Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:
The path to become a Buddha has been pursued through many lifetimes of effort, yet none have succeeded as wished;
In this lifetime, however, we have finally seen a ray of hope and a way forward.
This is because you have encountered Amitabha Buddha, myself, and the awakened being Practitioner Su,
who each help you from different perspectives to enter the Buddha-heart, Buddha-vow, and Buddha-actions.
Have you cultivated and Patience (Endurance)?
You must nurture a heart of compassion.
When others point out your various faults, be able to accept them with a heart of gratitude.
If you have faults, correct them;
if you do not, view it as an opportunity to dissolve , and take it as a warning not to commit them.
Have you changed your personality traits, severed greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, and doubt, and ceased to let anger arise?
Have you taken the salvation of beings as your own responsibility?
Knowing suffering and wishing to leave suffering behind, while simultaneously letting compassion arise and wishing to achieve your own spiritual achievements,
only then can you save beings and help them leave suffering behind.
Sever the attachment to wealth, lust, fame, food, and sleep, and be willing to offer this body to follow the Buddha in saving countless suffering beings.
The power of a vow is a mighty force.
If every student of Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre has a vow, then it will condense into a force that resolves the suffering of beings,
a force that follows the Buddha to save beings.
This force will attract those with good hearts and good strength to enter Hsiang Kuang or return to Hsiang Kuang,
and automatically join the salvation team.
To subdue demonic enemies is an indispensable condition for the path to become a Buddha.
In the age of the ’s decline, one must rely on making a great vow, rising through one's own strength, and receiving the Buddha's ,
to pass the demonic tests.
Nowadays, the priority is to overcome being drowsy and entering space.
The main reason for being drowsy and entering space is that personality traits have not been changed,
if you can change them, there is an opportunity for improvement;
if you do not change your personality traits, the condition of being drowsy and entering space will, with age and the manifestation of karma,
become more apparent and increase.
This condition can serve as a self-check,
those who can transform and change their personality traits, stopping the and entering of space, will then have the opportunity for further purification,
to realise one's true nature and attain Buddhahood.
Effective skills in chanting Buddha's name are an indispensable condition for the path to become a Buddha in the Pure Land,
you must make diligent practice of chanting Buddha's name an important lesson in this life, so that Pure Land practice can be successful;
otherwise, the practice will lack power.
You must be actively diligent, accumulate the of Faith, Vows, and Practice for rebirth in the Western Pure Land, and you will naturally have the ability for rebirth in the Western Pure Land,
and only then will you have the capability to save beings to the Western Pure Land.
The path to become a Buddha is taken step by step, firmly and steadily.
One should have firm perseverance and persistence, to achieve success early and advance to the Western Land.
