A Call to Compassion: The Eleventh Letter
A Letter from Master Hui Ni to the Head Monk
Recorded on August 5, 2017
This is the eleventh letter written by Master Hui Ni, a monastic who dedicated her life to the salvation of beings. In this message, she addresses the Head Monk, urging a shift in the approach to saving the world and emphasizing the necessity of lectures. This record was transcribed on August 5, 2017.
Master Hui Ni speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. I am Master Hui Ni. I am writing this letter to you, the Head Monk, because the time for hesitation has passed. We must look at the future of our mission to save the world with fresh eyes and a renewed sense of urgency.
Namo Amituofo has taught us: 'The negative created in the past, the karmic debts accumulated over countless lifetimes, return to . Sentient beings are unwilling to let go and continue to seek revenge. Their attachments are just like those of ordinary people. Yet, the compassionate heart of Namo Amituofo helps guide them to the West. By changing our hearts, our natures, and our habits, we can also help these find peace in their hearts.'
The Inconceivable Power of Hsiang Kuang
The Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre is truly an inconceivable place. Just yesterday, the King of Chujiang, the ruler of the Second Hall of Hell, assisted the fourfold assembly of disciples in resolving the grievances of the karmic creditors who were seeking retribution upon them. I witnessed every detail of this process with my own eyes. Practitioner Su, with such profound , is able to help suffering spirits return to their pasts, heal their trauma, and return to the moments before their suffering began. By turning back the clock, he helps resolve the deep-seated resentment of these spirits. This is a display of true cultivation—a level of compassion that reaches the very limits of what is possible in the deliverance of suffering beings.
As Namo Amituofo has revealed, people in this world are so consumed by the and . They strive to satisfy their own needs and cravings, thereby creating countless spiritual obstacles. This is not even to mention the cycle of rebirth that our spirits have endured through endless lifetimes. If it were not for the compassion of Namo Amituofo, who created the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, our spirits would truly have no place to rest, and we would not even know where we were heading after death. It is a tragedy that the people of this world do not believe in this truth. They only believe in the fleeting enjoyments before their eyes, or they perform good deeds without understanding that these cannot serve as the necessary provisions to elevate their status for rebirth in the Western Pure Land.
The Urgent Need for Dharma Lectures
When I first began my journey of saving beings, I understood that one must simply act; one cannot look back at the motivations of the beings who request assistance. By doing this, I was able to lead more people who had not truly practised the Buddha’s teachings to the bodhimanda, giving them at least a chance to soak in the atmosphere of the Buddha’s compassion. I often used the Great Compassion Water to assist them. However, what I lacked was the follow-up of Dharma lectures. People need the opportunity to understand the true meaning of the Buddha’s teachings—the concepts of 'no aging, no sickness, no death,' and the necessity of 'changing one's heart, changing one's nature, and changing one's habits.' I hope that those who follow in my footsteps will be able to adjust and compensate for this deficiency.
Giving Dharma lectures is not an easy task, because one must ensure that the teachings are both appropriate to the capacity of the audience and in accordance with the Truth. I am speaking to you now from this place. If you still respect me as your founding master, please listen to my advice. I know that both of you brothers are very diligent in your own self-cultivation, but the matter of life and death—and the ultimate goal of rebirth in the Western Pure Land—is of the utmost importance. You must come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia and speak with me. We can discuss how to adjust our future methods of saving the world and how to help more people and sentient beings achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land.
A Personal Invitation to Australia
Practitioner Su is so compassionate; he wishes to pass down this true skill of saving beings to future generations. If you do not come now, when will you? Please do not miss this golden opportunity. To continue bearing the karmic consequences of failing to help these sentient beings reach the Western Pure Land would be a heavy burden indeed. If you do not believe what I, your master, have said, then come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia and verify it for yourself.
Written by the hand of Hui Ni. Namo Amituofo."
