Speaking of "demons," many people always avoid them like the plague, worrying that they might accidentally become possessed while practicing or chanting. But have you ever considered that what demons fear most is not being found, but rather us stopping providing them with "nourishment"? In this age of information overload and escalating conflict, we often unconsciously brandish our "devil's stamp" everywhere, easily categorizing anyone with differing stances, beliefs, or values ​​as villains or evil. However, while we are filled with righteous indignation and eager to eliminate the other side, the fear, anxiety, greed, anger, and ignorance within us become the perfect food to feed the devil. In this episode, Old K will take you on a deep dive into the nature of "demons." Whether it's Mara, the obstacle to wisdom in Buddhism, or Satan in the Western context, what's truly terrifying isn't external interference, but the ever-growing conflict and fear within our own hearts. Instead of anxiously searching for the devil every day, try to see that 1% of goodness in others, expanding our understanding and compassion. When we completely surrender our judgmental and discriminating minds to "Namo Amitabha Buddha," the less fear we feel, the less nourishment the devil provides. Returning to this Buddha's name flowing from the realm of Nirvana, no longer working for the demons—this is the true "terrification of the heavenly demons," and the ultimate path for those who recite the Buddha's name to subdue demons! ⏳ Video Timeline 00:00 Afraid of demonic possession when reciting the Buddha's name?
