The Illusion of Change and the Eternal True Self

The Relentless Currents of Worldly Flux

The world is a realm defined by the relentless currents of constant flux. We bear witness to the shifting heart, the transforming body, and the changing face. How swiftly the ways of this world transform! Yet, amidst this turbulence, there remains an eternal, unchanging essence: your true self. Whether things change or remain the same depends entirely on the state of your heart. In this world, we often experience a changing heart, a changing body, and a changing face. One moment you are one way, and the next, you are another. This is the nature of worldly existence, where everything is in a state of constant transition.

The Unchanging Essence of the True Self

However, your true self is not subject to this cycle. It is constant and unchanging. When you practise the Pure Land teachings, you learn to regulate your heart with goodness. With a heart of boundless compassion, you can transcend the limitations of the ordinary and touch the eternal. The heart of compassion is truly without equal.

The Sacred Path of Purifying the Six Roots

Your ordinary heart, ordinary body, and ordinary face are all inextricably linked. When the heart changes, the body follows. When both the heart and body change, the face changes as well. These three are interconnected in a constant state of flux. This is why the purification of the Six Roots is so vital to your spiritual progress. It is the essential process of refining your being.

Returning to the Pristine State of Being

Through the influence of the True Teachings, you can understand the infinite meanings of the Dharma. You must strive to return to your original, pure state. By realising your true nature, you embody the Dharma Body and engage in the work of saving the world. This is the path of Namo Amituofo, leading you back to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
