Question: Answer:
It is a good thing that your husband allowed you to set up an altar at home. You should take advantage of it and bow to the Buddha for an hour every day. Make time for it. You will eventually find that the bowing time makes up for increased peace of mind and well-being. Then you should go to the temple and request to be taught how to recite the Buddha’s name. You can do this all day without going to the temple, while doing the household chores. Whenever you have the chance, go to the temple and create more merit and virtue: recite sutras, bow repentances, recite the Buddha’s name, volunteer your time and make offerings. When your husband scolds you, you should bow more sincerely at the altar and repent for your past offenses toward him that causes him to be mean to you. If you wish to attain rebirth to the Pure Land this lifetime, you must recite the Buddha’s name more earnestly and create more infinite blessings with the Triple Jewel. |
