Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju’s teachings:
To seize every minute and second is to cherish life,
for life is composed of minutes, seconds, and days.
The fourfold assembly of Hsiang Kuang, seize the opportunity of being in the Buddha-land.
Namo Amituofo, this Teacher, and Practitioner Su are constantly resolving the conditions of your Body-Mind-Spirit;
the suffering of the spirits within your body is also resolved, which is a manifestation of the view of oneness.
The public should seize the opportunity of the at Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre.
When Namo Amituofo leads the ceremony, entering the Buddha-light allows one to be saved,
because the Buddha-light shines, defilements are extinguished and goodness arises, elevating the spiritual quality,
the spirit can enter the Celestial Realm or the human world, and will not enter the evil paths;
if one chants the Buddha’s name continuously, one will be led by the Buddha into the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss,
and the demon crowds will be able to enter the Western Land of Nature.
All of this is the destination of the sentient being’s own spiritual quality; one naturally enters that path and place,
not arranged by external forces.
Seize the moment while you still have a breath, and be fiercely diligent in changing your personality traits.
If your personality is not changed in this life, then your practice will never reach the state of an awakened being,
it is a pity to have obtained a human body in this life and to have entered the practice of the Pure Land.
And the karmic causes created by your personality: "Even after a hundred thousand kalpas, the created does not perish,
when the causal conditions meet, the retribution is still borne by oneself",
even after passing through a hundred thousand kalpas, when you reappear in a human body, your personality arises again, your reappear,
and you will still bear the retribution yourself, and the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death will manifest.
Why suffer the entanglement of your personality throughout your many lives?
In this life, you are able to encounter the protection of Namo Amituofo, this Teacher, and Practitioner Su,
you should seize this moment, awaken quickly, face and break through to change your personality, and change it until your personality
is completely gone.
When your thoughts have nothing else but Namo Amituofo, that is the time of being an awakened being.
