The Burden of Wealth and the Path to Clarity

Ma Yun, a prominent figure in the business world, sought deliverance through the Dharma Body Chao Du at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. This record, captured on March 1, 2018, by the chief writer, Venerable Shi Faxi, documents his profound reflections on the nature of suffering, the limitations of worldly success, and his newfound clarity regarding the vital mission of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre.

Ma Yun speaks:

"Namo Amituofo. Since this morning, more messages have remained with me. My phone contains repeated records, and within my consciousness, things have become much clearer. Under the guidance of the fellow practitioner, I have seen the future full scope of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. Although my professional expertise is not in architecture, I have some experience in the field from building my own estates. Seeing the future design of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, I felt truly joyful. Regarding the preparation of funds, I am also very confident."

The Necessity of the Centre

"Through these many morning experiences, I have come to clearly understand the absolute necessity of the existence of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Australia. I must wake up quickly now, because a temple cannot be completed overnight, and the suffering of sentient beings cannot be delayed day after day. It is too bitter. This world is truly full of suffering. Although I am very wealthy, my heart is truly bitter as well. Because I did not understand how to live, and because of an education lacking in true principles, my heart did not know how to transform."

A Cause Greater Than Business

"Upon seeing the appearance of the fellow practitioner, I knew that this is a cause that must be supported. This is far more meaningful than my own business. If I can be clear-headed once more, even for just a few minutes, I will certainly exert my full strength, because I know that this place is a treasure for all people. Now, as my consciousness becomes increasingly clear, it is truly beneficial for me. I will be proactive and diligent."

"At this moment, I have almost no desires left in this world. Because my heart is cool and tranquil, there are no longer these superfluous, delusional imaginations. I hope for the Buddha's power to continue to bless me. Namo Amituofo."
