Every time the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre conducts the , we witness a truly magnificent sight. With presiding over the ceremony and Practitioner Su leading the assembly, an immeasurable multitude of spirits from across the vast Realm arrives at the temple. They come with a singular, earnest request: to receive and be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This profound gathering serves as a testament to the supreme power and of Namo Amituofo and the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Indeed, the spirits who attend this ceremony are the first to be blessed with the opportunity for rebirth.
Beings from Across the Universe
In the far reaches of the cosmos, outer space is sustained by energy, which also supports the existence of all beings residing on those distant planets. We have come to understand that beings from planets even beyond our own Milky Way galaxy are now seeking a higher form of energy and a path to true survival. Driven by this deep necessity, they travel vast distances to reach our temple, fervently pleading for the chance to enter the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The beings who participate in this grand event and seek Spiritual Deliverance are not limited to those from interstellar realms. The assembly includes a diverse and holy gathering of beings from various dimensions, such as:
The holy assembly of the Flower Adornment realm, who bring their profound wisdom.
Beings from the Four Sacred Realms, who seek to further their spiritual journey.
Celestial beings, who come to offer their praise and support.
Countless spirits from the spiritual world, all seeking the light of the Buddha.
The Unique Role of Practitioner Su
Many of these beings have never before heard the six-character name of Namo Amituofo. They were entirely unaware of the supreme nature of the Buddha-name or the existence of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. It is only after Practitioner Su performs the Chao Du through his that they finally come to understand the truth. Even among those who have heard of the Pure Land, many do not fully grasp the nature of suffering, making it difficult for them to focus their minds on chanting the Buddha-name with the single-mindedness required for rebirth.
Practitioner Su is currently the only person in our earthly universe who possesses the unique ability to lead beings to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and to travel freely to and from that sacred realm. This highlights the rare and precious nature of both Practitioner Su and the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre itself.
