The Priceless Treasure Within
Words of Namo Amituofo
The Priceless Treasure Within
People in this world are often captivated by rare and precious objects. They view these items as unique treasures, guarding them with great care and cherishing them above all else. However, there is a treasure far more valuable than anything found in the material world—a treasure that is truly beyond price.
You possess a treasure that is identical to that of the Buddha: your own true self. This is a treasure that no one can steal, and no one can find for you. You must look inward to discover it. Through constant purification, and then more purification, you can clear the blockages within your body, mind, and spirit. As you remove these layers of impurity, your natural abilities will gradually emerge.
The Journey of Purification
There will come a moment when the blockages are cleared away entirely. At that time, your whole being will become pure and luminous, free from even the slightest stain of impurity. This is the moment of , when you have successfully reclaimed your true self.
Every being possesses this nature, yet it has been obscured by layers of filth accumulated over countless lifetimes. Because of this, we have been unable to see our true nature. Today, as you engage in your practice, you will find that every practitioner develops and recovers their true self to a different degree. This is a journey of removing impurities to attain purity, a process that requires patience, sincerity, and unwavering faith in the path.
