Dialogue with Namo Amituofo on the Endless
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
Recorded on August 1, 2017
Disciple: Namo Amituofo. May the Buddha compassionately protect this child. I invite the Buddha's compassionate teachings.
The Boundless Nature of the Realm
The Dharma Realm is endless. The void of space is endless. All things that exist are endless, and the capacity of the heart is truly endless. When we look at the world around us, we see that the cycle of suffering is also endless. Consider the many ways in which this manifests in our daily lives:
- Human conflict:
- The endless cycle of right and wrong, and the constant disputes between people.Discrimination:
- The endless habit of making comparisons and creating divisions.Deception:
- The endless patterns of mutual suspicion and deceit.Attachment:
- The endless pursuit of power, status, and material wealth.Delusions:
- The endless stream of wandering thoughts and deep-seated attachments.Phenomena: The endless myriad of appearances in the human world and the vast, complex stories of the hells.
Everything is endless and difficult to measure. These countless things are hidden within our own minds. How can we possibly resolve such a vast and complex situation? If we act for the sake of all beings, even the endless can be resolved.
Resolving the Endless Through
You may ask how to distinguish between good and evil in this vastness. The Truth is hidden within. To resolve these endless conflicts, you must rely on the following virtues:
- Compassion, , and Selfless Giving:
- These are the foundations of your practice.Mind-capacity:
- You must cultivate a heart large enough to embrace and contain all things.: This is the ultimate method to settle the mind.
When you practise in this way, you will no longer make discriminations. You will no longer see a distinction between yourself and others. I invite all those who are connected by karmic affinity to walk with me toward the of Ultimate Bliss.
The Illusion of
To truly resolve your suffering, you must reach a state where your heart is empty. Your heart should be free of a single object, free of a single thought, free of a single Dharma, free of a single person, and free of a single event. When your heart is completely empty, how can you resolve the endless? You do so by relying on this very emptiness.
If you feel that you exist, then your Buddha-nature is also present; it is merely a matter of whether it is revealed or hidden. Practitioner Su leads the way, manifesting through his actions to help all beings leave suffering behind. While his actions are visible, the presence of the Buddha remains hidden within the heart. It is simply a matter of timing, Causal Conditions, and the opportunities that arise to guide you.
Returning to the Pure Land
The myriad connections in the human world are known to the void and are clear to the Dharma Realm. We are all one body. The arising and ceasing of these connections are merely illusions. Your attachments are false, your discriminations are false, and your delusions are false. Where then is the true reality? You must realise that you need to let go.
Everything happens within a split second. If you can let go in every moment, you will find that within this letting go, there is wisdom. When you let go of both your thoughts and your , you will reach a state of emptiness where there is not a single thought or consciousness remaining. The consciousness and thoughts are the root of your suffering; they are unreal and illusory. They change in the blink of an eye and have no fixed duration.
Nothing in this world lasts forever. Everything will eventually cease, only to return again in a different form. Why must you hold on to these things? Why must you create attachments that only serve to chill your heart? Why must you make discriminations that only cause pain to yourself and others? Why must you indulge in delusions that create obstacles? You have nothing to seek. My only wish is that all beings may leave suffering behind. The pure recitation of the Buddha-name is priceless, and the state of is the greatest treasure. With Namo Amituofo always by your side, we shall travel together to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
