Interview with Jimmy Sullivan (44 years old)
Politics: Queensland Labor politician, former Member of Parliament for Stafford, and Assistant Minister for Justice and Veterans' Affairs.

Jimmy Sullivan:

Oh, I never expected that the Buddha would name me as one of the first representatives in Australia to be interviewed. I am indeed quite skilled at speaking in front of crowds, but I never imagined I would be among the first to be interviewed today.

I have only been here for two or three days. Initially, I was suffering in the "brain-gouging hell," and that pain is still fresh in my memory. However, this highlights the magnificence of this place; I never expected that I could be stopped from suffering. Originally, in hell, I was constantly having my brain gouged out, only to die and be resurrected repeatedly. The process was far too painful, and my consciousness remained in a state of confusion. I only remember it as an intense, overwhelming pain, and I had no idea what was actually happening.

After finally ascending from hell, I arrived at the "Western Land of Dharma Nature" at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. It turns out this is a Buddhist temple; I never imagined a Buddhist temple could have such a scale. In such a remote part of Australia, there is a temple with such modern facilities, quite different from the traditional Chinese architecture I was familiar with, with white buildings everywhere.

I had never heard of this temple before, and I never expected it to be so close to the Stafford electorate that I was responsible for and ran in. It is truly unexpected. It is a pity that I did not have the chance to connect with this temple before I passed away. However, this also shows that I have a very deep affinity with this place; after all, we are both in Australia, and both in Queensland. This is truly a remarkable coincidence.

Now that I have arrived at the Dharma-Nature Land, I have gradually become clear-headed. With the very strong, yet gentle and bright light shining here, I have become increasingly clear. I no longer have that dizzy, muddled feeling from hell; instead, I have an unprecedented clarity, and I can observe everything here with a very clear state of mind.

The daily routine here is very different from other places. The fixed workload every day is immense, and the day's schedule begins at 1:30 AM. I never imagined that a Buddhist practice group could be so diligent and proactive, and this place truly has the ability to save spirits from hell, which has really broadened my horizons.

After I passed away, I had prayed to God and various deities, hoping to escape the suffering of hell. I knew I had done wrong, but I could never escape until I was truly saved two or three days ago. Only now can I speak to everyone with a more stable heart.

In truth, a person's life is truly full of suffering. You see, I passed away at a young age. Although there was still great room for development in my life, compared to the things one can achieve, the setbacks in life are often more frequent. Moments of glory are always fleeting, and most of the time is spent in setbacks and struggles.

Although some people might not think so, feeling that their lives are relatively successful, according to my observations, no matter how successful a person is, there is unspeakable pain and pressure behind it, and I was no exception. I really did not expect that I would pass away at such a young age because of this.

I also want to tell my wife that there is no need to worry about me too much. If you truly wish to see me, you can come to Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. It is not far from our home, and it is very convenient to come here. But the point is whether you are willing to believe, and whether you are willing to face the truth of reality with an open mind.

Many people do not understand the spiritual realms, nor do they know the true situation after the soul dies. At first, I did not understand either, thinking that when a person dies, that is the end, and there will be no other changes. But now I understand that death is only a new beginning; as a spirit in this world, one must find a place to survive.

Because of the karma I created and everything I did while I was alive, I went to hell to suffer after I died. After I was saved by Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, I finally understood all of this; it turns out that the spirit world is what is truly important. A short life cannot last long. People in the present are always very attached to everything they possess and their feelings, but in reality, after becoming a spirit, these are no longer of any use.

If you are interested in Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and what happened to me after I died, you might as well search for "Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia" online to understand the philosophy and guidelines of this temple. In fact, this temple is very famous; it is a temple where Amitabha resides. If you drive along the highway from Brisbane to Toowoomba, you can see the billboard set up by the temple, which features a very large statue of Amitabha.

I was the one saved into the temple by this Namo Amituofo. There is a very clean, bright, and beautiful world here. I do not have to worry about being attacked, nor do I have to worry about the pain of having my brain gouged out; I live very peacefully and harmoniously.

Every day here, I can listen to a Teacher called "Practitioner Su" explain the Buddhist sutras. Although I did not understand much at first, I have begun to gradually understand the parts about human beings, the Buddha’s teachings, and the so-called "no-self" nature of Dharma. I am also slowly learning why I went to hell to suffer.

At first, I thought everything I did was reasonable, fair, and just. However, I now understand that as long as there is any deviation in anything, one will go to hell to suffer. This is the rule by which this world operates. When being judged in hell, there is no way to argue; every single thing one has done will be completely and accurately reflected back upon oneself. At this time, I listen to the teachings in the temple every day, and what I learn are these principles. These principles are the content taught by the very large, golden, and dazzling Buddha called "Namo Amituofo."

Although I do not yet fully understand the entirety of these profound principles, I have gradually come to realise that this truth does not come from external exploration, nor from research and analysis of scientific phenomena, but is a set of principles that are in harmony and integration with nature, which one will naturally come to understand.

In this place called the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I watch the so-called Thrice Yearning Ceremonies. The process of this Dharma assembly truly left me stunned. Participating in the assembly are many high-level spirits from the distant Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, as well as many manifestations of Practitioner Su, and souls from various spaces; everyone participates in this grand event together. And the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, as far as I know, is an immeasurably bright world, emitting a very dazzling and incomparably warm golden light; this is the so-called Buddha-light. It penetrates the clouds and reaches the temple directly, allowing the karmic creditors and spirit realm beings orbiting the temple to enter the light and stop seeking revenge. I really did not expect that the number of people I had harmed in my life had accumulated to such an extent, and they all exist in this world in the form of spirits. As soon as they heard that I had been brought up from hell by the temple, they immediately came to the temple and waited on the side to take revenge on me. This is a situation I never knew about.

Looking back on the past, I now understand that everything in this life was influenced by the karmic creditors within me; and the reason I passed away at such a young age was also because of the control of these karmic creditors. Later, when I saw the temple and learned that this is a temple led by Amitabha to save the world, and that it specializes in solving various problems of spirits in the human world, I finally understood why I was saved from hell. I see that the people here in the temple are working very actively every day to help sentient beings, especially Practitioner Su and the salvation team. They do not dare to have even the slightest bit of negligence. The reason is to help us suffering souls, hoping that one day we can truly escape the cycle of reincarnation and stop the endless suffering.

And the reason Practitioner Su was able to be saved this time is also because Practitioner Su hopes that more people will know about the temple, know about Namo Amituofo, and further learn the education that Amitabha wants to teach humanity. Because people today do not have Buddhist education, most people do not understand what selfishness is, nor do they understand how these selfish beliefs harm themselves, causing them to enter hell to suffer after death. If one can learn the Buddha’s teachings early and know these principles, one can avoid entering hell to suffer.

This is why Amitabha and Practitioner Su are so actively trying to let everyone know about Buddhist education; this is a very important mission for the temple to save all of humanity. This time, I was brought up from hell to this pure, bright, and stable place. I also understand that I was not brought up randomly, but with the hope that through my influence, more people will have the opportunity to learn the Buddha’s teachings. So I understand that I should contribute my part; after all, if the temple had not brought me up, I would still be suffering in hell at this moment. This is not to blame anyone; after all, every bit of this is the karma I created myself, which must be repaid.

Only after arriving at the Dharma-Nature Land did I understand that, in addition to the suffering in hell, there are still immeasurable and boundless sentient beings with whom I have grievances waiting. Once I escaped the suffering of hell, they would immediately come to hunt me down. Thinking of this, I cannot help but feel very shocked. I never expected that the pursuit of these karmic creditors in the invisible realm would be so urgent and intense. If there were no protection from the temple, and no help from the temple to invite these karmic creditors to the Dharma-Nature Land, I do not know what kind of pain I would suffer in the future if I were found by these creditors again, or what kind of behavior I would be controlled to perform.

So, my dear wife, if you have the opportunity to see this interview, or have the opportunity to know about the temple, it can really save many people. Regardless of what happened before, I sincerely implore you here, even if you have some doubts, you might as well learn more about the "Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia." You can search for this temple online, or you can inquire about it. This famous Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has a large billboard on the highway from Brisbane to Toowoomba, with the name of a Buddha written on it called "Namo Amituofo," and it tells everyone that people can actually not grow old, not get sick, and the spirit does not die.

This temple is really very active in managing and saving these spirit realm beings; ordinary people may not understand the situation. But now that I have truly been saved from hell, I can confirm to everyone that this is truly a real charitable organization that helps spirits and souls escape suffering.

If you have the opportunity to be willing to believe, or are willing to listen and understand the temple, you might as well come here. In fact, you can contact the temple, and the temple always welcomes you to come and learn. It is located in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, and is called the "Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia." You can learn about it online and take the initiative to contact the temple. If you are willing to come, I am always here waiting for you and can talk to you at any time. If you are willing to see me again, why not come to the temple? I am truly here in person.
