Compared to the vast, beginningless journey of our spiritual life, this current human life is but a fleeting moment. Yet, despite the countless eons that have passed, we have failed to achieve the ultimate goal. Now, in this very life, you have a rare and precious opportunity to achieve what has eluded you for so long: to realise your true nature and attain Buddhahood.
The Rare Opportunity of This Life
My children, if you can truly listen to the teachings of the Buddha and Practitioner Su, you will find the strength to change your personality traits, engage in deep purification, and maintain your Faith, Vows, and Practice without retreat. This is the only way to break through your current limitations and move forward on the path.
Resolving the Past
Things that you could not accomplish in your past lives can now be achieved here at Hsiang Kuang: A Sacred Sanctuary. With the guidance of the Buddha and Practitioner Su, you have the tools to transform your life:
- Listen to sutras and hear the to gain wisdom.Reflect deeply upon your actions and engage in sincere repenting.Change your ways to align with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way.Resolve the conflicts with your .Invite spirits to receive , allowing them to be saved.Dissolve and clear the obstacles that block your path.
By doing this, you have the opportunity to improve your state of mind, overcome the that plagues your practice, and navigate the complex situations of this space.
The Urgency of Transformation
It does not matter how long you have been studying the Dharma, nor does it matter how old you are, whether you are ill, or even if you feel that death is standing before you. As long as you are willing to repent, change your ways, and transform your personality, it is never too late. When you change, you are the first to be saved, and you simultaneously save the countless beings residing within your own body.
The Power of Immediate Action
When you change in the present moment, you are saved in the present moment. If you delay, or if you lack the true intention to repent, you lose the opportunity for salvation. Changing your personality is never too late. To know your mistakes and be able to change them is the greatest form of Goodness.
The spiritual life that has failed to achieve its goal since time immemorial can finally succeed here at Hsiang Kuang: A Sacred Sanctuary. This success is waiting for your actual practice. Do not delay, for to do so is to lose a great benefit. If you listen and seize this moment—if you change your ways, admit your faults, and repent right now—you will immediately receive the greatest benefit.
