The Truth of the Universe and the Mysteries of the Human Body
A Dialogue with Namo Amituofo
Recorded by Venerable Haize
The Infinite Layers of Existence
At the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, the profound truth of the universe is being revealed, and the mysteries of the human body are being unravelled. We humbly ask Namo Amituofo for His compassionate guidance.
Namo Amituofo teaches us that existence is composed of infinite, overlapping layers. These layers stretch across time and space, through countless generations and eras. Throughout history, there have been countless ancestral masters and virtuous beings who have walked this path. If we were to count the spirits that have traversed this cycle of rebirth, they would be as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges.
Today, this mystery is finally being resolved. We have come to understand that from the very moment our spirit first came into being, every experience has been recorded. Regardless of the physical form we take in this life, or the specific path we follow through the six realms of existence, every detail is preserved.
The Eternal Storehouse of
Every action we take, every place we visit, and every situation we encounter is etched into our being. Consider the following aspects of our daily existence:
- What we do and what we see.What we think and what we create.What we hear and what we smell.What we taste, touch, and feel.
Everything is stored within ; not a single detail is missing. These experiences remain hidden within us, yet they manifest when the conditions are right. When they are hidden, we may feel nothing, but this does not mean they have vanished. They remain, waiting, and as we continue to act, we continue to accumulate more. When the time for arrives, the debt is settled, and the spirit finds peace. Whether the result is good, evil, or pure, we must eventually experience the consequences of our own actions.
The Interconnectedness of Body, Mind, and Spirit
Any illness or physical change we experience is a reflection of the heart and a response from our cells. This interaction is as inseparable as a shadow following an object. The moment we are stirred by an external event, we are receiving the fruits of our past karma. This process is precise and absolute; it originates from within our own body, not from the outside world.
There is a subtle, constant connection between our body, mind, and spirit. They are mutually linked and interactive. When one part moves, the whole is affected; when one part is still, the whole finds stillness. If you wish to achieve true purity, you must let go of all desires. You must cultivate a state of and no-thought, viewing all beings as one.
The Path to and the Universal Principle
This is not merely empty talk; to achieve this state, you must practise. It is through your practice that you will gain insight and understand the philosophy of the . If there is any bias or selfishness in your heart, you are not yet in a state of oneness, and you will remain bound by the laws of karma and cause and effect.
Within every cause, there is an effect, and within every effect, there is a cause. This cycle constructs the various forms of the six realms of existence. Although the external forms differ, the within remains the same. It follows us everywhere, without the slightest omission. The mysteries of the human body are solved when we realise that this applies to all beings in the six realms, whether in this world or another.
Though the forms of life may differ, the underlying truth remains unchanged. Because the heart is the same, the messages between all beings can be communicated. Regardless of national boundaries, physical forms, races, or languages, the signals of the heart remain constant. This is the Truth. Time and space are, in reality, fused into one. When you reach this state of pure, unblemished awareness, you have realised your true nature—your original face, which is empty, silent, and transparent. By responding to the needs of all beings, you can manifest countless forms and create infinite Dharma methods. The truth of the universe, which is the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, is contained within this. To master this, one must conquer , see one's original nature, and verify the Truth. Only by thoroughly understanding these principles can one truly attain the perfection of Buddhahood.
