如果災難來臨，我們應該念什麼？What mantras can we chant when a disaster occurs？

問：

如果發生大災難了，我們是念阿彌陀佛還是念什麼呢?

Question:If a catastrophe happens, is it the Amitabha that we chant or something else?

答：念什麼都行！只要不念世間的這些就行，只要不念財產和兒女就行。念阿彌陀佛也行，念金剛薩埵也行，念上師也行。

Guru』s answer:Any mantra will do as long as you don』t chatter about all those mundane stuff such as your possessions and children. You can chant the mantra of Amitabha or Vajrasattava or just pray to the Guru.

海嘯來了，海嘯本身就是阿彌陀佛；地震來了，地震本身就是阿彌陀佛。阿彌陀佛來了，把你接走了，不要害怕。大圓滿就是這樣，哪一個不是阿彌陀佛？哪一個不是讓你解脫？心裡不要顧慮太多，這都是障礙。

Here comes a tsunami; the tsunami itself is the manifestation of Amitabha. There is an earthquake; the earthquake itself is also the manifestation of Amitabha. If Amitabha comes and takes you away, do not feel afraid. This is how Great Perfection works. Not a thing does not present Amitabha nor a thing stops you from liberation. Do not worry too much or it will become an obstacle.

地震、海嘯是災難，今天你病倒了，疾病對你來說也是最大的災難，也會讓你死亡。和海嘯有什麼區別？和地震有什麼區別？真正把無常弄明白了，「地震」每時每刻都發生在你身上，你自己沒有感覺到而已。萬物都在剎那剎那當中生滅，剎那剎那當中死亡，有什麼可恐懼的？

Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural disasters. When you are sick, illness for you is also a catastrophe which might end your life. Is this illness different from a tsunami or an earthquake? When we truly understand impermanence, 「earthquake」 could have happened on us all the time but we just don』t realize it. Everything creates and destroys at every moment and it dies at every moment too. How would that scare you at all?
