Teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju

The Nature of Reality
Reality is a complex tapestry woven from both the illusory and the true. It permeates all space, existing right here between you and me. The world we inhabit is filled with false appearances that distract us from our original nature. However, within the Buddha-land, we seek the ultimate Truth. You must understand this clearly, for it is the foundation of your practice.
A Rare and Precious Spiritual Connection
If you did not possess good roots and accumulated from your past lives, you would not have this rare and precious spiritual connection today. It is incredibly difficult to enter the Buddha-land, to hear the voice of the Buddha, or to behold the Buddha's form. Because you have cultivated such deep affinity, you have been granted this opportunity.
The Urgency of the -Ending Age
You must truly seize every minute and every second. Encountering the Buddha today is no ordinary event. We live in the Dharma-ending age, a time where good and evil are intermingled. The True Teachings are hard to find, and it is often difficult to distinguish them from false or misleading paths. It is a great pity that the Great Dharma of the is not yet fully manifest to all. The suffering of sentient beings is truly unbearable, and they are in desperate need of guidance.
The Salvation of Namo Amituofo
Only Namo Amituofo can rescue all suffering sentient beings. Many people do not know this, and they lack the blessings to receive this teaching. However, the spirits in the underworld rejoice greatly because the Buddha has appeared. The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre serves as the headquarters of the Pure Land school. It possesses the unique ability to send sentient beings to rebirth in the Western Pure Land. This is a rare opportunity that you must cherish with all your heart.
Recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
