Dialogue with Namo Amituofo on the Vastness of Mind-Capacity

The Path to Your Original Nature

A disciple once asked: As the layers of space are opened, we witness a myriad of scenes and the endless suffering of beings. To save them, one must possess the Dharma Body with countless manifestations to have the ability to guide these beings to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. I humbly request the compassion of the Buddha to provide teachings on this. Namo Amituofo.

Namo Amituofo provides these teachings: What is the true meaning of practice? It is the process of finding your original face. However, to do this, you must first wash away the layers of pollution that have accumulated over countless lifetimes. These layers are stacked one upon another, like dust upon a mirror. You must remove them one by one until your heart becomes transparent and clear. Once this is achieved, the Dharma Body, the Reward Body, and the Transformation Body will naturally manifest.

The Manifestations of the Buddha

Each of these bodies appears differently according to the specific needs of the moment. What is manifested is exactly what is required for that situation, regardless of the form or the scene. It is not limited by time, by the people involved, or by the specific circumstances. The speed of this response is extraordinary, allowing for the resolution of difficulties at the very moment they arise.

Even when the mind remains "unmoved," it allows all beings to feel the closeness of the Buddha. The Dharma Body can permeate any place at any time. This is the power of the Buddha-vow in action.

The Vitality of Mind-Capacity

Mind-capacity is the single most important factor in your practice. It is the vessel that nurtures infinite compassion. Because the number of suffering beings is endless, and because they are deeply trapped by their attachment to the circumstances of the present moment, the space for their suffering seems to have no end. When they suffer, it is because they are trapped in the present; their physical existence is already a source of pain, and what follows will be the ripening of their karmic consequences.

The laws of karma and cause and effect are difficult to describe in simple terms, yet they operate naturally in every instance. When the time is right for a being to have a Dharma affinity with the Buddha, the simple recitation of the name of Namo Amituofo becomes the King of Vows. Accompanied by the Buddha-light, this recitation sweeps away all forms of suffering, clearing the space within one's own heart.

The Precious Opportunity of Human Life

When you are in the human world, you must constantly chant the name of Namo Amituofo. Although the space of suffering seems endless, it is only within the human world that one can truly cultivate and achieve this level of practice. You must realise how precious this opportunity is. Namo Amituofo has made the Ultimate Vow, and Practitioner Su is now manifesting this work in the world.

With the Dharma Body appearing in countless manifestations, each body takes on the same form to guide beings directly before the Buddha. Once they enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, they are forever free from the cycle of rebirth. This is a method that has never been heard of in history, and the results will be seen in the time to come. As the years pass, the circumstances will change, but you must continue to observe and practise with a steady heart.
