为什么每天念佛还烦恼不断

Why afflictions emerge incessantly despite chanting Buddha’s name every day?

修行的过程就是祛烦恼开智慧的过程，这个不要着急，慢慢修行就是了。还有一个说法：只管耕耘、不问收获。

Spiritual cultivation is a process during which afflictions are eliminated and wisdom is enlightened. In this process, you don’t need to be in a hurry, just take your time. In other words, focus on your cultivation without asking for gains.

只管老老实实地念佛、诵经、打坐，多做好事，不做坏事。这叫“诸恶莫作、众善奉行”，还要“自净其意”，净化自己的思想和心灵，这就是修行，烦恼就会逐渐减少。

What you should do is only to chant Buddha’s name and sutras, meditate and do good deeds instead of bad deeds, which is also called “avoiding all evil deeds and implementing all good deeds”. In addition, you should also purify your consciousness, that is, to purify your thought and mind, and through this way of cultivation, your afflictions will gradually decrease.

大家平常做事、生活都要注意修行，在行住坐卧中不断克服改正自己的毛病习气，多做利及他人、利及社会的事情，不断地按照六波罗蜜（布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、般若）修行，机缘成熟时就能够证得菩提。

You should cultivate yourself in daily life and correct your mistakes as well as change your bad habits whenever you are walking, standing, sitting or lying down. You shall do deeds that benefit others and society at large and cultivate yourself according to Paramitas (including Charity, Morality, Forbearance, Effort, Contemplation and Wisdom), then you will attain Buddhahood when time is ripe.
