Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

All sentient beings connected by karmic affinity.

When beings have a feeling, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas respond; the response is to resolve the suffering of beings.

Buddhas know the suffering of beings, yet beings must also wish to be saved,

Self-help and self-reliance are important to be saved and leave the sea of karma.

Manifest response occurs when beings have the heart and conduct to improve and change their ways;

Manifest response is when the Buddha-power of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saves and helps in visible ways, and beings can feel it in their hearts.

Subtle response is when beings are unaware, yet send out messages of needing to be saved and to leave suffering;

Subtle response is when Buddhas and Bodhisattvas help and save them from suffering,

and although beings do not see it, disasters or the demands of karma are resolved.

Subtle response is the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; observing Causal Conditions, when beings suffer and karma manifests,

they appear to save and help beings, yet beings are unable to perceive it.

If one can change their personality traits and actively do so, then the attached spirits will know,

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will respond to help resolve the situation,

or perhaps cause the karmic creditors to suffer before they can leave.

Regardless of the situation, this heart must be able to repent.

To listen, to take responsibility in the present moment, to accept, and to change one's ways is to be a wise person.

If one repeats the same mistakes, the one who suffers is oneself.

If Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Dharma protectors leave because of this, then the karmic creditors attracted to this body,

attached spirits, or demon crowds will cause one to suffer, until the karmic creditors are willing to change their wishes,

and the beings are willing to resolve the conflict or leave.

All situations of response depend on this heart.

At Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre,

Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, with compassion, use spiritual healing to satisfy the grievances of beings,

resolving the conflict, inviting spirits, and delivering sentient beings; this is a magnificent and rare opportunity,

helping the body, mind, and spirit find peace.

Everyone should understand clearly, quickly change your personality traits, and engage in diligent practice,

this is how to save yourself and receive the response of the Buddha, a time for self-salvation and Buddha-salvation.
