《除障祈愿网络共修》第五天，噶玛列些林佛学院的喇嘛、堪布、老师和学僧等众在法王带领下一起修法。
法王开示：
I hope all of you are doing well.
大家好。
Today is the fifth day of the Aspirations to End Adversity.
今天是除障祈愿共修的第五天。
Today, the texts we will recite together are an Amitayus Sutra and Karma Chakme’s Aspiration for Rebirth in Sukhavati.
今天大家要一起念诵的是《阿弥陀佛鼓音王陀罗尼经》和《恰美极乐愿文》。
The sutra of the Essence of Immeasurable Longevity and Wisdom is one of several sutras of the Buddha Amitayus in the Kangyur.
《阿弥陀佛鼓音声王陀罗尼经》是西藏《甘珠尔》当中和阿弥陀佛有关的几部经文当中的一部。
The Buddha Amitayus is one of the most well-known buddhas of all the buddhas mentioned in the Mahayana sutras.
阿弥陀佛是大乘经典提到的诸佛当中最著名的一尊佛。
In Chinese Buddhism,there is the Pure Land tradition.In this tradition, the Buddha Amitabha is the main focus of practice.
中国佛教的净土宗，主要就是修持弥陀法门。
The practice of Amitabha is easy to do and has great blessings,so it has spread widely among the public.
弥陀法门容易修持，具大加持，因此为普罗大众所修持。
Amitabha is probably the only buddha of the Mahayana to whom a specific lineage is devoted.I don’t think there is any other.
依据一尊大乘佛陀而形成宗派的，大概只有阿弥陀佛。
Though there is no separate Pure Land tradition in Tibet,there are countless teachings and practices of Amitabha that come from the Kangyur,Terma,and Pure visions.
藏传佛教当中，弥陀虽然没有形成一个独立的宗派，但是各种弥陀相关的教言、伏藏和净观法门是极为丰富的。
Among them,the ones everyone considers authoritative are the sutras and dharanis of Amitayus in the Kangyur.
其中，大家公认的就是出自《甘珠尔》的阿弥陀佛的经典和咒语。
The Sutra of the Essence of Immeasurable Longevity and Wisdom is,between sutra and tantra,included within tantra.
《阿弥陀佛鼓音声王陀罗尼经》属于显密当中的密法传承。
As the Sutra of the Features of Manjushri’s Realm says: All dharmas depend on conditions/They rest on the base of aspiration.Whoever makes any aspiration /Will achieve that result.
《大圣文殊师利菩萨佛刹功德庄严经》中说：“诸法属因缘，乐欲为根本，如彼所希愿，获果亦如是。”
The amazing, wonderful pure realm of Sukahavati arose because of the aspirations of the Buddha Amitabha,it is said.
阿弥陀佛因他的大愿，成就了殊胜不可思议的极乐净土。
Thus we should also,even within our present daily lives,take up the intention to help others,foster a good motivation,and take care of the natural environment and animals.
因此我们在现实生活当中也应当怀有利他的良善动机，关怀大自然，爱护动物。
If we do so,we can create a small Sukhavati around ourselves.
如果我们这么做，那么我们就是在建立一个小小的极乐世界。
These days,we face many severe,perilous environmental crises such as climate change.
现在气候改变、环境危急得情况层出不穷。
Scientists see this an lead us by the hand to show us,but if we lack the motivation and courage to change,it cannot be of much benefit to our actual situation.
虽然科学家们都指证历历，大声疾呼，但是我们改变的意愿和力道还是太小，对于实际情况的改善，是没有多大的助益的。
We might think that we can just ruin this earth and then go off to some other pleasant place,but I don’t think that karmic cause and effect works that way.
如果我们恣意地破坏环境，妄想还有另外一个舒适的地方可以前往，我觉得这样的想法和行为，是违背因果的。
This earth of ours doesn’t belong just to our generation.It doesn’t belong just to humans.Either we can transform this earth into a pure realm for future generations and other sentient beings,or we can transform it into a hell.
因此我们这个地球不仅是我们这一代人的净土，也不仅是人类的净土，为了今后生生世世的人类，还有其他的生命体，我们要让地球称为净土还是地狱。
It’s in our hands right now.
现在就掌握在我们的手中。
We all must do as Amitabha did and make vast aspirations for the sake of other beings,make a strong commitment,and strive to benefit others.
我们应该效法阿弥陀佛，发起利他的大愿，发起誓言，尽力利益他人。
I think this is a crucial point of the teachings on Amitabha.
我觉得，这就是修持弥陀法门得重点之一。
Next,please join me in reciting the Amitayus Sutra and the Sukahavati Prayer with the kind intention of bringing benefit to all sentient beings.
接下来，我们带着利益一切众生的善心，念诵《阿弥陀佛鼓音声王陀罗尼经》和《恰美极乐愿文》。
