If one has not yet rediscovered the infinite light of their true self, they remain bound to endless suffering and anxiety. The vow of Namo Amituofo to help all beings leave suffering behind is truly infinite, spanning across all time and space.
The Persistent Search for the True Self
If you seek the but have not yet seen your true nature, your diligent practice must never cease. If you do not reach in this lifetime, you must continue your practice in the next, seeking your original nature until you finally succeed. This pursuit of the Dharma and the quest to see your true nature is a journey that continues until the moment you finally realise your true self.
The Cycle of Suffering and Attachment
Delusional thoughts, discriminations, and attachments are the chains that bind us to the cycle of rebirth. If we do not subdue and cut through these, our will surely feel our presence, and the manifestation of negative will seem to last forever. We are trapped in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, facing endless suffering. If one does not understand the nature of these sufferings, one cannot attain liberation, and the cycle of the six realms of existence continues without pause. We must hold fast to the vow of rebirth in the of Ultimate Bliss until we succeed, for it is there that we can truly complete the Buddha's path.
