The Centre of Heaven and Earth
Words of Namo Amituofo
Dharma Assembly for Disaster Relief and Blessings, 14 September 2019
The Cycle of Life and Death
On the fifth day of the assembly for disaster relief and , Namo Amituofo offered profound guidance regarding the nature of our existence. When you observe heaven and earth, you see that between them, countless living beings are contained within. The beginning of a life and the eventual end of that life are merely processes occurring within the cycle of reincarnation. We are often trapped by the limitations of our physical environment, unaware that there is a vast reality beyond these boundaries.
The True World Beyond
When heaven and earth converge, the lives within them become obscured; they cannot see beyond these physical constraints. However, you must realise that it is beyond heaven and earth that the true world exists. This true world is not bound by the limitations of the physical realm or the cycle of reincarnation. It is a realm of infinite clarity and purity, waiting for those who are ready to look past the illusions of their daily lives.
to Absolute Freedom
My child, to break through yourself is to break through the obstacles of space and time. Your life is not meant to be covered or confined by heaven and earth. To transcend this, you must break through your true self. By doing so, you will soar beyond the cycle of life and death, attaining a body of absolute freedom. This is the ultimate goal of your practice—to return to your original, unblemished state. I hope that all of you can find your way back to this true home. Namo Amituofo.
The Words of Namo Amituofo were recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxi.
