The Essence of Spiritual Deliverance
My children, what is the core of ? The most essential element is harmony. To resolve the issues between the living and the spirits from this life and past lives, one must seek a peaceful resolution. This is the only true and effective method. You must learn to communicate with sincerity, and you must offer your heartfelt repentance. By guiding these spirits toward the true direction—the of Ultimate Bliss—you take responsibility for your past actions. This is the price you pay for the harm you have caused in the past. Helping them to find liberation and leave suffering behind is the only way to truly resolve karmic grievances and untie the knots of resentment.
The Reality of Karmic Suffering
My children, there are many different methods of deliverance in this world, and there are many children currently suffering under the weight of manifest . I, the Buddha, know all of this. I am waiting—waiting for the moment when these karmic knots can be untied, so that I may help all beings escape the vast ocean of karma. This process requires your sincere repentance and your willingness to let go. If the power of your is holding you tightly, you must be even more determined to let go. You must understand the profound suffering inherent in the cycle of rebirth. Only through true can you open the layers of obstacles that bind your body, mind, and spirit.
The Path to True Awakening
Once you have let go, you must begin to serve. Continue this service until the Causal Conditions mature and you are ready for rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. A method is only truly good if it can successfully lead beings to rebirth in the Western Pure Land. This is the true power of . I hear every word you speak. Now, you must make your own vows and resolve to practise diligently and purify yourself. You will eventually have the opportunity to see the Buddha. In truth, this is not merely about seeing the Buddha; it is about the opportunity for you to attain Buddhahood yourself.
Practical Steps for Your Daily Practice
My children, your time in this world is short. It is a great pity to let day after day pass by in vain. You must truly awaken and understand the great meaning of life. You must truly help the Western Pure Land and support its mission. Beyond your own diligent practice, you should focus on these essential daily tasks:
- Prostrations:
- Practise bowing to the Buddha to clarify your mind.Sutra Recitation:
- Read The Infinite Sutra (The Buddha Speaks the , Infinite Life, Adornment, Purity, Impartiality, and Sutra) to understand the ultimate truth.Study:
- Learn from the teachings within the sutras and the explanations provided in the Buddha's commentaries.Service: Assist others on their journey to the West.
You must personally find your original nature and use your to help beings find liberation. You must personally support the Great Vehicle, whether through the giving of the , the giving of wealth, or through volunteer service. You must personally cultivate a focused heart, transform your character, and truly achieve the truth of the Pure Land Dharma Gate.
Letting Go of Attachments
My children, the words I speak are intended to answer the questions within your hearts. The problem of spiritual obstacles in this world is both easy and difficult to resolve. Whether it is truly resolved depends on the method you choose to believe in and uphold. My children, there is nothing in this world to which you should be attached, including the sensations and you experience in your own body. All the myriad phenomena of this world are sentient beings. You should know the suffering within them. Knowing this suffering, you should let go. Seek rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, for that is the only true reality. I am in the West, proclaiming the Dharma here. To be able to meet me here is a sign of great wisdom and fortune.
