This is a record of an interview with the spirit of Princess Diana, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. She now resides in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. This account reflects upon her life and her journey to the Pure Land. Recorded by the chief writer, Fa Ning, on May 16, 2026.

Princess Diana speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am the former Princess Diana, though everyone affectionately called me Diana. It is my honour to be interviewed today by the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. What I wish to share today is a completely different experience from what I would have spoken about when I was still Princess Diana in the human world."

A New Identity in the Western Pure Land

"Counting the time since I arrived in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, it has been thirteen years. In the human world, that is thirteen years, but here, it feels as though not much time has passed at all. Regardless, I have truly become a very different person—a different Diana. I am no longer the Diana of the past; I now appear as a dignified, solemn young man, much like the Buddha himself! I know this might be difficult for the general public to imagine, especially since many still refer to me as Princess Diana. If I were still in the human world, I would be in my sixties by now."

The Burden of Fame and the Path of Suffering

"I am aware of the adoration and regret people felt for me back then, and how, even years after my passing, I have remained the subject of such attention and love. Many still remember my name and lay wreaths in my memory. Honestly, I was just a small figure in history. But what I want to share today may serve as a mirror for many: please, do not walk the path I took."

The of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su

"Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su were so compassionate to guide me to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. From that day on, I became a member of the Buddha’s gate. My reverence and gratitude toward the Buddha have never faded. I know I was a person burdened with heavy sins, so I have been diligently practising in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, purifying my heart at every moment. Of course, in this place, it is impossible not to purify oneself. This is a pure and dignified Buddha-land. Every being who arrives here, once they step onto this soil and are bathed in the Buddha-light, naturally becomes filled with purifying energy, drawing very close to the Buddha. I no longer have any attachment or longing for the past."

The Purification of the Spirit

"This is who I am—Diana—after arriving in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I could feel the purification and transformation of my spirit. It all happened so quickly and naturally. Especially after soaking in the Eight Virtues Water, I felt so refreshed, with not a single trace of affliction in my heart. My thoughts are now like those of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: how can I help more beings leave suffering behind and gain happiness? However, my abilities are still far from those of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as is my compassion, so I am still learning diligently."

Reflecting on the Past and the Truth of

"Today, when Practitioner Su invited me for this interview, I suddenly remembered the passion I felt when I first arrived here, wanting to tell so many things. But after thirteen years, I have become a very pure being of the Western Land. Still, I am deeply grateful to Practitioner Su for giving me this precious opportunity to tell my story. This story must help everyone understand the true Buddha’s teachings. Because my life’s actions were contrary to the teachings of the Buddha, I had to suffer the bitter fruits of karma. Simply put, that is exactly what happened."

The Equality of the Pure Land

"I only encountered the Buddha’s teachings after I arrived in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, but I was shocked by everything I learned here. I had never known or had any concept of the word 'Buddha'. But after arriving here, I discovered that in this perfectly equal world, everyone looks the same, eats the same, and wears the same clothes. Everything the Buddha possesses, we beings of the Western Land can also possess. I was very surprised when I first arrived. I had many doubts, but through the Buddha’s answers, they were slowly resolved, and everything proceeded very naturally. This is a world where, as the Buddha’s teachings say, 'all superior beings gather in one place.' People who come here do not harbour any evil thoughts or dissatisfaction. Everyone is filled with thoughts of Goodness as they walk through the Western Land."

The Darkness of Hell

"This is a world of difference from the world I was in before Practitioner Su guided me to the West. I was suffering in hell, and it felt like I had been there for decades. It was a world of immense, immense pain. Everything around me was pitch black, and I never knew what would happen in the next second. My body was constantly being sliced and diced, and I was in perpetual, agonising pain. I cried and cried in hell; it was truly a case of 'calling to heaven with no response, and calling to earth with no answer.' At the time, I had no extravagant hopes; I only wished for my body to feel a little less pain and for everything to return to how it was before. Even though life in the human world was bitter, tiring, and helpless, it was far, far better than the suffering I endured in hell every single second."

The Grace of Practitioner Su

"I did not know what I had done wrong, and I felt filled with grievances and helplessness. Because I did not understand the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, I felt confused and lost about my life. Which religious doctrine had I violated to deserve such a tragic ? Fortunately, I met Practitioner Su. Practitioner Su is a Buddha in the flesh who has realised his true nature in the human world and established the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. Because he shares the same vows as the Buddha, he possesses the same abilities. Practitioner Su can often enter hell, bringing the great light of Namo Amituofo to save us suffering beings. I was one of the lucky ones."

A Story of Deliverance

"It is just that my name was too prominent and famous. Practitioner Su knew I was the former Princess Diana, so after guiding me up, he sent me to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. This became a beautiful story of Princess Diana’s rebirth in the Western Pure Land. But people do not know how much suffering I endured in hell! In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I, Diana, knelt down very sincerely, bowing and paying respects to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, expressing the gratitude in my heart. For all those years, I had never been bathed in such warm light. This was truly different from the world I had witnessed in Christianity. The Western Land of Ultimate Bliss made me feel incredibly vast and at peace! This was also so different from the world and appearance I encountered when I was Princess Diana. The compassion here is the compassion that naturally arises from the nature of all things; there is no falsehood, no hypocrisy. Everything is very real and very peaceful."

The Meaning of Karma

"I have spent over a decade here, and it has thoroughly purified me from the inside out. I, Diana, am now known as 'Wonderful Sound' along with all other beings of the Western Land; I am no longer the Diana of the past. But because my story remains etched in people’s hearts and is often mentioned, I feel it is necessary to account for my life story, to let the world understand the true Buddha’s teachings and the education of cause and effect. Why did so many ups and downs happen in my life, as if I never had a peaceful day? In fact, all of this is the unfolding of . 'Cause and effect' is a very important part of the Buddha’s teachings. Only by knowing and understanding that everything has a cause and an effect will people stop having complaints or thoughts about themselves or others. They will know right from wrong, what can be done and what cannot be done, and only then can the Buddha’s education of cause and effect be known to the world."

The Importance of Cause and Effect

"Only then will everyone abandon evil and follow the path of Goodness, refraining from doing bad things, and the world can be at peace. Therefore, cause and effect are truly too important. Yet, in today’s society, whether in religions or groups, very few people mention it. To let everyone better understand my life story and all its ups and downs, I will honestly account for my life. My birth, as a relative of the British Royal Family, involved very close ties with the royals. This aristocratic lineage was already determined at my birth. Although it sounds very noble, in the society of that time, it was not a status that would make one feel particularly remarkable; after all, many of the British royal relatives were not as glorious as they once were."

A Childhood of Loneliness

"To the British people, we were not particularly beloved. I had plenty of food and clothing since I was young, but my heart was extremely empty. This is the most vivid portrayal of my life. Although I lived in a large mansion as a child and my siblings and I lived very well, with abundant material wealth, my parents divorced when I was only six. Before and after their divorce, and even many years later, I could not truly walk out of the shadow of this childhood. My parents could not tolerate each other, and various conflicts arose. This was a huge blow to us siblings, and our hearts began to drift apart. Because I did not receive the love of my parents, I desperately craved family love, which made me spend my whole life chasing after emotion and love, yet I never ended up with a good result. These are the various side effects of the lack I experienced in childhood. At the time, I did not know this was also part of my karma. Therefore, when people asked me about my childhood, I would always speak with a tone of blame, complaining about the various conflicts and injustices I encountered, which cast a layer of grey over my heart. And this heart of complaint only added more grey to my heart."

"I loved my sons so very, very much, yet I found myself unable to provide them with the kind of love and education that a mother truly ought to give. Think about it—how can a mother whose own spirit is in a state of constant instability provide her children with a sense of wholeness? My children were remarkably understanding. My eldest, William, in particular, has always been a person of integrity. Even as a child, he seemed so composed and reserved, possessing an innate ability to stand on his own two feet, which brought me great comfort. My younger son, however, had a temperament more like my own—carrying a streak of rebellion and a habit of doing things his own way. Perhaps that is simply what he learned from watching me.

The Weight of Past Karma

Regardless of how their lives are unfolding today, I no longer feel that overwhelming anxiety or regret. Since arriving in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have been able to let go of everything. Yet, the karma I created in the past and the influence I had on those who came after me remain sources of deep remorse. I cannot simply blame the beings and the demon crowds for controlling me and leading me into that abyss. It was my own personality, my own temperament, and the stifled, restless within my heart that attracted those beings to draw near and exert their influence. Sometimes, what appeared to be a bold and confident exterior was, in truth, merely a mask to hide the deep-seated insecurity within.

In reality, there are countless women in this world who share a similar experience. When one’s emotional needs go unmet, one begins to search outward, desperate for the affirmation, the gaze, and the praise of the world. Even the charitable work I initiated was, in part, an attempt to satisfy the inner void and sense of emptiness I felt. There was a side of me that was sincere, but there was also a side that was not. That is the nature of the state one falls into when under the control of so many spirits.

The Futility of Seeking Outside

In the past, I had a passing interest in spiritual cultivation and various unorthodox methods for understanding the spiritual world. Because my heart felt so profoundly empty, I wanted to use these channels to understand the destiny of my life and to uncover the true desires and pursuits hidden within my heart. However, all of these pursuits remained superficial and formal; they were utterly incapable of resolving the true suffering within my heart.

Only now do I understand that if one wishes to truly heal the depression, bipolar disorder, and the emotional deficiencies that I suffered from, it can only be achieved through genuine Buddhist education. Only then can people truly step out of the cycle of spinning within their own limited worlds. If people could understand the relationship between the spiritual world and themselves, they would not be so reckless, doing whatever they please and saying whatever comes to mind.

The Universal Principle and the Path of Truth

If people could abide by the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way—maintaining good thoughts and righteousness regardless of how difficult their environment might be—they would not invite so many unnecessary complications. They certainly would not end up like I, Diana, did, suffering a painful death. All of this is part of the karmic conditions and the causes and effects.

The unhappiness in my marriage to my husband, and my inability to coexist with the British Royal Family, were all part of the unfolding of karma. My husband was no ordinary person, of course. In our marriage, which existed in name only, we were essentially two bodies controlled by many spirits and demon crowds, merely fulfilling the responsibilities of our union. We owed each other from the past, and now we were repaying one another in various ways. I made him feel immense anger and humiliation, and he made me feel extreme loneliness and panic. These things have their causes and effects; they are the fruits of the seeds we each planted in the past, leading to this present-day cycle of loving and hurting one another.

Therefore, throughout history, this concept of 'emotion' has truly been the downfall of many! Now, as I look back on all of this from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I feel it deeply. If people could treat the concept of 'emotion' with rationality, they could spare themselves a great deal of trouble and suffering in their lives.

A Path to True Sincerity

Now that I am in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I wish to share a vital principle for living: when one is alive in the human world, it is essential to be sincere, genuine, and real. This is of the utmost importance. If you continue to live your life with a hypocritical and artificial heart, unable to interact with others with true sincerity, you have already violated the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. When I was in the human world, it was precisely because of my attachments and my suppressed heart that I allowed layer upon layer of grey to cover my spirit. I went from being a very simple Diana in my teens to a Diana filled with extreme panic and insecurity, and in doing so, I unveiled the karma of my entire life. Under the control of so many spirits and demon crowds, I was unable to truly break free.

This temperament was also deeply related to my childhood education. Because I did not receive complete education and care as a child, it led to many flaws in my character, which in turn attracted the control of many spirits.

Therefore, I advise all parents in the world: if you do not have a stable and kind heart, and if you are not truly prepared to raise the next generation, I urge you not to have children. Do not pass on the flaws and temperaments of your own life to the next generation, forcing your children to bear the weight of this Collective Karma.

The Greatness of Buddhist Education

Since arriving in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have been struck by the greatness and necessity of Buddhist education. People in the world—especially those like me, from Britain or other Western nations—have an understanding of Buddhist education that is far too shallow. It remains stuck on the surface, focused on mere forms, without truly grasping the power of peace that Buddhist education can bring to people.

It is just as Practitioner Su has always said: the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre can bring people a profound sense of peace. This is the same principle. The compassion and equality spoken of in the Buddha’s teachings are rooted in a genuine, heartfelt equality toward all beings. The Buddha’s heart of equality is the hope that all beings can become a Buddha just like Him, saving beings and merging the lives of all beings with His own. Only with such a heart of equality can one bring people the power of true peace, allowing everyone, while they are still human, to face everything in the world with a heart of tolerance and compassionate sincerity.

Furthermore, regarding the world after death and the exploration of the spiritual, the Buddha’s teachings provide a complete answer. The Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre can bring people to a state where they do not grow old, do not get sick, and their spirit does not die. This is the absolute truth. This truth comes from the Buddha’s most expansive mind-capacity and compassion.

The Path to Liberation

Those who become a Buddha do so because they have no 'self'; their hearts contain only beings. Only in this way can they truly help all beings escape the suffering of the cycle of rebirth and reach the true shore of ultimate bliss. Since arriving in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have been filled with gratitude and for the Buddha’s teachings. Every day, under the purification and nourishment of the Buddha-light, I have benefited immensely. My past habits and dust-like defilements have been eliminated one by one, and the joy and emotion in my heart are beyond words. Therefore, I still wish to tell the people of the world: if you have the opportunity, you must come into contact with this ultimate and perfect education of the Buddha.

Buddhist education is not like other forms of education, which only bring temporary relief and comfort without curing the root of the pain and anxiety in people's hearts. In this world filled with suffering and unease, many people cannot find a real solution for their depression or bipolar disorder, relying only on science and external forms for temporary respite.

As someone who once suffered from depression and bipolar disorder, now standing in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss looking back at this, I strongly recommend that if you can truly encounter a perfect Buddhist education like that of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, it will certainly bring you the power of true peace. When you can learn to let go of your own feelings step by step, and place all beings into your heart to understand them as you would understand yourself—gradually letting go of this 'self'—then, naturally, there will be no more suffering.

If people can understand the true laws of karma and cause and effect, knowing that everything they suffer today is actually the result of sins they once committed, and if they can sincerely use a heart of compassion and repentance to repay these sins, their hearts will no longer be filled with such misery and unease. Buddhist education is truly suitable for all age groups, for people from all walks of life, and for those at different stages of spiritual growth.

Especially at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, because Namo Amituofo is residing here, one can receive so many teachings and answers directly from the Buddha. Just as the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has collected the Buddha’s teachings over many years during the —teachings from Namo Amituofo that have been compiled into the series 'Messages from Namo Amituofo’s Heart'—if you are willing to look carefully, let go of your inherent prejudices and attachments, and sincerely examine the truths spoken by the Buddha, the knots in your heart will naturally be untied, your restless heart will naturally find peace, and your suffering soul will find salvation.

In addition to Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju also resides at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, providing everyone with many points on practice and teachings to resolve the various confusions in people's hearts every week. These precious teachings from the Buddha and the Teacher can now be found online. If you are willing to sincerely learn the Buddha’s teachings, not only to help yourself resolve your psychological pain but also to help those around you—and even more beings—to leave suffering and gain happiness, you must visit the website of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre.

If this precious Buddhist education can spread its branches and leaves in this world, reaching into the hearts of many, it can bring a true to people and resolve the problems in their hearts at the root, rather than merely addressing the various symptoms on the surface. Namo Amituofo."}

Looking back now from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I reflect on those final years of my life as Diana. I had truly entered a state where I was completely unable to master my own life. Although I had been married and divorced, my emotional world throughout that lifetime remained incredibly intense and turbulent.

I was controlled by so many spirits of emotion and lust, which left me unable to extricate myself from one emotional entanglement after another. I experienced several passionate and dramatic romances, and I ended each relationship amidst extreme anxiety and panic. It seemed as though I spent my entire life desperately grasping at something, constantly swirling in an emotional vortex. There were many beings within me who, like me, craved that sense of security and a place to call home; it was this shared longing that led me step by step into such an abyss, from which I could not free myself.

The Complexity of the Spiritual World

Now, viewing the state of spirituality in the human world from the perspective of a Westerner, I have come to realise that the spiritual world is truly incredibly complex. The space around us is densely packed with beings, all of whom are filled with unease and panic. In truth, they are always waiting for people with similar temperaments to attach themselves to, seeking resonance and energy. Because they are similar, they cherish one another; by being together, they can exert even greater power. People commit negative karma without even knowing that they have lost control of themselves. These demons and beings will also have to face retribution later, just as humans must face retribution after death. Everyone has their own causal conditions, yet they cling to one another, creating negative karma together.

The operation of this human world and the spiritual world is simply too complex. If people do not understand Buddhist education, they have no way of knowing the preciousness of meditative concentration. Only those who possess meditative concentration in their hearts can truly remain undisturbed by these forces and understand the importance of chanting "Namo Amituofo" to the very end. In the past, I knew nothing of the Buddha. The spiritual courses I took only allowed me to understand the very superficial surface of the spiritual world—the level that people want to know about. As for the facts and truths that people do not wish to explore, or those that would impact their daily lives, they have long been obscured by people's own eyes, unable to truly surface and be recognised by the world.

The Illusion of Control

When I, Diana, was controlled by so many beings, , and demons, I seemed like a butterfly. I could make many men around me fall for me, and I could reciprocate their feelings with the same intensity. Of course, the depth of our causal conditions varied; I developed different emotions for different men, and the relationships and stories that unfolded were all quite different.

Ultimately, it was because I lacked this education and sense of security from childhood, and because I was led by my own karma, that I fell—like the general public—into a life where I could not be the master of my own destiny, allowing these beings to control me. This is the tragedy of the human world. How many people in this world can truly break free from the fate and karma they brought with them? This is truly not an easy thing to accomplish.

The Truth Behind the Tragedy

Future generations often have many different answers and questions regarding Diana's death. Of course, now that I am looking back at those events from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I can see everything very clearly.

At that time, I was on a date in Paris with my new boyfriend. Late at night, the driver was speeding through a tunnel with us, and there were other vehicles chasing us from behind, which caused the driver to lose control and crash into the tunnel wall. This fatal car accident resulted in the deaths of both myself and my companion.

People have always had many speculations about this death: some believe I was murdered, some think it was not an accident at all, and some even believe the driver intentionally led everyone into a fatal situation. Of course, the driver himself also lost his life.

In fact, when viewed from a spiritual perspective, this was simply the manifestation of my own negative karma. Under the collective karma of everyone involved, the beings I had accumulated controlled this fatal car accident. We had already been drinking, and the beings were already inside, preparing for the occurrence of this crash. All of this was the unfolding of karmic conditions and the causes and effects; there was no so-called conspiracy theory or intentional murder. Rather, it was my own karmic creditors coming to seek revenge, bringing everyone into this car accident together, which led to the tragic death of Diana.

Suffering in the Hells

After I died, I quickly went to report to the hells, beginning a long period of retribution that lasted over a decade. At the time, I kept trying to understand what I had done wrong and why I had to suffer such excruciating torture in hell. Because I had not received Buddhist education, I did not know that everything I had done was actually not in accordance with the . Especially in my emotional life, the consequences of my indulgence set a very poor example for the world.

At that time, my soul had already reported to the hells without my knowing, and my true spirit was suffering torture in hell. Long-term depression and complex thinking caused me to first enter the brain-gouging hell. My brain was endlessly dissected, and the pain was incomparable; my entire head spent eternity in intense agony. I have mentioned before that my soul had already gone to the iron-bed hell to receive retribution. Because one emotional entanglement after another blinded my eyes, I indulged my own desires. As a dignified princess, both my former husband and I engaged in acts of sexual misconduct, which led to the retribution I face today.

A Warning to the World

Now, I, Princess Diana, am dissecting these cause and effect relationships as a Westerner, wanting to tell the world that everything we do is real and not empty. The laws of karma and cause and effect are truly real; everything one does will eventually return to oneself. This is a very natural occurrence. It is not because some god or Buddha is dominating one's fate; the principles of the universe are simply like this. If you do something wrong, you will naturally receive the corresponding retribution. Furthermore, many beings who hold grudges against me will also deal me a fatal blow when my life reaches its end.

Although my life was short, I experienced countless events that were regrettable and sorrowful. Many people still admire me greatly, believing that I am the perfect princess in their hearts, an existence like an angel. I am ashamed! So ashamed! Everything I did, which looked so glorious and great, was actually just the responsibility I was supposed to fulfill. Perhaps much of it was even mixed with selfishness, so what is there for people to admire and obsess over so much?

I sincerely advise all British people and everyone in the world: if you have unspeakable suffering in your heart, or feelings of gloom, or even conditions like depression or bipolar disorder, you must come to know the Buddha. In particular, you should learn about the Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, because this is the place that can truly help everyone root out the pain in their hearts. The education of Buddhism is very complete, and the Buddha can provide different teachings for people of different capacities to help them gain strength and inspiration.

If you are not a Buddhist and do not know the Buddha, you might as well try reading the Buddhist teachings from the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, especially "Messages from Namo Amituofo’s Heart" and the teachings of Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, to gain some energy from them. At the same time, you can understand Buddhism from a very objective perspective and learn why Buddhism can be called the "technology of technologies" and the true righteous path that everyone in the universe should follow.

The Path to Liberation

Buddhism is not a religion, but an education; this is something that the general public should understand. If I, Diana, were to carefully dissect the true situation of depression and bipolar disorder for everyone today, let me tell you: this is all because the beings within your body are in charge, not your true self, which is why these situations occur.

If everyone can understand Buddhist education, the first step when you feel you cannot master your own life is to learn how to slowly let go of your feelings. Although you cannot let go all at once, you can slowly walk this path, lowering your feelings again and again.

The easiest way is actually to find a path where you can serve the public, or a way to contribute to the masses, and in the process of helping others, gradually forget your own pain. While helping others, you expand your mind-capacity, seeing the suffering of other beings while also seeing your own suffering. Only then can you see that the suffering within you is so illusory and small, so unworthy of mention. Because the suffering you see at this moment is, from beginning to end, just a false appearance!

When I was Princess Diana, I actually held this sentiment when I began to step out and conduct this series of charitable activities, letting the world know that I was a low-key and loving princess doing good things in many places in the human world.

However, because my status and position at the time were truly too extraordinary, it was not like an ordinary person who could truly let go of their body and mind completely to perform these good deeds in a low-key and simple manner. Every good deed I did was heavily reported and publicised by the media and newspapers for the whole world to see. Invisibly, this greatly nurtured my vanity and arrogance, making this good intention impure and mixed with other things.

Therefore, I was unable to let go of myself while contributing. On the contrary, while contributing, I sometimes accidentally fell into a situation where I grasped onto myself even tighter. This also became a situation where, sometimes, when I did not receive the affirmation and corresponding rewards from everyone for what I had done, a heart craving for attention and affirmation would arise. This is a sequela brought about by my lack of security, and it is also the personality and habits brought about by being accustomed to applause and affirmation under the watchful eyes of the public. Namo Amituofo.

"Therefore, I was never able to do as the Buddha taught—to let go of myself while performing my duties and return to my most pure and genuine nature. Oh, people of the world, this 'self' truly harms everyone so deeply! From the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I see it very clearly: in this world, everyone is creating negative karma for the sake of emotions and for the sake of the 'self.' You cling tightly to this body, sparing no cost to satisfy its every vanity and desire. But in the end, isn't all of this just a void, a mere illusion?

The Illusion of Attachment

There is truly nothing in this world worth clinging to, yet everyone is unable to let go of their status and their feelings. That is why, just like me, Diana, people spend their entire lives repeating the same mistakes and suffering the same agonies.

In my home country, the United Kingdom, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide rates are actually very high. While people may be materially satisfied, their inner emptiness is repeatedly covered up and suppressed. Everyone is constantly being controlled by countless beings, trapped within their own personalities and emotional states.

A Message to My Sons

Finally, I would like to say a few words to my sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

You both now have your own families and responsibilities. No matter where you are, no matter the current state of your relationship with each other or with the British Royal Family, you must always follow the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way in everything you do. You must not be biased.

In the Buddha’s gate, the concept of 'filial piety' is of the utmost importance. Regardless of the circumstances, your heart of filial respect for your elders and parents must never diminish. No matter what pain you have endured or what unspeakable grievances you may hold, 'Goodness' and 'filial piety' remain the moral foundations that everyone must uphold.

The Dangers of Emotional Indulgence

Especially when dealing with relationships and the complexities of the emotional world, you must never indulge your emotions and desires. Avoid giving the demon crowds an opportunity to take advantage of you and control you. Do not walk your mother's path! It is better to be steady and down-to-earth, fulfilling your responsibilities. If you have the capacity and the ability, you must stand up to serve the people and contribute to the peace and beauty of this world.

Do not live only for yourselves. If you can broaden your mind-capacity and live for the sake of the vast number of beings, you will live much better lives. If you only think of yourselves or your small family, you will forever be trapped in the prison of the 'self,' unable to truly break free.

Furthermore, you must place great importance on the education of the next generation, especially character education. Provide your children with a complete, stable, and loving family so they can grow up healthy and kind. This is the only way to prevent them from being controlled by too many demon crowds and spirits. Otherwise, they may never be able to live an autonomous life—that is a truly tragic fate!

A Mother's Regret

My heart of guilt toward you has never lessened. I regret that I could not give you a complete and beautiful childhood, that I could not teach you the correct values and outlook on life, and that I could not guide you to encounter the true Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. You both carry, to some extent, unspeakable pain and confusion.

Today, your mother blesses you from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I hope you can step out of this 'self,' understand your responsibilities in society, and cherish this most precious human body. Especially since you are both prominent public figures, you must be mindful of your every action and word. If you commit acts that violate the Universal Principle and lead others to follow suit, the negative karma created would be immense!

Your mother is a prime example. My life was a mix of good and evil, and this life of conflicting actions brought negative influences to the world. You should understand the shame and remorse in my heart.

The Complexity of the Spiritual Realm

Finally, as the former Princess of Wales, Diana, I convey these messages from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, hoping that everyone can understand the value of Buddhist education. In this polluted and complex world—especially given the complexity of the spiritual realm—I hope this serves as a warning to all.

If I say the spiritual realm is complex, you must take it as a caution. Many people, after death, fall into the ghost realm. Just like the crowded spiritual world today, they continue to live in this space without a destination. This is a very common occurrence. Do not assume that after you die, you will surely ascend to heaven or be reborn as a human; such opportunities are truly slim!

Now, my children and grandchildren, while you still have a human body to function and act, you must have a deep realisation! If you wish to understand Buddhist education, come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Center in Australia. Here, there is Practitioner Su, an awakened being who can communicate directly with Namo Amituofo. Practitioner Su and the Venerables at the temple can also convey messages to you by speaking with my spirit.

A Path to Deliverance

Today, I, Princess Diana, have taken refuge in the Buddha’s gate, and I have been in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss for quite some time. Here, there is no more of the pain and helplessness I once knew; my heart remains in a state of absolute coolness and clarity. I am so grateful for this magnificent Causal Condition that allows me to accept this interview at the temple and look back on the past to provide this report for everyone.

The suffering of that time has passed, and now everyone here is engaged in diligent practice. I hope that one day, when my practice is successful, I can return to the human world to continue saving all beings connected to me by karmic affinity, in order to repay the debts I once owed them.

Gratitude to the compassion of Namo Amituofo, and gratitude to the compassion of Practitioner Su!

Namo Amituofo.

Princess Diana"
