Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi elucidated the essence of Guang Huan Mi Zong Esoteric Dharma:
Guang Huan Mi Zong is the representation of the Buddhas, the manifestation of Immeasurable Light Buddha. In the vast realm of space, all Buddhas' Attainment and all Bodhisattvas' Attainment can only be realized through the cultivation of the Buddhas' Dharma—the practice of Esoteric Dharma. What is Esoteric Dharma? It is the essence of the Dharma—the quintessence of the teachings.
The Dharma of Guang Huan Mi Zong is the essence itself, the quintessence of the teachings, transmitted to the saha world through the words of Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi. Guang Huan Mi Zong Dharma is Esoteric Dharma, representing the Immeasurable Light Buddha, the essence of all Buddhas throughout the Three-Thousand Great-Thousand World-Systems, also known as the Heart of the Dharma.
For the beings in the saha world, how can one establish an affinity with the Immeasurable Light Buddha? It is through the Guang Huan Mi Zong Esoteric Dharma. During meditation or spiritual practice, some may be able to connect to the channel of divine messages.
Sometimes, those who connect to such messages reveal their affinity with the Immeasurable Light Buddha and with Guang Huan Mi Zong. For instance, when they happen upon an advertisement, or unexpectedly read a piece of news, they resonate with that message and are naturally drawn to seek the Dharma.
In the era of Shakyamuni Buddha, 2,500 years ago, people also relied on connecting to such messages, although the word "message" did not yet exist. It was not until the 1960s and 1970s that we came to use this term. Thus, language has brought a great leap forward in the spread of Buddhism.
