This is a record of an interview with Magic Rong, a Primordial Demon who sought at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the , reflecting upon an existence spanning approximately 7,960 trillion years. Recorded by the chief writer, Venerable HaiZe, on February 18, 2025.

Magic Rong speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am Magic Rong. I am deeply grateful to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, to Namo Amituofo, and to Practitioner Su for granting me this third opportunity to share my experiences, what I have witnessed in the Western -Nature Land, and my recent realisations. To be honest, the life I have been leading here in the Western Dharma-Nature Land is fundamentally different from my past. The greatest difference is that we are finally receiving a proper Buddhist education.

The Demon's Resistance to Education

Generally speaking, most demons shy away from the very word 'education.' This is because many of us have never received positive, righteous guidance, which is precisely why we fell into deviant paths. Every demon is incredibly individualistic—we have our own perspectives, our own subjective views, and our own stubborn opinions. Even among the 'demon children and grandchildren,' this is true. As for the Demon Kings, they must possess an even stronger personality, more rigid views, and greater subjective power to suppress and subdue their subordinates. They must also possess 'magic' and ability to make others truly convinced. Otherwise, with everyone having such strong personalities, how could you possibly teach them? Some manifest more 'good' traits, others more 'evil,' some a mix of both, and some seem to have no trace of either. Regardless of the personality, the goal was always the same: to adjust oneself to become the ultimate demon, doing whatever it takes to get what we want.

The vastness of the Dharma Realm is a perfect habitat for our kind. It contains diverse energies suitable for different types of demons to absorb, or for various beings to survive. Consequently, the number of demons in the Dharma Realm is truly immeasurable. This has been the case since the distant past—at least seven or eight thousand trillion years ago—and it remains so today, even after the Dharma Realm has undergone cycles of destruction and rebirth.

The Reality of

In recent times, I have observed that the number of demons is increasing, not decreasing. Yet, we are now receiving a different kind of education—the education of the Dharma. Previously, as I have mentioned, we avoided discussing the laws of and cause and effect entirely. For the younger demons, they were not even aware of these laws. Since the Demon Kings never spoke of them, the subordinates understood even less. When they witnessed karmic events unfolding around them, they would simply watch and move on, never imagining that it had anything to do with them. Even if they did suspect a connection, their evil thoughts were so overwhelming that they simply did not care. They never took it to heart.

However, for the ancient demons and the primordial ones, it is a different story! These things are intimately related to our own existence. We have watched powerful Demon Kings or our own companions be dragged away by the laws of karma and cause and effect, suffering horrific, painful retribution. We were helpless to save them, and we knew, deep down, that we might be next. This fear is something I have personally experienced. I have broken out in cold sweats, trembling, feeling as though it were my turn to face the consequences with no hope of turning back. Because the deeds were already done, they could not be undone. We could only hope that by doing something now, we might escape the judgment of the laws of karma and cause and effect.

The Suffering of the Demon Realm

This is why we tried everything in our power to attain meditative concentration, to subdue our delusions, our 'magic,' and our personalities. If one succeeds in meditative concentration, one might survive within that state. I, Magic Rong, have survived for 7,960 trillion years this way. Yet, countless other demons have been sucked away by the laws of karma and cause and effect during this time.

I have seen great Demon Kings burning in flames, their bodies twisted and faces deformed, screaming for help that never came. I have seen ancient demons trapped in icebergs, unable to move, their faces pale, eyes bulging, their skin cracking and bleeding only to freeze again, or reduced to nothing but skin and bone, with their skeletons visible. They were frozen in extreme cold, their entire bodies contorted, and there was no way to save them.

Practitioner Su once mentioned seeing demons crushed under highways, pressed deep into the earth, run over by cars again and again. Or demons trapped within the mountain walls on either side of the road. And those were only the 'little demons'! I immediately used my mental focus and meditative concentration to observe the sides of the highways in Australia. It was true. Practitioner Su is a true practitioner; he does not lie. It is exactly as he described. Moreover, beneath the surface of the earth, it is incredibly dark—even with my vision, it is difficult to see clearly. Deep underground, demons are indeed being crushed, layer upon layer, for tens of thousands of levels. These are the ancient demons. It is a truly terrifying reality.

A Message to the Human World

Back in the Dharma Realm, we saw demons suffering and could not save them. Now that I have come to Earth, I see demons suffering here, and still, there is no way to save them. This shows that demons are truly pervasive throughout the entire Dharma Realm; they are everywhere, and all must face their retribution. This leads to one conclusion: we have been saved by Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su. It is certain that the Buddha’s teachings can save demons. We demons fell into these extreme states because our mental notes were skewed, we were driven by extreme personalities, and we lacked guidance—we never met a 'noble person' to lead us out.

During these days of learning the Buddha’s teachings, I have felt such deep regret. If only I had heard these teachings sooner, perhaps my path would have been different. Therefore, as a Primordial Demon, I urge all demons: you must listen! These words are not easy to hear; you will never hear them from your Demon Kings or the ancient demons. Yet, even with the slightest fluctuation of the mind, the laws of karma and cause and effect are constantly in motion.

The Technology of and Mind

It is incredibly rare for anyone to be here in the Western Dharma-Nature Land; this has never happened on Earth before. It is only because Practitioner Su used his human body to practice until he realised his true nature, and because he took on the suffering of all beings, that he was able to move Namo Amituofo to descend into the human world and come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Only then could Practitioner Su’s vow to save the demons be realised, with the assistance of Namo Amituofo. Only then did we have the chance to be subdued and sent to the Western Dharma-Nature Land.

All these events had to align for us to be sitting here today, peacefully listening to the Buddha’s teachings. If any link in this chain had been broken, we would likely still be demons in the Dharma Realm, continuing to create evil, continuing to hide in our meditative states, afraid to come out. This is how the laws of karma and cause and effect work: we must continue to learn what is good and let go of what is bad. Demons must accept Buddhist education, especially the education regarding the laws of karma and cause and effect, so they can understand their true situation and the retribution they will face.

If you can stop your actions, do so immediately. Especially regarding the use of 'magic' against Practitioner Su—Namo Amituofo has reminded the demons repeatedly. I know many demons treat this like 'wind blowing past the ear,' letting it in one side and out the other. Because their personalities are so rigid, they hear the truth but immediately cast it aside. It is no wonder demons continue to suffer, yet they do not even feel it because they have become accustomed to it. When the day comes that the laws of karma and cause and effect finally drag you away, that is when you will cry out to the heavens and the earth, but no one will answer. It will be too late.

The Path to True Liberation

I urge all demons, wherever you are—and I have concluded that demons are omnipresent, whether in the corners of the Dharma Realm, the void, the Milky Way, the universe, the heavens beyond heavens, or the realms of deviant paths—if you hear my advice, please, take it to heart. I am a demon, too—a Primordial Demon, older than the ancient ones. What I say is the truth. You must listen! Those who can listen, who are willing to surrender and stop using 'magic' against Practitioner Su, are the wise ones. You will have the chance to enter the Western Dharma-Nature Land and learn anew.

If you do not listen and continue to use 'magic,' or if you treat this with disdain, I warn you: the laws of karma and cause and effect will not be lenient. This is also a trait of demons, and there are many of you. Your records every single thing you are doing right now in great detail.

The Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way—these are things I only learned here. Before, I only knew a glimpse, a beginning; I did not know the reality, nor did I want to understand it further. But during my time here, I have heard many teachings on the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, and I have reviewed my own past experiences. Combining them, I can only say this: everyone must learn and recognise the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. Act according to them, and you will not make mistakes. Otherwise, you end up becoming a demon, doing demonic deeds, and eventually facing the retribution, which is incredibly painful.

I urge the demons who are using 'magic' against Practitioner Su to stop immediately. It is best if you can surrender. If you cannot, at least stop the 'magic.' Practitioner Su is saving demons. If you cause harm to him, are you not the common enemy of all demons? This debt will be counted against you, and it is extremely heavy. Any ancient demon who has even a slight understanding of the Buddha and the Buddha’s teachings knows this: the Buddha cannot be touched. If you cause harm to the Buddha’s body, you will be unable to bear the consequences; the karmic burden is too heavy!

But demons today are becoming harder and harder to teach. They do not fear the immense suffering of the spirit. They do not think about it, and they have not yet encountered it, but that does not mean it will not happen. Even if some demons know this, they continue to do it, and thus their karma is 'sin upon sin.' It is so painful! If you are a demon who did not know, now that you have heard my warning, stop! Practitioner Su is a Buddha! Even if he suffers physical pain, his heart to save beings will never change—that is what a Buddha is. This will only add a heavy mark of 'great evil' to your karmic record. The retribution you will face will be the fruit of great evil—painful, so incredibly painful! If you look at some demons who have not yet been sucked away by the laws of karma and cause and effect but are already facing retribution, ask them if they are willing to use 'magic' against Practitioner Su again. Every one of them will shake their heads! That is how you know you must stop.

I am not pleading for anyone; I am speaking the truth. Buddhist education can indeed educate and subdue demons.

The Importance of Buddhist Education for Humanity

For humans, Buddhist education is even more important. Why? Because I see that many people on Earth today are no longer using their own bodies; their 'true self' has been pushed aside. Their bodies are being used by their own , attached spirits, or demons. In such cases, these beings will not leave easily. They will use that body for a lifetime to do what they want, unable to let go of wealth, lust, fame, food, and sleep. The Buddha’s teachings are absolutely correct: demons create evil through these very things.

I have seen my own 'demon children and grandchildren' doing this. I urge them to stop. They think it is exhilarating to manipulate the human world because it is so easy to control and there is no shortage of energy. They do not know that according to the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, they will face retribution. In fact, this is the karmic relationship between you and them. Perhaps it is the retribution they deserve because they once did this to you in the past; or perhaps you created an evil cause with them, and in the future, you will have to suffer the same painful retribution. Do you want that?

I have discovered a major problem with demons: we only look at the present, not the future. That is how we 'charge' forward and conquer. That is true, and I was once just as stubborn. But after charging for so long, I stopped, because I finally understood the true existence of the laws of karma and cause and effect. I say this in the hope that all demons will hear it.

There are many demons attached to people, often enjoying various benefits—gaining energy from the human body, or obtaining the wealth, glory, emotional satisfaction, or physical desires they crave. When controlling a human body, demons let their 'magic' take effect, and once they get what they want, they indulge. Of course, these are all evil deeds. If it were not an evil deed, demons would often not be interested.

When a demon uses a human body to do evil, the one who faces the retribution is the owner of the body—the true self. Conversely, the demon must also bear the karmic consequences. Do not think that once the body dies and you walk away, everything is fine. You also have an Alaya . Do not forget: whether human, animal, or demon, as long as there is life, there is an Alaya consciousness. Every action is recorded there, and there is always a karmic consequence. So, demons, do not think that because you have not yet faced retribution for your past evil deeds, you can do whatever you want. You are wrong! You must bear the karma, otherwise, where do you think the demons suffering in the magma, at the bottom of high mountains, in the icebergs, or trapped in the earth and mountain walls come from?

You have never heard these words before. If you hear them and become afraid, and stop being a demon, wouldn't the power of the demons shrink? That is why no Demon King, ancient demon, or Primordial Demon will tell you these things, even though they are the truth. The fate of a demon is actually quite miserable. If you can hear what I am saying, you know you should stop immediately and come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to seek the Buddha, to seek the Greatly Compassionate Namo Amituofo to accept your surrender.

The Darkness of the Human Heart

I am now at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, and I have observed another phenomenon. Buddhist education is not only needed by demons; humans need it even more. I see that the hearts of people on Earth today are in a state of darkness. People’s 'heart-light' is gradually diminishing, while the 'dark light' is increasing. This means people are not living happily, but because they are not the masters of their own minds, they do not feel it, nor do they know they are unhappy.

Instead, people find temporary stimulation and satisfaction in doing what they want: eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, satisfying desires, or spending money.

There is another matter: the exploitation of women. I see now that women are truly wronged; their bodies are being used by men. Everyone thinks this is mutual satisfaction, but it actually blocks the opportunity for true liberation and happiness. Especially for monastics—this thought must be severed! Whether it is men towards women or women towards men, physical desire is false.

What I see is that you all have demons within you! It is the demons that are attracting each other. A female demon enters a woman’s body, making her more 'feminine' to attract the attention of men through voice or movement, drawing them close and making them feel needed and satisfied. The man has a male demon within him, attracting the woman’s attention, giving her a sense of having someone to rely on and be noticed by. This causes a natural reaction in both bodies, followed by mutual demands and restlessness, bringing both satisfaction and pain. This is all the work of demons; I know it too well! Especially since humans have bodies, it makes it so easy for demons to attach and manipulate.

This situation is something we in the Western Dharma-Nature Land can see at any time, in any direction we look. It is clear that on Earth, sexual desire is quite prevalent. Naturally, if one follows the rules, there is at least some restraint. But everyone has a different role; for example, if a monastic exceeds their status or the , they will suffer. Your heart will definitely not be happy, and that is the kind of heart demons love the most!

An unhappy heart is very similar to the heart of a demon—depressed, worried, and with no outlet. Practitioner Su truly understands demons. 'Like attracts like'—similar temperaments attract each other, and different temperaments may also attract or repel. A demon will find a person with a similar temperament, or a target they want to toy with, and enter their body, making their depression deeper, their irritability worse, their anger more intense, or their outlook more pessimistic. Tell me, how long can that body endure?

When the body can no longer be used, the demon walks away, but the true self of that body must face the retribution. It is not worth it! Of course, I also remind demons: you are not off the hook. Every single thing you do to a human body is recorded in your Alaya consciousness, crystal clear. These will all face karmic retribution in the future, without fail.

A Call to Action

Practitioner Su has always hoped to promote Buddhist education. But to spread it in the human world, it seems he truly needs the help of Dharma protectors. Practitioner Su is working so hard! He wants everyone to hear the Buddha’s teachings, but resources are limited. He is a practitioner, and he has already saved immeasurable demons in the spirit realm. But what about the human world? People often only want to see the illusory side. They do not recognise, believe in, or even slander the true practitioner who is saving beings. It is truly a pity!

However, we demons have benefited from this. Practitioner Su spends much of his time on Chao Du for demons. If the human world keeps him busy, his time becomes limited, and the deliverance for the demon realm decreases. This is my own selfish thought, and it shouldn't be this way, but it is not without reason. It has brought great benefits to demons and spirit beings; this is also karma and Causal Conditions!

But seeing the karmic relationship where humans can practice to become Buddhas, and Buddhas can save demons, we sincerely wish for Practitioner Su’s wishes to be realised. We hope the human world—and not just the human world, but the Dharma Realm, the spirit realm, and the demon realm—can receive the Buddhist education that Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su wish to bring to everyone. During these days of listening to the teachings in the Western Dharma-Nature Land, I have set aside my position as a demon and, from an objective perspective, offer a few points for everyone’s reference.

It is important for people to recognise the value of Buddhist education, to know Namo Amituofo, the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and to know that the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and Namo Amituofo are here now. Everyone must hurry back to find the Buddha to be saved, to live the life that originally belonged to you—a life not controlled by other beings or demons.

People should understand that the Buddha’s teachings and the body are the 'technology of technologies.' As I introduced yesterday, these are things modern technology cannot achieve or replace. Only then can we help everyone live a better life.

I have heard that the Buddha’s teachings can not only return the body, mind, and spirit to a state of purity and goodness, but can also keep the body from aging and illness, prevent the spirit from dying, and allow one to chant Namo Amituofo to enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Such a wonderful thing should be told to everyone immediately! Do not let the soul suffer after death! Do not let it carry extreme resentment and extreme personality traits, only to be found by demons and brought into the demon realm to become a demon. If you do not meet Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, there is no way to turn your life around.

If the Buddhist education of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is spread quickly, allowing people, the spirit realm, and the demon realm to hear and receive it sooner, it will let everyone know the terror of the laws of karma and cause and effect, and they will not dare to do evil. They will learn to distinguish good from bad, know the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, and be able to change their personalities. They will not enter the demon realm, living in fear of being found by the laws of karma and cause and effect. It also gives children the chance to receive Buddhist education from a young age, free from the pollution of the environment and the intrusion of the demon realm, allowing them to find their true self, to realise that the body is the 'technology of technologies,' and to save immeasurable people, beings, and demons so they can leave the demon realm early. It even gives demons the chance to surrender, change their ways, and enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Understand that the demon realm now controls the Earth because of people’s selfishness, the over-inflation of the ego, and desires. This allows the entire Earth’s magnetic field to enter the demon realm’s magnetic field, making it easy for demons to operate. They enter human bodies, and people must know that karmic creditors and demons lock the true self, making the body unable to be the master, while karmic creditors or demons manipulate the human heart, using the human body to do evil, causing the true self to suffer and lose autonomy. After everyone knows the truth, they can learn Buddhism, chant Namo Amituofo, listen to the Buddha’s teachings, and find their true self and autonomy.

I hope people, beings, and the demon realm all have the chance to hear the Buddha’s teachings, to know to chant the Holy Name 'Namo Amituofo,' so they can receive the Buddha’s help, leave suffering early, and follow the Buddha to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

These terms and expressions are things I only learned after coming here. I did not understand so much before, but we learn very quickly. Now that I can apply what I have learned to express the Buddha’s teachings, I feel it is very good.

The Difference in Meditative Concentration

Because we have meditative concentration, we can subdue our thoughts and personalities. Past events are suppressed—it is not that the personality has changed; the personality is still there, but we do not move it, do not contemplate it, do not think about it.

A practitioner’s meditative concentration is different from a demon’s; there are different levels, and thus the quality of the spirit is also different. The purpose of practice is purification, and the method of purification is through 'Precepts (Discipline), Concentration and Wisdom.' These are often mentioned by the Buddha, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su during their Dharma talks. So, we have some understanding. For those practicing in the Pure Land who have meditative concentration, their concentration comes from changing their personality, keeping the precepts, and chanting Namo Amituofo. Therefore, the depth of concentration is related to purification and changing one's personality. If one can change until there is no personality left, practice will surely progress greatly, and it will be easy to realise one's true nature.

As for a demon’s meditative concentration, it is about not moving thoughts, not touching past events. So, the direction of concentration is naturally to suppress thoughts, not to contemplate, not to think, but the personality remains—it is just not touched. Especially for demons of my age, although our concentration is very deep, once we come out of concentration—for example, now in the Western Dharma-Nature Land, when encountering a situation or accepting an interview—our personality surfaces again. The interviewer should be able to notice this. The personality has not changed, so the karma still exists and will trigger the laws of karma and cause and effect. It is just that here in the Western Dharma-Nature Land, we are protected by the Buddha’s power. So, we are temporarily not sucked away by the laws of karma and cause and effect.

Practitioners' meditative concentration also varies. The higher the heavenly realm, the deeper the concentration; there is no manifestation of afflictions or personality, but the personality still exists—it is just suppressed by concentration. Even for celestial beings in the twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth heavens, their concentration lies in suppressing afflictions, not severing them. Although their concentration is deep, and before them is light and tranquility, their personality has not changed, or has not been thoroughly changed; it still exists, just suppressed. When encountering a situation, the personality still appears, still triggers karma, and they are still beings in the cycle of rebirth. This is what I saw when celestial beings from various realms came to the to seek Chao Du.

True practitioners have a different kind of concentration. They truly change their personality. After changing, there is nothing left; the heart is clean and bright. Naturally, realising one's true nature becomes easy. While our concentration is deep and strong, our personality has not changed, so our hearts are still black, still polluted, and the light we emit is still 'dark light.'

The Buddha’s concentration is even higher. Practitioners, such as those who have realised their true nature, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, have absolutely no personality; they are always in concentration. 'The true self is inherently in concentration,' is it not? I can read this sentence in your consciousness. Since the true self is in concentration, it means it is empty, very clean, and clear. Therefore, the heart-light naturally manifests, and their body-light is the clean and bright Buddha-light! Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and those who have realised their true nature have no personality—not even a trace. This is just as Practitioner Su said in his Dharma talks: 'If you change until you have absolutely no personality, you have realised your true nature!' This is the difference between having concentration with a changed personality and one without—the difference is too great!

In a state of concentration, we can also see and accept new things, learning very quickly. This is the benefit of a demon with meditative concentration. Moreover, we can apply what we see and learn at any time. Because our thoughts and personalities are still there, we are still responsible for the karma.

We know that the Western Dharma-Nature Land exists only because of Practitioner Su. The Western Dharma-Nature Land is with Practitioner Su. Practitioner Su is, after all, in a physical, human body; there is no body that never dies, so there will be a time when Practitioner Su’s affinity with this body ends. Of course, Practitioner Su is no longer controlled by fate; he can come and go freely in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and will not be limited by the lifespan of rebirth. This is also the benefit of realising one's true nature. But from the past until now, we have never heard of a human body that is truly immortal; at most, one can live a long time, but the physical body has an end, a time when it must leave everyone.

Therefore, I hope everyone can grasp the time while Practitioner Su is still in the world and come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to learn! Demons, too—come and surrender! The learning situation in the Western Dharma-Nature Land is much better than outside.

How well one learns depends mostly on the heart. Because upon arriving here, the demon’s heart is at peace, and naturally, one will listen. If you listen, that record will be made in your Alaya consciousness, and you will slowly purify. If you chant 'Namo Amituofo,' the purification is even faster. Just as I, Magic Rong, listen very well to Namo Amituofo—this time in the Dharma Realm, I listened to Namo Amituofo, thoroughly, from beginning to end, chanting 'Namo Amituofo' without interruption, saving countless demon children and grandchildren. Now, everyone is in the Western Dharma-Nature Land. Therefore, I am very grateful for Namo Amituofo’s teachings.

In fact, Namo Amituofo is teaching the fourfold assembly of disciples at all times. As for how much everyone absorbs and how much they listen, that depends on each person’s own affinity. If you, the fourfold assembly of disciples, can also listen to Namo Amituofo, you can also save the immeasurable beings within you! Save them into the Western Dharma-Nature Land, and you yourself will be saved! Perhaps your true self will manifest, and you can become a Buddha, saving more demons, more humans, and more beings together with Practitioner Su. Is this not a wonderful thing?

I, Magic Rong, have even become compassionate in my speech, because Namo Amituofo’s teachings at that time revealed my . Now, the more I listen, the more I understand the Buddha’s teachings. Logically, the fourfold assembly of disciples at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has the best opportunity to receive these benefits. I believe you are currently in the process; being controlled by demons in your thoughts and bodies is also a process. The day you wake up and listen, you will be saved! The immeasurable beings within you will also be saved! I see that some of them hate you very much; what they do is no less than what demons do. Although you are all practicing and doing good deeds, or doing work for the temple, or performing assigned duties, some beings will appreciate it, so they listen and leave—leaving for where? Leaving for the Western Dharma-Nature Land.

Having the Western Dharma-Nature Land is truly wonderful! I must be grateful to Practitioner Su! If there were no such place, how could we save demons? If there were no Western Dharma-Nature Land, we could not save the karmic creditors, demons, and attached spirits within all of you. Practitioner Su strikes the qing every day, sending away immeasurable beings. This Western Dharma-Nature Land is truly inconceivable! No matter how many beings are sent, it can accommodate them all. This is the Buddha-nature; this is the Dharma-nature.

If I continue to listen to the Dharma like this, perhaps one day I can realise my true nature. Because I have discovered that I had such a foundation in the past, I can draw inferences about other cases; these are all good Dharma. If so, that would be great; I do not want to go back to the days of being a demon. At that time, it was because I had not heard the Buddha’s teachings and had no opportunity to receive Buddhist education. I believe many demons are quite intelligent; if they had such an opportunity, they could also quickly manifest their true nature, and thus another Buddha would be added, and many beings could be saved.

Thinking of the past, thinking of the beings I harmed, my heart truly cannot bear it. Here, I will not face karmic retribution. If one day I return to Earth or the Dharma Realm, I hope I can meet the Buddha, so I will not become bad again. However, I will never leave Namo Amituofo again; I will stay in the Western Dharma-Nature Land. Or I will follow the Buddha and Practitioner Su into the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Or I will join the salvation team. These are all places I can go. In short, I will never return to the demon realm.

This is the heartfelt voice of Magic Rong and my advice to everyone. I hope you can take it to heart. In fact, much of what I have said has been told to everyone by Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, or Practitioner Su. The difference is that I am a demon who has now turned over a new leaf. I hope the demons can understand what I am saying. Listening will bring benefits; I am one of them.

I will continue to receive Buddhist education in the Western Dharma-Nature Land, thoroughly changing myself, removing my demonic personality, and allowing my Buddha-nature to manifest. I will always follow the Buddha and will never leave the Buddha again.

Alright, I will stop here.

Gratitude to Namo Amituofo, gratitude to Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, gratitude to Practitioner Su.

Namo Amituofo.
