The wheel of life turns incessantly, and countless beings remain trapped within the cycle of rebirth. Sentient beings are everywhere, and everywhere there are those who desperately require salvation. The suffering of these beings is vast and immeasurable, and it is the duty of the fourfold assembly of disciples to exert their utmost strength to assist them. One must strive to realise one's true nature and, alongside Practitioner Su, engage in the practice of through the , sailing together on a great vessel to save the world.
The Boundless Scope of Chao Du
The work performed by Practitioner Su is truly extraordinary. Through the power of the Body, Practitioner Su traverses countless mountain ranges, rivers, vast oceans, skies, and lands. By crossing through innumerable dimensions and navigating the flow of time and space, Practitioner Su manifests a state of infinite , performing Chao Du for each and every spirit encountered. The speed at which Practitioner Su performs Chao Du for these beings is remarkably swift—a phenomenon that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine, yet it is a profound and authentic reality.
These countless spirits are as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges. When Practitioner Su performs Chao Du, the sight is akin to a massive sandstorm stirred up by the wind. One might not realise that these swirling particles are actually suffering spirits, and thus one fails to perceive their immense agony. It is a true tragedy to be trapped in the cycle of rebirth and endure such suffering. Everyone should awaken now and not allow their hearts to remain in a state of confusion. You must truly awaken to the truth: if you were one of those grains of sand, how would you feel?
The Urgent Call to Awaken
Now is the time to awaken. Do not wait for a future of regret, which will only lead to further sorrow. There are many beings who have been trapped in the cycle of rebirth for a thousand lifetimes, enduring endless pain. They remain bound simply because they are attached to the things of this world and find it difficult to let go. The states of rebirth that these beings manifest serve as a vital warning for the fourfold assembly of disciples. The suffering of these countless beings is profound; do not let yourself fall into the same predicament.
The Evolution of Compassionate Action
The method of Chao Du currently employed by Practitioner Su is different from those used in the past. In an incredibly short amount of time, Practitioner Su is able to perform Chao Du across multiple layers of existence, breaking through infinite spatial dimensions. This is done so that the world may more quickly welcome the Great Dharma. The fact that is truly present in this world is a rare and precious opportunity. The compassionate power of Practitioner Su, working in harmony with Namo Amituofo to save the world, is an example that all members of the fourfold assembly should strive to emulate.
A Magnificent Opportunity for the World
Today, the Buddha’s teachings are being led by Practitioner Su, and in the future, students will carry on this Dharma lineage. This magnificent situation allows sentient beings to be truly blessed. In this Age of Dharma Decline, spreading the Dharma and saving the world is no easy task. Practitioner Su possesses a heart of great compassion and immense strength, courageously taking on this responsibility and moving forward. I, Shengchang, am deeply moved by this dedication. I will also do my utmost to assist in this magnificent work, with the hope that the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia will remain a dignified and pure land for all. Namo Amituofo.
