Wang Yi-Lang:

Namo Amituofo. I have now arrived in this completely different world called the "Western Land of Dharma-Nature." I was filled with wonder upon arriving here and truly wish to share this good news with my family, hoping they can hear my voice filled with joy. I am truly happy because I no longer have to suffer. It has been nine months since I left the human world, and I know they still miss me and think of this old man. Oh, let me tell you, life is so unpredictable, but there is no need to overthink it. The past is gone, just as I have now completely let go and embraced this bright world before me.

What will surprise you even more is that the "Western Land of Dharma-Nature" is not the world of God or Jesus; it is the world of the Buddha. Did you expect that? As a Christian, the fact that I have arrived in the world of the Buddha shows that the Buddha does not selectively accept us. Regardless of what religion one previously followed, there is still an opportunity to return to the world of the Buddha. This is truly a very special world. I must also say that this is a very equal world!

What I marvel at here is that the Buddha truly exists, and all the figures we believe in from various religions also truly exist, including God and Jesus, whom I previously worshipped. They not only exist, but they were long ago guided by Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Wait, does that not mean the Buddha is on a higher level than Jesus and God? In the world of the Buddha, it is a completely equal world. Amitabha Buddha has attained Buddhahood and hopes that everyone can follow in His footsteps to attain Buddhahood as well; the Buddha would never claim to be higher than others. But regardless, today I want to report to everyone how I actually arrived in this place.

I imagine my family and everyone who knows me must be curious. Looking back on my life, I moved between various industries, from managing aircraft and food to, even earlier, managing money in a bank, haha. It seems that as long as it was something visible to the eye, I could manage it and had the opportunity to do so. This ability to manage made me proud. I believed that as long as I walked the righteous path, regardless of the industry—even if it was not my area of expertise—I could manage it with ease. Of course, I also did not allow myself to make too many mistakes that would affect the vast number of employees and so on.

Looking back on all of this now, truly, oh, all these things I was so proud of, I no longer feel proud of them at all. Because life is just like that. Having walked through this life, I have deeply realised what spiritual growth is, and that this short life is actually false, illusory, and fleeting. Heavens, was everything I held onto so tightly really false? Even if future generations remember me, is all of this false?

In the past, like most people, my vision was relatively narrow; I looked only at what I could do in the moment and felt satisfied. Of course, this is not a bad thing, but everything I did actually contained many factors of creating karma, which I simply did not know about. This does not mean I was not creating karma. Let me tell you honestly, I am someone who has been to hells.

For these past nine months, since I left the human world, I have indeed been suffering in hells, and only afterwards was I guided by the Buddha to this place called the "Western Land of Dharma-Nature."

Everyone might be curious: I always upheld righteous thoughts in my conduct and work, I was a person who enjoyed doing good and giving, often participating in charitable activities and donating to many groups. Why did I end up in such a state? If we are to look at this matter carefully, I must explain where I was guided from.

I was in the brain-gouging hell—this was, so to speak, last week. I was suffering extreme torture in the brain-gouging hell when suddenly a golden light shone upon my whole body. My entire body suddenly felt numb, as if the pain had vanished. Looking again, this light was golden, a very bright and warm light. I thought it was God calling me, telling me I could go home, so I followed this light directly into the Western Land of Dharma-Nature. However, I could not find my Jesus or God here. In my impression, their images should have been that of Westerners. But this really is the world of the Buddha. The Namo Amituofo before me reminded me of when I was alive; I had seen the image of the Buddha many times, whether in paintings, statues, or various sculptures—these are all very familiar to everyone.

When I saw the Buddha, I shed tears. I, a grown man, shed tears because I was truly so moved. I do not know how to express this emotion, but I want to say that I never performed prostrations to the Buddha, nor did I, like others, at least recite a few lines of the Buddha-name. These were not things I would do. How did the Buddha bring me here, sparing me from continuing to suffer in hells? I looked at many people around me who were like me; they had also come up from hells. Everyone had originally been covered in blood, with bodies broken and ruined, but upon arriving in this place, everyone immediately became very dignified, neat, and clean. Moreover, everyone became very young and radiant, no longer looking like that eighty-six-year-old man.

In my astonishment, I was very grateful for the Buddha's compassion, and also grateful to the person before me called "Practitioner Su." This was the first time I had heard this name. I had heard of Namo Amituofo, but I had indeed never heard of "Practitioner Su." Later, I sat down quietly here, and after some time, I realised that Practitioner Su is also a Buddha. He attained awakening and Buddhahood in the human world. He currently has a human body and a spiritual identity in the Western Land of Dharma-Nature, where he gives Dharma talks to everyone, and he also gives Dharma talks in the human world in his human form. Oh, this is truly wondrous!

After listening to the Dharma talks here slowly, I finally understood what I had done wrong and why I had fallen into hells. Everything is now clear to me. I only then realised that I fell into the brain-gouging hell because, throughout this life, I was involved in various product and business planning, using my brain far too much.

Who in business does not think of their own interests and profits? That is certainly the case! In order to create the best products and win the favour of customers, I racked my brains for my entire life, thinking only of how to keep their hearts and how to capture their tastes. Furthermore, the famous enterprises I previously managed, such as the Mushroom King Group and the First Famous Store, sold countless products, many of which were meat products that I had racked my brains to promote.

At a time when food safety was still a concern, the products I promoted were all made from the best ingredients imported from Japan. Even our pork was provided by pigs raised through a very delicate process. I not only focused on selling pork, but also sold a lot of seafood imported from Japan. Thinking of these things, oh, it is truly a sin! Many meat-eating beings, it turns out, had long held great dissatisfaction with me. When my heart was constantly thinking about how to manufacture and package these meat products into food that would most attract people's eyes, I had already been targeted by far too many animal spirits. They were in great pain. In space, they lost their bodies, and after being killed in very cruel ways, they were served on our tables. I did not think this was a wrong thing in the past. We Christians do not have a tradition of vegetarianism, nor do we have rules against eating meat; I thought all of this was a matter of course. But looking back now, I truly killed far too many lives, and each one was a product I had racked my brains to create.

Now, in the Western Land of Dharma-Nature, I sincerely repent. I know I was wrong. Practitioner Su, with great compassion, has broken through the doubts and blind spots in my heart one by one through his Dharma talks. I also know that these past matters should be let go, rather than kept in my heart and worried about. It was only here that I truly came to know Practitioner Su, this very special person. He is currently at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, and like Namo Amituofo, he is currently abiding in the human world at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. Most people in the world do not know about this; at least no one around me knew about it. But from the perspective of the spiritual realms, this is an event that has shaken the entire universe and the entire Dharma Realm.

I sincerely hope that people in the world can come to know this place, because what is taught here is true Buddhist education, which can help people avoid continuing to suffer in reincarnation, avoid having to go to hells to suffer like I did, and avoid having to live life being pursued by many animal spirits, especially when one is sick in their later years—that is indeed the situation.

What the Buddha’s teachings teach us is actually not some profound religious doctrine; it is the standard of the universe. There must be a set of standards in the universe that everyone must follow. Those who follow them will not fall into the three lower realms. I, for one, did not follow the standards, Truth, and righteous path of the universe, which is why I ended up in hells to suffer punishment. All of this is very clear; the laws of karma and cause and effect do not favour anyone, and everything is equal.

Now that I am here, I can see everything in the human world very clearly. I hope my family—my wife, daughter, and son—you must believe me. I have now changed my identity and am communicating with you in a very special way. If you want to verify that I am currently truly at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, in this Buddha-land called the Western Land of Dharma-Nature, please come here for a visit.
