The Boundless of Practitioner Su
Through the and countless manifestations of Practitioner Su, immeasurable and boundless spirit realm beings and demon crowds have already been saved through . You may wonder how Practitioner Su is capable of saving such a vast multitude of beings. This is because Practitioner Su performs this work of spiritual deliverance through the power of compassion, the power of equality, the power of no-thought, and the power of a direct heart.
Because of these qualities, Practitioner Su is able to break through the limitations of time and space. Regardless of the time or the location, 24/7, the work of salvation continues, and the chanting of Namo Amituofo never ceases. When performing this spiritual deliverance, one chants the Buddha-name while in a state of no-thought, and one is in a state of no-thought while chanting. The Buddha-name is always present, accompanying every action.
Transcending All Distinctions
In this practice, there is no selection and no discrimination. One does not distinguish between your beings, his beings, or my beings. Furthermore, there is no distinction made between beings of the evil realms or the good realms. All are part of the spirit realm, all are suffering beings, and all are the objects of this salvation.
Even celestial beings, gods, and immortals in the heavenly realms, who may appear to live lives of worry-free enjoyment, lack the true opportunity to be reborn in the of Ultimate Bliss. It is only by coming to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, where Namo Amituofo is residing here, that they can join the assembly in chanting Namo Amituofo. Only then can they receive the Buddha’s guidance and be led to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. For these celestial beings and spirit realm beings, this is an opportunity that is difficult to encounter in millions of years.
The Infinite Scope of Deliverance
The , attached spirits, and demon crowds residing within people are also the primary objects of this work. The Buddha and Practitioner Su are always ready to resolve conflicts, invite spirits, and perform Chao Du whenever the conditions are right. The scope of this salvation is truly unlimited, and through spiritual deliverance, the reach of this practice extends wherever the mind goes:
The smallest of beings: This includes flying and crawling creatures, insects, ants, and even tiny organisms that are almost invisible to the physical eyes.
The elements of nature: The practice extends to air molecules, water molecules, seawater molecules, and the countless beings hidden within white mist.
The Six Realms of Existence: This encompasses beings in the hells, hungry ghosts, animals, celestial beings, and asuras.
The Four Sacred Realms: The practice reaches even those in the higher realms of the Realm.
The cosmic scale: This includes the salvation of demon crowds throughout the Earth, the heavens beyond the heavens, alien beings, demonic beings, the entire Dharma Realm, the universe, and the Milky Way.
Wherever the Dharma Body and the countless manifestations of the Buddha and Practitioner Su reach, all beings are saved. This is the path of directly ascending to the Western Pure Land. It is a practice of absolute sincerity and directness, ensuring that no being is left behind in the cycle of samsara.
