The Restoration of the Three Hun Souls and Seven Po Souls
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
The Rare and Precious Affinity
Today, the Dharma affinity we share is exceptionally magnificent. I call upon all my disciples to invite the beings currently suffering in the hells to come forth. It is time for them to return with their own souls and spirits. This is a matter that has never been heard of before in the annals of spiritual practice. Even the Yama Kings of the Ten Halls of Hell join in praise, for the merits and virtues of Practitioner Su are truly boundless and profound.
I command the prison guards of every hall to listen to this decree. At this very moment, you must release the souls and spirits you hold. You are to return them to the bodies of my disciples. When and the soul are once again in sync, the practitioner will surely find their path ahead to be clear and bright. Once the soul returns to the physical form, it must undergo a process of purification.
The Path to Spiritual Recovery
Many practitioners do not realise that their current suffering is a result of within the hells. They only feel a sense of unease, a difficulty in focusing, or physical symptoms such as pain, soreness, swelling, numbness, itching, or inflammation. Now that you have regained your complete spirit, the suffering of the body should gradually dissolve. You must focus on the following to maintain this state:
- Purify your Body, Speech, and Mind: This is the foundation of all spiritual progress.
- Keep the Buddha-name constantly in your heart: Do not allow scattered thoughts to disturb your peace.
- Focus your devotion: Simply concentrate on the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.
- Follow the flow of conditions: Let other matters unfold naturally, for everything is clearly seen through the eyes of the Buddha.
The Nature of the Soul
The soul and spirit are naturally inclined to follow the flow of conditions, whether they are dispersing or gathering. If the po souls are scattered, one cannot find peace. This often manifests as a gradual loss of physical strength, or even the inability to rise from one's bed. For sixty years, Venerable Master Chin Kung has dedicated his life to the teachings of the . He has created a profound Dharma affinity through the scriptures, fostering faith and understanding in countless beings. His achievements in practice are truly ultimate.
However, even at this stage, there are obstacles to overcome. The great Dharma of the Pure Land places equal weight on both practice and understanding. Only by balancing these two can one truly benefit all sentient beings. The lotus of Venerable Master Chin Kung, which was once pure and bright, has begun to wither. Through the of the Buddha and the intervention of Practitioner Su, we are working to retrieve his soul and spirit so that they may return to his body. Although there were knots of from past lives, this life is the time to receive and resolve them.
A Call to Unity and Protection
We look forward to seeing the next stage of his journey. May Venerable Master Chin Kung regain his clarity and awaken fully. There are many capable individuals under the banner of the Pure Land, and all should unite to return to the path of purity. The great power of Namo Amituofo requires the support of all disciples. With protection and without worry, we shall assist all beings together. Practitioner Su will lead the assembly in sending these beings to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. We hope for the harmony of the spirit and body of Venerable Master Chin Kung.
By inviting Practitioner Su to protect the physical form, even the demon crowds will find it difficult to enter. This is the true meaning of vowing to save oneself and others. With the power of the Buddha, we can assist Venerable Master Chin Kung, and the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way will become even clearer. We must consider how to sustain the aging body so that the work of salvation may continue. Namo Amituofo.
