In this world, other than cultivating Amitabha's name in our heart, nothing else you do can be brought to the next one.

Very few people in this world can live to be 100 years old, even if you reach 100 years old it is nothing compared to eternity.

In this tiny speck of our existence in this universe, why aren't we doing something that we can exchange for something bigger and infinite instead of clinging to something that cannot last? True, it is like that. We must listen to Buddha’s teachings because he's been there. If we do not listen we'll still cling to this entanglement, get entangled in these afflictions.

Only from a pure heart, a heart free from all this selfishness and afflictions, entanglement can we nurture true wisdom that leads you to Right Awakening.

39:07 However on the other hand if our heart is not pure, if our mind is not pure even though we are wise and smart, Buddha and Bodhisattvas will not recognize our wisdom and smarts as Right Awakening. They will not. Because the person who attains Right Awakening, an Arhat, does not get bound by life and death, let's call it the state of cessation of life and death or Nirvana.

If you transcend the six realms, if you achieve Right Awakening through having a pure heart, birth, aging, sickness and death are no longer a problem. All of our afflictions come from a polluted heart. If we get through these issues by achieving Right Awakening, they no longer matter. What about the rest? Nothing else can trouble you anymore.

If we have solved the problem of life and death, that means we're no longer bound by it, everything else is not a problem. Our lives will be truly happy and fulfilling in this way.//

Venerable Master Hai Xian(海賢老和尚) who just passed away in 2013. He lived to 112 years old, being born in the Qing Dynasty. His heart was pure, that's why he could do that. How come his heart was pure? Because he always used Amituofo阿彌陀佛 as the object of his thoughts, no longer allowing any other thoughts to mix in. So his heart was pure. His heart only has Amituofo阿彌陀佛. Hence it was pure, because of this one thing. As long as your heart is pure, illness will not have an effect on you. It is a way to reflect for us, especially myself. It's true.

Buddha and Bodhisattvas thoroughly realize the truth of this universe, how it came to be in all these conditions. So once they understood that, they immediately followed their true nature, they no longer used thoughts, because they had no wandering thoughts, everything they did flowed naturally from their Buddha nature, their true heart, their pure heart. So everything they did was without pretensions because being natural is the healthiest thing. So nowadays the technology is very advanced however the cause of this advancement is the destruction of nature, of the environment. If we look at this earth right now that we live in, it's already sick, gravely sick, gravely ill, because we keep destroying it.

If we look nowadays at these Covid pandemic times, it gets more and more serious and more contagious. It keeps evolving, mutating because our hearts are not pure.

All this Covid, all this pandemic, why does it mutate? It mutates in accordance with our heart, in accordance with our thoughts. If our thoughts and our heart turns pure, focuses on pure stuff, I can tell you, you will no longer be affected by it if our hearts are pure and clean.

So why is our world in such a state? Because we are polluting it with our wandering thoughts.

The root cause of our illness is because of our wandering thoughts, discriminations and attachments. It comes from that. If you want to be healthy, you must cultivate a pure heart. To start cultivating a pure heart for Right Awakening we need to start letting go of attachments that we have strongly adhered to, let go of any situation, adverse or favorable. In case of adverse conditions, something that causes us to be unhappy, we let go and chant Amituofo to replace it. Once you do that as a habit, your heart gets purified further and further hence your health gets better.
