The Inconceivable Scenes of Spiritual Deliverance

The scenes of Chao Du conducted during the Thrice Yearning Ceremony at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre are of a magnitude that defies description. Never before has such a sight been witnessed in this world. Through the remarkable adaptability of Practitioner Su, combined with the profound blessings of the Buddha, we frequently witness events that are truly inconceivable. Practitioner Su manifests a mind-capacity that is immeasurable and boundless, demonstrating it to the fullest extent.

The Boundless Compassion of Practitioner Su

This is the manifestation of a compassion that refuses to abandon a single being. Whenever a being enters his field of vision, he strives to deliver them. He does so with the utmost urgency, fearing that any soul might be left behind. Practitioner Su understands deeply that he is perhaps the only one capable of performing this specific method of deliverance. Without this unique approach, these beings would have no opportunity to escape their current plight. They have been trapped for hundreds or even thousands of years, suffering without end. He cannot bear to see them suffer in this way. Even though his own physical body has been subjected to the immense pressure of resolving the karmic conflicts of these beings, he remains fearless, charging forward without hesitation. This is the conduct of a true hero. To study the Buddha's teachings is to cultivate such boldness, for only then can one rediscover one's true self and live out the vitality of that original nature.

A Life Dedicated to the Salvation of All

A true practitioner does not live for themselves; they live for the sake of all beings. Those who have realised their true nature experience a spiritual coolness and freedom that can only be truly understood by those who have walked that path. The physical body of Practitioner Su exists in this world solely for the sake of sentient beings, while his spiritual world—his true self—is infinitely flexible, wise, and autonomous. If the world were blessed with more individuals like Practitioner Su, who have realised their true nature, there would truly be hope for humanity. The venerable ones and lay practitioners currently at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre have been granted a rare opportunity. Under the guidance of Practitioner Su, if even a few can realise their true nature and master his skills—learning to sacrifice the self to save others—it would be a tremendous blessing for all people.

The Transparent Body of the Dharma Body

The compassion and practical actions of Practitioner Su in saving beings are not restricted by time or space. Can you imagine a spiritual Dharma Body that can expand to the height of a towering mountain? Imagine a giant, as tall as a mountain, whose entire body—every cell, every internal organ—is completely transparent. Within this transparent form, one can clearly see the various creatures that have been resolved and delivered over the past thirty years. These include beings from the Milky Way, interstellar planets, and extraterrestrial civilisations. There are sages from the Four Sacred Realms and celestial beings from the heavenly realms. Even more numerous are those from the Three Evil Realms, particularly the spirits of great trees, flowers, and plants from vast mountains. There are various animals, insects, crawling creatures, ants, dust, and soil. There are fish, shrimp, and crabs from the depths of the oceans, and beings dwelling within the clouds of the sky. There are souls from the ghost realm, representing different dynasties, eras, and cultures, as well as many beings from foreign lands. Everything one can imagine or see is contained within the towering, transparent form of Practitioner Su. It is truly a miniature universe.

The Unceasing Work of the Salvation Team

During the ceremony, under the illumination of the Buddha-name of Namo Amituofo and the all-encompassing Buddha-light, the beings within the transparent body of Practitioner Su emerge. They follow the surrounding beings who are also being delivered, rushing together toward the twenty memorial tablets placed in the cardinal directions. The number of beings is truly vast, and the speed at which they rush toward the tablets is relentless, never pausing. The salvation team, including Skanda Bodhisattva and the Four Great Vajras like Venerable Chang Ren, follows Practitioner Su, working with tireless dedication. They remain busy until the time for chanting and circumambulation concludes, at which point everyone quickly regroups. When the next session of chanting and circumambulation begins, they set out once more with the Dharma Body of Practitioner Su, following the same path and process, yet delivering an entirely different group of beings. The number of beings is truly immeasurable and boundless. Such a scene of deliverance and such a mind-capacity are not commonly seen. As Practitioner Su has stated, in the five thousand years of Chinese history, he is the only one who has performed deliverance in this manner. This statement is not an exaggeration in the slightest.

The time during the ceremony passes quickly. The number of beings coming to the temple seeking spiritual deliverance far exceeds the capacity of the physical space. Consequently, the space is layered and filled with countless beings. Even so, Practitioner Su is able to exert an infinite capacity for deliverance, guiding the beings in every moment and space toward the memorial tablets and the light. This often leaves us, the members of the team and the Dharma protectors, in a state of absolute awe.

Through this process of deliverance and purification, a massive number of beings are invited out from within the body of Practitioner Su. It is unimaginable that so many beings still exist. We are all working hard, hoping that we can soon restore the pure Dharma Body of Practitioner Su, so that he may continue to save even more beings. Namo Amituofo.
