Teachings on Using the Temporary to Find the Eternal
A Message from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju
First Session of the Thrice Yearning Ceremony, 21 April 2019
The Precious Vessel of the Human Body
The human body is of immense importance. Although it is but a temporary vessel—a body subject to the cycle of birth and decay—it is the essential tool for your spiritual journey. We must use this 'temporary' body to find the 'eternal' truth. What is the truth? It is the realisation of one's true self-nature, which is known as becoming an awakened being.
The Harmony of and
While you still possess this human form, you must combine your own efforts with the infinite power of Namo Amituofo. These two forces must work in harmony. When you apply yourself with sincerity, your spirit will awaken, breaking through the thick clouds of confusion that have long obscured your vision. This is how you perceive the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. When you see that your true self is empty of fixed form, you have reached the state of an awakened being. This is the vital process of reclaiming your original true self.
The Great Matter of Rebirth in the West
You must save yourself and then save others. This is the path to true liberation, allowing you to leave suffering behind and achieve the great matter of rebirth in the of Ultimate Bliss. This work requires physical practice while you are still alive. Once the conditions of this life are exhausted, will inevitably scatter and return to dust. At that point, one must rely entirely on to find a way forward. Looking at the current situation, the ability to successfully guide souls to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is a rare and profound gift. Practitioner Su is capable of this work; beyond this, it is truly a difficult task for others to achieve.
Seizing the Moment for Liberation
It is far better to be fiercely diligent while you are still alive, breaking through the obstacles created by this temporary body. Once you reach the state of an awakened being, you will be at ease. By following the heart and vows of Namo Amituofo and chanting His name, you will enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. To all my children and your , seize this opportunity for rebirth in the West. Now is the time. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
