Teachings by Teacher Xia Lianju:

Children, do you know that Namo Amituofo’s Buddha-power is immeasurable and His vows are endless?

The Forty-eight Great Vows cover every land, planet, and being in the Dharma Realm,

especially every being in the Saha world, even down to air molecules and dust particles,

if any being in the Dharma Realm can be led by the Buddha, they are like air molecules and dust particles that can shed their outer garments of air and dust to recover their original form, which is truly magnificent.

Why does the Buddha possess such great power and ability to save countless suffering beings simultaneously?

Because the Buddha has immeasurable and boundless countless manifestations,

as stated in the Praise of the Buddha: "In the light, there are countless billions of Buddhas, and the manifestations of Bodhisattvas are also boundless."

Namo Amituofo's form is tall and vast beyond compare;

the Earth is like a grain of sand or a small stone in the palm of the Buddha,

yet the Buddha understands the past, present, and future of every being on Earth,

including the spirit of a grain of sand or a stone.

Make good use of the Buddha's power in the Pure Land's two-power Dharma door.

When self-power arises, one receives the Buddha's blessings to assist in the progress of practice.

The Buddha's power is a strong and powerful aid for the practitioner.

The more one believes in the Buddha and is fiercely diligent, the more one can be in sync with the Buddha and receive the Buddha's blessings,

and the more magnificent and significant their achievements will be.

If one lacks the heart or strength to be diligent, or does not truly believe in the Buddha, the Buddha's blessings received will be limited.

Those who do not truly believe in the Buddha refer to those who say they believe in the Buddha, and also perform prostrations and recite the Sutras,

but fail to follow the teachings, or do not act according to the Buddha's teachings, or even commit transgressions,

which means they do not truly believe in the Buddha.

Therefore, one must believe in the Buddha and be diligent in practice so that the Buddha's blessings can be received.

At this time, Namo Amituofo is residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia,

which is a great opportunity to make good use of the Buddha's power.

The fourfold assembly should listen, follow the Buddha's teachings, and be fiercely diligent,

follow the teachings of The Infinite Sutra (The Buddha Speaks the Mahayana, Infinite Life, Adornment, Purity, Impartiality, and Enlightenment Sutra),

act according to the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way,

and those who can act in this way will be able to purify their Body-Mind-Spirit, enter the Buddha-heart,

realise their innate ability, and soon achieve Awakening and attain Buddhahood.
