A Businessman's Path to the Western Dharma-Nature Land

This is a record of an interview with Lomadiv Sanya, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Dharma-Nature Land. This account reflects upon his life in Poland and his transition to the spiritual realm. Recorded by the chief writer, Fa Ning, on April 12, 2026.

Lomadiv Sanya speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am truly grateful for the arrangement of these magnificent Causal Conditions. I am Lomadiv. I never imagined that someone like me—a foreigner—would be invited to be interviewed by the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. As a free-thinking individual, I have clearly heard the three speakers before me discuss the topic of how to help people in society generally recognise this temple. If you are asking me, Lomadiv, about this matter, you have certainly come to the right person!

I am Lomadiv. Although I am a foreigner, I am a foreigner with a very deep Buddhist affinity.

A Life Cut Short in Poland

I was originally born in an Eastern European country, but later, to escape the chaos of war, I fled to Poland and settled down. By the end of the last century, Poland had become a country with rapidly developing economic growth. While it may not have been as advanced or modernised as Western European nations, it was a relatively safe country with honest, simple folk. I settled there and lived a very good life. I married, had children, and spent my entire life there; I truly forged a very deep connection with the Polish people.

It is a great pity that a few years ago, I unfortunately departed from the human world in a tragic car accident. I was not very old at the time, and my health was still quite good. I never expected that a single car accident would snatch away my life. When I was drifting through space as a lonely, helpless spirit, I truly understood many truths. It was the first time I genuinely realised that the human body is subject to impermanence.

I used to be a devout Catholic, but Catholicism did not tell me how to actually reach Heaven in the end. I thought that as long as I believed in the Lord and called upon His name at the moment of death, I would be able to enter Heaven. It turns out that is not the case at all. My life ended in extreme agony. Although I had a faint consciousness at the end, crying out, 'My Lord! Oh, Lord!', the heavens did not respond, and the earth did not answer. Without any ability to control my own fate, I entered the space to which I was attached at the time, and a part of me remained guarding the space of my family.

The Shining Bus in Warsaw

I operated a small business in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Most of my products were food items produced within Europe, and I personally crafted many delicious foods that were easy to preserve. My business expanded step by step. Originally, it was just our family working together, but as the scale grew and we gained the trust and recognition of the public, we established a small company to manage this family business. Although it was not massive, I felt satisfied with my life. I had enough to eat and wear, and while I was not incredibly wealthy, I lived a very comfortable life.

I was very passionate about internet marketing and sales. Especially in recent years, I observed that most people were using online operations to promote their products, and I myself gained significant profits and feedback through these channels. Furthermore, my son and daughter were extremely talented in this area. Being young, they were very comfortable in the online society, and they truly provided a lot of help to my business.

Therefore, I can happily accept this task given to me by the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre today. As a businessman, I used to be very adept in the world of the internet. I thought that if the Buddhist education of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is to be promoted online, perhaps if I am given a small opportunity to speak, it could be of some help. Haha! I am naturally a very optimistic person. Whether what I say succeeds or whether I can gain the affirmation of Practitioner Su does not matter. I will certainly try my best to speak without reservation about what I know. After all, I was saved by Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su!

Although I was a Catholic, I never expected that the Buddha would be so compassionate. The Buddha does not just save Easterners; He saves Westerners too! This fact left me absolutely astonished!

At that time, I was drifting in the space of Warsaw, and I often saw a shining, brilliant bus driving back and forth. I did not know then that it was the bus of Namo Amituofo. Later, I heard from other beings in the spiritual realms that there was a very shiny bus in Warsaw called the 'Namo Amituofo Bus.' It travelled back and forth on a fixed route. If beings approached it and were willing to walk toward the light, they could enter into it.

This news spread throughout the spiritual realms at the time. Many beings could not truly believe it because they still relied on their previous Catholic faith and did not truly know the Buddha. But I am a very open-minded soul. I am not rigid about which religion or what method one must follow; I was not attached to being a Catholic. Therefore, after hearing about this, I went with full curiosity to see where the Namo Amituofo Bus was located.

At that moment, I saw a very brilliant light, as if it were beckoning to me, inviting me to go there. It told me directly that as long as I entered this light, I would certainly have a good life. I saw the pronunciation on it was the Polish for 'Namo Amituofo.' After I hummed the Polish 'Namo Amituofo' once, I entered directly into that brilliant light and arrived at the Western Dharma-Nature Land.

Haha! It turns out this is truly a wonderful thing! I really want to strongly appeal to the beings in the spiritual realms of Warsaw, Poland: you must believe in the Buddha! Do not cling to being a Catholic or a Christian anymore! This Buddha-light can lead you to the Western Dharma-Nature Land, which means it leads you to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. You do not have to continue living that lonely, helpless life in the ghost realm. Everyone should give it a try!

Marketing the Dharma: A Businessman's Perspective

Alright, having said that, that is the story of how I came to the Western Dharma-Nature Land. It is quite spectacular, isn't it? I think so too. I really hope that my family, just like me after my death, can encounter this bus and come to the Western Dharma-Nature Land. That would be a truly joyful thing!

Regarding my online business experience, I can offer some suggestions for the promotional direction of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Actually, what I want to say is very simple; I am a very direct person.

Online promotion must be carried out in a very concentrated and massive way:

First, when promoting, do not be timid or hesitant, and do not have any unnecessary considerations.

Second, any website, any place—as long as there are people browsing, it is a good place for promotion.

Third, absolutely do not be attached to where you must promote or what method you must use. These redundant thoughts will only create afflictions.

Especially in such a great cause as propagating the Buddha's teachings, everyone must be active, and even more active. Promote it without distinguishing between 'you' and 'me,' and without distinguishing between locations. I think a phrase everyone uses is very reasonable: 'Once it enters the ear, it becomes a seed for the Path forever.' This is exactly it. No matter what platform you promote on, there will be people who see it, and there will be beings or spirit realm beings who can be saved.

Just like how I was saved by the Namo Amituofo Bus, because I was willing to believe, I had the opportunity to be saved.

And for those who do not have the opportunity to be saved for the time being, it does not mean they have gained nothing. As long as they have seen the phrase 'Namo Amituofo' once and know of the Buddha's existence, this is 'Once it enters the ear, it becomes a seed for the Path forever,' opening a path for their Buddhist affinity in future generations. This is not a bad thing at all! Therefore, I advise everyone that when you are promoting, you must be bold and not be constrained by minor details!

When I was managing the online promotion for my food business, I used the same method. My whole family, and even the employees of the company, participated very actively in this venture. They boldly promoted it within their respective circles of friends and on various platforms, especially focusing on the European region, where we reached many different languages. Everyone promoted it very actively and massively across platforms in different countries and languages. Although there was no harvest at the beginning, as time accumulated, people's interest in my food grew greater and greater. Slowly, it spread from ten to a hundred, and my business gained scale, which is how I accumulated a decent amount of wealth later on.

The Shocking Truth of Buddha-Dharma

From Lomadiv's perspective, Buddhist education is a very profound yet magnificent education. I previously had no understanding of the Buddha-Dharma at all; I thought it was just an Eastern deity, the same as the Lord I used to believe in. But in the few months since I arrived at the Western Dharma-Nature Land, my gains have been immense. Although the Western Dharma-Nature Land is not yet the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have already been able to follow the footsteps of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su to see the truth of everything in the Earth and many spaces beyond the Earth. Only then did I lament that the scope of what I knew before was truly too small.

If the fact that Practitioner Su has awakened and achieved the Dharma Body in the human world were to be promoted in the world, it would cause a massive shock! How so? People in Western countries find it very hard to believe that such a power to save the world—the ability to save infinite suffering beings through one person's achievement of awakening—is something they have never heard of before!

Perhaps not everyone can be made to believe it now, but in fact, there are quite a few Westerners who have researched the spiritual realm. They might be able to obtain information that resonates with them from all the statements, teachings, and interview transcripts released by the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. That is to say, within the extent that their Dharma affinity can accept, perhaps a small portion of people can have a preliminary understanding of this matter.

Actually, this is already quite sufficient. If this small group of professionals can continue to delve deeper, step by step, to understand the operations of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and the essence of Buddhist education, and combine it with their own cognition and discoveries in the spiritual realms, they will certainly be able to achieve significant breakthroughs."

Namo Amituofo.

The spiritual realms are free of any obstacles. Although these individuals are also practitioners who communicate with spirits, the scope of their understanding is, after all, far narrower than what can be perceived through the opening of space at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, where Namo Amituofo truly abides. Nevertheless, they possess a foundational understanding, so it is not difficult for them to eventually grasp these profound Buddha’s teachings.

The Western Perspective on Spirituality

Looking at it from the perspective of Romadiv today, this is certainly the case, especially in Western countries—particularly in the United States:

• First, although the percentage of people who identify as Christian is very high, in reality, many of them do not have a formal religious affiliation.
• Second, they believe in communicating with beings from the spiritual realms and treat it as a way of life. For them, this is not a religion, but a factual truth.
• Third, they believe in the existence of the spiritual world and do not cling to any specific sect or denomination.

For such individuals, promoting the Buddha’s teachings to them would be immensely helpful. The truths they have glimpsed are not false; there is indeed a certain level of activity in the spiritual realms. However, because their horizons are limited and they have not received genuine Buddhist education, they certainly do not see the full picture. If they could learn about the Buddhist education provided at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and witness the reality of how we open up space and deliver sentient beings on such a massive scale, it would absolutely broaden their horizons and leave them profoundly astonished.

The Apple Analogy

It is much like someone who has only ever seen a small patch of an apple’s skin; they know what the skin looks like, but they cannot comprehend the entirety of the apple. If Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre presents the whole apple, their prior knowledge of the skin serves as an excellent starting point for them to understand the overall scale. For those who have no knowledge of the apple skin at all, the situation is entirely different.

If Romadiv were to return to his initial statement regarding 'unconventional promotion,' I feel that whether people are religious or not, there is no need for anyone to harbor reservations. We should vigorously promote these teachings to people from all walks of life. This is because the Buddha’s teachings are, in themselves, a boundless and infinite truth of the world beyond—they are far more than mere knowledge. Anyone from any background, provided they are interested in seeking the Truth, universal principles, and the righteous path, will surely develop an interest in Buddhist education. It is not that they do not want to understand; it is simply that they have not yet found the entry point, or their Causal Conditions have not yet matured.

Casting the Net of Wisdom

Therefore, the most important task for the fellow practitioners at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is to create opportunities:

• For those who are completely unfamiliar with the Buddha’s teachings: create new opportunities so they can hear the Dharma through their ears, plant the seeds of the path, and subsequently truly open their own Buddhist affinity.
• For those who already possess a certain degree of Buddhist affinity: allow them to further understand the true essence of Buddhist education.

Both are vital. Romadiv believes that we should aim directly for the goal, without worrying about minor, immediate gains, and promote the Buddhist education of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre extensively across more platforms and locations. Do not feel that this is like 'looking for a needle in a haystack.' In reality, this is 'casting a net'—spreading the immeasurable and boundless crystallization of Buddhist Wisdom into the vast ocean. This will surely be of help to the fish of today, the fish of tomorrow, or even the shrimp. Of course, using fish and shrimp is merely a metaphor!

A Rare Opportunity in Time

What Romadiv wishes to express is that once Buddhist education is propagated, whether it is the people of today, the people of the future, or even those living hundreds or thousands of years from now, they will certainly be able to benefit from it. Today, Namo Amituofo truly abides at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre; this is an extremely rare and precious event, difficult to encounter in millions of years. Everyone must seize this opportunity and promote it vigorously. Whether future generations will be able to hear the Buddha’s teachings may well depend on the efforts we make right now!

Finally, I would also like to share my reflections from this period. What I am most grateful for is that Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su have given me this opportunity for spiritual growth. In the Western Land of Dharma Nature, although I am one of the few foreigners, I have witnessed more and more Westerners from Poland, Germany, and especially Australia, entering the Western Land of Dharma Nature after seeing the billboards of Namo Amituofo. This is a very positive and significant phenomenon. Watching this from here, my heart is filled with Dharma joy, and I wish to bring this joy to all of you.

Thank you all. Namo Amituofo.

Namo Amituofo
