Greetings to everyone. I am Wu Ligan. I first founded Nan Ya Electronics in Taiwan, and later expanded into Jiangsu, China, to establish Universal Scientific Industrial. Both companies were subsequently listed on the stock exchange. Throughout my life, I earned immense wealth, and I have always managed my business with a low-profile and pragmatic attitude. However, in the end, like everyone else in the world, I had to face the process of aging, illness, and death.
Aging and illness are indeed tremendous trials in every person's life. In truth, no matter how much one does not want to age, one must still age; no matter how much one does not want to fall ill, there will always come a day of sickness. After death, my spirit entered the heart-gouging hell.
To be honest, in this hell, even though I was usually quite calm, I was truly terrified out of my wits. Because my heart was continuously being gouged out until death; the process was extremely painful, and I never expected that after death, I would be reborn repeatedly, suffering the torture of having my heart gouged out over and over again.
I felt very confused about why I had entered hell. After all, throughout my life, I considered myself an upright businessman, an honest person, and I had never done anything illegal. How could I be sent to such a terrifying place to suffer punishment after death? But I believe that since I arrived in this place, there must be a reason for it, only that I was unable to understand it at the time.
After suffering in hell for an unknown amount of time, a golden light shone upon my spirit, and I arrived at the Western Land of Nature at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. At this moment, my spirit is being settled in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, feeling very peaceful and joyful.
After listening to the sutras and learning that I would have the opportunity to be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss in the future, I felt deeply grateful. Practitioner Su not only saved me from hell but also gave me the opportunity to be reborn in the Western Land and attain Buddhahood. I truly do not know how to repay such great kindness and virtue.
Fortunately, I now have this opportunity to repay a small part of Practitioner Su's kindness by using this precious interview to speak with the people of the world. At this moment, from the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I appeal to all the people in Taiwan and all of China, especially the many entrepreneurs who know me, Wu Ligan. You all know my character to some extent; I have always been very practical, so what I am telling you now continues my consistent style—sincere and down-to-earth, without any flowery words.
Do you know where your spirit will go after you die? Here, I can tell you with great certainty that most corporate tycoons or entrepreneurs who have earned massive wealth actually enter hell to suffer punishment after death. This is what I have seen with my own eyes from the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
Practitioner Su of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia is extremely compassionate. He is a Taiwanese who practised and realised his true nature and attained Buddhahood in Taiwan. After attaining the Buddha's path, as the only living Buddha in the human world, he uses his countless manifestations at every moment to perform for immeasurable and boundless suffering spirits. This includes every place in China, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and even across the world; all are within the scope of Practitioner Su's Chao Du.
Practitioner Su's countless manifestations allow his spiritual emanations to cover the entire Earth. At the same time that the Holy Name "" is sounded, Amitabha Buddha radiates great light, leading the immeasurable and boundless suffering spirits of the Earth to liberation. Watching these scenes with wide eyes from the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I realised that a person could actually exert such tremendous power to benefit the world; this is truly inconceivable.
Who would have thought that our human bodies possess such great potential? After listening to the sutras and hearing the Dharma, I learned that every person is actually a Buddha, only that they have become deluded in this world and forgotten their original appearance.
What people should truly do when they come to this world is not to pursue worldly wealth, fame, or profit, nor to marry and have children, and certainly not to run any business; rather, they should come to this world to help sentient beings leave suffering and gain happiness. Practitioner Su has provided the best demonstration; after attaining Buddhahood, he continues to help spirits obtain deliverance, saving them to the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
Why did I, Wu Ligan, enter hell? It was simply because I took the wrong path when I came to this world and did not clearly understand what I should be doing. If I could have come into contact with the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre earlier and known that my life's purpose should have been to make a vow to attain Buddhahood and save sentient beings, then I would not have entered hell to suffer punishment.
Therefore, Buddhist education is truly very important for everyone. After all, if the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way were not explained to us by the Buddha, how could anyone understand them? And every bit of selfish thought and action, once it goes against the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, has already laid the groundwork for one's future entry into hell.
For those of us who possess massive wealth or run large businesses, physical health has always been a key focus. After all, without a healthy body as a foundation, it is impossible to run a business or develop any goals. So I know that you entrepreneurs are actually investing a great deal of capital in maintaining your bodies and focusing on your health.
However, although modern medical science is becoming increasingly advanced and is vastly different from the past, it has ultimately failed to truly help everyone solve the problem of illness. Now, the antidote for aging and illness has appeared, right here at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. As long as you are willing to accept Buddhist education, you all have the opportunity to obtain this antidote: it requires no money, no medical procedures, and no extra physical maintenance.
One only needs to truly put in the work from the heart, allowing one's mental note to dwell at all times in the Holy Name "Namo Amituofo," and one will be able to retrieve the originally pure and good appearance of one's true self—that is the Buddha-nature within everyone that is free from aging, free from illness, and the spirit never dies.
To be free from aging, free from illness, and for your spirit never to die is not out of reach, but the prerequisite is that you must truly be willing to make a vow to save sentient beings. Because all suffering is actually due to the failure to reconcile with the within one's own body. Due to past attachments to all kinds of worldly illusions, we have caused significant harm to sentient beings. If you want to avoid them seeking revenge after they awaken, which leads to illness or aging, the only way is to truly replace this heart with the Holy Name "Namo Amituofo," transforming the false, ordinary heart that is swept away by the flow of into your own inherent heart of Amitabha Buddha.
It turns out that the Buddha-heart is the true heart that was covered up by karma, and we were originally Buddhas. So when you are willing to believe in the present moment that you are a Buddha, and sincerely and earnestly recite the Holy Name "Namo Amituofo," you are actually calling out to your true self. This will awaken the great vows you have made long ago and open up the and goodness within your heart.
Entrepreneurs, if you want to avoid aging and illness, as well as reincarnation in the six realms of existence after death, you should truly come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre as soon as possible to draw close to and learn from Amitabha Buddha. This is my sincere invitation to you all here, Wu Ligan.
To have the opportunity to grow a business to a certain scale in this lifetime is truly not an easy thing; you are all people with great . However, whether it is people in the human world or spirits in the spiritual realms, everyone is actually suffering greatly—suffering from the inability to be the master.
In the six realms of rebirth, no one can avoid the torment of suffering, because impermanence is the theme song of the six realms of rebirth. It is also because our hearts are so changeable that they cannot truly settle down. After all, the reason people forget that they were originally Buddhas is that they suddenly lost their awareness at some moment and gave rise to wrong thoughts. It is just such a wrong mental note that goes against the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way that leads to the miserable outcome of being judged into the six realms of rebirth.
Do you believe it? You were all once holy assembly of the Western Land who made vows to descend to the world to save sentient beings. It is only because, while saving beings in the world, you could not forget worldly emotions and could not let go of worldly love; this tiny bit of attachment made it impossible for you to return to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
At this moment, Amitabha Buddha has arrived at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, hoping to lead all the children who once descended from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss and became lost back to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Through education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, the Buddha hopes that everyone can understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, and that after following such truth, everyone can obtain the benefits of being free from aging, free from illness, and the spirit never dies.
For the salvation team of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, the objects of salvation are, in the spiritual realms, the entire Dharma Realm and empty space; in the human world, it covers every person on Earth. You entrepreneurs are outstanding people; since you have the ability, you should quickly invest in the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and help it expand its mission to save the world. This is not only a brilliant investment but also the most practical help for yourself. Because helping sentient beings is helping yourself. Saving all of humanity on Earth and saving immeasurable and boundless souls is actually saving your own suffering soul.
Because at this very moment, your souls may no longer be in a complete state. How much of it is under your own control, and how much is controlled by other spirits? This is a big question mark.
Such a situation is not unique to you; in fact, every person on Earth has this problem. It turns out that there are countless karmic creditors within this body, and if you cannot reconcile with them, you will be subjected to their intense retaliation. This is also a matter of natural law; after all, it is only natural to pay back debts.
To pay off these massive debts, the conditions required are not any tangible assets, materials, or resources in the world, and certainly not money. One must have a sincere heart of repentance and merit to reconcile with the karmic creditors within . This is not an easy task, because it requires immeasurable and boundless merit to pay off the massive debts owed since immeasurable eons ago. Ask yourselves, is it possible to accumulate so much merit? I think this is a very difficult thing for you to achieve.
And now that Amitabha Buddha has come to the world, this is our wonderful opportunity, and the opportunity for everyone on Earth. Because as long as you follow the Buddha to save the world, every bit of contribution can receive feedback from the entire Dharma Realm and empty space. Because Amitabha Buddha's connection is with the entire Dharma Realm and empty space, the Milky Way, the universe, the heavens beyond heavens, other realms, and even the Earth; there is not a single place where the spirits are not connected to Amitabha Buddha, and there is not a single space where the spirits are not sentient beings with karmic affinity to Amitabha Buddha. Therefore, when we follow Amitabha Buddha to save the world, we can follow the Buddha's footsteps, use the Buddha's power, and under the leadership of Amitabha Buddha, exert the greatest effect with the least effort, accumulating immeasurable and boundless merit, and this is not a dream.
As long as you can truly believe in the Buddha, believe in the Buddha's teachings, and join the salvation team, it is not a difficult thing. However, what is needed is a true, compassionate vow in the heart to help sentient beings. This is very difficult if you say it is difficult, but it is not difficult if you say it is not. What is difficult is how many people, while seeing this information, still have their own true self in control of their bodies? But for many people, the situation is that their soul is kicked to the side in the space of the body by karmic creditors or demon crowds, making it difficult to listen to truly practical and useful good advice.
If those who see this information are under the control of their own true self, or if their own soul still has a high degree of control over the body, then they will naturally be willing to join the salvation team, and making a great vow to help sentient beings will not be too difficult. Because every person has firmly sought the Buddha's path in the past, and the Buddha-vows once made have never dissipated in our souls; they have only been covered by too much dust. Therefore, Amitabha Buddha is very wise, teaching us to recite the Holy Name "Namo Amituofo" to cleanse all our pollution thoroughly. When all pollution disappears and the heart-light shines brightly, that is the moment of realising one's true nature.
Thus, there is an opportunity, like Practitioner Su, to exert various inconceivable merits and divine powers to save all boundless suffering sentient beings. Even performing spiritual healing for people in the human world—this is truly an incredible thing! After all, for the cancer that many people in the world fear, as long as the person who has the illness has not undergone surgery, Practitioner Su has a way to save them. This requires real skills! It shows that Practitioner Su has a solid foundation. This foundation is actually because Practitioner Su has performed Chao Du for many sentient beings, accumulating immeasurable and boundless merit. This inexhaustible merit is to be given to all spirits who need help! This is the compassion of the Buddha.
Now, as the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre expands, there is much construction underway. With the Namo Amitabha Buddhist Hall under construction, there will be the headquarters of the Pure Land school and various facilities to be built in the future. This is because the benefits of being free from aging, free from illness, and the spirit never dies are something that no one on Earth can do without; in the future, this place will inevitably be crowded. Therefore, before that, what needs to be fulfilled is the maturation of these good Causal Conditions.
Therefore, I hope that everyone can become a member of the Namo Amituofo salvation team, and together, support this unprecedented and great cause.
Here, I would also like to specifically explain a project to all entrepreneurs, which is a plan regarding the temple, called the construction of "Namo Amituofo Billboards".
Practitioner Su is extremely compassionate and has expended much effort to establish many Namo Amituofo billboards around the world, including in Taiwan, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and other places. These billboards are extraordinary; in the spiritual realms, one can clearly see the billboards emitting immense golden light. This golden light can save suffering spirits, helping them leave suffering behind and gain happiness. This is a fact I have discovered in the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
If you entrepreneurs can generate the resolve to set up many Namo Amituofo billboards throughout China and Taiwan, many suffering souls on both sides of the strait can obtain deliverance. This would be of immense help to everyone.
After all, in the past, each of us has incurred so many karmic debts and harmed so many beings. If we do not help sentient beings now, how can we save ourselves? If you are still considering your own body, planning and calculating for personal gain, or worrying about losing the property and resources you currently possess, any hesitation or reluctance, even in the slightest, actually indicates that you have failed to see the truth clearly.
In truth, on this path of life, if one cannot strive with all one's might to help sentient beings, it is arguably impossible to have a good outcome. This is because selfish thoughts will awaken the immeasurable and boundless karmic creditors within one's body. When the time for retribution comes, how will your soul endure it? And when the soul loses control over the body, allowing the body to become a puppet for karmic creditors and demon crowds, the boundless sins created by this body will still have to be repaid by your own soul. How truly counterproductive that would be.
Therefore, having said so much here, I, Wu Li-Gan, actually want to tell everyone: there is only one direction to take on this path of life, and that is to follow Namo Amituofo to save sentient beings. If you wish for your life to no longer suffer, there is only one way: to let go of everything in this world and give away everything you possess completely. Use these resources, funds, property, and all your blessings to help sentient beings leave suffering behind and gain happiness, or to promote the Buddhist education of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Only then can everyone have a glimmer of hope.
This is not alarmist talk, but a very sincere conclusion I have reached after seeing the various truths of the human world from the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
Well, having said so much, I actually just want to tell everyone that Namo Amituofo has now arrived in the human world, and together with the flesh-body Buddha in the human world, Practitioner Su, they will join forces to save immeasurable and boundless suffering spirits, which of course includes the soul within each of our bodies.
Therefore, everyone should truly seize this opportunity. Even if you do not consider yourself, you should consider the immeasurable and boundless karmic creditors within your body. After all, the karmic creditors within each person are actually suffering very, very much. Now that the Buddha has come to the world, I hope everyone can pay off the debts owed in the past and reconcile with the spirits within your own bodies. Now, as long as you come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, you have the opportunity to be saved. This is an opportunity that will not come again once it has passed; everyone must seize it.
I am very grateful that you are willing to spend your precious time listening to me, a person who has already died. In short, although the human body dies, the soul does not die; the spirit is unborn and undying. This is a point that everyone must truly remember.
How can one allow one's spirit to attain true peace and happiness? Only by being reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. My future is in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss; where does your future lie? I hope that we can all meet again in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Gratitude to Namo Amituofo, gratitude to Practitioner Su.
