This interview was recorded on June 10, 2018, at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre. Steve Jobs, having sought Spiritual Deliverance, currently resides in the spiritual realm and shares his profound observations of the grand assembly of beings from across the universe gathering for deliverance.

Steve Jobs speaks:

"The carnival of rebirth in the Western Pure Land is a scene of pure, unadulterated . Everyone is brimming with happiness. Before us lies a vast, golden world. I can guarantee you this: once you arrive in this golden realm, you will be eternally young, and you will never face the decay of aging again. At the very front of the procession led by Practitioner Su are not only the patriarchs and venerable masters but also the Three Holy Ones of the West, all wearing expressions of great . With a single wave of their long sleeves, the Buddha-light radiates brilliantly. The six-character name of Namo Amituofo opens the dimensions with great compassion, pulling immeasurable and boundless beings out of the cycle of being reincarnated. The beings Practitioner Su saves come from the ten directions of the Realm, and even from realms beyond—from outer space, places humanity has never explored. The layers of space, both within and beyond the void, are being opened simultaneously."

Beings from Beyond the Stars

"In the vastness of outer space, the extraterrestrial beings residing within those dimensions are incredibly diverse in appearance; almost no two are alike. Their reasons for entering these spaces vary wildly. Some are attached to planets that have long since been exterminated; others are obsessed with exploring new star systems; still others were driven by a desire to expand their own territories. They are beings who have long since exhausted their energy. Like the deceased on Earth, they exist in the outer reaches of space as spirits. Their experience of time in these dimensions far exceeds that of humans. To live for a thousand years is rare for them; ten thousand years is common, and some have existed for hundreds of millions of years. Today, the powerful energy of the six-character name of Namo Amituofo has cracked open these dimensions. When these extraterrestrial beings see the great compassion of Namo Amituofo standing before them, hands hanging in a gesture of infinite mercy, they feel no doubt at all, even though they have never seen or heard of Him before."

A Cosmic Gathering of Joy

"The situation inside the Buddha hall during the is even more unique. Many extraterrestrial beings have arrived from different planets, riding in their own spacecraft. Their strange appearances are quite a novelty to the spirits seeking Spiritual Deliverance within the hall. Everyone is watching these visitors with intense curiosity, yet they do not forget to keep chanting Buddha's name. The extraterrestrials do not know how to chant Buddha's name, so the other spirits are busily teaching them, terrified that these visitors might miss out on this magnificent event of deliverance. Some of the extraterrestrials who arrived during the noon offering saw the steaming food on the tables and did not understand what it was, though the food seemed to radiate its own energy. One extraterrestrial tried to take a bite, but the sensation was so foreign that he immediately spat it out, causing the spirits in the hall to burst into laughter. Today, the number of beings reborn in the Western Pure Land is countless. With the inclusion of these extraterrestrial beings, the event is truly magnificent, fascinating, and filled with the joy of the Dharma."
