The Eternal Compassion of Lokesvararaja Buddha

The Eternal Vows of the Buddha

On the second day of April in the year 2017, during the second session of the Thrice Yearning Ceremony, Lokesvararaja Buddha provided these compassionate teachings. Lokesvararaja Buddha once dwelt in this world, guiding the Dharmakara Bhikshu for forty-two kalpas. This profound connection was the manifestation of Causal Conditions and karmic fruits. Today, Namo Amituofo vows to abide in this world, just as Lokesvararaja Buddha did in his own time. Though the Causal Conditions of the world are diverse and myriad, the essence of the Buddha's work remains constant.

The virtues, abilities, and Wisdom (Prajna) are all fully revealed. There is no need for strange, supernatural transformations, for these qualities are already inherent within your true self. Worldly people, in their ignorance, speak of slander. They depart in confusion, but who truly suffers the loss? The enlightened one remains untouched, not losing even a fraction of their being. Instead, these adverse conditions serve as assistance, helping to reveal the Dharma Body all the sooner. This is the path of Practitioner Su.

The Infinite Nature of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre

Residing in this temple at this time, within a single floor of the building in Shiding, the space seems limited to only a few dozen square metres. Yet, who would know that within this temple, there is no space and no time? The past, the present, and the world beyond are all fused together here, governed by the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is also connected to this very place.

Why then offer criticism or pass judgement? How can one truly understand the significance of this corner of the world? The Buddha manifests in the world to save infinite beings. Who understands the suffering of the masses, and who truly cares? If one could save them, it would only be for a fleeting moment.

Awakening from the Dream of Karma

How can one achieve ultimate liberation? There is no other path but to seek rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The confused remain lost; when will they awaken? One must thoroughly understand the facts of the world: it is merely a dream of karmic bonds. If you are attached to your own ego, you must awaken.

Awakening from this dream happens in a single, fleeting instant. We hope that all disciples will manifest their true nature at that moment, shining their light upon all beings throughout the universe. Namo Amituofo.
