This is a record of an interview with Linna Bingyavala, a representative from the Paramaya Planet, who sought Spiritual Deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. This account reflects upon the encounter recorded by the chief writer, Shi Haliang, on May 5, 2017.
Shi Haliang speaks:
"Today, while listening to the talks this morning, Venerable Faxi received a message that a representative from a planet outside our galaxy had arrived to seek Spiritual Deliverance. It was noted that thirty thousand extraterrestrial beings—those who had arrived on Earth and suffered damage or casualties—were in need of deliverance. Given this significant Causal Condition, I, Haliang, was tasked with conducting this interview."
(Ten bows to the Buddha)
"I extend a sincere invitation. We welcome the representative from the Paramaya Planet, Linna Bingyavala, to accept our interview."
An Arrival from Beyond the Stars
(The visitor arrives. A massive UFO hovers in the space above. At first, only an alien language is heard. I do not understand it, so I casually reply, 'Da-da-di-da-da,' remembering that the Buddha teaches through various sounds, and beings understand according to their own nature.)
Linna Bingyavala speaks:
"Da-da-di-da-da. We have arrived. Today, we are pleased to accept this interview. To be thorough, the citizens of our planet dispatched a welcoming saucer to bring me here. I must specifically describe the moment we first arrived on Earth. Due to the influence of the atmosphere, we are currently making slight adjustments to synchronize the content of this visit back to the Paramaya Planet."
Shi Haliang speaks:
"Very well, no problem. You appear to be wearing a transparent garment, and your prominent facial features are quite distinct. Your fingers are very long and emit light. Please introduce your planet so we may understand you better."
The Nature of the Paramaya People
Linna Bingyavala speaks:
"Da-da-di-da-da. I am ready for the interview now. In just two or three minutes, I have replenished my energy. I did not know how to address you at first, but our planet immediately transmitted your latest data to me, and I now know you are Venerable Haliang. Our primary purpose in coming here today is to establish diplomatic relations. Although there are obvious differences between us and what you call Earth humans—in certain living habits or the physical forms perceived by the naked eye—we share a commonality: high spirituality.
"Even if we do not necessarily speak aloud, we know your thoughts and vibrations. To put it more clearly, this is what you call 'reading minds.' This is also why we specifically requested that Venerable Haliang interview us, as you seem to possess this same ability. Furthermore, most of the beings at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre were once extraterrestrials themselves, just from different planets. Venerable Haliang, you have a profound connection with us, which is why we came here today to open this light-year channel.
"The Paramaya Planet does not belong to the Milky Way galaxy. The main reason is that it is simply too far away—nearly one trillion light-years—so you cannot find us within the Milky Way. Yet, in fact, we exist within the same universe. The Paramaya Planet is a lovely place with very advanced technology. From our external equipment, we look quite modern; we wear wireless communicators on our ears that can change screen sizes—small like your Bluetooth headsets, or large like small laptops. Most people on Earth imagine extraterrestrials as having large heads and large eyes, but we are not like that. Earth humans find our appearance quite acceptable; almost everyone who has seen our people calls us 'transparent people.' We are born with this natural, transparent protective layer. This garment has the omnipotent function of regulating our bodies at any time. It adjusts our temperature, allowing us to maintain a constant state regardless of the climate we encounter. That is why there is rarely any such thing as illness on our planet."
Family Configurations and Social Structure
"We have a family system, but it is a very large clan. There is no romantic love between men and women, yet we have the function of propagating the next generation. A couple only needs to touch fingers to conceive, but they must apply to the Headquarters Population Administration. We are simply configured with family members who have homogeneity with us—two members of homogeneity and two members of complementarity. Thus, a family of four is the basic configuration. Why do we call families 'configurations'? It is what Earth humans call 'eugenics' or DNA.
"Every year, there is a 'great family gathering' to bring together the source relatives of the four members to care for one another. There is no limit; it is the four members' four members, and so on, gathering together. The largest family gathering I have seen involved over five thousand people. My own great family gathering consists of three thousand two hundred and eighty-eight people. Since our population is three hundred and seventy-eight billion nine hundred million, you can imagine how grand a gathering is. Therefore, our annual great family gathering is divided into four segments to stagger the numbers. You might be curious if we have children; yes, we do."
The Quest for Energy
Shi Haliang speaks:
"May I ask how you came to the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre this morning?"
Linna Bingyavala speaks:
"In this sense, energy is the source of our power as extraterrestrials. In fact, many extraterrestrials are currently sent to Earth to understand human thought, living habits, and technological development. Our diet is very simple—what we call 'energy meals.' Many places have dining restaurants providing meals, such as energy soup, delicious energy burgers, and joyful cola, all of which are very tasty. The only difference on our planet is that our gardens are greenhouse gardens. They are very large and contain various types of flowers, all of which are edible. You can purchase and eat them on the spot, and even leave the fragrance of the flower on your breath.
"In truth, our planet is facing an energy support shortage. We only have about two thousand years of energy quality left, which is not a safe indicator. Therefore, we are actively looking for energy sources. The lack of energy seems to have troubled many planets for a long time, which is why they have sent representatives to take risks and travel to various planets to search. Just this morning, we paused in the airspace of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre and were very surprised to see that this place could perform for extraterrestrials who had been damaged or suffered casualties on Earth. We were astonished and wanted to establish diplomatic relations here so that high-level spirits could communicate in the future. This would be a great benefit to our planet. Our planet also has what you call death, although our lifespan is about two hundred years. We rarely see the appearance of death; it almost always happens at home, where one slowly loses their light. Family members then return to the Headquarters Population Administration for cancellation. Although the environmental welfare of our planet is excellent, the two-hundred-year limit remains. We would like to ask: why is the energy in this place so strong, and the light so great? What is the reason?"
The Power of
Shi Haliang speaks:
"That is a good question. We who reside at the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre are all people who chant the Buddha's name. Under the guidance of our most compassionate Practitioner Su—whom everyone calls 'Buddha Su'—we teach the Dharma, open up space, and help us open our hearts. She tells us to change our personality traits and habits, to look for the goodness in others, to grow our , and to achieve the fruit of . We must always keep our hearts pure and kind. She also teaches us to treat people and handle affairs with a sense of oneness, without distinguishing between 'self' and 'other.' Most importantly, there is this phrase: 'Namo Amituofo.' There is also the heart to save the world. The energy you are exploring is this very phrase: 'Namo Amituofo.' You can take it back and share it. As long as you know how to chant this, you will not be limited to a two-hundred-year lifespan. There is no death; rather, it is the spirit that can be the master. We are all high-level spirits, but listening to Buddha Su's Dharma talks would be even more effective!"
Linna Bingyavala speaks:
"Does chanting 'Namo Amituofo' produce such great energy? It not only helps oneself but can also help others. Can the citizens of the Paramaya Planet also chant the Buddha's name to reach the Buddha-land of Namo Amituofo? Data shows that before we arrived, other extraterrestrials had come here to seek Spiritual Deliverance, and they have already gone to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. That is why our planet sent me to understand the truth. May I ask which department we should apply to for this?"
Shi Haliang speaks:
"There is no need for a special application. The Buddha is compassionate. Just chant the Buddha's name—chant 'Namo Amituofo.' This is a skillful means. As for establishing diplomatic relations, establish them with Namo Amituofo. We do not engage in such things; we only want to save people and save the world. Namo Amituofo."
Linna Bingyavala speaks:
"Thank you for telling us about such a precious source of energy. Namo Amituofo."
