The Path of Unwavering Practice: A Dialogue with Namo Amituofo
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
Recorded on 18 September 2017
On the eighteenth of September, 2017, the disciple Shi Faxin respectfully invited Namo Amituofo to provide compassionate teachings.
The Steadfast Path of the Heart
Among the vast masses of people, how many can truly walk the path of practice? Spiritual practice is a solid, real road. You must take every step firmly and with sincerity. When you take a step, you are essentially stepping into your own true self. How many people truly understand this distinction? When you encounter slander, interference, or distractions, remaining unmoved is the only way to engage in true practice.
The Crucible of Letting Go
These challenges are, in reality, tests of your practice. You must ask yourself: how much of your ego have you truly let go? I send these words to you every single day, hoping that those with karmic affinity will awaken to the truth. When you understand the meaning within these words, you will realise that different spaces exist. Layer upon layer, the within your eyes stacks up the conditions of your environment.
The Echoes of Past Lives
The people you see in your environment—the 'you, me, and them'—are truly remnants of your past. Your destiny does not change simply because your physical body changes. Who can truly understand the suffering of all beings? The suffering in this space never ceases. The imprints in your heart from the past are no different from the present. Consider how many lifetimes you have lived and how much you have accumulated. How can you repay this debt? There is only one way: to follow the Buddha and practise diligently.
The of Unburdened Acceptance
Do not complain of suffering in your practice. This is not the suffering of suffering; it is the path to liberation. Your goal is singular: to follow the assembly to the of Ultimate Bliss. You must accept what your body experiences in this life with joy. Whether you perceive your experiences as suffering or happiness, in reality, there is no 'receiving' at all. 'Receiving' is merely a feature of this Saha world, a place where you grasp tightly to illusions.
The Final Return to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss
With every step you take, you must let go of your self. With every step, you tread upon the lotus. You are simply waiting for the day you return home. When the flower blooms, you will see the Buddha. You will know that all things are empty, and you will finally return to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Namo Amituofo.
Recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxin.
