A Message from the Spirit of Zhao Puchu
The First Letter to the Buddhist Association of China
Recorded on 8 June 2017
A Call to Genuine Practice
Do not view this message as a mere whisper. It is a call to genuine skills, true practice, and authentic spiritual attainment. One must recognise this virtuous one. The virtues of the Sravakas and the heavenly beings are not easily attained, yet the conditions for such are now ripening for all of us. I hope that all will listen widely, plant the seeds of virtue together, enter the vast ocean of the , and ascend together to the of Ultimate Bliss.
Namo Amituofo has personally arrived to deliver these true Dharma words. To the members of the Buddhist Association of China, my fellow practitioners of great virtue, I, Zhao Puchu, am truly here. I sent a message yesterday, yet it remains unnoticed by many. Few have seen this message, likely due to doubt. I have truly manifested; why should there be any reason not to? After the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, I have become a spirit. It is only natural that I should return to offer my service once more. Why should there be any cause for suspicion?
The Path to the Western Pure Land
I have returned today not out of a desire for attention, but because I hope to assist the Buddhist Association of China. The current President and Venerable Master is indeed highly accomplished, yet there are areas where he has become lost in delusion. I hope to offer my assistance. I am truly in the Western Pure Land now, but it is through the genuine skills of Practitioner Su and the compassionate support of the Buddha’s power that I have been granted the opportunity for rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
My current mission is to help open the way to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Did I not dedicate my life to creating a new atmosphere for the Buddha’s teachings when I was in the world? I am not a person who acts without purpose. This place, the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, truly possesses great skills, a magnificent atmosphere, and practitioners who engage in true practice.
An Invitation to the Right Path
Has the modern practice of the Buddha’s teachings not fallen into decline? Although I am no longer in the physical world, since I have encountered such magnificent Causal Conditions, I will continue to strive. I hope to convey this positive message to the ears of the President. To Venerable Master Xuecheng, please know that my message carries no evil intent. This centre is a place of true practice, and I encourage you to see it for yourself.
- I will continue to wait here at this centre to welcome you.
- I will sincerely receive any person who is connected by karmic affinity and is willing to come.
- Namo Amituofo. My Buddha is of great .
