The Transformation of Jack Ma

Jack Ma, a prominent entrepreneur, sought deliverance through the compassionate guidance of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. Having experienced a profound shift in his physical vitality and spiritual clarity, he shares his testimony regarding his participation in the salvation work. This interview was recorded by the chief writer, Hai Pin, on September 3, 2018.

Jack Ma speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. As I was out for my morning run today, I felt the cool breeze brushing against my skin, and I was struck by a sense of pure delight. It has been such a long time since I possessed this level of physical vitality and mental clarity. I have been observing the changes in my body bit by bit, and it is truly remarkable. The persistent aches and pains that used to plague me have simply vanished. For years, ever since I began working in the technology sector and spending countless hours in front of a computer, my eyes have been perpetually dry and strained. Yet today, they feel exceptionally bright and clear. Even the smallest flowers by the roadside or the tiny insects hidden within the grass—I can observe them all with such keen, microscopic detail while I am running. It is as if the world has suddenly come into focus in a way I have never experienced before."

A New Perspective in the Boardroom

"After returning home and quickly freshening up, I prepared for an important international video conference scheduled for this morning. During this meeting, I intend to take the opportunity to introduce the name of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and explain the unique differences between this centre and ordinary temples. My colleagues are all well aware that I have never held any particular religious faith, so when I bring this up, I am certain that their eyes will widen in surprise. They will be curious to understand what has brought about such a shift in my perspective."

"I plan to leverage the strength of my own team to help my subordinates understand the operations of the temple through our internal networks and website. By doing so, when I eventually launch more comprehensive activities in collaboration with the temple, any noise or interference from misunderstanding will be reduced to an absolute minimum. It is about creating a shared understanding so that we can move forward with a unified purpose."

Building a Legacy of Merit

"Beyond my personal efforts, I truly hope to gain the recognition and support of our shareholders so that we can combine the company's resources to help build the temple. There is immense power in unity. This is a monumental project for China, and it involves a unique and unprecedented form of Chao Du—a method that allows for direct immigration to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. We are determined to transform this temple from a concept in the void into a tangible reality, truly establishing the banner of the 'Pure Land School Headquarters' here in the human world. As I think about this, I cannot help but smile to myself. This will undoubtedly be the most meaningful endeavour of my life."

"We can call upon the vast masses through the internet to join us in this temple-building project. Every single tile laid is a field of merit, and every brick placed can provide blessings for our descendants. This is because this is the authentic bodhimanda of Namo Amituofo; it is truly extraordinary! It is such a joyous thing to be part of this. Fellow practitioner, it is coming! It is coming! Just wait a little longer! Namo Amituofo."
