Lay Practitioner Chen Huang:

Namo Amituofo, I am so grateful for the compassion of the Buddha and the compassion of Practitioner Su!

Oh my, having been dead for so long, I was trapped in that place, constantly repeating the process of dying.

I have finally attained liberation! To be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is something I never dared to imagine, nor did I know what the world after death was like. In the past, I acted entirely according to my own personality, which led to the outcome I faced.

Now that I have been reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, my heart is much purer. I am sharing these words with everyone today primarily to tell you that one must uphold moral foundations and must understand the Buddha’s teachings. Otherwise, I do not know how many more people will follow the same path as us. If you are not suffering in the hells, you are suffering in various different spaces; this is the true world after death.

After this old woman was reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I was no longer the old woman I once was. When I was in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, my appearance had already become very dignified; I did not expect that after arriving in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, it would be even more incomparably dignified. My entire body was shining with golden light, just like the Buddha’s body. Everywhere here, there is lotus fragrance wafting; it is very special. I am no longer in a female form; I am in a male form. Namo Amituofo bestows upon all beings a compassionate heart, allowing everyone to treat each other with an equal heart; this is true equality for all beings. This is the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and it is also the most beautiful spiritual world in the universe.

I am now able to come to this place, and my heart is filled with immense gratitude. First, I will kowtow here to express my gratitude to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su. Without the compassionate guidance of the Buddha in establishing such a wonderful Buddha-land, we, the deceased, would still be suffering.

If I were to tell everyone my story from before, I must explain it, otherwise, you would not know what the laws of karma and cause and effect are, or what the world after death is like. My life did not go smoothly. Although life was quite pleasant, because of my own personality, my heart could never truly be at peace.

In my early sixties, once, out of spite towards my son, I actually swallowed pesticide in one go and died. At that time, I wanted to remain in the world, but I no longer had the ability to do so because my body was already failing. At the moment I collapsed, I regretted my impulsiveness, but it was already too late to do anything about it.

I died by suicide, so after death, I remained in that space at the time, constantly repeating the act of suicide, which made my life worse than death. This was no different from suffering in the hells; living and dying, dying and living, living a life of repeated suffering. However, this place was always slightly better than the hells. I looked at the people suffering in the hells, and my heart was also very painful. I know that everyone is having a hard time; because everyone has not received Buddhist education, they all went to different places to receive retribution after death; this is also the principle of the laws of karma and cause and effect.

Because I did not understand the Buddha’s teachings, I committed endless sins, which was the root cause of my suffering. To be honest, the wrong things I did were not just suicide. In fact, I could no longer be the master of myself at that time; I was being controlled by many karmic creditors and beings, causing me to do things that ended my own life. This was also because of the deviation in my personality that had accumulated over a lifetime, which gradually caused many karmic creditors and demon crowds to enter my body and use my physical form to do things that should not have been done; because of this, I had that tragic state when I died.

My family members might feel sad and heartbroken because of my death. But there is no way to know, because I have always been in suffering. I advise my family members, hoping that everyone can let go, because the responsibility for all of this does not lie entirely with everyone, but rather my own personality attracted such an outcome. Of course, this is also an outcome caused by our collective karma.

In any case, I must admit that my personality was not good, which attracted such an outcome. I also hope that those who see this interview will take it as a lesson and not follow my old path. Otherwise, when you reach the end of your life, you will not be able to be the master of yourself; and your destination after death will certainly not be a good place. This matter is the tragedy of life!

Now I have received the salvation of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, and my heart is full of gratitude and joy. I also know that by following the Buddha, I will not have that kind of personality as I did before. Now that I have completely changed my ways, I can share my experience with everyone, and I hope that everyone can delve deeper into the Buddha’s teachings, learn the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, and not go down the wrong path.

Well, I have said enough, and I will not say too much; in short, as long as everyone understands what I mean, that is enough. I am going to continue my practice in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Thank you all, thank you Namo Amituofo, thank you Practitioner Su.

Namo Amituofo
