Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

In daily life,

people are busy with external people, matters, objects, studies, responsibilities, and work,

yet they neglect the needs of the heart.

In practice,

one seeks within the heart to rediscover the true self,

not clinging to the external people, matters, and objects encountered,

one can treat desires with indifference and then let go of them;

however, one must put in the work for the health of the inner Body-Mind-Spirit and the growth of the spirit.

Because only by letting the spirit shine brightly can one be in sync with the true self,

and rediscover one's original true face.

The Body-Mind-Spirit Mentor leads us to see the deficiencies and needs of our inner Body-Mind-Spirit,

to supplement them, and to rediscover the true self that was originally there.

Furthermore, recognise that the perceived deficiencies are, in reality, nothing left;

it is the drive of karma that causes one to have such feelings, which are not true.

Do not cling, for attachment brings suffering.

If one can "see through" and "let go," and face things calmly without being disturbed by external environments,

one can always maintain peace and stability in the heart.

The Body-Mind-Spirit Mentor leads the masses,

to find back the stability, completeness, satisfaction, and gratitude in their hearts.

These were originally there!

However, due to being reincarnated and confusion, the heart of stability, completeness, satisfaction, and gratitude is obstructed,

replaced by emotions such as anxiety, dissatisfaction, discontent, pickiness, jealousy, resentment,

sorrow, sadness, distress, and hatred.

There may be times of joy, satisfaction, and gratitude,

but relatively speaking, positive reactions are always so lacking,

while negative reactions and actual situations can be spoken of at length.

Why is there such a difference?

It is because people are accustomed to looking at the bad, seeing deficiencies or faults directly,

and then bringing up so-called reviews and discussions.

For Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, those with virtue in practice, those with true "attainment," or those who have realised their true nature,

they know how difficult it is for someone to point out the deficiencies in their practice.

One should be grateful to the other person, rather than being unable to let go of one's pride and arguing back or walking away.

Losing the opportunity to elevate the quality of one's spirit is truly a pity!

The Buddha’s teachings are hard to hear, yet now we have heard them;

entering the Buddha’s gate is not easy, yet now we have entered.

Today, the great Body-Mind-Spirit Mentor, Namo Amituofo,

abides at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

If the fourfold assembly can follow the teachings, practise diligently,

and, with the Buddha's blessings, be able to rediscover the true self early and follow the Buddha to save all suffering beings,

this is also what those who are compassionate and diligent hope for.
