Consider the Earth as it moves along its orbit. It turns without pause, without a single moment of stillness. Because of this constant rotation, all living creatures upon the Earth are able to sustain their lives. Just as the planet moves, so too does the human mind. In our daily lives, our thoughts never cease; they are in a state of constant flux. Furthermore, the memories stored within our are continuously accumulating, layer upon layer, as we move through the cycle of existence.
The Restless Mind and the Storehouse of
The rising and setting of the sun serves as a vital reliance for countless creatures in the natural world. Throughout the incalculable river of life, we have spent countless ages under the light of this same sun. These phenomena have been this way in the past, and they continue to unfold in the present. As for the future, it remains within the realm of fixed laws and yet is also subject to change; it is something that only time will reveal.
This world is a place where the Buddha, the demonic forces, and all beings coexist. At this time, the only way to ensure that your Body-Mind-Spirit does not suffer is to rely upon Namo Amituofo. By doing so, you will find a true place of refuge. The mind that is caught in the cycle of rebirth is like a spinning wheel that never stops. When will it ever find a moment of true meditative concentration?
The Path of Liberation
Those who dedicate themselves to saving beings must keep their bodies in constant motion, yet their hearts remain unmoved. To alleviate the suffering of all beings, the teachings and lectures are delivered without pause. We guide all beings to practise the following:
Chanting the name of Namo Amituofo, which allows us to transform our karma rather than creating new, negative karma.
Performing prostrations to the Buddha, a humble act that purifies and mind.
Reciting the Sutras, which provides the wisdom necessary to navigate the world.
By chanting the holy name of Namo Amituofo, you can harmonise your Body-Mind-Spirit and the various beings residing within you. This provides both those beings and your own true self the precious opportunity to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Finding Stillness in the Midst of Motion
The interaction between our Six Roots and creates the Six Consciousnesses. This process turns incessantly, keeping us trapped within the six realms of existence. This mind is busy and turns incessantly; when will it ever find a moment of true meditative concentration? Those who have realised their true nature remain unmoved in their hearts while saving beings. Their bodies are always in motion, and their spirits never rest, for they understand that this is the time to help all beings leave suffering behind and find true happiness. May you find the stillness within the movement, and may your heart always return to the light of Namo Amituofo.
