The Eternal Call to Diligence
Words of Namo Amituofo: Recorded and transcribed by Namo Amituofo’s disciple, Venerable HaiZe. December 3, 2023.
My children, you must rise up every single day without a moment of slackness. This instruction is not merely for a single moment in time; it is a call for every hour, every day, every month, and every year, throughout the endless flow of time. This is the true expression of , the path to save all beings.
Caring for the Beings Within
Why must you be so diligent? You do this for yourself, but also for the countless, immeasurable beings within our bodies—the cells and the spirits that reside within you. You must work to ensure that your inner environment is purified, so that it may never be stained by impurity again. The dust of countless past lifetimes has already weighed heavily upon your soul.

You must rise up and practise with fierce diligence every day. Only then will you reach the moment of purification and see your true nature.

The Continuous Journey of Purification
Purification is not a task that can be completed in a single morning or evening. It is a process of constant refinement, of becoming better and better, of cultivating deeper and deeper Goodness.
