This is a record of an interview with Zhou Yunhan, who sought at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Nature. This account reflects upon his life in Taiwan during the late twentieth century. Recorded by the chief writer, Fa Ning, on April 11, 2026.
Zhou Yunhan speaks:
". I am deeply grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for calling my name, Zhou Yunhan. I have been residing in the Western Land of Dharma Nature for quite some time now. When Namo Amituofo identified me as a political figure, I looked at the list of those being interviewed and felt a sense of humility. In truth, I was merely a very minor figure in the political arena, hardly worthy of such a title. When I possessed a human body, I was a Taiwanese man, raised in Taipei, serving as a right-hand man to various political figures. However, because I worked behind the scenes, my image was never made public, and the world likely has no memory of my name. I simply worked quietly in the shadows to support those who were the true faces of politics, while occasionally managing my own amateur pursuits on the side."
A Life of Service and the Transition to the Beyond
"At the time, I was a member of the Kuomintang. I served not just one, but many political figures, moving from one position to another as the need arose—that was simply the nature of my duty. I was active throughout the 1980s. After years of service, I fell gravely ill in the early 2000s and departed from the human world. I was only in my fifties, not particularly old by any measure. I had never committed any heinous acts in my life, nor was I a saint, so after I passed away, I remained trapped within the space of my own attachments, unable to find a way out.
The reason I eventually arrived at the Western Land of Dharma Nature is that Practitioner Su had placed many Namo Amituofo billboards across the island of Taiwan. I happened to see one of these billboards, and as I followed the golden light emanating from it, I was drawn into the light itself. Suddenly, I found myself here in the Western Land of Dharma Nature. Everything changed so rapidly; I never imagined that a single billboard could exert such a profound influence. Later, when I looked back at that same billboard from the vantage point of the Western Land of Dharma Nature, I realised that the degree to which the Namo Amituofo billboard shines is far beyond what I could have perceived while I was still in the human world. Across Taiwan, there are many such billboards currently saving hundreds of millions of beings in the spiritual realms, helping them escape the sea of suffering and reach the Western Land of Dharma Nature."
The Unseen Potential of the Dharma
"I, Zhou Yunhan, believe that this phenomenon should be causing a sensation among the people of Taiwan; it should not be as quiet as it currently is. Perhaps some people know of the billboards, but they fail to grasp their true significance, and I find that to be such a great pity! As a Taiwanese person, having just heard the insights shared by the second financier, I am filled with deep emotion. My philosophy is entirely in alignment with his. As a Taiwanese person, I deeply understand that the magnificence of the Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre lies in the fact that it is a fundamental Dharma. It is a truly complete Buddhist education that can genuinely help people elevate and liberate their body, mind, and spirit. Liberation means being able to follow Namo Amituofo to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, without having to endure the cycle of rebirth in the six realms of existence ever again. Of this, I am now absolutely certain here in the Western Land of Dharma Nature.
However, how can we make the vast population of Taiwan believe this? I have been constantly reflecting on this, especially regarding the financial groups. I believe there are many financial groups in Taiwan, and indeed, many with Buddhist backgrounds, but they are only performing superficial work. Although they profess to believe in Buddhism, the masters or groups they rely upon are mostly focused on Humanistic Buddhism, which only addresses the various miscellaneous problems of the human world. Even then, their approach is merely skin-deep; they do not truly delve into the inner hearts of people, let alone explore the high technology of the Buddha’s teachings, the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way."
The Need for Professionalisation
"Such Buddhist groups are very active in Taiwan, bringing people a sense of peace, , and hope for their body, mind, and spirit. But when it comes down to it, how many people in the world know the true state of their own spirit after death? How many of these masters, abbots, or lay practitioners truly know that the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Namo Amituofo is a place where everyone can immigrate? I suspect they do not know. Therefore, looking at the promotion Practitioner Su is conducting in Taiwan, I feel that there is still a great deal of room for the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to develop.
Now, looking back at Taiwan from the Western Land of Dharma Nature, it is evident that the major, well-known Buddhist groups are far more active in the media and on the internet than the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. This is primarily because these groups rely on large teams of professionals to handle their promotion, whereas the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is smaller in scale, and its online operations are planned entirely by internal staff. With very limited time, these staff members are spread across various duties and cannot focus exclusively on online promotion.
Therefore, I, Zhou Yunhan, believe that the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre must adopt a more active and aggressive approach, bringing in external talent to help them understand the operations of the Centre and conduct promotion on our behalf. My observations and suggestions are as follows:"
Professional Promotion and Digital Reach
"Regarding the necessity of professional promotion: (a) Promotion must be conducted entirely in accordance with the guidance and instructions of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su. (b) With the assistance of professionals, many concepts and execution strategies can be quickly put into action and presented to the world. (c) Operating in a faster, more time-efficient manner can prevent internal staff from having their focus diluted by juggling multiple roles.
Regarding the massive demand for online information: (a) Nowadays, whether they are young people in their twenties or thirties, or middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties or sixties, everyone is highly dependent on the internet to obtain information about Buddhist groups in order to seek peace of mind. (b) If we can obtain guidance from professionals to conduct more concentrated and effective promotion—regardless of whether a budget is spent—both approaches can be carried out simultaneously."
Revealing the Great Work of Salvation
"Regarding the display of this precious work of salvation: (a) The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is performing the greatest work of salvation in the world, yet much of its precious nature has not yet been brought to the surface for the world to know. I believe that making the precious data of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre public is the most direct way to bring the fact that Namo Amituofo is residing at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to the forefront. (b) Whether in Taiwan or the global Chinese-speaking world, there are many people who believe in the Buddha’s teachings, but many have not yet seen the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre. (c) This is not because the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is inferior to other groups, but because the philosophy and work of salvation have not yet been spread across the internet in a way that provides precise information suitable for modern people to absorb."
A Call to Action
"Under the leadership of Practitioner Su, many interviews have been produced and numerous spiritual exchanges have been conducted, but most remain unknown to the world. Many people feel they have discovered the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre too late. If we can more actively promote everything that Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su have done, especially the core themes of Chao Du and leading people to not grow old, not get sick, and the spirit does not die, we will certainly attract more people who are willing to learn the Buddha’s teachings.
The Buddhist education at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre is not rigid; it is vivid, lively, and contains high-tech components. What is currently lacking is a proper and effective method of promotion. We are not trying to imitate others, but if we want to meet the world in a way they can understand, we must indeed combine the methods and perspectives of worldly people to lead them to truly enter the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to understand. In doing so, we may be able to save even more beings. While hiring external people to help, we can also use this opportunity to understand their level of awareness regarding the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and provide more detailed introductions to the parts they cannot understand, thereby filling the gaps.
Speaking of financial groups, I believe that in a country like Taiwan, which is not very large, once people have gained a substantial understanding of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, it will certainly attract suitable financial groups to come and consult voluntarily. Through the power of word-of-mouth, we can certainly seize this opportunity to let more financial groups know about and become close to the Buddha’s teachings. As long as we present our promotional work and the salvation work of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in its true form, I believe those with karmic affinity will naturally come, and those without it will naturally not have this opportunity. This is the talent the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre needs most right now, and it is also part of the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way.
Finally, I am once again grateful to Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su for giving me this opportunity to share a few words. Having once been a Taiwanese person, seeing that Practitioner Su in Taiwan has achieved such an awakened being status, and can perform Chao Du for such a vast number of spirits and demon crowds, fills my heart with great emotion. If I could have this human body and be active in the world, I would certainly contribute my strength to the cause of bringing Namo Amituofo at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to the forefront. Finally, I ask Practitioner Su not to forget the power of the Taiwanese media. If any media with karmic affinity is willing to come for an interview, that would be a very important step in bringing Namo Amituofo at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre to the forefront.
