The Compassionate Vow of
I, Lokesvararaja Buddha, speak to you today of the path that leads to true liberation. Long ago, Dharmakara Bhikshu made his great vows, establishing the of Ultimate Bliss as a sanctuary for all beings. As the teacher of the West, he offers a simple yet supreme path: to chant the name of Namo Amituofo. By doing so, you may transcend the limitations of the ten directions and find your way home.
How many of you truly understand the nature of this path? To attain the ultimate state is to be free from the cycle of birth, death, and the endless suffering of sickness. This is the goal of your practice. When we speak of suffering, we must recognise that it leaves deep imprints upon the spirit. If you allow these imprints to remain, they will only grow, manifesting as further obstacles in your life. You must learn to clear these traces through the power of the Buddha’s name.
The True Meaning of Liberation
What does it mean to be truly awake? It is to live without confusion, to see the world as it is, and to no longer be swayed by the illusions of the material realm. Many people believe that chanting Namo Amituofo is merely a form of praise, but it is far more than that. It is a recognition of your own original nature. Every person possesses the same Buddha-nature as Namo Amituofo. When you chant, you are not looking outward at a distant deity; you are looking inward, seeing the Namo Amituofo that resides within your own heart.
The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is the final destination for those who seek to escape the six realms of existence. It is a realm of infinite light and . Why would you choose to remain in the cycle of rebirth, where life is a storehouse of suffering? You have wandered for long enough. It is time to stop, to awaken, and to set your heart firmly upon the path to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Turbulence of the Human World
In this human world, you are often burdened by the weight of negative accumulated over countless lifetimes. From the moment you enter this life, you are influenced by the karmic seeds you have sown in the past. You may think that your life is determined by the present, but in truth, your experiences are the result of an ancient history that you have long forgotten. This is why you often feel a sense of emptiness within your heart. You seek to fill this void with material possessions, but nothing in this world is permanent. You cannot truly possess anything.
When you try to grasp what cannot be held, you give rise to greed, jealousy, and anger. Because you have not yet cultivated true goodness, you often cause harm to others, and in turn, you suffer. Look at the world around you: parents weep for their children, and children weep for their parents. This is the nature of human emotion in the Saha world. You see chaos, instability, and a lack of trust between people. This is because the human heart has lost its anchor. You are afraid, you are empty, and you are searching for the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, yet you do not know where to turn.
The Urgent Call to Return Home
The chaos you see is the reality of the six realms of existence. Why would you choose to stay in such a place? In the vastness of the universe, only the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss offers a true, permanent refuge. What is there in this life that is worth clinging to? Is it your physical body, which is merely a temporary vessel? Is it worth shaking your true nature for the sake of fleeting desires? To live without guidance is to be lost in the darkness, and to die without knowing the way home is to be truly ignorant.
I have come to you today across the vast expanse of time and space, across the three periods of time, simply to save the world and to help you, my children, return home. If you have the karmic affinity to read these words, you must believe in the truth I have spoken. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. Chant Namo Amituofo all the way, and let your heart be filled with the light of the Buddha. This is the only way to leave suffering behind and find the happiness that is your true inheritance.
