Passing in a Flash: A Call to Diligent Practice

The Swift Passage of Time

To the fourfold assembly, the days spent here at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre pass in a flash. How much time has truly slipped by since you first arrived? Have you truly come to know Namo Amituofo and the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss? Are you able to comprehend and deeply feel the vow and the tireless efforts of Namo Amituofo, myself, and Practitioner Su to rescue all beings from their suffering? Are you willing to engage in diligent practice, let go of the past, and wholeheartedly join the ranks of those working to save the world and deliver all beings?

Unseen Deliverance Across Dimensions

The Thrice Yearning Ceremony is held for three consecutive days each week, and these days pass by quickly. The fourfold assembly must have faith. In dimensions invisible to the physical eye—encompassing the Earth, the universe, the galaxy, the heavens beyond, and the realms of demonic beings—the work of the Dharma assembly is constant. During every session of the ceremony, Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su have already performed Chao Du for immeasurable and boundless beings, guiding them to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss or the realms of humans and heavens. They have also subdued countless demonic beings, bringing them into the Western Land of Dharma Nature.

The Transformative Power of the Dharma-Nature Land

For these beings who have been saved and these demons who have been subdued, this is an opportunity that is difficult to encounter in millions of years. From this moment on, they are able to live a completely new life. Especially for the demonic beings, once they are brought to the Western Land of Dharma Nature, they cease to create negative karma. Consequently, they no longer suffer the bitter fruits of their past actions. This is the Western Land of Dharma Nature—a magnificent realm manifested through the Buddha-heart. It has the power to regulate the hearts of all beings, causing their inherent Goodness and Buddha-nature to manifest. In this state, they will not give rise to even a single evil thought, just as it is in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Awakening to the Call of the Buddha

As these days of diligent practice pass by, how much have you succeeded in purifying your body, heart, and spirit? Can you chant Namo Amituofo well? Can you hold the Buddha-name firmly in your mind? Within the Buddha-name, there is supreme merit and the power of the Buddha's blessings. Is the fourfold assembly able to receive this? Can you hear the voice of Namo Amituofo and my own voice calling out to you? Can you open up space and hear the voices of all living creatures across the earth? These are natural occurrences here at Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, and they await the fourfold assembly to naturally attain them after diligent purification. The days pass in a flash; you must grasp every minute and every second. Do not let them pass in vain.
