For 800 years, various versions of the Infinite Life Sutra were brought in from India. We are the most fortunate human, living in an era and witness the introduction of a complete edition of the Infinite Life Sutra to the world. We are truly greatful to Eminent Master Xia Liangju, who had dedicated ten years in isolation and compiled the 5 variations into one book. It is not an easy work to do. He spent 3 years to finish the first draft, after that it went through many revisions. And after 10 revisions, it's compiled into one book. The literal meanings in the 5 books, all are in this edition. All duplicated parts had been erased. Sentences that are hard to read and understand, all of them are still referred to the texts in the sutra. From 5 different variations of sutra's texts he selected the term carefully and picked the one that is easier to understand. Why bother to do it ? In fact, the purpose is to uphold the profound Dharma from the first period age of Buddhism. In order to help all living beings during the 9000 years of Dharma Ending Age of Shakyamuni Buddha. This is the three periods of Buddha's Teachings. It was in 1982, this completed edition was ready for circulation around the world. Without Master Chin Kung we wouldn't have hear the Infinite Life Sutra. Without Master Chin Kung it would be impossible for us to understand this profound Sutra and the purpose of chanting Amituofo. Now we can be sure that there will be no apocalypse since there are 9000 years left for Shakyamuni Buddha's period. How could there be an apocalypse ? During these 9000 years, the teachings shall has it rise and fall. This is a natural phenomenon. Currently the teaching is sliding down, there will come a time it will starts to rise again. Certainly their will be up and down. The rise and fall depends on all people. If more and more people are diligent to learn Buddhism, it shall rise. If people are not serious to learn, it would fall. Hence we could see that, the rise and fall of Buddhism depends on human beings. It is in our hand. If everyone is serious in learning Buddhism, the teachings will flourish again. As Buddhism flourish, each of us shall become wise people. Everyone would be granted with good fortune. When the world is inhabited with more wise people, and with people that are blessed with many good fortune, the social structure shall become stable, and society will enjoy great prosperity. 🙏🙏🙏
