生活很多烦恼?Life is full of worries — what should I do? | 净本法师开示
莲友提问:师父,南無阿彌陀佛。最近我有点纠结。我认识一位佛友,她学的是那种教人改善生活、处理烦恼的教法,也鼓励我一起学。
但我担心如果把时间放在这些次第修学上,几年都在处理生活问题,万一生命无常来了,一直未念佛,不就耽误了此生了吗?
可如果我一心专念佛号,那活着这一段时间遇到的烦恼和困难,又要怎么处理?心里在此纠结。请师父慈悲开示。
【净本法师答】
南無阿彌陀佛,
其实,一心念佛依靠阿弥陀佛,
就是最好的答案,
也是最好的方法。
为什么呢?
因为世间的问题,
并不是每一个都要去解决的;
有些问题,是“越管越乱”,
有些烦恼,是“越想越多”。
世间的事,
本来就是无常的、变化的,
我们凡夫的心
又是颠倒的、执着的,
所以问题才会「看起来非常严重」。
所以世间的问题,
很多时候
并不是要一个一个去「解决」;
世间的问题,
有时候就是不要过度在意而已。
只要不去在意,
自然就不会有这么多问题。
就像一个有味道的瓶子,
放在那里不去动,
味道自然就散掉了。
再者——
越念佛,烦恼自然越少;
越念佛,智慧自然越开;
越念佛,佛力加持越显;
越念佛,业障也能悄悄化解。
自古以来,单纯的念佛人,
像百不管老太、冬瓜和尚、实相法师等等,
都过得很自在、很轻松的人生。
不是问题变少,
而是念佛的路变宽了。
本来很大的问题,
变得不起眼了。
所以,
忙着解决所有问题;
不如忙着念佛靠阿弥陀佛更好。

【Life is full of worries — what should I do?】
A devotee asks: Master, Namo Amituofo. Lately, I’ve been feeling conflicted. I know a Buddhist friend who practises a kind of teaching that focuses on improving life, resolving problems, and dealing with emotional issues. She also encourages me to learn together with her.
But I worry that if I spend years following such step-by-step practices to fix my life, and impermanence suddenly comes before I even begin reciting the Buddha’s name, wouldn’t that mean I have wasted this entire lifetime?
Yet, if I focus solely on reciting Amitabha’s name, how should I deal with the worries and difficulties I encounter while I’m still alive? My heart is torn between these concerns. Master, please kindly give guidance.
Master Jingben Replies:
Namo Amituofo. In truth, reciting Amitabha’s Name single-mindedly and relying on Him is already the best answer, and also the most effective method.
Why is that so?
The problems of this world are not all meant to be solved. Some matters only become more complicated when we try to control them more; the more we think about some worries, they grow heavier.
Everything in this world is inherently impermanent and constantly changing. And our ordinary minds are full of delusion and attachment. This is why problems often appear to be “so serious.”
Therefore, many of the world’s problems are not something we must resolve one by one. Quite often, the real method is simply not to take them too seriously.
When we stop giving them so much attention, naturally, they stop troubling us. It is like a bottle with a smell - if you leave it alone without shaking it, the smell will gradually dissipate on its own.
Furthermore -
the more we recite the Buddha’s Name, the fewer worries we have;
the more we recite, the more wisdom naturally arise;
the more we recite, the clearer Amitabha’s protection becomes;
the more we recite, the more our karmic obstructions quietly dissolve.
Throughout history, those who practised simple, pure recitation lived very free, very relaxed, very happy lives.
It’s not that their problems became fewer, but that the path opened wider. What once looked like a big problem gradually became insignificant.
So, instead of being busy trying to solve everything, it is far better to be busy reciting the Buddha’s Name and relying on Amitabha.
Namo Amituofo.
