A Once-in-a-Thousand-Years Opportunity
Words of Namo Amituofo as Recorded by Venerable HaiZe
April 22, 2023
The Fleeting Nature of Worldly Existence
How many of the thousands of words we hear in this world are truly genuine? When we allow our hearts to be stirred by external circumstances, we feel the ripples in our bodies. When we allow our to manifest and churn, we are merely trapped within the mundane heart of the world, caught in the web of worldly emotions. We must realise that birth, aging, sickness, and death are burdens that no one can carry for us. We arrive in this world alone, and we depart alone, passing through the cycle of life. We wander from one lifetime to the next, yet our spirit does not know where it truly belongs.
The Weight of Karma and the Illusion of Self
In each life, we are transformed, taking on new faces and identities until we no longer recognise our former selves. The deep emotions we once held are eventually extinguished like smoke. Where can we find true happiness in a life governed by the laws of karma and cause and effect? We are left to face the consequences of our actions entirely on our own. It is time to wake up from this long, wearying dream of a thousand words. We must realise that everything we perceive in this world is merely an illusion. Why should we continue to suffer within this dream when we have the opportunity to seek the truth and return to our true self?
