An Interview with Kevin Andrews (Former Australian Cabinet Minister and the Longest-Serving 'Father of the House')

Kevin Andrews:

Hello everyone, I am Kevin Andrews. It has been a while since we last met. I would like to first send my peace to all the friends who care about me and those who know me. I am doing very well now, so please do not worry.

My life as a parliamentarian has come to a successful conclusion, just as I had previously retired, and now this is the complete retirement of my life. Although I have left everyone's sight, I have not actually disappeared. I no longer have a body, but I still spiritually exist in this world; it is just that I must use some rather special methods to communicate with everyone and meet again.

Meeting everyone again after four years—and after death—is a profound moment. When I first left my human form, I didn't know where life would lead, nor did I understand where we go after death.

With my faith in the Lord, I believed that one could go to heaven after death. I also firmly believed that with my contributions to Australian politics and the public, as well as my efforts in legislation, I should be able to ascend to heaven. But in reality, I went to the hells, suffering punishment in the 'heart-gouging hell' and 'brain-gouging hell'. You may not quite understand what hell is; hell is a place without light, like a prison, but the suffering and punishment endured inside are far more painful than in a prison. It is a direct interrogation of the soul and spirit.

In the heart-gouging and brain-gouging hells, I was constantly having my heart dug out by the order-followers, and my head was also broken open to have my brain removed. This may sound terrifying, but it helps everyone understand that everything created in the world comes with a price. If every word, action, and choice in life was made purely for the benefit of the general public and the Australian people—rather than for selfish reasons—we would never have to face these punishments.   

Speaking of this, everyone should understand. Having been in politics for many years, and long serving as an elected parliamentarian, those within the political system understand what I mean by the process. To win an election or gain the support of the regional public, one needs to consider many aspects; it is not as simple and glamorous as it appears on the surface. In a region, there are different factions and forces; to gain their support, there must be exchanges of benefits, which is a very common phenomenon for political figures.

However, whenever these schemes, strategies, or devious methods were used, whether for one's own career, for successful re-election, or to consolidate regional status, these schemes and techniques were the main reasons that sent me to hell. Actually, the fact that I was a politician is not a secret, and everyone knows it, so I have no concerns now and can open my heart to explain it clearly to everyone.

The reason I was able to leave hell and am now in a world of light is because in a rural area called Goombungee in Queensland, Australia, in a remote and inconspicuous place, there sits a large temple called 'Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre'. This temple has been deeply rooted in Australia for many years, yet it has remained unknown because they have been in retreat and practice for a long time, and not many people have been able to see its true face.

Now that I have been rescued from hell by 'Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre', I must explain this matter to everyone. This matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. As a former Member of Parliament, my observations of the human world, social phenomena, and what is of substantial help to Australia are quite accurate; otherwise, I would not have been able to hold the position of a Member of Parliament for so long. This requires quite high political skill and precise vision.

The reason I am introducing this temple to everyone is that in the long run, this is truly a temple that is of great help to Australia. This is also a piece of advice for future generations in politics: if you want to shine and thrive in the political arena in the future and master various forces, you must strongly support such groups that can provide practical help to Australia.

And Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is such a group, which has several characteristics:

1. This temple will have considerable international fame in the future.

The reason for the expansion of the temple's international fame is that although it is located in Australia, the cause it promotes is a global one. The main founders of this temple are currently practitioners who came from Taiwan, but in recent years it has gradually expanded, adding people from all over the world, including China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and overseas followers are spread across the globe. They have been developing large-scale construction in Australia for a long time, so they also have deep and close connections with many local developers, builders, engineers, and workers. This temple is still continuing to expand and will definitely develop on a global scale in the future. Therefore, contacting the temple and establishing good channels will be helpful for your own camp's direction, political breadth, gaining public support, and policies related to international issues.

2.      This temple is famous and holds such immense promise because it addresses the core human challenges of aging, illness, and death.

How can the problems of aging, disease, and death be solved? In fact, this involves the spiritual level. Please allow me to explain this to everyone in detail.

I am now in the Dharma-Nature Land of the temple because I was rescued from hell by the temple. The temple has recently been holding activities to save world celebrities. After I was rescued from hell by the temple, I was placed in the spiritual space of the temple. Because I am already a spirit, without a body, but the temple itself has a spiritual space that can specifically accommodate us suffering spirits. There are spirits from all over the world, and even from outside the Earth; everyone is sitting peacefully in this bright, beautiful, and vast world. This bright spiritual world is called the 'Dharma-Nature Land'. In it, I can clearly see the operation of the temple with my spirit, and I can also see the operation of this world.

Why do I say that the temple can solve the problems of aging, disease, and death? Before this, everyone must first understand the truth about aging, disease, and death. In fact, all of this is highly related to the spiritual world. This correlation lies in the fact that the aging of the human body comes from the aging of cells, the illness of the human body comes from the lesions of cells and the failure of organs, and death is the complete death of the body's cells and the complete dysfunction of the body's basic functions. So all of this revolves around whether the body's cell functions can operate normally and whether it can maintain the youth of cells without aging.

And the cells in the body are actually the dwelling place of spirits. You may not understand this; in fact, there are immeasurable and boundless spirits in the human body, and the number is difficult to calculate. You can simply imagine that there is a spirit in a cell, and the human body has countless cells, so there are also countless spirits. Why is this so? I have not yet been able to understand this thoroughly. The law I learned in the human world, the political technical knowledge I learned, and my thoughts on various fields did not allow me to learn these spiritual concepts. It was only by listening to the temple's explanations in the Dharma-Nature Land and using my own observations that I was able to gain my current realisation. But as for how spirits are formed and why there are so many spirits in the body, I am still not clear.

What I can know is that the spirits in the body all have a very deep connection with oneself. This must be traced back to the relationship developed with these spirits in the past. In the past days, if there was a good relationship with these spirits, these spirits would help the cells function in one's own cells. If they were offended, or if there was mutual hatred, or even a deep-seated blood feud, these spirits in one's body would destroy and attack the cells, resulting in the aging and lesions of the cells. And this process is the process of people aging, getting sick, and dying.

In normal times, the spirits in human cells are in a stable and steady state, and they will not launch attacks at will. But once these spirits are awakened in the cells, they will remember their past interactions with oneself; if there is hatred, they will seek revenge, and if there is kindness, they will repay it, operating in this way. And how are they awakened? The mechanism of this awakening is when one's own heart emits a mental note that is exactly the same as at some point in the past. If the same mental note of how one harmed beings, how one formed hatred with beings, and how one formed hatred with spirits is manifested again, then the spirits in the corresponding cells will be awakened by this same mental note and continue the resentment that could not be concluded at that time. Therefore, the focus of what these spirits say is how to avoid awakening these spirits in the body.

Listening to the sutras in the Dharma-Nature Land, what I have learned so far is that if a person can sincerely serve the public and sincerely seek welfare for the Australian people, rather than truly for one's own re-election, nor for one's own political status, nor for these conflicts of interest, or to carry out various political operations, such a heart is Good, is very clean, and will not awaken the resentful spirits in the cells. But if one considers one's own selfishness and interests as a priority, it will awaken the spirits in the body. At this time, the body will begin to age and will also produce diseases.

Just like when I reached the later stages of my life, although I did not let everyone understand my situation too much, those who knew me knew that my body had aged to a certain extent and was also suffering from cancer. And before I passed away, my spirit had already been suffering punishment in hell, and this body was controlled by many spirits in the cells, and I was unable to do anything autonomously.

Actually, I am not a special case; people in the world are all like this. As mentioned earlier, the activity recently held by the temple is to conduct spiritual deliverance (Chao Du) of global celebrities and their political and business elites. In fact, from the interviews accepted after everyone was brought up, really, because everyone has no understanding of the spiritual world and no so-called Buddhist education, everyone went to hell after death, and even before death, their own spirits, their true selves, were already suffering punishment in hell.

This is very unjust, after all, no one explained the importance of this spirituality, nor did they know the connection between this body and the spirit, and even less did they know that this selfish mental note actually leads to receiving punishment in hell. Everyone must not underestimate the punishment of this hell; it sounds like 'heart-gouging and brain-gouging' is not too serious. You do not understand, this 'heart-gouging and brain-gouging' for a spirit, in terms of feeling, is a kind of extremely painful punishment. And the most terrifying thing is that it will not be interrupted, there is no chance to catch one's breath; once the 'heart-gouging and brain-gouging' hurts until this spirit dies, it will soon be awakened again, restored to its original state, and continue the 'brain-gouging and heart-gouging' again. Such a terrifying mechanism is really hard to describe. Even in the human world, even in this kind of special interrogation, there is no such terror as 'heart-gouging and brain-gouging'.

I have walked through this myself, so I can clearly tell everyone that the punishment of this hell is real, and it is extremely painful. This is also why, after the temple rescued me from hell, I would believe in and be so grateful to these volunteer Venerables of the temple. The temple is truly my greatest benefactor; if it were not for their salvation, my spiritual life would still be suffering punishment in hell. And this punishment has already made my spirit very twisted, and I only feel infinite despair for my own life. In the endless, long-term suffering with no end in sight, there is really no goal, and no strength to conceive of anything.

The continuous punishment on the brain made me unable to think about anything at all, and my head was completely in a very dizzy and confused state. At that time, through the salvation of the temple, I arrived at the Dharma-Nature Land, and I saw a very large Buddha here, called Namo Amituofo. He is emitting great light here, and his height is very tall, so tall that the sky cannot be seen. I cannot estimate his height; I only know that he is very large, and his golden light is very large and very vast. Shining on me, it is very soft, and this burst of Buddha-light is accompanied by this sound of music; I now understand that this is the Buddha-name, the Buddha-name of Namo Amituofo, which makes me gradually wake up. With every sound of the Buddha-name, and every burst of golden light shining down, I become more and more awake. Now it can be said that I have almost completely recovered.

I have not only fully recovered, but I am even clearer than I was before I passed away; one could say I have become younger. It is only here that I am able to explain the mysteries of the spiritual world to everyone with such precise logic. Everyone is quite unfamiliar with the spiritual world, and in truth, I was the same. During my schooling and my subsequent political career, I had never encountered such teachings and explanations. My network of contacts throughout Australia is vast, and I have known and heard of many religions, but I had never imagined that such a world existed, nor had I imagined that there could be such a Namo Amituofo who could truly save spirits from suffering.

If you believe the words of the man whom everyone calls the Father of the House, you might as well search for Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia online. Here, you can gain a deeper understanding of the true appearance of the spiritual world, which can help you rethink what the goals and meaning of this life really are. Is it worth it to end up suffering punishment in the hells for the sake of a brief, fleeting achievement? In fact, life offers many choices. Regardless of which industry one works in—taking my own experience as a Member of the House of Representatives—as long as one truly serves the people, one can avoid suffering punishment in the hells. It simply comes down to this level of understanding; if one has more Buddhist education, one will not take this wrong path. I can understand everyone’s unfamiliarity with such spiritual events, as well as the rejection of other religions. However, the Buddha’s teachings are not a religion; the Buddha’s teachings are a form of education. They teach everyone to have a more thorough and complete understanding of the spiritual dimension.

If you are willing to give yourself a chance, why not search for Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia online? This temple is quite famous throughout the world, and it has spared no expense in spending large sums of money to build billboards of Namo Amituofo all over the world. The purpose of this is not to gain profit, but to promote the Buddha’s teachings of Namo Amituofo to the whole world. As long as more people learn the Buddha’s teachings, they can naturally avoid committing mistakes and avoid suffering punishment in the hells.

This is why the temple wants to set up billboards around the world to help people. If you have the opportunity to pass by the highway from Brisbane to Toowoomba, there are billboards along the way. When you look up, you can see Namo Amituofo wearing a red robe; a dignified Buddha is on the billboard, looking at everyone with kindness and compassion. This is the billboard set up by Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia.

Therefore, you should be able to believe that this temple is not some mysterious, secretive organisation, but a bright and open charitable institution that welcomes everyone. It simply hopes that everyone can learn the Buddha’s teachings, silently perform good deeds, cultivate, support, and protect this land of Australia.

Since its inception, the temple has relied on its own independent growth and has now reached the stage where it can welcome large numbers of people. Through this World Celebrity Day, bringing world celebrities to the temple is intended to open up international awareness through this method of saving spirits, allowing more people to know Namo Amituofo.

I am very fortunate to have been saved, and I am also very honoured to have the opportunity to participate in this grand event. For those who know me, I am also very honoured to have the opportunity to introduce Namo Amituofo, the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, and the Buddha’s teachings to you.

Here, I also want to say to my wife, my children, and my grandchildren: your husband, father, and grandfather has not left you. Although I no longer have a body, the body was always limited, and time is fleeting, but my spirit still exists. At this moment, I am in the Dharma-Nature Land of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. I am here helping the temple to promote and introduce those who have a karmic affinity with me to learn the Buddha’s teachings. This is the new work I have embarked upon as a spirit after my retirement from life.

If you are willing to meet with me, or if you are curious about this spiritual world, you are welcome to come and communicate with me; this is also a form of support for me. Although I am a spirit at this time, I can communicate with the Venerables at the temple through mental notes to convey messages to everyone.

So, my dear family, I am at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. I hope you can come to see me, and I also hope you can gain a slightly deeper understanding of the spiritual world and the Buddha’s teachings. This will be of great help to you.

I am grateful to Namo Amituofo for giving me this opportunity to speak a few words to the people of Australia and my family once again. This opportunity is very precious; I cherish it deeply and am very thankful.

Namo Amituofo
