To carry on the legacy of the past and open the way for future generations is a profound responsibility. It signifies the act of receiving the wisdom of our ancestors, upholding their teachings, and inspiring those who will come after us. This is not merely a task of transmission; it is a sacred mission of propagation that requires deep Causal Conditions and a sincere, unwavering heart. It is the bridge that connects the wisdom of the past to the doors of the future.
This role of being a bridge is central and vital. One must be willing to reveal the experiences and processes of the path clearly so that those who are ready may see it, understand it, and join in this noble work. By becoming a link in this chain, one strengthens the collective power of the practice. This allows the teachings to continue to flourish in this world, ensuring that more people have the opportunity to know and the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Presence of Namo Amituofo
At this very moment, Namo Amituofo truly abides at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Practitioner Su and the fourfold assembly are currently fulfilling this essential role of carrying on the legacy and opening the way. The Pure Land education of the patriarchs and venerable masters is manifested through the lectures and the guidance provided here. Consequently, many people have gained the knowledge to chant the name of Namo Amituofo and have made the sincere vow to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Overcoming the Final Obstacle
However, we must address the most critical moment of our practice: the final push at the end of life. This is the most important time for one to chant the name of Namo Amituofo and achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land. The primary factor that interferes with this process is the manifestation of one's . These are the beings from our past who come to seek balance for grievances, and their presence can obstruct the continuity of our chanting. If the chanting is interrupted at the moment Namo Amituofo arrives to welcome the practitioner, the Buddha may depart, and the precious opportunity for rebirth in this life may be lost. This is the challenge that we must currently overcome.
The Power of Transformation and Letting Go
Today, because of the research, understanding, and development regarding the spiritual realms at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, this obstacle has been broken through. While one is still living, we invite these spirits—the karmic creditors—to come forward and be saved. Simultaneously, we must work on changing our personality traits. Only by doing so can we truly see through the illusions of this world and let go of our attachments, ensuring that our final moments of chanting are free from obstruction.
We must realise that this physical body is merely a temporary vessel. We should no longer cling to it. By moving from a state of grasping tightly to a state of genuine clarity, we develop a stronger heart of renunciation. We will no longer be hindered by physical ailments or the entanglements of Causal Conditions that prevent us from being reborn in the Western Pure Land.
The Mission of the Fourfold Assembly
Most importantly, Practitioner Su has achieved the ability to freely travel to and from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the human world. It is precisely because the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre possesses this capability that it can truly carry on the legacy and open the way for the future. Practitioner Su also possesses the ability to lead the spirits from the Western Land of Nature into the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This is the true power to save beings, helping them leave suffering behind and achieve rebirth. The fourfold assembly must take up this mantle.
Practitioner Su also teaches the students of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to practise diligently and purify themselves. We must fully utilise the truth that is the technology of technologies. Under the Buddha's , we can save all boundless suffering sentient beings, while we ourselves are beings who have already been saved. At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, the responsibility of carrying on the legacy of the Pure Land rests upon the shoulders of the monastics and all members of the assembly.
