Namo Amituofo’s discourse:

The Harmony of the True Self

Those who achieve the unity of Body-Mind-Spirit find that their body, heart, and spirit become a single, unified entity. They are able to coordinate perfectly, sharing a common consensus to accomplish tasks, or to uphold the with unwavering devotion. Furthermore, when the true self is able to take charge, the physical body can act in accordance with the guidance of the spirit to achieve one's goals.

The Technology of the Awakened

For those who have realised their true nature, this unity of Body-Mind-Spirit reaches a level that can be described as a technology within technology. The spirit resides within , and simultaneously, the body contains countless manifestations, each possessing its own sensitive awareness. These countless manifestations are usually stored within the body, waiting to be utilised by the true self. When the true self issues a command, these manifestations act in accordance with its intent, multiplying into countless others, and then into countless more. Because of this, these countless manifestations can appear to carry out the work of saving the world and rescuing sentient beings. This demonstrates that for those who have realised their true nature, the unity of Body-Mind-Spirit functions as the most advanced technology in the universe.

This indicates that the countless beings within one's body—including one's original , attached spirits, and demon crowds—have finally accepted the resolution of their past grievances. This transformation often occurs through the collective power of chanting Namo Amituofo, or through individual practice. As one chants, the heart and spirit become pure, and one may even enter a state of deep peace and wisdom.

The Path to the Western Land

The unity of Body-Mind-Spirit is the direct result of diligent practice and the constant chanting of Namo Amituofo. Through this, one has successfully transformed karma, turning the grievances of karmic creditors into pure karma, and has changed their personality traits until they are no longer bound by the ego. By doing so, one ensures that karmic creditors have no opportunity to manifest, and the cycle of seeking revenge and repaying grievances is brought to an end. This practice transforms the suffering of aging, sickness, and death into a state of eternal vitality, where the spirit does not die but instead enters the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. It allows the true self to take command, to seek out Namo Amituofo at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre—where Namo Amituofo is residing here—and to enter the temple to pay respects and seek the . With this, one holds the hope of rebirth in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss and fulfills the vow to return home. Namo Amituofo.
