Teachings by Teacher Xia Lianju:
Before transforming , one's lifespan is dominated by karma, and impermanence proceeds throughout life;
even for a practitioner, this is so.
If, at the time of death, a practitioner
has not yet achieved spiritual success or become an awakened being, but is able to be reborn in the of Ultimate Bliss,
within the four lands, three grades, and nine levels,
can continue to practise in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, then they are those who possess: , , .
If one does not enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, then where will one be reincarnated in the next life?
When will one be able to hear the and practise again?
One will suffer in reincarnation without end.
Therefore, when the fourfold assembly recognises the current situation and the countless beings awaiting salvation,
they must understand in their hearts that they need to overcome various difficulties such as being drowsy or entering space, and be able to awaken,
strive to catch up, and quickly follow in the footsteps of Practitioner Su.
Even if there has been a pause before, lift your feet and keep up quickly;
in the midst of change, there are laws of karma and cause and effect to follow, and one can create good causes again to obtain good fruit.
If chanting Buddha's name is ineffective and easily interrupted, or if you become drowsy or enter space during prostrations,
or if you fail to complete one sutra during your daily practice,
please actively change your personality traits, change your ways quickly, and keep up quickly with the footsteps of Practitioner Su.
Those who can take on changes at any time and can adapt,
under the Buddha's blessings, can connect with the Buddha's path and continue to move forward.
This is where the fourfold assembly of the Fragrant Light Buddha-land benefits under the Buddha's blessings.
I hope the fourfold assembly will make good use of their limited lives to save infinite beings,
and remember that you and the beings within our bodies are also among these beings,
and those awaiting salvation are beings connected by karmic affinity from the past.
Just keep up quickly!
