The Infinite Life Sutra records Sakyamuni Buddha’s and all other Buddhas’ observation which goes,
Listen to my teacher’s original lecture: Come alone, go alone (1), Come alone, go alone (2), Come alone, go alone (3)
Listen to the podcast in English: Quotes from ‘The Infinite Life Sutra’ (1): ‘One came to and leaves this world all alone’.
Listen to Amituofo Chanting.
‘Amidst love and desires, one came to and leaves this world all alone. No one else is able to experience one’s suffering and enjoyment for one. One has to bear all of these oneself. The consequences of all the good and bad that one has done in this life follow one to the next life. (One and one’s beloved) take different paths (when they die), not knowing when they will meet again. (So,) why not spare no effort to do what is good when one is still healthy and strong? What is one waiting for? 人在愛欲之中,獨生獨死,獨去獨來,苦樂自當,無有代者。善惡變化,追逐所生。道路不同,會見無期。何不於強健時,努力修善,欲何待乎?’
Wishing whoever listens to this recording good mental and physical health. Peace, auspiciousness happiness, long life, and infinite wisdom.
DEDICATION
The effort and gains of explaining, transmitting and listening to Buddhas’ teachings are dedicated to:
the entire Universe and all beings of all dimensions and all existences. May they all listen to Buddhas’ teachings, awaken to the truth of the Universe, be mindful of the name ‘Amituofo’ (Amitabha Buddha),
aspire to go to the Pure Land, and become Buddhas. (Read the above three times)
I pray to Buddhas and bodhisattvas for unconditionally solving all man-made and natural disasters around the globe.
For all of those who died in man-made wars and natural disasters across the world,
and for all of those who are related to me in all kinds of ways in this life and previous lives, may they listen to Buddhas’ teachings. May they awaken to the truth of the Universe, aspire to unearth their innate and most sincere, pure, equal and awakened mind, be single-mindedly mindful of Amituofo, aspire to go to the Pure Land so as to see Amituofo and listen to his teachings, removing all their delusions and unveiling their innate wisdom, gaining the real peace and happiness, instantly escaping from the cycle of birth and death, speedily becoming Buddhas, and helping all beings (in the entire Universe) like all other Buddhas.
The effort and gains are dedicated to the leaders of all countries on the Earth. May all countries be prosperous. May all disasters be solved. May the world enjoy eternal peace. I use the effort and gains to return the help from the enlightenment of Buddhas, by the correctness of Buddhas’ teachings, from the purity of sangha, from all beings, from my parents (in this life and previous lives), and from my country(ies). I also use the effort and gains to help alleviate the suffering of those who are already in and will be reborn into the animal realm, the ghost realm and hells as the result of their bad thoughts, speech and deeds. For anyone who sees and hears me chanting or being mindful of Amituofo and doing other good deeds, may they aspire to unearth their most sincere, pure, equal and awakened mind so as to go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, together with me, at the end of our present lives.
