Interview with Dr. Helmut Sohmen (Former Chairman of BW Group)
Venerable Chang Gao, a practitioner originating from the Buddha Realm of the Four Sacred Realms, shares his profound journey of joining Practitioner Su in the mission of salvation and . This interview, recorded on February 14, 2019, details his transition from the void to the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia, where he now contributes to the purification of the world's magnetic fields.
Venerable Chang Gao speaks:
"The rise and fall of the Buddha’s teachings have spanned the eras of the True Teachings, the Semblance , and now the Dharma-Ending Age. As human hearts have become increasingly polluted by their environment, they have lost their original simplicity and integrity. Instead, they have become filled with selfish and self-serving attitudes. This shift has fundamentally altered the magnetic field of our entire society and the planet itself. As disciples of the Buddha, we all bear a responsibility to reverse these societal trends. We must begin by adjusting and transforming our own practice, contributing our own efforts to the world, and inspiring those with whom we share karmic affinity to change alongside us. By spreading the Buddha’s teachings, we can help manifest the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss here and now."
"I, Chang Gao, originate from the Buddha Realm within the Four Sacred Realms. I had previously encountered Venerable Chang Ren in the vastness of the universe. Through our several exchanges, I developed a deep admiration for his perspectives and insights. Although our statuses were worlds apart, that did not hinder my appreciation and praise for him. Many times, he raised subtle points regarding practice that I had never even considered. It was through these interactions that we gradually built a rapport.
When Venerable Chang Ren arrived at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, I heard whispers of it in the void. Yet, I carried a sliver of doubt and suspicion in my heart: What kind of person could command such willing service from Venerable Chang Ren? To my surprise, it was not long before I heard the voice of Practitioner Su calling out across the dimensions. It turned out that Venerable Chang Ren had spoken of me to Practitioner Su, describing me as a trustworthy and reliable individual, and expressing his hope that I would join in the mission to save the world. Without much hesitation, fueled by a sense of trust, I came to the temple, accepted the arrangements of Practitioner Su, and thus began this magnificent Causal Conditions."
"From that day on, I participated in the actions of salvation and Chao Du. Throughout this process, I have been deeply moved by the sincerity and compassion of Practitioner Su. I have never seen anyone possess such immense mind-capacity, such extraordinary meditative concentration, and the ability to act without intention or thought. He dissects the illusory dimensions with such clarity, allowing everyone to understand what these spaces are, why we enter them, and the factors that create them. In all my long history of practice, I have never heard or seen any eminent monk or virtuous practitioner explain these truths so clearly, truly unveiling the reality of the universe.
Human beings can truly reclaim their lost innate ability—the ''—through practice. With it, one can travel freely through the void, opening the countless layers hidden within space, and revealing the dimensions contained therein. Whether it is the modern era, ancient times, the primitive age, or the age of animals, every era can be found within these spaces. This includes those beings who, due to their attachments, have entered their own delusional dimensions. With a heart of compassion, one can use the Dharma Body to help them find liberation. Opening these spaces can even purify the polluted secular world."
"The current chaotic magnetic fields of these dimensions are invisibly affecting modern people, generating all sorts of negative emotions and thoughts. To reverse this, the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia is actively performing Chao Du for the sentient beings of these dimensions, working to transform societal thought and purify the magnetic field. To encourage more people to learn the skills of the 'Dharma Body,' we are continuously recording what we see and hear during these Chao Du sessions, leaving behind testimony for future generations. I, Chang Gao, am merely one of the witnesses and participants, contributing my small effort to leave behind this proof.
Finally, I advise all practitioners: the most subtle of the subtle is where a practitioner must focus their attention. Especially the things that seem most insignificant—those are the ones that require the utmost care. Dimensions are everywhere and at all times; one can enter them at any moment based on a single thought or reflection. One must be extremely cautious. This is a reminder from someone who has walked this path. I hope that more people will resolve to learn these skills, so that together we may turn the tide of the entire world. ."
