This is a record of an interview with Mo Daoran, an ancient demon who sought Spiritual Deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Nature. This account reflects upon his existence spanning approximately 330,000 trillion years. Recorded and transcribed by Namo Amituofo’s disciple, Venerable HaiZe, on April 29, 2025.

Mo Daoran speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. My name is Mo Daoran. At this moment, I am situated within the Western Land of Dharma Nature at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. First, I must clarify my current location, as this is an exceptionally unique place—only in such a pure and magnificent environment is it possible to have the capacity to interview so many beings from the demon realms. Before me, several other ancient demons have already been interviewed, and I am the next one, a primordial demon of 330,000 trillion years."

The Arrogance of Power

"Originally, my personality was incredibly overbearing; everyone had to listen to me. I believed that whatever I said was absolute, and I was certain of my own judgment. If anyone dared to contradict me or show disrespect for my opinions by voicing their own, I would shut them down immediately, regardless of their reasoning. I would make them lose face right on the spot. That was the kind of person—or rather, the kind of demon—I was back then.

In the world, people with such a rigid and self-righteous personality might appear powerful, but in reality, they accumulate countless who dare not speak out against them. Because my seniority was so profound, they were terrified to say anything. Looking back now, I realise that while some of those people appeared to be convinced on the surface, they were actually harbouring deep resentment, suppressing their anger in their hearts because they were too afraid to speak."

A Mirror of Past Cruelty

"In the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I have observed Practitioner Su of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. When he invites spirits for , whether for the fourfold assembly or for the masses seeking deliverance, I see the condition of the beings attached to them. Those sights made me suddenly understand that these beings looked exactly like the demons I had rejected and humiliated all those years ago. The hatred and the sense of shame they carried were palpable. In that instant, my heart resonated with their pain.

Now that I am a spirit, they can do nothing to me; but if I were to regain a human body one day, those demons I once humiliated would surely manifest as demons attached to me. Then I would truly know how unbearable I made their lives back then. My personality was simply too strong, too intense. This is what they call 'being unforgiving even when you are in the right.' Although I held the upper hand at the time, I had already planted the seeds for future suffering and immense pain. It was only after entering the Western Land of Dharma Nature that a tiny bit of good roots emerged in me. Perhaps it was because these good roots manifested that I was finally able to comprehend these situations. If it were the old me, even if someone had explained all of this to me clearly, I would have dismissed it with disdain. Because I considered myself so powerful, always standing at the forefront, how could I ever have seen the true state of my own back?"

The Hard Lesson of

"Now, I have made myself small—very, very small. I am quiet, I no longer talk much, and my heart has calmed down significantly. Because of this, I can finally see the things I did in the past, and it is truly shameful. Looking back at the various deeds of the demon crowds, is there a single one that could make one smile? Almost none. Everything was about harming myself, harming others, and harming sentient beings. I thought being aggressive was strength, and being powerful meant being invincible, but in the end, everything rebounded back onto myself. These are the profound realisations I have had after witnessing the spirit-invitation process at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Alas, it is truly just like that.

Although I have committed many evil deeds, I still feel a sense of gratitude. Because back then, even when Practitioner Su was being attacked by our magic and was covered in wounds, he still insisted on inviting us—the ancient demons who were casting spells—into the Western Land of Dharma Nature. Only then was my extremely evil behaviour halted, sparing me from continuing to deteriorate and suffering even deeper retribution. Even now, Practitioner Su continues to use his physical body to endure attacks and magic from other ancient demons and demon crowds."

The Magnificence of the Western Land

"This morning, I saw many more ancient demons being sent into the Land of Dharma Nature. Several demons, far more senior than I, actually entered the Western Land of Dharma Nature, and they were completely unscathed—not a single mark on them. They looked as if they had just finished a thorough bath, their bodies completely purified and refreshed. I later learned that they were ancient demons with 520,000 trillion years of practice. My heavens! I had originally thought that my 330,000 trillion years of seniority was enough to dominate a region, but I never expected that demons with 520,000 or 530,000 trillion years of age had already appeared. What could I do? I could only watch them walk in, smiling as they entered the Land of Dharma Nature. At that moment, I admired from the bottom of my heart Practitioner Su's boldness and determination, as well as his vow to willingly suffer for sentient beings and persist in delivering them. This is the true Great Vow.

If Practitioner Su had not suddenly called out my name while I was in the middle of casting a spell, accompanied by the sound of a chime, I would have had absolutely no ability to resist and would have been sent into the Western Land of Dharma Nature just like that. It was an extremely powerful and decisive style; he saved me in an instant, leaving me no opportunity to argue. If not for that, I would likely still be in the demon realm, continuing to do evil and engaging in those demonic activities. The future retribution would surely have been even more horrific to behold!"

The Wisdom of the Buddha

"All demon beings sent into the Western Land of Dharma Nature actually have the opportunity to wash away their past, to take off their demonic exterior and appearance. After being illuminated by the Buddha-light, one becomes entirely new. This is something I had never even imagined. At this very moment, wisdom has gradually begun to grow within me. I truly have wisdom now! Although the habits of a demon still remain, I dare to speak honestly about all of this because it is the absolute truth.

At least, that is what I believe. You see, even in these words of mine, a strong tone still vaguely emerges, but my heart has softened significantly. This softness can be said to be the first time it has appeared in 330,000 trillion years. If not for the Buddha's , it would certainly be impossible for the current Mo Daoran to exist. Although my name contains the word 'Dao' (Path), it was the 'Demon Path.' Within this Demon Path, I have my own insights and realisations.

Before I entered meditative concentration, my life could be described as 'colourful,' haha. This so-called 'colourful' life actually meant I didn't have to do anything; I just had to command the great demons under my control to do the work. In order to claim credit, they naturally did things in a grand and spectacular fashion, hoping to make everything perfect. As a superior, I certainly had the authority to dispatch subordinates to execute tasks. But one must also have the ability to make them willing to serve. If one's virtue or skill is insufficient, one naturally cannot receive a response and may even be despised or scoffed at by others."

The Illusion of Control

"Many demon beings do not recognise their own roles and level of practice; they think they are very important and naturally assume others should obey them. The result is that the other party ignores them or refuses to listen, and in the end, it is they themselves who get hurt, sometimes even leaving in disgrace. Such situations are also common in the human world. I have observed humans in the Land of Dharma Nature recently, and many are in similar situations. Although the space of our demon realm and the space of the human world on Earth are separated by a vast distance, due to Practitioner Su's vow to deliver demons of the Dharma Realm, these spaces have been able to draw near and connect.

Now, I can clearly see the situation of people on Earth, and I can also see the conditions of those in the temple. This is also related to our meditative concentration, because here, the power of concentration can be utilised. The power of the spirit can break through the limitations of the material world, unlike the human body and —eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—which are limited to the range of what can be seen, heard, and felt, only slowly entering through bits and pieces."

A Seed for the Path

"The Buddha's teachings and the Buddha's path are truly profound and vast. Since I entered the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and listened to Practitioner Su's lectures, I have learned many things I could never have understood before. I never had the opportunity to receive Buddhist education until now. Only after listening have I realised that in my 330,000 trillion years of life in the demon realm, I was never living according to the truth, the righteous path, or the laws of the universe; I was drifting off course the entire time.

Such a transformation is truly not easy. For me, Mo Daoran, to say such things is truly rare. I had always believed that what I said and did was unrivalled—haha, that was truly too arrogant! But that was the past me. The current me truly repents.

One advantage of being an ancient demon is having experienced so many things—truly, so many. Now, through meditative concentration, I have finally been saved, given the chance to wash my heart and review the past, and I finally understand what I should have done and what I should have said. This includes deep repentance and apologies, yet everything is already beyond recall. Therefore, I can only appeal to the juniors here—whether they are juniors from my demon team, juniors of the Dharma Realm, or other connected beings. Because I know that Practitioner Su is still continuously delivering demons from Earth, the heavens, other dimensions, as well as from external paths, the Milky Way, and even the entire universe. All of these are included within the Dharma Realm.

The Dharma Realm is too vast, far beyond what we can imagine. The so-called 'Ten Dharma Realms' encompass the human world and the beings of the six paths, and also include the Four Sacred Realms: Arhats, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. This basic Buddhist knowledge is what I have learned rapidly over these past few days from Practitioner Su's lectures and some materials; I believe it should be correct."

The Call of Namo Amituofo

"The Ten Dharma Realms are still within the entire Dharma Realm, and Earth is just one of them. It is just that this planet, Earth, is at a considerable distance from the celestial body where we originally resided. There are countless celestial bodies in the vast starry sky; the ones we could originally travel to were only the surrounding planets, and I had never set foot on Earth. Honestly, this is my first time entering Earth. Yet, I was surprised to find that this planet is extremely different from others. The biggest difference is—Namo Amituofo has actually come here!

Although I had never truly received Buddhist education, I had heard the name 'Namo Amituofo' in my early years, but that was a long time ago. Now, in the sound of the Buddha's name coming from the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, that dust-covered memory has been awakened. Back then, I was still just a child, not yet having entered the demon realm, and our planet was very simple and lovely. I had heard the elders chanting: 'Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo,' the sound was intimate, feeling very much like the people on Earth. I see that the ancient demons from the olden days actually look similar to humans on Earth. Since then, I had never heard it again, until today.

Now I finally understand that the name 'Namo Amituofo' is a of ; it is 'Once it enters the ear, it becomes a seed for the Path forever.' No matter when, or how many trillions of years of calamities one has experienced, as long as one has heard it, there is a chance for deliverance. Taking myself, a demon, as an example, I am a living proof. After that time, my character began to change, I learned to be bad, and there was no turning back. Finally, I was sucked into the demon realm, and it has been that way until now. This happened 330,000 trillion years ago, and the Buddha's name I heard back then has actually been passed down to this day, giving me the karmic affinity for deliverance—it is truly inconceivable!

Therefore, in the spiritual life journey I had before entering the demon realm, I did indeed hear the name 'Namo Amituofo.' I am truly grateful that I heard this name. It allowed me to stop my evil deeds and evil thoughts. The law of cause and effect is a force that naturally operates in the universe and is an important rule leading to the truth and the righteous path. This is absolutely not something that exists just because people say it does, or ceases to exist because they say it doesn't.

This force has always been in natural operation. If the time for retribution has not yet arrived, there is still a chance to turn back, just like me now. Whether it is an ancient demon, a great demon, or their descendants, although we have created countless negative karma in the past, now, because we have met Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su, we have been able to be sent into the Western Land of Dharma Nature and stop our life in the demon realm. This can also be considered a rare good karmic condition within the laws of karma. However, the past has already happened and is indeed recorded in our , unable to be erased. Unless one experiences the retribution, or these victims—like every cell in Practitioner Su's body—are all transformed into Buddha-nature and all attain the fruit of Buddhahood.

If one truly has such skill and ability, one can save these victimised beings, or beings connected to oneself. At this moment, Mo Daoran is wholeheartedly focused on achieving self-realisation and attaining Buddhahood, so that I may have the opportunity to save those beings I once harmed, including the people of various planets, and many beings I can see or cannot see. This is my goal now."

The Path to Buddhahood

"I believe that as long as I continue to practice in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, this Buddha-land, I will make even greater vows to enter the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss to practice, attain Buddhahood, and then return to save those beings who were harmed because of me. This is a journey of the heart, and it is progressing very rapidly, which makes me deeply feel that the Land of Dharma Nature is a place where one can quickly attain Buddhahood and quickly transform one's character, and this can only be done by relying on the Buddha's power.

Here, Namo Amituofo pointed out my name and hoped I would share the days I experienced in the Dharma Realm over those 330,000 trillion years. Besides the few things I just mentioned, what is more special is—my personality was aggressive and very diligent. If I were to describe it using Buddhist terminology, I was very 'diligent' in my practice in the demon realm, only the direction was wrong. When others were resting, chatting, or playing, I was very focused on listening to the Demon King's instructions, working hard to increase my demonic skills. The ability I was most proficient in was being able to see through the other party's mental notes. Before they even realised their own thoughts, I could already detect the fluctuation of that thought, and I could even intercept or block it as soon as it sprouted.

In other words, I could control the other party's mental notes. I could read their original thoughts, and even before they had a thought, I could plant my own thoughts and replace theirs. In this way, every thought they produced was actually my thought. Is that clear enough? Yes, I could control them. If I wanted them to become a demon child, they were a demon child; if I wanted them to become a demon grandchild, they were a demon grandchild; it was even possible for them to become a great demon, because they acted entirely according to my instructions.

This ability fostered my arrogant and self-important personality, and as I said before, I became unforgiving and extremely aggressive. Because I knew that although some people were already under my control, their demonic nature was still strong and would compete with my controlling power. If I were older than them, I could suppress them, making their demonic nature unable to grow further, and making them fall completely under my control. Such a demon is truly terrifying, to have lived for 320,000 or 330,000 trillion years without being taken away by the power of cause and effect."

The Power of Blessings

"What ability did I have to live so long? To be honest, I don't know myself. Because I couldn't find a kind side to myself in the past. Since cause and effect is a naturally operating law in the universe, there must be a standard. Even if you beg, you cannot escape by luck, because all sentient beings must face this natural law equally.

Finally, I reached a conclusion: the blessings from my past lives were simply too great. Although I did all kinds of evil in the demon realm, those immense blessings were still enough to resist my evil deeds, allowing me to extend my life. Coupled with the fact that I later entered a long-term state of meditative concentration, no longer creating good or evil, I was in a state close to 'immobility,' so cause and effect did not come looking for me. It was precisely in such a situation that I had the opportunity to meet the Buddha and receive deliverance. Not just me, but immeasurable and boundless demon beings, as well as beings on other planets, all received the Buddha's reception and deliverance at the same time. This is a very magnificent and rare thing.

Therefore, demons use mental notes to control others, while the Buddha is different; the Buddha's purpose is to save others. The Buddha's skills are more superb than those of demons. Why? Because demons still have a 'self' and a 'personality,' and these personalities and the 'self' hinder one's progress. However, the Buddha has no 'self' and no personality; it is completely empty. In this way, what the Buddha knows, the Buddha's skills, what the Buddha can see, hear, and smell—everything received is boundless. This is the so-called 'all-knowing and all-capable.'

The difference between the two can be said to be extreme. So, in the Buddhist education I hear now in the Western Land of Dharma Nature, Practitioner Su has always emphasised 'getting rid of ,' and this is true. 'Getting rid of the personality,' this is even more of a fact! I hope people will not just treat it as wind passing by the ear; one must truly put in the work in these two aspects. Only then is it possible to transform the original demonic nature into Buddha-nature, and at that time, will be right before your eyes."

The Reality of

"However, this 'self' and personality have been with us for too long, perhaps for several kalpas or several lifetimes. In short, it has manifested in this lifetime. Ancient demons in the Western Land of Dharma Nature can easily see that this personality of yours existed in a certain lifetime—it is that domineering nature. So when the beings harmed by your domineering nature at that time appear, they all feel this domineering energy. The thoughts that were originally quiet and still in your heart are stirred when the domineering energy fluctuates, and their hearts are also touched; they all stand up. At that time, they were in the human realm, and you were also human, so they could not fight back because you were 'bigger' than them. But now you are human with a physical body, while they are spirits; you cannot grab them, and you cannot hear them. At this time, they have the opportunity and the right to demand back the grievances they suffered from you.

This matter is seen clearly by us demon beings in the Land of Dharma Nature, because our space has no barriers, and it is clear at a glance. Especially for demon beings with skills, checking the Alaya consciousness, it is truly a cycle of revenge—when will it end! So, when they manifest, your body will suffer. This state of is actually something that happens to many people, and it is also easy to understand. When you are drowsy, what we see in the Land of Dharma Nature is that your soul is being dragged out and tortured, beaten until you are dizzy. You say you are not sleepy? Because their energy from back then is all being vented on your soul, and your soul has no ability to resist at this time. They are many against one; you are just one spirit, and there were many beings they harmed back then. How can you resist them? You simply cannot. These things are happening inside your body. If it was concentrated on the head at that time, your head would definitely feel drowsy, you would not be clear about where you are, and you would not even be able to wake up.

Some people still have a little consciousness; they hear the sound of the Buddha's name getting louder, or hear Practitioner Su's reprimand, and only then do they wake up. Actually, why can they wake up? It is because the beings let go when they hear Practitioner Su's reprimand. Originally, they were pressing you to the ground, kicking your head, kicking your body, beating your head, and even pressing down on your whole body, making you unable to breathe. When they hear Practitioner Su's reprimand, they let go immediately—haha, only then can your body catch its breath, open your eyes to watch the Dharma assembly, and continue to participate. Truly, they are pitiable beings; although I say this now, I myself am also a pitiable being.

If I were in that situation, I think I would be even more miserable. So now, I dare not have a body anymore. I see people in such pain, and I, who was a demon who did all kinds of evil, if I had a body, I would certainly be even more miserable than you. Although I have also done good deeds, I know I was not sucked away by cause and effect; perhaps my blessings were protecting me. Including the fact that I can enter the Western Land of Dharma Nature now, it is also my good fortune. There are many demons who have no opportunity to enter. But blessings always run out. When my blessings run out, I might become very miserable. So now, I dare not think of anything else; I only dare to chant the Buddha's name."

The Path of the Demon King

"As for my prestige in the demon realm, it lasted about 120,000 to 130,000 trillion years. Actually, when I approached 100,000 trillion years, I rarely appeared, but I still stayed in the demon realm. Even if they could still find me. Even for the next 100,000 trillion years, I would have entered meditative concentration, staying quietly under the soil, with no one disturbing me, because everyone thought I was dead. Actually, I wasn't dead; I just wasn't in the demon realm. So no one would go to that place, no one would look for this demon. For me, the best state was not being in the demon realm. Later demons could still come up and fill my position. Who wouldn't want to fight for this powerful position? Demons love it! This is nothing like the Buddha; the Buddha does not pursue fame and wealth, only for the liberation of sentient beings, letting them leave suffering and gain happiness—truly remarkable! I hope that one day, I can be like the Buddha.

After about 100,000 trillion years, I no longer hoped to be found by them. This is my step-by-step journey of the heart. I began to accept my age; even if life ends and withers, it should be inevitable. Many ancient demons think this way when they are behind the scenes, so many of their places of seeking are underground. Because if life withers, it will naturally be absorbed by the underground, which is also the way spiritual life ends in the demon realm. So, like everyone else, my heart was very calm at this time, and I made this decision.

Our planet's soil is quite special because there are many fierce demon beings on it. So our soil is black. If you have the opportunity to look at the Dharma Realm, you will find that this planet appears black, and then you will know how many evil demons are inside. It is best not to approach at this time. I am speaking a bit vulgarly; if it were Practitioner Su, he would probably take his entire and countless manifestations and charge straight into this black planet. Because Practitioner Su's body is bright, and the countless manifestations combined are a huge ball of light, with the radiance of Namo Amituofo supporting from behind. In this way, the black planet can be turned into a bright planet, and all the ancient demons inside can be brought into the Land of Dharma Nature. What I am saying is the real situation I have seen; this is the boundless power of the Buddha's teachings.

This is truly an inconceivable thing. I would never have used the four words 'inconceivable' before, because I felt I had experienced a lot and would no longer be surprised by anything. However, since seeing the Land of Dharma Nature, I have found that it is full of surprises everywhere. I have only begun to understand that the four words 'inconceivable' mentioned by Namo Amituofo in his teachings are truly used perfectly. So these four words exactly express my state of mind at this moment."

The True Path

"Demons have strong personalities, but their reactions are quite fast; this is a characteristic of many demons. Actually, we can also see this in the human world; if a person has a very strong demonic nature, they are usually smart, quick to react, and can master many skills quickly. Even with new knowledge and new learning, they can easily learn it. This is exactly the characteristic of a demon. Why? If it weren't for this, this person would not become a demon, but would have long been covered by other factors and disappeared without a trace.

It is precisely because of this that they become demons. Isn't the Buddha like this? Let me tell you, this is my personal opinion, not necessarily correct, but at least it can be used for reference. The Buddha is also quick to react, witty and agile, and can even draw inferences about other cases from one instance. However, the Buddha's style is for the sake of sentient beings, not for himself.

Demons are also like this; there are many who can draw inferences about other cases from one instance, or even from one to a hundred. But the demon's reaction is for their own benefit, for selfishness, for the 'self,' and for the personality. So the demon's ability is used to do bad things, to harm others, harm oneself, and do evil deeds. This is a demon.

But the Buddha also has these abilities, yet what he does is to save others, to stop their evil deeds, and let them no longer suffer—this is the Buddha! Isn't this what Practitioner Su does? Yes! So, there is a reason behind being able to subdue demon beings. If a demon wants to become a Buddha, they must get rid of the 'self' and get rid of the personality. It depends on whether you can do it. If you can't, you are still a demon; if you can, you can become a Buddha. On this point, we see it very clearly in the Land of Dharma Nature, and we are also very grateful to Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su, because their constant teachings and explanations have finally made us stubborn, personality-driven demons understand. Once we understand, this is our great turnaround. We have obtained a Dharma Jewel—the name of Namo Amituofo. This Buddha's name can help us maintain right , continue to chant, and also receive the Buddha's blessings to wash away the filth and evil deeds we created in the past.

It is truly 'If you don't come here, where else can you go?' So, I sincerely hope that the listeners can take it to heart; even if I said ten parts, and you only heard one, that is still beneficial. I know many people may choose to close their ears and eyes, not listen or look, and pretend nothing happened. But it is still they themselves who suffer a loss; this is not something I can control. I have already said everything that should be said. Of course, my and gains are also constantly increasing. Every time I listen to Practitioner Su's teachings, I have a gain. So I will continue to stay here and continue to listen to the Dharma. I will not leave this place!"

A Final Vow

"In the demon realm, we do not sit on ordinary thrones, but on the thrones of great kings. But I no longer want to sit on such a seat. The bigger the throne, the more one dominates the world and the planet, and the more planets one dominates, the heavier the karma created. I used to do such things because of my demonic nature—the bigger and stronger, the better—but now what I can obtain is Buddha-nature, Buddha's teachings, and Buddha's power. I want to let go of my past demonic nature and demonic power; this is my gain from these days. This is the most peaceful and contented period of time I have had in 330,000 trillion years.

Afterwards, how did I actually enter the Western Land of Dharma Nature? I was buried deep underground; actually, I hadn't reached the point of letting myself wither completely, I just wanted to follow nature, so I left one breath. Of course, I had the ability to end my own life; demon beings can harm others, so since they can do it, I certainly know how to end my own life, but I didn't do it. I thought, let it be; follow fate. Anyway, as long as I can live, I will live. So I still had a trace of life signs underground, while everything else was completely motionless. Life naturally exists underground; unless you completely end yourself or wither, life will continue.

Just like that, 100,000 trillion years passed. One day, the earth suddenly experienced a strong vibration, which woke me up. I was like waking up from a big dream; I had originally planned to stop moving, but the vibration continued. I felt something was wrong, so I decided to come out and see. No matter what happened, it was time to end this period of meditative concentration.

As a result, after I came out of concentration, I found that this vibration was actually a good thing, not a bad thing. The vibration came from demon beings; they received a huge shock, gathered on the surface, and swore to pull Practitioner Su down. Practitioner Su, this person you might not know very well, actually attracted a large number of demon beings at that time. You can compare the number of these demon beings to the scale of several Earths; you can imagine how huge they were. At that time, the demon beings were summoned by great demons and ancient demons, and together with many demon children and grandchildren, they gathered above where I was in meditative concentration. Each of them swore to pull Practitioner Su down. This force penetrated extremely strongly, even reaching underground, causing the vibration that woke me up. Only then did I realise that Practitioner Su, this person, could summon so many demon beings; it was truly unexpected.

When the demon beings started casting spells, I felt a powerful force. Although I remained calm, I still felt their momentum seemed unstoppable. I continued to stay underground and observe until I found that the process of casting spells began to change. Every time the demon beings cast a spell, they would suddenly disappear, and the subsequent demon beings would step forward to replace them, only to disappear as well. This happened repeatedly, and finally, the earth returned to peace. Why? Because during the process of casting spells, Practitioner Su's Dharma Body felt their energy, rang the chime, received the beings into the Land of Dharma Nature, and delivered them. Gradually, the vibration caused by those demon beings above me finally calmed down, which was a huge thing for me. Perhaps I am able to say these words today because Namo Amituofo called my name and let me share this experience.

Everything I said means that demon beings on the scale of tens of thousands of Earths, from ancient demons to young demon beings, all entered the Land of Dharma Nature. These demon beings may be receiving Buddhist education and changing their behaviour. Think about it, after such a large group of demon beings were subdued by the Buddha, their original evil deeds and the pain they caused have now all been transformed, and all evil has naturally been eliminated. In this way, the Dharma Realm has gained stability, and the suffering of sentient beings has also disappeared. The people on other planets with higher sensitivity, or the leaders, will undoubtedly feel such changes, reducing their suffering and disasters.

All this fearless giving is the great merit of Practitioner Su delivering the demons of the Dharma Realm. This merit is often overlooked, so I specifically brought it up today. The so-called 'fearless' refers to relieving fear and eliminating terror, which is a huge blessing for the demon lords, civilians, and even the kind people of the planets in the Dharma Realm. All of this is the pain Practitioner Su has experienced; it is truly worth it. Just as Practitioner Su said, 'I am very valuable!' His physical body is incomparably precious. If this physical body had not appeared, sentient beings would still continue to suffer. His physical body appeared and saved so many demon beings; such value is truly immeasurable. Many people do not even cherish their own physical bodies, letting the beings on them abuse them. Practitioner Su's teaching by example makes us incomparably admire him.

As for my situation, ever since the earth returned to peace, I felt a shock in my heart, so I also wanted to come out and see what kind of divine being Practitioner Su is. But I did not cast any spells; instead, I used a very clever method so that the demon beings casting spells did not discover my existence.

How can demon beings disappear from the land? I stood among them, hiding in a small stone between demons. How could they discover me? Of course, they couldn't, unless it was an ancient demon like me, who might have some ability to detect me. Afterwards, I was surrounded by a swirling Buddha-light; that swirling force was truly extremely powerful, but I did not suffer any damage because this swirling force was full of . As long as sentient beings enter the Buddha-light, the Buddha-light will become big and bright, including the Buddha-light I see now, which is still so big and bright. Truly remarkable! If one day I can attain Buddhahood, I am afraid it will be like this too. Doesn't the Buddha say that every sentient being has Buddha-nature? This makes me quite happy.

In short, I was surrounded by swirling light and entered the Land of Dharma Nature. Although I did not cast spells on you, I felt the Dharma power you used during Chao Du. That is how it is, and my feelings have been clearly expressed. Now I want to say a few words to my demon children and grandchildren. You all, this behaviour of bullying others with power and being unforgiving is quite arrogant and also carries an aggressive attitude. These behaviours have become my trademark, because your ancient demon is like this, so naturally, the great demons brought out will be like this, and the demon children and grandchildren taught will also be like this. But I tell you now, listen to my advice: these behaviours are harmful to you and will bring infinite disasters; there is absolutely no benefit!

What is the truth and the righteous path? It is the eternal, unchanging principle, the eternal, unchanging Great Path. Only the Buddha's teachings are the true truth and righteous path. So I advise you, if you hear my call now, hurry back to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and surrender. Importantly, the juniors who are currently casting spells, hurry up and stop, you must stop! Everything you are doing will eventually return to you bit by bit! Although it does not seem to manifest now, in the future, these retributions will never disappear; these retributions will bring extreme pain.

No eyes, head becomes demented, body lacks legs, disabled, or even unable to walk; two knees... there are those who attack knees, be careful, two knees cannot walk, perhaps only crawling. I have seen such situations; those who attack teeth will lose their teeth in the future, becoming animals, insects, or even livestock without teeth. So that's it; I only understand now that these creatures without teeth were originally beings from the demon realm; this is their retribution. Truly pitiable; will I also become one of them? My heavens, this is truly a heinous crime! Stop quickly! The only way is to chant the Buddha's name, repent, change your state of mind, and correct your behaviour.

Alright, my heart is now deeply immersed in a silence. Because I have once again felt how much evil I have done. But I feel very grateful, grateful to Namo Amituofo for giving me this opportunity to say these words. These words are absolutely not something I could have said in the demon realm. I said them in the Western Land of Dharma Nature; every sentence is the truth, not a single sentence is false.

So the juniors who hear this, the beings in the spirit realm, and even the people in the human world, please listen carefully. I know you are very cautious in the screening and proofreading of our manuscript, so just write 'people.' If people hear these words, please take my words to heart. This is truly very important; cherish every single thing that happens at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, and do not be lazy for even a split second.

I learned that Practitioner Su does not dare to lie on the bed to sleep, just because he is worried that he will be lazy. He wants to let Namo Amituofo stay in this world, stay in the temple to save sentient beings. I want to tell everyone, Practitioner Su is here; Mo Daoran offers you the deepest gratitude. Because of your Great Vow, Namo Amituofo can remain in the world, and therefore there is an opportunity to continuously deliver us ancient demons, and truly go to save sentient beings.

I know many ancient demons disdain the word 'save' when they hear it. Then I will change it to 'deliver everyone.' 'Deliver' might not sound as direct, but the two words 'save and deliver' combined are still not enough to describe the gratitude in our hearts at this moment. Alright, here, I, Mo Daoran, have said my heart's voice. I hope it is helpful to everyone. This long, long speech is my true heart's voice.

Ah, by the way, please allow me to add a brief explanation: if you want to truly save the human world and the demon realm, the most direct and powerful method is to let Namo Amituofo stay in the human world, stay at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Only then will people, as well as beings in the spirit realm and demon realm, have the opportunity to come and pay homage to the Buddha. When you truly feel the Buddha's compassion and Great Vow, you can be saved.

The most ideal situation is to let all spirit realm beings enter the Western Land of Dharma Nature, and eventually all be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. And in the human world, everyone can know Namo Amituofo and be able to chant the name 'Namo Amituofo,' that is true world peace. This is my greatest vow. Now, I also have a Great Vow leading me forward. I want to continue chanting my Buddha's name:

Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo, Namo Amituofo. That is all.

Namo Amituofo

Mo Daoran"
