The Vision of a Blissful Earth
An Interview with Venerable Changgao
Recorded on February 28, 2023
This interview with Venerable Changgao was recorded on February 28, 2023, by the chief writer, Shi Fajing. Venerable Changgao, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre and now resides there, shares profound insights on the spiritual transformation of our planet into a 'Blissful Earth' through the ongoing work conducted at the Centre.
Venerable Changgao speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. When one stands quietly outside the Earth and gazes upon it, one cannot help but be struck by its profound beauty. It is a cradle for an immense variety of life. If this Earth could also become a place of no suffering—a land of ultimate bliss—then all the living creatures, human beings, and spirits residing here would be truly blessed.
The Possibility of Transformation
This vision is not an impossibility. When Practitioner Su conducts Chao Du for the various spaces of the Earth, I have witnessed that this transformation is indeed a potential reality. However, before the Earth can undergo such a fundamental change, the most critical element that must be altered is the human heart. The transformation of the human heart can drive the surrounding magnetic fields to shift in harmony with it.
As I observe Practitioner Su performing Chao Du across different dimensions, I see that each location possesses a unique magnetic field, and the spaces within them are entirely distinct. Yet, the root of everything—the origin of all these conditions—stems from the 'heart' and the state of our own minds."
The Power of the Buddha-Name
"Practitioner Su’s enters these various spaces within the Earth, bringing the sacred name of 'Namo Amituofo' into every corner. Even in the most dense and hidden spaces, the Buddha-name is introduced. Even for those spirits who are not yet willing to depart, once the Buddha-name enters their space, they are able to hear the sound of the Buddha's name chanting. They are touched and transformed by the power of the Buddha.
In this way, every time Practitioner Su conducts a global Chao Du for the Earth's spaces, he is effectively infusing the planet with the sacred name of Namo Amituofo, purifying these spaces one by one. This purification of space, in turn, influences the living environment of the human world. When life is filled with the presence of the Buddha and the spirit of Goodness, every individual's mental note begins to shift. This positive change then reflects back onto the Earth, assisting the planet in continuing its journey toward becoming a place governed by the Buddha’s teachings and the spirit of Goodness."
Addressing the Collective of Killing
"Today, the space that Practitioner Su’s Body entered was filled with the heavy, dark energy of killing karma created by human beings. Within this space, the spirits of countless slaughtered animals and sea creatures were gathered. Their resentment was palpable—a thick, suffocating cloud of bitterness—all waiting for the right moment to seek revenge against humanity.
This powerful energy of resentment can influence the entire Earth, altering its magnetic field. We can see the effects clearly: so many human hearts are influenced by this resentment and hostility. The most obvious reaction is an uncontrollable, irritable temperament. This is difficult to explain through logic alone, but the spirits of the animals consumed by humans remain within their bodies, and their collective resentment exists in a specific space within the Earth. It is the collective karma of the people of Earth, and it is slowly, bit by bit, preparing to seek retribution. The environmental disasters and climate changes we see today are almost all closely related to this collective karma of humanity."
Purification and the Path Forward
"Practitioner Su’s Dharma Body brings golden light to illuminate these spaces of collective human karma. The spirits within these spaces are constantly being transformed. Many of the resentful spirits, who originally carried intense hatred and a desire for vengeance, begin to be purified once the Buddha-name enters. Their hatred diminishes, and one can clearly see that the once-intense, dark energy field begins to shift and soften.
The entire Earth is filled with countless spaces. Whether they are spaces created by human karma or spaces where various spirits reside, these innumerable dimensions are being continuously purified, and then more purified, under the Chao Du work of Practitioner Su’s Dharma Body.
Every human being has the potential to resolve to change their heart and mind. By doing so, they will naturally drive the transformation of the Earth's magnetic field. With the help of Practitioner Su, the Earth is slowly, bit by bit, turning in a positive direction. I hope that one day, it will truly transform into a Blissful Earth, free from all suffering.
Namo Amituofo."
