Shen Qingkai:
! I never imagined that after death, I would still have the opportunity to speak to my family in the human world and all the many friends who know me. I am Shen Qingkai, the chairman of the listed company Chaoyang Technology that everyone is familiar with.
Throughout my life, I have always been hardworking and diligent. After starting from scratch and experiencing many trials, I finally pushed Chaoyang Technology to go public. This is all thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, and of course, a fair amount of luck. In short, I am grateful for all of this. This company represents my life's work, and I held absolute controlling interest. Our business scope included headphone audio systems and smart accessories.
I never thought that after death, I would enter the brain-gouging hell to suffer retribution. In hell, my brain was repeatedly gouged out, I would die, and then it would be gouged out again, and I would die again; this process repeated endlessly. I felt deep repentance, for I believed there must have been a reason that led me to enter hell to suffer, and I could only grit my teeth through the immense pain, time and time again. But the tortures of hell act directly upon the soul; no matter how much willpower you have, you cannot help but wail loudly.
I do not know how long these days lasted, until one day, a massive golden light shone in hell. When the Buddha’s light illuminated my soul, a thought arose: I have finally been saved. In an instant, I arrived at the Western Land of Nature at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre. At this moment, I am here at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, sending these messages to everyone.
After arriving at the Land of Dharma Nature, I gradually understood that the reason I fell into hell was, fundamentally, because I had forgotten my original face. I was originally the same as Amitabha Buddha, inherently possessing the virtuous characteristics of and wisdom, and I had once vowed to come to the human world to help beings leave suffering and gain happiness. However, I forgot all of this, thinking I was merely a worldly person, chasing fame and fortune in the human world, and thus committed various sins.
Because I did not receive Buddhist education and did not understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, my heart and actions deviated, which is why I fell into hell to suffer retribution after death. As a large listed company, Chaoyang Technology produced many electro-acoustic products, a large portion of which were various types of headphones and audio systems. In the past, I tried my best to make these products well, hoping only to bring tangible benefits to consumers.
However, I did not realise that most people use headphones to listen not to the Buddha-name of Namo Amituofo, nor to "The Infinite Sutra (The Buddha Speaks the , Infinite Life, Adornment, Purity, Impartiality, and Sutra)," but to worldly, decadent music. Most of the content is about worldly emotions and romance, or various types of music that stir the heart.
When people listen to this music, their hearts involuntarily give rise to various , fluctuations, and emotions. More often than not, our hearts cannot help but follow these sounds, and when every thought and intention arises, experiences intense pleasure. Little did I know that in this process, I was creating immeasurable and boundless sins. Why does merely listening to a piece of music create such deep and heavy sins? Because the speed of people's thoughts is extremely fast; in the short time of a single song, how many thoughts have arisen in the heart? And these thoughts are actually all contrary to the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way.
Therefore, living in the human world, if one does not understand what one should do upon coming to the human world, it truly makes the path of life very difficult! Because one thought after another follows in succession, never stopping. Without understanding the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, the sins created increase every minute and every second. This is truly a terrifying truth.
In the Land of Dharma Nature, I finally saw clearly why people in the human world age, get sick, and die; it is actually because people cannot control their own thoughts, cannot control this heart! Therefore, allowing every child in China to receive the Buddhist education of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is a matter of utmost importance. Because all the suffering in the world comes from a certain moment in the past when a wrong thought arose; just one mental note that deviates from the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way opens up a life of confusion.
It turns out that everyone can, like Practitioner Su, realise one's true nature and attain Buddhahood in the human world. But unfortunately, because I could not encounter the great Dharma of Amitabha Buddha, nor did I have the opportunity to meet a true spiritual friend, I ultimately walked onto a deviant path. This means that one's soul may already be queuing in hell, or will fall into hell to suffer retribution after death; even more terrifyingly, while alive, a part of the soul within the body is already suffering endless pain in hell.
Why does one often feel depressed and unbearable, or uneasy? That kind of unease is unstoppable, and the feeling of being lonely, helpless, and in pain invades one's soul, making one unable to help but seek more reliance and comfort externally. It turns out that all of this indicates that one's soul is currently suffering.
The world of spirits is so profound and has an inseparable relationship with the human body. However, without receiving Buddhist education, how can one understand this profound mystery? Now, Amitabha Buddha has come to the human world to teach the magnificent salvation education, covering the Body-Mind-Spirit, helping everyone truly realise how this precious human life path should be walked. It turns out that this journey is to resolve conflicts with the within the body and to find back one's original face; it turns out that a human body is hard to obtain, not only to help beings but also to attain Buddhahood. We should not be attached to the illusory love and desires of the world, nor should we indulge in memories of the past, because everything in the world is formed by the combination of multiple . If one develops attachment to illusory appearances, it will only make one's soul suffer more. If one makes various discriminations within the false, it will ultimately be in vain.
It turns out that the boundary between the false and the real is so clear; it does not lie in the outside world, but in the choices of our hearts—whether we are attached to satisfying the desires of the body or are truly cherishing our own soul.
If one cannot understand that the soul within the body is the true self, one will make the wrong choice. The human body lives in this world for only a short hundred years; however, the life of the spirit is infinitely long.
The Buddha very compassionately tells everyone this truth, letting us understand that everyone should make long-term plans for their own soul. Only when every thought is this "Namo Amituofo" will the heart-light naturally shine brightly, which also indicates that one is in sync with the Buddha-heart. It turns out that this Buddha-name contains the Forty-eight Great Vows of Amitabha Buddha. When one is Living the Vows: The Direct Way to Enlightenment, one will discover that one is actually so familiar with this vow and practice.
After listening to sutras and hearing the Dharma, I realised that everyone is a Buddha. It turns out that the human body is so precious, it is "technology within technology," capable of having the ability of countless manifestations, capable of manifesting as immeasurable and boundless golden light, covering endless darkness, and saving immeasurable and boundless suffering sentient beings.
Practitioner Su is the best proof. After realising one's true nature and attaining Buddhahood, day and night, with countless manifestations, he performs for immeasurable and boundless sentient beings, including countless ghost deities, lonely wandering spirits, and demon crowds.
Too many souls have obtained deliverance because of Practitioner Su's Chao Du, and people in the human world have also stayed away from the interference of the spiritual realms, making their own Body-Mind-Spirit more pure and at ease. The grace of Practitioner Su to the human world is truly uncountable.
However, how many people in the world now know that the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has such a precious living Buddha? He is a global treasure, a true spiritual friend worthy of everyone's gratitude. Because Practitioner Su realised his true nature and attained Buddhahood, he moved Amitabha Buddha to descend to the world and abide at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Now, the magnificent causal conditions for the two Buddhas to appear in the world together have matured, giving people in the world the opportunity to obtain the benefits of not grow old, not get sick, and the spirit does not die.
Such benefits certainly do not come from nothing; one must truly put in the work in the heart and cultivate one's own character at every thought. This is the cultivation of wisdom and compassion, which is the "power of and wisdom" mentioned in the Buddhist sutras. In every thought, one must be awakened: one is a Buddha in the human world, and in every present moment, sincerely vow to attain Buddhahood. As long as you let your heart always abide in this "Namo Amituofo," it will lead you and the countless karmic creditors within your body to move together towards the pure and good light. Because that light is the unborn and undying Buddha-nature within every one of our souls.
Actually, China is a land with very great ; for thousands of years, it has nurtured countless outstanding people, among whom there have been sages who appeared in the world. However, according to the current policies and causal conditions in China, one cannot see any true Buddha-teachings within China. The so-called true Buddha-teachings are those that can help all sentient beings leave suffering and gain happiness, allow people to obtain the benefits of rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and even help everyone realise one's true nature and attain Buddhahood. Such Buddha-teachings, according to my careful observation, do not currently exist within China.
But this is not because the Chinese people have insufficient blessings, but because of the Collective felt by the masses, plus the good roots, blessings, and causal conditions have not yet matured. Here, I provide an excellent opportunity, hoping to shorten the time for China to connect with the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, allowing China to connect with Namo Amituofo more quickly.
This method is to set up more Namo Amituofo billboards throughout China. It can be like a manifestation of Namo Amituofo, emitting immeasurable and boundless huge golden light. Any soul illuminated by the golden light can be saved, and it can also reveal the truth of the Buddha's salvation to the world.
Now, the Buddha is waiting at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre for beings to come and seek deliverance. Many souls, because they saw the Namo Amituofo billboard, came to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to seek Chao Du, and under the sound of Practitioner Su's chanting of "Namo Amituofo," successfully entered the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
Why can the Namo Amituofo billboard quickly mature the good roots, blessings, and causal conditions of the whole of China, and help the masses quickly enter into sync with the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre?
Because when there are more Namo Amituofo billboards in China, under the illumination of the Buddha's light, everyone's good nature will be awakened. This can more quickly mature the good causal conditions between the masses and Namo Amituofo. At the same time, the Namo Amituofo billboard can soothe the restless souls within everyone's body and the countless restless spirit realm beings around their lives. In addition, the Namo Amituofo billboard can also stabilise the magnetic field of the entire environment; whether it is national development or the improvement of the living environment, it can increase good roots for everyone and make good causal conditions mature faster.
I, Shen Qingkai, believe that promoting the Namo Amituofo billboard is a project that every Chinese person should strongly support. The cost of setting up the billboards is not high, but the effect is so significant; there is no reason not to do such a thing.
Therefore, I also call on all entrepreneurs in China and all Chinese people to come together to set up Namo Amituofo billboards. This will have great benefits for the whole of China. Do not think that this is just an inconspicuous small billboard; the role it can play behind the scenes is actually inconceivable.
In the Land of Dharma Nature, I realised that the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way is to always look at the good, think of the good, and spare no effort to help sentient beings. I am deeply touched; once, as the founder of Chaoyang Technology, I led a huge listed company, however, because of the various sins created during the operation of the enterprise, I fell into hell after death, which makes me sigh with regret. But now I understand that the universal law is purely positive, without a shred of negativity; if one uses the Buddha-teachings to help Chaoyang Technology complete a huge transformation, then all the karma of the enterprise will be different, and it will usher in a brand new destiny.
Here, I also want to convey the following message to my wife. I hope you can help every employee of Chaoyang Technology come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to receive Buddhist education. I know this is not easy, but I believe that as long as you have faith in the Buddha, the Buddha will bless you, making all good conditions come to fruition.
In addition, if you promote and encourage everyone in the company to chant this "Namo Amituofo," and play this Buddha-name twenty-four hours a day, it will purify the magnetic field of the entire company. This actually has a very great help for the company's operations, the employees' work quality, and even their Body-Mind-Spirit health.
I hope even more that you will establish a plan in the company to continuously select young children and send them to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre for advanced studies. I hope they will learn the Buddha-teachings here and one day realise their true nature and attain Buddhahood like Practitioner Su. This merit is not only the blessing of China but will also be the blessing of all mankind.
From a personal perspective, I hope that you will take the time to properly understand the Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, and after learning what the "Namo Amituofo Salvation Team" is doing, provide resources and funding as much as you can to offer a little help in the process of Namo Amituofo saving beings. This is an obligation that each of us should fulfil. Because the Buddha is so compassionate, He never asks anything of us, always giving everything to help us. Now that the Buddha has come to this world, it is to help all people on Earth to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where they can be free from aging, free from illness, and their spirit never dies. As a part of this Earth, it is only natural that we should also contribute our strength. Life is full of impermanence; we do not know when illness and death might suddenly arrive. Aging is happening at every moment, precisely because people's thoughts never cease. It turns out that when this heart is only considering this "self," every thought causes one's energy to diminish. If this heart is thinking of others, giving to others, and helping others, in such a situation, every thought can actually allow one's soul energy to be replenished. It turns out that the power of the heart is so great. If every thought is this "Namo Amituofo," and we use this Buddha-name to help beings, when we hold such a pure heart of helping others, every recitation of the Buddha-name can release the most virtuous and beautiful energy. This energy not only provides great nourishment to one's own soul but also allows the light of compassion within one's self-nature to grow significantly. This Buddha-name is so inconceivable. At this moment, I, Shen Qingkai, am on the Dharma-Nature Land, reciting this "Namo Amituofo" at every moment, making a vow to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the future, and hoping that after attaining Buddhahood in the Pure Land, I will return to the world to save beings together with Namo Amituofo. Gratitude to Namo Amituofo, gratitude to Practitioner Su. Namo Amituofo Shen Qingkai [[BLOCK_0]]
