The Demon's Quest for Uniqueness

This is a record of an interview with Moluobi, a demon who existed for 7,926 trillion years, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Dharma-Nature Land. This interview was recorded by the chief writer, Shi Fa, on March 17, 2026.

Moluobi speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am Moluobi. Among the many demon crowds who have been exerting influence over the region of China, I consider myself a significant member. My primary demonic palace is situated within the realm of the demonic and heretical, yet the rapid development of the Chinese region has always held a strange fascination for me. After listening to the reports from my 'demon children and grandchildren,' I found myself thinking: 'Is this environment not perfectly suited for the growth of what we call the demonic and heretical?'

The Allure of the Unique

The people there possess a character that yearns for the very things we demons embody. They crave novelty, they crave change, they crave the bizarre—they want to be different from everyone else. Why? Simply to court popularity and attract attention. This is the deepest desire in the hearts of people today. Do not be fooled by our strange appearances; is it not true that deep down, humans are also desperate to highlight their own specialness?

Conformity, being the same as everyone else—that is a thing of the past. In this era, one must possess a unique brand to survive. Whether in business, art, or social standing, what gets noticed is the eccentric trait, the bizarre appearance, the unconventional personality, or the shocking way of speaking. To be different and to make people gasp in astonishment—that is the current law of survival. My goodness, this is so perfectly in sync with us! After hearing the reports from my subordinates, I could not help but feel eager to come to the Chinese region to expand my influence.

However, I decided to let my subordinates continue managing things for a while longer to see how it would unfold. That was my initial calculation. After some time, they reported back to me that their development had been incredibly successful.

A Nation of Demons

Because of this, I continued to observe the development of China, and I discovered that it was truly a scene of demons dancing in chaos. All sorts of demonic beings were finding their home on this land. It was truly breathtaking; the entire country had become a demon nation. I suppose the Earth itself is a demon planet. That must be the case.

I was born on an ordinary planet. Although my original nature was quite simple, my physical form was always a bit different from others—what you might call deformed. This was not something I desired; I was born this way, and there was no way to change it. Because of this physique, I was discriminated against by my peers and even my own family. They could not understand why I looked the way I did. It was a helpless situation. Perhaps this was what you call the laws of karma and cause and effect, the karma created in previous lives.

A Life of Distortion and Defiance

I was quite indifferent at first, thinking, 'If this is how it is, then so be it.' Although I had to endure torture and the criticism of others, I accepted it calmly. But 'acceptance' felt a bit cowardly to me. I did not want to admit that my physical form was a sign of weakness. Instead, I chose to believe that I was simply unique and that they were too ignorant to appreciate it. So, since people thought I was strange, I decided to lean into it and make it even more exaggerated. My appearance was already odd, and people were already imagining that I would behave strangely; since that was the case, I decided to live up to their expectations. I began to engage in increasingly outrageous behaviours.

In short, I wanted people to see that I was special, and I wanted them to know that I should not be compared to ordinary people. Because I was born different, with a strange appearance and bizarre behaviour, I decided that was just how it would be—no need for further criticism or comparison. As I grew older, my behaviour became more and more peculiar, eventually spiraling beyond my own control. At first, I just wanted to show that I was different, but later, my actions became truly extreme, even violent toward others.

Naturally, this led to me being shunned by society and even attacked by mobs. Eventually, I was thrown into prison, stripped of my freedom. Even inside, I continued my descent into madness.

The Rise to Demon King

Looking back now, that was no longer something I could control. Because of my long-term extreme and bizarre mental state, I had attracted demonic beings from the Demon Realm who were in sync with me. They had already brought me into the space of the Demon Realm, waiting only for my life to end so I could officially join them. Sure enough, when I died in prison, my spirit officially entered the Demon Realm. I felt quite comfortable there. Everyone was like me; everyone was incredibly strange and distorted. Although we were 'strange,' once you joined, it became the norm.

In short, everyone there believes that each person should have their own feature. There is no need for consistency, no need to look the same, and certainly no need to follow the rules. Whatever personality, role, or development you have, and whatever traits you carry, that is the standard here. No one needs to accept anyone else, and no one needs to agree with anything. Everyone has their own specialty—that is the rule of our world. In fact, the stranger your appearance and the more twisted your heart, the more likely you are to be elected as the Demon King and rise to higher levels.

Everyone knows that the more twisted a demon's heart is, the more they possess the qualities of the Demon Realm—what we call demon nature. Having been treated unfairly since childhood and having developed a twisted heart, I was, naturally, very, very twisted.

Seven Trillion Years of Wandering

Throughout my growth, with the training and reinforcement from the beings of the Demon Realm, I was born already looking very twisted. I never imagined that a spirit could be like this. Although my body was indeed different, I did not expect my demon spirit to be even more distorted. My body was pitch black, my facial features were not in their normal positions, and my physical structure was completely different—it is truly hard to describe. If an ordinary person saw me, they would surely run for their lives. My expectation for myself, and what I was most proud of, was that after wandering in the Demon Realm for so long, I relied on this twisted nature to climb higher and higher, eventually breaking through to the status of Demon King.

As time passed, I spent 7,926 trillion years in the Demon Realm. Who would normally count such a number? You only need to be different; the number is not important. But accepting this interview forced me to re-examine my own demon spirit. I did not realise so much time had passed in the blink of an eye. It sounds quite good, actually—quite unique. This has always been my character; don't be surprised, the stranger, the better. That is the standard in our Demon Realm.

The Golden Light of Salvation

After reaching a certain scale of development, as I mentioned, my subordinates reported that the situation in China was indeed just like our Demon Realm. The style of being plain, identical, and rule-abiding was no longer liked by modern people. If you want to be beautiful, handsome, or have a unique style, if you can stand out in a crowd, if you can shock ten thousand people with a single word, or attract everyone's eyes with a single gesture—that is the key to survival and success today. Is this not exactly what we, the demonic and heretical, are? I was pleasantly surprised and very excited!

Oh my, I had discovered a treasure land! The people here actually worshipped such things. Did that not mean they were inviting us to take over? This was too interesting! I rolled up my sleeves, ready to expand into China. After a period of development, things went very smoothly; everyone identified with our way of doing things. For those who loved to show off, be different, and be unconventional, we gave them a massive boost of demon power, allowing them to be filled with special ideas and bizarre thoughts, to come up with ideas no one else could, and to perform actions that were truly unique. These were the results of the efforts of my demon children and grandchildren and the Demon Kings. The results were quite successful!

We also successfully recruited more powerful demons with very strong demon natures. Once they passed away, with a little training, they could quickly take over the position of Demon King. This could be called 'the times create heroes.' Without such a good environment, we would never have been able to recruit such powerful talent for our Demon Realm. My goodness, heaven was truly helping me!

The Confrontation with Buddha-Light

However, just as I was thinking this, a sudden change occurred. The Chinese region began to be illuminated by a golden light, and after people were touched by this golden light, their demon nature faded significantly. This made me very unhappy! In this way, wouldn't such a change reduce my opportunities to recruit talent?

Moreover, our demon children and grandchildren were relying on the mutated and biased mental states of the vast population in this region to absorb energy. Was this not a direct confrontation with us? After observing for a while, I discovered that this behaviour came from the salvation team of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, led by Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su.

We certainly did not like this behaviour, but to confront it, I had to observe for a while. After all, having survived in the Demon Realm for so long, I have considerable experience: only fight battles you are sure you can win. If you are not sure, why start? Just avoid the sharp edge; there is no need to conflict with them. This has been my rule of survival for a long time. As long as I avoid conflict with others, I can naturally find more humans and demons that are in sync with me, and naturally expand our influence without unnecessary conflict.

Of course, if the opponent is not worth mentioning and can be swallowed by us, that is just a matter of lifting a finger. Why overthink it? Just swallow them. That has always been my style. After observing a few times, I realised this team was massive. In terms of numbers, I was not entirely sure of victory; and their behaviour of Chao Du and their methods looked very terrifying. It felt like they were spreading to many regions instantly, and their speed of movement was quite astonishing.

This light that was radiating must be what is called 'Buddha' and 'Buddha-light.' Oh my, I had heard a little bit about it. The power of this Buddha cannot be underestimated. Although I had not officially experienced it, from my observations, it was not worth a direct confrontation. I also watched other peers; the big shots of the Demon Realm also went forward. They thought of attacking Practitioner Su. Others chose to use magic from a distance, which was also very smart, but no matter what tricks they used, I saw that there was no follow-up after they encountered the team.

The Inevitable Return to Peace

Oh my, this 'Buddha' really cannot be provoked. If we cannot move them, we should not try easily; just avoid their sharp edge. I retreated to my base in the demonic and heretical space, observing the development of the Earth from a distance, while I kept my demon crowds stationed on Earth to continue managing China. This was a wiser way to protect myself.

Perhaps everyone thinks I am being cowardly, but a demon must think long-term. Why fight with a team on one planet and struggle for a small place? Although China is indeed very in sync with us, the universe is vast, and the ten directions are so large; why be confined to a small place?

Of course, I also know that Practitioner Su's team is not only developing on Earth, but they truly have their presence throughout the ten directions. But there is always space for demons to survive; that is something I am very confident about. However, with Practitioner Su continuing to sweep through China, my demon children and grandchildren were also being subdued by Practitioner Su. This made it very difficult for me to operate in China.

I returned to China to observe the situation, sent another batch of new demon children and grandchildren, and established a new small demon palace. But every once in a while, Practitioner Su would discover these new demon palaces and destroy them, which made me very frustrated. While I was deep in thought, I discovered that Practitioner Su had also broken through the base of my demonic and heretical realm, which made me very nervous. Why could he discover my base so quickly? Could it be that my demon children and grandchildren were leaking information?

Actually, I could not investigate; I could only try my best to guard my demon palace. But under the illumination of this incomparably vast golden light, I have seen this scene countless times; this golden light is almost invincible! In an instant, my very unique demon palace disappeared, returning to plainness. This made me a little bit furious; after all, what I dislike most is things looking plain and unremarkable.

Rather than saying the demon palace was destroyed, it is better to say the demon palace lost its uniqueness, which made me very unhappy. I used all my demon power to charge toward the golden light team. But very quickly, within the golden light, I was brought to a new world.

A New Understanding

It was very bright and flat here, and at first, I was very uncomfortable. I did not like such a wide and flat world; it should have been strange and distorted. However, with the continuous shining of the Buddha-light, my heart became calmer and calmer. I was surprised to find that my appearance seemed to be slowly changing: the sharpness and special styling were gone, and my originally crooked facial features seemed to be slowly returning to their proper places.

This had never happened before, and it shocked me greatly. I could not understand this situation. I kept asking the beings in this space with my mental notes, what on earth was going on? The answer I received was: 'This is the Buddha-land. In the Buddha-land, everyone is equal.' I was so shocked when I heard that. I wanted to be angry, but I felt that this answer should have been the case. Why did I have such a thought? Could it be that deep down, I really believed that everyone should be equal?

I remembered the various things I encountered when I was young, and at that time, a thought had arisen in my heart: 'If only I could be the same as others.' It turned out that deep in my memory, there was still such a thing as 'good roots'? I was not sure, but this truly awakened my long-lost memories.

I continued to listen to the sutras on the Dharma-Nature Land and watched Practitioner Su perform mass Chao Du for beings in various spaces and realms. I sighed in surprise: it turns out that every Demon Realm and every space has its own persistence and attachments, and they also have things they cannot let go of.

Past experiences are always difficult to talk about. At that time, without the Buddha’s teachings, I was forced to create various mental states and behaviours to protect myself. This is also a true portrayal of me. It seems that under the illumination of the Buddha-light, I have regained much calmness and slowly reduced much of my demon nature. I am not used to this state, but I am still slowly making changes. Today, accepting this interview, I can only share a little of my journey.

A Message to My Kind

This place is truly filled with golden light and surrounded by Buddhas. The great Bodhisattvas famous in Buddhism—at first, I did not recognise them, but since Practitioner Su named them, I pointed them out one by one. Here are: the greatest, Namo Amituofo, Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

For the various Bodhisattvas, you only need to think of them in the space, and the sound can travel thousands of miles without obstruction; you can call any Bodhisattva in the space at any time. This is what I observed here. The mental notes here can truly be transmitted far and wide, and there is no obstruction with the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. If you want to communicate, you can communicate with mental notes; as long as your faith is pure and good, you can basically communicate heart-to-heart.

I also want to say a word to my friends in the demonic and heretical realm, as well as the beings in the Demon Realm with whom I have had karmic affinity in the past: although you have not yet entered the world of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, and have not received the salvation of Namo Amituofo in this Dharma affinity, you can actually surrender voluntarily. You do not have to wait until Practitioner Su destroys your demon palace to escape your original predicament.

Actually, everyone knows that you are acting fiercely in one place to prove your existence and to prove your philosophy; but in the end, it is also to make up for the injustice, the gap, and the injuries you suffered in the past. If you are truly willing to let go and follow Namo Amituofo, the Buddha-light can actually give you what you want, without the need to struggle so hard to fight for it.

Here, the heart is calm and stable. Although you may not have thought about it, from the perspective of someone who has already walked the path, it is indeed much more stable than the heart that is always jumping and floating, trying to be fierce and different. This has also made my spirit more stable and comfortable—that is the only way to describe it. And if you still do not believe in Namo Amituofo, and do not believe in the salvation of Practitioner Su, then you can continue. But I must remind you all: Practitioner Su's salvation team carries the merit and majestic power of Namo Amituofo, which is boundless.

This is what is called 'Namo Amituofo's Dharma Realm Hidden Body.' Actually, Namo Amituofo knows where everyone lives; he is just waiting for the Dharma affinity to lead you. As for when your Dharma affinity will arrive, I do not know. But the Dharma affinity will eventually arrive; there will eventually be that day.

Since you can hear the Buddha-name of Namo Amituofo, or hear my interview manuscript, you must also have a karmic affinity with the Buddha. Since you have a karmic affinity with the Buddha, your demon palace will inevitably be destroyed one day. Instead of wasting your effort guarding a place that will eventually be destroyed, it is better to save that time and join the salvation team, so that you can escape your original predicament earlier.

This is what I say with a heavy heart, as a demon who has been rolling in the demonic and heretical realm for many years. Perhaps deep down, I have wanted to join this team for a long time, but due to my personality of wanting to be different, I was unable to join in time.

That is all for now. Thank you, Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, for giving me the opportunity to accept this interview.

Namo Amituofo.
