The Infinite Radiance of the True Nature
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
From the 2019 World Disaster Relief Dharma Assembly
My child, do you truly understand how brilliant the light of your true nature is? It is a radiance that transcends the physical world, a brilliance that illuminates the very depths of your being.
The Radiance of Your True Nature
When you walk the path of the , this light becomes a beacon. It is not merely a metaphor; it is a profound reality. In the infinite realms of the universe, countless sentient beings can perceive this light. When they see it, they know with absolute certainty: "This person is truly a practitioner of the Way." It is the mark of one who has dedicated their life to the purification of , mind, and spirit.
The Transparency of the Soul
My child, you must realise that the entire universe is watching. There is nowhere to hide. From the innermost depths of your heart to the outer reaches of your physical form, every thought, every desire, and every intention is laid bare. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. When you understand this, you will see why the quality of your thoughts matters so deeply.
Cultivating True Strength
You must ask yourself: what is true practice, and what is the right path? True strength does not come from your own cleverness, your own ego, or your own limited . Instead, it comes from aligning yourself with the True Teachings. You must work diligently to transform your habits, letting go of -centred mind that keeps you trapped in the cycle of rebirth.
Returning to the Infinite
When you reach the state of , your true nature will have emitted massive golden light that shakes the earth. In this state, there is no world, no space, and no boundaries. It is a realm where your true nature wanders freely, bathed in light that is truly infinite. This is the home you have forgotten, and it is my deepest hope that you will find your way back to it.
Namo Amituofo.
