The Rhythms of the Universe

In the human world, a day is measured by twenty-four hours, a standard dictated by the specific space our Earth occupies. Because of the varying longitudinal and latitudinal positions of different nations, we experience time differences and variations in the length of daylight and darkness. However, in the heavenly realms, on different planets, and throughout the vast Realm, the calculation of time is entirely different. For instance, one month in the human world might be equivalent to a single day in the ghost realm, or four hundred years in the human world might equal one day in the Tusita Heaven. These are merely examples; the actual reality is far more complex. This is a natural phenomenon of the Dharma Realm, a fundamental law that all beings must follow.

The Fragility of Our World

The orbit in which the Earth resides has remained consistent since the planet's inception, spanning countless, unrecordable days. Innumerable living beings have lived their lives according to this standard. The so-called proper path is the Earth's rotation, which does not deviate from this established orbit. Because of this trajectory, the Earth has developed its specific environment, climate, and natural ecology. Living beings on Earth have adapted their daily routines to this environment, leading to the creation of diverse cultures and nations. If the Earth were to deviate from its orbit, it would cause profound changes in the environment, climate, and natural ecology, posing a severe threat to all life on the planet. The extent of this impact depends on the degree of deviation; the greater the angle of deviation, the more significant the change. For humanity and all other life forms accustomed to the current way of life, such a shift is a grave threat. When we add the factors of human hearts and the laws of and cause and effect, a vicious cycle is created. This leads to various mutations and problems that arise one after another, leaving people physically and mentally exhausted, with illnesses manifesting in every corner of the world.

A Global Effort for Salvation

Humanity has always considered itself the most intelligent of all beings. Yet, when faced with these problems, we can only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. We are unable to find effective methods to counteract these issues. Consequently, national, social, and economic problems become intertwined, snowballing into ever-greater crises. The current global pandemic is a clear example of this. Humanity does not want this situation to continue, yet we are powerless to resolve it. We are forced to adapt to these changes in our daily lives, and this is the situation in which everyone currently finds themselves.

Practitioner Su discovered this problem and has been leading a salvation team to travel around the Earth, chanting Namo Amituofo. Under the guidance of Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, they have inspired the Bodhisattvas and virtuous beings of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss to participate in this activity. From the very beginning until now, the twenty-four-hour chanting has never ceased. The hope is to reverse the deviation of the Earth's orbit, allowing people's lives to return to normal as quickly as possible and ensuring that life is no longer under threat. This is the practical action that Practitioner Su and the assembly have silently dedicated to the Earth, an action that is beyond the capability of ordinary people.

The Compassionate Burden of Practitioner Su

The situation of Practitioner Su inviting spirits has been ongoing for nearly a month, and it continues to this day. This shows that the number of beings Practitioner Su is carrying for the sake of everyone is immense. If these beings were not on Practitioner Su, they would remain within the fourfold assembly of disciples, and the original problems would persist. When these beings are transferred to Practitioner Su, they enter a completely different environment—an environment of purification, , and vast mind-capacity. This allows the beings to enter a state of hibernation or stillness. This is the ability of Practitioner Su's body to transform the vengeful and resentful mindset of these external beings. For the beings, this is a positive and beneficial change. Eventually, they are invited out and sent to the Western Land of Dharma Nature, where they can ultimately be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. This series of transformations is only possible because they have encountered Practitioner Su.

The process of inviting out the beings from Practitioner Su's head has never stopped since it began. Fortunately, the condition of water leaking from the head has eased. However, the red rashes on the skin have also begun to leak fluid, which is because the state of the beings when they first entered Practitioner Su's body was related to water.

A Call to and Liberation

It is our sincere hope that under the influence of Practitioner Su, these beings can undergo their own transformation. They should realise that encountering this series of changes is not easy; they must cherish this opportunity, leave quickly, and stop being attached to the current situation of the fourfold assembly of disciples, which causes harm to Practitioner Su's body. Please act with Goodness.

Namo Amituofo.
