Teachings by Teacher Xia Lianju:

Beings in the worldly realm live in the Five Turbidities and Evil World,

having experienced countless cycles of reincarnation and karmic suffering, yet they have not realised they are living in misery.

When aging and the extreme suffering of illness occur, and the Body-Mind-Spirit feels pain, only then do they realise that suffering has manifested.

By the time the body perceives this suffering, karma has often already manifested, having accumulated thick layers of dust and pollution,

meaning that beings exist in layer upon layer of space, living in anxiety,

accumulating and releasing immense negative energy,

which causes the body's cells to swell and emit signals of pain and wailing.

When the physical body can feel pain, when the heart harbours fear and knows the extremity of suffering, it is the time when beings rise up to suffer and seek revenge,

you must quickly calm the heart-fire of these beings—that is, the resentment and imbalance in their hearts—and do not add fuel to the fire.

'Greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, and doubt' along with 'wealth, lust, fame, food, and sleep',

these are all elements that add fuel to the fire; the fire of anger is especially inappropriate,

just like thieves; you must always be careful and vigilant, preventing thieves from entering your home again,

if thieves enter your home, they will certainly cause even greater harm, loss, and suffering.

At this time, you must diligently chant Namo Amituofo, chanting one Buddha's name to the end.

The immense energy of compassion within the Buddha's name comes from the great compassion of Namo Amituofo’s Forty-eight Great Vows

and the blessing of immeasurable and boundless power of merit, majestic power,

which can help soothe the pain, resentment, and anger in the hearts of beings, reducing the harm caused to the body.

Especially when the suffering of illness manifests, beings are resolved batch by batch; by inviting these beings out for Chao Du,

you can reduce the spread and escalation of aging and illness.

You must utilise your own power, chant Namo Amituofo well, chant with focus, and be single-mindedly devoted to Namo Amituofo.

"arouse the Bodhi mind and single-mindedly recite Namo Amituofo"—this is the Dharma treasure that Namo Amituofo has compassionately gifted to everyone; you must use it well.

Regardless of the circumstances,

you must overcome the situation where you are led by beings due to a lack of compassion, drifting along with their mental notes,

and courageously and firmly chant one clear Namo Amituofo after another.

This is the subtle Dharma that can subdue demonic enemies.

Only then can the Buddha-power and Buddha-light provide blessings, helping the masses and soothing the sad and grieving hearts of karmic creditors,

enabling them to be without fear, to have a peaceful heart, and to accept resolution and Chao Du.

Those who chant Namo Amituofo use the support of both self-power and Buddha-power,

and at the time of death, they can also be without fear, chanting Namo Amituofo single-mindedly and with great strength,

clearing away the obstacles of karmic creditors,

chanting until Namo Amituofo manifests to lead them into the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss,

and thereafter living a life without fear and without suffering, in ultimate bliss, continuing their practice in this environment to attain Buddhahood.

The Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre in Goombungee, Queensland, Australia, is where Namo Amituofo resides.

Its fourfold assembly and the beings residing within,

in this environment of the Western Pure Land,

under the guidance of Namo Amituofo, myself, and Practitioner Su, can practise diligently,

saving themselves and being saved by the Buddha, rescuing themselves and being rescued by the Buddha, to soon rediscover their true self and attain Buddhahood,

following the Buddha to save beings to the West, and attaining the skill to freely travel to and from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Or helping the masses to be without fear, to leave suffering behind and gain happiness, and to stay far away from aging and illness,

even to not grow old, not get sick, and the spirit does not die, chanting Namo Amituofo and making the vow to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
