Teachings from Namo Amituofo:
We have created boundless throughout our past lives. For the beings residing within the bodies of the fourfold assembly, this present life is the time for salvation. Do not attempt to awaken those who are not yet ready, but for those who are already awake, we must work diligently to resolve their conflicts. During the assembly, you must focus your entire heart on chanting Namo Amituofo. Active participation in these gatherings is your path to self-salvation.
The Light of
The Buddha-light shines everywhere, assisting you in dissolving your karma. When your impurities are extinguished and Goodness arises, you are under the protection of the Buddha. It is a great fortune to have encountered Practitioner Su; each of you is a precious treasure in the hands of the Buddha. The truths of the universe are being explained to you one by one. If you can truly listen and take these teachings to heart, do not fall back into confusion. You must chant Namo Amituofo and never forget the Buddha.
The Antidote to
If you are controlled by demons and fail to chant Namo Amituofo, you will inevitably fall into a state of drowsiness or drift into a wandering spiritual space. In doing so, you will only move further and further away from the Buddha. I invite all my children to refrain from delusions and wrong actions in your daily lives. Chanting Namo Amituofo thousands or tens of thousands of times is the fundamental practice of your spiritual journey. Do not disregard this basic training, for it is the method that saves one in ten, one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, depending on the individual's Dharma affinity.
Tools for Concentration
Each person's Dharma affinity is different. If you can make good use of a counting device, or if you use prayer beads—which are also gifted according to Dharma affinity—they can serve as helpful reminders to keep chanting. Some practitioners find that counting helps them maintain focus, while others find that holding prayer beads helps them settle their minds. If you find yourself becoming drowsy while performing prostrations or listening to the sutras, I hope that chanting Namo Amituofo will help you wake up. We must strive to save as many beings as we possibly can.
The Power of Buddha’s
The merit of chanting Namo Amituofo can manifest in your life, and your heart of compassion can be revealed. Only then will your through visualisation be effective. When you chant Namo Amituofo, you receive the Buddha's blessings, which enable you to maintain the heart of visualisation and the conduct of saving beings. If you do not chant, you will be controlled by your karma and find it difficult to be the master of your own life. Drowsiness and drifting into wandering spaces will manifest at any time. How then could you maintain the heart of visualisation, let alone engage in the conduct of saving beings?
Turning the Heart Inward
Dharma protectors can protect you from external harm, but they cannot protect you from what is within. To protect your inner self, you must rely on the transformation of your own heart. However, you face many obstacles in this transformation, including the interference of , spiritual attachments, and demonic obstacles. Now, you must rely on your own . You must quickly and diligently chant the Buddha-name so that the Buddha's blessings can reach you. Only this power can resolve the obstacles caused by karmic creditors, spiritual attachments, and demonic obstacles. Namo Amituofo.
