Distances do not exist when we have Namo Amitabha Buddha by Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong
有了南無阿彌陀佛，便沒有了距離
文：淨宗法師
Two men are like two stars in the sky.
Looking at them from afar, they seem very near, just as if they are overlapping.
Actually, they are very far apart, a few hundreds of millions light years apart.
Besides, they always stand at their location. They will not come together forever, nor communicate with each other.
The distance of one mind and another mind is very far apart.
Other than ‘Namo Amitabha Buddha the six syllables Name, we have no other ship to sail from my mind into other’s mind. Once we have ‘Namo Amitabha Buddha, there is communication between one mind and another mind, between a man and another man, between a man and the Buddha, between man and nature, between the defiled land and Pure Land. The three periods of time in the ten directions, all the existences will combine into one.
Otherwise, the universe, the mind of man will be broken pieces forever, with leakages and cracks.
All living beings are pressurized by loneliness.
How big is the universe? How big is the Dharma realm? How big is the mind?
What is the distance between a man and another man, man and the Buddha, the past and present?
How far apart are they?
The answer is only in the six syllables Name, Namo Amitabha Buddha.
With the internet connection, our earth becomes one village.
With Namo Amitabha Buddha, there is ‘Dharma Realm Village.’
What issues would there be concerning the distance of being far or near in space, the long or short timespans in kalpas, the high and low in states, the purity and impurity in mind?
When we have Namo Amitabha Buddha, there is no distance. Without Namo Amitabha Buddha, there is the distance. This is the same for the myriad manifestations.
兩個人便如天上的兩顆星，即使看上去很近，幾乎重疊，實際上差得很遠，動輒億萬光年，而且各自守著自己的位置，永遠不能聚合、交通。
心與心間隔遙遠，除了「南無阿彌陀佛」六個字，我們決無航船可以從我心駛入對方的心。
有了「南無阿彌陀佛」，
心與心之間、人與人之間、
人與佛、人與大自然、
穢土與淨土便都溝通了，
十方三世，一切萬有便和合成為一。否則宇宙、人心永遠是破碎、裂縫，萬物皆受孤獨的壓迫。
宇宙有多大？法界有多大？人心有多大？人與人、人與佛、古與今相隔多遠？答案都是「南無阿彌陀佛」六個字而已。因特網構成了「地球村」，南無阿彌陀佛建構的是「法界村」，又何關乎空間的遠進、時劫的久暫、境界的高低、人心的淨穢呢？
有了南無阿彌陀佛，便沒有了距離。沒有南無阿彌陀佛，便有距離。一切萬物皆如此。
A comment by oridharma:⠀
The earth is a village with the internet connection. The Dharma realm is accessible with Namo Amitabha Buddha
Without Namo Amitabha Buddha, we are always in the dream, a dream with many differences, differentiations, obstacles and hindrances. With Namo Amitabha Buddha, we will wake up from our dreams and dwell in the genuine state of the Buddha.
有了因特網，地球成立一个村荘，有了南无阿弥陀佛，法界随处通。
没有南无阿弥陀佛，我们会一直在梦中，生出种种差别，种种分别，种种障碍，种种不如意。有了南无阿弥陀佛，我们终于梦醒，住于如来真实界。⠀感恩南无阿弥陀佛
