Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

New manifestations are the result of transformation through great effort;

they are the continuation of past virtues and goodness;

they are the improvement of shortcomings and the transformation or letting go of bad habits;

they are the manifestation of wisdom, injecting new hope and strength into the past.

New manifestations, in your heart and mine, and on our smiling faces,

turn a heart that was once dark and dim into one that is bright and open;

on faces that were once helpless and hesitant, they reveal smiles as we advance towards our goals;

in this ever-changing world and human heart, we find a source of stable strength.

Everything is so different.

That is the practitioner, amidst the chanting of the Buddha-name, naturally revealing a firm faith in Namo Amituofo.

Human hearts may change, but Namo Amituofo’s compassionate salvation for beings remains unchanged;

He is the constant reliance for those who walk the path of practice.

You must hold firmly to the Buddha; the Buddha does not abandon a single person.

New manifestations represent continuing to move forward without hesitation.

Carry out the work of saving beings directly; the sooner it can be done, the sooner beings can leave suffering behind.

Be diligent in the work of saving yourself; the sooner you achieve, the sooner you are saved,

and you may follow the Buddha’s actions to save all boundless suffering sentient beings.

With compassion and wisdom as the foundation, lead beings amidst the flourishing new manifestations,

letting them have the opportunity to hear the Buddha’s teachings, to recognise and accept Buddhist education,

and to understand the importance of following the Universal Principles, Truth, and the Right Path.

Helping people adjust their hearts and actions, to have a new life and direction, is the expansion of new manifestations.

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia—the place where Namo Amituofo is residing here,

its new manifestation is to unfold the spiritual world before the eyes of the world.

This is the education of the heart, the education of the spirit through the Buddha’s teachings, and the presentation of the true state of the spirit.

Those who believe and accept this can increase their understanding of the spiritual world,

and with firm steps, advance in the direction of not grow old, not get sick, and the spirit does not die, towards the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
