“Sariputra, if there are people who have already made the vow, who now make the vow, or who are about to make the vow, ‘I desire to be born in Amitabha’s country,’ these people, whether born in the past, now being born, or to be born in the future, all will irreversibly attain to anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Therefore, Sariputra, all good men and good women, if they are among those who have faith, should make the vow, ‘I will be born in that country.’”

~ Amitabha Sutra

When I obtain the Buddhahood, any being of the boundless and inconceivable Buddha-worlds of the ten quarters whose body if be touched by the rays of my splendour should not make his body and mind gentle and peaceful, in such a state that he is far more sublime than the gods and men, then may I not attain the enlightenment.

心包太虚,量周沙界

  介尔之心,居于方寸,何能包许远佛土

  介尔之心,昧者谓小达人大观,真妄无二,盖此妄心,全性而起,性既无边,心亦无际性如大海,心如浮沤。全海为沤,沤还匝海。盖真如不变随缘,随缘不变。既曰随缘不变,岂可以真妄而局大小哉。(出自《净土生无生论》)

  阿弥陀佛是法界藏身,就是法身充满虚空宇宙,又说六方有恒河沙诸佛那么多,弥陀法身已经塞满整个虚空法界,那么六方恒河沙数诸佛,坐在何处?岂非无容身之处吗?

  法身(梵语dharma—kaya,巴利语dhamma—kaya),指佛所说之正法,佛所得之无漏法,及佛之自性真如如来藏。这位仁者问得相当好,也蛮有趣的,我们应该明白,法身是无形无相的,非青、黄、赤、白、黑、蓝、靛、紫等颜色所能形容的,非大小长宽圆所能比拟的,弥陀法身固然充塞虚空,六方诸佛亦是法界藏身,充塞虚空,照理而说,应该拥挤得非常火爆才对,反而为什么不会互相挤压叫苦呢?或者挤得满身大汗呢?这位仁者啊!这就是诸佛甚深境界,不愧是真功夫!我们不应该以凡夫之情见,臆断诸佛空性世界,若以凡情测量佛境界,始终堕入我见我执,我见我执是入佛知见的大障碍,凡夫若能空我见,空我执,即能逐渐入佛见,所以,在学佛的历程,应转凡夫知见入佛知见,这是转凡入圣的根本关键所在。

  梵网经云:“转一切见入佛见,佛见入一切见。”

  法身与法身是相互无碍的,空(梵语sunya)与空亦无碍。譬如:一盏日光灯的光明照于暗室,暗室当下光亮起来,第二盏日光灯又打开,此日光灯之光明又照明在前日光灯之光明处,前日光灯之光明与后一盏日光灯之光明绝对不会相互排挤,你推我推的、你挤我挤的,当下光明与光明互不侵犯,互不排斥,反而相互包容。相互无碍、相互安住,二盏日光灯是如此,十盏、百盏、千盏、无量盏日光灯皆如是,日光灯这种美德实在值得赞叹,值得嘉许!诸佛法身与法身之间相互无碍,相互包容之美德,亦复如是。

  又如众流百川流入大海,大海不嫌一切川流,川流之水与大海之水不相排斥,反而相互包容,相互无碍,打成一片,大海之雅量,能纵容百川众流,而不增不减,始终是大海一片,容多容少自在!诸佛法身充塞虚空,未曾增多,亦未曾减少;又如虚空,挖一个洞,未曾减少一空间,虚空添塞一个空间,亦未曾增加一个空间,虚空终不增不减,虚空与虚空不相互阻碍,而能相互包容;无量诸佛之法身充满虚空,亦复如是!

  法身是解脱甚深之境,与般若性空正等相应,非凡情所能揣测得知,已超乎时度空间,非语言文字所能描述,言语道断,心行处灭,一落入知见即成障道。

  法身之德,大之无外,小之无内,大能容小,小能容大,大不碍小,小不碍大,大小亦不可得,纵横三千大千世界,自在无碍,分身无量百千万亿化身于一刹那,如是穷劫欲赞叹法身之德,终无是处。(如本法师著《佛学问答》).
