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!”

(English subtitles) This is a rebirth example in the Land of Bliss (Sukhavati) . Lectured by The Return Thinker 思歸子.
Subtitles:
The venerable Layman Zhong, Junliang. Some might think that those who chant Amitabha all day long and seek rebirth in the West would have a short lifespan. Quite the contrary. According to what I saw and heard. Those who are dedicated to chanting the Buddha and cultivating are mostly healthy and long-lived. Why? Because they are focus on this pure and majestic Buddha's name, as the Prajna Heart Sutra said, His heart has no anxiety and no terror, and is away from averted delusion. Such a pure heart wouldn't easily induct other karmic hindrance.
1:00
Take the lotus friend, Zhong, Junliang in the Lotus Society, long-lived class as example, he is long-lived really. According to his family, he rarely visited the hospital, even he was 98 years old. He has trivial ailments but no serious diseases. Why? Because he strictly abide by the Buddhist precept of not killing life. He saves NT$100 a month from his pocket money and participates in free activities. It's not about how much money. This mindset to save living beings is the most precious. His living style is very disciplined. He plays Tai Ji for exercise and is also a virtuous and knowledgeable elder.
2:00
He ever approached the Venerable Monk Xuyun in his young age, and converted to him as his disciple. As a result, Monk Xuyun advised him to chant the Buddha. He was confused why a prominent monk of Chan Sect would advise him to chant the Buddha. Later, he came to Taiwan and met Teacher Li. After hearing the Dharma, he realized that the master was compassionate and advised him to chant the Buddha and seek rebirth. He was wholeheartedly practicing.
Half a year before his rebirth, I and several Lotus friends visited his home, asking for his revelation. At that time, he modestly said: "Teacher Li is an expert in this field, I dare not say it.
3:00
How about I say something about the way of health and longevity." We all rejoiced and praised and said, Teacher Li has been reborn at 97. You are 98 now, so you are the most eligible to say the way of health and longevity. Layman Zhong said, To achieve health and longevity, first, you must abstain from killing and release lives.
Master Yinguang said, Buddhism has been passed down for a few thousand years. Abstaining from killing and releasing lives are the primary practice. Don't talk about what great principles you have learned, you haven't even mastered the basics. You only learn the knowledge but didn't benefit from it. Only by following the teachings can you benefit from them. How much you benefit from it depends on how much you've done. There are boundless benefit.
4:00
So, Layman Zhong emphasized we must first abstain from killing and release animals. The second is to be vegetarian and chant the Buddha.
The day before we helped him with chanting, he, as a 98-year-old elder, could take the bus alone and go to the lotus society to listen to the sermon and chant the Buddha. I even walked him to the bus stop afterwards. As a result, after a few hours sleep, his family called and said he was gonna be reborn and asked us to help chanting for him. That's excellent. He was healthy and deceased without illness. Right at his home, we took turns chanting Buddha for him for a week.
5:00
The day before he was reborn, I said, "Can a person as virtuous and renowned as you be able to give us some inspiration? Leave us a golden word so that we can follow it as a practical indicator."
He replied seriously and distinctly, Chant the Buddha to cease birth and death ( or Bear the Buddha in mind to cease birth and death). That is so great. The next day, amid the pure and solemn sound of chanting Buddha, he saw that Amitabha and Avalokitesvara received him with his own eyes, and was reborn in peace. The room was filled with an exotic aroma, and many relics appeared during his cremation.
This is the rebirth story of our 98-year-old Lotus Friend Layperson Zhong.
