The Wisdom of Seeing Through
Teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju
Transcending the Dusty World
To see through the red dust of this world is to enter the realm of no-dust. This is the vital transition from worldly connections to affinity. When you are fortunate enough to encounter the teachings of Namo Amituofo, you have been granted a magnificent opportunity to reclaim the supreme wisdom of your life. How long must one wait before a child of Namo Amituofo can return home? The answer lies in whether you have truly seen through the illusions of this current life.
The Reality of Practice
The principles of "see through" and "let go" must come first. Only then can you engage in diligent practice to see your true self. These are not merely empty words to be spoken; they are the foundation of your actual, daily practice. You must walk this path with your own feet. The benefits of the Dharma are not obtained from thin air; if you do not put in the work, it is difficult to achieve success.
The Architecture of the Heart
The path of , , and Selfless Giving is a transformative process. You must see through the past and resolve never to return to those old, stagnant ways of thinking. What is the state of your heart today? A towering building is constructed by the mind, and it can be razed to the ground by the same mind. If your heart is filled with turmoil, you will remain trapped in the cycle of rebirth. However, if you can cultivate a heart that is still and undisturbed, you will succeed.
Harmonising with the Ultimate Vow
Do not allow your mind to be disturbed; instead, return to a state of peace and clarity. Keep your heart and mind inseparable from Namo Amituofo at every moment. This is what it means to be in sync with the Ultimate Vow. When you reach this state, you will realise that the secret of "seeing through" has been within you all along.
This message was recorded by the Buddhist disciple Venerable HaiZe.
