The Sacred Dharma Transmitted Again
Teachings from Namo Amituofo
Recorded on September 21, 2017
The Eternal Flow of Wisdom
On the twenty-first of September, 2017, the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxi, respectfully invited Namo Amituofo to provide compassionate guidance. Namo Amituofo offered the following teachings:
The profound essence of the Buddha’s teachings is meant to be transmitted and flourish. When this wisdom takes root in the field of our spiritual achievements, we can finally rise above the turbulent ocean of where we have drifted for so long. Just as the stars of last night fade into the morning light, so too must the illusions of our spiritual obstacles pass away. When these veils are lifted, the true nature of our spirit, vast as the ocean, is revealed.
The universe is layered with infinite dimensions, yet these realms exist in harmony without interference. Each being follows its own path, seeking its own way to live and grow. However, many are lost in the cycle of rebirth, having forgotten the original nature from which they came. Without the light of the True Teachings, the spirit remains hidden in darkness, unable to find its way home.
The Power of the Sacred Name
The sound of the Buddha’s voice is clear and resonant. The six-character Buddha-name of Namo Amituofo is a powerful force that can stabilise the very essence of our existence and bring forth the life of the within us. The majesty of the Buddha is vast and boundless. When we put the Dharma into practice, our lives become vibrant and meaningful. This is not merely about existing in the world of dust and desire; it is about the wisdom within.
To transcend the spiritual obstacles of this world, one must continue the work of ending the cycle of rebirth. We must ensure that the Dharma remains alive in our hearts, for to let it wither would be a great tragedy. When you prostrate before the Buddha with a sincere and pure heart, you are reaching for the highest Dharma. This path is the path of the enlightened ones.
Cultivating a Sincere and Pure Heart
Do not allow your practice to become a mere performance or a hollow ritual. When you bow, let your entire being be filled with the spirit of the Dharma. If you do not truly receive the teachings in your heart, then you cannot truly benefit from them. Do not let your merit be squandered by a lack of sincerity. It is not the physical act of bowing that matters most, but the state of your heart. If your heart is true, then your practice is complete.
The key to this path lies within your own heart. You must learn to regulate your mind, keeping it calm and steady, without arrogance or pride. This is the mark of a true practitioner of the Dharma. As you spread the teachings, you must understand that the time is now. You must share this light with others, for the benefit of all beings.
The Urgent Mission of the True Teachings
The spirit world is vast and filled with beings in need. With a righteous heart, you must dedicate yourself to saving them. Share the teachings with an open and humble mind, and put your full strength into this noble work. With a pure heart and deep , you must establish the vow to save all beings. The Buddha has transmitted this path to you; why would you hesitate to share it?
The True Teachings have a specific appearance, one that aligns with virtue and the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. As a disciple of the Buddha, you are part of a sacred lineage. The question is: are you ready to rise to this challenge? You must turn your focus toward the world and initiate a comprehensive transformation. By following the path of Goodness and acting from the heart, your vows will be fulfilled and your path will become clear.
Awakening the World
The true Dharma is not found in mere appearances. In this era of the Dharma-ending age, the Sacred Dharma is being transmitted once again. The question remains: who will be the ones to carry it forward? To proclaim the Dharma to the world is a task of immeasurable merit. You must follow the Buddha’s vision and view the world with . By spreading the Buddha’s teachings, you can awaken those who are lost in the darkness of the world.
You must accept the responsibility of this eternal mission: to save countless beings. Do not forget the world, for it is on the brink of a great transition. All the True Teachings are now ready to guide you. It is time for all beings in this world to rise together. Promote the ocean of the Dharma, engage in the practical work of , and let your vow to save the world be reflected in your actions. Only through correct practice and righteous effort can you truly embody the and the wisdom of the Buddha. The Tathagata reveals the profound, and as the time comes, the legend of Hsiang Kuang will spread far and wide.
This message was recorded by the Buddha’s disciple, Shi Faxi.
