Đại Nguyện Nguyện 18 trong 48 Đại Nguyện của Phật A Di Đà : Nếu con được thành Phật, mà chúng sanh trong mười phương dốc lòng tin tưởng, muốn sanh về cõi nước con chỉ trong mười niệm, nếu không được toại nguyện, thì con chẳng trụ ở Ngôi Chánh Giác, trừ kẻ phạm năm tội nghịch và gièm chê Chánh Pháp. Nam Mô Pháp Giới Tạng Thân A Di Đà Phật Lời Khuyên Tịnh Độ (Ấn Quang Đại Sư) “ Ấn Quang từ Tây qua Ðông, từ Bắc xuống Nam, qua lại hơn vạn dặm, gặp gỡ nhiều người. Trong số đó, lắm kẻ bình nhật tự vỗ ngực là bậc thông Tông, thông Giáo, coi Tịnh Ðộ như uế vật, chỉ sợ nó làm bẩn lây đến mình. Lúc lâm chung, đa số chân loạn tay cuống, kêu cha gào mẹ. Trong số ấy, có những người trì giới niệm Phật già giặn, chắc thật, dù Tín Nguyện chưa đến mức cùng cực, tướng lành chẳng hiện, nhưng đều an nhiên mạng chung. Vì sao như vậy? Là vì tâm thuỷ trong lặng, do phân biệt nên xao động, đục ngầu, sóng thức trào dâng. Do Phật hiệu nên tâm thuỷ ngưng lặng. Bởi thế, kẻ thượng trí chẳng bằng kẻ hạ ngu, biến quá khéo thành vụng về lớn vậy!”

Subtitles:
The Buddha is the teacher of the world and the loving father of the generations. Those who devoutly convert to the Buddha can eliminate their sins. Those who recite his holy name will get immeasurable blessings.
Then there is another story of Sister Kuan Jin's third son Jinchuan, who has been trained by their mother to believe in Buddhism and realize the benefits of being mindful of the Buddha.
Therefore, after enlisting in the army and receiving training, he strictly abode by the military regulations, and recited the holy names of Amitabha Buddha and Guanshiyin Pusa in leisure time.
He often received blessings from the compassionate Buddha. Such as when swimming, he saw a white-clothed great master manifesting in the void above his head, and that was inconceivable.
Time flies, Jinchuan returned home at the end of his three-year military service, who had received good military training and education, and was a free-minded young man.
He had been reciting the holy name for three years and become a well-behaved and wise man.
After returning home, he went to the flour factory to thank the chairman and others for caring for his mother during her military service.
At that time, an employee in the factory saw that Jinchuan was loyal, simple and handsome, and she was willing to betroth her daughter to him to form a beautiful marriage.
Sister Kuan Jin saved a total of 10,000 NTD in the three years, including the retirement bonus, and used it as the cost of marrying a daughter-in-law. What an windfall to have a frugal and virtuous daughter-in-law.
Soon, he bought an old house in the north district and started his own business.
Under Jinchuan's honest and earnest management, his business thrived day by day.
Five years ago, he demolished the old house and built a new house with concrete and steel bars.
The statues of Buddhas are enshrined upstairs, and Sister worshiped and practiced day and night, enjoying the domestic bliss.
Hence, everybody said it was by virtue of the blessing from the Buddha, which was also the good fortune she obtained after changing her destiny.
