The term 'Inviting Spirits' refers to a profound act of . It is the process of inviting those and attached spirits who have already manifested within our bodies and caused us significant problems to leave. When you experience physical pain, soreness, or swelling, or when your heart feels heavy and difficult to soothe, it is often a sign that these beings are present and influencing your state of being. When your spirit feels obstructed, your movements become sluggish, or your posture becomes hunched, it is a clear indication that it is time to invite them out.

These spirits can affect any part of your body. Often, we do not realise that it is these beings who have taken control, causing us to lose our own sense of self. They disturb our body, mind, and spirit, leaving us in a state of unease. We must remember that we are all part of the same collective of beings, and to have the opportunity to invite them out is a great blessing for all practitioners.

The Necessity of Inner Transformation

While it is beneficial to invite these spirits out, you must remember that they are not the only ones who have been attached to you. You must take the initiative to change your latent habits or bad character traits. You must view all beings with compassion and ensure that you do not allow anger to arise within your heart. This is the only true remedy for the root of the problem. If you do not change your own nature, other spirits will simply enter, and you will find that your old illnesses and sufferings return once again. You must resolve the conflict, invite them out, and send them to the of Ultimate Bliss. All actions must be in accordance with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way.

The Path to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss

Regardless of who these spirits are, they are all beings connected to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. They all have the karmic affinity to enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss; it is merely a matter of time. The Dharma assembly is the perfect moment for this transition. Whether these spirits currently possess a physical body or not, they should remember to chant the Buddha-name continuously. By doing so, they will enter the golden light—not a yellow or white light, but the true, radiant light of the Buddha—and be able to journey safely to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
