The Illumination of Buddha's Light

The Source of Inner Radiance

During the third session of the Thrice Yearning Ceremony, we contemplate the nature of light. You may ask, where does the light of the heart originate? It arises from the perfect union of compassion and wisdom, manifesting as pure, undefiled, and absolute Goodness. Similarly, where does the Buddha's light originate? It flows from the state of complete selflessness and the realisation of no-self. When one becomes an awakened being, one gains the profound capacity to save infinite suffering beings from the cycle of rebirth.

Transcending All Boundaries

The Buddha's light is not limited by the constraints of our physical world. It transcends the dimensions of time and space, piercing through the physical body and the spirit alike. Within your heart, there is an inherent radiance that has always existed. However, this light is often obscured by layers of delusion and attachment. When this light is absent, darkness takes hold within the mind, and from this darkness, all manner of evil and suffering arise. It is this lack of inner light that keeps us trapped in the cycle of samsara.

The Healing Power of Illumination

When the Buddha's light shines upon your body and spirit, it acts as a transformative force. It allows you to leave behind the sorrows of the heart and the heavy burdens of karmic debt. It heals the deep wounds of the mind and the ailments of the body. Once you perceive this light, your heart becomes clear and bright once more. By embracing these teachings, you can return to your true nature and find the peace you have long sought. Namo Amituofo.
