Venerable Yongning, a monastic who sought deliverance through the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, currently resides in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This testimony was recorded on April 29, 2018.
Venerable Yongning speaks:
". I am Venerable Yongning. The silence that has long blanketed the heavens and earth has begun to stir once more. The bandwidth of the performed during the is so vast that it is truly beyond human imagination. Bodhisattvas from across the universe have gathered and dispersed throughout the entire void, working tirelessly to assist in the deliverance of immeasurable and boundless sentient beings."
A Spectacle Beyond Human Sight
"Every time the sound of the Buddha-name rises, Practitioner Su raises his hand to turn the wheel, and in an instant, we have all arrived at the location of the Chao Du to begin a grand and solemn ceremony. Such a scene is something that people of the present age, as well as those from ancient times, have rarely had the fortune to witness. It is a sight that defies the limitations of our ordinary perception."
The Unparalleled Skills of Practitioner Su
"Throughout history, eminent monks and virtuous masters have been filled with profound knowledge of the sutras. Their dignified presence and solemn demeanour have always been a source of inspiration, serving as the Sangha Jewel of the Buddha’s teachings. Their high quality of practice has successfully guided countless followers to embrace the Dharma. However, the one thing that was often missing was this specific, powerful ability to perform Chao Du. In this lifetime, the power of Practitioner Su’s Chao Du has been fully and truly realised."
"Practitioner Su was also an eminent and virtuous monk in his past lives. The spiritual power and virtue he accumulated over countless lifetimes are now manifesting before us, being utilised to their absolute fullest potential. He is delivering sentient beings to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. If one were able to see this with their physical eyes, they would surely be moved to tears, overwhelmed by the profound of the process."
A Magnificent Gathering of Bodhisattvas
"This magnificent scene—where immeasurable and boundless Bodhisattvas, who can also be described as eminent monks and virtuous masters of the past, gather in the void to perform Chao Du alongside Practitioner Su—is truly breathtaking. Every single one of them is exerting their full effort and dedication. It is a sight that is genuinely worthy of praise, a display of the most supreme and magnificent Dharma. It is truly an event that deserves for all beings to come together and participate in this grand undertaking!"
"Namo Amituofo."
