The mind is a profound mystery. It can be as vast as the entire realm of emptiness, yet it can also be as small and constricted as a single grain of sand. It possesses the potential to encompass everything in existence, yet at times, it finds it difficult to tolerate even the smallest obstacle. This capacity depends entirely upon your and your mind-capacity, as well as your Wisdom and your ability to embrace all things.
The Vastness of the Heart
Those who possess true compassion wish for all beings to leave suffering behind and find happiness. Because of this vow, they are able to open their mind-capacity wide. They are willing to accept the shortcomings, the inadequacies, and the deep suffering of others, and through this acceptance, they are able to save them and help them leave suffering behind. This is the path of the Bodhisattvas.
Those who possess true Wisdom use it to reveal the truth and subdue the demon nature. They understand that the demon crowds fall into the Demon Realm not because they are inherently evil, but because their intense, unguided personalities have never received proper direction. Consequently, their inherent Goodness has been covered over, allowing their demon nature to manifest and dominate their actions.
The Light of Transformation
Now, in this present age, Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su have appeared in this world simultaneously. Because of this, the of the awakened being is revealed. This presence allows the practitioner to remain fearless in the face of interference from the demon crowds. Instead of reacting with fear, they are able to embrace these beings with great compassion.
Through the power of great fearlessness, the power of merit, and the illumination of the Buddha’s light, the demon nature is gradually dissolved. We then teach these beings the truth of their actions. The negative causes they have sown in the past will inevitably lead to terrible evil consequences, such as:
- Being trapped in the depths of icy mountains where the cold is unbearable.
- Suffering in the crushing depths of the ocean.
- Enduring the intense, eternal fires of the underworld.
- Being trapped within the earth or submerged in molten lava.
- Experiencing physical mutilation and suffering that is beyond words.
A Rare Opportunity for Liberation
If these beings are willing to surrender, they can enter the Western Land of Dharma Nature and be free from all such suffering. The demon crowds must understand that if it were not for the Buddha or appearing in this world, with their endless compassion and Wisdom, and their unwavering heart to save all beings, they would not be able to endure the magic used by the demon crowds to obstruct the or the physical attacks directed at them.
Practitioner Su’s Dharma Body has already subdued and taught an uncountable number of demon crowds. This is an opportunity that is difficult to encounter even in millions of years. Opening your mind-capacity is an absolute necessity for your own practice, for realising your true nature, and for saving all beings. You must strive to expand your heart so that you may truly walk the path of the Buddha.
Namo Amituofo.
