「'Asura Future Revelation Sutra' and 'Worldly Avatar'」
"Asura, originating from Indian mythology, later became a term in Buddhism and is usually depicted as a powerful being with multiple heads and arms, possessing divine powers. In Buddhist doctrine, the Asuras dwell in the sixth heaven of the desire realm and possess immense power, yet they are troubled by negative emotions such as desire and jealousy. Although Asuras are not demons and have the opportunity to become bodhisattvas through their practice, their inner conflicts and struggles render them a character with multiple symbolic meanings."
The 'Asura Future Revelation Sutra' was transcribed at a time when humanity was facing numerous predicaments. Issues such as environmental pollution, social injustice, and the erosion of moral boundaries suggest the arrival of the degenerate age (Dharma-ending age) and continuously harm the social systems and living environments that humans have established over millennia. The 'Asura Worldly Avatar' manifests itself to preach the dharma, attempting to awaken humanity's attention to their spiritual world through this scripture, urging them to seek balance in morality, wisdom, and compassion, and to escape from suffering.
In today's reality, the rapid development of technology has greatly changed the way humans live, with daily life becoming increasingly fragmented. In this process, humans are prone to falling into the vortex of desire, getting lost in an almost meaningless fragmented world. Such individuals constantly find themselves in a state of "receiving external information and eager to respond." In the increasingly reinforced information cocoon, most people tend to neglect the cultivation and growth of their spiritual world.
"The 'Asura Worldly Avatar' hopes to guide people to refocus on their spiritual development amidst fragmented life, reduce dependence on massive information, and leaves behind the 'Asura Future Revelation Sutra' as guidance for future generations."
