. I will not be able to make it for the whole week but will be there at least for the last day. It really is not easy to have a 彌陀佛七 in the UK!

佛七開示錄
大師開示云：念佛七以彌陀經中有：「聞說阿彌陀佛，執持名號，若一日、若二日、若三日、若四日、若五日、若六日、若七日、一心不亂」，乃至「即得往生阿彌 陀佛極樂國土」之說為根據。但人之念佛，先要信彼極樂國土，無有眾苦，於種種依正功德莊嚴，起信心而發欣願。念佛非泛泛於口稱，要以心念佛，如執珍寶於 手，不可少忽。如是一日乃至七日，心念相續，苟有妄念萌生，即攝歸念佛而頓使妄念息滅。以不可思議功德，漸令心地清淨空明；則他日或遇煩惱恐怖貪、癡、瞋 怒，一經念佛，如宿露之遇日光，即行消滅。念佛一日二日均可，何故必以七日為期耶？蓋七日為度數之周而復始，故中國人以七日為一來復，而西洋亦習以七日為 一星期，今彌陀經文亦以念佛一日至七日為期，乃在一心不亂之剋期成就也。而禪七、觀音七、法華七、藥師七、彌勒七等，亦均於此七日寶貴之光陰中，而圓滿其 功德。當至誠一心一意執持阿彌陀佛以求由定而慧，勿令空過！
