Teachings from Namo Amituofo:
Today, the place where Namo Amituofo truly abides is the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, located in the town of Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. The people in this region are simple, honest, and kind, and the land itself is vast and serene. Because Namo Amituofo is here to teach the , the spirits of the unseen realms are the first to receive these profound benefits. They are able to listen to the teachings of Namo Amituofo, the guidance of Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and the explanations and lectures provided by Practitioner Su.
The Sacred Sanctuary of Namo Amituofo
Whether these spirits reside within the Earth or in other dimensions, they are given the opportunity to hear the Dharma. Some are able to have their space opened up so they may hear the teachings right where they are, while others must come to the temple in person. Once they arrive at the temple, they often remain here, or they wait in line outside the temple grounds to participate in the Dharma assemblies for .
In this sacred place, the Buddha-light is visible before one's eyes. Sentient beings have the precious opportunity to enter this golden light. By doing so, they are led by the Buddha to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss or to take rebirth in the human or heavenly realms. This allows them to avoid the suffering of the Three Evil Realms. This is possible because, after being purified by the light of Namo Amituofo, their accumulated impurities are extinguished, their good roots are nourished, and the quality of their spirit is greatly elevated. Those who can achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in this lifetime are those whose good roots, , and Causal Conditions are fully mature.
Purification and Deliverance for the Spirit Realm
For those whose conditions are not yet fully mature, they can still benefit from the purification of their spirits. Through the karmic connections they have formed, they are able to enter the human or heavenly realms instead of falling into the Three Evil Realms. This is a great benefit for the spirits who come to this Buddha-land to receive Chao Du. Furthermore, because of the Chao Du performed by the of Practitioner Su, the spirits are taught to chant Namo Amituofo. With the Buddha-name being chanted continuously twenty-four hours a day at the temple, we have even succeeded in calling for rain, ensuring that this region and its surroundings are spared from the suffering of drought and water shortages.
The Miraculous Transformation of the Salvation Team
In the past, there were many demon crowds that were subdued by Practitioner Su. Because they were invited into the Western Land of Dharma Nature, they have been able to listen to the sutras and hear the Dharma. By receiving the illumination of the Buddha-light and the blessings of the Buddha-name, they have benefited immensely. Their spiritual nature has been transformed; they have turned their demon nature into a nature of Goodness and have joined the salvation team. For many years, they have been circling the Earth, chanting Namo Amituofo and helping to purify the world.
Today, these beings in the salvation team who circle the Earth chanting the Buddha-name have been purified and nurtured by the Buddha-light and the Buddha-name for a long time. The nature of Goodness and the Buddha-nature within their hearts have been revealed. Their temperament, once filled with aggression, has been replaced by a compassionate and merciful quality. They are completely different from how they appeared before, which is a testament to the inconceivable power of the Buddha’s teachings.
