"My heart is filled with a sorrow few can comprehend. Although I reside in the Western Land, my thoughts remain tethered to the world I left behind. I have spoken, yet my words have met with no response. I wait, and so I send this second letter.

The Path to True Liberation
In your next life, there is no guarantee you will encounter the Buddha’s teachings again. If you remain trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, you will continue to create without end. When will you truly attain liberation? Only by achieving rebirth in the Western Pure Land can one be truly free. It is only by reaching this place, as I have, that one can be called truly liberated.

With palms joined in reverence, I offer my sincere repenting.
Namo Amituofo."
