Teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju at Hsiang Kuang

Teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, you are invited to experience a unique way of life. By immersing yourself in this environment, you will gain different spiritual experiences that open up new dimensions of your spirit and elevate its quality. Most importantly, this place is a precious land for those who seek to achieve Awakening and ensure their rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The Radiant Presence of Namo Amituofo

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, Namo Amituofo is residing here. Because of this, the Dragon and Heaven Dharma Protectors are always present to guard the grounds. Demonic beings cannot enter this sacred space. In fact, countless demonic beings come here seeking to surrender. If they are beings who have used magic to cause harm, they find that they are unable to perform such acts within this space. When the power of these demonic beings enters the space of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, it is immediately illuminated by the Buddha’s light. As a result, their power weakens significantly. This occurs because the Buddha’s light of Namo Amituofo is of such extreme purity and Goodness that it naturally diminishes the turbid and evil power of the demonic beings. This is a natural phenomenon of the Dharma.

The Vitality of Buddha’s Words

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, you can receive the Buddha’s words and my teachings at any time. This is a matter of great importance. It provides the fourfold assembly, the demonic beings, and all sentient beings in the ten directions and the Dharma realms the precious opportunity to hear the Buddha’s words and my teachings. Through this, they can turn evil into good, remove impurities and attain purity, and break through delusion and attain enlightenment.

Daily Practice for the Fourfold Assembly

When the fourfold assembly practises together at Hsiang Kuang, you must use your current karmic body to engage in diligent practice. You should maintain your daily practice of prostrations, chanting, and reciting Sutras. This is how you eliminate karma and reduce obstacles in this very moment. Furthermore, you must continue to work hard to change your personality traits. No matter how others may slander you or speak ill of you, you must remain unmoved. If you can maintain an unmoved mind, you will reach the time of Awakening and seeing your true nature while at Hsiang Kuang.

The Path of Letting Go

You must learn to "see through" and "let go," knowing clearly that everything in this world is an illusion. Practise Compassion, Joy, and Selfless Giving. Remember that only by letting go can one gain. When you reach the point where both letting go and gaining do not stir the mind, you will realise that there was never anything to hold onto in the first place. By letting go of this false body, you will be able to see your true self-nature. You must understand the suffering of all beings and vow to save them, for saving others from suffering is saving oneself from suffering. If you have a deep realisation of this, you will certainly vow to be reborn in the West, knowing that this life is your final life.

The Ultimate Goal

If you wish to seek the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, you can find them here at Hsiang Kuang. If you desire to not grow old, not get sick, and for your spirit not to die, and wish to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you will find that your wishes can be fulfilled here at Hsiang Kuang. Namo Amituofo.
