[491] 怎样念佛才能消除恶业，使病愈身安？
[491] How [To] Recite [Āmítuó]fó[‘s Name To Be] Able [To] Eliminate Evil Karmas, Enable Sickness [To] Heal, [And The] Body [To Be At] Peace?
◎ 心中常须存恭敬心，如对佛前，如堕水火，以求救援，绝不敢起一念不正当之心。从日至夜，睡着则任他去，醒来即接着念。以念佛为自己本命元辰，便可消除恶业，增长善根，可望病愈身安。
◎ [Summary]: [The] mind within constantly must retain [the] reverent mind, like facing before [the] Buddha, like falling [into] water [and] fire, with seeking salvation, absolutely not daring [to] give rise [to the] mind that [is] improper. From day until night, [when] falling asleep then allowing that [to] be, [when] waking up immediately continue [to] recite. With reciting [of Āmítuó]fó[‘s name (阿弥陀佛)] as one’s life’s original destiny [for realising self-nature], then can [there be] eliminating [of] evil karmas, increasing [and] growing [of] good roots. Hopefully, [there] can [be] sickness healing [and the] body [at] peace.
彼既不能动，则终日以志诚心念佛，或大声，或小声，或心中默念皆可。
Those already not able [to] move, [should] then all day with sincerity [and] single-mindedness recite [the] Buddha[‘s name], perhaps loudly, or softly, or within [the] mind silently reciting, all can [be practised].
从日至夜念佛
[59] [From] Day Until Night [Be] Mindful [Of The] Buddha
出声念，则可念六字【南无阿弥陀佛】。
[When] aloud reciting, then can [there be] reciting [of the] six words (Námó Āmítuófó).
心中默念，字多难念，宜念四字【阿弥陀佛】。
[When with the] mind within silently reciting, [as with] words many [is it] difficult [to] recite, [it is] suitable [to] recite [the] four words (Āmítuófó).
从日至夜，睡着则任他去，醒来即接着念。
From day until night, [when] falling asleep then allowing that [to] be, [when] waking up immediately continue [to] recite.
以念佛为自己本命元辰，决不片时放舍，庶可超凡入圣，了生脱死，往生西方矣。
With reciting [of the] Buddha[‘s name] as one’s life’s original destiny [for realising self-nature], definitely not [for] a short time letting [it] go, hopefully can [there be] transcending [of the] ordinary [to] enter [the] noble, [to] liberate [from the cycle of] birth [and] death, [with] rebirth [in the] Western [Pure Land Of Ultimate Bliss].
