title: "雲棲淨土彙語 · 結社會"
description: "雲棲淨土彙語由清代虞執西和嚴培西共同錄編，成書於淨土宗興盛的清初時期。該書輯錄了蓮池大師（雲棲祩宏）的淨土法門開示、語錄及修行要義，集中闡述念佛往生、淨業三福等核心思想。作為淨土宗重要典籍，它系統傳承了雲棲大師的淨土教法，對清代淨土信仰的普及與實踐產生了深遠影響，是研究中國佛教淨土宗思想和修行的重要文獻。"

### 結社會

> Community Gathering

結社念佛。始自廬山遠師今之人。主社者得如遠師否。與社者得如。十八賢否則。宜少不宜多耳以真實修淨土者。亦如僧堂中人故也。至於男女雜而同社此則廬山所未有。女人自宜在家念佛勿入男羣。遠世譏嫌。護佛正法。莫斯為要。願與同衣共守之。又放生社。亦宜少不宜多。以真實慈救生靈者。亦如佛會中人故也。愚意各各隨目所見。隨力所能。買而放之或至季終。或至歲終。同詣一處。會計所放。考德論業片時而散。母侈。費齋供。毋耽玩光陰。可也。願與同衣共守之。

> \*\*On Forming Societies for Reciting the Buddha's Name\*\* The practice of forming societies to recite the Buddha's name began with Master Huiyuan of Lushan. Nowadays, those who lead such societies—can they truly match Master Huiyuan? And those who join them—can they truly equal the Eighteen Wise Ones? Probably not. Therefore, it is better to keep the group small rather than large. This is because those who sincerely cultivate Pure Land practice should be like those in a meditation hall. As for men and women mixing together in the same society—this was never done at Lushan. Women should naturally practice recitation at home, not join male groups. To avoid worldly criticism and protect the true Dharma, nothing is more important than this. I hope fellow practitioners will uphold this together. \*\*On Societies for Releasing Life\*\* Furthermore, societies for releasing life should also be kept small rather than large. This is because those who sincerely save living beings out of compassion should be like those in a Buddhist assembly. My humble opinion is: each person should, according to what they see daily and within their means, buy and release beings. They may gather once at the end of the season or at the end of the year at a single place to count what has been released, examine their practice, discuss their efforts, and then disperse after a short while. Do not squander on lavish vegetarian offerings or waste time in idleness. This is acceptable. I hope fellow practitioners will uphold this together.
