Teachings Received by Disciple Shi Faxi
Recorded on September 5, 2017
On September 5, 2017, the Buddha’s disciple, Shi Faxi, respectfully invited Namo Amituofo to provide teachings on the practice of . The intention behind this request was to seek the blessing of the Buddha for the world, that the winds and rains might be balanced and the four seasons might follow their natural, harmonious course.
The True Meaning of Deliverance
Namo Amituofo explains that the practice of Chao Du is profound and authentic. It is not merely a ritual but a practice rooted in the fundamental principles of the . When we speak of saving beings, we must act in accordance with the Truth. Many are trapped in the darkness of their own making, unable to find the light because they cannot master their own hearts. How can one lead others if one cannot even govern one's own mind? The void of the universe is vast, and for everyone to live in peace, we must return to the purity of the past and change the way we walk our path today.
Transcending the Illusion of
We often mistake our worldly lives for reality, yet we are merely drifting through the cycle of rebirth. We do not realise that this life is a false existence, a temporary state that leads us into the cycle of samsara. Life within life is often a deception of our original nature. The gap between the Truth and this deception is merely the distance of a human being. Because we are human, we become lost and perish. The attachment to our human form comes at a great price. For the sake of a worldly life, we allow false to disturb our existence. However, within this life, there is a true chapter to be written, and the Truth will ultimately be the final verdict.
Those who are living are not truly living, and those who are not living are truly alive. If you cling to your body, you will inevitably find no life. True living means living without the burden of . When you are free from the attachment to a physical form, you will naturally be at ease. If you wish to achieve rebirth in the of Ultimate Bliss, you must understand that the most important task is the practice of Chao Du. This practice bridges the gap between the living and the spirits, for they are one and the same. When we transcend the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, we realise that all beings share the same essence. When there is no discrimination, we can finally touch the Truth.
The Path to Global Harmony
The world is currently in a state of turmoil, a clear sign of the end times. Both sentient and non-sentient beings are experiencing this transformation. How can we turn this around? It must begin with the human form. However, you must not cling to the body. Attachment to the physical form is a misunderstanding of your true nature. It keeps you in a state of confusion, which in turn creates layers of darkness. This darkness causes the world to change in ways that bring suffering and karmic obstacles. If you wish to see the world return to peace, you must follow the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. The seasons change according to the turbidity of our collective . Through sincere Chao Du, we can restore clarity to the world.
Returning to the Light of the True Teachings
Do not let your mind be swayed by the dust of the world. When you turn your heart towards the Buddha and let go of your attachments, you will find the peace you seek. Everything depends on the turning of the heart. In a world where the heart is absent, we must find the light. When you see the light within the world, you will see a world of peace. A peaceful world is found only when we walk the path of the True Teachings. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxi.
