Highlights

Looking
into one's past record is a very terrible journey. Like today,
I had to look into someone's record, and sometimes that someone
involves many others. It's not easy to look into someone's record
and then see no one else involved around him. And this brings
you into many other connections and each one offers you whole
a lot of troublesome past lives, and sometimes it's not very good
for you when you're looking, not when you wake up. When you wake
up, of course because of our power of practicing the Quan Yin
Method, we can probably immediately erase the depressed feeling
or any kind of negative feeling that results from the past life
effects. Sometimes the past life is very gruesome, awful and full
of depression and suffering. Because we're connected with each
other in this past history, and whatever happens to one affects
the others as well. Past decades, past generations and past eras
of our earth's history are mostly very dark. And if we're earth
inhabitants we have gone through all these kinds of events, which
are very difficult for us to forget. And should we be able to
remember them, it will give us such tremendous suffering and depression
that we don't even want to know about it. That's why it's a blessing
from the highest intelligence that we don't remember our past
lives. |
Topics addressed

In
many lifetimes, we've done many things and created many causes
and effects. Usually we repeat the same relationships and re-incarnate
to do the same things. If we can see our previous lives or those
of others, we'll see that the same old pattern repeats itself
again and again. That's what we call karma. We have to rely on
meditation and our sincerity and use the power of our souls to
break the negative cycle of re-incarnation. This is so-called
"liberation in one lifetime," which is the promise of initiation,
and the only way to break out of the cycle of re-incarnation. |
|
Sometimes
when we go back to our previous lives and know what we've done
or what was wrong with us, it might help to heal our diseases.
It might help to overcome the obstacles in our psychic being but
it won't heal the soul. The soul is never sick and has no past,
present or future. In fact, such healing is only useful to our
minds, bodies and psychic beings. But this isn't the highest form
of healing. |
|
Unenlightened
people don't know why they force themselves to earn money or grab
high positions, even destroying their health and lives. The enlightened
people still live in society and do their best to take care of
their families and countries. But they feel no interest in "gain
and loss" and no interest in fighting for fame, personal benefit
and profit. At that time, they don't have egos anymore and can
really contribute positively to the world. |
|
Master
truly loves us whether it's in scolding or smiling at us. They
both emanate from love. |
|
The
power of scolding is stronger than that of love! And the power
of Master's scolding is great. Since all the power is concentrated
on the person scolded, he'll change very fast, but it's very tiring
for Master. |
|
Being
a Master is not very easy. It's hard to explain but Master is
definitely always right. This is Master's experience and the experience
of many people around Her. A true living Master will never make
mistakes. |
|
Master talks about the beginning of Her pursuit of painting, clothing
design and musical composition to illustrate that we have many
inner talents. Only when it is needed or we are under pressure
will we know how much we gain from daily meditation and how much
wisdom we have. |
|
Anyone
who comes to me already has the connection. We have to take care
of you and protect you until you come here. So, before you come
and receive initiation, the angels have to protect you; after
initiation, there's more protection until you die. The protection
also continues after you die. Death means that the physical body
dies but it's not real death. We never die and I'll watch you
until you go Home. |
|
If
we practice well, we'll be beautiful inside. No matter what we
wear, we'll be beautiful. |
|
We
don't need to worry about where we live, what we do and what's
happening to us. We should always remember that we have Heaven
inside. It won't ever disappear. Once we forget, we should try
to remember and focus inwardly. Then we'll feel very peaceful
and comfortable. No one can take this away from us. This is the
real Heaven. We should bring Heaven with us. If we keep Heaven
in our hearts, we can bring it with us anywhere and we won't lose
it. We can have Heaven with us forever and also help those with
no Heaven. |

Master
reminds everyone to clean up his country when he goes home, to
go pick up garbage once a month, try to be humble and do good
things, to take better care of those in need and help those who
are really poor. Master says, "I want the world to be happy and
everyone to be equal. The rich will give to the poor. It will
make everyone happy and joyful. The givers will feel happy, too."
Remember what Master says-we should take care of ourselves and
also take care of the refugees and the poor. |
