Venerable Changren speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. The Buddha has arrived! The Buddha has arrived!" Countless spirits across the various dimensions are shouting this with immense . Their hearts are overflowing with delight, for they truly know that the Buddha has come.
For many years, Practitioner Su has been utilising her to perform for the spiritual realms. Over this long period, spirits who were once unfamiliar with her have come to know her well. They frequently witness the brilliant golden light she radiates. Through word of mouth, more and more spirits have come to recognise her, and in the spiritual realms, everyone addresses her as 'Practitioner Su' with great warmth and reverence.
A Realm Transformed from Chaos
Before Practitioner Su began using her Dharma Body to deliver spirits, the entire spiritual realm was in a state of profound chaos. Goodness and evil coexisted in a turbulent mix, and a vast number of malevolent spirits and evil entities were constantly interfering with human beings. Looking back at that time, the state of the spiritual realms was truly chaotic and dark.
Back then, I was a great demon within the Demon Realm. There were times when humans attempted to subdue us demon crowds, but the methods they employed were rooted in aggression and harm. Their abilities were nowhere near ours; consequently, when they tried to perform rituals against us, they only ended up harming themselves. That experience made us despise humanity even more. We viewed humans as our sworn enemies and believed that we should eradicate them entirely.
The Turning Point of
However, everything changed the moment I encountered Practitioner Su. It was only then that I began to shift my perspective. At first, I tested the sincerity of her heart, and through that, I realised that there truly existed a person as compassionate as she is. I have been following Practitioner Su for several years now. Throughout the process of Chao Du, I have witnessed the entire spiritual space undergo a monumental transformation—a change so vast that it is completely unrecognisable compared to the days when I was still committing evil acts.
Many spirits who were originally unkind have, through the repeated deliverance of Practitioner Su's Dharma Body, begun to change their character. They have started to chant Namo Amituofo. The power of chanting Buddha's name helps to transform the energy field, which in turn influences the spirits in the surrounding environment. As spirits influence one another, the speed of this transformation has accelerated. The number of spirits receiving deliverance continues to grow, benefiting not only the entire Earth but also the sentient beings in the spaces beyond our planet.
A Message Across the Universe
The Buddha has arrived! The spirits continue to call out, their voices echoing through the Milky Way and resonating throughout the entire universe. Practitioner Su has brought the Buddha into these boundless, multi-layered dimensions, helping every single spirit to be saved, one by one.
Namo Amituofo."
