When we resolve the conflicts with our , can truly heal.
Every drop of our experience is governed by the laws of karma and cause and effect. If we do not resolve these debts, our karmic creditors will follow us from life to life, dragging us back into the suffering of samsara. We must be compassionate, saving both ourselves and our karmic creditors. The question remains: do you truly believe in the Buddha?

Namo Amituofo, in His infinite compassion, has unlocked the secret treasury of the universe. Whether sentient or insentient, all possess a spirit, and our cycle of birth and death is entirely our own responsibility. How terrifying, how truly terrifying it is!

You must believe in these true words. Those of us in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss do not speak falsely. We are only waiting for you to return home to the West.
