On the twenty-seventh of August, 2017, the Buddha’s disciple, Practitioner Shi Faxi, respectfully invited to provide teachings regarding the spirits that dwell within our modern technology. Whether it is software, hardware, or the smallest mechanical components, these spaces are filled with immeasurable and boundless sentient beings. We often view these devices as mere tools, yet they are saturated with the presence of spirits who have become trapped within the digital and physical structures of our inventions.
These spirits are caught in the web of our creations, existing in a state of confusion and entrapment. To understand their plight, one must align their heart with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. Without this alignment, we remain blind to the reality of the unseen world that permeates our daily lives.
The Illusion of the Digital World
Namo Amituofo explains that our obsession with these devices stems from deep-seated cravings and desires. The dust of the heavens, once clear, has become darkened by our collective . As this darkness begins to shift into a grey haze, we must learn to see the light that lies beneath. When we look into the void of our screens, we are often looking into a space that is fundamentally grey and obscured. Our hearts are connected to this digital dust, and the dust of the heavens is connected to the earth. The world is filled with this invisible obstruction, which blocks our original, luminous nature.
This digital realm is a place of endless, layered illusions. It is born from our own thoughts, , and long-standing attachments to desire. These attachments create waves of energy that pull us into a cycle of entanglement. Within this space, there is no sense of time; it is like the stardust in the vast expanse of the cosmos. Some of it is dark, some is bright, much like the hearts of sentient beings, which vary in their clarity and purity.
The Hidden Dangers of Technological Addiction
Technology exerts a powerful, magnetic pull on the human soul. What the world calls radiation is, in truth, the presence of these spirits. Why does this cause harm? It is because there are negative forces—what we might call dark spirits—that manipulate these technological spaces. They create an environment where we are drawn to what is similar and repelled by what is different, often without our conscious awareness. We become addicted to these devices, losing touch with reality day by day.
Loss of Reality: When the soul is detached from the physical body, it may become lost in fantasies of violence or indulgence.
Digital Slavery: From a very young age, children are becoming slaves to technology, finding life difficult without it and feeling empty when they are not connected.
The Illusion of Connection: We bury ourselves in virtual worlds, hiding from the true nature of existence and filling our minds with endless, trivial fantasies.
Returning to the True Teachings
Why is the spirit so empty? It is because it dwells in the darkness of these spaces, unable to transform the yin into yang. In this era of the decline of the , why are these distractions so prevalent? It is because of the influence of magic that seeks to destroy the True Teachings. People today are less likely to have true faith in the Buddha and more likely to place their trust in what they find on the internet.
Namo Amituofo has come to this world, yet many do not see or welcome Him. People claim to study the Buddha, yet they do not truly recognise the Buddha. If you follow the arguments of the world, you will sever your connection to the true nature of reality. Only by seeking the clear, bright, and pure truth can you find the path to liberation.
The world speaks of things that are not in accordance with the Dharma, but the Buddha now offers this guidance to correct our path. Those who possess the fortune of sincere faith will certainly achieve rebirth in the of Ultimate Bliss. You must examine for yourself what is true and what is false; your own body and spirit can bear witness to this. I only see those who have the karmic affinity to believe. Without this affinity, there is no faith, and if one lives a life without faith, the human body is wasted. The Truth is clear and open; it is only through faith and karmic affinity that we can verify this reality today.
