This is a record of an interview with Mo Jieni, a primordial demon who sought at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Nature. This account reflects upon his existence spanning approximately 250,000 trillion years. Recorded and transcribed by Namo Amituofo’s disciple, Venerable HaiZe, on April 23, 2025.

Mo Jieni speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. My name is Mo Jieni. Jieni, Jieni—I have sensed that many people on Earth, whether they speak foreign languages or are locals, have chosen 'Jieni' as a name for themselves. It seems this name has been in use for 250,000 trillion years and is still going strong. Haha, it truly is a versatile and useful name.

Today, seeing the dark clouds gathering around the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, I realise these are actually scenes of demon crowds coming to seek refuge. It fills my heart with . To see such a massive array of demon crowds seeking deliverance—I think this is a spectacle that has never happened before, anywhere, and likely will never happen again.

This is also the first time Namo Amituofo has come to reside on Earth, which is, of course, a tremendous blessing for us demon crowds. So, I welcome you all to join the ranks of demons surrendering to Namo Amituofo!"

A Life of Endless Conquest

"For these 250,000 trillion years, I have never left the Demon Realm. That is a significantly long time. In the Demon Realm, I had several bases: one on this planet, one on that planet... in total, I suppose I had about five or six bases. Looking at it this way, my personality is not the type that settles in one place. Some demons are like that—a bit restless. Oh, 'restless' sounds a bit harsh and perhaps not elegant enough. But if I say 'unable to settle down, fond of change, fond of drive, and disliking the monotonous,' that would be quite accurate.

Of course, if one pushes too hard, it becomes 'agitation,' which is fine. However, my 'agitation' was for the sake of leading my demon children and grandchildren to charge forward, conquering this planet, then that planet, and then the next... and so on. After about six or seven planets, I had seen enough of the miserable scenes that occur when a planet is conquered.

At that time, a sense of arose in my heart. I did not want to keep watching, so I handed over the management of the planets to the juniors. However, before passing the baton, I told them one thing: 'If you can view the other party as being as precious as yourself, then you have succeeded.'

The Wisdom of the Old Demon

"Many demon juniors asked me: 'Old Demon, if he is as powerful as I am and comes to conquer me in the future, then wouldn't I be defeated by him? How can that be considered success?'

I replied: 'You do not understand. We demons have great respect for our elders. One must have a heart of reverence for elders and must not commit acts of insubordination. Therefore, you must educate them well. But you must not refrain from teaching them to strive forward just because you fear they might surpass you. If a junior appears who is better than the master, that is your glory; it means you yourself are excellent enough to cultivate such a successor. Never fear being surpassed and let jealousy arise; that mindset is absolutely forbidden. If everyone held that mindset, how could we demons progress?'

The juniors listened and felt it made sense, so they asked: 'So, Old Demon, does that mean we can charge forward as much as we want?'

I said: 'Of course you can charge as much as you want! Go ahead and charge, but at the same time, you must know how to protect yourself. Do not push too far and get sucked in by the laws of and cause and effect.' Every time this is mentioned, no demon is not trembling with fear. Although some old demons do not often bring this up, I always advise everyone with these words.

Therefore, our group never committed evil to the extreme or did demonic deeds to the end. Everyone knows: you cannot exterminate everything. To exterminate everything is to block your own path to survival. This is not just a practical problem; it is a very real truth."

The Universal Principle

"I conquered seven or eight planets... actually, that is not much. In the Demon Realm, there are those who have conquered hundreds or thousands of planets, but they do not live long. After conquering about a thousand planets, they soon disappear from the Demon Realm, found by the laws of karma and cause and effect. Such conquest is too intense and too ostentatious; in the end, one always eats the evil consequences. This is the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. Knowing a little more is always good; it gives yourself a little more protection. After all, although demons are spirits, if they are excellent spirits, they are also very precious.

Just like the Buddha’s teachings, Practitioner Su always says he is looking for a successor. Oh, the experience accumulated so far also tells us that if a second Practitioner Su could appear, then the demon crowds could truly be saved. In that case, this space would be very purified and very beautiful.

Therefore, establishing the Buddha-land of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss might not be too difficult, as long as one has the ability of Practitioner Su. However, I see that finding a second person in this world will likely take some time. I hope one appears soon, so Practitioner Su does not have to work so hard.

Alright, that is an extra thought. Because we have this opportunity today in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, it is all thanks to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, so it is inevitable that I have some and have said some sentimental words."

The Arrogance of Demons

"If Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su were not in the human world, we demons would not have the opportunity to be saved today. Demons have always been arrogant and conceited, from the demon grandchildren to the old demons, almost without exception. Especially the demons in the universe, the Milky Way, and the Dharma Realm—arrogance and conceit are simply their nature.

But we are not human; we are demons! What does it matter? The more arrogant and conceited you are, if you really have some skills, others will still appreciate you. But if you are arrogant and conceited yet have no ability, you will soon be looked down upon and kicked out. So, one must have some skills.

I see that the human world seems to have more and more of this situation. The Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has truly spread throughout the vastness of the Dharma Realm, spread to all beings in the six realms of existence, and even reached the Four Sacred Realms. Oh, but why is the improvement of the problems of the fourfold assembly so limited? That lies in two words—'personality.'

Personality, every demon has it, so it is not surprising. Everyone is the same; it just depends on who is strong and who is weak. The strong survive, and the weak are eliminated; this is also a natural law, very realistic. That is right, demons are very realistic and do not care about emotions. If you show mercy, you become the weak one.

Of course, there are demons who are willing to be the weak ones, and that is fine, but you must also have the ability to maintain your own energy without relying on a demon group to survive. Or, you have the ability to build your own demon group, specifically collecting top-quality energy—that is fine. But I see very few such demons; I dare not say there are none, but they are very rare.

In comparison, the Buddhist group is truly magnificent. The reason I say 'magnificent' is because I am now in the Western Land of Dharma Nature and have personally experienced it.

If you had asked me to say such things before I came in here, I really would not have been able to say it. Now that I deeply feel the benefits and advantages of the Buddha’s teachings, it naturally comes out. You will know if you have the chance to come in later. But I do not have much time to talk; most of my precious time is used to chant the Buddha-name.

Actually, when I listen to Practitioner Su giving Dharma talks, listening to the teachings of Namo Amituofo, or the teachings of Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, I am still chanting the Buddha-name—'Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo.' But strangely, while I am chanting the Buddha-name, I can also clearly hear Practitioner Su giving the Dharma talk, and the content is not missed at all, as if every word and every sentence goes directly into my heart.

Why is this? Let me tell you, the answer is 'Buddha's .'"

The Power of Faith

"There are really too few people who believe in the Buddha. I believe in the Buddha, I believe, because my encounter is truly too special and too inconceivable, so I absolutely believe in the Buddha. I absolutely believe in the words of the Buddha, so I follow the teachings, and I have received such benefits. I also want to tell everyone that this is me fulfilling a bit of filial piety. The Buddha is so good to me, so I must repay the Buddha. I do not have any special abilities; I can only use a little time to share my real encounter with everyone, which is considered a humble effort. I believe in the Buddha, I believe in the Buddha, I believe in the Buddha very much. In this world, this universe, this Dharma Realm, only the Buddha can save us demons! This sentence is the truth; no other character can save the demons.

Of course, I know that there have been many practitioners and virtuous monastics in Chinese history who have saved demons according to karmic affinity, and many demons have turned into Dharma protectors. But what is that number? One, two, three, four, or even ten demons would already be amazing.

But our situation now is different. In this Land of Dharma Nature, there are boundless demons, each sitting on a lotus flower, smiling and listening to Practitioner Su giving the Dharma talk—haha, he is even talking about our manuscript for interviewing demons! Even those in the sky who have come to seek refuge, or those lurking inside preparing to cast spells to attack , as well as some demons who are watching the situation and preparing to decide whether to surrender, are all listening to Practitioner Su reading the content of the interview with demons. Everyone is listening attentively, because at this time, the words spoken by the Old Demon are not something one can hear ordinarily.

I had never heard these stories of the Old Demons before; where would I have the chance to hear an Old Demon tell stories? So, many young ones, and even very old demons and Demon Kings, are all stretching their ears to listen to the content of the interview with the Old Demon by Practitioner Su. Of course, I am one of them.

250,000 trillion years is not a short time. My life in the Demon Realm had some twists and turns. How should I put it? I grew up in a world of light, and my family members were all there. I was the only child in the family, raised with care by everyone. At the same time, I was instilled with many good concepts, kind concepts, and compassionate concepts.

But later, the elders of the family passed away one by one, the family fortune declined, and I was looked down upon by others, and my character also underwent great changes. It was not the environment that changed me, but the mutation of my own character.

I began to doubt life—why do demons disappear? Why did those elders who were usually so good and so compassionate have to disappear in the end? Where did they go? Can I still find them? Is there no power in this world that can make them appear again and come back to life?

I took all kinds of questions to ask other demons, but no demon could answer me, and no elder could answer me. So, day after day, day after day, more doubts accumulated in my heart. Until one day, I met an Old Demon who was entirely dark. He told me he could answer all my questions.

I said: 'Alright, then answer me and let me hear.' He said: 'Demons are impermanent. When things will change is hard to say. Perhaps you think you are kind now, but in the next moment, you might become a demon—who knows, haha.'

Actually, this was exactly what I wanted. I already felt that this world had no logic to speak of. My character became worse and worse, and it was seen through by that evil demon. I nodded, thinking: 'Yes, that is exactly it.'

He said again: 'As for where they went? You cannot see them either. Even if I tell you, will you believe it? You will not. Because you have not seen it with your own eyes, and I see that you are very suspicious, you will not believe it. Then let me tell you, they are now wailing underground; do you believe it?'

I thought to myself: 'I do not want to believe it; they are very good.' Every sentence was provoking my suspicion. So, will I become a demon? Of course I did! I was sucked away and taken away by him. Just like that, I went from a world of light into the dark Demon Realm.

At first, I was still a bit afraid; after all, I was originally a kind child. But as the days went by, I slowly got used to the life inside, and even almost forgot which country I came from and which planet I came from. Look, how well I can 'let go,' hehe, how well I integrated into this dark planet.

From then on, I became a demon with heavy suspicion. Because I was suspicious, I had to protect myself, not believe in others, and do everything perfectly to avoid being hurt.

Let me tell you, there are many people like this. I have stayed in the Land of Dharma Nature for these days and found that almost everyone has this tendency of self-protection. Once a situation arises that might cause damage to oneself, a defensive wall is immediately built, not letting the power that one feels will hurt oneself enter one's heart. In this situation, how can one believe in the Buddha? One cannot believe in the Buddha.

Think about it, the Buddha is the Universal Buddha; the things he knows penetrate every corner, every subtle space. But how much of what the Buddha says can you believe? Most of you do not believe it, because you have not seen it or heard it. You only believe in yourself and do not believe in others.

Then, of course, you cannot listen to what I say. Who do you think you are? The Buddha is in the Dharma Realm, hiding in every corner; what does he not know? But you are ignorant and ill-informed, yet you think, 'How can what the Buddha says be like this, how can it be like that?' Oh, the loss is huge!

After suspicion arises, kindness is very difficult to enter. This is a pollution, a big stain, and it will slowly spread. If you cannot eliminate this point of suspicion, it will expand from a small point into a line, and from a point, line, and plane, it will expand all the way. In the end, the comprehensive space will also cover up your kind heart. I was like this, so this is a very terrifying thing. But at that time, I did not feel it was terrifying, because I had already stopped believing.

To protect myself and not let myself get hurt, I did everything very well, very perfectly, so that the Old Demon did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with me. Oh, he even nodded and said: 'You did very well.' Haha, although I was suspicious of everything, the results I produced were not bad. Of course, a large part of it was because I was not doing it for everyone, but for myself.

That is right, the character of demons is originally like this. Alright, it is considered that I passed the test. So, I passed through the levels, step by step rising to become a Demon King, and finally becoming an Old Demon. No one could compare to me in terms of suspicion, and I was even complacent about it myself.

As a result, one time, I took a big fall. At that time, I was going to lead the juniors to attack a planet. It was agreed beforehand that it was a planet of light. I thought to myself, I do not believe that our powerful demonic power could not conquer this planet of light.

As a result, the ending was very miserable—the entire army was wiped out. Everyone was covered by that piece of light, and everyone disappeared. My demon children and grandchildren, like magic, suddenly all disappeared without a trace, leaving only me. They were all absorbed by the power of light. Now, the originally powerful demon army was all gone in an instant. Only I was left; what for?

I did not know where they went; I really did not know. I had never encountered such a thing; I could guess many places, but there was no fact to prove where they went. At that time, my heart fell directly to the bottom. The Demon Kingdom I had worked so hard to build disappeared in an instant.

So I decided, alright, since in the end only I am left, then I will find a place to settle down properly. I will not look for them anymore; even if I want to find them, I cannot find them.

Why was I the only one left? Because at that time, I was not by their side. If I were there, my dark power might have been able to protect them. But that time, it was one of my juniors—an Old Demon—who took them to attack that planet, so in the end, only I was left.

It sounds quite bleak. At that time, I had about... fifty trillion, twenty trillion demon troops? I have to calculate again; I do not really like to use my brain to calculate such numbers. However, just grabbing a range is enough.

This happened about twelve trillion years ago. Since then, I decided to retire to the Demon Realm. Originally, I still wanted to continue to survive and develop in the Demon Realm, but this kind of thing happened, which made me unable to expand the demon team anymore. Alright, since it is like this in the end, then I will be a little more leisurely and find a place to settle down myself.

Actually, to say it in a cliché way, when Old Demons look for a place to settle, it is either by the mountains, by the water cliffs, at the bottom of the water, or underground; it is rare to hear of anyone hiding in an iceberg, but I chose an iceberg. Because ice particularly fits my state of mind at that time—my heart fell to the bottom, and it was cold through. So I sealed myself in an iceberg.

Of course, I also set up a protective layer for myself, not letting the cold air of the iceberg invade my spirituality. If I entered samadhi inside, and my life force was cut off, then wouldn't my life be over? So I used magic to create a protective layer for myself. This protective layer was quite reliable; as long as I existed, it could protect me. It was one with me; unless I withered myself, it would wither along with me. As long as I existed, the protective layer would always exist. Outside beings could absolutely not attack my space—it had always been like this.

Thirteen trillion years passed, and the situation had always been like this. Occasionally, the iceberg would have a big tremor, which meant the iceberg suddenly turned violently, causing large pieces of ice to move. I had experienced one or two very big tremors, which were quite astonishing. Presumably, the entire universe, or the entire Dharma Realm, also had violent turmoil at that time. Because the location of the iceberg was in a relatively remote part of the Dharma Realm, even here it was affected, so one can imagine that the east, west, south, north, up, and down of the Dharma Realm should also have been greatly shocked.

Although the iceberg shook so violently, I did not want to come out. I just entered samadhi according to karmic affinity, thinking that if I could survive, I would survive, and if I could not survive, I did not know where I would go. Just like those demon children and grandchildren in front of me, suddenly disappearing without a trace. As a result, fortunately, my life was big enough to survive.

At that time, it shook violently, and even my was a bit drowsy, and then suddenly everything became still again. After the pause, I reached out to confirm my state and found that my consciousness was still quite clear. Alright, I thought, I will still not move and just continue to stay like this.

Just like this, time passed for about another twelve or thirteen trillion years. Adding the front and back, I had not moved, but the environment outside had changed, and it was a change I could not change. It was the light of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su that shone into the iceberg, melting the entire iceberg! This power was too powerful; the iceberg was not so easy to melt. After the iceberg melted, I naturally could not continue to hide and settle, so I had to come out of samadhi.

Even the large animals that originally existed in the iceberg were melted, let alone me? I had to come out. After coming out, I found that the entire environment had completely changed. The world that was originally dark, cold, and lifeless had actually become bright, and there were many lives around! The life forms that were in the iceberg before actually appeared one by one!

What is going on? There is such a great power that can make the lifeless life wake up again! In this way, could my juniors also be saved? So I was very interested in the source of this light and full of hope.

Later, I finally met a life form. I hurriedly asked it: 'Excuse me, what was that light before?' That life form told me everything. After listening, in fact, I was very happy in my heart; it is great that such a thing happened!

However, because I have always been very suspicious, I still had a question mark in my heart, but at the same time, I was happy to accept it. Hmm, alright, then I will return to my position and continue my practice. I found a new iceberg again and entered samadhi inside. I thought, if there is karmic affinity, we will meet again; if there is no karmic affinity, it does not matter if I just quietly enter samadhi here. At least now I am still fine and have not been sucked away by the laws of karma and cause and effect.

As a result, not long after, that light appeared again! This time, I took the initiative to walk under the light quickly. I wanted to see, how are you going to govern me?

As a result, many life forms with very clever movements appeared in front of me. I did not know them at all, and I did not know who they were. Then, without warning, they used great power to push me, this Old Demon, toward a brighter light.

In the next moment in that light, I actually arrived at the Western Land of Dharma Nature! Too fast! Look, I stayed in the iceberg for twelve trillion years, and in less than a minute, I converted from the iceberg space to the space of the Western Land of Dharma Nature. This is too magical!

My suspicion arose again. Is this real? Or am I dreaming? Demons also dream! I patted my face and patted my body. Hmm, that is right, I have feelings. Then what is going on here?

Not long after, a voice appeared and told me: 'Child, you are back, then you should stay here properly.' I said: 'Excuse me, who are you?' He said: 'I am the Universal Buddha, Namo Amituofo.' Let me tell you, I have heard of Namo Amituofo, and I have heard of the Universal Buddha, but I did not know that this is the Buddha. Now the voice and image that appeared in front of me is actually the Universal Buddha, Namo Amituofo!

I was very surprised at that time, and I said: 'Really?' Haha! Look, the Buddha is in front of me, and I am still doubting! 'Excuse me, are you really ?' The Buddha smiled at me and said: 'Really.' So patient.

I asked: 'Excuse me, is everything that just happened to me done by you?' 'I do not need to do it; I can complete it with just a thought.' Wow, so powerful! Just using a thought to complete it, moving me from the iceberg to this Western Land of Dharma Nature! He said: 'You do not need to doubt anymore; this is the truth of the facts, it is indeed so.' Oh, this voice is so gentle, it almost melted my heart. Was my heart originally an ice heart? My heart is very firm and cold.

Later I asked again: 'Buddha, do you have a way to turn my demon children and grandchildren back? They all disappeared in the space suddenly!' The Buddha actually smiled and nodded; he flicked in front of him, and actually revealed every one of my demon children and grandchildren! This really made my eyes widen, and I watched for a long time.

Yes, what is this name? What is that name? They actually nodded to me, with the same appearance! This time it really scared me, and I said: 'Buddha, is this real?' The Buddha said: 'This is real. Your wish, the Buddha can let you achieve it.'

Wow, so powerful! I was so sad because my demon children and grandchildren disappeared, and I spent twelve trillion years in the iceberg. Now I actually saw them! Saw the facts presented in front of me!

The Buddha nodded to me and said: 'Yes, the Buddha can also read your , know the appearance of your demon children and grandchildren, so I have invited them all out now. These are not transformed by me; they are manifested from your Alaya consciousness.' I seemed to understand but also seemed not to understand, and asked the Buddha: 'Are they really real?' The Buddha taught me: 'You say it is real, it is real; you say it is fake, it is fake.' Suddenly, they all disappeared.

I did not understand, and asked the Buddha: 'Buddha, what exactly do you want to teach me?' The Buddha said: 'The Buddha wants to teach you one thing: there is no thing that is real; the things that happen in front of you are all illusions. Only finding back your own true self is real.'

I asked the Buddha: 'Excuse me, Buddha, what is called true self?' The Buddha said: 'That kind nature in your heart, that conscience, that kind heart you originally possessed, which was later covered up. That is a part of the true self.'

Ah, I understand. It turns out that the Buddha wants me to find back my original kind heart, which is real.

The Buddha said again: 'So what I just manifested, if you still want to see it, I can manifest it for you again.' I said: 'Wait a minute, Buddha, please do not manifest it first, lest I get hurt again. I still cannot understand what is called real and what is called fake.'

The Buddha told me: 'Every bit of what you did in the past is an illusion. The Buddha you see in front of you now can also be an illusion. What you just saw, the appearance of the demon children and grandchildren of the past ten trillion years, is also an illusion. Everything is an illusion. Only when you find back your true self is that real.'

Ah, I listened and said: 'I have never heard such a statement.' The Buddha said: 'This is the true meaning.' I said: 'Then Buddha, can you become a demon child or grandchild?' I thought to myself, this time the Buddha has nothing to say. As a result, the Buddha replied: 'Of course you can; the Buddha can fulfill the wishes of all beings.'

Then, suddenly, everything in front of me was my demon children and grandchildren! I was scared. The Buddha is really powerful, can change freely, have to no, no to have!

But at this time, the Buddha was still standing in front of me, saying: 'Child, do you understand now?' I do not understand. I really do not understand why there is such a change. The Buddha said to me: 'It does not matter if you do not understand, because your suspicion is very heavy. This is also the reason why you have so much pain. Then, the Buddha will teach you a method—you just truly and properly chant one sentence: 'Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo.''

The Buddha chanted his own name for me to hear! And he chanted it very truly and solidly; every word was clear, very powerful, but also so gentle and compassionate.

I think you may have never heard it, but I have heard it. At that moment, I truly resolved the doubts in my heart, and I began to believe in the Buddha. From just now until now, I finally understand that the Buddha is an object I can completely trust. It is right; the Buddha lets you trust him 100%, and you must also believe in yourself, not only believe in the Buddha, but also believe that you possess the true self, and can also become a Buddha, a Buddha the same as the Buddha.

Really, at that time I felt incomparably happy. I thought, the Buddha is the first person I can completely trust, and I can also be like him. From then on, I wholeheartedly chanted 'Namo Amituofo.' Every time I chant the Buddha-name, I imagine the Buddha appearing in front of me, smiling at me, so I chant with more energy, my heart is full of joy, and the corners of my mouth will unconsciously reveal a smile. Until now, the Buddha-name still echoes in my heart.

Everything said above is not hypocritical at all; this is truly the experience I encountered in the Western Land of Dharma Nature. So I say, I believe in the Buddha, I wholeheartedly believe in the Buddha, because I met the Buddha, and the Buddha taught me so many truths, how can I not believe? But you may say: 'I have never seen the Buddha, how can I believe in the Buddha?' Then you are wrong. The Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way will not be different because of whether you see it or not. What really exists, exists; and the true self, whether you believe it or not, exists in you. This is not something you can control; whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. So, if you are willing to accept and do it, perhaps you can find that real, true self; and if you are still suspicious, still asking 'Is it real? Or fake?' then you are just wasting time.

Between every thought and intention, many demons can enter your heart; this is suspicion. There are many demons of suspicion; I know, because my demon children and grandchildren are all demons of suspicion, haha, I was once a Demon King of suspicion, and they are naturally demons of suspicion. Then, where are we now?

True and false, false and true, these are not important; I will no longer feel sad because of them. If I can find my own true heart, I can understand where they are, because everyone is the object of my salvation, just like Namo Amituofo saved me; the Buddha has already washed my suspicion clean. Now, I wholeheartedly believe in Namo Amituofo. The Buddha also told me that only by believing in yourself can you find back your true self. I convey these words to you without reservation. Namo Amituofo, I have also fulfilled a bit of filial piety, conveying the Buddha's teachings to everyone, which is also considered to have resolved a matter in my heart.

I have been thinking, the Buddha is so good, why are there still so many Demon Kings attacking Practitioner Su? Practitioner Su and the Buddha save demon crowds together; in fact, it is not only saving demon crowds, but also saving many beings. Do not think that Chao Du is the only way to save demons. In fact, these beings have all entered the Land of Dharma Nature.

You may ask: 'Then are the demons on our Earth and the beings on our Earth saved?' Let me tell you, you are the first beneficiaries, because this is the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia; this place is blessed by heaven and has a superior geographical location. You are receiving the illumination of the Buddha-light every day, and even the demons in the sky have come to surrender, let alone you? You are being purified every day, although some people may not have changed their personality yet and are still constantly encountering the attachment of demons. Then, whose problem is this? It is your own problem, not my problem.

If you are a smart person, you will know to seize the opportunity quickly and find your true self. This is spoken from the mouth of an Old Demon; he believes in this matter very much, and also believes that he can become a Buddha, which is a very happy thing.

Although I have done many bad things, I have already let go. When I become a Buddha, the objects of these bad things will be the objects of my salvation. I will use concrete actions to express my repentance, which is more meaningful than those who only say repentance with their mouths but do not chant a single Buddha-name and have no contribution in action. Such actions are better than those who only speak and have no actual actions.

I am speaking now and find that many demons are listening; haha, it does not matter. Because these demons have also begun to believe, and coming here, their demon nature has decreased a lot. They also come to listen to me with a heart of reverence, which is very good; these demons are also learning. In fact, in the Buddha's world, everyone should have a correct attitude and cannot be as casual as in their own home. And now, their appearance is like demons accepting surrender.

Alright, I have quickly said this karmic affinity of mine. As for how to change the human world, this is strange; the Buddha can change demons and save so many demons, but the recent human world is so difficult to save; it is really not easy; everyone hides many demons in their bodies. I am sorry, I really saw this fact; these demons hold on to people's personality tightly; if he does not change his personality, these demons will not change; demons plus demons, in this situation, when can one become a character like the Buddha? It is indeed not easy.

But if those who believe work hard and diligently here, I believe that one day you will succeed. The salvation of the spiritual realms is really much easier than the human world. In the spiritual realms, as long as you fix your own true self and your own Alaya consciousness, you can be saved. The human body is indeed a troublesome character, but if you can pass this test, you can become a Buddha, which is much faster than a spirit becoming a Buddha. So, this is good news, is it not?

Therefore, how to change the human world? Then please everyone get close to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, listen to the Buddha giving Dharma talks, or come here to understand that Namo Amituofo is really residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, the Right Way, and how the Demon Realm became a demon. Do not follow the footsteps in the future, and know that only the Buddha can save demons. If your demon nature is deep, you must come here even more; only the Buddha can subdue demons.

When I said this, many demons in the sky were clapping, and they also agreed. Very good, it counts that you have listened to a few words I said.

Alright, what I have to say ends here, and I have said a lot.

Namo Amituofo.
