Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

The preciousness of this body lies in its ability to attain Buddhahood!

One can engage in True Cultivation, exchanging a finite life to regain the infinite self-nature,

and purify this body and the Six Roots through fierce and diligent practice.

Regarding the warnings provided by the ageing and illnesses manifesting before you,

and the manifestation of negative karma created in the past and the appearance of karmic creditors,

you should repent and change your ways to the beings manifesting within your body, change your personality traits, or resolve the conflicts through inviting spirits and performing Chao Du,

to eliminate each and every debt of karma.

Diligently purify and transform the Alaya consciousness into the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom, regain the infinite self-nature,

allow the light of the heart to fully manifest, illuminate the void, and attain the Buddha's path.

Follow the Buddha to save all boundless suffering sentient beings; you and the beings within your body are the first to be saved.

The value of reciting the Buddha's name lies in being able to "arouse the Bodhi mind and single-mindedly recite Namo Amituofo,"

and within the finite recitation of the Buddha-name, receive the blessing of Namo Amituofo's boundless merit and majestic power,

reciting until the Buddha-Recitation Samadhi manifests, which signifies success in your practice,

and continuing to recite until the infinite, never-fading wisdom manifests, allowing you to see the infinite self-nature!

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia—

Namo Amituofo is residing here,

serving the masses without counting merit or time,

exchanging finite time for infinite, immeasurable merit.

With finite Generosity, performed with a heart of non-attachment, one exchanges it for infinite merit;

with finite Generosity, performed with a heart of attachment, one exchanges it for finite Blessings.

In this finite time, give lectures to teach and transform sentient beings,

or perform spiritual deliverance to save all boundless suffering sentient beings,

if these beings can regain their self-nature or successfully be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as they wish,

then you have exchanged it for priceless, venerable Buddhas.

Namo Amituofo
