Chapter 6 Initiation Being a Disciple
“A disciple must remember God at all times, and God will be everywhere. We take some karma from people around us, by looking at them, by thinking about them, when sharing a book or a meal, etc. This is how we bless people and reduce their karma. This is why we practice, to spread the Light and dispel the darkness. Blessed are those who give us some of their karma and we are happy to help them. We do not practice only for ourselves but for anyone crossing our path. This is why our progress is slow. Otherwise, we would go immediately to Heaven, and who would bless the world after our departure? So we must stay here to pay our debt and bless the world. We are, after all, connected to each other. The people making roads, planes or our house, everyone receives some blessing from us. Just like the amount automatically deducted from your pay check for insurance, social security, etc. No way to escape! You can think of it another way. If you want to have a comfortable lifestyle, you will have to spend a lot of money to buy the new inventions and services society offers. So when we practice, people are automatically entitled to take a part of the result, of the merit. That is how five or six generations can be liberated, how your friends and your family members will be blessed when they die. These people are connected to you because they helped you, because you love them and they love you.
Most of our disciples, whenever they meet other disciples on the street or anywhere else, if they run into one another in a strange land, they just feel they are like family, and they know they can trust that person. They know that person will help them, will love them, or at least will not harm them. Therefore, if the whole world is like this, what do you think? Of course, we still have our failures and our personalities, but we know we can trust each other, and we know we have love. We know we can give love. We know we give whatever we have. On this, we have confidence with each other. If we create a world like this, we don’t need to go to Heaven, we will stay right here. Therefore, we started with Nirvana and ended up on Earth. That is fine.
We have seen our true Nature, the brightness inside, the greatness within, and when we talk to others, we have wisdom flowing out, and we feel that we know better now, and that we are truly near Sainthood. But still, in some other moments, if we are not careful, we forget our greatness, we don’t use our wisdom, and so it appears that we have fallen in the same habits of yesterday. Therefore, the Precepts are there and the spiritual diary is there to remind us that we are the teachers of ourselves, anytime, always checking, always controlling, and always knowing when we stray.
You are as great as you make yourself to be. You are as great as you are, when you use your own greatness for the benefit of others as well as for self-enhancement. Otherwise, do not blame me if you don’t see God, if you do not know your Buddha Nature, if you don’t know your Kingdom of God. It is you, yourself to be blamed. You are the one you should rely on to know your own greatness. I only point the way. It doesn’t matter how great I am. You benefit nothing if you do not try to discover your own greatness and make use of it. OK?
Actually, we practice hard only to reach the point of relaxation, so that we can enjoy what we are and what we have in any circumstances, and so that we can open our hearts and tolerate anything, and feel the God Nature in all beings, so that we don’t look down upon anyone.
After leaving this world, a practitioner of the Quan Yin Method will not have to be reborn again in this world, unless this person wants to come back as an enlightened Master to help relieve the suffering of humankind. It is because there are many more beautiful, extraordinary worlds for the practitioner of the Quan Yin Method to go. He has no need for this suffering world. His wisdom, his vibration, after practicing the Quan Yin Method has risen to a level of Sainthood and it enables him to be fit to live in the glory of the Kingdom of God.” […]
The Five Precepts
“Our Wisdom Eye at the moment is crowded with some obstructions made by our own ignorance and previous deeds of unvirtuous actions. To clean it we need the hand of someone who knows. We need a great power from God which we all have within us, if only we could open the ‘tap’ and then it would run out. It is like a water tank full of water, but with the tap obstructed. So if you wish, I can repair the tap for you, free of charge and free of conditions except that you should purify yourself, lead a virtuous life, and keep a virtuous diet. From today on you must vow to never take flesh again, never take any lives, never tell a lie, never steal, etc. It is exactly the same as the Ten Commandments of the Bible, or the five Buddhist lay precepts which say: Don’t kill, don’t tell lies, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t drink alcohol, gamble or take drugs.”
