The Guardian of Mount Wutai: A Three-Millennium Vigil

This is a record of an interview with Lin Du, the Mountain God of Mount Wutai, who sought Chao Du at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Dharma Nature. This account reflects upon his life and service spanning approximately three thousand years. Recorded by the chief writer, Shi Fa, on March 10, 2026.

Lin Du speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am the Mountain God of Mount Wutai. Although I am known by the title of Mountain God, I am essentially the guardian spirit of the Mount Wutai region. I was appointed by the Jade Emperor to this post to look after the many pilgrims, tourists, and local residents of Mount Wutai, as well as the countless earth spirits that remain invisible to the physical eyes of humans. All of this falls under my jurisdiction—though it is perhaps more accurate to say that I am a parental official who cares for the local area. As the father of this land, I have watched over every life and every spirit within these mountains and forests for three thousand years.

The Glory of Protecting a Bodhisattva's Bodhimanda

Mount Wutai is most famous for being the bodhimanda of Manjushri Bodhisattva. This fact added great lustre to my tenure as Mountain God, and I have always taken immense pride in the duty of protecting the bodhimanda of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Over these three millennia, I have witnessed the rise and fall of Buddhism. Initially, before I took up the post of Mountain God, the land was still very primitive and undeveloped. People’s characters were relatively simple and pure, and Buddhism had not yet been introduced to China. Before becoming the Mountain God, I was born into a family at the foot of Mount Wutai. My parents farmed the land at the mountain's base. The villagers lived very simple lives, and I possessed a high sensitivity to nature; I could communicate with the animals in the forest, as well as with the earth, the trees, and the tree spirits.

I often ran off to play on Mount Wutai. The mountain was incredibly pure, and the spirits there were very kind and welcoming. Whenever I went to play with the Grandfather Tree Spirit and the animals in the forest, everyone was always delighted by my arrival. Through them, I learned many things that ordinary people could never know. This was knowledge that could only be learned in a clean, spiritual space.

The Natural Laws of the Universe

The spirits and the many earth deities were able to perceive the flowing changes in nature and the mountains through this natural space. By learning from them, I came to understand the patterns by which nature operates. I learned that the growth of all things has its own seasons, timing, and schedule; one cannot arbitrarily violate these natural mechanisms. If any spirit attempted to develop or grow at the wrong time or season, they would suffer the punishment of nature. This was a very serious matter. The spirits told me that as long as everyone conforms to the operation of nature, we can live in peace and even receive the protection of the natural environment.

Often, the many animals in the forest would share their stories with me. Listening to them, I realised that everyone was originally living their own lives in their own respective eras. Most of them were actually the ancestors of their clans—they were ancestral spirits. However, I wondered why these ancestral spirits had become animals. They explained that during their time living in human form, whenever they acted in ways that violated the natural laws, they would later enter different spaces and levels in different forms to compensate for the harm they had caused to nature. Knowing this truth, I developed an even deeper respect for all things between heaven and earth.

A Test of Faith and Sacrifice

I knew that I could not hold any disrespectful or impure thoughts toward the myriad things of heaven and earth while in my human form. Every blade of grass, every tree, and even the sand, soil, insects, and ants on this land possessed a very high level of spirituality and had to be valued and respected. I continued to traverse Mount Wutai with this respectful attitude. The mountain peaks were towering and steep, and the spaces located in the higher layers were even more distinct.

There were colder, icy magnetic fields there, covered in ice and snow. The forests on the land felt a constant chill due to the extreme cold and low temperatures. I tried to ask the spirits there why they had become an icy, snowy landscape, but they could not respond to my questions. I felt they were enduring immense suffering, which made me very curious, yet I could not obtain an answer.

One day, while traversing the forest, I saw a vision: Mount Wutai was about to undergo a massive change, and the villages at the foot of the mountain, the villagers, and the forests within the mountain would all suffer a catastrophe. I was powerless to change it, so I could only try my best to persuade the spirits and animals in the mountain to flee as quickly as possible. I also urged the people in the village to leave the foot of Mount Wutai to seek temporary shelter.

However, the villagers did not believe me; they thought I was just speaking nonsense. Why would such an extreme disaster appear out of nowhere? While I was distressed and at a loss, a heavy, deep, and low voice transmitted a message to me, heart-to-heart. He told me he was the Mountain God of Mount Wutai. He understood that Mount Wutai would face such a calamity that day, and that I was the only one capable of perceiving it. I explained the results of my attempts, confirming that people were generally unwilling to believe me.

When I conveyed the situation of the disaster to the animals through my mental notes, they believed me, but they did not know where to go. The scale of the disaster on Mount Wutai was immense; they did not know where to migrate to truly avoid it. The Mountain God told me that this was the natural karmic retribution of Mount Wutai. However, if I could make a vow with my own body to sincerely serve the beings of Mount Wutai and serve as the Mountain God in the days to come, I might gain the opportunity to improve this catastrophe.

At that moment, my only thought was that saving lives was the priority. No matter what the conditions were, I could accept them. The Mountain God knew my intention and told me I could loosen a large rock on the mountain to make it fall, creating a massive sound. This sound would cause great vibration and shock to the spirits in the mountain and would also let the people at the foot of the mountain hear the abnormality. Through this method, people would believe that a massive crustal movement was about to occur on Mount Wutai. I followed the Mountain God's instructions and reached the location of the large rock. But no matter how I pushed or tried to loosen it, the rock remained unmoved.

The Mountain God instructed me that my current method would not work. However, if I could jump onto the rock from a specific position on the mountain with a specific force and angle, the rock would be shaken by the impact and begin to roll down the mountain. He warned me, however, that this action could not guarantee my safety. If I was still willing to do it, I could proceed. I knew in my heart that this was a test from the Mountain God, and I knew he had no intention of harming me. The calamity was very severe. If it were not handled in this special way, it would surely cause more casualties among the people and the animals and forests deep in the mountains. So, I resolutely followed the Mountain God's instructions, leaped from the specific position, and jumped onto the giant rock. The rock loosened instantly and began to roll and slide, and I was carried along with it into the valley, losing my life beneath the giant stone. In that process, I felt no fear or shock. I knew this was a test from the Mountain God, and throughout the process, I kept chanting that I wanted to save the people of Mount Wutai.

The New Mountain God

After I completed the task, the giant rock did indeed make a sound, which instantly shook my spirit out of my body. Although my spirit had been crushed by the rock and could no longer function normally, it became even more sensitive and transparent, and my agility and speed were faster than when I had a physical body. I quickly ascended to the first heaven, and the Mountain God told me I had passed the test. He said that many deep Dharma affinities awaited me on Mount Wutai, and that he had to step down from his position to continue his own new journey. I would succeed him as the Mountain God of Mount Wutai. That is the story of how I, Lin Du, officially took office as the Mountain God three thousand years ago. After I became the Mountain God, my sensitivity, transparency, and the breadth of my vision were dozens of times greater than before.

I could see the entire mountain range at a glance and see through every patch of vegetation and forest. I could perceive the thoughts of every corner, every cave, and even every flower and tree in the mountain. I knew everything about the mountain—where water was lacking, where rain was needed, where different types of soil were required, where new growth seasons had begun, the rapidly changing climate, the temperature difference between the peak and the foot, and the various activities of the people at the foot of the mountain. Because I knew the details of these forests and the activities of all things, I could effectively cooperate with these natural occurrences, helping them run smoothly in nature without obstacles.

If I encountered things that did not conform to the laws of nature and were harmful to the many beings of Mount Wutai, I would arrange things from within nature to make them impossible or unsuccessful, or I would make people retreat in the face of difficulties. The many spaces within the forests of Mount Wutai belong to spaces with very high spirituality. Since becoming the Mountain God, I have also vaguely sensed that there are very high-level spaces in various areas of Mount Wutai. Although I cannot enter and fully observe these spaces, I ask them questions with my heart, and they always answer me kindly. They are practitioners living in seclusion in the mountains, belonging to a higher level of heaven. Although I cannot see them, they know me and can see me. Through their answers, I learned of their existence and developed great respect for them; I would never disturb them without cause.

If I encountered problems in the mountain that I could not solve, or situations I could not understand, I would humbly ask them for guidance. With their high-level spiritual spaces, they could see a wider and larger range than I could, and they could see further into the past and the more distant future. They themselves also followed natural principles, so what they could tell me, they would speak of within nature; what could not be revealed, they would not say much about. This is the principle of the operation of the universe and nature, which I also understand. I could only try my best to do my job well through the hints they gave me. I tried my best to harmonise the magnetic fields of the mountain forest space and adjust the climate in the mountain, trying to maintain environmental stability so that all things could survive.

The Arrival of the Dharma

Sometimes, it was still inevitable to encounter extreme weather and disasters. As before, I did my best to predict them in advance and inform the spirits, animals, and people at the foot of the mountain. They could not always perceive the messages I sent, but I still held onto a glimmer of hope, doing my best to notify and help them escape or avoid the impending disasters before each event occurred. About a thousand years after I became the Mountain God, monks arrived at Mount Wutai from other places. They were attracted by the serenity and purity of this forest and decided to build a bodhimanda for practice here. I saw that these monks were also very clean and were true practitioners, so I encouraged them to build the bodhimanda here.

After all, as long as it is a bodhimanda of the True Teachings, it helps the local people maintain the stability and peace of the magnetic field. Although I did not have enough concept of the Buddha’s teachings at that time, seeing the magnetic field of these monks, I believed that what they were doing was also toward Goodness and would not be harmful to sentient beings. Because, as long as there is this selfish thought, even before it is executed, the magnetic field within the body will be polluted; this cannot deceive anyone. These two monks were the two very famous monks recorded in the Biographies of Eminent Monks: Master Kasyapa Matanga and Master Dharmaratna. These two masters spread the Dharma on Mount Wutai. The Dafu Lingjiu Temple can be said to be the beginning of the deep Dharma affinity between the entire Mount Wutai, Buddhism, and Manjushri Bodhisattva. Initially, the scale of this temple was not as large as it later became. With the expansions in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this temple became the Xiantong Temple, and its scale continued to expand.

This also made me feel very surprised and full of admiration. I never thought that the Buddha’s teachings could take root and flourish in a place like Mount Wutai. This was something I had never thought of when I became the Mountain God. With the development of various dynasties, it grew all the way. From the Eastern Han to the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, then to the Sui, Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, Mount Wutai continued to operate stably as a well-known centre for the development of Buddhism.

As the Mountain God, I never thought that the Dharma affinity between Mount Wutai and Buddhism would be so deep that as soon as the Buddha’s teachings were introduced, they knew they had to take root in Mount Wutai, and the subsequent continuous development also surprised me. Although China has experienced several periods of destruction of the Buddha’s teachings, Mount Wutai has always stood firm in the trajectory of Buddhist operation. Even after short periods of prohibition, people’s reverence for this mountain remained undiminished. Even during the peak of Buddhist development, Mount Wutai was filled with temples of all sizes, and the number of monastics reached ten thousand. This was indeed an unprecedented grand occasion. I was also very moved; it turned out that the influence and Dharma affinity of Manjushri Bodhisattva were so deep and wide, allowing a large number of devotees, believers, and practitioners to take refuge in the teachings of Manjushri Bodhisattva and practice on the Guanshan Cliff of Mount Wutai.

Seeking Wisdom from Manjushri Bodhisattva

In different dynasties, there was never a shortage of true, genuine practitioners on Mount Wutai. They came to Mount Wutai to manifest, and every time they did, they would leave behind amazing public cases. As the manager and guardian of Mount Wutai, I also came to know Manjushri Bodhisattva through the immersing ourselves in these teachings of the Buddha’s teachings. At first, I didn't know who this person was, nor did I understand what a Bodhisattva actually did; after all, there was no such concept in my era. However, with the transmission of the Buddha’s teachings and the Dharma talks given by many Sages in the temples, I slowly understood that this was truly the vast Buddha’s teachings, and I understood the compassion of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

I listened to the descriptions in the scriptures and indeed saw Manjushri Bodhisattva manifest on Mount Wutai many times. Regardless of the identity or role he took, he was always able to make people have profound realisations, which were then written down and passed on to future generations. This is the true situation I saw. Seeing how people revered and took refuge in Manjushri Bodhisattva, I myself also highly identified with such deeds. So whenever I had questions, I would sincerely press my palms together and ask Manjushri Bodhisattva for advice. Strangely enough, although Manjushri Bodhisattva never appeared before me, nor did he appear anywhere else, he was always able to answer my questions with his heart at the fastest speed. And the moment he finished answering, it was as if I had instantly gained supreme Wisdom, immediately knowing how to execute and implement things within the operation of natural standards and laws, allowing all kinds of difficulties to be resolved smoothly. The more I asked Manjushri Bodhisattva, the more I admired his Wisdom; it was truly amazing. No matter how difficult the problem I encountered, he was always able to cleverly solve very complex and difficult things with the simplest and easiest methods.

Just like when I encountered an impending disaster in the mountain, Manjushri Bodhisattva could always quickly calm my nervous and uneasy heart first, letting me know that I must have meditative concentration, and let me lead the beings in the mountain to resolve the disaster in the mountain by chanting the holy names of the Buddhas. When the spirits in the mountain listened to the teachings of Manjushri Bodhisattva and began to chant the holy names of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and sincerely prayed to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I saw that many of the originally complex and chaotic magnetic fields gradually disappeared. The time when the disaster was supposed to happen also changed, and even the scale and the damage were different from what I had originally predicted and observed. This is the Wisdom of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which made me very impressed. This is not something that a Mountain God like me could do, and I therefore learned that the Buddha’s teachings are truly beneficial to sentient beings, not just a religion that exists only in text and is spread in the form of scriptures. When facing the questions and difficulties of many believers, the Buddha’s teachings can always teach people with insights different from those of the world, telling them to treat people and handle things with an Upright Heart and Right Mind.

The Light of the True Teachings

I saw many devotees of Manjushri Bodhisattva sincerely seeking the Dharma on Mount Wutai, and I saw people moving slowly toward the bodhimanda on the mountain in the form of kneeling. At this time, I also saw the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas emitting towering Buddha-light from their high-level spiritual spaces, as well as the great light of the Bodhisattva. This caused the chaotic and dark magnetic fields of the sentient beings themselves to fade away a lot during the process of kneeling and seeking the Dharma. The mutated and disparate magnetic fields within their bodies also disappeared and calmed down instantly, and their whole bodies became clear and bright. Those seekers who were more sensitive also instantly felt that this was the blessing of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which further deepened their confidence in the Buddha’s teachings. Although this spiritual magnetic field space was not fully understood by the people at that time, with the continuous manifestation and blessing of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, people became more and more convinced of what the Buddhist scriptures said: one must wholeheartedly move toward Goodness, remove one’s own habits of greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wealth, lust, fame, food, and sleep, and use this education of the Buddha’s teachings to practice to the best of one’s ability and help others.

At first, Manjushri Bodhisattva’s bodhimanda did not have a specific method, and every period always had the mainstream methods that were popular at the time. Although the rituals of various temples and sects were different, practicing according to the popular sects of the time was a common situation in many bodhimandas on Mount Wutai. These more popular sects were spread according to the Buddhist scriptures. The more famous ones related to Manjushri Bodhisattva were the Huayan school and the Pure Land school; of course, the Zen school, the Esoteric school, and other sects were also related. This is the concept of Manjushri Bodhisattva embracing all sects and schools, with hundreds of families converging to lead everyone to return to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Initially, I guarded the stable survival of the people in the mountain as the Mountain God. Later, the magnetic field in the mountain improved and was purified a lot with the guarding of Manjushri Bodhisattva and the diligent practice of the practitioners, and my identity changed to guarding the practice of these practitioners. After all, Mount Wutai was indeed a bodhimanda for the practice of the True Teachings at that time. The practice of the True Teachings inevitably has some opposing forces and magnetic fields that interfere with the practitioners; however, I also understand that this is the path that practitioners must take. Practitioners must be able to break through the interference of many demonic obstacles and grey magnetic fields to find their true self and help more sentient beings as great practitioners. This can be considered a test I gave, and it is also an important part of allowing practitioners to break through in their practice. As the Mountain God of Mount Wutai, I am also one of the great Dharma protectors of Mount Wutai.

The Silence of the Modern Era

Whenever there was external interference, if the practitioner’s meditative concentration was not enough to resist external demonic disturbances, I would use my identity as the Mountain God to stop the invasion of the Demon Realm. I myself did not have any special techniques or supernatural powers; I simply guarded the practitioners by chanting the holy names of the Buddhas. Because my jurisdiction was very vast, the sound of me chanting the Buddha’s name could be heard throughout the entire mountain. I covered the entire mountain forest with this sound, allowing the entire mountain forest to be shrouded in the sound of the Buddha’s name, thereby forming a huge barrier to resist external interference. However, I found that some chaotic dark magnetic fields were not from external interference, but emerged from within the practitioners themselves. In such cases, even if I chanted the Buddha’s name as loudly as I could, I could not purify the grey magnetic fields within their bodies. This part had to be broken through by the practitioners themselves to make progress in their practice. At this time, I could only quietly guard these many practitioners, praying that one day they could break through their own obstacles and improve their spirituality.

For three thousand years, Mount Wutai has flourished with the Buddha’s teachings for about two thousand years. However, in modern times, the number of practitioners on Mount Wutai has gradually decreased, and these famous large and small temples on Mount Wutai have gradually become places for people to admire and worship. Although they can still provide spiritual sustenance to people, these temples are only used for admiration and worship, or for tourists from all over the world to visit. The thousand-year-old ancient temples can still vaguely show the environment where ancient great virtuous ones practiced, but the practitioners who are truly practicing in them can be said to be non-existent. The large Buddhist temples and scenic spots have only become a way for local people to make a living and make money. Even though the locals are still enthusiastically explaining and guiding tourists from other places through the temples, and telling stories about the prosperity and flourishing of the Buddha’s teachings and the Manjushri Bodhisattva bodhimanda of Mount Wutai in various dynasties, they can no longer explain the profound and exquisite principles of the Buddha’s teachings in the Buddhist scriptures as the practitioners who practiced deeply in the past could, nor can they speak the true words that can truly improve people’s hearts and help people solve the many sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death. I still guard such a Mount Wutai. Although there is no longer the True Teachings for me to protect, I believe that as long as I continue to hold my post, one day, perhaps the spark of hope for the Buddha’s teachings can be rekindled in this mountain. Perhaps by then, the Buddha’s teachings will enter a new era of prosperity; this is my secret expectation.

A Sign of Hope: The Golden Light

I pray to Manjushri Bodhisattva day after day. Although Manjushri Bodhisattva does not currently reside on Mount Wutai, I can still receive the teachings of Manjushri Bodhisattva, letting me know how to continue when facing many situations. This is also why I still have confidence in Mount Wutai; Manjushri Bodhisattva has not completely abandoned his Mount Wutai bodhimanda. He is also waiting for the operation of Dharma affinity. I believe he knows that Mount Wutai will eventually have a day when the Buddha’s teachings flourish again. And just a few years ago, a group of people came from afar, radiating the light of practitioners. This made my eyes light up; this was the light radiated by practitioners that I had not seen for a long time. Is this a sign of the prosperity of the Buddha’s teachings? I looked carefully at these practitioners who came from afar; they were indeed different. During my tenure, it had been a long time since I had seen practitioners with such a level of practice come here. I thought to myself, it turns out that what Manjushri Bodhisattva hinted to me is true; there is actually a chance to wait for such practitioners to return to Mount Wutai. I looked at these practitioners with my spirituality, and surprisingly, many of them were ancient great virtuous ones who had practiced on Mount Wutai. Although they have now taken on different appearances, the connection to Mount Wutai deep in their spirituality is still very deep. But except for one Practitioner Su, it seems that the other practitioners following Practitioner Su still need to be more diligent and strengthened before they can return to the glory of their practice as ancient great virtuous ones. But I am still very optimistic and look forward to the arrival of this day.

After they arrived briefly and left, I never saw them again. However, shortly after, many bright golden lights began to appear in the sky over Mount Wutai, and this golden light appeared at a fixed time. Later, I understood that this was because of the weekly Thrice Yearning Ceremony. The location of the ceremony was not within China, but in a bodhimanda far away in Australia called the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. I was very surprised that there could be such a bodhimanda of the True Teachings in this era. I heard that it is a bodhimanda where Namo Amituofo is residing. In my past life, I had heard of the name and deeds of Namo Amituofo when listening to Sages give Dharma talks, and I had also often chanted the name of Namo Amituofo among the holy names of the Buddhas I chanted. I didn't expect that he would be residing in a distant bodhimanda in the form of a spirit, which made me very envious. I also hope that one day Mount Wutai can have such great, compassionate Buddhas and Bodhisattvas residing here.

Deliverance to the Western Land

With the golden light sprinkled every week, I saw many spirits in the space disappear into the golden light. I listened intently to the Dharma talks coming from afar, and only then did I understand that these spirits were all taken to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, the place called the Dharma-Nature Land. This is truly magnificent! Since there is such a Buddha’s teaching that can help many spirits, this is also the philosophy I have always operated on Mount Wutai, hoping to be able to help many suffering spirits, help them stabilise their characters, calm their hearts, and be able to be reborn in a good place. And the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia can save spirits, take them out of their original space, and send them into the Dharma-Nature Land, and even send them to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss created by Namo Amituofo. I cannot imagine how extremely pure and beautiful it is there, but I believe it must be a very good world. When the golden light was sprinkled several times, I also wanted to leave my original space and go to the place where the golden light was. However, as the Mountain God, I cannot leave the beings of Mount Wutai alone. I have my duties, and this is also the work assigned to me by the Jade Emperor. I know that my Dharma affinity is not yet sufficient, and I must finish my duties, but I believe that the day I leave the Mountain God position and go to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss will eventually come. After all, spirits flow in the six realms of existence, and there is always a time when they arrive; it is impossible to exist forever in the same space, which is also one of the laws of the operation of the universe and nature.

And just recently, Practitioner Su, with her Dharma Body, once again saved a large number of spirits in the Chinese space. Unlike in the past, this time the density of the golden light, the number of Dharma Bodies, and the Universal Buddha of Namo Amituofo can be said to have penetrated every corner and every deep space in China. Under the illumination of the entire golden light, the spaces of many spirits deep in the space were opened, and they were brought into the Dharma-Nature Land with golden light. And I, in the Mountain God space, was also opened by the Twelve Lights, and even the human world space where I was before I became the Mountain God was opened, which can be said to be completely presented in the golden light. I also took this opportunity to be invited into the Western Land of Dharma Nature. Although I had never thought that I would just put down the work of the Mountain God of Mount Wutai, I also felt very fortunate for such a result. After all, the opportunity for Namo Amituofo to reside in the world can be said to be difficult to encounter in millions of years. And I did have my own attachment to being a Mountain God; if it weren't for the golden light forcibly opening my space, I guess I would still be stuck in the original Mountain God spirit space with this attachment.

A New Beginning in the True Teachings

After being saved to the Dharma-Nature Land, I understood even more that the Western Land of Dharma Nature and the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia are such bodhimandas of the True Teachings. This is really very familiar to me; this is what a bodhimanda should look like when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are residing. Here, many Dragon and Heaven Dharma Protectors surround it, each emitting golden light, and Namo Amituofo is residing here, emitting even more dazzling light. Such light is truly incomparable to that of Practitioner Su and the Bodhisattvas. In the daily Dharma assembly, I watched the entire deliverance process in the clearest way, and only then did I understand more clearly that this is the method of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to save sentient beings, and it is also the Amitabha Pure Land Great Dharma that can only be encountered when Namo Amituofo is residing in the world. Such a Great Dharma is real, a true Buddha’s teaching that can lead countless suffering beings out of space, not a Buddha’s teaching that has already declined and is only in form. Here, there is no need for extra words, only the six-character holy name Namo Amituofo is needed to exert the endless supernatural powers and merits of the Buddha. Originally, sentient beings had to suffer retribution and repay their sins in many suffering spaces, but under the resolution of the supernatural power and merits of the Buddha’s name, they were able to escape and come to the Western Land of Dharma Nature, avoiding suffering in the space. Such True Teachings and Great Dharma are truly unheard of and amazing to me. At this time, I also asked Manjushri Bodhisattva with my heart whether leaving Mount Wutai was the right decision. I received the message from Manjushri Bodhisattva: Smile without a word. It seems that this is a very magnificent decision, so I felt relieved to settle down in this new bodhimanda of the True Teachings. Here, the Buddha’s name is played twenty-four hours a day, and Practitioner Su and Namo Amituofo are explaining the profound principles of the Buddha’s teachings at any time. Some I have already understood, and some I have not heard before; the profundity of this principle also makes me feel very emotional. I understand that I must relearn how to follow Namo Amituofo to save the world. At this time, I am no longer limited to this one mountain of Mount Wutai, but should look at the wider and boundless suffering beings. They are all objects to be saved, and they are also sentient beings who have Dharma affinity with Namo Amituofo. Currently, Practitioner Su is doing her best to save all of China, and I also want to do my best to help the boundless suffering sentient beings in China escape their original spaces and let go of their original attachments. Thank you, Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, for giving me this opportunity to come into contact with the True Teachings again. Although I did not wait for the True Teachings to flourish again on Mount Wutai, I believe that as long as the Namo Amituofo salvation team can continue to save the boundless suffering spirits in China, one day, the light of the True Teachings will surely shine on this land of China again, and Mount Wutai will be one of them. Gratitude to Namo Amituofo, gratitude to Practitioner Su.

Namo Amituofo.
