In this episode, Shifu Shengchi explores reincarnation. The process of rebirth is detailed through the 12 Links of Dependent Origination—tracing the cycle from beginningless ignorance to physical formation, sensory contact, craving, grasping, and ultimately old age and death. To escape this cycle we must have faith, vow, and recite Amitabha Buddha's name (Nianfo) to achieve rebirth in his Pure Land and attain enlightenment.   Namo Amitabha Buddha 🪷🙏  Namo Amituofo 🪷🙏  🪷 Hai Hui Shan Foundation (Australia) website: https://haihuishan.au 🪷 Official Dharma contents website: https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com

In this eighth and final talk of the Heart Sutra series, Shifu Shengchi explains a central concept of the sutra.

May all beings realise the wisdom of emptiness and be free from suffering.
