The Boundless Beauty of the

The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is infinitely magnificent. Its beauty is beyond what words or written characters can ever describe. What is recorded in the sutras is true, and it has been personally verified by the ancestral masters and venerable masters of the past. It is far better for you to come and experience this realm for yourself. Here, every place is perfectly beautiful, and every event unfolds exactly as one wishes. The magnificence of this land is truly inexhaustible.

Namo Amituofo. I am Wu Hong. This is a message I am sending from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. I am deeply grateful to Practitioner Su for providing me with this opportunity to speak. Many of you may know of Sister Su or Practitioner Su, but perhaps you are not yet certain who Practitioner Su truly is. In truth, Practitioner Su is the manifestation of the spirit of Sister Su, which has been refined to a state of absolute purity and goodness. Her has manifested, and through this, she performs to save infinite suffering beings, helping them to be reborn in the Western Pure Land or the realms of humans and heavenly beings. This is why everyone respectfully addresses her as Practitioner Su. These are not my own words; these are the observations shared by the ancestral masters and venerable masters who reside here in the West.

The Connection Between Worlds

When you hear me speak in this manner, you will understand that I am no longer a person of this world. You might wonder: can the Western Pure Land really be as close as if it were right beside you? The answer is yes. I am currently in the Western Pure Land, and because the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia is capable of receiving messages from the West, I am able to speak with you today, even though many years have passed since I departed from the human world.

The Western Pure Land is infinitely magnificent. Its beauty is beyond what words or written characters can ever describe. What is recorded in the sutras is true, and it has been personally verified by the ancestral masters and venerable masters. It is far better for you to come and experience this realm for yourself. Every place is perfectly beautiful, and every event unfolds exactly as one wishes. The magnificence of this land is truly inexhaustible. The grace of the Buddha is difficult to repay; therefore, you must engage in even more diligent practice. Strive to attain the Buddha's path as early as possible so that you may save all beings connected to you and guide them back to the West. These are the sincere words from my heart.

The Path to True Liberation

I am deeply grateful to Practitioner Su for sending me to the Western Pure Land. After I passed away, I knew that many of my fellow practitioners and faithful followers helped me by performing Chao Du during assemblies, setting up memorial tablets, and dedicating merit to me. I am truly grateful to all of you. However, in reality, my journey to the Western Pure Land was facilitated by the then-Sister Su. Please allow me to speak the truth: this journey is a matter of mind-capacity, skills, awakened being, virtue, and emptiness. It is the heart of Namo Amituofo, the vows of Namo Amituofo, and the practice of Namo Amituofo. I am able to speak these words because, during my time here in the West, my spirit has been purified and nurtured, allowing me to speak with ease and without any lingering attachments.

The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia is a place where Namo Amituofo truly abides. With Practitioner Su present there, it serves as a vital stepping stone for rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The construction of the Amituofo Village is a rare opportunity; those who come to reside there will have great hope for rebirth, as they can be guided to the West by Practitioner Su. This is news of such rarity that you must seize this opportunity. This is the true gateway to rebirth in the Western Pure Land, the door to immortality. Though the physical body may die, the spirit does not.

The Eternal Nature of the Spirit

The name Wu Hong was merely a Dharma name I received when I became a monastic in the human world. Today, this name serves only to let you know who is speaking; it is no longer needed for any other purpose. My physical body has decayed and can no longer be used—what you call death—and I have been removed from the records of the human world. However, my spirit has not died. I have migrated from the human world to the West. Furthermore, under the compassionate blessing of the vows of Namo Amituofo, all of us here are called Namo Amituofo. Everything that Namo Amituofo possesses, we also possess, and we all have the capacity for the same skills as Namo Amituofo. It simply depends on whether we have the ability to manifest these qualities ourselves.

Therefore, even here in the Western Pure Land, one must engage in diligent practice to achieve success in learning. Namo Amituofo has provided us with the most beautiful and blissful environment. In the language of the world, it is the most magnificent and blissful enjoyment. My goal here is to find the Buddha nature within me that is identical to Namo Amituofo, just as Practitioner Su has been able to break through the turbid and evil human world to develop a Western Pure Land on earth. She has provided you with the best, most worry-free environment: the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia.

The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia is capable of connecting with the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. I wish to share these inconceivable achievements and skills of practice with all of you. The Amituofo Village at Hsiang Kuang is waiting for all of you who have the karmic affinity to reside there. First, become a person of the West, and then you shall enter the Western Land. Namo Amituofo.
