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!”

Moreover, let's look at this Layman Zhang, Yaochang, who was in charge of the Holi Church, and also owned an enterprise. In addition, he knew Buddha dharma, and he was devoted to promoting Buddhism at his best. He offered his house, including an entire building, as a missionary church, where people used it for preaching dharma all year round. He also established a Buddhist family according to what Master Li had advocate and attached great importance to the education of his children.

Furthermore, he has offered Chinese cultural enlightenment courses for a long time. Especially, he is a layperson who is dedicated to helping with chanting. He believes that helping with chanting is the most crucial moment in a person's life. Therefore, the scheduling of the lotus friends who help chant in his church is the strictest.
If you bring forth the resolve for helping with chanting. You can't just sign it in name only. You have to check in when receiving a notification. If you're absent a couple times and then have trouble afterward, we might not come. So, it's our blessing if we are able to help with chanting. It is our unparalleled honor to receive chanting help from others. That's why he says, You should not be slack in helping with the chanting, which is very strict, and you have to be determined.

Hearing to help with chanting, as Teacher Li said, It's blessing that comes to you. People only bother you once in a lifetime, and that's the last time. As a result, when he was reborn, many people came to help him with chanting because of his great merit in helping others. We heard the news in Taichung and rushed there too. We really had good affinity. I had not idea how long they had chanted, his house was full of people who are helping chant. We then invited the Buddha pictures out. We went in and set up the Buddha pictures.
At that time, he was so weak that he slightly closed his eyes, but still kept breathing stably amid the Buddha sound of the crowd.

We spoke some dharma, asking him to let go of everything, chant the Buddha and devote to be reborn in the Bliss. Return of your own volition in the future and popularly liberate beings. Unexpectedly, layman Zhang had been chanting for so long just waiting for us to to see him off. After saying that, he opened his eyes, and I showed him the Buddha picture right away. After seeing it, he closed eyes and passed away. In ten minutes after we arrived, we saw him off to be reborn in the Bliss World.
This is Layman Zhang, Yaochang, who is very enthusiastic in chanting help and promoting Buddhism. This is also the most recent rebirth event.
