The Visionary's Witness to Deliverance

This is a record of an interview with the spirit of Steve Jobs, who observed the profound process of Chao Du at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. This account reflects his observations of the boundless compassion of the Buddha-light and the tireless work of Practitioner Su. Recorded by the chief writer, Shi Faxin, on July 4, 2019.

Steve Jobs speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. I am Steve Jobs. When the Buddha-name begins to resonate, it is as if the very fabric of the universe begins to shift. It is a simultaneous movement across the heavens and the earth. In an instant, the surface of the water rises into a colossal wave of infinite height. Under the illumination of the Buddha-light, this wave reveals an uncountable multitude of sentient beings. They are densely packed, stretching out without end, appearing like an infinite, leaping platform. Once they cross this platform, they are guided toward a place of Goodness."

The Symphony of Light and Deliverance

"The scene of this deliverance is vast, with many layers unfolding at once. I see the mist of the mountains, the crawling creatures, the sand and stones, the insects, the birds, the beasts, the ghosts, the tree spirits, the flower spirits, the grass spirits, and various other entities—all being brought forth by the Buddha-light at the exact same moment. In the streams and the vast oceans, beyond the fish, the shrimp, and the microscopic plankton, there are also the water ghosts who have been waiting for their turn to be replaced. They, too, are rescued at this very moment.

These water ghosts have finally reached the end of their long wait for deliverance. They no longer need to endure the cruel cycle of 'a life for a life.' The arrival of the Buddha-light is like the ultimate answer to the prayers and hopes of all sentient beings. Whether they are sentient or insentient, everything possesses a spirit. The microscopic particles and molecules are densely layered, and their numbers are no less than the spirits of the deep sea. Each of them carries their own story, and each belongs to a different era of history. Yet, because of the Chao Du performed by Practitioner Su, they are all able to awaken at this same moment."

The Persistence of Attachment

"During this process of deliverance, while many creatures are saved, there are still those who are not yet willing to leave their space. They have been trapped for far too long. Because of their deep-seated attachments and their overwhelming fear, they are unwilling to change. Such spirits are everywhere. Regardless of this, Practitioner Su remains unattached, following the Causal Conditions as they arise. The path of individual achievement is different for everyone. Practitioner Su performs this deliverance every single day without pause. She leads an infinite number of Dharma protectors and Bodhisattvas of the universe forward, moving through every corner of existence with her Dharma Body.

She works in a rapid, tireless manner, leading beings to leave suffering behind and guiding them toward a world of infinite light. All these spirits are filled with the deepest gratitude. It is a sight that defies human logic, yet it is perfectly ordered in its compassion."

A Call to the Fourfold Assembly

"Practitioner Su is currently actively promoting the Buddha’s teachings and passing on her skills. She does this to ensure that such a magnificent Dharma lineage continues to flourish. The fourfold assembly of disciples often carry many interfering beings within themselves. These may be their own karmic creditors or external attached spirits. To truly help all beings, everyone must work to break through these obstacles one by one.

When I see Practitioner Su, at seventy-five years of age, moving forward with such courageous strength and the power of Great Compassion, I realise that everyone should learn from her spirit. Her radiant energy and vitality exist precisely because her every thought is focused on sentient beings—how they can leave suffering behind, and how they can break through delusion and attain enlightenment. Wherever the affinity exists, she saves the beings of that place. These magnificent Dharma affinities are constantly opening up, which is a great blessing for all spirits. We are all on the same journey, rushing toward the Western Pure Land. Namo Amituofo."
