The True Healer: A Message from President Zhao Puchu
The Thirty-Seventh Letter of President Zhao Puchu
8 September 2017
The Rhythms of Life and the Onset of Disease
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump. The heart contracts, and blood is squeezed through the vessels, beginning its journey to every corner of . It flows through every organ, nourishing every part of our physical form. Originally, this flow is smooth and unobstructed. However, suddenly, a mutation occurs in a certain location. The speed of the blood flow begins to slow down. Upon examination, a doctor discovers that cells have undergone a transformation. The diagnosis is a tumour. When the owner of the body receives this news, they are first struck by shock, and then they fall into a state of desolation. They are forced to face the reality of medical treatment, attempting to manage the malignant cells and the tumour that has taken root within them.
The Deeper Truth Behind Physical Suffering
Have you ever paid close attention to medical reports? With the development of modern social civilisation, it seems that human beings are contracting illnesses with increasing frequency. This is how the situation is explained from the perspective of worldly medicine. However, the Buddha’s teachings reveal the true nature of these events to us. The greed and selfishness within the human heart, and even various deep-seated bad habits, serve to strengthen the growth of these malignant cells. Consequently, the body naturally undergoes pathological changes. The general public often refers to this as receiving the consequences of one's actions, or the laws of . Indeed, this is precisely the case.
The Body as a Dwelling for Countless Spirits
The Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre has unveiled the mystery of the human body. It turns out that all the cells within our bodies serve as a dwelling space for countless sentient beings. Our are densely packed throughout our entire body. There is not a single gap that is not occupied by these spirits. They are capable of speech, and they can communicate with one another. The moment you become angry, they clap their hands and cheer, saying, 'We have waited a long time for this moment.' Following this, they begin to launch an attack from within your very cells, proceeding step by step in the shadows.
The Capacity of the Body and the Weight of Karma
Do you know how vast the capacity of your body truly is? Beings from many lifetimes past still reside within you. They are waiting for a single moment of weakness or a lapse in your judgement to begin their assault. The attack might be mild, or it might be severe; it all depends on the state of your internal fluctuations. If your mind is turbulent, you provide them with the conditions to cause you harm.
A Path to Healing Beyond Medicine
The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre has unlocked the mystery of the body. Through the process of resolving conflicts with your karmic creditors and inviting these beings to leave your body, the creditors are gradually guided out. As they depart, your illnesses naturally begin to heal. This is a truly inconceivable method of healing. It does not rely on any worldly medicine, nor does it require you to lie in a hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling day after day. What is required is your faith in the Buddha and your sincere repenting towards these sentient beings.
Awakened Being and the Infinite Potential of the Buddha’s Teachings
This skill of healing is something that everyone can learn. The of Namo Amituofo is vast and makes no discriminations. As long as you are willing to listen to the Buddha’s teachings, to practise truly, to let go truly, and to change truly, then becoming an Awakened being is something that belongs to every single person. This skill requires all of us to carry it forward together. Studying the Buddha’s teachings should not lead to illness; rather, studying the Buddha’s teachings should make one youthful, radiant, and filled with inexhaustible energy. Throughout my life, I did not have the good fortune to learn such a skill. I hope that every friend who is still in this world today can seize the opportunity to visit the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, bring all these skills home, and allow the power of the Buddha’s teachings to shake the entire world.
