An Unprecedented Scale of Deliverance
An Interview with Steve Jobs
Recorded on October 30, 2018
This is a record of an interview with Steve Jobs, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Pure Land. This account reflects upon the unprecedented scale of performed by Practitioner Su. Recorded by the chief writer, Shi Faxin, on October 30, 2018.
Steve Jobs speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. I am Steve Jobs. Like a wisp of cloud, like a veil of mist, Practitioner Su passed through the clouds and the fog in an instant, arriving beyond the reaches of the universe. It happened in the blink of an eye, without the need for deep contemplation; the personal dimensions of time and space had already been opened wide.
In that moment, Practitioner Su opened the time-space dimensions for the ancestral masters, the venerable ones, and for us—the Four Great Vajras, Venerable Changren, Venerable Changgao, Venerable Yongning, myself, and the Bodhisattvas of the universe and the Milky Way. When you consider that for every single person saved, they in turn save ten others connected to them by karmic affinity, the numbers become truly incalculable. And that is not even accounting for the boundless, endless throngs of beings in our Chao Du procession. Each one of them, based on the specific karmic ties they have cultivated, brings forth a different number and variety of beings to be saved.
The Mathematics of Infinite
If you were to calculate this using the laws of mathematics, it is a process of multiplication upon multiplication. To describe it in human language, it is a scene of 'unprecedented scale.' Everyone involved is performing this Chao Du with a heart of sincere gratitude. If we were to look at this from the perspective of ordinary reincarnation, saving even one hundred beings would be considered a significant achievement, and saving one thousand would be enough to be hailed as an ancestral master. Yet, even after such an effort, the traces of the lower realms of existence would remain. Upon returning to the Western Pure Land, one would still find hundreds of lifetimes of karmic debts waiting to be settled.
However, the Chao Du performed here today reaches through layers upon layers of time and space, and we have not yet reached the point where all have been saved. Every single day, Practitioner Su returns with a harvest that is full to the brim, breaking through one dimension after another. Her vow is tireless, never resting for a moment. Whether it is the physical world, the six realms of existence, the tiniest of crevices, the spaces between large and small stones, deep within the soil, or the wandering lonely spirits that no one cares for—all are reached.
A Wave of Light Across the Universe
The ancestors within memorial tablets, the spirits in graves, the suffering beings in the hells, the heavenly realms, the asuras, the demon realms, the life forms on outer planets, and even the sentient and insentient beings within those distant stars—all are gathered up in the blink of an eye. With a single wave of her great sleeve, and in the time it takes to chant the Buddha-name only a few times, they are all led into the Western Pure Land or the three higher realms of existence. The brave, who know no fear, lead the procession of those being saved, leaping forward, filled with . Practitioner Su, with her heart of great fearlessness, allows the light of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia to shine brilliantly beyond the horizon, reaching into the infinite, where no boundary can be seen. The most magnificent power within this Chao Du is the holy name of Namo Amituofo. Those who have already been saved and have reached the Western Pure Land can also see this grand spectacle from there, and they even return to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to assist in the work of deliverance.
An Invitation to the Path of
This grand event of Chao Du originates entirely from Practitioner Su and her Buddha-like great compassion. It is the very root and foundation of Buddhist practice. I, Steve Jobs, am truly astounded by what I have witnessed. I have written down what I have seen, yet there is still so much that remains beyond description. On behalf of Practitioner Su, I invite everyone to practise with diligence and sincerity, to realise your true nature, to attain the , and to step out into the vastness of the void. Namo Amituofo."
