The process of spiritual purification is a profound undertaking of . The team, filled with deep and sincere care, works diligently to cleanse the cells of Practitioner Su. They move layer by layer, meticulously attending to every area, especially the peripheral regions where hidden burdens often reside. Countless manifestations of protectors, along with Universal Bodhisattvas, Galactic Bodhisattvas, and our new disciples, are all actively assisting in the purification of the sentient beings residing within the cells of Practitioner Su.
The Vigil of the Guardian of the Dharma
Sangharama stands as a steadfast guardian, watching over the fifty trillion cells of Practitioner Su. The primary purpose of this vigil is to ensure that during the delicate process of purification, no external spirits are permitted to intrude. As I stand guard, I observe that the surrounding beings dare not approach. My appearance is stern and solemn, and my crescent-moon blade shines with a brilliant, awe-inspiring light. The beings are filled with fear and quickly flee.
At this moment, I notice a group of small beings near a scar on the head of Practitioner Su. They are weeping. As I approach to offer my concern, they cry even louder, perhaps startled by my flushed face. I invite a new disciple, who possesses a dignified and gentle presence, to investigate the truth of the situation. It turns out that these are the next generation of small, crawling beings—the children of those who were previously residing there. They are weeping because they have lost their parents and, in their confusion, have nowhere to go but to hide in the edges of the cells.
Compassionate Guidance for the Lost
Having witnessed many of their kind being gently removed by the purification tools, these small beings are terrified. The new disciple smiles kindly at them and invites them out, offering words of comfort and wisdom:
Cultivate Compassion: Now is not the time for tantrums or tears; it is a time to open your hearts.
The Power of Chanting: The most important thing you can do is to chant .
Cooperation: We can ask the team to stop the suction; instead, you may simply follow the path and move forward into the light on your own.
The larvae are overjoyed to hear this. They ask if the new disciple could request that the formidable Dharma protector put away his large blade. I, Sangharama Bodhisattva, immediately respond: "Do not be unreasonable. This is a Dharma instrument, representing dignity and principle; it shall not be challenged!" The new disciple bows respectfully to me and assures me that they will handle the situation with the small beings.
Deep Cleansing of the Physical Form
To ensure that every part of the skin of Practitioner Su, wherever it has been afflicted, can recover as soon as possible, I have brought a specially crafted purification tool. Together with representatives of the new disciples, the Universal Bodhisattvas, and the Galactic Bodhisattvas, we have decided to join forces to thoroughly cleanse every single cell. We proceed systematically:
Surface Layer: We begin by purifying the outermost layer of the skin.
Dermis Layer: We then move deeper into the structure of the skin.
Tissue Layer: We continue to cleanse the deep tissue layers, ensuring every corner is purified.
Whenever we encounter a difficult situation, we pause to address it with greater focus. This is especially true when we reach the melanin layer, where even the smallest dark spots must be removed. We increase the intensity of our tools, delegating this task to the Universal and Galactic Bodhisattvas. When dealing with these demon crowds, I must manifest the full boldness and authority of my role as a Dharma protector.
The Radiance of the Salvation Team
When these negative entities within the melanin layer see our new disciples, they feel a sense of familiarity. They look at the Universal and Galactic Bodhisattvas and feel as though they are all part of the same family, as they all share a similar demon nature. They inquire about our team, and the new disciple replies, "We are the Salvation Team!"
The entities ask, "Why does everyone here radiate light? Especially that one with the red face who carries the large blade—he also radiates light. And why is Practitioner Su, whom we know, so luminous and bright?" As the Universal and Galactic Bodhisattvas are bombarded with questions, I step forward to provide the answers. Seeing that these beings are genuinely seeking understanding, I first counsel them to turn away from wrong paths and return to the right path. I then encourage them to listen to the Dharma talks given by Practitioner Su, so that after hearing the Dharma, they may join our team to help save the world.
I explain to them: "The Buddha-light of Practitioner Su exists because he acts on behalf of the Buddha to save beings. His Buddha-heart, Buddha-vow, and Buddha-actions are supported by all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the heavenly Dharma protectors. Practitioner Su has truly realised the truth through his practice, and thus he possesses the same Buddha-light as the Buddhas. Every practitioner, if they can be like Practitioner Su, will also be protected by the heavenly Dharma protectors. By joining the ranks of those who follow Namo Amituofo to save the world, you too can achieve success in your spiritual path. Practice requires one to correct one's own wrong concepts, words, and deeds bit by bit, while cultivating compassion, mind-capacity, and tolerance. Only then can one achieve true success in accordance with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way."
I have observed Practitioner Su in every Dharma assembly, giving his all and exhausting every effort. His vast compassion and Buddha-wisdom are dedicated entirely to saving sentient beings. He seizes every opportunity to provide salvation and never gives up, never abandoning a single being. I deeply respect the virtue of Practitioner Su and cannot bear to see him suffer. Therefore, I, along with Skanda Bodhisattva and the chanting team, follow the Buddha to save countless suffering beings.
