Recorded on May 26, 2024
Recorded and transcribed by Namo Amituofo’s disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
The winter sun is something that all beings eagerly anticipate. Although the air may still carry a biting chill, the sun is filled with a brilliant, golden light. When the hearts of people are touched by this winter sun, the coldness within them is dispelled, and they begin to feel a renewed sense of vitality and life.
The Radiance of
At the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre, because Namo Amituofo truly abides here, humanity has found a profound source of hope. Through this connection, one can attain rebirth in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss and finally step off the endless wheel of the cycle of rebirth. The suffering of the cold winter is thus transformed into the warmth of a flourishing spring.
The light of Namo Amituofo shines throughout the entire realm of emptiness. It supports the work of Practitioner Su as he subdues demonic enemies. Countless beings have received this illumination, and they no longer need to fear the interference or attacks of the demon crowds. This is because the demon crowds themselves have been transformed by the Buddha-light, choosing to surrender and take refuge under the throne of Namo Amituofo.
A Sanctuary of Hope
Today, the presence of Namo Amituofo at Hsiang Kuang is the greatest blessing for all beings who have karmic affinity with this centre. It provides the rare opportunity to transcend the limitations of ageing and illness, to achieve liberation from life and death, and to ensure that one’s spirit attains rebirth in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The winter sun shines upon the earth, but the Buddha-light of Namo Amituofo shines into the hearts of people and reaches even the darkest spirits dwelling deep beneath the ground. For aeons beyond counting, these spirits have been trapped in the Demon Realm, unable to see the light of day. Now, they have received the illumination of the Buddha-light, and the energy within that light provides them with the strength they need to change.
The Collective Vow of Salvation
Through the of Practitioner Su, countless spirits are being saved. Both the demon crowds and other sentient beings are receiving this deliverance. If these demonic beings can truly repent, they are able to leave their suffering behind. This is the manifestation of Namo Amituofo in the human world.
Practitioner Su at Hsiang Kuang has vowed to save those in the human world while simultaneously rescuing the demon crowds. Namo Amituofo accompanies Practitioner Su at every step, subduing demonic enemies and guiding them to surrender. Together, Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, Practitioner Su, the salvation team, and the fourfold assembly work in unison to help all beings attain rebirth in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Namo Amituofo.
