The Freedom of the Awakened Spirit
The of an awakened being moves through the world; the spirit soars high in the sky in perfect freedom, witnessing the suffering of all beings and transcending it. The most precious Buddha-actions in this world are the lectures. Because they manifest the Buddha-heart, the Buddha-vow, and the Buddha-actions before the eyes of the public, they ensure that the precious experience and process of becoming an awakened being are passed down to future generations.
The Compassionate Work of
Practitioner Su continuously provides lectures, inviting spirits to resolve their grievances and performing Chao Du. This enables those who hear the scriptures to understand the laws of and cause and effect, to know that ordinary people have profound karma, and that it continues to grow and consume beings without pause. They are then inspired to seek to leave this world, to chant Buddha's name, and to make a vow to be reborn in the of Ultimate Bliss.
The Boundless Reach of the Body
The Dharma Body of an awakened being is priceless. The spirit can fly to this world and others, the six realms of existence, the Four Holy Realms, the Milky Way, the universe, the realms beyond the heavens, the domains of demonic beings, and other mysterious realms; it can travel throughout the entire Dharma Realm at will. A bird spreads its wings to fly, but its flight is driven by karma. The countless manifestations of the awakened Dharma Body, however, are not driven by karmic force. They fly throughout the Dharma Realm to perform Chao Du, entering the Three Evil Realms to save countless beings.
