Namo Amituofo’s discourse:

At the place where Namo Amituofo resides, in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia,

at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, because of the protection of Amitabha, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su,

and through diligent practice, this lifetime is different.

Under the guidance of Practitioner Su, one uses one day as two and diligently performs prostrations.

To practise diligently within a limited life,

if one can overcome drowsiness and enter space, this is overcoming physical obstacles in practice.

Those who take a great step forward are those with hope of realising their true nature!

In this process,

one tempers and overcomes various character traits encountered in such situations.

For instance, when facing and overcoming drowsiness to enter space,

if one can pass through smoothly, one is advancing according to one's vows, with one's vow-power remaining unyielding.

Raise high awareness and be able to change personality traits;

those who desire to realise their true nature must change until not a single trace of personality remains.

For example, make good use of time, work silently and directly;

within limited time, choose the Dharma well, complete many tasks,

and still maintain an unmoved mind and a peaceful attitude, not giving rise to anger due to fatigue,

so that tasks can be completed perfectly.

Maintain a calm and peaceful heart, without fluctuations.

Be able to raise the Buddha-name at any time, do not forget the Buddha-name,

and even 24/7, with continuous chanting without interruption,

only then can one recite the Buddha-name during times of emergency and terror to be saved.

Recite Namo Amituofo—Buddha of Infinite Life, also known as Buddha of Infinite Light, Buddha of Boundless Light,

Buddha of Unhindered Light, Buddha of Unequalled Light, Light of Wisdom, Light of Constant Illumination, Light of Purity, Light of Joy,

Light of Liberation, Light of Peace and Stability, Light Surpassing the Sun and Moon, and Inconceivable Light.

One can replenish energy through the focused recitation of the Buddha-name, sound after sound.

This lifetime of practice is different,

because one has encountered Amitabha, Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and Practitioner Su, so this lifetime is the final lifetime,

to practise diligently to find one's true self, and to be able to enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
