Ai Jin-Fang:

Hello everyone, I would like to apologise to my family. The end came a bit too quickly, and I did not manage to explain things properly and solemnly to everyone.

However, such is life. At the very end of my life, I truly had no control, my whole body was weak; this is the final state of life. What you may not know is that at the end of life, one must go through the process of being pursued by karmic creditors, and the various signs of ageing and decline are one of the phenomena of this.

Having experienced all this, I was very confused at first, and even after my death, I still did not understand. It was not until I was saved through Chao Du by my family and invited into the Western Land of Dharma Nature that I truly woke up. It has been over ten years in the blink of an eye; it is truly unbelievable. I did not know that so much time had passed in the world, and that my family had aged another ten years, but this is the path that everyone must take in life.

Having gone through all this, it does not seem so surprising to me, but when I think of my descendants, if they all have to follow the same path as me, I am quite worried for them. However, after listening to the sutras in the Dharma-Nature Land, I understand that my grandson actually has much better good roots than I do. At a young age, he has been able to come into contact with the Buddha’s teachings and has the opportunity to learn and understand the Truth of life. If he can study diligently and truly let go of himself, he will certainly achieve something quite extraordinary.

Whether or not people believe in rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss depends on their own Causal Conditions. This is of no consequence, because the fact is as it is, and there is no need for excessive explanation.

That my spirit was able to be saved, and that I am now following Namo Amituofo, learning the Buddha’s teachings in such a beautiful Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, and living such a comfortable life, is the absolute Truth. Whether my family on Earth believes it or not, and whether my relatives and friends are willing to accept it, it has no impact on me whatsoever.

If they can believe and are willing to come into contact with the temple, they will naturally be able to learn the precious Great Dharma of Namo Amituofo; if they cannot, that is also a natural matter within the laws of karma and cause and effect. In fact, for those who practise the Buddha’s teachings, there are no obstacles.

I hope that if my family has the opportunity to come into contact with the temple, they will be able to learn the Buddha’s teachings; and all of this should come from their own efforts and choices, without being overly concerned about the opinions of others. Whether they believe it or not, one must still abide by the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way; this is the foundation of practising the Buddha’s teachings.

That I am able to come to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss today is also due to the filial piety of my family. It is this thought of filial piety and Goodness that has brought about this magnificent Causal Condition.

I am very grateful to everyone for helping me. Now, in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, I live a life where I lack nothing, and my physical strength and spirit have recovered to the state of being in my twenties or thirties, or even younger. Here, I do not have any afflictions, and I do not even think about my own state. I am completely in a state of serenity and peace, living a very comfortable life with freedom and ease, so my family does not need to worry about me anymore.

The ten years after I passed away, although I experienced the suffering of the ghost realm, it was a natural manifestation within the laws of karma and cause and effect, and it was the karma I had to repay. Now, all of this has passed.

I am very grateful to Namo Amituofo, Practitioner Su, and my family for helping me come to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I hope that one day, we can meet in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

I wish everyone success in practising the Buddha’s teachings.

Namo Amituofo
