Teachings by Teacher Xia Lianju:
Cherish this moment of obtaining a human body; it is truly not easy to attain.
If you can uphold the basic Five , you obtain a human body in this world. Can you continue to uphold the Five Precepts?
Practising the Ten Good Deeds allows one to enter the heavenly realms, yet when heavenly are exhausted, one enters reincarnation. Have you continued the Ten Good Deeds?
The Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is where all superior beings gather.
Superior beings refer to Buddhas or Bodhisattvas, and those with pure hearts and mindful thoughts.
The karmic result of upholding the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds is the human and heavenly realms.
When your Buddha-recitation skills are perfected, you will enter the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss,
and become a superior being.
At this time, abides at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia.
Cherish this life and this moment; having encountered Namo Amituofo at Hsiang Kuang,
this rare and precious spiritual connection is extraordinary. Do not let the time for rebirth in the Western Land pass in vain.
Learn the skills of Practitioner Su; this is the hope for rebirth in the Western Land from the human world.
Let go of your self- and self-attachments; all emotional ties must be severed.
Only then will you have the opportunity to perfect your skills, avoid reincarnation, and be reborn in the Western Land.
Through self-salvation and the Buddha’s salvation, you receive blessings and can also save beings in this world;
this is truly repaying the kindness of the Buddha, parents, the nation, and all beings.
Cherish the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre; its establishment in Australia is truly not easy,
it exists amidst the Buddha's blessings and the protection of the Buddha and Practitioner Su.
Quickly seize every second; keep Namo Amituofo in every thought and never depart from the Buddha.
Perfecting the is the fundamental skill for seeing one's true nature.
Disciples of the fourfold assembly at Hsiang Kuang, you must be diligent in chanting Namo Amituofo!
Do not interrupt this practice throughout the day and night; once the Samadhi and meditative concentration are perfected, you will have the hope of seeing your true nature.
Cherish every drink and every morsel; do not waste a single drop of water.
Be frugal with electricity as well; these are all resources of the temple.
Being frugal is a plan for the long term; after all, blessings must be continued.
Fortunately, with Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su here, blessings continue without interruption.
Diligent practice in this Buddha-land is the great fortune of a disciple of the Buddha!
