The Peril of the Six Realms

When you find yourself trapped in a dangerous situation, your ability to escape depends entirely on your state of mind and your level of spiritual attainment. Some individuals possess the strength to save themselves and successfully escape the peril. Others have the capacity not only to rescue themselves but also to extend a helping hand to those around them. However, there are many who find themselves unable to save themselves, let alone others. These beings are in dire need of a noble person to intervene, to offer guidance, and to help them navigate their way out of the danger.

What is this danger we speak of? It is the cycle of the six realms of existence. This cycle is a perilous trap that keeps beings bound to suffering, life after life, without a clear path to liberation. To be able to save oneself from this cycle, one must be willing to change their personality traits and habits. It requires a practitioner who truly believes in the Buddha’s teachings and puts them into practice with unwavering dedication.

The Power of

Those who have the ability to save themselves and others—those who possess the Wisdom and the capacity to ensure they never fall back into such dangerous states—are the ones who have realised their true nature. They are the awakened beings. At this very moment, you must ask yourself: do you wish to be someone who only seeks to save themselves? Or do you aspire to become an awakened being who can save both yourself and others? Or will you remain the one who waits for someone else to come and save you, risking the possibility of being trapped in the cycle of rebirth indefinitely?

Regardless of your current path, you must remember that Namo Amituofo is the eternal noble person for all beings. His is the light that guides us through the darkest of times.

The Mission of the Hsiang Kuang Salvation Team

The Hsiang Kuang salvation team, following the guidance of Namo Amituofo and under the leadership of Practitioner Su, is not merely a group of individuals. It is a powerful force dedicated to saving the world and all beings. We hope that all disciples will strive to become awakened beings who can save themselves and others. This work must be carried out with a spirit of active, compassionate engagement, ensuring that all beings are saved with absolute equality.

This active engagement is made possible because Practitioner Su uses his to save beings, working tirelessly day and night without a moment of rest. Starting from the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, this mission opens up space, extending its reach across the Earth, throughout the vastness of the void, and across the entire Milky Way.

A Miracle in the Realm

The equality of this salvation is profound. Wherever this mission reaches, any being who is connected by karmic affinity becomes an object of salvation. There is no discrimination, no selection, and no distinction between high or low. This is truly a miracle within the human world and the Dharma Realm. As disciples participating in this great work, you must cherish this rare opportunity. Practise diligently, learn with an active heart, and strive to realise your true nature as soon as possible.
