Recover Our Innate Tranquillity and Wisdom
You, I, and all beings have the same self-nature.
‘Little did I expect self-nature is pure.’
‘Little did I expect self-nature has everything.’
‘Little did I expect self-nature has no beginning or end.’
‘Little did I expect self-nature has never changed.’
‘Little did I expect self-nature gives rise to everything.’
It is time to recover our self-nature.
Self-discipline gives rise to innate tranquillity;
innate tranquillity gives rise to innate wisdom.
Be mindful of the name ‘Amituofo’
and recover our innate tranquillity and wisdom.
Pure mind, pure land.
Amituofo.
