Where Suffering Abides, There You Must Go

The Compassionate Path of the Bodhisattva

Wherever there is suffering, that is where you must go. This is the heart and action of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is also the path taken by those who have realised their true nature and possess a heart of pure compassion. Wherever there are sentient beings in need, you must go to them. Whether they are connected to you by karmic affinity or not, all beings are one entity. You must view them with the same love and concern you would offer to your own family.

The Roots of Physical and Mental Suffering

You suffer in your physical body because your personal ego, selfishness, and deep-seated habits remain unchanged. When anger arises within you, the processes of ageing and illness inevitably manifest. Your heart suffers, your mind is filled with turbulent waves, and your wandering thoughts are difficult to quieten. The emotional attachments that bind your heart have not yet been severed. These are the very things that keep you trapped in the cycle of rebirth, and they are the reasons why all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and those who have realised their true nature seek to save you.

The Urgency of Your Awakening

I wish for you to awaken quickly. Countless beings, including your family members and those with whom you share a karmic connection, are waiting for you. They are waiting for you to achieve Awakening and realise your true nature, for only then will you have the power to help them leave suffering behind. Do not let your family members and the sentient beings who rely on you wait for too long. The six realms of existence are filled with suffering, and this world is like a burning house that offers no true peace. All these beings are waiting to be saved. You must chant Namo Amituofo to leave suffering behind and guide them to the Western Pure Land.

The Power of the Holy Name

Countless beings, who are one with you in essence, are waiting to hear the holy name of Namo Amituofo. When they hear it, the Vajra Seed of the Buddha's name enters directly into their ears and settles deep within their hearts. This transforms those who had no connection into those who are now connected by karmic affinity. All these beings are waiting for you to realise your true nature as soon as possible, so that they may be saved and find rebirth in the Western Pure Land. Namo Amituofo.
