Turn On the Light
When we enter a dark room, the first thing we do is turn on the light. Then we attend to other things – boil water, wash clothes, read books. Our hearts are also like a darkened room. First we turn on the light of belief; then we can methodically and clear-mindedly live our lives.
Most people spend their lifetimes in the dark. They dodder along, tripping and hurting themselves. By the time they start caring about beliefs, they are already advanced in years, in their fifties, sixties or seventies. Still, better late than never. How many people never switch on the light of belief, stumbling from darkness to darkness their entire lives?
In fact, it isn’t hard at all for us to turn on the light of the spirit. So long as we believe in Amitabha Buddha and recite his name, his Buddha-light will shine on us. Our tongue is the switch. Why not recite and turn it on?
