The Buddha Has Come: A Message of Hope for All Beings

The Cosmic Cycle of Renewal

Across the vast expanse of the universe, every celestial body—including our own Earth—undergoes a continuous cycle of formation, abiding, decay, and emptiness. After a planet experiences this cycle, it must endure a long period of dormancy. Only when the conditions are right, and a new, powerful energy emerges, can the planet be restored, reborn, or even completely transformed. This restoration represents the hope for a new beginning, a chance for life to flourish once more.

The Eternal Quest for Liberation

Within the Dharma realm of emptiness, there exist the six realms of existence and the four sacred realms. Countless beings, including those in the human world and many other forms of life, are bound by the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Their spirits have wandered through the long, arduous journey of accumulated lifetimes. Through diligent practice and purification, these beings long for one ultimate goal: to find true liberation, to realise their true nature, and to attain Buddhahood.

We all share these deep-seated hopes: when things are destroyed, we hope for rebirth; when we are engaged in practice, we hope for liberation and Buddhahood; when we are in pain, we hope to leave suffering behind; when we are critically ill, we hope for recovery; and when we are in despair, we hope for the help of noble people. It is our sincere wish that all these hopes may be realised.

Especially now, in this age of the Dharma's decline, sentient beings feel helpless. To ensure that the Dharma Body and wisdom-life of immeasurable and boundless beings can be saved, we must transform this age of decline into an era of the True Teachings. This requires those who have realised their true nature to teach, those who are ready to listen, and those who can hear the Dharma and achieve Awakening.

The Arrival of Namo Amituofo

Practitioner Su has made a great vow. Having realised his true nature in this human body, he possesses both the vow and the power to help others. It is his hope that all those connected by karmic affinity may hear the Pure Land Dharma, find their true nature, and stop sinking into the six realms of existence. He encourages all beings to make the vow to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, to receive salvation, and to attain Buddhahood.

Practitioner Su puts these teachings into practice by performing Chao Du, helping boundless beings be reborn in the Western Pure Land. This has moved Namo Amituofo to descend and truly abide at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. The Buddha has come! He has come to lead everyone to realise their true nature, to leave suffering behind, and to be reborn in the Western Pure Land. This is an opportunity that is difficult to encounter even in millions of years. You must cherish this moment with all your heart.

The Precious Teachings for the Modern Age

Unless one achieves Awakening and is reborn in the Western Pure Land, one remains trapped in the sea of suffering while living in this age of the Dharma's decline. Many people are born into this suffering yet remain unaware of it. In the past, the Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma left behind by Shakyamuni Buddha allowed practitioners of future generations to follow the path and be saved. Now, in the twenty-first century, the Buddha has come! It is the greatest blessing for all beings to encounter the Buddha and receive his teachings.

Namo Amituofo has provided his words, recorded in plain language that everyone can understand, such as in the Modern Buddha Quotations and the Explanations of the Buddha's Teachings. Practitioner Su understands the Buddha-heart and the Buddha's teachings. He explains them with profound insights presented in simple, vivid, and practical ways. We hope that everyone will listen earnestly, for you will surely receive immense benefits from the Dharma. If you can truly follow these teachings, you will be able to realise your true nature, make the vow, and be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The Thrice Yearning Ceremony, led by Namo Amituofo, is a powerful opportunity for spiritual deliverance. It shakes the underworld and provides the perfect timing for beings to be reborn in the Western Pure Land. Therefore, at every ceremony, immeasurable and boundless beings come to participate and are saved.

A Call to Diligent Practice

The Buddha has come! His presence is felt in the Modern Buddha Quotations, the Explanations of the Buddha's Teachings, the constant requests for the Buddha's guidance, the Dharma talks given by Practitioner Su, the Chao Du ceremonies, the resolution of karmic conflicts, and the healing of illnesses. We hope that everyone will use these teachings to practise diligently, to find your pure original nature as soon as possible, and to realise your true nature and attain Buddhahood. Furthermore, after achieving Awakening, you may spread the Dharma to save those with karmic affinity, helping them leave suffering behind and fulfilling their wish to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is currently at a pivotal moment of transition and transformation. The construction of this temple is a project with far-reaching significance, benefiting both the living and the deceased. The number of those who will receive these benefits is beyond counting. Everyone should support this construction, for the merit gained will be immeasurable.
