The Resonance of Universal Chanting

During the held yesterday, Practitioner Su engaged in deep spiritual . This was a vital effort to assist the Earth, which had begun to deviate from its proper orbit, and to guide it back onto the right path. To achieve this, a continuous, twenty-four-hour, uninterrupted campaign of chanting Namo Amituofo was initiated. This effort saturated the entire magnetic field of the Earth with the sacred sound of the Buddha-name. Even the beings dwelling within the clouds above the Earth, as well as the celestial beings standing or wandering upon those clouds, joined in this collective recitation. The sound of everyone chanting was continuous, dense, and unbroken. Each syllable and phrase was clear, powerful, and resonant, shaking the very foundations of the Realm. Several new members also joined the chanting ranks, reciting in unison with the others. At this moment, everyone was contributing their utmost strength, for the Earth is the shared ground where we all study the Buddha's teachings and strive to attain Buddhahood. This matter is of the utmost importance, and therefore, no one dared to be the least bit negligent or careless.

The Radiance of Collective Practice

Within this circle of chanting, waves of golden light radiated outwards. This light was particularly brilliant, emanating from the bodies of Avalokiteshvara , Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, the various ancestral masters, and the Pure Ocean of Bodhisattvas from the of Ultimate Bliss. Furthermore, among the beings of the Western Land who had been delivered there by Practitioner Su, the golden light emitted from their bodies varied in intensity according to their individual progress in practice and their depth of Buddha-recitation. It is truly heartening to observe that the external Bodhisattvas from the cosmos, the Bodhisattvas of the Milky Way, and the new Buddha-disciples within the salvation team have been chanting diligently for some time now. Because of the purification and elevation of their spirits, their bodies have naturally begun to emit a bright and luminous glow.

A Shield of Golden Light

When viewed from the void, the golden light emitted by this chanting assembly formed a distinct, radiant ring of light encircling the Earth. This ring radiated a clear and powerful positive energy. Anyone who saw or heard it could not help but feel a sense of profound reverence arise within their hearts. This is the true power of unity. The energy of this ring of light is so potent that the beings of the Demon Realm—those within the Earth and the universe who carry negative energy and destructive intentions—could not help but feel a sense of awe and fear. They dared not act rashly to cause further destruction to the Earth. This situation has already clearly halted the Earth's deviation from its orbit.

Resolving Collective

The deviation of the Earth, which has led to the mutation of human hearts, is the result of the collective karma of the people of this world. This collective karma was not created in a single day or night; it is the accumulation of long-standing causes. Therefore, it requires an energy far greater than this collective karma to resolve it and to prevent the loss of life and property for the people. Such a mission of saving the world was formed under the wise and resourceful guidance of Practitioner Su. This is one of the essential capabilities that a saviour must possess: the ability to flexibly utilise various skills and resources to resolve disasters and obstacles.

Purification and Deliverance

Currently, within of Practitioner Su, the beings residing in the head and back are being invited out by Skanda Bodhisattva and other Dharma protectors, and this process continues steadily. These beings generally display a friendly attitude, which makes the process of inviting them to leave much smoother. The meditative skills of one who has realised their true nature, combined with the purification of their body and spirit, simultaneously drives the purification of the attached spirits residing within them. This is one of the methods for delivering sentient beings. By the same logic, if the fourfold assembly of disciples can achieve success in their own practice, they can not only elevate the quality of their own spirits but also simultaneously resolve the karmic knots between themselves and their and attached spirits. At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, this is further enhanced by the fact that Practitioner Su can guide these beings to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This situation has successfully resolved many karmic debts. The fourfold assembly must diligently seize this opportunity for body-mind-spirit purification to realise their true nature as soon as possible.
