Dr. Jana Matthews:

I am deeply grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for saving my suffering soul from hell.

In hell, my heart was constantly subjected to torture, repeating endless pain; I did not know when it would ever end. I kept wailing, praying for someone to save me. Suddenly, as if someone had heard my cries for help, miraculously, a brilliant golden light appeared in the space of the hell where I was and covered my soul. Very quickly, I was brought by this golden light to the Dharma-Nature Land at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia.

I am Jana Matthews. At the end of this life, I departed from the world amidst illness. At the time, I actually felt a sense of relief, because although I had faced many trials in this life, I had always overcome them and persevered. I had achieved good success in my career, and more importantly, I had many family members who loved me. I was very grateful for all of this, so when my life ended in illness, I felt that this journey had simply reached its completion.

However, I did not expect that after death, it would be the beginning of another journey. Although the body had died, the path of the soul had to continue. I never imagined that I would first end up in hell to suffer punishment; it was truly so painful. If it were not for Practitioner Su saving me and bringing me to the Dharma-Nature Land, I would still be suffering in hell now. I am truly very grateful to Practitioner Su, and I do not know how to repay this kindness.

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to be interviewed and share my true experience. I would like to take this opportunity to let more people know about summarisedHsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, where I am now. This is a very special and sacred place. Because Namo Amituofo is here, the entire Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is bathed in Buddha-light at all times.

For someone who died amidst illness, I deeply feel the impermanence of life and the fragility of existence. When death approaches or when one is troubled by the suffering of aging and illness, there is no way to resist, nor is it possible to return to a state of health. But after arriving at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, listening to Practitioner Su’s teachings, and observing the Thrice Yearning Ceremonies, the knowledge in the classes opened my eyes.

It turns out that the truth is: people do not actually have to get sick, do not have to grow old, and do not have to die! This is truly wonderful news. I used to think that aging, illness, and death were the common fate that everyone had to face. Now I know that the goal of Namo Amituofo’s salvation team is to hope that every person on Earth can be free from the fear and pain of aging, illness, and death, and to help everyone be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

This was a very novel concept to me. It turns out that Namo Amituofo is so compassionate, having created a world without pain or afflictions, allowing the soul to possess infinite life. After hearing this, I felt great Dharma-joy and became full of longing for the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

I have heard that the Dharma-Nature Land where I am now is a transit station for going to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. As long as one truly wants to help beings leave suffering and gain happiness from the bottom of their heart, and recites the name “Namo Amituofo,” there is an opportunity to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

How could I be so lucky to come to such a wonderful place as the Dharma-Nature Land? Precisely because I am so fortunate, I also hope to share the benefits I have received with others; this has always been a basic habit of mine in life and in the workplace. After all, helping others is helping oneself, and when more people can benefit, one actually receives benefits as well. Conversely, if people are selfish and only consider themselves, they will never be able to achieve much.

As an expert in corporate training, I understand this point very well. If a business leader, decision-maker, or manager hopes to allow their enterprise to have better development, then “mind-capacity” is absolutely an essential condition.

Because only by possessing a sufficiently broad mind-capacity can one accommodate enough opinions and calmly face various unexpected situations and trials.

Since I want to introduce Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to more people, hoping that more people can be like me and receive the benefits of “be free from aging and sickness, and to possess an eternal spirit,” then I must also do my homework.

When I first arrived here, my soul was actually very weak. After all, the torture in hell made my soul not so clear, and my reactions had become a bit slow. However, fortunately, on the Dharma-Nature Land, the Buddha-light has been shining on my soul, allowing the wounds in my soul to heal at a miraculous speed. Now, after a few days of rest, I feel that I have fully recovered.

Over the past few days, I have gained some basic understanding of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. It turns out that in the beginning, Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre was just one or two small white houses on four hundred acres of land. Seeing it grow to its current scale makes me feel very surprised; after all, this is not an easy thing to achieve.

If we use a business as an analogy, to be able to have such significant growth from small to large, that business must possess a good vision and have core values and philosophies that are not easily shaken.

So, what exactly is the core philosophy of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre? After understanding it, I realised it is very simple: it is pure and good, saving beings, and this name “Namo Amituofo.” These are the three key points I have summarised,. What are the core values of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre? They are not growing old, not getting sick, and the spirit never dies. Once I understood these, I was not surprised at all that the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre could have its current scale.

After all, people in this world, whether you are a billionaire or an ordinary civilian, whether you are a president or a business operator, all need to face the problems of aging, illness, and death. And Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is actually able to solve this problem from the root, relying on the education of Namo Amituofo and the education of the Buddha’s teachings. Through the power of education, it helps people understand what the universal principle and the Truth and righteous path are.

Now that I do not have a body, it is true that for people in the world, I can be said to be invisible and intangible, and I do not have a convenient channel for communication; I cannot communicate directly as I did when I was a human.

However, this does have one advantage: I can see everything that happens and is contained in the world from the “Dharma-Nature Land,” and I have a certain ability to predict the past and the future. This is a natural ability I possess after becoming a spirit, not something unique to me.

Now that I am in the Western Dharma-Nature Land, after gaining an understanding of the temple, I was surprised to discover that Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has a significant connection with this land of Australia and this country.

The reason why the previous drought in Australia was resolved was that Practitioner Su of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre carried the suffering of beings and performed Chao Du (spiritual deliverance) for many vengeful spirits that were obstructing the rain. Among them were many spirits of slaughtered cattle. Because Practitioner Su compassionately performed Chao Du (spiritual deliverance) for these spirits, it finally allowed Australia to successfully receive rain and end the drought. This is the first point I discovered.

The second point is regarding the initial Wuhan outbreak, a disaster that caused many people to lose their lives and even caused families to be torn apart. It turns out that the reason for its resolution was that Practitioner Su of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia used her countless manifestations—that is, the miraculous abilities inherent in the spirit after becoming an awakened being.

Practitioner Su went to various parts of the world, bringing the great Namo Amituofo to shine brightly, and performed Chao Du (spiritual deliverance) for many Plague Gods, virus spirits, and even the demon crowds that participated in the epidemic and controlled humans. Because Practitioner Su performed Chao Du (spiritual deliverance) for a large number of beings related to the epidemic, the pandemic was finally able to be alleviated and eventually subsided.

Oh my! I never knew before that we had such an extraordinary person in Australia, right here in this small town of Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland. It is not too late to know now, and I am very grateful that I could meet Practitioner Su. Although the way we met was a bit special—not when I was still alive, but meeting Practitioner Su in a spiritual state after death, and being rescued by Practitioner Su from hell to this bright world of the Western Dharma-Nature Land.

But what does that matter? After all, as long as one can meet Practitioner Su and meet the Buddha, it actually means that one can be saved. Just like me now, I no longer need to worry or be afraid; I have escaped danger and am living very peacefully on a lotus seat in the Dharma-Nature Land.

I want to tell my dearest family members that I hope you can all come to Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to see me. I am waiting for you here in the Dharma-Nature Land to talk to me. This is something that can only be achieved with the help of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, enabling communication between humans and the spiritual realms.

I hope that before you come, you will have a basic understanding of the temple. After all, this place is where Namo Amituofo resides; it is the only Buddha-land on Earth, and this is not an ordinary place. Therefore, before you come, I hope you will at least go online and carefully look at the content on Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre website.

If possible, it would be best to go to the highway in Brisbane, Australia, to see the three billboards of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre; you should have a different realisation. After all, these three billboards are very sensational in the spiritual realms and have saved many, many suffering souls.

I know that my children are all very kind-hearted, but kindness alone is not enough to guarantee one’s soul in reincarnation. The best way to ensure the soul is protected is to accept the education of the Buddha’s teachings.

Now Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre provides such a good opportunity, and I hope you can all come here to see what true Buddha’s teachings are, and what the universal principle and the Truth and righteous path are.

Alright, I will not say much more. You can call the temple at any time to find me, or you can come to see me in person.

Namo Amituofo.
