The Path to One-Mind Undisturbed

The Stillness of the Heart

The mind of an ordinary person is often restless and unsettled. Because the heart is not at peace, it is difficult for one to see the truth clearly. When the heart is truly settled, you will know how to conduct your affairs, and your understanding of the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way will become fluid and unobstructed. Many people suffer because their minds are scattered among too many concerns. You must ask yourself: what is it that truly masters your life?

Only a single-minded focus can accomplish great things. By concentrating your spirit and gathering your wisdom, you can achieve a state of profound clarity. Every thought should be focused on chanting Namo Amituofo; every moment should be filled with the Buddha. Do not allow delusions or messy thoughts to arise and take root in your mind.

Cultivating the Single-Minded Path

To reach the state of One-Mind Undisturbed, you must learn to let go of all worldly entanglements and dedicate yourself entirely to chanting Namo Amituofo. When every thought is filled with the presence of the Buddha, you will find that your practice gains immense power. This power is not yours alone; it is the result of the Buddha's blessings manifesting within you. One-Mind Undisturbed is a state of deep meditative concentration and absolute purity. In this state, you are no longer swayed or confused by external circumstances.

The Peril of Unpreparedness

There are some practitioners who chant Namo Amituofo for their entire lives, believing that they have accumulated enough skill to be certain of their rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. However, they may still face a dangerous reality at the end of their lives: they may fall into a state of unconsciousness or coma, their consciousness may become clouded and unclear, and they may lose the ability to chant Namo Amituofo entirely. Therefore, you must never be careless or complacent.

Before you have realised your true nature and successfully transformed your karma, the reality of impermanence can manifest at any time. While you are still clear-headed and conscious, please practise chanting Namo Amituofo diligently. This is how you store up the necessary provisions for your journey back to the Western Pure Land.

The Living Guidance of the Centre

At the Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre, you are fortunate to have the guidance of Namo Amituofo and Practitioner Su. Practitioner Su has realised his true nature and is able to travel freely to and from the Western Pure Land. He possesses the profound skill of Chao Du, which allows him to guide beings into the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and help them attain the Dharma Body. This sacred work is now being passed on to the next generation.

Achieving One-Mind Undisturbed is the ultimate mark of success in your Pure Land practice. It is a goal that requires your utmost effort and diligent practice to realise. You are currently walking the path of saving yourself and helping other beings reach the Western Pure Land. May you continue to walk this path with unwavering faith and dedication.
