The Jade Emperor's Journey to the Western Pure Land

This interview was recorded on October 13, 2019, at 11:25 AM. The Jade Emperor, who sought deliverance through the compassionate efforts of the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, shares his profound gratitude for the opportunity to reach the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. He currently resides in the heavenly palace, where he oversees the celestial beings and deities.

The Jade Emperor speaks:

"I am the Jade Emperor. Many celestial beings and deities from my heavenly palace have also participated in this Thrice Yearning Ceremonies, which was initiated through the compassionate grace of the Buddha. I humbly beseech the Buddha and Practitioner Su to compassionately wave their sleeves and guide these spirits to the West. For this, I am endlessly grateful. I am also deeply indebted to the kindness of Cen Xingying of the Guan family, who spoke up to request that Practitioner Su guide me to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. My heart is filled with gratitude for this act."

The Supreme Destination

"The Western Land of Ultimate Bliss is the most supreme and sacred realm. It was established and is presided over by Namo Amituofo. It is the place that all sentient beings within the six realms of existence yearn to reach. However, unless one possesses great good roots, immense Blessings, and a truly magnificent Dharma affinity, it is extremely difficult to arrive there. Even though I am the ruler of the celestial beings and deities, I must also rely upon this specific Dharma affinity to attain entry. I am truly, profoundly grateful for this opportunity."

A Request for Deliverance

"I have previously requested that Cen Xingying perform ten sessions of Chao Du. I sincerely hope that she will grant this request and that the funds for this merit can be settled in one payment. This will assist my connected celestial family members in receiving deliverance smoothly, and it will also serve as a testament to the sincerity of her commitment to this work of salvation. During this time of turmoil in Hong Kong, I, the Jade Emperor, offer my most sincere thanks and gratitude here."

Gratitude for the Dharma Assembly

"The Thrice Yearning Ceremonies, initiated by Namo Amituofo, Practitioner Su, the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, and the devoted members of the Zhang family, have allowed countless suffering spirits to receive the Buddha's grace, achieve deliverance, and leave suffering behind. On behalf of all these sentient beings, I kneel and offer my deepest thanks for the Buddha's compassion."

"Namo Amituofo!"
