The Great Cause of Saving the World
An Interview with Venerable Changren
Recorded on September 14, 2018
This interview features Venerable Changren, who shares insights into the profound work of spiritual deliverance and the mission of saving the world conducted at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre. This record was transcribed by the chief writer, Shi Faxi, on September 14, 2018.
Venerable Changren speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. I am Venerable Changren. When we discuss the integration of -Mind-Spirit, we are essentially addressing the state of the three souls. At this moment, the Wisdom of Practitioner Su is working to unify these three souls for many individuals. This is truly a magnificent and profound undertaking. I have personally witnessed Practitioner Su exerting immense effort, pouring her entire spirit and heart into this work. Practitioner Su has only one singular focus in her heart: to fulfil the great cause of saving the world as established by Namo Amituofo."
The Integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit
"In this modern age, the hearts of people are fragmented and scattered in many directions. It is truly rare to find someone whose heart is genuinely in sync and resonant with the heart of Practitioner Su. If people could truly awaken their resolve and cultivate a heart as vast and compassionate as hers, the power generated would be enough to transform the world. I see clearly the nature of everyone’s hearts and minds; I know exactly how much sincerity is truly being invested. The void of the universe sees all things with perfect clarity. I can only earnestly counsel everyone to engage in true practice and to genuinely dedicate your own strength to the benefit of all beings. Do not continue to be selfish, for that only brings harm upon yourselves."
A Call to Sincere Practice
"The of these beings within the void is an incredibly rare and precious opportunity. Their three souls are now clear, and having witnessed this grand cause, their is even more profound. I am truly delighted that they are finally facing the issues of their own physical bodies. Now, I will also do my utmost to help their three souls return to their bodies and remember everything they have learned. If we all work together in this way, I believe this journey of saving the world will become increasingly magnificent."
The Path to the Western Pure Land
"I am deeply grateful to Practitioner Su for her unwavering support and sacrifice along this path. The path that Practitioner Su walks is one that I will also support until the very end. Our ultimate goal is to seek rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Our Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is, in essence, the Western Pure Land manifested here. I am filled with gratitude for Practitioner Su, and I am filled with gratitude for Namo Amituofo. May the Buddha’s shine upon us all. Namo Amituofo."
