佛教傳入中國已兩千多年，淨土念佛法門是數百年來最普遍流傳的法門。在眾多的法門當中，為何祖師大德一再勸眾生念佛修行，尤其是現今忙碌的社會裡，想要撥空修行談何容易？而得以在家念佛修行，乘佛願力，確信凡夫成佛的可能性。 本研究之研究目的：一、探討淨土念佛修行者之學佛歷程。二、探討淨土信仰對修行者面對生命困境時之影響。三、探討淨土信仰對修行者面對老病死課題之影響。四、探討淨土信仰對修行者生命態度與價值觀之影響。 依據研究文本資料分析、歸納與書寫，研究結果發現，研究參與者從淨土念佛修行的歷程，對於生命態度、死亡的看法有顯著改變。生命過程中，研究參與者曾經迷惑與茫然困頓不順遂的人生，心靈上遭受到挫折失敗的打擊。從淨土宗念佛修行的歷程中心靈上的轉換，唯有真誠面對自己命運、環境、遭遇等苦痛的歷程後，真正看見的自己，用心體驗生命感受生活，創造更有意義價值的人生。 Buddhism has entered into China for more than two thousand years.
