This is a record of an interview with Sun Yun-suan, the former Premier of the Republic of China, who sought [Spiritual Deliverance] at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This account reflects upon his life approximately twenty years after his passing. Recorded by the chief writer, Shi Fa-ru, on April 28, 2026.

Sun Yun-suan speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. Practitioner Su, I am Sun Yun-suan. Over a decade ago, through the grace of Namo Amituofo and the guidance of Practitioner Su, I was led to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Looking back now, I am filled with such immense emotion. I never imagined that after a lifetime of experience—thinking I had seen it all, understood it all, and could perceive the very essence of this world—I was actually so incredibly far from the truth.

I never expected that after death, one would become a spirit. The world of spirits is so unique, so profound; it is a reality I had never truly experienced, nor had I ever even contemplated. Although I was a Christian, my attitude toward faith was always one of 'letting things take their natural course.' I held a belief that it was better to believe in the existence of the divine than to deny it entirely.

A Life of Pride and Misconception

I did not fully subscribe to the idea that a god could govern the world or hold total mastery over human destiny. Throughout my life, it felt as though I was constantly at odds with such notions. I wanted to rely on my own abilities, the efforts of my fellow engineers, and the dedication of my party colleagues to build the nation. I wanted Taiwan to truly stand firm on the world stage and for the world to witness the unyielding, resilient spirit of the Taiwanese people. Yet, who would have expected that after a lifetime of navigating such great storms, my final years would end in the tragedy of illness?

My life was, in truth, very smooth, and because of that, I became quite arrogant. This problem of arrogance was actually quite prevalent among the political elite and renowned scholars in Taiwan at that time; it was simply the background of that era. After all, in those days, one had to possess genuine knowledge and capability to rise to the top and become a high-ranking official. Whether I was serving as the Minister of Economic Affairs or as the Premier, my position was built on real substance, not merely through party connections or political maneuvering. That was the reality of the ecosystem in Taiwan back then.

The Stroke and the Descent into Hell

Because of this, my life was very dignified and glorious. However, the sudden stroke I suffered at the age of seventy brought the most ironic conclusion to my political career. Facing the blow of such a debilitating illness was something I truly struggled to accept in my heart. I eventually passed away in the hospital, bidding farewell to the world. Following that, I entered the space of the power plants I had helped build.

Now, viewing things from the spiritual perspective of the Western Pure Land, I realise that long before I even suffered the stroke, parts of my soul were already suffering retribution in the hells. After my death, my primary soul entered the space of the power plants, unable to leave, my clouded, while my three hun souls and seven po souls were torn apart.

During my life, I used my brain to plan national affairs, constantly thinking of how to help my own faction, how to secure my footing, and how to consolidate the Kuomintang's power through development and construction. Because of this, my consciousness and two of my souls were already in the brain-gouging hell.

The Weight of 'National Development'

These efforts were often mixed with selfishness. I grew arrogant, leveraging my 'irreplaceable' contributions to Taiwan for my own gain. Indeed, I benefited from this—and this benefit does not necessarily mean the bribery people might imagine; it includes the climbing of the political ladder and the cultivation of a positive image in the eyes of the public. These many selfish beliefs awakened the beings I had harmed over countless lifetimes, causing my body, soul, and one of my po souls to suffer punishment in the heart-gouging hell.

I have been very talented across many lifetimes, but it was precisely this talent and arrogance, along with my arbitrary treatment of others, that caused these beings to harbour deep resentment toward me. Now, by using the same mind and techniques I once prided myself on, I awakened these beings, leading them to file complaints before the halls of hell, which caused me to enter the hells to suffer retribution prematurely.

After the punishment began, my mind began to deteriorate; it no longer possessed the brilliance it had at the peak of my talent, power, and energy. After the age of sixty, I was already suffering in the brain-gouging hell, which led to the gradual onset of brain disease. By seventy, this triggered the cerebral haemorrhage, the stroke, and the paralysis of my limbs. The beings associated with my brain and limbs had all awakened and filed complaints in the hells, ensuring I would suffer the consequences of my actions.

My final thought before death was the proudest thought of my entire life. I thought of how I had built major power plants and electrical systems across China and Taiwan. Under the most difficult and limited technical conditions, I had pioneered a power grid coverage that surpassed the world and integrated Taiwan's resources to complete the Ten Major Construction Projects and various other groundbreaking infrastructure works. Even the later development of the science parks—all of these were major breakthroughs I had pushed for with every ounce of my energy and intellect. These constructions brought immense changes to Taiwan's development. Whether they were ultimately helpful or harmful, to me at that time, they were certainly successful contributions to Taiwan.

Because of this, in my final moment, I thought of my glorious achievements, and I entered those facilities. Inside them, I continued to actively plan and design. But at this time, my spirit was not whole: the part of my spirit suffering in the hells was still there, enduring its punishment. I do not know how much time passed, but I eventually emerged from that facility space and was brought before the King of Hell, where I was sentenced to suffer in the hells. I suffered in different hells with different parts of my soul, drifting through the hell of excrement, the hell of crushing, the heart-gouging hell, and the brain-gouging hell.

This was truly something I never expected. I was a man of great wisdom throughout my life; I never imagined I would end up like this. It was very hard for me to accept. After all, I truly and sincerely hoped to develop national infrastructure and help the people of Taiwan. In the early days, I helped the people of China achieve a basic standard of living, and later, I allowed Taiwan to develop an independent economy. Especially after Taiwan withdrew from the United Nations, I helped it stand firm on the world stage, maintain limited but stable diplomatic relations, and serve as the 'world's factory.'"

"Of course, there were both advantages and disadvantages to this. From a human perspective, life became more convenient, ushering in a new era of information networks. The development of modern skyscrapers, heavy industry, and science parks all required massive amounts of electricity. Under such considerations, my policies certainly made a significant contribution. However, when viewed through the lens of universal principles, it was not necessarily so. Behind the material comforts people enjoyed lay hidden costs and the sacrifice of the environment. Throughout Taiwan's long process of economic development, people had long since ceased to value this aspect, and in truth, I had already foreseen these signs back then.

The Arrogance of Progress

The middle-aged and young people of that time held a level of disregard for the environment that far surpassed previous generations. The new generation of young businessmen and industry leaders were even more dismissive of environmental concerns. After all, 'economic supremacy, profitability, and development' had always been the primary goals and focal points for these capitalists. This was one of the key reasons why the Kuomintang was able to survive and maintain its footing in Taiwan for so long.

In reality, everyone could see that my ambitions were not small. After working hard within the Kuomintang for a long time, I did indeed intend to compete for the presidency. There was certainly a degree of selfishness involved, and it was a consideration for my own interests, but it was also to reach a higher position so that I could have a more comprehensive plan for the overall construction of Taiwan.

A Vision for a Technological Powerhouse

At the time, I truly hoped to build Taiwan into a top-tier, world-class technological powerhouse. Having served as Minister of Economic Affairs and Premier of the Executive Yuan, I was acutely aware that Taiwan's diplomacy would become a significant hidden danger in the near future. If we could not timely secure Taiwan's position as a key player in the global supply chain, we would inevitably be suppressed to an irreparable degree in the international arena.

Therefore, my goal was very clear: to step by step build Taiwan into a global technological giant, using both soft and hard power to become a premier supply chain leader, and I also hoped to keep Taiwan far ahead of China in terms of technology.

In that era, I did indeed achieve this. Following the guidance of President Chiang Ching-kuo, the national policies operated very stably. This helped Taiwan secure its footing internationally, allowing the whole world to recognize and acknowledge Taiwan, and to establish itself on the world stage with a kind and friendly identity. This was to ensure the world would believe that the Republic of China was the true representative of China, which was the duty I, as a member of the Kuomintang, was most proud of.

The Hidden Cost of Ambition

However, looking back now, these positive developments were all intertwined with personal agendas and selfishness. This belief, which caused cross-strait confrontation, was in itself the cause of countless sins I committed. I had originally planned to build Taiwan into a technological powerhouse, but looking back now, I realize that I had been deeply controlled by demon crowds since my youth, leading me to believe that these technologies were everything.

Little did I know that the root of all this technology came from a craving for novelty and change, a dissatisfaction with the status quo, and the pursuit of infinite desires for human sensory gratification. That is why it became necessary to develop these technologies. Whether it was development in the military to give the nation powerful forces to conquer other countries; development in technology, entertainment, and culture to provide oneself with stimulating sensory experiences; or development in infrastructure to provide sufficient electricity to promote the flourishing of various fields—all of this was an external pursuit.

I did not look inward, nor did I truly cultivate my own spirituality. At that time, I had not learned the Buddha’s teachings, nor did I know the importance of this matter. To me, making the nation wealthy and strong, ensuring the civilians were well-fed, and having the world recognize the Republic of China were the core concepts and goals in my heart. I did not know that all these goals and concepts were manifestations of demon nature, nor did I know that once executed, one would have to pay an immeasurable and boundless price. This is the law of cause and effect.

The Engineering Mindset

At the time, I really did not think too much about it. If I had not encountered the Buddha’s teachings, how many people could actually articulate this truth? I had developed such a personality and habits; without Buddhist education, how could I have broken through these blind spots?

I spent my entire life in high-intensity technical training. In my teens, I was admitted to a school in Harbin, Northeast China, to study power plant-related knowledge, and later I traveled to the United States for training to learn the country's relevant technologies. After coming to Taiwan, I was engaged in construction throughout my career, visiting different countries to observe their technical standards and building power plants in various regions.

In terms of engineering, this was essentially using the nation's money to carry out large-scale construction projects across the country and the world. I wonder if everyone understands that the scale of a power plant requires a significant amount of funding, and one does not usually have the opportunity to undertake such construction. However, with my status and position, I achieved the goal of building large-scale power plants in various places. This included all kinds of hydroelectric, thermal, and nuclear power facilities, which were indeed large-scale constructions at the time. Under different terrains, countries, and climatic conditions, the practical experience gained from building various power plants was countless, which is why I was able to establish a profound status in engineering.

Sacrificing the Environment

At that time, in Taiwan, I extensively promoted the construction of various power plants, replacing hydroelectric with thermal power plants, and establishing nuclear power plants. But was this considered with the well-being of the Taiwanese people as the starting point? I dare not say. After all, in that era, although there was a shortage of electricity, was there really a need for such massive consumption? Was it truly the right direction to develop Taiwan into a country that consumed such vast amounts of electricity? Allowing the electricity coverage rate to exceed ninety-nine percent, far surpassing the 'Four Asian Tigers' of the time—considering the environmental sacrifices, it was indeed a bit excessive.

I based these policy plans on my own development philosophy, so the sacrifices—including the health of the Taiwanese people, air pollution, and environmental issues—were all aspects I ignored. Such construction, and the mindset of disregarding everything to achieve development goals and results, actually required a price to be paid.

In that era, which emphasized data above all else, I used these infrastructure achievements and various development indicators to secure my position as Premier of the Executive Yuan and as a pioneer in Taiwan's power system.

A Legacy of Materialism

But did this really bring help to the people? What were the sacrifices and hidden costs in between? At the time, no one was willing to explore this. Building power plants to the highest standards and specifications was the only consideration, so there was no extra energy to attend to other aspects. Balanced development and sustainable development were naturally not in the considerations. Later nuclear development was also built based on this philosophy.

As for the nuclear waste issues that people actively discuss later, in the context of that era, they were not something that needed to be addressed.

Therefore, for Taiwan, I certainly made a full contribution to infrastructure and the semiconductor industry, but I also caused a lot of harm to Taiwan in subtle ways. The most important of these was the influence on the human heart. This is the conclusion I reached after reflecting on myself in the Western Pure Land.

People worship the economy and utilitarianism, believing that having a job and money is better than anything else. This pattern has indeed caused a serious skew in the human heart. It was already like this in an era of simple hearts, and in recent years, as this concept and philosophy have continued to develop and expand, everyone has long been deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves. The public uses unscrupulous means to make money and ensure their own business flourishes. I see this very clearly from the Western Pure Land.

The Need for Buddhist Education

Although I can point out various problems now, looking back at the time, I had the same mindset; it was just that the aspects, fields, and scope were different. The natural and man-made disasters that later occurred in Taiwan are mostly related to this mindset: manufacturers cutting corners, evading government policies, dodging environmental impact assessments and environmental issues, and concealing the truth about environmental pollution and ecological destruction.

Taiwan's major construction companies, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs in various fields indeed operated their businesses based on the philosophy of 'money as the primary indicator.' Taking money as the primary consideration and starting from self-interest makes me sigh: it turns out that at the time, I was treating Taiwan as my own company, thinking only of making the company profitable and maximizing economic benefits, thereby sacrificing everything that this land of Taiwan should have valued and protected.

I did not see the price paid for this at the time. It was not until I entered hell to suffer punishment that I realized it was all too late. Later generations and enterprises competed to imitate me; my philosophy seemed to have achieved very successful results, but this too will have to pay a price in the future.

Without Buddhist education, who could understand these truths?

Taiwan has been popular with the Buddha’s teachings since ancient times. Although my religious philosophy was different, I still maintained an attitude of respect and did not suppress the space for Buddhism to develop in Taiwan. After all, Taiwan is a country that advocates freedom of religious belief; as Premier, I naturally could not violate such core principles.

However, I still did not delve into or explore what the core essence of Buddhism was. From my current perspective, there are not many people who can truly delve into it, unless they encounter descending to the human world, currently residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, having such a magnificent opportunity. Otherwise, how could one explore the core of the Buddha’s teachings within the vast ocean of the ?

I listen to the sutras before the Buddha and constantly ask the Buddha about the details of what I created in this life. I have come to understand: it turns out that these biased and evil thoughts and beliefs, as well as the behaviors that followed, are all things that must bear the consequences of cause and effect. It turns out that true technology lies in the human heart, not in the pursuit of external appearances.

Practitioner Su often says that if the human heart can cultivate Goodness and perform good deeds, it will naturally evoke infinite light between heaven and earth. If there is truly such a result, why would there be a need to invent light bulbs? Why would there be a need to use electricity? This has indeed made me reflect for a long time." Namo Amituofo.

As someone who led the development of infrastructure, power plants, and the fundamental power supply systems in Taiwan, hearing this was truly shocking. It turns out that everything I strove for was not the ultimate answer, but merely a makeshift solution cobbled together by people using limited knowledge and technology. This was difficult for me to accept, yet in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, the light and brightness far exceed that of Taiwan by tens of millions of times, and it never ceases for twenty-four hours. This can be described as infinite energy and infinite power supply.

According to the knowledge and technology I had studied, such a phenomenon should be impossible. However, in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, what I see every day is truly like this. This leaves no room for me to have any doubts. Having witnessed all of this firsthand, as an engineer who values facts and evidence, even if I were to conduct countless research analyses, I could only write down this one conclusion:

In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, there is no need for electricity.

The Illusion of Necessity

To go further, in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, nothing is needed. Whatever you require appears the moment you think of it. There is no need to build, nor do you need to spend time designing, finding component suppliers, or sourcing raw materials. There is no need to calculate costs, manpower, material resources, or time, let alone schedule production and construction timelines. Final inspections, upstream and downstream quality control, after-sales service, standard operating procedures, or subsequent second or third-generation improvements—none of this is necessary. You simply have a thought, and the object appears immediately.

For someone like me who studied engineering and science, this is an extremely inconceivable phenomenon that is hard to accept, yet it occurs with absolute reality before my eyes. It is not that I cannot accept it, but rather that when I was in the world, it was truly unimaginable; such scenarios usually only appear in fictional or fabricated film and television works.

The Reality of Manifestation

Yet, I have truly witnessed all of this as it is. I have performed many experiments repeatedly, and it is truly a case of 'whatever you think of, it comes,' no matter how complex the structure. Even the components and raw materials I needed when I worked in engineering in the past appeared realistically before my eyes without any obstacles. Moreover, their properties, weight, size, and everything my five could perceive were exactly the same.

It seems that this spiritual world has encompassed the sensory of the human world, and it can allow you to experience the exact same sensations through spirit-to-spirit and heart-to-heart communication, without being limited to those five senses. This far exceeds the limitations of what Buddhism calls the 'Six Roots contacting ,' as all kinds of perceptions at different levels can be perfectly reproduced. This is the most surprising and inconceivable aspect of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I have conducted many experiments in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, trying to find some laws or patterns, but they all failed. The reason is that the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is truly the most ultimate Buddha’s teachings, so 'the has no fixed Dharma,' and everything is entirely formed by one's own mental note.

The Fluidity of Natural Laws

If the mental note today is of a certain result, the naturally presented appearance and laws are that result; if the mental note is of the opposite operating mechanism and mode, the sensory perception that naturally appears before one's eyes is the completely opposite mechanism. This makes me feel incredibly surprised, as this is something that could not possibly exist in the secular world, on Earth, or in other realms.

For example, on Earth, if water flows from a high place to a low place, it is in accordance with gravity, space-time fields, and gravitational fields. But in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, it is entirely according to one's wishes. If you think water should flow to a lower place, it flows to a lower place; if you think water should flow to a higher place, it flows to a higher place. Whether it splits, merges, or disperses into foam, it is entirely based on one's own wishes and mental notes, naturally presenting itself before one's eyes.

And that 'naturalness,' the so-called natural, is not achieved through external forces or the manipulation of other abilities or energies. Rather, within the laws of the universe, it naturally generates laws within nature according to different mental notes, thereby presenting different results. The vastness of this Buddha’s teachings truly far exceeds science, worldly medicine, and all other fields. Even electricity, which I was most proud of, is something you have if you want it and do not have if you do not want it in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Transcending Limited Attachments

If one delves into the essence of electricity, the movement of electrons, or even deeper into the atomic structure and the more subtle 'fine dust' realm within, these are actually very limited attachments from the perspective of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Such attachment is like an adult watching a child use a spoon; to the child, they can only eat with limited tools, but the adult naturally knows that there are no restrictions on using all kinds of tools—whether chopsticks, spoons, or forks—and one might not even need any tableware at all, as one can use their hands.

The worldly realm observed from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is similar to this situation. All human attachments—the various subjective consciousnesses that believe 'it should be this way' or 'it should be that way'—are meaningless attachments from the perspective of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Any academic theory, including the scientific articles I read and the various theories I applied when I was alive, are actually very limited existences:

  • First, because one must use 'electricity' to develop theories related to electricity.
  • Second, if one were to use 'light' instead, all electrical theories would become invalid.
  • Third, if one were to use other 'energy' instead, all optical theories would become invalid.

There are no actual limitations between these layers. However, for people in the worldly realm, it is as if one must use electricity if one wants to use electricity, and using electricity comes with a multitude of regulations and guidelines that cannot be violated or ignored, along with standard specifications and scientific theories. This is a principle I understood when I was alive; after all, the operation of these energy sources and related items has its natural criteria, and one must follow standard procedures to achieve safe and efficient usage.

However, after truly breaking free from these, I have also thoroughly seen the essence of it all. In fact, these are all due to too much human heart limiting itself, having too many attachments, too many subjective views, and too many discriminations, which is why people cannot see the essence of the world. Because people have so many things they cannot let go of, constantly discriminating between high and low, and constantly competing with each other, there is all this chaos in the world.

The Eternal Law of Namo Amituofo

If everyone were to learn the Buddha’s teachings, there would be no need to delve too deeply into the limited laws or criteria of this world. After all, 'the Dharma has no fixed Dharma'; a paper written today may not be applicable tomorrow. If one wants to come up with a law that can be passed down forever and remain eternal, that is the purity and goodness of the human heart, and that is the six-character name 'Namo Amituofo.'

Engineers and educators who advocate for science might feel that this is too abstract and too ridiculous, thinking that this is just a religious term or merely a mantra. In fact, this is not the case. The most profound aspect of the Buddha’s teachings is that it is truly the supreme education.

The term 'supreme' refers to its wisdom, the degree of ultimate truth, its breadth, and its depth, all of which are top-tier and the highest, thus deserving to be called 'supreme.' The reason I dare to say this is that the Buddha’s teachings 'do not rely on words,' having no linguistic limitations, just as the sutra says: 'The Buddha expounds the Dharma with one sound, and beings understand it according to their own kind.' The reason there is expression through words is only to accommodate the languages and scriptures generated by different peoples, cultures, and groups.

True Buddha’s teachings placed within the universe, among various planets, and among immeasurable and boundless beings, have no limitations. Just like when Practitioner Su gives Dharma talks at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, the content of the scriptures he expounds can spread throughout the ten directions, without being subject to any restrictions. It allows beings on different planets to hear it at the same time and understand the profound principles spoken by the Buddha according to their own understanding, thereby changing their own hearts. This is where the Buddha’s teachings have no barriers in language or culture, far exceeding any scientific and philosophical theories on Earth.

The Science of the Spiritual Realm

In terms of science, the mystery of the Buddha’s teachings lies in unlocking the relationship between the spiritual world and the dust world, as well as the relationship between spirits and the human body.

The Buddha’s teachings mention the 'Six Supernormal Powers': Divine Foot, Heavenly Eye, divine hearing, knowing past lives, reading minds, and extinction of outflows.

Taking 'Divine Foot' as an example, it allows spirits to travel throughout the universe and various spaces in a very short time. This transcends the limitations of the human body and also surpasses the realms and places that can be reached by space rockets developed by humans with limited scientific technology.

And 'reading minds' breaks through the limitations of time and space, understanding the thoughts that beings in different spaces want to express and convey by receiving information. This far exceeds any modern communication system.

Current communication technology is not only limited by time, having problems with transmission delays, but also has thresholds that are difficult to break, such as the speed of light. And these many limitations reflect the progress and transcendence of the Buddha’s teachings in communication technology.

In the microscopic fields of physics, atoms, and quantum mechanics, the depth of the Buddha’s teachings has long since far exceeded everything that current scientific technology can reach.

Most current scientific theories still remain in the forms of 'matter,' 'mass,' 'energy,' and 'fields' to explore. Even though people have now begun to break through to the interior of atoms, touching upon the categories of quarks, fermions, and bosons, no matter what name they are called, they still belong to the exploration of the dust world.

And for all tangible things, whether they are fine dust or energy, there is the process of formation, abiding, decay, and emptiness. Current science can only describe them with probability, while the Buddha’s teachings can investigate the influence of the spiritual world on the dust world, explaining that all formation, abiding, decay, and emptiness are inseparable from the laws of and cause and effect, inseparable from spiritual memory, and inseparable from the good karma and negative karma created over countless lifetimes.

The spiritual world has space, or space-time fields, and the Buddha’s teachings have an in-depth exploration of this. Within space, there are more spaces, and within space-time fields, there are infinitely many subtle space-time fields, and even layers upon layers of endlessly extending space-time fields. This concept has yet to be fully understood by the world today.

The most profound aspect of all is that spirituality exists within space. The breadth of these spiritual realms is immeasurable and boundless, with countless sentient beings existing within space. Even the human body itself contains infinite dimensions of space-time fields and various spirits. These spirits within the spiritual world can exert influence upon the material world, yet they do not escape the laws governing the operation of all things in heaven and earth; everything operates within the laws of karma.

This is precisely the blind spot in current scientific research—the inability to effectively integrate the theories of spirituality, space-time, matter, energy, and fields.

The True Nature of Medicine

From the perspective of current human development, it will take a considerable amount of time to explore these depths. Therefore, the Buddha’s teachings can point out and explain these truths in the simplest and most accessible way. This is not only based on a thorough understanding of science, physics, and the essence of the universe's operation, but also because it possesses sufficient Wisdom to allow people, within their limited understanding, scientific technology, and cultural backgrounds, to still comprehend such profound principles. In medicine, many people do not understand this and believe that the Buddha’s teachings are merely a religion or a form of superstition. In fact, the Buddha’s teachings are not only the most profound science but also the most advanced medical art, because they can resolve the problems of human birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This statement is not a slogan or a gimmick; it is a tangible reality. The Buddha’s teachings can truly resolve birth, aging, sickness, and death, allowing people to be free from the ailments of aging and disease, and enabling them to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death.

The Reality of the Spiritual World

The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is a spiritual world, and it truly exists. People are limited by their physical bodies and their five senses, so they cannot experience or perceive the existence of spirits. However, through diligent practice, verification, maintaining purity and Goodness, and purifying one's own Body-Mind-Spirit, one can naturally perceive the existence of spirits.

In fact, many Taiwanese people possess such spiritual sensitivity; it is not that they do not. Therefore, blindly rejecting this fact is of no help. After all, this so-called spiritual sensitivity is a natural human instinct. It can be recovered directly through practice and purification; there is no need for excessive external forces or strange abilities to assist. One only needs to truly turn one's heart toward Goodness, help people and sentient beings, take "helping sentient beings return to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" as one's own responsibility, and truly perform good deeds with a sense of . Naturally, one will be able to recover this instinct.

Because these instincts are recovered, one can naturally understand the true situation of the spiritual realms. Once the truth is understood, one will discover that the infinite space within the human body is all related to one's or spirits from countless past lives.

The Truth Behind Illness

These spirits are awakened by one's mental notes, personality, or improper behavior in this lifetime. Once awakened, they begin to take revenge on this body. Because one had harmed these beings in the past, they naturally develop retaliatory behavior toward this person. This is the true situation of the cells within every person's body. Cells that are attacked will undergo pathological changes, aging, and death, which in turn leads to systemic illness. This is the truth behind disease.

The Buddha’s teachings do not merely point out the truth; they also propose a solution: through reforming one's own character, improving one's behavior, maintaining purity and Goodness, being selfless and without attachment, and following the Buddha’s teachings to help sentient beings be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Naturally, the sentient beings within one's body will also be able to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

This principle is very profound, and I cannot explain it in great detail within the limited space here. However, if you are interested and are fortunate enough to encounter Namo Amituofo residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia to resolve the doubts of human beings, you can read the various publications of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, which include a wide variety of spiritual interviews.

The Highest Wisdom

Most importantly, Namo Amituofo personally gives teachings at the temple, explaining the truth about human cells and diseases. There are also teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju regarding human disease, aging, and the concepts of karma and reincarnation. These are not things that can be thoroughly explained by the Buddhist sutras of the ancestral masters of the past. After all, these are principles written by Namo Amituofo, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su, tailored to the vocabulary and concepts that modern people can understand. There is nothing more fitting to the capacity and the Truth than this.

Furthermore, combined with various interview transcripts, people can better understand the nature of spiritual life and the spiritual world. In this way, everyone can fully understand what is meant by the "Great Physician," what is the most brilliant medical art in the universe, and what is the most sophisticated physics in the universe. In fact, these are all synonyms for Buddhist education.

Today, if you still think that the Buddha’s teachings are just a religion, it is a great pity. Having said so much and pointed out various profound meanings and principles, I believe everyone should be able to understand the wonders of the Buddha’s teachings. Once practice breaks through various physical limitations of , achieves the state of an awakened being, and attains the so-called of an awakened being, one can then, as a spiritual entity, help sentient beings in the infinite spaces throughout the entire world and the entire universe.

A Mission of Deliverance

These sentient beings are trapped in space and cannot escape, but an awakened Dharma Body can follow Namo Amituofo to open these spaces, travel through the universe across ancient and modern times without any restrictions, and help all spirits be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This is the most important root and foundation of learning the Buddha’s teachings: helping spirits and helping people.

As a spiritual entity, one can also see through the entire appearance of this world more clearly, and even the entire appearance beyond this Earth can be clearly seen. This is also a major demonstration of Practitioner Su manifesting in the human world this time: using his awakened Dharma Body to perform Chao Du on a grand scale on Earth and throughout the entire world and universe, extensively saving infinite spirits, and also giving Dharma talks in the human world, giving human beings and sentient beings in the ten directions the opportunity to hear and learn the Buddhist education of Namo Amituofo.

I hereby appeal to all scholars, peers, and top researchers: if your life is limited, and your golden age for researching the Truth of this world is only a short ten or twenty years, why not invest it in the most important fields of science, medicine, or philosophy? The common point of these fields is found within Buddhist education.

All of Practitioner Su's teaching content and theories are completely open, and the public is welcome to discuss and learn from each other. If Namo Amituofo, with such a great spiritual status, can explain the Buddha’s teachings with such a low profile, shouldn't you scholars first come to verify and investigate for yourselves?

You do not need to distinguish how to see the true Buddha or how to see the Buddha with the physical eyes—these are empty and irrelevant questions. Just focus on your own respective fields, explore the most profound and ultimate questions, and see if there are still many problems that remain unsolved. And these are questions that the Buddha can answer. Are you interested in bringing the most profound, unsolved, and restricted problems in your research field to the temple to consult and discuss with the Buddha, and give yourself an opportunity to learn Buddhist education?

If you do not pursue such profound theories and knowledge, but instead waste precious time researching fields and schools of thought that are not ultimate, only to find out in the end that there was no need to learn them at all, isn't that a great pity?

In the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, I have seen the truly ultimate medicine created by the Buddha’s Wisdom—there is no disease and no aging. Why bother developing televisions and mobile phones? The scenes you want to see can be seen everywhere; as long as you want to see them, you can see them, and if you don't want to see them, you don't see them. This is the most convenient "tablet" display technology. As for the delicious food and recipes you want, in the human world, you are limited by ingredients and materials, but in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, any wonderful and special flavor can be perfectly restored. Even the sensations and tastes that the physical tongue cannot taste can be fully presented there. Building facilities are created according to one's wishes, and the construction time is only in an instant. Unlike the human world, where design, planning, construction, inspection, and subsequent maintenance and demolition all require a large amount of manpower, material resources, and legal procedures. There, houses can even be moved with you, operating on the ground or in the air; the technology is superb and free, almost without any limitations.

The Limitations of the Human World

In comparison, do you understand the limitations and imperfections of the world you are currently in? In the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you can see the Earth whenever you want; the eyes are far superior to the Hubble Telescope. On Earth, just going beyond the solar system is the limit, and going beyond the Milky Way is even more unreachable; but in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you can see star clusters, nebulae, stars, black holes, and even other Buddha-lands and demon realms at will.

You can even see the mental notes and suffering of sentient beings in various spaces, and you can know the past infinite kalpas ago and foresee the changes in time and dimensions infinite kalpas into the future. In the West, all of this can be clearly seen. I ask you, is there a world more magnificent than this? Is there a technology higher than this?

If you understand this difference, as achievers and professionals in your respective fields, shouldn't you give yourself a chance to learn the Buddha’s teachings? It has been written very clearly in countless interview transcripts, and it has truly verified the existence of everything. If you just hold on to this attachment, thinking that this is superstition and not reality, and believing that what you see and hear is the only reality, thus limiting yourself, then it is a great pity.

Sun Yun-suan, in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, broke away from his original attachments and his original limitations, and only then was he able to see such a different world. I hope you will also give yourself a chance to learn the truly profound Buddha’s teachings, to understand the true nature of this world, and not be limited. Do not wait until the end to realize that the world should have been better, and realize that there are more perfect ways to improve and solve the natural and man-made disasters in the human world, as well as the problems of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

I am very grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for giving me this opportunity to save me and bring me to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, allowing me to re-learn the Buddha’s teachings and also allowing me to recognize my many shortcomings in this human world.

Even the brilliant Sun Yun-suan, who was considered academically excellent from a young age, was so successful in his career along the way, led a vast team to work hard, established countless infrastructure projects, and laid the foundation for Taiwan's stable economic development in the later period. Even Sun Yun-suan, who was so admired by the world, was still sent to hell to suffer punishment after death, unable to escape his own space.

Namo Amituofo.

Without the benefit of Buddhist education and the powerful Chao Du performed by Practitioner Su to help me return to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I would never have had the opportunity to learn the true, ultimate scientific theories and medical knowledge I possess today, nor would I have been able to grasp the true Buddha’s teachings. Furthermore, I would have had no way to communicate this message in my current form as a spirit, or to explain the profound mysteries of the Buddha’s teachings to all of you.

Throughout my life, I prided myself on being a man of science and an engineer. It is a great pity that while I was alive, I never had the chance to encounter such truly profound knowledge, nor did I ever truly value it. I once thought I had exhausted my entire life exploring the truths of the world, only to realise in the end that I had not even touched the surface.

The Illusion of Worldly Pursuits

Everything in this world—whether it be politics, economics, education, or military affairs—is actually knowledge derived from the flow of karma, born from the collective karmic forces of humanity. These pursuits not only increase our attachment to this world but also lead to endless comparisons, analysis, jealousy, and competition. This creates immeasurable and boundless karma, trapping us forever in a world of suffering and the cycle of rebirth.

When I think about it, it is truly not worth it. Everyone has the opportunity to learn the Buddhist education provided by our Great Teacher, Namo Amituofo. You must seize this chance and not let this precious opportunity slip away. Do not wait until you have lost your human body, fallen into the hells, or become a wandering ghost in the six realms of rebirth before you feel regret. By then, it will be far too late.

Science and the Truth of the Dharma

In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I see all of this with absolute clarity. I wish to speak to you now with the same sincerity and truthfulness I held as an engineer: I am a man who seeks facts, and I will not speak words that do not align with reality. I have never been one to praise others while belittling myself. However, this time, I, Sun Yun-suan, must admit to you all: science is indeed a part of the Buddha’s teachings, but it does not represent the entirety of the Dharma. Compared to the full scope of the Buddha’s teachings, science is far behind. To truly study science to its ultimate conclusion, one must study the Buddha’s teachings. To truly study philosophy to its ultimate conclusion, one must study the Buddha’s teachings. To truly understand the principles of this world, one must study the Buddha’s teachings.

This is the truth that I, Sun Yun-suan, truly wish to convey to everyone. I am grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for giving me this opportunity to be interviewed, and I hope those with karmic affinity will listen to this lesson I have shared.

Namo Amituofo.

Sun Yun-suan

Venerable Shi Fa Ru:

May I ask, Sun Yun-suan, regarding the promotion of the Dharma through online platforms in Taiwan, how can we help all Taiwanese people come to know Namo Amituofo?

Sun Yun-suan:

For the people of Taiwan to know Namo Amituofo is a matter of natural course. After all, the stable development Taiwan has enjoyed from the past to the present is largely due to the fact that Taiwanese people believe in Buddhism. Everyone believes in the Buddha and follows the Buddha’s teachings by performing acts of Goodness and Generosity. In particular, the Pure Land societies in Taiwan have been very generous in their giving, which has been of immense help in keeping the Buddha’s teachings alive in this world. This is why the people of Taiwan have the opportunity today to keep the Buddhist education of Namo Amituofo in Taiwan and the chance to learn the Buddha’s teachings.

The Deep Affinity Between Taiwan and the Dharma

Practitioner Su’s manifestation in this life as a Taiwanese person proves the deep Dharma affinity between Taiwan and the Buddha’s teachings. Although Practitioner Su is currently in Australia, he never forgets to transmit the Buddha’s teachings back to Taiwan through his weekly Chao Du ceremonies and various other forms of Dharma promotion.

The main problem with the Buddha’s teachings in Taiwan today is the prevalence of so-called Humanistic Buddhism, which, strictly speaking, is different from the promotion of the True Teachings. The primary purpose of the Buddha’s teachings is to escape the six realms of rebirth and to transcend this world. However, the Buddhism currently promoted and admired in Taiwan is largely focused on worldly affairs. There is no genuine heart to truly escape the cycle of rebirth, nor is there a real intention to let go of everything in this world. All the acts of Generosity and related practices are performed to make one’s development in the human world smoother, seeking for humans and gods and worldly success, rather than seeking to leave this world filled with suffering.

This is why the people of Taiwan have not yet fully realised that what they are pursuing is not the ultimate goal. Even if one tries to use Buddhist methods or academic studies of Buddhism to maintain worldly possessions for a long time, it is simply impossible.

The Path to True Liberation

This is written very clearly in the Words of Namo Amituofo, the teachings of Practitioner Xia Lianju, and it is explained very explicitly in the Dharma talks given by Practitioner Su. It cannot be achieved through Humanistic Buddhism or pseudo-Buddhist teachings. Only by learning the true Buddhist education and achieving a state of having no personality traits, being selfless, and remaining pure and Good, can one possibly achieve the state of not aging, not changing, and having a spirit that never dies. Only by truly making the vow to be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss can one avoid the suffering of future lives. This is what the people of Taiwan truly need to understand.

Promoting Buddhist education in Taiwan can be approached from several angles:

Taiwanese people value the economy, prioritising making money, small comforts, and their own livelihoods. Therefore, to break through and capture people’s attention, we can start from this perspective. Let people know that no matter how many small comforts they have, no matter how strong the economy is, or how much money they earn, it can never offset the expenses generated by illness, insurance, and various medical costs. If one wants to truly escape the suffering of illness and ensure their finances do not face difficulties, the benefit of learning the Buddha’s teachings is exactly this: you do not need to see a doctor, you do not need to seek medical treatment, and you do not need to spend money on surgeries; even if you have cancer, you do not need to spend money on treatment.

One only needs to follow Namo Amituofo, step by step, changing one’s personality, helping others, truly letting go of oneself and one’s subjective views, and then yearning for the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. From beginning to end, there is no extra expense; it is very economical and practical. This is a direction that can be taken for the Taiwanese people who love money and wealth.

Reuniting in the Western Land

For those who are attached to emotions and family, we can help them understand that the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is the only place where one can truly be together forever.

For this type of person, we can help them understand the teachings of the Buddha and the Teachers regarding the non-ultimate and imperfect nature of this world. Let them read more testimonials from spirits who were deeply entangled in emotional attachments—those who, after passing away, entered their own separate spaces and could not be together.

At the same time, let them see the interviews with those who have achieved rebirth, so they know that only by reuniting in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss can they truly be with their families. This is a direction that can be taken for Taiwanese people who are attached to emotions and family.

If one is willing to perform Chao Du for their own family members and the deceased, helping them be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, they will be able to reunite there later. There is nothing more perfect than this.

Reaching the Intellectuals

For intellectuals, scholars, educators, engineers, doctors, and other professionals, most are very confident in their own learning and may even carry a bit of arrogance. To help them understand this content, we can promote the ultimate nature of Buddhist education to them and guide them to read the most profound teachings of Namo Amituofo.

These intellectuals naturally have a desire to explore and research knowledge they do not recognise or understand. After all, they hold a belief in their hearts that they must not lose; they always want to ponder and understand things they do not grasp in order to maintain their status and standing as intellectuals. As long as these profound principles are presented before them and they are given the opportunity to come into contact with them, they will naturally delve into them. This will help them realise that there is always a heaven beyond heaven and people beyond people. The ultimate nature of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss far surpasses the worldly realm. The vastness of the Buddha’s teachings is also far superior to all the limited, non-ultimate, and flawed theories and schools of thought in this world.

This is the direction in which we can operate and promote. As for various religions, sects, or folk beliefs, we must help them understand the true nature of what is called spiritual power. We must help them understand that the deities they worship also belong to the six realms of existence and are also subject to the cycle of rebirth.

If we can let these ghost deities know that Namo Amituofo is currently residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia and that they should come to seek Chao Du, they will naturally and actively approach the temple and connect with it. The main spirits and primary souls of their respective temples will inevitably want to come to the temple to seek Chao Du.

I see that they are still very distressed in the ghost realm because they cannot yet escape the six realms of rebirth. Even if they serve in the realm of ghost deities, the scope of their service and the content of their practice are very limited. If they can understand and accept the Buddhist education of Namo Amituofo, they will naturally be able to expand the scope of their service, as they will be serving sentient beings in the ten directions and the Dharma realms.

Regardless, this is an opportunity for a great leap forward: if one serves as a Dharma protector in a temple, the scope of service is limited. If one becomes a Dharma protector at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia, the blessings created will affect sentient beings in the ten directions and the Dharma realms. Comparing the two, one can see that being close to the temple has only infinite benefits. Moreover, when the time is ripe, one can follow Namo Amituofo to be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Such a magnificent opportunity is difficult to encounter in millions of years.

Those with karmic affinity in major temples, the spiritual world, and the world of the Buddha’s teachings should all be able to understand the preciousness of the Dharma. As for traditional Buddhists, or Buddhist Venerables, lay practitioners, and volunteers, we can primarily let them read and understand the true teachings of Namo Amituofo.

In fact, for those with deep Dharma affinity, they have studied the Buddha’s teachings over many lifetimes. The indescribable feeling they have for the Dharma is their own good roots, as well as the realisation of the beings within their bodies who have studied the Buddha’s teachings with them over many lifetimes. Being able to see the true Buddha and encounter the true Buddha—even if the person themselves does not know it, the beings within their bodies will know. After all, Namo Amituofo is famous in the spiritual realms; and the phenomenon of the Buddha teaching beings and emitting light is something that, while unknown to the human world, is visible in the spiritual realms.

Therefore, once they come into contact with any item or teaching related to the true Buddha—even if it is just a single character or a single sentence—they will receive the blessing of , which radiates a brilliant golden light. They are able to perceive the extraordinary phenomena within these materials. Even if they cannot see the Buddha with their own eyes, they can understand that this is truly the 'True Buddha abiding in the world.' Even if it were not the true Buddha, it must at least be a representative of the Buddha acting in the world to allow such text, or even images, to possess such immense power. This is precisely why the current billboards are able to attract so many spirits from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China to come to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to seek Spiritual Deliverance.

The Power of the Buddha's Heart

The same principle applies to the 'Messages from Namo Amituofo’s Heart.' Every word, every sentence, and every character spoken by Namo Amituofo is incomparably precious; each carries the blessing of Buddha-power and contains infinite Buddha-light within.

For these traditional Buddhist practitioners, especially those in Taiwan who have a sufficient understanding of the Buddha, we only need to allow them to witness the teachings of the 'Messages from Namo Amituofo’s Heart' and these precious Dharma Jewels that are directly related to the Buddha. In the depths of their consciousness, they will naturally sense the difference. Whether it is a profound sense of being moved or inspired, the feeling of their hearts finally being unburdened, or the realization of having finally encountered the true Buddha after seeking the Truth for thousands of lifetimes—these are the reasons why people will be led to the Centre or will pay even closer attention to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. Therefore, in this regard, for Buddhists, directly transmitting the Buddha’s teachings so that they can see them is the most critical key to leading them to the path.

Strategic Outreach and Categorization

Synthesizing the key classifications mentioned above, from the existing materials at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, we must find ways to circulate the 'Messages from Namo Amituofo’s Heart,' the Teacher’s teachings, and the videos of Practitioner Su’s Dharma talks to the existing Buddhist practitioners and followers in Taiwan.

For intellectuals and professionals—including doctors, scientists, engineers, and teachers from primary schools to universities—we should circulate Practitioner Su’s Dharma talk videos and interview transcripts.

For followers of folk religions or those associated with various temples, we should similarly circulate Practitioner Su’s Dharma talk videos and interview transcripts, as these are contents they are more likely to find receptive.

Regarding promotion platforms and strategies, commonly used social media are excellent options, including Facebook, YouTube, Line, Instagram, Threads, and Twitter. When promoting on these platforms, we should target their internal groups, communities, or relevant categories, and tailor the aforementioned content to the needs of different demographics for precise promotion. We must combine the classifications and details I mentioned earlier to ensure they encounter the Buddhist Centre through content they find most accessible and necessary.

Optimizing the Reading Experience

Regarding book publishing and the reading experience, the Buddhist Centre has many books compiled into volumes that can be uploaded to different platforms, but we must pay special attention to making them easy for people to read. Because the volume of these texts is enormous, without a good reading experience, it is difficult for readers to settle down and read deeply in an information-saturated online environment.

Core considerations that need attention include layout, font size, and typeface; we must ensure that readers feel visual comfort, making the materials suitable for long-duration reading.

As for audiobooks: while we can experiment with them, the current market is limited, so we can wait until we have more resources before executing this.

Visualizing the Dharma

Regarding graphic production and audiovisual content suggestions: currently, the Venerables focus on producing graphics based on interview transcripts, articles, books, or compilations, while videos primarily consist of long-term Dharma talk recordings. However, I believe we can start strengthening the following areas:

Explanatory Comics: For important medical concepts in the Buddha’s teachings (such as spiritual attachment, spirits, and other abstract concepts), we should produce simple four-panel or six-panel comics. Using images or symbols instead of pure text will be easier to understand than long-winded explanations and will help with circulation on social media. When users scroll past, they will be attracted by the images; they won't need to read tens of thousands of words to grasp the key points of the Buddha’s teachings. The Dharma affinity created through this will be immeasurable.

Regarding the biographical comics of celebrity interviews, selecting a few of the most important ones as representative promotional material is sufficient. We should invest time in the most important concepts of Buddhist education, producing them as explanatory comics or videos, such as:

  • The chronology of Namo Amituofo abiding at the Buddhist Centre.
  • How Practitioner Su bears the suffering of beings (such as his leg breaking, which allowed Namo Amituofo to descend and abide at the Buddhist Centre).
  • How Practitioner Su leads spirits to rebirth in the Western Pure Land and teaches them Buddhist education.
  • Detailed concepts on how to achieve 'no aging, no sickness, no death.'
  • The Great Physician King, human cells, spiritual attachments, and karmic creditors.
  • The formation of the Dharma Body and how to use it to deliver spirits in spiritual spaces and the Demon Realm.
  • How to pray for rain, how to mitigate pandemics, and how to deliver spirits in the Chinese space.
  • How to communicate with spirits, conduct inquiries, and accept interviews.

All of the above are important subjects that can be used as explanatory comics. Even more modern operations—such as the Buddhist Centre asking spirits for their opinions on online promotion, or having a spirit-realm designer from the Dharma-Nature Land design the architecture of the Buddhist Centre—can be designed as explanatory comics. These can be released as simple images as the latest news to help followers understand. Through these methods, followers can more realistically understand the development and latest updates of the Buddhist Centre and grasp the profound truths within, without having to read thousands of words and rely on limited understanding to imagine fragmented content. This is what I believe needs to be implemented urgently.

In the future, if there is breaking news, or if Practitioner Su needs to make an appeal or announcement to Taiwan and the rest of the world, I suggest following the above approach by producing simple comic-style explanatory graphics. These graphics can be further developed into short videos to penetrate various digital platforms.

This is the key to making information clear at a glance, circulating it across platforms, and capturing heat and traffic.

Regarding detailed graphic design or illustrations for individual articles, the principle is that simple is fine. The point is to ensure the content does not appear dull; having a few images amidst strings of text is like an oasis in the desert. They do not need to be overly polished; having them is enough. We should reserve our time for producing graphics and short videos on important Buddhist education concepts; this is my recommended approach at present.

Establishing Dedicated Channels

Additionally, on major media platforms, I suggest establishing independent channels for responding to questions:

  • Allow questions to be diverted to avoid difficulty in responding due to information overload.
  • Ensure that a single channel will not be paralyzed by malicious attacks.
  • Answer relevant questions according to the demographic attributes of different platforms.
  • Assign different channels to fellow practitioners who are skilled in different fields, or even those closer to those specific fields, to assist in collecting questions, asking the Buddha, and providing answers.

The above are my basic thoughts on promoting and circulating Namo Amituofo in Taiwan. If there is a need for in-depth discussion later, or if there are other execution details and difficulties, please call on me at any time. I will be waiting for everyone in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I dare not say my merits outweigh my faults, but I am certain of this: in the face of Taiwan’s current situation and the severe light and electrical pollution caused by advanced technology, to reverse the situation of deteriorating human hearts, promoting Namo Amituofo to Taiwan is one of my missions.

Please do not hesitate to discuss and exchange ideas with me; I will definitely do my utmost to help everyone come up with proper solutions. There is no such thing as an unsolvable problem, only insufficient effort.

Thank you, Namo Amituofo. Thank you, Practitioner Su, for giving me this opportunity to help the people of Taiwan learn the Buddha’s teachings.

Namo Amituofo.
