The Truth Within the Black Hole

This interview was recorded on May 29, 2018, at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. Disciple Haize, a monastic, sought insights from Venerable Ariya, a being from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss who currently protects Practitioner Su. The discussion explores the nature of black holes and the mechanics of spiritual deliverance across the universe.

Venerable Ariya speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am Venerable Ariya, assigned to the 347th position. I was born in India in 136 BCE, which is approximately 2,154 years ago, during the Western Han Dynasty of China. At that time, the Buddha’s teachings were flourishing in India, and many practitioners were able to attain the fruits of the path. Although the Pure Land teachings were not yet widespread, there was a specific lineage that followed the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and focused exclusively on chanting the name of Namo Amituofo.

A Journey Through Time and Space

"In those days, because the Western Pure Land was described in the sutras as being so magnificent, it was referred to as the Holy Land, and the Buddha-light was called the Holy Light. I was fortunate enough to specialise in this Dharma gate at that time. Through the practice of Buddha-recitation samadhi, while sitting in meditation, I received the compassionate guidance of the Buddha. I ascended the lotus throne and, in an instant, arrived at the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. That was over two thousand years ago. After all these years, the changes in the human world I have witnessed since descending this time are truly astonishing!

"Recently, by the grace of the Buddha’s compassion, Practitioner Su gave us the opportunity to participate in the morning walking meditation and the subsequent deliverance. We were fully prepared. Having gained experience over the past two days, we have become accustomed to the polluted atmosphere of the worldly realm. Our physical strength has adapted, and our speed has increased significantly. The procession of deliverance was vast and grand, yet perfectly orderly. As soon as the Buddha-music began, we flew directly away with Practitioner Su.

Beyond the Physical Sky

"In the vast void, the light radiating from Practitioner Su illuminated the darkness. It was also the location where everyone gathered after dispersing. There are spaces within spaces. In the sky as seen by the physical eyes of humans, there are other layers of dimensions. Just as one is above the clouds when travelling in an airplane, the places we reached were far beyond the altitude any aircraft could ever attain. The universe contains many energy fields. Wherever there is energy, there is the existence of life. Because the sources of energy differ, they emit different colours and light rings. This is why the extraterrestrial bodies captured by various researchers have such diverse shapes and atmospheres.

"To people, a black hole is an alluring mystery that transcends the limitations of time and space. In reality, it is a cluster of colour, and the vortex shape seen by the physical eye is a manifestation of an energy field. A powerful, concentrated force causes the surrounding magnetic fields to aggregate into a vortex. Why does such a force exist? Countless scientists and astronomers have been exploring this mystery. The reason lies in the infinite, great compassionate vow-power—a phenomenon created and summoned by a force of ultimate purity and goodness.

The Secret of the Black Hole

"Inside the black hole, it is actually the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where every wish is fulfilled! All the beauty there can be seen and experienced; it is beyond what human thought can imagine, yet it is so natural. Such a land of ultimate bliss, if not for the guidance of Namo Amituofo, could not be reached by breaking through the powerful energy barrier surrounding it, whether from this world or another. Our entry and our descent this time were both led by Namo Amituofo. We did not explore the subtle relationships within it, but today, through this opportunity, I have gained a new realisation. Regarding Namo Amituofo, I can only offer praise upon praise!

"The forty-eight vows of Namo Amituofo encompass the true energy of this universe. Under the blessing of the Buddha’s power, those who truly practise and verify the teachings can naturally attain these abilities. To the average person in the human world, these abilities are called 'supernatural powers.' Being able to know many things that others cannot is a natural manifestation of the nature of things. It is not forced or added from the outside; it is a natural ability inherent in the true nature, revealed after the internal energy is purified in accordance with the vow-power of Namo Amituofo. It can be said that this is beyond the scope of human cognition—it is a teaching that is difficult to believe, yet it is the truth.

The Capability of Practitioner Su

"Practitioner Su, who is before us, possesses such abilities. In fact, the Buddha-light of Namo Amituofo has long since merged with the light ring Practitioner Su attained through her own practice and verification. This allows her to break through the protective layer of the black hole's gravity and enter the Western Pure Land, enabling her to come and go freely. Of course, for the Dharma Body of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su, distance is not an issue. They can bring the Western Pure Land right before one's eyes. In fact, even when it is right before one's eyes, it is still a vast distance away.

"Naturally, in such an environment, the extraterrestrial planets, alien bodies, and alien beings in the starry sky are also those we pass by and can take along with us—these are the subjects of our deliverance. The opening of space is not limited to the human world. The Buddha-name resounded through the void as Practitioner Su passed by. At that moment, the outer space of the universe was also opened! This is truly inconceivable. The scenes occurring in that space were like different plays being performed, filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. What they all had in common was the consequence of suffering. It turns out that suffering is not only in the human world; it is the truth of the entire universe.

A Universal Deliverance

"The spirits in the outer space of the universe had never before experienced being illuminated and saved by the Buddha-light. However, that warm and bright radiance is exactly what all spirits need. Many extraterrestrial spirits were thus saved, freed from their dimensions and darkness, and entered the Western Pure Land! It is impossible to count how many layers of space and time were broken through, or how many spirits from outside the universe were sent into the Western Pure Land—it is beyond calculation! The measurement of time in each dimension is different, but the need for deliverance from suffering is urgent throughout the space of this universe.

"Today, outside the Dharma assembly for deliverance in the worldly realm, there was a large circle of bright light accompanied by smaller lights flickering in the void. That was the trace left behind as Practitioner Su and we, the Venerable Ones, flashed across the sky. Namo Amituofo."
