Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Turmoil: Chinese Leadership and Sentient Beings with Karmic Affinity
Making Good Use of Buddha's Power
This interview was recorded on October 12, 2017, at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. The spirit of Steve Jobs, having sought deliverance through the compassionate guidance of Practitioner Su, shares his profound insights on the nature of , the reality of the afterlife, and the transformative power of .
Steve Jobs speaks:
"A great spinning wheel turns within the void. What the sutras describe as 'requesting the turning of the wheel' is something we are doing every single day—spreading the seeds of Goodness and planting the seed of Namo Amituofo in everyone's hearts. I am not entirely certain if I am using this scriptural term correctly, but what I wish to express is that the turning of a current of Goodness is a matter of immense importance for every living being.
I close my eyes and feel the air around me. I sense the different layers of multi-dimensional space, the vitality flowing through the physical world—wishing to be as free as the wind, mountains & rivers, the resilience of human life, and the peaceful atmosphere that should rightfully exist throughout the universe. In the past, who among us did not create karma out of ignorance? We acted as if we understood, yet we were blind. But once a person is harmed, they enter the very space where that injury occurred. If we are reborn as humans, those can enter our organs or our cells. There is no 'why'—it is simply a principle of the universe. When a negative thought arises in a human, it perfectly matches the way you harmed them in the past; that is when your karmic creditors appear.
When your body lights up a red warning signal, you must go to the hospital for an examination. You follow the doctor's orders faithfully, believing that everything can be saved. You do not realise that as is cut and scraped, you are only moving closer to death. People harbour a deep, profound panic when facing death. This fear does not discriminate based on status or position. Death is something every living being must face, but we in the human world are more fortunate; we have a solution. We have the opportunity to encounter Namo Amituofo. A single 'Namo Amituofo' shines with brilliant light. Although the physical eyes cannot see it, it truly possesses an effect far superior to any surgery. It is absolutely no exaggeration to call Namo Amituofo the 'Great Physician' as the sutras do.
At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, I have observed every session of inviting spirits. Everyone has a past filled with aggression and cruelty. That past aggression is what causes you to develop cancer as a form of repayment. To them, this is all perfectly natural. But at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, Practitioner Su uses her skills to allow these sentient beings, these karmic creditors, to return to the past and then sends them all to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. The magical part is that the uncomfortable symptoms disappear entirely. This is why Practitioner Su always says that studying the Buddha’s teachings prevents illness. However, this is not the fundamental cure; the fundamental cure lies in one's own commitment to doing Good in all things.
Can you imagine that all fifty trillion cells in your body are loaded with your past? This is an undeniable fact. Your life must be filled with 'Goodness' in every aspect to avoid the onset of illness. Furthermore, you should properly face the question of where you will go after death. I would like to introduce everyone to the 'Western Land of Ultimate Bliss'. Just by looking at the name, you can imagine how wonderful it is. The Buddha’s teachings say that the worldly realm we inhabit is a world of extreme suffering. We cry one moment and laugh the next; we must endure sorrow, illness, and death. We live every day amidst the swaying of emotions. We struggle our whole lives, yet in the end, all we take with us is a body full of karma. How long have we been reincarnated? Layer upon layer of karma keeps piling up. If we do not accumulate merit and dissolve karma, we must repay debts in every lifetime, facing different illnesses, deaths, and torments.
Sometimes you might be reborn as an animal, sometimes as an insect. If you look at the long trajectory of reincarnation, you may have been a pig in the past, slaughtered and cooked just the same. When you eat pork, how can you bear it? That animal is a life, a spirit, just like you, yet it is treated so cruelly. If eating human flesh is cruel, then what is the great difference when eating chicken, duck, or fish? I do not say these things to frighten you; I hope that the truth of the reality of reincarnation can be clearly seen. The 'method for no aging and no death' that people seek their whole lives is right here. My own rebirth in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is the best proof.
Today, the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is holding an early Dharma assembly. The spirits are even more proactive than us humans; they have already lined up and are waiting. They are waiting for the moment the microphone is picked up. With a wave of the hand, they can advance toward the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. These are the volunteers. There are also other beings still wandering in the void for various reasons; they are also children of the Buddha. Therefore, after the Dharma assembly begins, Practitioner Su will use her to lead a powerful team for spiritual deliverance. Spirits, take note! When you see us from afar, be prepared! Do not let this opportunity slip away. We are all wearing white; you can put on your white robes beforehand, or you can transform them yourself once you enter the ranks.
Today, the earth is gradually recovering. The best proof is that the land at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has turned from yellow to lush green. This is what it means to start changing from within. The animals also love this kind of weather. I know this is due to the blessing of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su's constant spiritual deliverance through visualization. If there were a few more people with these skills, the Earth would truly recover to its original state very quickly.
Today, our deliverance team saved many spirits from the yellow earth. Each person scooped up some soil; one grain of soil represents one spirit, and the number is already beyond calculation. From within the walls of the Great Wall of China, immeasurable and boundless numbers of people emerged. They all looked very miserable and were dressed in rags. Some were crying bitterly, saying their remains had already merged with the Great Wall. There were also women longing for their husbands; because their husbands had not returned home for so long, they brought their children to visit, only to be kept behind to cook. But there were so many people to feed, and the environment was so poor—how could a few women shoulder such a heavy responsibility? In the end, those women also died of exhaustion. Everyone looked thin and filthy. My heart ached to see it. One grandfather was crying terribly; he said he still had an elderly mother at home, but he had left and never returned. In truth, his home was not that far away, but he could never go back. He was always thinking of her in his heart. He knew his mother was likely long gone, but he still felt guilty for not having fulfilled his filial duties. I patted his back, not knowing how to comfort him. The Buddha-light shone upon every who emerged from the Great Wall. Their clothes were transformed into pristine white garments, and their faces no longer looked so haggard. I was happy for them from the bottom of my heart. This scene was a bit sad, but at least they could be liberated from suffering, and that is enough.
A hundred flowers blooming, abundant grain, and a life of peace and prosperity—these future scenes are about to manifest in reality. I see the future, and my face is filled with a satisfied smile."
