The salvation team maintains a continuous, twenty-four-hour cycle of chanting the Buddha-name. This practice is not merely a routine; it is a spontaneous expression of the sincere and earnest vow to seek rain, emerging from the very depths of our hearts. Since the success of our rain-making efforts, every subsequent rainfall has served as a profound source of confidence for everyone involved. We understand clearly that the mission of the salvation team extends far beyond the singular act of calling for rain.
The energy generated by the Buddha-name is boundless. The success of the rain-making proves that if everyone can generate the same level of sincere, heartfelt vows, and rely on the team’s ability to maintain twenty-four-hour chanting in shifts, then any problem we set our minds to resolve can also be fulfilled according to our wishes.
Restoring the Earth and Subduing Interference
At present, the temple is engaged in another vital mission, a task that Practitioner Su and the salvation team have been diligently pursuing: helping to correct the Earth’s tilted orbit, guiding human hearts back toward Goodness, and mitigating or resolving the global pandemic. When beings from the Demon Realm recently came to the temple to interfere with Practitioner Su, it was because they sensed the Earth’s orbit was indeed returning to its proper path. Their arrival served as confirmation of our progress.
The members of the salvation team possess a deep understanding of the mindset and interactions within the Demon Realm. As expected, these countless demon crowds were subdued by Practitioner Su and successfully guided into the -Nature Land. Everyone is giving their utmost to execute every task, including the rotation of shifts for the morning led by Practitioner Su. Regardless of the specific nature of the task, the three pillars of success remain constant: Faith, Practice, and Vows.
Leadership and the Path of Dedication
I, Skanda , am filled with confidence in the salvation team’s chanting and their work. The conviction held by every member is a desire to express their repentance through chanting and following Practitioner Su in Chao Du, thereby making amends for past mistakes. Because they cooperate fully, free from wandering thoughts or idle distractions, their chanting is exceptionally focused. This is precisely why the response to our rain-making was so swift. Furthermore, the command and leadership capabilities of Venerable Chang Ren are highly commendable; the allocation and utilisation of human resources have been handled with perfect precision.
Adapting to the Needs of the Mission
Recently, Practitioner Su has had to attend to various logistical matters, such as purchasing supplies for the Village and the kitchen, acquiring teaching materials, and overseeing the construction of the Bhikshu quarters. These responsibilities have required travel to more distant locations, necessitating adjustments to the lecture schedule. Practitioner Su always informs the Dharma Realm and the public in advance, which is a commendable practice.
The audience for Practitioner Su’s lectures is vast, encompassing beings from the Milky Way, the Dharma Realm, the heavenly realms, the underworld, and the hells. For those who attend regularly, these changes in timing have little impact. For those who come voluntarily to listen, or for those who are occupied with other tasks, they are able to adjust their own schedules to align with the updated times. Consequently, the order of those attending the lectures remains well-maintained, ensuring that as many beings as possible can hear the teachings of Practitioner Su and receive the benefits of the Dharma.
The Protection of the Dharma Body
Whenever Practitioner Su travels, the Buddha-light radiating from his body becomes a focal point for all spirits he encounters, regardless of where he goes. This has been the case from the past until the present. This is why, even now, as we work to clear and invite away the spirits attached to Practitioner Su, we still encounter beings who attached themselves to him long ago during his travels or during past missions to resolve conflicts. Although he is now protected by a Vajra shield, the situation has not diminished; in some ways, it has become more apparent.
Some of these beings recognise Practitioner Su, while others are new arrivals attempting to approach him, only to be repelled by the Vajra shield. Whenever a being approaches or is repelled by the shield, Practitioner Su experiences physical symptoms. In most cases, these discomforts dissipate once the beings are invited to leave, and they do not cause any lasting physical harm. Beyond the areas where Practitioner Su travels or performs Dharma Body Chao Du, there are still beings and demon crowds related to the correction of the Earth’s orbit who come seeking him. We can counsel them to leave when we discover them; however, if they are repelled by the Vajra shield before we can intervene, Practitioner Su suffers discomfort. We, the protectors, feel deep regret for this and will strengthen our defensive measures. The process of continuously drawing out and inviting away the attached spirits previously attached to Practitioner Su remains ongoing.
Namo Amituofo.
