Thus: The Truth of the Pure Land

The Eternal Resonance of Thus

Thus have I heard. This applies to that time, and it applies to this very moment. When what is seen and heard in the present moment is in sync with the true self and the Truth, the Dharma perceived is the supreme Dharma. It is the Great Dharma that rescues all beings from the agony of birth and death. The Pure Land is thus.

The Endless Cycle of Reincarnation

Beings are trapped in the endless cycle of reincarnation, drifting through the six realms without rest. They are burdened by the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and are constantly rushing about for their daily lives. In doing so, they forget what is the true self and what is the Truth. They allow their karmic creditors and those with whom they have karmic affinity to dictate their lives.

They are caught in a web of collecting debts, repaying debts, repaying a kindness, and repaying grievances. They are toyed with by these forces without even knowing it, drifting along with their karma without clarity. Life after life passes in this way; when will they finally see their true self?

The Path to Awakening

The interpretations of the Buddha's words provided by Practitioner Su correctly explain the Buddha-heart of Amitabha and clarify the Buddha's intent. Those who are connected by karmic affinity must study and practise these teachings diligently. Furthermore, you must propagate them to the world to help all beings see their true nature, attain liberation, and be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
