Namo Amituofo Awaits the Return of His Children

On the 16th of September, 2017, the disciple Shi Faxin respectfully invited Namo Amituofo to provide his compassionate teachings. Namo Amituofo spoke to the heart of the practitioner, offering a reflection on the nature of our existence and the path back to our true home.

The Transient Clouds of Human Existence

Green clouds brush against the sleeves, gracefully wandering through the human world, rising and falling in endless cycles. The human world is filled with ordinary beings. Where is true freedom? Where are we going? Amidst the rights and wrongs, let not your robes be stained.

In the playful days of childhood, we skip and jump, yet in the blink of an eye, our hair turns grey. When the end arrives, where do we go? We drift away, following the currents of karma. Yet, in the clarity of Namo Amituofo, if one can summon the great strength to stand up, fearless of stumbling, living only for the sake of all beings, one may roam the Dharma realm of emptiness, standing upon the clouds in a state of liberated ease.

The Weight of Karma and the Path of Awakening

In truth, the body is already empty. We drift through the winds, reciting the name of Namo Amituofo, our actions flowing with grace. In an instant, before Namo Amituofo, we see all those who have not yet returned home—his children, for whom he has waited for countless aeons.

When Causal Conditions mature, he welcomes us with open hands. He is always waiting for his children to return home, greeting us with a gentle, compassionate smile. Once again, we make the vow to be reborn. We must cast aside Meng Po’s soup entirely.

The Eternal Compassion of Namo Amituofo

When facing the trials of the Five Desires and the Six Dusts, can you keep your heart steady and your mind unmoved? Seek the truth within your own physical body and the Dharma Body; this is when the true power of your practice is applied. Layer upon layer of trials test the body. If you hold the vow of great compassion, you will realise that there is no time to waste.

Let your heart be at ease, moving through the world with grace. Hold firmly to the sacred name of Namo Amituofo, and simply continue your journey toward the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Everything in this human life is an illusion, yet we grasp at it with attachment. At the end, with tear-filled eyes, we look toward Namo Amituofo.

The Lotus Awaiting Your Return

The compassionate gaze of Namo Amituofo is always upon us, yearning for his children to return. The lotus flowers in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss await your return.
