The Truth of the Human World: A Discourse by Namo Amituofo

The Illusion of the Human World

Teachings from Namo Amituofo: The existence of spirits and ghosts has been a subject of discussion in the Saha world for a very long time. It is a belief that has been passed down through generations, serving as a refuge for many who seek meaning in their lives. Yet, throughout the long passage of time, the true nature of this existence remains unknown to most. People often ask: From where do we come when we are born? To where do we go when we die?

Even for those who hold a sincere faith, the heart often remains filled with anxiety and fear. When the moment of death arrives, the faith one has held may not be enough to steady the mind. At the very instant of passing, the soul enters a transitional state, yet it fails to perceive the ultimate truth. Thus, one passes through the human world without truly understanding its nature or the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way.

The Necessity of Purification

In this single lifetime, how much do you truly cherish? It is not about clinging to worldly emotions or attachments; rather, it is a tragedy to neglect the cultivation of your wisdom. You have the potential to reach Awakening, yet you remain lost in the dust of confusion. The presence of spirits and ghosts is real, but it is difficult to perceive the true purity of the Dharma Realm while trapped in such confusion.

The purification of your spirit requires a state of emptiness. The purification of your consciousness requires a heart that is peaceful and free from disturbance. This high level of purification is not merely achieved through the stillness of formal Meditation; it is an Awakening that occurs even amidst the movement of daily life, allowing one to clearly understand the nature of this world.

Transcending the Ten Dharma Realms

To learn the profound path of Meditation, one must truly enter the gate of practice. When you walk through this world, you should be aware of the spiritual presence that surrounds you. To see the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss clearly, and to understand the nature of spirits and ghosts, is a sign of progress. Even more significant is the ability to transcend the cycle of birth and death entirely.

The power to save all beings is truly unique. When the spirits and ghosts kneel in reverence and the suffering souls cry out, you will understand the gravity of this work. Within the ten directions of the Dharma Realm, there exist spirits and ghosts; however, beyond these ten realms, there is only the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

The Endless Cycle of Suffering

I have come today to perform the Chao Du, to resolve all suffering and bring peace to those who are lost. Within the ten directions, there is an endless cycle of rebirth. The suffering within these karmic paths is immeasurable and difficult to quantify. When one is reborn, the memory of the past is forgotten, yet the heart remains restless and uneasy.

If the spirit truly remembered the suffering of its past karma, who would willingly remain in this cycle? The soul is often covered in the heavy dust of karma, blinded by its own ignorance. Many are destined for the hells, and the souls of the Saha world are filled with sorrow. The body is burdened by a hundred illnesses, suffering through the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Whether one is rich or poor, all are trapped in the suffering of the Body-Mind-Spirit.

The Eternal Light of Namo Amituofo

None can escape this suffering unless they look within. Every path you take is one you have chosen for yourself. Are you walking in the light? This, too, is something you must seek for yourself. I am here now, and my light is present. I bring my children with me, and my light shall never be extinguished.

Follow the path of the Buddha, and you will find the light of Infinite Life and the light of Infinite Wisdom. This is the only true path. To learn my Dharma path is to learn the truth of emptiness and the presence of true, pure wisdom. The Prajna wisdom is difficult to describe in words, but you must seek the skills to return to your original nature. Walk the path of saving beings in the ten directions and help the world transcend the dust of this realm.

I am here now, teaching you the true path. Do not let your life deviate from the right way; focus only on the path of Awakening. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Shi Faxi.
