Celestial Beings Offering a Dance
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
During the held at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, we gather to invite spirits and offer our sincere prayers. On this day, May 23, 2020, during the Noon Offering, a profound vision of celestial beings offering a dance was revealed to us. This teaching was recorded by the chief writer, Venerable HaiZe.
The Celestial Offering
The blue sky serves as a magnificent backdrop, adorned by drifting white clouds. Celestial beings descend to offer a dance, their colourful ribbons fluttering gracefully in the air. Heavenly music rises, resonating throughout the heavens and reaching the ears of all who are present. It is a scene of pure serenity and beauty, reflecting the boundless of the Western Pure Land.
A Shared
Between heaven and earth, the multitude of beings gather to witness this miraculous performance. They watch in wonder, their hearts opening wide as they listen to the celestial melodies. The participants of the Thrice Yearning Ceremony, including the fourfold assembly at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, are all immersed in this sacred atmosphere, finding their minds calmed and their spirits uplifted.
The Grace of Deliverance
We sincerely hope that Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su will accept this offering. May they graciously receive these celestial beings, guiding them to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This is the ultimate goal of our practice—to leave suffering behind and find eternal happiness through the compassionate light of the Buddha.
