如何欢喜信受《阿弥陀经》？
[62] How To Joyfully And Faithfully Accept The Amitābha Sūtra?
乙二、结劝
B2: Conclusive Exhortation
[经]: 佛说此经已，舍利弗，及诸比丘、一切世间天、人、阿修罗等，闻佛所说，欢喜信受，作礼而去。
[Sūtra]: [The] Buddha, [having] spoken this sūtra already, Śāriputra, and all [the] Bhikṣus, [with] all [the] world’s heavenly [beings], humans, asuras [and] others, [having] heard that [the] Buddha spoke, joyfully [and] faithfully accepted [it, as they] made prostrations and departed.
[解]: 法门不可思议，难信难知，无一人能发问者。
[Explanation]: [As this] Dharma Door [is] inconceivable, difficult [to] believe [and] difficult [to] know, not one person [was] able [to] ask [about] it.
佛智鉴机，知众生成佛缘熟，无问自说，令得四益，如时雨化，故「欢喜信受」也。
[With the] Buddha’s wisdom reflecting upon [their] capacities, knowing sentient beings’ conditions [for] accomplishing Buddhahood [have] ripened, without asking self-speaking [this sutra, to] lead [to] attaining [of the] Four Benefits, like [how] timely rain transforms, therefore [did all] ‘joyfully [and] faithfully accepted [it]’.
[Note:
Four Siddhāntas’ (四悉檀) Four Benefits (四益):
The Siddhāntas are the Buddha’s teaching methods, from the simple to the profound, for giving the Dharma to all sentient beings according to their capacities.
(1) Worldly Siddhānta (世界悉檀) for Joy’s Benefit (欢喜益)
(2) Individual Siddhānta (各各为人悉檀) for Giving Rise To Goodnesses’ Benefit (生善益)
(3) Curative Siddhānta (对治悉檀) for Elimination Of Evils’ Benefit (灭恶益)
(4) Supreme Truth’s Siddhānta (第一义悉檀) for Entering Of Principles’ Benefit (入理益)
The above correspond to the below.
(1) Hearing the Dharma (闻法)
(2) Having Faith and Understanding (信解)
(3) Cultivation of Practice (修行)
(4) Attaining of Benefits (得益).]
身心怡悦名欢喜。
[With] body [and] mind pleased [and] happy [is] named [as] ‘joyfully’.
毫无疑惑名信。
Without the least doubt [or] confusion [is] named [as] ‘faith[fully]’.
领纳不忘名受。
[Having] received [and] not forgetting [is] named [as] ‘accepted’.
感大恩德，投身归命，名作礼。
[With] gratitude [for the Buddha’s] great kind benevolence, throwing oneself into refuge [for] life, [is] named [as] ‘made prostrations’.
依教修持，一往不退，名而去。
Relying on [this] teaching [to] cultivate upholding [of Āmítuófó’s name], once reborn [in his Pure Land], not retrogressing, [is] named [as] ‘and departed’.
