Opening the Door to the True Self
Teachings from Namo Amituofo as Recorded by Venerable HaiZe
May 15, 2022
Teachings from Namo Amituofo, recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
The world inside the door and the world outside the door are vastly different. When you stand at the threshold, you must choose which path your heart will follow.
The Illusion of the Outside World
The world outside the door is the world of ordinary life, a place filled with endless disturbances and confusion. In this realm, the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death is inescapable. How many times have we cycled through these stages, believing them to be the natural order of existence? Over countless eons, we have entered the cycle of rebirth time and time again. We have shed so many tears and chased so many dreams, yet where are they now? They have all vanished into emptiness.
If you realise that everything in this world is merely an illusion, you will understand that searching for truth within a dream is a task that can never be completed. You must wake up from this dream of reincarnation.
The Sanctuary of the Fragrant Light
The world inside the door is a place where we leave the dust of the world behind. It is the infinite world of the Fragrant Light. Here, the fourfold assembly gathers with a singular purpose:
- To practise the Three Learnings of , Samadhi, and Wisdom as the foundation of their lives.
- To seek the Truth and see the reality of the universe.
- To avoid the hollow, illusory passage of time in the cycle of rebirth.
- To enter the of Ultimate Bliss and attain the ultimate goal of life.
Practitioner Su has successfully realised his true self-nature. Out of profound , he takes on the suffering of all beings, acting as a bridge for their liberation. Because of this, he has moved Namo Amituofo to descend and truly abide here, responding to the needs of the world and working together in the mission to save all beings.
The Precious Affinity
Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju also shares a deep affinity with the Fragrant Light. Together with Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, he has never ceased to teach and transform beings. The fourfold assembly must now move forward with one heart and one mind. Practitioner Su leads the way, but every practitioner must recognise the value of this path:
- This is a rare opportunity, difficult to encounter in millions of years.
- You must treasure this magnificent Dharma affinity.
- When you enter this door, you will find treasures beyond measure.
- The most precious treasure of all is the rediscovery of your own true nature.
Yet, many people remain unaware of this. Some know of it but do not believe, dismissing it as confusion. By refusing to engage with this path, they lose the greatest benefit of their lives.
The Mission of the Salvation Team
Practitioner Su has laboured with great hardship to cultivate this land. Attaining the fruit of Buddhahood through seeing one's true nature is not an easy task. Once this opportunity manifests in the world, you must cherish it. Follow the teachings, listen to the guidance provided, and practise diligently to see your true nature.
Practitioner Su’s compassionate heart, which takes on the suffering of all beings, has moved the Buddha of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to provide assistance. The presence of Namo Amituofo in this world is not an ordinary event; it is a manifestation that frequently reveals the inconceivable. The boundaries of space have been opened to connect with the Dharma Realm. The travels back and forth to save beings, and countless spirits from the spiritual realms and the ten directions of the galaxy have been saved from their suffering. They are being delivered to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss or guided into the Celestial and human realms through .
Opening the Heart Door
The door inside and the door outside are ultimately the doors of your own heart. This heart must be aligned with the Buddha-heart. It must be in accordance with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. You must follow the laws of the universe in every action. Only by letting go of can you subdue the influence of demons and resentment, and restore your original, true face.
This is the work of the salvation team. Led by Practitioner Su, we move forward, repenting for the karmic debts of the past and constantly striving to achieve excellence as an act of true repentance. The past is behind us now. As the fourfold assembly follows this path, the door of the Fragrant Light will open wide. The world will be able to see the heart of Namo Amituofo. May this light shine boundlessly across the world, as the fourfold assembly works with one heart and one strength to expand the work of saving the world through the Fragrant Light.
