无畏偈
Verses On Fearlessness
半念怕半念佛,
即非一心念佛。
全心全意念佛,
即不念恐惧魔。
To be half ‘mindful’ of fear and half mindful of Buddha, is to then not be wholeheartedly mindful of Buddha. When wholeheartedly, with the complete mind mindful of Buddha, is to then not be mindful of the demon of fear.
半念怕半念佛,
即有疑缺信佛。
应多学佛念佛,
为能一心念佛。
To be half ‘mindful’ of fear and half mindful of Buddha, is to then have doubt and lack Faith in the Buddha. There should be more learning with practice of mindfulness of Buddha, to be able to have wholehearted mindfulness of Buddha.
