看不到佛光摄取念佛人？
有人会问：既然弥陀光明无量，遍照十方世界无所障碍，我们为什么看不见那样的光明呢？
我们之所以看不见，原因就在于我们是烦恼的凡夫，我们的眼睛被烦恼蒙住了，但，古德说：「烦恼障眼虽不能见，大悲无倦常照我身。」意思是，我们凡夫只有烦恼业障的肉眼，没有法眼，没有慧眼，连天眼也没有，可是阿弥陀佛不因为我们没有看到，就不摄护我们，他的光明还是照样保护我们摄取我们。
好比一个天生就瞎眼的小孩，虽然他看不见父母，但父母反而更加怜爱地在他面前、或在他四周保护他，尽管他看不到，但是具有爱心的父母从不舍离他，使他安心，毫无恐惧。所以，尽管我们烦恼障眼不能见到佛光，可是阿弥陀佛的光明是从不舍弃我们的。

English Translation:
Some people ask: “Since Amitabha Buddha’s light is infinite and shines throughout the ten directions without obstruction, why can’t we see that radiance?”
The reason we cannot see it is that we are ordinary beings burdened by delusive afflictions. Our eyes are covered by these afflictions. However, as the ancient masters have said:
“Even though our eyes are obstructed by afflictions and thus cannot see,
The Buddha’s great compassion never tires and constantly shines upon us.”
In other words, we ordinary beings only have physical eyes clouded by karmic obstacles; we do not possess the Dharma-eye, the wisdom-eye, nor even the celestial eye. But Amitabha Buddha does not stop protecting us simply because we are unable to see him. His light always protects and embraces us all the same.
It is like a child who was born blind and cannot see his parents. The parents, feeling even greater compassion for their child, protect him wherever he goes, whether right before his eyes or close by his side. Although the child cannot see them, loving parents will never abandon him, allowing him to feel safe and free from fear. Likewise, although our eyes are veiled by afflictions and cannot perceive the Buddha’s radiance, Amitabha Buddha’s light never forsakes us.
