Do not blame others. We need to have a change. -By Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong

If we truly understand the principle, that the myriad dharma is the manifestation of the mind, we will understand that we do not have the right to complain about the environment we are in, what’s more to take revenge on the society? We have no way to push away our responsibility.

This is the way to maintain a positive outlook on life. Is is because we are responsible for all the happenings, the surroundings. If we want to change, we should change our mind. This is the point we should truly understand. This is the positive way, the right way of our mind-set. Finally, the results will surely be good.

We only change ourselves. We will not blame others. We will not push away our responsibility either. This is the positive attitude to conduct our life.

If you only put the blame on others, you will say, ‘Fine, all these are your responsibilities. I am not involved in this. You can change it!’ People will not change just because you say so.

There is a saying, ‘The dependent rewards change when the Proper reward starts to change.’ We do not have the ability to change the world. But in fact, we may have some ability. That is, we change our mind-set. The dependent rewards refer to all the people, matters and surrounding that we encounter.

If our mind is bright, full of sunshine, warmth, we will travel on smoothly. The people whom we encounter are only good men, good people. That is surely the way, without any mistakes.

‘I have changed. But I did not see any changes in him!’ This only means that you are not ready to change. You only wait for him to change before you will change. This is not the way. You must change yourself first. That is the way.

This is because everything in on our side. Our mind is like a lighted lantern. Walking in the darkness, we carry our lighted lantern and wherever we walk to, it will be bright. The darkness will disappear when there is a lighted lantern. 

So, when our mind is brightly lighted, full of sunshine and warmth, wherever we may be the mind will always be bright. All the people, happenings and relations will naturally change. The people, the happenings and all kinds of relationships are a form of dependent rewards, the surroundings we rely on.

An extract from -Amitabha recitation in daily life

自己改起,不责怪人家

文 / 净宗法师

如果了解万法唯心的道理,我们是没有半点资格责怪外面的环境,更不可能报复社会,我们没有推脱的余地。

这样就会抱持积极进取的人生态度,因为这都是自己的责任,要改正就改正自心,所以这个原点就抓得非常准,这个思维点就站准了,最终的结局一定是好的。

从自己改起,不责怪人家,也不推脱责任,

这就是积极进取的人生态度。

如果都怪人家的话,“那好,什么责任都是你的,跟我无关,那你改变吧!”人家是改变不了的,不会因为你这样说人家就改变。

有一句话说“依报随着正报转”,要改变外面的世界,我们没有那个能力,但其实可能也有,就是改变我们的内心。所谓依报,就是我们所遇到的所有一切人事环境。

如果我们的心念光明,我们的心阳光、温暖,那从此以后就会一路春风,遇到的都会是善人、好人,一定是这样的,没有任何含糊的。

“怎么我改了,他还没改”,那你还是没有准备改,你要等到他改你才改,不是这样的。你改了就好。

因为这一切都在我们自己这一边,我们的心就像一个灯笼,当我们在黑暗里走路的时候,我们走到哪里就照亮到哪里,黑暗遇到灯就消失了。

所以,

我们的心如果光明,如果阳光,如果温暖,

那么走到任何地方都是这样子的,都是亮的,

人事关系自然就改变了。人事关系也是一种依报,我们所依靠的环境。

摘自《念佛的生活》

Comment by oridharma:

An Amitabha reciter transforms all his emotions, his complaints, his sadness and his terror into Namo Amitabha Buddha and his future will surely be bright and happy. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

念佛人把所有的情绪,埋怨,伤心和恐怖,化成南无阿弥陀佛这一句佛号,一定前途光明亮丽。感恩南无阿弥陀佛

The Great Path is very simple By Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong

【大道至简】文 / 净宗法师

The Great Path is very simple. The problem is mundane men love complications. They feel that simplicity is boring. So, they will use ways and means to make it complicated, so that it looks ‘rich in content’. By doing so they feel better as they are not used to simplicity. But they are leaving the Great Path further and further away.

Breathing is plain and monotonous yet every breath is new. We do not feel tasteless or trying to change it.

Sunrise is plain and monotonous yet we could feel its magnificent strength.

The sound of sea waves is plain and monotonous yet we are greatly attracted to it. No one will try to add in any man-made notes as accompaniment.

The colour of the sky is mostly plain and simple. Yet we are at awe in its vastness, its rich and incomparable profundity.

Namo Amitabha Buddha -Amitabha recitation is also plain and monotonous yet it is not tasteless.

In fact, its rich and profound content is much deeper than the empty space, the great ocean.

This is because it is our life of Buddha Nature.

Amitabha recitation is the one practice which is plain, simple and monotonous yet it is so wonderful in its simplicity. It is unnecessary to add in any decorations.

【大道至简】文 / 净宗法师

大道至简,但凡人的心总是喜欢复杂,若是简单,便觉得枯燥乏味,故它要千方百计去追求繁复,以便有“丰富的内容”好让不习惯简单的心好过一点。只是这样离开“大道”越来越远。

呼吸是单调的,但每一口都是新的,并不让人觉得乏味,想着去改变它。

日出是单调的,但总让人觉得它的力量与壮丽。

海浪的声响是单调的,但我们会听得入迷,谁也不会想到为它加几个人工音符以伴奏。

天空的颜色在绝大多数时候都是单一的,但它让我们觉得苍渺浩瀚,其深邃丰富无比。

南无阿弥陀佛 。念佛亦如是,它是单调的,并不乏味,反而有比虚空、大海更深沉丰富的内容,因为那是我们佛性的生命。念佛单一、单纯、单调,愈简愈妙,不要加任何的修饰。

A comment by oridharma:

The mundane mind is very complicated and crooked. It needs the medicine of Amitabha recitation to straighten it. Just like a crooked snake which enters a bamboo hole will naturally be straightened. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

凡夫心多复杂,曲折。凡夫需要念佛这一种药,把心拉直。犹如一条弯曲的蛇,一但进入名号的竹筒,一定拉直了。感恩南无阿弥陀佛

How to advise an atheist to believe in the Buddha?

Question: My boyfriend is an atheist. I have advised him to believe in the Buddha but he says I am superstitious. May the Dharma Master tell me how to advise him?

Answer: A beginner who has just learnt the Dharma is not advisable to speak too much as he may be lacking in wisdom and eloquence. Besides, he does not possess the aura to influence others.

You must first be able to live happily. It is the same as earning the money. Once you have earned the money, you can keep it in your pocket and spend it on yourself.

Do not show it to others and say, ‘I have money.’

Others might not be bothered with your little money.

But you can keep it and spend it happily. On seeing your carefree manner, those who have no money will surely come forth to ask for some money.

We should first be able to settle down peacefully in the Buddha Dharma, revealing a graceful bearing in life.

On seeing this, others will come to learn from you.

Next, we only speak the Dharma for those who have faith.

You should not say this, ‘Whoever I speak to should believe in me.’

We only speak to those with suitable potential.

If the potentials are not ripe, even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have come again will still be unable to transform them. So, we must first see the affinities. If he does not have faith in the Buddha, do not be worried. We speak less. If he still cannot believe, we will stop talking.

Some people feel that they are always right. With a scientific mind, they will say this is being superstitious. Such people do not have the roots potential to understand the Buddha Dharma. We will not speak more than necessary for them. Even if a Dharma Master were to talk to him, it will still be in vain. It is the same too for a Bodhisattva.

如何劝无神论者信佛

问:我劝男友信佛,他是无神论者,说我是迷信。请问法师如何和他说?

答:初机学佛的人不要多说,因为既没有智慧辩才,沉淀也不够。

首先要能够快乐地活着。

就像挣钱一样,

你挣到了钱,就先放在自己腰包里花,

不要拿出来说“我有钱”,你这点小钱人家看不上。

你放在腰包里自己花,花得很快乐,没钱的人见你这样自在,就会找你要钱花了。

 学佛,在佛法中能安身立命,生活展现出不同风采,人家就会找你学习。

另外,佛法是给有信心的人说的,不是说“我给谁说他都能相信”。说的时候,要当机。如果不当机,就算佛菩萨再来也没这个本事。所以要看缘分,如果一时不能相信,就少说几句,不必苦恼。他不相信,就不说了。有的人就是自以为是,说什么都用科学的脑子,说你迷信。不是听懂佛法的根机,这样的人就不用多说了。叫法师去,法师也不能让他信,菩萨来也没办法。

——净宗法师-摘自《听见你的声音》

A comment by oridharma:

If we the learners of the Buddha Dharma do not reap any benefits in our practice, that we are still very afflicted, we cannot even help ourselves, how to help others? So, most important is to recite Namo Amitabha Buddha until we are so happy, then we can reap a little benefit. We will then be able to benefit others too. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

学佛,自己没得到利益,还是烦恼重重,自度都难,如何度人?所以,重点是把佛号念好,法喜满满,能够自利,则能利益他人。感恩南无阿弥陀佛

The New Year instructional talk given by my alarm clock -by Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong

小闹钟对我的新年开示

文 : 净宗法师

Wherever I go, I will bring along my beloved alarm clock. At night I will place it near to my pillow, listening to its ticking while reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha to sleep. At midnight I wake up, I can still hear its sound. I recite Namo Amitabha Buddha again and fall asleep. It is very quiet and gentle. Its sounds is neither too fast now too slow. It seems to exist but at times inaudible. It was given to me by my Master who had used it more than ten years. It is my Dharma Protector, my family heirloom, my precious friend.

Today I woke up at two something in the morning and I was listening to it while reciting Amitabha Buddha. But the familiar ‘dida,dida’ sound was reciting ‘bupa,bupa’! I listened again and it is still reciting ‘bupa, bupa’(do not be afraid ). I laughed and I felt so at ease. I am not afraid at all in the embrace of Amitabha Buddha. I know it already. Why should you tell me now? Anyway, thank you! ‘Amitabha Buddha, Bupa, bupa.’

Suddenly I think of the essays about ‘time’ which I have written recently. They do have the meanings of ‘Bupa’. In this world we are surely afraid of time. We recite Namo Amitabha Buddha but we are still pressurized by time. But Amitabha Buddha has already saved the ‘time’ in the six syllables pocket. It is again tied up with the string of Immeasurable Lifespan. The tiger of impermanence is very frightening but it has been kept in the cage, locked up with key and chains. In fact, we should not be afraid. My little alarm clock can read my mind. That is why it assures me, consoles me. I feel so fortunate because it also confirms my acknowledgement.

I continued to recite Namo Amitabha Buddha as it was still early. I could sleep again. In every recitation, the ‘bupa, bupa’ was changed into ‘buman, buman’ (not too late.) This time I could understand faster. ‘You are right. What I am afraid is there is no time to do the work, to finish all the work. I am afraid I cannot accomplish my plan. I am afraid the work on Dharma propagation is too slow. But all these worries are unnecessary. It is because the one behind all the work is Amitabha Buddha. Nothing is really slow. ‘From now onwards I can take my time to eat, to walk, to talk and to do my work. Whether I am used to it or not, this is another issue. My alarm clock has already told me, ‘Amitabha Buddha, do not be afraid, not slow at all.’

This happened early in the morning, the last day of the year 2014. My alarm clock told me this. It knows my mind.

In this life, I remember two renewals. The first time is when I heard about the rescue of Amitabha Buddha. That is a great renewal. This time I investigate the time again and I have released myself from the bondage of time. This is a small renewal.

The word ‘new’ is a good word. It is very cosy and cordial.

Excitement is not a representation of new. Busyness, calendars, having new ideas do not represent new. It is because ‘New’ is not outside. It is inside. When it is new, it grows out from inside, just the same the sprouts on a thousand years old tree.

小闹钟对我的新年开示

文 : 净宗法师

不论走到哪里,我都会带着我心爱的小闹钟。晚上放在床枕边,听着她的声音念佛入眠;半夜醒来,同样听着她的声音,再念佛,再入眠。她安静、温和,若存不存,不紧不慢。尤其是她是上人送我的,上人用过几十年,她是我的护法神,我的传家宝、好伙伴。

今天凌晨两点多醒来,还是听着她念佛,怎么听见平常的“嘀嗒、嘀嗒”变成“不怕,不怕”,再听,还是“不怕,不怕”。我笑了,好安心,在弥陀的怀里当然不怕,我早知道,何必现在告诉我。好吧,谢谢!“阿弥陀佛,不怕、不怕……”

忽然想到最近连写了几篇与时间相关的短文,确乎是“不怕”的意思。人在世间没有不怕时间的,虽然念佛,也常觉得时间的催逼,但阿弥陀佛已经把时间收进了六字名号的袋子中,又扎上了无量光的绳索,本来可怕的无常之虎已经关进笼子,加了锁,当然不必再怕。我的小闹钟,她知道我的意思,所以这样肯定我,安慰我,我还是很欣慰,毕竟我的自肯也得到了他肯。

我还是念佛,时间尚早,还可再睡一觉,念念之间,“不怕,不怕”又变成了“不慢,不慢”了。这一次我觉悟很快:“是啊,怕就是怕慢,怕来不及,怕完不成计划,怕弘法利生事业进展慢。这些都是多余的。有弥陀做主,没有什么是慢的。”从此我可以悠悠闲闲吃饭,走路,说话,做事,习惯不习惯,另当别论,我的小闹钟已经告诉我:“阿弥陀佛,不怕,不慢。”

在 2014 年最后一天的凌晨,我的小闹钟向我说了这些,她知我心。

有生以来,我只记得两次新,一次是初闻弥陀救度,那一次是大新;这一次对时间重新审视,摆脱时间的逼缚,这是小新。

“新”是一个很好的字,很温馨,很亲切。

兴奋不代表新,

忙碌不代表新,

日历不代表新,

变换花样不代表新。因为新不在外面,

新只在里面,新是从里面新到外面,如千年老树长出新芽的样子。

A comment by oridharma:

Every recitation of Namo Amitabha Buddha is renewing our life towards bliss, leaving sufferings. All Amitabha reciters are celebrating New Year every day when the false thoughts are replaced with the Buddha’s Name. This is the Genuine Auspiciousness. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

每一声南无阿弥陀佛都是新生命的出现,是走向快乐之道,是离苦之道。所有念佛人每一天念佛,每一天都把妄想换成佛号,每一天都在过年。这是最吉祥的。感恩南无阿弥陀佛

A letter of guaranty to attain a rebirth

Our recitation of Amitabha Buddha to attain a rebirth is guaranteed.

We have the letter of guaranty, that is the six syllables of ‘Namo Amitabha’.

As Amitabha reciters, if we are still worried about our attainment of a rebirth, it means that we are carrying the letter of guaranty signed by Amitabha Buddha and yet we still feel insecure!

This is truly pitiful.

We still go and look for Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Earth Store Bodhisattva, this bodhisattva and that bodhisattva.

Is not this very stupid? Look, we are holding the letter of guaranty signed by Amitabha Buddha, that is ‘Call my name and you are guaranteed of a rebirth! -signed By Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Yet you go and ask Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, ‘Guan Yin Pusa! Do you think the letter signed by Amitabha Buddha is valid? I will call your name. Please add in your signature on this letter! I feel safer this way. My attainment of a rebirth is more secured.’

Will Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva dare to sign the letter? Will he sign the letter? What answer do you expect from Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva? No answer can be expected because of your stupidity!

Kindness and compassion mean to give the emergency rescue, excepts the five rebellious acts, the slanders of the Proper Dharma.

As it is stated below, the exceptions for the five rebellious acts, the slanders carry very profound meanings.

Superficially, it seems that living beings who have committed the five rebellious acts, who have slandered the Proper Dharma will not be saved. In actuality, it means the mundane offenders are given the priority as they need to be rescued first. It is like the emergency ward in the hospital which is meant for the acute patients. The mundane men who have committed the offences are heavy in afflictions. They are very ill. So, priority is given to them, to save them first. By Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong- an extract from the Dharma teachings on the 18th Vow

📿 往生保证书

我们念佛往生是有保证的,

我们有保证书──六字名号

就是我们的往生保证书。

有人念着“南无阿弥陀佛”,还担心不能往生;拿着阿弥陀佛签名的保证书,还觉得不保险,这不是太冤枉吗?还要去找观音菩萨、地藏菩萨,找这个找那个,这不是太愚痴吗?拿着阿弥陀佛签字的保证书──“称念我名,决定往生!南无阿弥陀佛(签名)”,去问观世音菩萨:“观音菩萨!您看阿弥陀佛签名的这个保证书能管用吗?我念您的名号,您再给我在上面补签一个吧。这样我才放心,往生更保险。”观音菩萨敢吗?观音菩萨会吗?你叫观音菩萨怎么回答你?没法回答!因为你太愚痴!

急救的慈悲──唯除五逆,诽谤正法下面“唯除五逆,诽谤正法”是有深刻含义的。从字面来看,是说五逆谤法的众生不救;实际上是说造罪凡夫要先救、急救。好像医院里的急救室,决定是救那个病重的。造罪凡夫烦恼病重,所以要先救、急救。

——净宗法师

摘自《第十八愿讲记》

A comment by oridharma

Without the guidance of the Great Master Shandao we mundane men are unable to understand the Buddha’s Mind. We thought we have to cultivate by ourselves to attain a rebirth. Worst we are too weak to practise the path and we become so worried. Now that we know it is Amitabha Buddha who has invited us to go, we become so happy when we recite Namo Amitabha Buddha. Finally, we attain a rebirth happily. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha.

如果没有善导大师的教导,我们凡夫不能体会阿弥陀佛的苦心,终是要靠自力,自己又做不到,心里很急。现在知道是阿弥陀佛邀请我们去,就会快快乐乐的念佛,快快乐乐的往生了。感恩南无阿弥陀

Like a servant who relies on his Master, everything is decided by his Master. So, many of us take refuge in Amitabha Buddha. You said that he had not taken refuge in the Buddha. He would say he had. If you said that he had taken refuge in the Buddha, many a times he would take back from the Buddha, ‘I will decide by myself.’ His mouth had said that he had taken refuge in the Buddha, actually, he would still make the final decision in all matters. He would even ask the Buddha to listen to him, ‘When are you coming to fetch, Buddha?’ If you have given up yourself to the Buddha, you should just let the Buddha decide. It is fine if you can live until 120 years old, or that you will die tomorrow, it is still ok.

The problem is we will again list out our demands, conditions, ‘Amitabha Buddha, I have taken refuge in you. You should make sure that I could become very rich! If you do not want to guarantee this, I will take back my refuge.’ He says, ‘I have taken refuge in you, so, please bless me so that I can stay safe. You must also bless my children. You must also take care of my emotion when I am reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha. You should also bless me so that I will know my time of attaining a rebirth in advance.’

It does not mean that the Buddha is unable to bless you for your safety, that the Buddha cannot let you know you time of departure in advance. This is not the way. As long as you are taking this as a business deal with the Buddha, a transaction, you have not given yourself up to the Buddha. The possibilities are whatever that you ask will not come true because your life is still in your hand.

Life and death are impermanent. The one who leads a life without Amitabha Buddha is indeed a loss soul. He resembles the dust in the air. Where will he be able to find a place of landing? May all of you understand this point, give up your impermanent life thoroughly in this present instant to take refuge in Amitabha Buddha.’ Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Amitabha Buddha…’ By doing so, there is a standpoint in your life.

An extract from the Dharma teaching on the words of endorsement on the Primal Teachings of Contemplation Sutra-029 By Dharma Master Shi Jing Zong

像仆人归依主人,他一切由主人做主。所以,我们很多人归命阿弥陀佛,你说没有归嘛,他说也归了;你说归了嘛,他随时又向佛讨回去,“我自己做主”。口中喊归佛,实际上件件事还是自己说了算,甚至还要佛来听他的,“你什么时候来接我啊?”你归命于佛了,就让佛处置,活120岁也好,明天死了也行。

但我们又列出了很多的清单、条件:“阿弥陀佛,我归命你了,你要保证我发财啊!你不保证我发财,我就拿回来”,“归命你,要保佑我平安,你还要保佑我的子女,你还要保佑我念佛时候的心情,你还要保佑我死的时候预知时至”。

不是说佛不能保你平安、佛不能给你预知时至,不是这样的;是你跟佛作交易的话,你就没有归命出去,很可能这些都不能兑现,命还握在你手上呢。

生死确实无常。生命如果没有阿弥陀佛,真的是游魂,

如同虚空中的尘埃,到哪里安置呢?

希望大家都能共同体会,彻底当下一念舍掉无常之命根,

归命阿弥陀佛,“南无阿弥陀佛,南无阿弥陀佛……”,

这样生命才能落地。

——净宗法师

摘自《观经疏楷定记》讲记029

A comment by oridharma: We have been living a life with our false thoughts from the time of no beginning. We suffer for the consequences of grave offences we have committed. In fact, we are so used to our way of thinking that we often refuse to give ourselves up to the Buddha, calling his Name. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

Only those who have seen through this are regretful and shameful of themselves. Only then they are willing to give themselves up to Amitabha Buddha.

无始劫以来,我们已经习惯过着妄想的日子。我们造作种种恶业,经历种种的痛苦,我们已经习惯我行我素,所以很难把自己交给阿弥陀佛,称念佛名号。感恩南无阿弥陀佛。只有看清自己的真面目,有惭愧心, 才肯交给弥陀处里。

Speaking generally, in the middle position of the inferior grade, it shows the benefits of listening to the Buddha’s Name.

This is the whole content of the special meaning of Amitabha Buddha’s magnificent vows.

In the Sutra of Immeasurable Lifespan, all the Buddha thus praised, ‘In accord with the strength of that Buddha’s Original Vows, everyone who has heard his name and desires to attain a rebirth will all arrive at that Land. Naturally, they will attain non-retrogression.’ So, is not this talking about the benefits of listening to the Name of Namo Amitabha Buddha? This is the power of Amitabha Buddha’s Original Vows. So, this is the special meaning of magnificent Vows. How do the meanings be reflected? These are the verses, the content in the Sutra of Immeasurable Lifespan. The special meaning of the magnificent vows is revealed in the middle position of the inferior grade when the man attains a rebirth by listening to the Name Namo Amitabha Buddha. This is truly inconceivable.

总的来讲,下品中生是要显示闻名的利益,这也是阿弥陀佛弘愿别意当中所具足的内容。比如,《大经》里诸佛就称赞说“其佛本愿力,闻名欲往生,皆悉到彼国,自致不退转”,这不就是讲闻名的利益吗?这是弥陀本愿的力量。所以,别意弘愿当中就是这样的。

那么,这个内容体现在哪里呢?《大经》这样的偈语、这样的内容,

弘愿别意就体现在

下品中生闻名即得往生,

这不可思议。

When we participate in the aided recitation for the deceased, if we are not good in teaching them, we can simply recite sincerely, earnestly phrase by phrase. Our recitation of Namo Amitabha Buddha is clear, stable and adorned. The effect is also inconceivable. This is the strength of Amitabha Buddha’s Name.

Of course, if you have penetrated the principles, besides you can teach in accord with the potential, just like the good knowing advisers of the middle position of the inferior grade, who has used all kinds of expedients to console the deceased, to lead him on. This is of course very good. Even though all kinds of words are said to guide the man at the death bed, they are not apart from the Dharma body of the Buddha’s Name itself, as they are the content of the Buddha’s Name itself. Only more explanations are given. One of them is brief and the other is expansive. By Dharma Teacher Shi Jing Zong

我们给别人临终助念的时候,如果不善于开导,不会开示临终的亡人,可以踏实、恳切地一句一句念佛,清清楚楚,稳定、庄严地称念南无阿弥陀佛,功效不可思议,这就是弥陀名号的力量。

当然,如果通达教理,也能善观机缘,就像下品中生的善知识一样,用种种善巧安慰引导他,当然更好。虽然用种种言辞引导,也不离开名号法体的本身,因为这些都是名号本身所具有的内涵,只是展开说而已,一个是略,一个是广。

——净宗法师

摘自《观经疏楷定记》讲记 344

A comment by oridharma: In the middle position of the inferior grade, it shows the benefits of listening to the Buddha’s Name. -In certain circumstances, some people might be unable to say out the Buddha’s Name. When the Buddha’s name is being recited, there are the Buddha’s lights. And with this the deceased might even attaining a rebirth on entering the lights. Most grateful to Namo Amitabha Buddha

下品中生是要显示闻名的利益-在某种情况下,有些人不能称念佛名。其他的人称念佛号时,就会有佛光。亡者也有机会进入佛光,往生净土。感恩南无阿弥陀佛
