When the Lotus Opens, You See the Buddha

The Blossoming of the Lotus

My dear children, when it is said that "when the flower opens, one sees the Buddha and realizes the unborn," it refers to the lotus that resides within the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. If your spirits naturally elevate and continue to ascend, you will resonate with the lotus, causing it to open of its own accord. Upon this opening, you will enter the Land of Real Reward. There, you will behold the golden body of Amitabha, appearing even more majestic and towering than you could have imagined. All of this is a manifestation of your heart being perfectly in sync with the heart of Amitabha. To realize this is to reach a state of great awakening—a profound understanding of the Dharma of the Unborn, where one perceives that all things are neither born nor destroyed.

The Path Through the Five Turbidities

My children, you must engage in diligent practice! The worldly realm is a place of the Five Turbidities and Evil World, filled with immense suffering. Now that you have encountered Namo Amituofo, you must simply listen and follow the teachings. Practise the Dharma correctly and according to the principles. Follow the guidance provided by Namo Amituofo, the teachings of Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju, and the instructions given by Practitioner Su. By moving forward step by step, and through the combination of your own self-power arising and the support of the Buddha's blessings, you will have the opportunity to break through your various obstacles and become an awakened being.

The Eternal Journey of Awakening

This is possible because the Dharma protectors are constantly surrounding you, assisting you in removing external disturbances. However, when it comes to your internal demons or internal disturbances, you must rely on yourself. You must sincerely engage in repenting, reflecting upon your own actions, and making the necessary improvements to your character. Practice is a journey without a final end, and the work of saving beings is even more infinite. In the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, it is a place where the heart and the mouth are in perfect unity. There are no discriminations and no obstacles. Everyone continues their practice, everyone continues their diligent practice, and everyone works to attain Buddhahood. The mission of saving beings continues without pause, forever and ever. Namo Amituofo.
