Counseling the Child to Release Attachments
Words of Namo Amituofo
February 25, 2018
The Vast Ocean of
The ocean of your karma is as vast as Mount Sumeru, yet your spirit remains but a single, fragile point within the heart. You often focus on your bright aspirations while ignoring the dark deeds that accumulate in the shadows. You drift through a thousand places, lost in the currents of existence. You do not perceive where you are born, nor do you see where you sink. Where are you truly going? It is this profound ignorance that misleads the soul and keeps you bound to the cycle of rebirth.
The Path of Confusion
Everything you accumulate is merely . You walk forward in a state of deep confusion, rushing wildly into the dusts of the world. In the end, you will find that you can take nothing with you; all that you have chased will leave you with nothing. What can you truly take with you when the time comes? In truth, you can take nothing at all. I wish for you, my child, to use your true heart to understand the great meaning of this life.
The Wisdom of Letting Go
The path ahead is infinite, and the way to walk it is to move without attachment or wandering thoughts. When you finally let go, your true nature will bloom. From this blossoming, the lotus of wisdom will arise, pure and radiant. In this life, you must take charge of your own destiny. Begin to awaken now, for clarity lies in the very essence of your life. The ocean of is vast, empty, and free from the burdens of the world. May you find your way back to the light.
This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxi.
