Does Mindfulness Of Buddha Only Benefit Last Moments?

:念阿弥陀佛的圣号只能利益临终时吗?

Question: Is mindfulness of the sacred name of Amitā[bha] Buddha (i.e. Āmítuófó) only beneficial when approaching the end of life?

答:依据《佛说阿弥陀佛根本秘密神咒经》,在念佛的以下十大利益中,前九个能直接利益今生。因为念佛的真实利益无量无边,经中又说,‘如是功德,不可称计’

Answer: According to the ‘Sūtra In Which The Buddha Speaks Of Amitā[bha] Buddha’s Fundamental Esoteric Spiritual Mantra’, of the ten great benefits from mindfulness of Buddha listed below, the first nine are able to directly benefit this present life. As the true benefits of mindfulness of Buddha are immeasurably boundless, the sūtra also says, ‘Such meritorious virtues, cannot be counted.’
