The Sensitive Awareness of the True Nature

The Essence of Sensitive Awareness

Sensitive awareness, as a manifestation of purity and clarity, is essential for the salvation of all beings. It is the natural, effortless state of those who have realised their true nature. In this age of the Dharma’s decline, beings are burdened by heavy karma and profound confusion. This ignorance acts as a veil, obscuring the sensitive awareness that is inherently present within us, causing us to sink into the cycle of the Five Desires and the Six Dusts.

Many do not yet understand that this sensitive awareness is an innate quality of our true self. Within this awareness lie infinite wisdom, virtue, and auspicious characteristics. It does not need to be sought from the outside world; through the practice of True Cultivation, one can gradually strip away the layers of delusion until the moment of Awakening is reached.

The Body as the Ultimate Technology

Sensitive awareness manifests through the six sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind). In truth, every pore of the body, every internal organ, and every single cell possesses this capacity for sensitive awareness. As one undergoes the process of purification, this awareness naturally elevates, becoming more refined and acute, leading eventually to the full realisation of one's true nature.

For those who have realised their true nature and attained Buddhahood, this sensitive awareness is elevated to a state of total clarity and omniscience. This is the state of Prajna Wisdom—a state of knowing nothing, yet being aware of everything. Through this physical body and the six sense organs, the practitioner can manifest this sensitive awareness and the innate functions of the six sense organs. There is no need to look outward; the human body itself is the most advanced technology in the universe. When the Dharma Body manifests, it acts with the clarity of an awakened being, just as the eyes open to see the truth, and the Dharma Body works to resolve conflicts and perform Chao Du for those in need.

The Trap of External Pursuit

Modern people live surrounded by technology, constantly looking outward to satisfy the needs of the body and the mind. Yet, this pursuit is driven by endless desire. It traps the individual in a cycle of wanting more, where even after having enough, one still craves more. To satisfy these insatiable desires, new technologies are constantly being developed and updated. In this process, people remain unaware of, or choose to ignore, the sensitive awareness they already possess within. They do not realise that the answer is not to be found in the external world, but by looking inward.

The Path of Purification

Purification is not an easy task in our current way of life. We are constantly surrounded by an environment that reinforces the ego—the constant focus on "I need," "I want," and "I desire." These layers of defilement accumulate, pulling us further and further away from the path of purification and Awakening. This is why Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has appeared in this world.

Under the guidance of Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su, the centre provides a sanctuary for the fourfold assembly of disciples. We are here to assist you in your diligent practice of purification, with the hope that you may remove defilements and attain purity. Through a balanced approach of adjusting the mind, adjusting the body, resolving conflicts with spirits, and performing Chao Du for karmic creditors, we hope to help all disciples reveal their sensitive awareness and manifest the innate functions of the six sense organs. By drawing closer to your true self and eventually reaching Awakening, you may join the ranks of those who save the world and teach the Dharma. This is the greatest blessing for all beings.
