The Healing Power of the Buddha's Hand

The Essence of Life and Practice

The ability to command one's life originates from the heart. The ability to move forward on the path of liberation comes from one's diligent practice. To attain clarity is to achieve purity, and to extend one's life is to return to the original nature. Many have once held a great heart of compassion, descending into the dust of this world to fulfil their vows of saving all beings. Through this, the meaning of the sacred scriptures is revealed.

In this life, we have entered the world of dust, born from the womb, only to turn towards the West and return once more to this world. The power of awakening is immense, capable of creating a new truth. We have returned to the original state of suchness, and now we embark upon a new path. By turning towards the True Teachings, we manifest the power of purity. With wisdom and a peaceful heart, we become great healers of the mundane world.

The Burden of Compassion

Practitioner Su has entered the world of dust, having been born into this life just as we all have. Now, he listens to the Dharma, learns the Dharma, verifies the Dharma, and upholds the True Teachings. As the Dharma opens the gates of wisdom, he has turned his hearing towards the truth and has now become one with it. He has transformed his mundane appearance, and his physical form has been rectified. He has achieved the standard of the Western Pure Land. His journey to the West is certain and without doubt.

The power of simplicity lies in the unity of the heart. When the heart is pure, there is nothing left behind. Having passed through a lifetime, his steps are truly solid. For nearly thirty years, every thought has been focused on diligence. He relies solely on Namo Amituofo, never becoming lost or entangled. He trusts in his teacher and relies only on the ultimate truth. His true practice awakens his life, and his correct knowledge sustains it. Because his heart is sincere, there are no obstacles on his path.

The Reality of Karmic Interference

Only by chanting with sincerity can one find the true path. Through deep and genuine investigation, one reaches the ultimate truth. As he moves forward, he knows only the Western Pure Land. With every thought of the true Buddha, the Buddha truly manifests. His entire life is dedicated to saving sentient beings. In his Chao Du, he has no thoughts of self; his heart is vast and boundless. He hopes that sentient beings will not fall into the path of death. Through the inspiration of the ancestral masters, the response is truly manifest.

The healing of the past begins now. There are karmic matters from the past, and sentient beings bring their grievances. The fourfold assembly has yet to change their ways. Practitioner Su takes on the suffering of sentient beings, knowing that within this suffering lies the opportunity for transformation. For those who remain stubborn and refuse to change, Practitioner Su bears the burden on their behalf. However, if the spirits do not awaken and do not know how to repent, there is no truth in them, and they cannot be transformed.

The Call to Awakening

When you are practising, you must listen to the words of the teacher. I tell the great assembly: karmic consequences must be repaid by oneself. While Practitioner Su can take on the suffering of sentient beings and knows how to lead them to the Western Pure Land, he cannot take on their karmic consequences. The fruits of karma must be borne by the individual. If the spirits are not true, there is no standard. One can only heal through the light of the True Teachings; without truth, there is no healing.

Now, the Buddha's hand provides healing and adjustment, and the Buddha's hand leads the assembly. If, in the midst of your practice, you are not upright or true, or if you harbour private thoughts, all these messages remain in your body. During the healing process, the Buddha touches your body and knows all your secrets. Even the subtle matters in your heart are revealed. If your practice is not real and your conduct is not complete, then your understanding of body and mind will be limited accordingly. Every step of your practice must be transformed, truly and without bias. The great assembly should know that truth is truth, and falsehood is falsehood. Do not be distracted by the various dusty affairs of the world.

The Path to Eternal Tranquillity

The Buddha heals the body through the vow of awakening and the middle path of mindfulness. The Buddha wishes to heal those who have a balanced heart. What is right is right; one must be upright, true, and pure. Practitioner Su has attained the wisdom of the Dharma. His path is complete. His Dharma Body is now manifest, and his golden form shines forth. The trials of his practice are known to no one. His true nature is devout, and his faith, vows, and practice are one.

Practitioner Su's legs show the signs of his path in Chao Du. The pain and suffering he endures are like the hearts of the suffering beings. Everything within his legs is not a matter of chance; every point of pain represents the beings he has helped. The fourfold assembly must understand the past events that are stored within the souls of these beings, which interfere with the arrival of the Buddha. You must understand, repent, and awaken. By moving towards the truth, you will become truly real.

The teacher bears the suffering of the assembly, like a father and son. If the son's conduct is not upright and he is on a destructive path, the father will teach and adjust him so that the son may return to his true nature. This is the ultimate truth—to urge one to repent and change. The father and son are connected, and every point of teaching is pure. Only then can one receive the grace of the Dharma and become a person of great talent. Only then can one understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. Only then can one awaken to the great learning. The father adjusts the son to the correct path, and the true nature of the Dharma is revealed.

Now, the Buddha's healing power shines upon the entire body, and only then does one feel awe. The body is filled with spirits from past lives. It is as if they are performing a play, still residing within the body, still present in the space of the past. The changes in your thoughts and practice correspond to the manifestation of your karma. Therefore, the life of the spirit must be fully and correctly trained. Do not let yourself change towards evil, which leads to evil learning. In the sea of karma within the body, only goodness can bring about change. If you wish to resolve this, you must perform Chao Du. The body and mind therapy is the true sutra. The cells contain the patterns of age and disease. If you do not change, you must nurture yourself with the true sutra. The Buddha comes to teach and adjust you; the great assembly should awaken. This is the only path to nurture and adjust your true nature. If you do not follow this, what else is there to learn in this dusty world? Nurture yourself until you are full; uprightness is the path. To be free from illness and decay is the true proclamation of the Dharma. This is the true Dharma; this is the true essence. In this world of goodness, let your thoughts be directed towards the West. Do not be bound by other obstacles. In the world of dust, there is no self. Why cling to the self? There is only the study of purity. The taste of the Dharma is beyond the heart; there is no thought, only freedom. Practitioner Su is present, and Namo Amituofo also enters. The great assembly should move towards the truth and be truly real. The Buddha is here to lead you; you are all welcome to come. Namo Amituofo.
