The Unexpected Path to the Western Pure Land

An Interview with Osama bin Laden

Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre36 min read0 views

This is a record of an interview with Osama bin Laden, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. This account reflects upon his life and his transition from the cycle of rebirth to the Pure Land. Recorded by the chief writer, Venerable Shi Faru, on May 18, 2026.

Osama bin Laden speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am deeply grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for granting me this precious opportunity to be interviewed. I am currently residing in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

This place is somewhat different from what I had always envisioned as the 'abode of Allah.' This is the world created by Namo Amituofo. Many who knew me in my past life might find this confusing, and perhaps even distressing. After all, I was a devout follower of Islam. I believed that I should have arrived in the paradise of Allah, not a Buddhist heaven. Furthermore, the teachings of Islam reject all other religions. Yet, the reality is what it is, and I must speak the truth. Everything changed over a decade ago. A Buddhist practitioner named Practitioner Su saved me from the depths of hell and brought me to the Buddha hall. After confirming my identity as bin Laden, he helped me reach this luminous world, which is known as the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss."

A Surprising Destination

"Here, I have witnessed beauty that I had never imagined possible. This place is incredibly bright and pure, far surpassing the most beautiful mosques I ever visited in my life. It is so magnificent that, for a time, I truly believed this must be the wonderful world where Allah resides. However, after studying before the Buddha, I finally understood that this is the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Buddha-land created by Namo Amituofo.

For the vast majority of those who follow the Islamic faith, this is difficult to understand and even harder to accept. At first, I was also extremely astonished. I spent my entire life launching countless holy wars, yet in the end, I did not return to the place where Allah resides. This left me in a state of profound shock. After all, I had always firmly believed that Allah would lead me to the final destination of my soul."

The Rescue from the Hells

"However, after launching those many holy wars, I did not find peace; instead, I fell into the hells and suffered through endless, excruciating torture. This caused me to begin doubting Allah and the many doctrines of Islam. Why, after following the instructions of Allah and fighting to defend the orthodoxy of the faith, did I not receive the protection of Allah? While I was in the hells, such thoughts constantly haunted me. Coupled with the immense agony of the punishments, I became even more lost and confused, not knowing where to turn.

It was not until that golden light shone down upon me that I finally succeeded in escaping those sufferings. At first, I thought it was my own sincere calling that had prompted Allah to save me. Later, I came to understand that it was actually the Buddha’s light from Namo Amituofo shining upon me, pulling me out of the torments of hell. Only then was I able to arrive in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Today, I am finally able to speak to everyone as a spirit and share this experience of what happened after I passed away."

At that time, I was truly in despair. I never imagined that what awaited me was not the Lord I worshipped, but these terrifying blades, spears, horrific flames, and weapons that tore my entire body until I was unrecognisable.

I spent every day in agony, screaming, only to be blown away and then 'awakened' again. Just as I would regain and begin to understand my situation, I would be subjected to the tortures of hell once more and lose my life. It was a cycle that repeated endlessly, with no moment of respite.

This caused my faith in the Lord, and the Islamic belief I had held so firmly for years, to gradually waver. I thought to myself: 'I sacrificed so much to launch this holy war, and I died in the name of this holy war. Why, then, is the only thing that follows this suffering and punishment?' There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.

A Glimmer of Light in the Abyss

At the time, I found it impossible to accept. Because I did not understand the concept of repenting, I could not escape from hell. Just as I was suffering in the depths of agony, drifting in a state of mental confusion, I suddenly heard a distant yet clear sound of Buddha-name chanting. The sound of the Buddha-name called out to me, hoping to rescue me from that original hell space.

I did not hesitate for a moment to pray to the golden light, hoping to end all this suffering. In an instant, I arrived at the Buddha hall. This is a Buddha hall established by Practitioner Su through her practice and dedication. Here, one can see a bright magnetic field in this environment that is quite different; it is a space distinct from hell, and even in the human world, it is a rare place of purity and brightness.

Once Practitioner Su confirmed that I was indeed the Bin Laden who had passed, she guided me to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. In the blink of an eye, I, a lonely and helpless spirit suffering in hell, arrived in the infinitely beautiful Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Here, all suffering vanished without a trace, as if it were all a great dream. I could not help but repeatedly confirm to myself whether I had truly awakened from a nightmare or had simply entered another dream.

The Complexity of the Spiritual Universe

Before me appeared a very tall and radiant figure who looked extraordinary; later, I learned that this was of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I had never seen a Buddha, nor did I know what kind of existence a Buddha was. To me, any religion, theory, or concept that contradicted the monotheistic faith in the Lord was something that had to be erased. One could not worship any faith other than the Lord; one had to believe completely in the one true Lord to be a proper Muslim.

Now I know that this spiritual world is far deeper and more complex than I ever imagined. Spirits do not just exist in the spiritual world of the Lord, nor are they merely the souls of people after death. Everything in the world is filled with densely packed souls, and each soul is trapped within its own space, unable to escape.

Take me, Bin Laden, as an example. Long ago, when I was very young, the spirit within this body was already locked into the space of the brain, and in its place were vast crowds of demons. The factions and groups to which these demons belonged were not just one or two forces, but came from all corners of the universe, representing different types and factions of demons. Their agendas, personalities, and strengths varied slightly, and the spaces they lived in, their ages, and their levels of practice were vastly different. They came in large groups, occupying every part of my body—including my head, eyes, heart, ears, hands, and internal organs—all with a certain distribution.

The Hidden Inhabitants of the Human Body

There is also what is called the existence of spirits within the human body. This spirit is not just one's own single spirit; rather, every cell contains a vast number of spirits. These spirits come from the records of one's own spirit wandering and surviving in various spaces over many lifetimes. They are all spirits that have intersected with one's past. Because they cannot let go of their own spirits and have unfinished business, they gather together in a body like Bin Laden's, existing within the space of each cell, waiting for various opportunities to manipulate this body and produce different reactions.

During my life, when I was young, business did not truly interest me; instead, I was particularly interested in Islamic culture and the holy war. The real reason for this was the influence and control of the vast number of beings and demon crowds within me.

I naturally developed a longing for Islamic culture and sought to gain status and control most of the resources of the entire organization by upholding the monotheistic faith in the Lord. I launched wars against different Islamic factions and initiated wars and challenges against external forces and cultures; all of this was the result of the cooperation between the demon crowds and the beings within me.

The Illusion of Righteousness

This truly echoed my own character, personality, and emotions. When all these things aligned, various behaviors naturally manifested, and my life was built upon these countless manipulations and actions. At the time, the 'demon crowds within' helped me see and think about many issues. This made me perceive that other Muslim factions were inclined to cooperate with Western culture, and I saw flaws in their religious doctrines, which led me to want to compete with them or even wage war against them.

At the same time, this allowed me to see the problems of religious conflict, ethnic conflict, and the influence of external forces in the Greater Middle East, which led me to decide to take retaliatory actions against these external forces and cultures.

These 'demon crowds' made me misinterpret the classic doctrines and philosophy of the in the Quran, which I believed in. They caused me to maliciously misinterpret those warning sentences that were originally intended to counsel people not to commit sins. They allowed me to rationalize war, transforming the doctrine into an excuse to launch wars against groups or individuals who opposed Muslims or the Islamic faith. They allowed me to shape an appearance of 'righteous behavior' in 'defending the Islamic faith.' At the time, I was unable to perceive these situations. I believed that I was walking on the path of holy war my whole life, following the teachings of the Lord, and punishing those people and countries that violated the Lord's teachings. I held very hateful prejudices and views toward other regimes, cultures, and ideologies in this world.

The Power of Inclusivity

Although this also stemmed from the fact that other countries did indeed have aspects that were not in accordance with the laws of and cause and effect, I only learned after studying the Buddha's teachings that no matter how bad others are, or how many problems there are in the world, one must be inclusive. One must use the approach of 'thinking well, looking well, speaking well, being pure and Good, and hiding the evil while promoting the Good' to constantly tolerate the flaws and dark sides of the other party or different countries.

Only through inclusivity is there an opportunity to guide different countries and ethnic groups back to the right path. If one cannot be inclusive and instead adopts an attitude of criticism and blame, or even uses force to change the other party's behavior, causing them to feel fear, and negotiates with them through force—all such struggles and military actions will only cause the war and the front lines to expand and extend infinitely. In the end, there is no way to solve the problem at the root. And those who are sacrificed in the middle are none other than the people of both sides. The terrorist attacks I launched against the world were also direct attacks on civilians in different regions. In traditional war philosophy, this does not conform to modern war ethics. But at the time, I was controlled; what I thought and considered in my mind was only how to take revenge on other countries, insisting on using the 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' method to retaliate for the harm other countries had caused to the people of the Middle East. And this was also the flow of karma, so in the laws of karma and cause and effect, I did indeed successfully launch many terrorist attacks in various places.

This is also the reason why I was identified by other countries as the head of the world's primary terrorist group. Many people did not understand my behavior of harming civilians, believing that this was no longer war, but a terrorist act.

However, at the time, the demon crowds instilled beliefs in me, making me blindly believe that the people of these countries supported their governments' many actions and paid taxes to provide for their governments' international military operations; and these military operations did indeed cause much harm to our Islamic world. So at the time, I believed that the civilians of these countries could not be exempt from responsibility.

A Legacy of Regret

It was precisely this mental note that led me to begin indiscriminate attacks on civilians. This kind of surprise attack caused many innocent people to lose their lives without understanding the situation at all; and they were not necessarily supporters of the war effort, nor were they necessarily people who opposed the Islamic faith. But at the time, I could not understand this thoroughly. After all, my body and mind were entirely manipulated by the demon crowds; I only needed any reasonable excuse to launch attacks on Western countries.

I also suffered retribution and karmic clearing because of these wars and attacks, and at the age of fifty-four, I was shot and killed by the US military. I was not very surprised by the arrival of this day. After all, one would still lose one's life in war, and every Islamic holy warrior was prepared for this day. For this reason, I had long ago arranged the subsequent procedures; the successor and the third and fourth in line were all prepared to deal with the situation of the leader's death on the battlefield at any time.

For such arrangements, I feel very regretful. If the Al-Qaeda organization had disbanded after I passed away, that would have been the best thing. However, the continued struggle and even the 'Islamic State' that I later saw in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss continued to launch invasive terrorist attacks globally in the name of this 'holy war,' and even used my name to avenge me. These many names and absurd acts undoubtedly added to everyone's sins. In fact, these were all the result of the demon crowds attacking and controlling each other; to them, it was just a kind of fun, a farce. But for the people who actually carried it out and the people of many countries, this was undoubtedly a very painful behavior that required paying a heavy price. And the ethnic hatred, various negative emotions, and the world's perception of the Islamic religion that the two peoples have built up over a long time will all produce a stigma that is difficult to wash away.

Namo Amituofo.

This does not help with world peace or religious harmony. All these karmic debts will eventually return to be settled upon me. This truly makes me feel deep regret. I should not have trained such an organisation, I should not have allowed them to receive this kind of vengeful education, and I certainly should not have allowed them to travel across the world to launch holy wars. This has harmed countless people—different ethnic groups, different nations—but the greatest harm of all was to my own people and to me, the one who initiated the entire affair.

A Sudden in the Hells

Later, after I left this body and arrived in the hells, and after I met the so-called Judge of the Hells, I suddenly woke up. For most of my life, from a very young age, I was unable to act with autonomy; I lived in a state of confusion. I do not understand why, in this life, I did not simply pursue a proper business career instead of choosing to incite opposition between ethnic groups and religions.

In truth, the opposition between these ethnic groups, religions, and nations has been going on in the Greater Middle East for many years, and the complexity of the factions and the intervention of foreign powers far exceed that of other regions. This has a deep connection to the historical development of the Greater Middle East, involving various ethnic groups and ideologies, as well as the interests of religions, nations, and their people.

The Illusion of Choice

This was never something I could participate in and change. At the time, multiple national powers were themselves promoting their own ideologies in this region and had launched countless wars. Yet, I unhesitatingly approached the situation from the perspective of a Muslim and a fervent follower of the Islamic faith, and I influenced the subsequent developments.

Looking back, this was truly an unthinkable approach. Having suddenly awakened, I do not understand why I was so keen to do this, even to the point of launching holy wars and making enemies of most of the world's regimes. Because of this, I actively attacked civilians in different countries and launched terrorist attacks, both large and small. This certainly made me known to the world for a time and solidified my connection with the Al-Qaeda organisation.

The Futility of Holy War

However, after I no longer had a body, I suddenly understood a principle: none of this was necessary. I had cultivated so many killers and educated so many young people, leading them to become 'children of Allah.' I encouraged them to join the holy war without hesitation, to attack civilians and military institutions around the world, and even to sacrifice their own lives to launch and complete these holy wars. This was my method of managing an Islamic organisation over a long period. By absorbing and training young people, I made them believe that the current state and misery of their country were entirely caused by the ruthless wars of aggression waged by Western nations. Looking back, this was truly a very unwise approach, and it harmed many innocent lives.

I transmitted and instilled all my negative views into these young people, cultivating in them from a young age an extreme dissatisfaction with their environment and causing them to develop a deep-seated hatred for Western culture. At the same time, I made them firmly believe that as long as they sacrificed themselves and caused casualties or damage to the people of Western nations, it was the greatest act of filial piety to Allah and the most important repayment to the Lord.

The Destruction of a Generation

These terrifying beliefs of revenge and slaughter had a profound impact on the children. They received this indoctrination from a young age, and when the time was ripe, they were sent to various parts of the world to carry out their missions. These new-generation armed holy warriors each had their own skills; they knew how to break through blockades and hide among the crowds. They were also proficient in using lethal weapons like bombs and were experts in various armaments. Through the organisation's long-term training, they were able to penetrate deep into the population to cause maximum damage. The result of this not only harmed the people of Western nations, but the more cruel truth is that the lives of the people in Islamic countries who grew up in these organisations were, so to speak, strangled in the cradle.

From a young age, they received this indoctrination of deviant thoughts, brainwashing, and extreme concepts of revenge. For their precious lives, this was undoubtedly a destructive education. Their lives were henceforth filled with darkness; there was no room for kindness or tolerance, and they could not see the diversity of this world.

The Truth from the Western Land

The young holy warriors worshipped only Allah, taking Allah as the sole reason for their existence. By easily sacrificing their limited lives, they not only wasted a precious life, but more importantly, the karma of such slaughter forced them to suffer in space or go to the hells to receive punishment. This not only destroyed their lives but also destroyed the good destination for their spirits after their lives ended. They could only spend a long time in painful spaces, which is a very cruel practice for the 'children of Allah.' Now, as I look at the Earth from the Western Land, and as I look at these former holy warriors from Islamic countries, I can say with great certainty: not one of them has truly reached the world where Allah resides. Everyone is suffering punishment in the hells, and many have yet to escape even now.

These young, promising people, if they want to show their loyalty to Allah, could actually achieve great things. They could actively invest in national construction, learn the latest knowledge and technology, and seek effective ways to resolve religious conflicts through peaceful means, rather than using war to fight war. This is completely contradictory and leads to nothing. After arriving in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, at first, I was completely unwilling to look back at this exaggerated, nonsensical, and ridiculous past; after all, the karmic sins of slaughter I committed were too great, and the number of people affected was too many. After learning the Buddha’s teachings, I slowly came to understand that everything operates within the laws of karma and cause and effect. And now that I am accepting this interview, it is necessary to clarify this truth.

The Nature of Deviant Beliefs

In fact, extreme and radical people are everywhere in this world. Everyone receives different education, is exposed to different cultures, and faces different situations. Many radical and deviant thoughts will summon a great number of demon crowds and sentient beings to strengthen one's own radical and deviant beliefs. This radical and deviant heart does not distinguish good from evil based on different doctrines or religions, nor does it distinguish justice from evil based on different ideologies. It is not a matter of concluding that Western nations are evil and one's own country is righteous, or vice versa. This radicalism and deviance stem from an attachment to one side of things, as well as a very strong compulsiveness and exclusivity regarding one's own thoughts and . In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, all of this is understood in the heart, clear and vivid, and can be seen very clearly.

In Western nations, people indeed use selfishness, greed, and desire as their primary motivation, taking personal interest as the driving force for action. This is also an important source of motivation for the development and operation of Western society. But these things are essentially selfish; therefore, when one's mental note is deviant, it allows demon crowds to enter to interfere with and control oneself.

The Hidden Hand of Demon Crowds

The advanced technology and military power of today are actually under the control of demon crowds. The long-term practice of Western nations in using military sanctions and military confrontation against the world to pursue a balance of terror is, in reality, the result of the mutual struggle between different demon crowd forces. When this current situation affects the Greater Middle East and the Islamic world, a form of aggression and confrontation naturally arises. The various oppositions and wars in the Greater Middle East are also the result of control by demon crowds. Of course, this situation is not simply controlled by the demon crowds of Western nations, but is a comprehensive result naturally formed by all demon crowd forces operating in their own ways.

Therefore, this result is not to blame any one ethnic group or people, but to hope that everyone will recognise that as long as people act out of selfishness, for their own country, and prioritise their own considerations, there are demon crowds operating behind the scenes. The resulting confrontations, wars, or outcomes, regardless of which side suffers, are actually natural occurrences within the laws of karma and cause and effect. War is the Collective Karma of the people; it is a result formed by the karma that different people have created over immeasurable eons. Therefore, one should not continue to perpetuate hatred, and one should certainly not use this as a reason to expand the war.

The Path to Peace

The reason why demon crowds choose to control one group of people rather than others is also destined by the laws of karma and cause and effect. It is impossible to judge who is guilty based on the surface, and it is impossible to truly distinguish who is right and who is wrong. After all, everyone is 'in the world and cannot help themselves.' Without Buddhist education, no one can truly escape the fate of their own karma and the control of demon crowds; therefore, it is difficult to avoid the suffering of war.

In fact, everything in this world, whether it is religion or people, can coexist peacefully. Everyone is gathered together on this Earth under good Causal Conditions. Being able to gather in one country, or even together in one space, is also a form of destiny. At this time, if one can adopt a tolerant and friendly attitude, accept and communicate without any prejudice or subjective stance, and interact with different ethnic groups and religions, then these long-standing religious and war problems can be solved. This is actually the most fundamental method.

Of course, such a statement today may be difficult for those who are still suffering in the midst of war to understand. Too much hatred, too much national sentiment, and too much religious opposition have made it difficult for people to escape from this emotional predicament. But everyone must understand a fact: the reason it is difficult to escape is that the body has long been controlled by immeasurable and boundless demon crowds and spirits. This is the true scene that cannot be resolved.

At this time, if one wants to be able to alleviate or resolve such a predicament, one must understand this fact and think of a way out. And I must honestly tell everyone that the only one who can thoroughly understand this problem and propose a solution is the Buddhist education of Amitabha Buddha. Perhaps you are surprised by my statement—why is it not the teachings of Allah, but the Buddhist education of Amitabha Buddha? Why would I abandon the only Allah I believed in and speak words that seem to go against Islamic doctrine?

In truth, Namo Amituofo is not an idol to be worshipped, nor is He a spiritual leader distinct from Allah. Namo Amituofo represents the true path and the fundamental laws that govern the universe. He does not ask us to worship any idol; rather, He acts as a prophet, conveying the Truth through various forms of righteous knowledge and correct views. Since ancient times, we have always respected all prophets, viewing them as representatives of the Divine.

In reality, Allah is not a fixed, limited image or role. He is not the Allah understood through the limited perspective of human beings. Allah is omnipresent; throughout the entire universe, He is an eternal and unchanging existence. This existence represents the eternal, immutable truth of the universe's operation. Namo Amituofo is the very executor of this truth, a devout believer in this truth, and an existence identical to Allah. This is not about 'borrowing' a name to represent the Lord; this principle exists to prevent people from impersonating or replacing the Lord. However, the truth, righteous knowledge, and correct views of Namo Amituofo are perfectly aligned with the core philosophy of Allah. This is the universal principle. Although most Muslims may find this difficult to accept, as a Muslim myself, this is the most accurate fact I can possibly state.

The Unity of Truth

There is no need to analyze the differences between the Lord and the Buddha here. Under the framework of Truth, they are one, not two; they simply bear different names in different times, spaces, and environments. Yet, people, with their limited understanding, have divided the world's religions and doctrines into different names and viewed them as opposing entities. This is truly a great pity and a practice that contradicts the true teachings of Allah. A true Muslim must believe in the teachings of Allah. It must be understood that what Allah primarily wishes to help us with is to believe in His teachings and truly return to His embrace, rather than creating more opposition and conflict in this world.

The true Allah advocates for peace, beauty, and all virtues, helping people survive in this chaotic and cruel world. Respecting the teachings of Allah is equivalent to abiding by the universal principle. However, many years after the passing of the prophets, no one truly understands the teachings of Allah and the prophets anymore. At this time, Namo Amituofo has come from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss to Earth and is currently residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. He is here precisely to transmit the true universal principle, to expound the core philosophy of Allah, and to truly help people recognize and understand the authentic education that Allah wishes to bring to humanity. Under the guidance of Namo Amituofo, this education is called Buddhist education. In fact, Buddhist education is not a special religion; it is completely consistent with the teachings of Allah, with no difference whatsoever. It is the true method that allows beings to follow, believe, learn, improve their own destiny, and ultimately return to the embrace of Allah.

The Perfection of the Western Land

The Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is a world built upon the philosophy of Allah. Here, there is no illness or suffering, no competition, and no war. There are no undesirable or unpleasant events; everything happens according to one's heart. Everything one desires is available, and when one no longer desires it, it can be changed or executed according to one's own will. These are the true experiences that can only be enjoyed in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

At first, I did not understand or comprehend the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I was still exploring whether Allah also had such a world for me to follow and pursue. However, in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, by relying on the majestic power of Namo Amituofo and His Forty-eight Great Vows, I am able to freely travel to every corner of the universe and the world to visit different lands.

The Manifestation of the Heart

After visiting various places, I finally understood that all these worlds and lands are manifested by the heart. If the heart is pure and filled with Goodness, what naturally appears is a Buddha-land. If the heart is biased and evil, the scenes of hell will naturally manifest, and one must suffer in the painful world created by one's own heart. Therefore, if the heart truly follows the righteous path of Truth, one will naturally arrive at the land where Allah resides; the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is one such place. Because my heart was biased and evil, I could only rely on the help of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su to arrive at such a clean and beautiful world.

The fact that my heart led me to hell after I passed away is the most vivid example. My entire life was spent inciting resistance, competition, and struggle, harming countless people and hurting the citizens of other countries. All of this was caused by the bias and selfishness of my heart. Although there was control by demon crowds during the process, I cannot use this to shirk my responsibility, nor can I claim that my heart did not harbor these biased thoughts and personality traits. In fact, it was precisely because I had these thoughts and traits that the demon crowds and other beings were able to control me. This was the result of my personality being in sync with the demon crowds.

A Debt to Repay

This personality led me to suffer punishment in hell. Although the time spent suffering was not long, because Practitioner Su quickly saved me from hell, the sins I committed and the people I harmed in the past were not wiped clean just because I was rescued. These are karmic debts that must be repaid in the future.

When the time is ripe, I must continue to endure these pains. Now, in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have made a vow to be diligent in my practice and become a Buddha, so that I may truly have the opportunity to return to Earth to repay my countless sins. I hope that when I repay these debts, it will also be the time when those beings I harmed and killed can leave suffering behind and gain happiness.

Accepting this interview at the temple has truly fulfilled a great wish of mine. I hope that through this interview, connected Muslims can understand that becoming a leader in this world, or heading an organization—no matter what one does or what wars one initiates—there is a law of karma and cause and effect involved, and one must bear the consequences oneself.

The Futility of Conflict

In this world, no injustice or phenomenon can be resolved through war and force. Only through the core teachings of Allah—which is the Buddhist education promoted by Namo Amituofo—can these problems be truly changed and resolved.

Furthermore, everyone must truly awaken from this. Everyone should understand that no matter which religion in the world today, or any religious scripture, it was written in a past era, recorded and understood using the language of that time. For modern people, these are not forms that can be easily understood. Even if one can understand most of the content, some core philosophies and the most profound parts are inevitably influenced by the subjective thinking of modern people, who then interpret them according to their own imagination and understanding, ultimately failing to truly grasp the core content.

Now that Namo Amituofo is residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, He is able to clearly state the most authentic teachings that Allah wishes to give to people in a tone that modern people can understand. Therefore, Buddhist education is extremely rare and difficult to encounter. If you have an affinity with the Buddha's teachings, or if you can believe even a little bit of what I have said after reading this interview, I hope you will take the initiative to contact and learn the Buddhist education of Namo Amituofo.

This is not about making a choice between religions, but about using the most open mind to truly recognize the essence of this world and understand the mechanisms of how the world operates, so that one can get closer to the existence of Allah. If one only uses one's own concepts and subjectivity to recklessly speculate on the scriptures left by Allah, that is the greatest blasphemy against Allah. Therefore, all Muslims must understand this principle. There is too much chaos in this world, and there are both good and bad forces everywhere. If one only looks for faults, one will see problems everywhere. But if everyone understands my story—Bin Laden—they should know: looking at the bad, thinking of the bad, and initiating wars to create hatred, once one attracts spiritual attachment from demon crowds, the consequences are beyond one's control.

A Warning for the Future

When one's behavior becomes increasingly extreme and one's thoughts become increasingly negative, it creates various situations of opposition and confrontation, and these behaviors will all come with a price. I hope my story can serve as a warning to future generations. The current global situation is actually a continuation of the circumstances of that time, with an even more complex trend, and everyone must be vigilant.

War cannot be initiated lightly. Whoever initiates it will find it difficult to escape the punishment of hell in the end. Once people are killed, the pain they suffered at the moment of death must be endured in hell in exactly the same way, without the slightest deviation.

Today, opposition in the world is endless—from religious opposition, ethnic opposition, and opposition between different countries, to opposition created for political power and for respective ideologies; it is everywhere. I hope people will take me as the most typical example of a global agitator and be vigilant. I hope everyone will not repeat the mistakes of Bin Laden.

In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have understood that all of this is extremely foolish behavior. I hope that all of you still on Earth, although there is still much interference from demon crowds and control by other beings, can understand from this that initiating war and opposition is a very stupid act. I hope everyone will not let themselves commit boundless sins that lead to hell.

If there is no Practitioner Su to save you, and no Namo Amituofo to teach you these principles, it is hard to say how long you will suffer punishment in hell. I have seen many people already suffering in hell; I hope everyone can awaken as soon as possible.

If you have the opportunity to come into contact with the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and have the opportunity to learn the Buddha's teachings, you should be more proactive and strive to understand the principles taught by the Buddha. Only by truly avoiding this senseless war and this senseless confrontation can you be spared the suffering of hell. Namo Amituofo.

"Even today, many countries across the globe are plagued by conflict and contradiction, fueled by religious disputes, ethnic divisions, or differences in national policy, with people within their borders still waging war. To those deeply mired in such situations, I truly urge you: do not be controlled by the demon crowds. You are falling into their trap. Any opposition, any aggression, or even acts of violating other nations—you must understand that these are all natural manifestations within the laws of karma and cause and effect. Do not be deceived by the demon crowds. If you incite ethnic hatred, nationalistic fervor, or encourage people to retaliate against one another—or, like me, cultivate an entire nation's military-industrial complex and train young people to launch holy wars—the consequences and the will be absolutely severe.

The True Meaning of Faith

Therefore, I advise everyone that when studying religion and the cultures of this world, you must abide by the universal principle. If you launch wars in the name of your religion, or even harm other lives and people, it is a defamation of your own faith. Such actions cannot bring glory to the Creator; instead, they slander the very education of Truth, Goodness, and moral foundations that the Creator taught to the world.

The Creator wishes for people to live stable and happy lives. If people believe that sacrificing themselves or harming others will glorify the Creator and allow them to return to the Creator's side, then based on what I have seen with my own eyes, the reality is not so. Such actions only lead to suffering in the hells, an agony beyond description.

A Call to End the Cycle of Violence

Therefore, I urge the countries and peoples still waging war to stop as soon as possible. You should adopt a broad, inclusive heart to accept every ethnic group, religion, and culture. You should even more so study the Buddha’s teachings to understand the true meaning of the Truth and Goodness that the Creator originally passed down to humanity. Do not rely on your own interpretations, or use biased readings to falsely promote the Creator's teachings for the sake of personal gain, or you will invite consequences that are impossible to erase. The pain of this is something you will only truly understand once you have endured it yourself.

In the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have seen that the difference between the Buddha’s teachings and the current practice of Islam lies in the teaching of being entirely selfless for the sake of all beings, without distinguishing between 'you' and 'me,' and without mutual opposition. This is the teaching method that truly conforms to the universal principle, and it is consistent with the Creator's concept of counseling people toward Goodness.

The Misinterpretation of Divine Will

However, everyone must understand that when the Creator mentioned being able to act on the Creator's behalf to govern those who do not obey, it was meant as a reminder, not a command for people to harm one another. This world contains various ethnic groups, cultures, and religions. If everyone raises the banner of the Creator and refuses to recognize the other, then infinite conflict will arise between different Islamic sects and ethnic groups. I ask you: who can truly be certain that they are acting entirely according to the Creator's will, and who is not?

Therefore, the true meaning of the Creator's doctrine is compatibility, inclusiveness, and friendly peace; it contains no force or war.

The Magnificence of Buddha’s Teachings

The Islamic scriptures do not fully point out the situation of the demon crowds and the beings within our bodies, but the Buddha’s teachings explain these matters very thoroughly. This is one of the reasons why people should study the Buddha’s teachings. Practitioner Su follows the Buddha’s teachings, bringing Namo Amituofo to the Earth to save beings across all spaces. He has also saved many spirits who passed away in wars, helping them to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, sparing them from suffering in the various spaces and the tortures of the hells. This is something that only a practitioner with great can achieve.

It is because of this selfless dedication—saving people of all nations without discrimination—that Practitioner Su has moved Namo Amituofo to come to Earth at this time to help people escape suffering. Everyone must understand: Namo Amituofo does not have any concept of race or ethnic division. Namo Amituofo is the Buddha that everyone should follow; He is the supreme prophet and wise person. He is the one whom everyone needs to pray to and learn from.

A Final Plea for Harmony

Therefore, to all people of the Islamic faith, to all Muslims: I hope you can open your hearts and learn the Buddha’s teachings with a humble and modest attitude to understand these contents. Everyone should learn how to help society and maintain harmony with one another so that society can develop in a friendly manner, rather than in opposition.

The opportunity for Namo Amituofo to come to Earth this time is extremely magnificent. Everyone should seize this opportunity to break free from religious prejudice and learn the Universal Principles and the righteous path of this world.

In this lifetime, I provided a poor example for everyone, but having the opportunity to speak these words after my passing is my hope that you will use my life as a mirror and not repeat my mistakes. In this way, my life in this world will not have been in vain. I hope that those who have karmic affinity with me can believe what I have said, believe in my sincerity toward the Creator, and believe in my respect and admiration for Namo Amituofo.

I am grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for calling upon me and allowing me to be interviewed. In the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have already let go of everything from the past. Bringing it up again now is simply because I hope that everyone can gain some help from it; this is my small way of making amends for the social chaos I created in the past. I hope everyone can let go of hatred, let go of opposition, and let go of the misunderstandings between one another. I hope everyone can let go of the reasons that allow the demon crowds to control you.

If a country can flourish and develop, free from disaster and war, only then can it truly demonstrate the value of the Creator caring for the Creator's people, and only then can more people believe in the Creator and the universal principle.

I am filled with Dharma and gratitude for this interview, and I hope that those with karmic affinity will have the chance to hear these heartfelt words of mine. I wish everyone the opportunity to study the Buddha’s teachings. I hope everyone can come to know Namo Amituofo, know this great prophet, know this follower of the universal principle, and the supreme representative of the Creator.

Namo Amituofo.
