Following the Buddha

The Sanctuary of the Buddha's Presence

Wherever the Buddha abides, there is true peace. When you invite spirits to join us in this sacred space, you must understand that the Buddha's presence is not merely a physical location, but a profound state of being. It is a sanctuary where the mind can finally rest, liberated from the turbulence of the world. In this space, the soul finds the stillness required to look inward and begin the journey of spiritual transformation.

The Path of Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom

To walk this path, one must diligently cultivate the Threefold Training. You must uphold the Precepts, which provide the essential foundation for your practice. From these precepts, you will naturally develop meditative concentration. As your concentration deepens, your wisdom will grow, allowing you to see the truth of existence with clarity and compassion. This is the steady progression that leads to the purification of the mind.

Aligning with the Buddha-Heart

You are encouraged to align your heart, your Buddha-vow, and your Buddha-actions with those of the Buddha. Do not let these qualities remain separate from your daily life. Instead, let them be fused within your heart, never to be separated, so that you may carry the Buddha's light wherever you go. In every step you take and in every place you visit, you must realise the truth of non-arising—the profound understanding that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence.

The Grace of Infinite Deliverance

When you reach this state of profound realisation, a brilliant, radiant light will emerge, carrying infinite meaning and compassion. We see that all beings have hurried here, seeking salvation from the cycle of suffering. Know that the Buddha's grace is always being bestowed upon you, silently and effectively, within the state of non-action. This is the path to liberation, recorded by the chief writer, disciple Venerable HaiZe.
