The Distant Journey of Spirits Seeking Deliverance

The Sign of the White Mist

During the Thrice Yearning Ceremony or even on ordinary days, you may observe a thick, swirling white mist enveloping the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. When you see this phenomenon, you should understand that it signifies the arrival of countless spirits who have come to seek Chao Du. Within this dense white mist, there are innumerable sentient beings from various dimensions of space. If you were to communicate with these beings, or if you were to write their names on memorial tablets, you would begin to comprehend the vast distances they have travelled to reach this sanctuary.

A Journey Across the Dharma Realm

Some of these spirits originate from the farthest reaches of the universe, travelling from distant planets within the Milky Way. Because they lack the necessary energy to sustain their existence, they have endured an arduous journey, traversing layer upon layer of the Dharma Realm. They have travelled thousands of miles to arrive at this specific location: the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. This is a truly distant journey, undertaken with the singular purpose of reaching the temple to implore Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for Chao Du and the vital energy they so desperately require.

The Compassion of Deliverance

Among these spirits, there are also ghosts and sentient beings with karmic affinity from China, Southeast Asia, Japan, and the local regions of Australia. These include spirits without bodies and ghosts residing in graveyards. Many of these are beings who have had karmic connections with Practitioner Su over time, and there are even demon crowds among them who have come to seek deliverance. Once their names are inscribed on memorial tablets and Practitioner Su strikes the bell to perform the Dharma Body Chao Du, these beings are guided into the Western Land of Dharma Nature. Following this, you can observe the white mist rapidly dissipating, allowing the original surroundings to become clear once more.

Saving Infinite Beings

To this day, an immeasurable number of beings hidden within the white mist have been successfully delivered. This includes water vapour molecules and various forms of water-based sentient beings. These beings have been saved precisely because the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre exists, because Namo Amituofo is truly present here, and because the Teacher and Practitioner Su are here to guide them. This is the sacred work of the temple in delivering sentient beings. Furthermore, there are even celestial beings from the twenty-eight heavens and sages from the Four Sacred Realms who seek deliverance. This is a rare opportunity, difficult to encounter in millions of years, where beings from such vast distances are finally granted salvation. Namo Amituofo.
