Ma Yun speaks:
"How did the world become like this? I look at every blade of grass and every drop of dew, and I see sentient beings everywhere. How can there be so many spirits in this world? To be honest, I am terrified of these things. I have never been a courageous person; from childhood, I have always been afraid to look around, constantly worried that I might see something I shouldn't.
The Reality of the Unseen
Under your guidance these past few times, brother, I have seen far more sentient beings than I ever encountered in my entire life. I have no choice but to look, because they are all vividly presented right before my eyes. There are so many tragic scenes. Truly, being dead is far more painful than being alive. If I had not seen these things with my own eyes, I might still be lost in the fog, unable to wake up. There are so many spirits, even within the dust and sand.

A Commitment to Deliverance
Now, I understand the vital importance of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Saving the world is truly the most important task. I wish to fully fund the educational initiatives required for this mission.

When money is just piled up, it is no different from waste paper. It is far better to use it all to accomplish something truly great. I will continue to strive for breakthroughs. Please rest assured, brother. Namo Amituofo."
