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!”

Next, let's see this venerable layman Dongliang Lai. He was the first lotus friend that Teacher Li met when he came to Taiwan. He was also a Chinese medical doctor. He was kind of believe in Buddhism but couldn't find a good teacher. So virtuous intellectuals are hard to find. It is indeed difficult to find a virtuous person with knowledge of Dharma. He looked everywhere but couldn't find one. and his earnest got respond to meet Teacher Li. Just like a fish meets water. It's the most joyful thing in a lifetime. Then he was devoted to supporting Teacher Li's mission. In the early days, Buddhism was not as popular as it is now.

After learning Buddhism, he regretted that his whole family had not yet fully practiced Buddhist chanting. In addition, he also wrote some key notes on Pure Land Buddhism. I read his notes and he said that he would rather go to the Pure Land and do hard labor for Amitabha than enjoy a wealthy life in the Saha world. In fact, Amitabha cannot offer you a labor work over there. It just shows his determination for rebirth. Our Teacher Li established the Lotus Society, the first Buddhist society in Taiwan, also established the first Buddhist hospital, Bodhi Hospital. There is a prayer room inside. If this person can't make it, no further unnecessary interference, send him to the prayer room.

This Layman Lai was so blessed that he is the first user of the prayer room. Now our Bodhi Hospital has built another building with a prayer room. After it's finished, the business is prosperous. So people feel the same way. After a lifetime of hard work, who doesn't want a happy ending?If you were here, what would you most like to hear? Wailing or Buddha's name. We thank Layman Lai who supported Teacher Li's mission for promoting dharma and benefiting beings when he was alive. In addition, due to his devotion to reciting the Buddha, after his rebirth,

his descendants also resolved to recite the Buddha. It's rare that they really work hard. We wish him reborn with peace and come back soon with his volition.
