(Hallo, Master. My husband is also an initiate. He has more free time and often reads Master’s books. He often asks me, “I told you to read that chapter. Have you read it?” I say, “I’m very busy and don’t have time.” And I say, “You read it to me.” After he reads the first half to me, I say, “I know it!” And then I tell him the other half. He is so curious and asks, “How do you know it without reading it?” Is it because of Master’s blessing on me?) Because you meditate more. (Sometimes it’s strange. When I meditate or do things, or do some work, I hear Master talking by my side.) What was She saying? (I just hear Master’s voice but don’t hear the whole message. Sometimes I also hear Master singing one sentence. Like that.) It doesn’t matter. Do not care about it so much.
(Recently when I meditate, I feel something strange. Sometimes when I am in deep meditation, deep in samadhi, I feel the air vibrating. The floor also vibrates, like in a slight earthquake. Why is this?) Normal. It’s normal. Normal. (OK. Thank You, Master.) You are too powerful and make the whole house tremble. Yes. Sometimes when we meditate, we feel as if our bed is sinking, or shaking, or someone is walking around nearby. This is our own vibration. Ignore it, OK? Very good. As for the talking voice, don’t listen to it. Ignore it. At that time, just recite the Five Holy Names.
This brother, here. (Hallo, Master. I have a question about understanding Your teachings. In Your teachings, You say we cannot use astral power to do things, but now, it’s…) Use what? (Astral power.) Astral power. (Originally, back in China I joined a research on Chinese medicine meridians. So right now, in traditional Chinese medicine, this mystery over acupuncture on meridians, is still not…) Acupuncture? (Acupuncture.) Acupuncture is not using astral power. (It is researching on this kind of meridians in the human body; there are eight extraordinary meridians in the human body. It’s just that this kind of research, it seems that in mainland China, only those with magical powers can see them. So right now, this research requires the participation of this kind of people with magical powers. So, in this way, with the participation of these people, and continuously revealing the meridians in the human body, using them to treat patients or research on Chinese medicine, or research on…) It’s their business. Why are you asking me? (So this way, by participating in this research, is it considered using astral power to heal people?) My words are only for you initiates. I cannot tell the whole world what to do. You just don’t do it. Acupuncture is not magical power. Acupuncture is sometimes when we insert a needle in a blood meridian, the effect is automatically generated. It doesn’t require a person with magical powers to do it. (They are now researching this…) How they conduct the research does not concern me. You just don’t do it. (OK, thank You. Thank You Master.) You are welcome.
(Hallo, Master. When I do the [inner Heavenly] Sound meditation, there is often no [inner Heavenly] Sound. Sometimes there is, but then It’s gone after five minutes or so. Sometimes I don’t hear any [inner Heavenly] Sound for a very long time.) No Light? (No [inner Heavenly] Sound.) (The [inner Heavenly] Sound. The [inner Heavenly] Sound meditation.) The (inner Heavenly) Sound. Sometimes there is no (inner Heavenly) Sound? (There has been no [inner Heavenly] Sound for a long, long time. Even if there was, there was only a little. And It’s gone after five minutes or so. That’s the way it is.) Do it now. Meditate on the (inner Heavenly) Sound. (Meditate on the [inner Heavenly] Sound?) Do it right now. (Master’s telling you to do it now.) Next. Here. (I can hear It now.) (He can hear the [inner Heavenly] Sound now.) You can now? Good. Continue to do it for a while.
(Master, sometimes I know, of course, it is God’s arrangement, but my heart still keeps wanting to ask, “Why?” Also, I don’t know how I can accept it as a fact? And when I cry alone, I always think, “I wonder if Master knows?” Though sometimes I know everything has been arranged, I still find it hard to accept.) I know. (I want to ask so badly, “Why? Why?”) I know. I know. (And when I meditate, I can’t see the inner Master to ask questions. That’s the way it is. So, I don’t know what to do.) Then write it down. Write a letter. (OK.) In face of any difficulties that you really cannot come to terms with, just write a letter. At least you’ll feel a little better. OK? (OK, thank You, Master.) Or tell a fellow initiate or something. Sometimes, you’ll feel better after talking about it. (OK.) There is no “why.” It’s just… It’s not just arrangements; it’s just our karma.
Sometimes, because of our karma from previous lives, fixed karma, we have to go through stages like that. Sometimes it’ll bring you better luck later on because of that kind of bad luck. It’s like a blessing in disguise. It’s better for you to accept everything. It’s not about someone forcing you to accept or not accept. Even if we refuse to accept, it is still like that. It will still happen too. We can only let it be, “Alas! Forget it! Let go, let go, let go.” Then go and do something else that’s more meaningful, and then you will forget it. OK? (OK. Thank You, Master.) Don’t work so hard on thinking about those senseless and frustrating things. It’s a waste of energy and time, and you’d feel gloomy. If there’s nothing you can do, just go take vitamin B12. And you will feel better. It’s really funny. Here. It’ll help. It’ll help. Because sometimes if we don’t eat a lot, our mind goes weak. When it’s not enough, we become weak and catch illnesses easily. When we encounter sad situations, it’s harder for us to overcome them.
(Hallo, Master. I got initiated not long ago. My current problem is that when I meditate, I always fall asleep. What should I do?) Then just go to sleep. After you finish sleeping, come back and meditate again. Maybe you are tired. (There is one more question. I am worried about how to protect my faith? The faith of believing in Master, the faith of believing in the Quan Yin Method. Because we met some fellow initiates, who had problems in their families, and I found them losing faith themselves. So, I am afraid of whether I would run into that kind of situation.) It hasn’t happened yet. Don’t be afraid. Or just go to group meditation more, interact more with other fellow initiates with strong faith, and cheer one another on. That’s why Shakyamuni Buddha and other Masters, all told us to get together with fellow initiates more so that we can nurture our faith. People with the same ideal would encourage one another, and they’d let us know that we are on the right path. Any pursuit of an ideal should be like that. It’s necessary to have company. (Yes.) Very few people have enough strength that allows them to walk alone by themselves. It’s very difficult. Very difficult. (Yes, thank You, Master.) You’re welcome.
(Master, I always have a sense of fear in my heart. I don’t know where it comes from? For example, the moment right before I’m about to fall asleep, I sometimes see a very bright Light. Then I feel my astral body starts to drift out. Just as I’m feeling very comfortable, a sense of fear would attack me, then I’d fall down very heavily. It’s very uncomfortable. Then that vision wouldn’t appear again for a long, long time. And sometimes, in the physical life, even though I know that after initiation, everything has become smoother, things all go smooth and well, but often I still feel somehow uncertain about the future.) You wonder whether things would become better? (Yes, I don’t know how I can overcome that sense of fear.) Just live your life one day at a time. You think too much. Before anything happens, you’re cursing yourself already. Right? Now things have become smooth, but you still worry that they won’t be tomorrow. You might be dead tomorrow. Don’t be afraid.
Other people’s turn. Have you finished? (Master, I want to ask You so much about the true meaning of the sentence “karma is fundamentally empty.” Because there is a fellow initiate with whom I spend a lot of time. She always says, “There’s karma in this, there’s karma in that.” For example, this time, we come here for the retreat, and we just stay at a hotel. She said we must not sleep on their beds, and that we can only sleep on the floor.) Which bed? (Because those beds…) Other people’s beds. (There is karma in those beds. We cannot sleep on them.) It’s also good to be cautious. If you think you’re really good, just show her and sleep on it. If you’re still somewhat scared, that means God has sent her to give you a little warning. If we have doubts, just don’t do it. If you are very sure, then do it. If it’s not good after you do it, then you know. At least you know it’s not good and won’t do it anymore. It’s up to you. It’s also OK if you want to try. You can experiment or listen to her. Either is OK. You decide. You decide your own life. OK? (Thank You.) As long as you don’t break the precepts, do bad things deliberately, or harm others deliberately, etc., then it’s OK. Other than those, you are free to try anything. Experiment yourself. If you die, then, oh well…
Here. Be patient for a bit. Be patient for a bit. (Master, at what age can children meditate for one hour?) They can get half-initiation at six and meditate more at 12. (My child is almost six. I’m wondering if he can meditate for one hour at the age of eight. Because…) Yes, yes, yes. (Yes.) If he can sit that long. (OK.) But it’s not necessary. Not necessary. (OK.) Half an hour is OK. (Every time I see Master, You always give me a lot of blessings. I am now living very happily. But Master, I want to ask You something. You love me so much, so much. How can I love You in return?) You are loving me a lot the way you are now. Your life is comfortable, then I’m comfortable. (Thank You.) It is not necessary to express love with words or actions every time. If your life is comfortable, and if you are becoming better, it means that you’ve followed my teachings and been a good person. That’s why you’ve had those results. Then that is a very good way to love me. I only want everyone to love me that way. Then I’d feel much more comfortable.
