“We are on a journey to find out how to come back to Dharmakaya, the Great Spirit of the Universe
All of us are on the Journey as the lost boy, the lost child, we have forgotten where we came from. So the Great Spirit of the Universe sends us people like Jesus or the masters of spirituality or Buddhist masters to remind us who we are, where we are from.
The story of the Lotus Sutra, of the father and the son, is telling us how we forget our potential.
What the father said to his son, “all the properties are yours”, what is meant by the property is our potential.
What potential do we have? By the way, when we were sent out from Heaven or Pure Land, which means infinite Joy, another name of Pure Land which is Heaven in Buddhism, we were sent out and told “go and fetch your homework and come back”.
What is the homework we were given? It is to make the world, the human world, a better place and to light people’s hearts brighter, change the hearts of people.
The reason we were given this homework is that “we have the ability to do it”.
To apply this capacity we need to realise our ability to do this. This means, for example, that “we have the ability to receive the Great Love of the Great Spirit of the Universe”.
