Words of Namo Amituofo:
The Constant Flux of Existence
In every moment of our lives, we exist within a state of constant transition. These shifts are not merely external events; they are the fundamental movements of our heart and mind. Consider the many ways we transform:
From impurity to purity, or from purity back into the cycle of impurity.
From the worldly life to the transcendental path, or from the path of the awakened back into the mundane world.
From a mixture of good and evil to a state of pure Goodness, or conversely, from Goodness into the shadows of negativity.
From complexity to simplicity, or from a simple state of mind into the tangled web of complexity.
From delusion into the light of Wisdom (Prajna), or from Wisdom (Prajna) back into the darkness of ignorance.
From anger into the warmth of , or from compassion back into the coldness of anger.
From being attached to one's own personality traits to the state of .
The Practitioner's True Test
These transitions are the ultimate test for every practitioner. They challenge the depth of your compassion and the clarity of your Wisdom (Prajna). More importantly, they test the strength of your faith, the sincerity of your vow, and the consistency of your daily practice. How you handle these moments of change determines whether you are moving closer to the of Ultimate Bliss or drifting further away.
Navigating the Dimensions of Space and Time
The universe is composed of countless space. Between one space and another, there exist infinite variations, and the flow of time itself moves at different speeds depending on the space one occupies. While these space exist independently and do not interfere with one another, they are not impenetrable barriers. Through the power of a focused mental note, one can transcend the limitations of both time and space.
The mental note has a profound, piercing power. When your heart is filled with compassion, when it is pure and filled with Goodness, and when it is entirely selfless and free from even the slightest trace of attachment, it can travel without obstruction. It can break through the barriers that separate one dimension from another.
The Compassionate Reach of the Awakened
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and those who have realised their true nature possess the ability to save beings across countless realms of space and time. They can move from the Earth to the heavenly realms, traverse the vastness of the universe and the Realm, and return to the Earth with ease. This transition between space is swift and unobstructed, and the work of saving beings is carried out with the same effortless grace.
