Xia Lili:

My name is Xia Lili. Namo Amituofo is truly so compassionate, leading me to this very dignified and pure Buddha-land. Today, being allowed to accept an interview, I am a bit shocked, but I also intend to accept this interview with a calm and peaceful mind.

When I first left the human world, I thought it was just something everyone has to experience. But for me, it was a very painful experience. Before dying, what people hope for most is that their loved ones can be by their side, but my husband at the time had left the human world less than a year before. Afterwards, I was in great pain and did not know what I could do to fill this empty heart.

Although my children were filial, for me, my husband was the most important person in my life; I could not let go of him. I fell ill, and finally left the human world in a state of physical pain and spiritual loneliness.

Now that I have come to know Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, it is truly wonderful; all this mist and pain have finally vanished, never to exist again. I never want to live that kind of miserable life again. Now I am just a spirit, without a body, having come to such a good place to live a good life, learning the true Buddhist education, surrounded by many very good people. Everyone is together, wanting to diligent practice, and to understand all the truths that the Buddha's teachings bring to everyone. Many things I only knew after coming to this place. Everyone here is broadening their horizons together, and also knowing that because we did bad things in the past, or created karma, we fell into the hells after death, and then came to the Western Land of Dharma Nature.

Honestly, most of us have been to the hells; only a few have not. I once suffered in the heart-gouging hell for two or three months, and now I have been led by Practitioner Su to the Western Land of Dharma Nature. My heart is filled with gratitude beyond words; without the Buddha, there would be no chance for us suffering beings to obtain deliverance. Therefore, I now sincerely express my gratitude to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su.

I was a senior broadcaster, and speaking of it, it certainly carries a sense of nostalgia. Because my accent was very standard, I had the opportunity to become a broadcaster through Causal Conditions. I also cherished this professional work in my life very much; for me, it was an extremely important part of my life. I always faced this work with a joyful heart. This is actually a common occurrence in the human world—when people appreciate me, I do my work more happily and with more dedication.

However, in the decades of being a broadcaster, I actually nurtured quite a bit of ego, and even created some sins in the process. To be honest, how could we report the news without creating karma? Everyone who sees what is reported in the news can probably understand a thing or two. There are always some news stories that affect people's hearts. The truth reported cannot fully present the whole picture of the facts; there is a little bit of one's own subjective meaning in it, or the news I participated in reporting was negative in itself and set a bad example for the world.

Because we did not understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, and could not distinguish between good and evil, it was very easy for us to commit these mistakes, which is a natural consequence. Therefore, because we influenced the hearts of generation after generation with our words, we naturally could not avoid suffering the retribution of the hells.

Looking back at the human world now, and looking at the news media field that was my profession, ah, it truly shocked me!

In our era, it was actually considered conservative! In our era, technology was not yet so advanced. The things people said and the news expressed were also inclined to be more conservative and objective.

But today, in an environment where major media companies compete fiercely, the content that everyone rushes to report is increasingly negative, or appears absurd and bizarre, or focuses specifically on certain topics while ignoring many more virtuous or good topics.

This excessive focus on negative topics actually has a great impact on people's hearts. And the people who watch the news also do not understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way of the Buddha's teachings. In the process of watching, they think a lot and analyse a lot; thinking of bad things and seeing bad things, they also created a lot of sins. With such a series of sins piling up, how can people bear it? Everyone is spinning endlessly in this vortex of layered karma. I am one of them.

Honestly, it is not very easy for everyone in this world to fully abide by the Universal Principle and the Right Way without creating karma. People generally have some selfish hearts, their own thoughts and subjectivity, and very stubborn minds. Therefore, when doing things, it is always inevitable to be biased and have a distorted side. How can all this be compensated for?

To be honest, the bad influence we brought to the world is really not something that can be compensated for in a few words. Because these messages and sounds that were spread have already been deeply rooted in people's hearts—that is, in the Buddha's teachings, a new term I have learned now is called Alaya consciousness. The sounds I emitted here, and the negative information they carried, once absorbed into people's Alaya consciousness, cannot be erased. They will follow this person throughout your many lives; as long as a corresponding situation appears, it will trigger the seeds of this Alaya consciousness. Oh my, so one cannot speak carelessly; this is the truth.

We news anchors, although I was considered a conservative, still committed quite a few sins. Not to mention the people I see in the world today, who are walking a path even more biased than mine. It is also very heartbreaking to think about. In fact, Taiwan, where we lived, is a very simple and kind society, but this media world is more complex. People like to gossip and think about bad things inside it. This development is really not conducive to people nurturing a kind heart and good thoughts.

Therefore, I honestly confess everything I have done, also wanting to tell the people of the world that many people go to the hells. It is not only those big criminals who kill and set fires who go to the hells; if people's hearts are bad and they do things that are not good or not in accordance with the Dharma, they will have to suffer retribution after death. I am an example; I was kind to others throughout my life, and everyone respected and liked me very much. I did not form any grudges with others, and my heart was open. But just because the career I did influenced people, I still could not avoid this retribution. This is a natural occurrence in nature, which can be explained very thoroughly in the Buddha's teachings; this is also the reason why I admire Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su so much.

Now that I have come to the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I have truly seen through many things that people in the human world cannot understand. Therefore, I also want to talk about what I have seen and heard now from a very objective perspective, hoping to serve as a mirror for everyone, so you do not follow my old path. If your current profession causes you to speak bad words or to demonstrate bad behaviour to the world, please do not continue. Human life is very important; do not create sins in this life that cannot be repaid just to make a living, and then have to go to the hells to suffer all kinds of misery. This is truly not worth it!

Now that I am in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I have learned the news that Namo Amituofo has come to the human world. I will broadcast this good news to everyone in the way I did when I was a broadcaster, hoping that everyone can accept it and develop a yearning for it.

Below are a few sentences I want to broadcast; please enjoy:

In a very peaceful small town in Australia, called Gubangji, Namo Amituofo is residing here. This is because there is a Practitioner Su in the human world who achieved the awakened being in Taiwan and later came to Australia, developing this precious land of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, allowing people of the world to have a place to rely on.

Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre because of the presence of Namo Amituofo, it can receive Namo Amituofo's personal teachings at any time, as well as the teachings of Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju and the explanations of Practitioner Su. I hope the world can understand this very magnificent matter. Please open the website and search for Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre!

Or if you happen to pass by the highways in Taiwan, especially on the highways in Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, there are billboards of Namo Amituofo; please take note when you pass by. This billboard is very special; in the eyes of the spiritual realms, it even shines and glows, and can lead many beings to the Western Land of Dharma Nature. Do not underestimate these billboards; they can also allow people in the world to know about Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Only if you have the opportunity to come to this place can you truly leaving suffering and gaining happiness.

Alright, the above is my simple explanation. This time, I am reporting the news that Namo Amituofo is residing here at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia to everyone in my capacity as a broadcaster. I hope that, having left the human world, I can still receive the favour of my fans and that they can come to listen to this broadcast. This is the most important report of all the news reports I have ever given in my life; please listen carefully.

Finally, I want to say that Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre truly brings great surprises and shocks to the human world. I hope my family can come to this Buddha-land soon to reconnect with me, or at least believe that I am doing very well now, and please do not worry about me anymore.

I am grateful to the public at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre for their willingness to give for me. Most of all, I am grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su!

Namo Amituofo
