Words of the Buddha: Awakening from the Dream

The Illusion of the Dream

All that is currently being done is within a dream, serving as Buddha-work within the dream. It is to save beings in the vast ocean of reincarnation, to depart from the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death. It is to achieve the seeing of the Truth, the seeing of one's nature, and to save oneself and others to be reborn in the Western Pure Land.

The Sanctuary of Hsiang Kuang

Beings are currently trapped in suffering. Namo Amituofo abides at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, having come to save beings from suffering. We invite spirits to come to Hsiang Kuang, to depart from the sea of birth and death, and to make vows to be reborn in the Western Pure Land.

The Power of the Six-Syllable Name

The six-syllable great name is the backbone. Practise chanting the Buddha's name without slackening, maintaining a firm and concentrated focus with every single sound. Let the Buddha-name resonate 24/7, orbiting your body, heart, and spirit. Do not let the external world shake your heart. By cultivating Compassion, Joy, and Selfless Giving, and making the vow to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you become a true Pure Land practitioner.

Waking Up from the Long Sleep

Life is but a play within a dream. Within this play, we must act with sincerity to find the Truth. We seek to recover our original nature and then return to save those still lost in the dream. Many have entered this dream and forgotten how to wake up, lingering in illusory realms. They suffer endlessly, believing that life is meant to be this way. However, when the holy name of Namo Amituofo resounds, it pierces through the dream, shaking the deluded dreamer awake.

Transcending the Layers of Space

The universe is composed of countless overlapping layers of space. The beings within these spaces are like those in a dream. One dream may last for hundreds of thousands of years, yet they remain in the dream, unaware of its illusory nature. This continues until the Dharma Body performs Chao Du, entering these spaces. The Buddha-light and the Buddha-name shatter the dream, rescuing those trapped within.
