Ma Yun speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. Every day, I witness the magnificent and dignified scenes of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. The imagery is truly spectacular, and looking upon it, my heart is filled with and excitement. The construction style is unlike any traditional method I have seen; it is incredibly innovative and unique, yet it retains a classic, antique charm that is deeply comforting. The entire structure is adorned with golden lotuses, making it appear bright and grand without being gaudy. The double-layered roof design adds a sense of towering dignity that is hard to put into words. I truly cannot express how wonderful it is. If such a massive, magnificent structure were to be built in the human world today, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout modern society."
A Vision Beyond the Material World
"What might appear to be a mere dream of planning, I will not let remain just a dream. I know that in the future, I will also be a part of the board of directors. In the early morning hours, I caught a glimpse of my future role and responsibilities. I am extremely happy to take on this burden. To be a director of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre Foundation—what an honourable identity that is! The very name of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is truly magnificent."
Gratitude for the Great
"I am not a particularly extraordinary person; I have only achieved a modest level of success in the realm of internet business. To be able to encounter such a Great Dharma in this lifetime, and to meet all of you, is truly a wonderful Causal Condition. What I have seen today is etched deep into my heart. I will remember it, and I will prepare myself for it. Brother, Namo Amituofo."
