Teachings from Namo Amituofo
Day 1 of the Disaster Relief and Blessing Dharma Assembly
The Torch of the True Teachings
With an upright heart, we provide guidance, passing the torch of the Buddha’s teachings to future generations. The spreading of the shall continue forever, fulfilling the true and authentic command of the Buddha. The purification of the assembly site is now complete, and the environment has been cleared of all obstacles. This is the true and authentic command: to help the vast multitude of beings break through their delusion and attain . We must understand the true path and act according to these principles. When the heart is truly sincere, our understanding will manifest in our actions.
The Magnificent Power of the Pure Lotus Land
The establishment of the Pure Lotus Land carries infinite power and merit. Currently, it operates across Taiwan and Hong Kong, serving as a beacon to lead countless beings toward the . Those who establish such a place of practice possess this authentic power, ensuring that when their lives come to an end, they will achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Those who support this mission are, in effect, supporting the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss itself. They will receive the same benefits of the Dharma as if they had entered the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss directly. By performing acts of Goodness and engaging in charitable giving, one will naturally receive the benefits of the Dharma, which are rooted in wisdom and power.
The Path to and Liberation
Why is the establishment of the Pure Lotus Land so magnificent and filled with such vast merit? It is because it fulfills the needs and prayers of all beings, providing a piece of pure land to guide their practice. In this chaotic world, the ability to bring about purification is a merit that is magnificent and beyond description. When we save even one being, allowing them to hear and see the scenery of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, they break through their delusion and attain enlightenment. At that moment, they are no longer ordinary beings; they become one with the Buddha and are considered citizens of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Transcending the Boundaries of Space
When we purify even an inch of land, we allow the infinitely layered realms to hear and see the scenery of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. By breaking through the limitations of space, one becomes one with the Buddha and is considered a saint of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Together with the Buddha, we assist all beings, purifying the world until it is as joyful as the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This great power breaks through the karmic debts of the Ten Directions of the Dharma Realm. The cycle of revenge and is not the True Teachings. Instead, mutual support and praise for one another constitute the true vow and practice of Namo Amituofo. I hope that all my children will understand this. Namo Amituofo.
