Welcoming the Path to Awakening

Transforming the Self

The "self," personal ego, and selfishness are deeply ingrained within us. While they are difficult to change, they can be transformed through sincere effort. By choosing to let go of these attachments, you welcome the path to becoming an awakened being.

Through the diligent practice of the Buddha’s teachings, you begin the essential work of Purifying the body, heart, and spirit. As you engage in this process, you welcome the radiant light of your true self to shine through the darkness of confusion.

The Path of Physical and Spiritual Renewal

As your practice deepens, your cells are activated and your physical energy is elevated. This is how you welcome a body that does not age in the way of the world. By resolving the conflict with your karmic creditors and inviting spirits to leave your body, you cleanse your physical form. This purification allows you to welcome a body that is free from the burdens of illness.

Make the firm vow for rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and act upon it with absolute sincerity. In doing so, you welcome the gateway to immortality in the Western Land, ensuring that your journey leads toward eternal peace.

The True Meaning of Welcoming

What the world typically welcomes is often for personal gain and profit. However, such pursuits are merely the cycle of being reincarnated, keeping us bound to the world of suffering. In contrast, what the Buddha’s teachings welcome is the path to leaving the cycle of rebirth behind entirely.

We welcome this path for the sake of all beings. We welcome the beauty, hope, and light within our true self, so that we may all enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss together. This is the ultimate goal of our practice.
