So you see the Indian spiritual practitioners all paste it here in olden times. (Oh!) Did they? (Yes.) It’s to remind them of spiritual practice. But nowadays even if they paste it there for half a year, they don’t remember anything. […] We humans sometimes use too much of our left brain, and some people use too much of the right brain. Thus, we are more used to that, and it’s difficult for us to concentrate on the middle. (Oh.) Buddha said that we should practice the middle way. Don’t lean to the left; don’t lean to the right.
Are you mainlanders sitting together? Are you? (Yes.) (Sitting... Yes.) Sitting together. Do you want to ask any questions? (Yes. Hallo, Master.) Where? Where? Where? (Raise hand. Raise hand.) Raise hand. OK. You just ask your own questions. You don’t ask questions for others. Neither do you ask questions about your family. (Understand.) Only ask questions about spiritual practice. because time is precious. (I was in danger three times and Master’s manifestation body came to my rescue. I want to thank Master sincerely for saving my life three times.) It’s alright.
(Another thing is that once I recited the Five Holy Names while walking on the street. I noticed that I was emitting a lot of Light. And the passersby… pointed to their wisdom eyes… telling them, “You all have the quality of truth, goodness and beauty within and you should try to find your true Self quickly.” Who pointed? Who pointed to them? (I don’t know. It’s just…) I don’t understand. You heard a kind of Sound, right? (No. While I was walking and reciting the Five Holy Names, I had such an experience. I am not sure if a situation like that is good or not?) Ah, probably… Probably it’s very good. (But, if…) It’s not bad. (If it happens again, can I allow it to continue?) Continue. You should recite the Five Holy Names wherever you go, not just while you’re walking. You should recite them anywhere you go. OK? (And there is another…) However, don’t be attached to the visions.
(Another time, while I was meditating, there was something like [inner Heavenly] Sound frequency, but it turned into a black hole. I ran for a long time. Sometimes, after running for a long time, I could see the [inner Heavenly] Light. But other times, even after running for a long time, there was no Light. Should I continue running down the black hole?) You go wherever you can go. Take Master with you. OK? That black hole was not just dark. There would be (inner Heavenly) Light later. (But it remained dark after I ran for a long time.) If you are tired, then just turn around. In the future, try to fly instead. Don’t run; it’s too slow. Take an airplane. Remember to recite the Five Holy Names and pray to Master for help. Then She will take you there. It is faster.
(I have another question. The food we usually eat in mainland, it was labeled vegan, but if it is not labeled as containing eggs and we eat it what should we do?) If you don’t know, then you can’t do anything about it. Just meditate more. (OK, then…) It’s better to be careful. It’s safer to make our own food. If you are suspicious, then don’t eat it. If you are suspicious, then take some time to investigate first. You can ask other people or the manufacturer before eating it. (OK. Thank You, Master.) You are welcome. (I have no more questions.) OK. You Taiwanese (Formosan) sit there and drool, let the mainlanders ask. (OK.) They have a lot of questions. Mainland. The main questions have been recorded.
(Master, I have a question about spiritual practice. It has been almost two years since it seems that an invisible being has been disturbing me, affecting my attention all the time. And I have difficulty focusing on my wisdom eye. Also, I become prone to... Because of this invisible being, I seem to receive the negative atmosphere easily. What should I do now? It’s been affecting my work a lot.) I don’t see you have any problem. What did it do to disturb you? (It stayed here.) It stayed there? (Yes. On my left.) On your left? (Especially when I went to places with lots of people, it disturbed me very seriously.)
What did it do? (It just disturbed me making it difficult for me to concentrate on my wisdom eye.) How did it disturb you? What did it do? Did it talk to you? (No, it didn’t talk, but sometimes I had some nonsensical ideas which were very mundane and not good.) It’s not the invisible being. It’s your own tangible thoughts. (Ah. Sometimes, when I tried to concentrate on my wisdom eye, I felt an energy on my left trying to pull away my… It never let me focus on the wisdom eye. Why is that?) In future, just use your finger to press on here. OK? Press on here until you can concentrate and forget about the left side. (OK.)
So you see the Indian spiritual practitioners all paste it here in olden times. (Oh!) Did they? (Yes.) It’s to remind them of spiritual practice. But nowadays even if they paste it there for half a year, they don’t remember anything. They just paste the sticker on without the… They have forgotten it. (So, it’s not the invisible being? I’ve been worrying about it all along.) No, no, no, no. It’s your own physical brain. (Thank You, Master.) We humans sometimes use too much of our left brain, and some people use too much of the right brain. Thus, we are more used to that, and it’s difficult for us to concentrate on the middle. (Oh.) Buddha said that we should practice the middle way. Don’t lean to the left; don’t lean to the right. That’s it. OK? (OK.) You will get used to it slowly. (OK. Thank You.) You are welcome. I think you have no problem. You are not possessed. Almost.
You take it slowly. Take it slowly. The right side. After those in the back finish talking, then pass it to the front. (Hallo, Master. First of all, thank You, Master. I have a question. In the past few years, for about three or four years, it seems that whenever I was going to sleep, to sleep or not to sleep, I felt there was kind of… I am not sure if it’s an invisible being or something. That’s what I felt. It’s like… I was conscious but I couldn’t control my body. Moreover, I even heard someone saying, “I want to test you.” And pounding a nail into my head, something like that. So, I’m especially afraid of the dark when I go to bed at night but whenever I turned on the light, the condition would improve.) OK. Then leave the light on when you sleep in future. Is that OK?
(It seems… I can sleep with the light on. But I don't know if the spirit was like this before going out, or if there was some interference. In addition, I feel like I always have interference and problems when meditating. I don’t know how to describe it.) Recite the Five Holy Names more often and loudly. OK? (Loudly. Recite it loudly?) Whenever they come, recite it loudly. (OK. Then, also… Well, if I…) You can also play my audio tapes (Audio tapes.) while you sleep at night. (Play it while sleeping.) Keep some lights on. It’s OK. (Every time, when this thing comes, I would scream like, “Oh, oh, oh,” and wake myself up. What should I do when it comes next time?) Maybe you had nightmares, did you? (They didn’t seem like nightmares. It’s been about three or four years.) It was very horrible before so it came to practice spiritually. OK. Don’t be afraid of it. (OK.) It’s useless. It can’t do anything.
They can’t do anything. The more you are afraid, the bigger they are. You give them power. (OK.) Don’t be afraid of it. OK? (Then I’ll just ignore them next time. Let it be.) Ignore it. You have Master. Don’t be afraid of those invisible beings chirping. (I will recite the Five Holy Names and see what it wants. Correct?) Yes, ask it what it wants. (OK. Thank You, Master. Thanks. Thank You, Master.) Tell it, “If you continue bothering me, I will recite my Master’s Name. My Master is most powerful, I’m telling you. She scolds the whole world.” OK, OK.
(Sorry, Master. I have another question. Sometimes, when I meditate, I would shake. My body would shake.) Shaking is OK, just ignore it. (Just ignore it too. Oh, OK.) Don’t worry about the sensations of your body. And recite the Five Holy Names. It’s very simple. (OK.) OK. When the ghost, devil, or Buddha comes, you say, “Don’t bug me!” (OK.) I am busy right now. Please go somewhere else to have fun. (OK, thank You.) We have to be brave, have to be more majestic. Who’s afraid of whom? (Who’s afraid of whom. OK.) We’re Buddha. Right? (OK, OK. Thank You.) You have the big Buddha Ching Hai by your side. We are together. We are humans. Do you know? We are the greatest beings in the Universe. Don’t be afraid of anyone. OK? The more you are afraid, the more they bully you. You don’t understand.
(Master, I have good news to tell you. About two months ago, a few gurus and so-called enlightened masters appeared in mainland. Later, we gave Your pictures to a person to compare with their so-called pictures. A Qi Gong master, he said, “Your Master is incredible.” He said, “Your Master is so, so heavy [powerful]!” He said, “Your Master has reached Buddhahood.” The 16th or the 17th of their guru said, “The 16th doesn’t weigh, and the 17th has a little bit of weight. You definitely must tell them not to lose their direction.” Therefore, our enlightened Master is the heaviest [most powerful] enlightened Master, the brightest Master.) Yes.
(On the other hand, the photo of our enlightened Master that I was wearing… The Qi Gong master said, “Your Master, your Master’s spiritual Master, and many, many [like] your Masters, so many Masters.” He said, “On one line. On one line. The masters of others are coming horizontally. So your Master is the best.” He said, “Up till now, none of the photos I’ve seen reach the state of having the ‘image’ being on one line.” Meaning the image of a man and of his… Your manifestation body and You… I don’t know… Anyway, there are so many. Your images are on one line. Up till now. He said that up till now… He’s a quite good Qi Gong master. He’s a… that between the Celestial realm and the Buddha’s land.) He is an outside person, not one of our fellow initiates, right? (He is not. Since he is not, his words are more convincing.) Understand, understand. He didn’t know who I was before. (Right.) Right. OK.
(I then showed Your… sample booklet.) You wanted to test me. I know it. You wanted to compare me with other gurus. (No. Because he introduced me…) I’ve already told you that Ching Hai is the most powerful. You still don’t understand. (Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Yes, it’s absolutely correct. Because the person, the sister who introduced me to You had left [our group]. I felt very sad and wanted to bring her back. And because of this matter, I said that you must… I said that it has been proven once again. I wanted to show her the proof, but she has no more affinity.) It’s alright. (Leave it to the fate.) Yes. (I didn’t want to ask her to come back anymore.) It’s alright. (Everyone has their own way.) It’s alright. (She left by herself, so…) Sometimes, people leave us but later they come back. (Therefore, as long as I have Master, that’s fine.) Yes. (This friend, of course…) OK. (OK. Thank You.)
(Master, I’ve been initiated for about eight months. At the time of initiation, I didn’t see any [inner Heavenly] Light but I heard the [inner Heavenly] Sound, very loud Sound currents. But since then, I’ve never seen any Light. So I… But my surroundings did change for the better. My health is getting better and my surroundings are getting better. I am very grateful to Master.)
