realm with an aim to help sentient beings of those realms. Beings in the Pure Land are born in big lotuses on lakes. When being reborn in the Pure Land, some beings suddenly have doubts, and the lotus will remain unopened. At this point, Rinpoche gives us one reminder. In the bardo of becoming and having confirmed that one is dead, it is crucial that we remember Amitabha Pure Land. There is no need to have the address, just a wish will take us there! Speed of the mind is instant. In no time you are in one of those lotuses that you feel connected to you. Your body will be immediately transformed. When you have no doubt, the lotus will open and you are there! You can receive Dharma teaching from Amitabha there and then.
The most important quality of Amitabha Pure Land is that it is non-discriminative: anyone can go - as long as you have the wish. Exceptions are those who bear the five extreme bad karmas or those who have given up the Dharma.
Reading The Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra is also a good way to accumulate merits. It is also beneficial to read the Sutra to deceased people. This takes us to the end of the last day of teaching.
