**CHI GONG**

Chi means Air and Gong means Power Training. Through the different poses you bring freshly oxygenated blood to different parts of the body, including the areas that are blocked. As you follow the Chi-Gong system you begin to free yourself from those blockages.

Chi-Gong originated in China. It was created over many centuries by the most powerful and wealthy kings and emperors, or the most intelligent and wise masters from various types of martial arts groups.

The original Chi-Gong has numerous training systems. These include relaxing and breathing techniques, tendon stretching, balance awareness, bone structure, posture and energy concentration development, as well as nerve and meridian line recharge for the purpose of increasing our inner force.

Because of this we can say Chi-Gong develops all elements of human physiology; it is the way to increase self-health awareness and to increase the rate of self-healing.

Chi-Gong also helps you to build up the core centre strength within your body. Everything needs a centre; you cannot build something without a centre – because we live on a planet that has a gravitational force pulling us down. If gravity is involved it is clear that the power and strength has to come from underneath. Take trees as an example. If the roots and tree trunk were weak and the branches were heavy and strong, the tree would die very quickly. This idea is not just relevant for plants, but also people.

![chigong_bull](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2016/10/chigong_bull.jpg)

Through the Chi-Gong system of calculation and awareness your movement has to match gravity, it has to bend in the best angle to support your body weight, the most efficient rotation to save power and energy for your body, increasing your flexibility and agility.

When you do Chi-Gong correctly your consciousness will reach to a new stage of awareness, your heart will feel complete contentment and calmness. At that moment you are thinking of nothing. If you want to do it perfectly you feel only gravity, feel the body, feel the enjoyment of life, feel your breath, feel the whole body flow, all working towards one direction, building your body towards balance and health. This is why it is also called a ‘moving meditation’.

Once you feel your body is balanced, your psychology will also feel balanced; it’s the easiest way to move away from negative feelings. It makes you, through this beautiful balanced movement, become content about who you are and what you can do, and that content psychology takes away the thirst for attention.

That negative search for attention causes a negative imbalance in life, so we have to rebuild the content feeling in our mind and body.

Today the underlying value of life is to live fast. Fast pleasure, fast foods, we want fast results in the body. The original Chi-Gong philosophy was far from fast – in fact it is the slowest. Giving yourself patience and time to research your body. Building a house takes time and research, from designing the blueprints, choosing the materials, creating the foundations, etc. Our body is much more complicated than a house, and far more valuable – you only have one body and it is not replaceable. There is no house that could be more expensive, more valuable than your own body.

But we aren’t always aware of such a simple truth. We don’t value our body as much as we should – Chi-Gong is the practice of valuing your body.

People don’t realise that they have to value their own body, before anyone else will value it. Chi-Gong was not developed for its appearance only; it was developed to feel great about life. That feeling is priceless.

### What is Eternity?

Last updated: 2023-03-31T09:53:56.000Z
# What is Eternity?

- - Eternity is the opposite of temporary. For example, only eternal wisdom lasts eternally.
  - Eternity is not limited to time or space.
  - Eternity means No beginning, No end – so it never starts.
  - Eternity is our Desire – our force of wanting – it never stops.
  - Blindness system for learning to be awakened is eternal
  - Eternity as truth  
    - Is true in all time in all space for every lifeform in every situation
    - All Eternal Truths are Eternal  
      - 4 Eternal Hearts are Eternal
      - Eternal Dharma Truths are eternal
      - 6 Bodhisattva characters are Eternal
  - Eternity – cannot be created, cannot be destroyed.
  - Pure Land System is Eternal
  - Will is Eternal
  - The system of Dharma is Eternal  
    - The illusion Being system has 4 Stages  
      - Appear, Develop, Destroy, Disappear
    - Consciousness is eternal  
      - Blind consciousness existing connected to lifeforms has 4 stages as eternal.  
        - Birth, ageing, illness and death
    - Awakened Consciousness are Eternal
  - The power of changing as causation is Eternity. Without causation, nothing can appear. Without changing, nothing can exist.
  - Eternal Wisdom is eternal, so observing eternal wisdom is also eternal.
  - All Sutras are Eternity (For example, the Heart Sutra and Diamond Sutra.)
  - All Mantras are eternal because they connect to Eternal Awakened Consciousness, teaching Eternal Wisdom.
  - Tai Chi is Eternity. So 5 elements are eternity (4 elements and empty space)
  - Observing Self Being – Guan Zi Zai is eternal
  - True Wisdom and Compassion are eternal

**Part of Sifu’s answer:**

- Everything is a feeling. The feeling is too big, and everything becomes normal.  
  - Feeling is eternity
  - Something
- Meditation is eternity
- Our heart creates an intention-wave and joins together with other lives’ intention-waves to create all the external world.
- Awakened consciousness sees everything as Dharma, blind consciousness as I and mine.  
  - Dharma is eternal. Eternity is everywhere! You can’t find anything that is not eternity. Every causation is eternal can’t change it.
  - Cause not exist, its a result, can’t separate it
- 3 styles of answering what is eternity  
  - The class above – called systems of eternity -are for learning wisdom by developing consciousness.
  - Awakened consciousness can discover unlimited systems of life.
- Amitabha Buddha System is a key to opening unlimited gates to Eternity – unlocking I and my.

### Riddle: "Where Does I Come From" and Response

Last updated: 2026-07-31T06:34:58.000Z
## Where Does I Come From?

*A short koan on the self that thinks — and the true self that watches it think.*

“ I “ can not come from I.

“ I “ can not come from other !

“ No I “ who is thinking?

“ True I “ where does it come from ?

## Take Away All Intentions

*Drop every intention, and see what was already there — the empty space that watches the waterfall of feeling.*

Take away all the intentions away who are you? 🤔

Take all the intentions away that’s who you are originally 😊☸️🙏

Aware feelings, we are the waterfall of blind act changing.

Observing the feelings, we are the empty space for the waterfall.

😊☸️🙏🐉

Observer help other out of suffering sea, becoming the Dharma eternal wisdom boat 🚤 creator, finally we truly awaken

☸️😊💚🐉🪷
### Diamond Sutra Summary
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/temp-slug-879/
Last updated: 2026-07-09T03:06:26.000Z
**Diamond Sutra Summary**

**1\. "All appearances are just an illusion. If you see through the truth beyond all appearances, you will see the essence of Buddha."**

> 「凡所有相，皆是虛妄。若見諸相非相，即見如來。」

**2\. "All great Bodhisattvas should develop pure awakened hearts by not persisting in any form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma.** **To be awakened, Bodhisattvas should see through illusion and hold nothing."**

> 「諸菩薩摩訶薩，應如是生清淨心，不應住色生心，不應住聲、香、味、觸、法生心，應無所住，而生其心。」

**3\. "All appearances of dharma are an illusion – no I, no human, no lifeforms, no lifetimes."**

> 「一切法皆幻相，無我、無人、無眾生、無壽者。」

**4\. Because the causation heart is an illusion, Buddha told his student, Subhuti: "Past, present, and future hearts can not get it."**

> 如來說諸心，皆為非心，是名為心。 所以者何，須菩提：「過去心不可得，現在心不可得，未來心不可得。」

**5\. "True Dharma is equal, no incomparable, name Anuttara Sanyak San Bodhi.** **Bodhisattva developing kindness dharma and is aware it has no I, no human, no lifeforms, no lifetimes because so, Bodhisattva finally became Buddha."**

> 「是法平等，無有高下，是名阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。以無我、無人、無眾生、無壽者，修一切善法，則得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

**6\. If there are kindness men and women who want to understand the eternal truth of life by observing and explaining the Diamond Sutra to others, their blessings and dharma joy are unlimited. Why:** **"All appearance of dharma is like dream, illusion, bubble, shadow, dew, and lightning. Therefore, to be awakened should understand this eternal truth."**

> 若有善男子善女人，發菩提心者，受持讀誦，為人演說金剛經, 其福德法喜無量，何以故： 「一切有為法，如夢幻泡影；如露亦如電，應作如是觀。」
### True Heart Into Amitabha Buddha
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/true-heart-into-amitabha-buddha/
Last updated: 2026-07-08T03:02:45.000Z
*On the three fake "I"s that hide the True Heart, and the eternal, unlimited, pure essence beneath them.*

### Illusion I

1. Physical I — 4 element body is our first fake I
2. Feeling I
3. Thinking I

The above can also be called — Illusion I, causation I, temporary I, desire I, dust I, karma I, reincarnation I, forbearance I.

### True Heart I

No beginning, no end — describes the essence — why? Because it's no time, no space, no form, empty — no something that keeps going keeps going.

Unlimited — talks about ability — to divide consciousness and develop more wisdom, Dharma awakened ability.

Eternal Pure — something that keeps going — aware it's eternal — the quality of the essence is eternal.

Like Tai Chi the system is eternal, it will always be there. Many many eternal power together is unlimited. Eternal means one system that can run forever. Like Tai Chi, 4 sky eyes ability, Wu Ji, Qian Kun, 3 Eternal Dharma truths.   
  
So we are starting to develop all these eternal abilities!

Only through changing can we be aware there is something eternal pure — essence. If essence is eternal, then changing is also eternal.

Yin and yang is an eternal changing system — as any two opposite powers, illusion being appears through two opposite force, both illusion.

Circle represents Wu Ji — Wu Ji is essence in Daoism.

True Heart — cannot be aware of itself because it is lost by the above 3.

Buddha's light is unlimited wisdom light, it's wisdom ability force.

Unlimited: wisdom information, wisdom ability, lights, space (Pure Land), space, timing, appearance, brightness, will, kindness care, Four Eternal Heart.

Always live in the present, satisfied, inspired by the philosophy and how incredible it is, just want to always improve more.

Only when your heart is truly in the meditation zone can you be aware of it in the present moment — totally alive.

Continue calmly to be aware of Tai Chi and Dharma, observing how to improve it.

It's a mysterious delicate game of life force. So much charm of such incredible wisdom ability and all the benefits to maintain high standard and keep your consciousness sharp. Developing eternal force.

*A teaching on true empty wisdom — and why mistaking the map for the territory is, in itself, a kind of hell karma.*

Bodhisattva see pure gold everywhere, regardless of devil, animal, human or Bodhisattva.

See that then you will always remain peaceful, joy meditation ability. Have that when you go to beg for the food then you will bring the spiritual life and bring the spiritual karma to everyone.

Bodhisattva will become friends with devils and demons because they realise they can all become Buddha.

Bodhisattva have the true empty wisdom ability, aware that the essence is always pure in every life, so they can help them and not get lost or influenced by them.

You think you know how to explain empty, that you are empty, no. That's like someone pointing at the moon, but you look at the finger and think it's the moon, not the moon.

It's like someone gives you the plans to build a bridge and you think the plans are the bridge. To do that is actually no respect for Dharma, no respect for Buddhism. It's in the direction of hell karma.

You learn all the philosophy in the same way.

  - Observing Dharma awakening meditation
  - We always observe through ego. We are locked without realising we are locked and even support being locked.
  - Observe 3 Eternal Truthes. Then through that ablity to observe life. Brain consciousness meditation. Brain is no longer stuck in I and mine keyhole view, blind greedy desire view. You develop wisdom to be free form the trick. Realise everything is incredible.
  - We always against changing, against the whole universe, want to hold everything, keep us stuck in reincarnation. But instead wisdom to find harmony with changes. Aware, pure heart to observe again. Thats why first condition Pure Land is hold nothing.

  - *If there are good men and good women who give rise to the Bodhi-mind, uphold, recite, and expound the Diamond Sutra to others; their merit and Dharma-joy are immeasurable. Why is this so?*

*Ego is an illusion built by Causation-I — and the only way past it is 100% awareness of Dharma, discipline, and a generous heart.*

In Causation everything is ego. So we have to be aware we are in an ego stage.

Think you are no ego, then you are ego. Ego only disappears when you are 100% aware of Dharma.

Causation-I is a trick. You spend all your life trying for something that will disappear.

You try all this life for something that is not even you.

We are being tested by ego all the time, unless you are 100% aware of Dharma, so therefore whenever there is an issue it's surely your ego.

So calm down and don't support your ego and cause more issues.

The energy in you, you have to use it or it won't appear.

"Ego-I" can appear in reincarnation but truly is never there so you don't have to get rid of it. Because "Ego-I" is an illusion.

Not willing to share, then we don't understand Buddhism.

We are practicing spiritual character and harmony — to develop that ability.

Don't want to share, don't want to care — that's easy, that's how the whole world is built.

Care with complete logic, don't care through ego.

Buddha can help us learning Dharma. But awakening has to create the wisdom seed, create the kindness cause.

True Dharma has no ego, so when you want to learn and share the Dharma then it is right away pure.

Generous from heart then it is eternal.

Discipline — personal ego reason you will learn short time — really aware of the Dharma you will always have passion for it and the discipline will always be there.

No discipline then you are just blind causation heart.

Discipline to aware Dharma truths so you can see through trick of illusion and every day world and develop sharp eternal logic ability.

Heart wise and pure like lotus.

Body powerful with brave heart and free like a dragon to enjoy no beginning no end Dharma.

*When "self consciousness" leaves the body, we return to our pure essence with bright light — but only if we let go of the blind habits that create the illusion of death.*

There's no death, but the moment when our "self consciousness" is out of this physical body, our heart is finally free from the illusion of this life, in this moment, we are back to our pure essence with bright light.

But if we hold the blind habit of experience, we will create fear and into fear-of-death illusion.

So we should practice see through illusion wisdom, hold nothing ability, and connect to Buddha and Bodhisattva wills.

To build strong wisdom and pure kind heart to free our spiritual bright heart from reincarnation and help others.

---

死亡並不存在。但當我們的自我意識離開這個短暫的肉體，心終於從今生的幻像中解脫出來，在這一刻，我們便回歸純粹的本質，沐浴在明亮的光芒之中。然而，如果我們執著於經驗的盲目習性，便會滋生恐懼，陷入對死亡的恐懼幻象。因此，我們應該修習看穿幻象的智慧，放下執念，與佛陀、菩薩的意願相連。以此培養強大的智慧和純淨善良的心，從而解脫輪迴，回歸我們的光明本心，並幫助他人。

*The path to Amitabha's Pure Land requires disciplined awareness of Dharma — ordinary human living alone will not carry us there.*

The only way we can be awakened is to developing our awareness ability towards Dharma with discipline.

If we only live for normal human life, we will distrust ourselves that we can go to Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land and instead we will fall into reincarnation.

**Life is causation.**

Discipline to create cause of learning Dharma and become Dharma is the only way to hold nothing, causing no blind karma and sincere heart to connect to Amitabha.

Part of a conversation in the Pure Name Buddha book between Siddartha and a monk named Da Jiah Ye.

"You know Buddha is incredible right?"

"Yes, Buddha is incredible."

"But did you know normal people are incredible too."

All people come from incredible Dharma, so therefore they are incredible.

Dharma is unlimited so it's incredible.

Dharma creates Buddha is incredible, but Dharma also creates normal people — that is incredible.

Buddha is incredible because he is aware of Dharma and aware of all the different.

## The Long Road of the Dharma — Why No Language Can Hold the Complete Truth

*Twenty-five centuries, six languages, countless hands. By the time the teaching reaches us, the words are tired. Only sharp observing and discipline can reach what they were trying to point at.*

## Beginnings

Translators were incredible scholars, with incredible karma, and we are lucky they helped us the way they have. So that makes our karma lucky also to come into contact with it. We have to work hard as well. We cannot just read it one time and catch the meaning. 

Why?

*The Buddha did not speak English.*

Contrary to social media one liners about Buddhist wisdom and over-simplified personal development hype: *If true wisdom was so easy to find and learn and do, why even write it?*

Why would the Buddha teach everyday for more than 40 years. Tens of thousands of sutras of philosophy classes. Even more summaries. And then summaries of summaries. If the wisdom was so easy, *why would we have to do this?* 

**Because it cannot be that easy.**

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/2026/05/buddhism_transmission_pathways_v1_8_20260503.png)

Look at the diagram above. It is not decoration. It is the route the Dharma had to walk to reach the page in front of you.

**And this is incredible. Dharma Wisdom can pass through all the languages because it is beyond language.** 

The truth, remains the truth.

The Buddha did not speak English. But it is not clear if he spoke in Sanskrit either. He likely spoke in Magadhi Prakrit — a working language of north India in the Magadhra Region around 500 BCE — and for the first few centuries after his passing, his teaching was not clearly written down. It was carried in the bodies and breath of monks who memorised it.

**From there, the road begins.**

---

### Theravada — the southern road

The teaching crossed into Pali around 100 BCE, was written down in Sri Lanka, and from there moved into Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos. This is the closest line we have to the original sound of the Buddha's words. Even so, Pali is not Magadhi. Already, one translation has happened.

### Mahayana — the northern road

The teaching moved through Gandhari Prakrit, then into Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, then Classical Sanskrit. From Sanskrit it crossed the Silk Road into Classical Chinese — three or four hundred years of translation work by monks like Kumarajiva and Xuanzang. Then from Chinese into Classical Japanese, into Korean, into Vietnamese.

### Zen — a branch off Chinese

Zen is Chinese Chan that travelled into Japan around 1200 CE. So before a Zen text reaches English, it has been: Magadhi → Sanskrit → Classical Chinese → Classical Japanese → English. Five languages. Five sets of translator hands. I suspect it went through European languages German and French before it hit English. Another layer!

### Tibetan — the high road

Tibetan translators around 800 CE did something unusual. They built a special form of Classical Tibetan precisely to receive Sanskrit Buddhist terms one-for-one. It is the most technically careful translation in the whole tree. But it is still translation. It has also not had the modern adjustment over time to relate the older words with meanings a different generation can understand. A balance that Chinese translators were instrumental in - mixing literal and modern words to find the true meaning AS a person of that time could understand.

### Greco-Buddhist — the road that broke

There was once a fifth direction. The Buddha's teaching met the Greek world after Alexander, passed into Koine Greek, then Latin. It might have reached Europe two thousand years ago. The chain broke. Look at the dotted line on the right of the diagram. That is a road that closed.

Many Greek and Roman philosophers met Buddhist monks in their travels and their influence came back into their philosophy.

### Academic West — the late arrival

German and French scholars in the 1800s began studying Sanskrit and Pali directly. English translations of the suttas and sutras did not really begin until around 1900 CE. From the Buddha to the first serious English Dharma book is roughly 2,400 years.

---

## Why This Matters

Pick any school. Theravada, Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan. Every one of them reaches English through a chain of at least three or four languages, and every translator in that chain made choices.

They are limited by their own language. A chinese word has characters, so a word is a connection of many little stories together. But English has one word. Letters make up english words so might not caatch the depth of the chinese counter-parts.

But ancient chinese characters are that, ancient, and so difficult to find someone who can clearly grasp the meaning.

A word like *dukkha* becomes "suffering" in English — but dukkha is not suffering. It is closer to "unsatisfactoriness, the friction of impermanence rubbing against a self that wants permanence." One English word cannot carry that.

A word like *śūnyatā* becomes "emptiness" — but emptiness in English sounds like a void, an absence, something cold. Śūnyatā is not absence. It is the openness that allows everything to appear.

Multiply this by every key term. Multiply that by every sentence. Multiply that by every chain of translators across two and a half thousand years.

This is why studying Buddhism in English — no matter the school — is, in a sense, mission impossible. The medium is too thin. The road is too long. The words have lost weight along the way.

## And Yet

And yet, here we are. Trying.

To even attempt to study the Dharma in English in this century is amazing karma. Most beings born across the last 2,500 years never had access to any of this. We have something — fragments, translations, lineages still alive in pockets of the world. The fragments are enough, if we are willing.

But willing to do what?

Willing to not stop at the words.

The words are pointers. The words have always been pointers, even in Magadhi, even in Pali, even in Sanskrit. The Buddha himself said his teaching was a raft — useful for crossing, not to be carried on the head once you reach the other shore. If even the original words were a raft, what are five-translations-deep English words? They are a sketch of a raft. They are notes for a raft.

So the truth was never going to come from the page. Not for anyone, in any century, in any language. The page was always a doorway, and the doorway is narrow.

---

## What Reaches Through

Because true ability can only come from the right cause - true observing.

And I can only do the true observing for myself. And you for yourself. That is why it can lead to true wisdom. 

**Correct cause, correct result.**

What reaches through every language, every translation, every lost nuance, is something the words were always pointing at and never were.

That something is reachable only by sharp observing and discipline.

Sharp observing — watching the heart, watching the breath, watching the rise and fall of every thought, watching how suffering is built moment by moment inside our own consciousness.

Discipline — the willingness to keep observing when it is boring, when it is painful, when nothing is happening, when everything is happening, when the ego pulls you back into its old story a thousand times a day.

No language carried the truth. No school holds the truth in its words. The truth of life is only ever discovered, never received. That is what makes it real. That is what makes it powerful.

The diagram shows you 2,500 years of effort. Monks, translators, lineage holders, scholars — all of them passing the raft along, knowing the raft is not the shore.

Now the raft has reached us. In English. Imperfect, thin, five-times-translated.

It is enough. If we observe. If we have the discipline. The truth is still here, waiting, in exactly the same place it has always been — not in the words, but in the looking.

"No-I"  
Who is doing reincarnation?  
Who has the eternal birth in the Pure Land?

"No-I", no one is doing reincarnation.  
"No-I", no one has the eternal birth in the Pure Land.

Our heart blindly creates dreams as the reincarnation illusion.

## Causation-I

- Come from other's conditions to mixed. (Need many causes to make it appear)
- All conditions coming from other's conditions, so no any individual condition, just illusion created from our hearts
- All illusion can appear but never there, so is truly Empty, but still we can feel about them, like in a dream
- Influence by many information
- Limited in Birth, Edging, Illness and Death system
- We connect and aware of body (Causation-I) A aware of B, A is not B. So in causation. Therefore has no true I
- Causation-I created temporary body, feelings, thoughts, actions, experiences, no eternal truth self

*A profound meditation on emptiness and causation — why nothing has an individual self, yet everything can appear.*

---

Why life is illusion?

I can not come from I

I can not come from others

No I, who is thinking?

Real I, where does it come from?

---

Life is an illusion  
Illusion is empty  
All comes from our hearts

Life is an illusion  
The system of life is causation.  
Causation is cause and effect.

Because joining causes creates new effects, and new impacts become new causes, the change force never ceases to appear in everything.

Therefore, each cause is created by others and has no individual self; thus, each cause is truly empty.

Empty, yet it can appear; that's why it is an illusion.

*Understanding that Causation-I is the root of worry and fear, and a two-step meditation to free the heart into the present moment.*

---

## The Root of Worry

1. Causation-I is the cause of worry — no Causation-I, no worry — clean out Causation-I
2. To understand direct empty meditation

Causation is not only where worry comes from but also fear of death and suffering.

Observe — do we only calculate through what I want and through my I? If so you will never be out of reincarnation.

Appreciate, nature, philosophy to out of I.

Causation-I is illusion. Worry is illusion. Let it go doesn't exist. All temporary, no comparing, life is only to help us to learn life, no good no bad, let all the negative go. There is no one cause, causation means many cause. The main cause is that we can't see through I is illusion — take I too serious and trapped in the fake Causation-I.

## Let the True Heart Be Free to Enjoy Every Present

**Step 1** — Free from I and mine awareness — clean out seeing everything through I and mine

**Step 2** — Let go of comparing heart — philosophy is to let it go. Hold comparing and your heart will never be free

Enjoy challenge is where the wisdom of brave heart comes from.
### Meditation Steps into Amitabha Buddha Pure Land

*The path of meditation as a progressive letting go — from space, from body, from knowledge, from the self — until only pure awareness remains, and the Buddha force is realised.*

### The Steps of Letting Go

Free from space.

Free from body.

Free from all the knowledge.

Free from I consciousness.

Observing all the Dharma.

Observing ability able to aware all the Dharma is no beginning no end Buddha force.

### Tai Chi and the Philosophy

In Tai Chi 1 and 2 is what we do, free from the above two to be the philosophy.

All knowledge comes from illusion of illusion.

Whole universe is still in reincarnation knowledge so still have to see through and let go of that knowledge.

Free from thinking and the knowledge then you can be aware of your heart.

We are learning Buddhism to be free from any knowledge. See through some illusion new one will appear to trick you. Keep see through to let go and free from it.

Become the wisdom itself, not the knowledge.

### The Two Parts of Illusion Being

What you experience in Illusion being has two parts — ourself and everything else.

Ourself is a habit you are used to — ego — never exists but think it is ourself.

I feeling is not even true self. True self without I feeling — no I, no human — pure consciousness. Pure awareness ability.

No space, no illusion body, no blindness body.

### Beyond Our Limitations

Everything the way we believe, it is just our own limitation.

Fish swim, human walk, energy god fly. Are we limited in our limited ability beliefs.

Aware all the Dharma in our universe is our limitation blind heart created together.

Not hold on our own blind truths, finally we can experience Nirvana.

Heart see through every Dharma is a limitation.

Aware all the Dharma but not possessive towards any Dharma or ability.

### The Buddha Force

Observing ability able to aware all the Dharma is no beginning no end — Buddha force.

Eternal force, unlimited joy, true Dharma self, always pure, unlimited light, power to build up Pure Land.

When we meditate into pure consciousness, bow to Amitabha Buddha or joyful call his name, to connect our will to his will.

*The power of consciousness is already eternal — the question is whether it remains blind or awakens to its own unlimited nature.*

Essence of consciousness is empty. Essence of causation is also empty.

### Function of Hidden Consciousness

Our life is not yet free will. It is a mix of random blind karma become what we are experiencing.

For example we didn't have a choice to have life no suffering only joy.

So the way we have life is random causation created from our hidden consciousness becomes our current life.

Causation is aware nothing. Hidden consciousness is the power to aware everything.

There is much more ability in hidden consciousness.

Causation has no blind or awaken either one.

We have birth and death because we don't have eternal Dharma.

Hidden consciousness means, consciousness still in the blind zone, awakening abilities is hidden.

Consciousness is already eternal, in a blind reincarnation, suffering way. Or in awakened unlimited joy no suffering way and help others through compassion heart by use convenient wisdom, as One Heart Two Gates.

Aware Dharma, free from worry. Aware body free from pain and tension, and aware the energy (Qi) to have strong good life force to live.

Aware become Tai Chi wisdom, that way our body as sub-consciousness don't act blindly to have suffering.

### Om Mani Padme Hum

"Om" means perfect. But we keep not seeing that perfect circle.

"Mani" is wisdom Jewel which is our awakened wisdom ability, to help our self and others out of suffering, and discover eternal Dharma Joy.

"Padme" is then unlimited light pure lotus as convenient wisdom to purify our own heart and others.

"Hum" is when the consciousness awaken and finished spiritual Will, finally then our hidden consciousness can become awaken consciousness — Buddha.

## Three Stages of Heart

*The journey from blind reaction to awakened nature — seeing through illusion, returning to the pure observer, and recognising the heart was already Buddhahood all along.*

### Stage 1 — Receive Blind Act / React

Blind Causation-I.

### Stage 2 — Original Wisdom Self

Heart observing blind heart and aware it's not the blind heart.

Back to essence, back to pure observer.

A is not B — see through illusion.

### Stage 3 — Developing Awaken Wisdom Self

When in stage 2 — heart becomes one heart one intention to do meditation and observe all the spiritual discipline and become them.

No more in Causation-I, pure observer power to observe Dharma — heart is naturally already spirits — nothing to get.

Four Eternal Hearts is nature. Illusion nothing to be greedy about.

Once you are awakening eternal wisdom is your nature being. You don't have to get wisdom. Just aware your heart is Buddhahood — make it stronger to awaken.

We are already spiritual, learning to get rid of blindness habit.

Nothing you can get, just be aware of the system Dharma.

More eternal Dharma you awaken becomes your Dharma true I ability.
### Heart Sutra - English Translation
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/heart-sutra-english-translation/
Last updated: 2026-04-16T03:47:18.000Z
Heart Sutra  
  
Observing-Self-Being Bodhisattva developed deep wisdom to observe and be aware of ​the truth of life. After that, he became brightly aware that the five developments (Illusion being, receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness) are empty, and he released all suffering and pain.  
  
Buddha said to his student: Sir Li Tsö, Illusion being (the body and its surrounding) is not different than Emptiness, and Emptiness is not different than Illusion Being. Illusion Being is Emptiness, Emptiness is Illusion Being. Receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness are also Emptiness.  
  
He continued: Sir Li Tsö, the essence of Dharma (consciousness) has no form, never appears nor disappears, is neither dirty nor clean, and is never added to nor subtracted from.  
  
Because this is so, Emptiness (the true essence of Dharma) has:  
​No Illusion Being  
​No Receiving, thinking, acting, or awareness  
​No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind  
​No form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or Dharma (the appearance of all life form)  
​No limit to the awareness of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, or thinking  
​No blind awareness  
​No aging and death  
​No suffering, acquiring, destroying, or learning  
​No wisdom and nothing to get  
  
Because he becomes aware of that the truth of life is consciousness and Illusion Being, and both truly are emptiness. He understands that there is nothing to get from life. Then, as Bodhisattva, he helps people become aware of the truth of life.  
  
From deep awareness of the truth of life, his heart becomes free. Because his heart is free ​he has no fear and is awakened from dream illusions. Thus, he reaches Nirvana.  
  
Because all Buddha’s develop completely the Por Ler wisdom to observe and be aware of the truth of life, they reach the development of limitless complete awareness.  
  
This is why Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is:  
​The philosophy to reach Buddha Consciousness;  
​The philosophy of unlimited bright awareness;  
​The highest philosophy of the truth of life;  
​The philosophy that explains how incredible the truth of life is;  
​The philosophy that can release the suffering from any form of life;  
​The completely true philosophy without blind awareness  
  
So the meaning of Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is to help people become aware of the truth of life. Truly, it is to help people become aware of the truth of life.  
  
Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is the philosophy to help people most quickly develop complete unlimited awareness.
### What Does Aware of Energy Mean? Yi Jin Jing, Bone Marrow Washing, and the Path Beyond Reincarnation

Last updated: 2026-04-10T15:09:55.000Z
*A complete teaching on the energy cultivation system — from opening the joints and Dan-Tian centres, to developing awareness of Qi in its different forms, to the ultimate purpose: freeing consciousness from blind birth, ageing, illness and death.*

### Yi Jin Jing and Bone Marrow Washing

易筋經  
Yi Jin Jin

乾坤洗髓經  
Qian Kun — Bone Marrow Washing

Yi Jin Jing dharma helps us to open the channel energy from all the joints.

After that, from Chen Kun Bone Marrow Washing we are training to be aware of the energy all the way to the third eye — at the end, to make the third eye open.

Chen Kun Bone Marrow Washing can make your hormones active to grow bone marrow.

This helps your top Dan-Tian third eye to open.

Tai Chi only opens the low Dan-Tian.

Tai Chi low Dan-Tian into Wu Ji dharma — then the middle Dan-Tian can open.

When the middle Dan-Tian starts to feel light and sensitive, we can absorb the energy and then move it to the third eye — it can open the top Dan-Tian as well.

### What Does Aware Energy Mean?

Lightness.  
Tingly / Ticklish feeling.  
Can be visible with open third eyes.  
Created by developing the dharma system in our body, mind and spirit.

### Different Types of Energy Awareness

### Silk Worm Line Energy Style

First light energy from finger, then to whole body.

The light silk worm line energy style has healing powers.

Feels kind of like energy massaging our nerves — to free from pain and tension.

Where it can't pass through is tense. Let it flow to balance your whole body.

### Cloud Energy

Feel the cloud and how it moves — rolling free to every angle.

Once we are aware of how cloud moves, we can create the cloud energy — like playing with the cloud as one piece.

Everything you move is always energy inside the body and outside the surroundings.

We just don't have a system to sense them. So build the dharma — the system — to be aware of them. Then use your body to try and connect and copy them: Cloud, Water, Fire, Earth...

Everything is energy, but it has a certain way of running its system to create different natures.

So make your nerve system connect to a certain kind of energy.

Like fire — it will have a boiling, charged, exciting feeling from the foot, boiling vibration up.

Each energy is connected through our heart. We have a map through Tai Chi. Our body — the mini universe — has all kinds of nerve connection systems. Through the energy centre core and all other meridians, we can create the energy network.

Then we can be free to enjoy energy awareness. 😊☯️

### We Have Dharma — Don't Let Ageing, Illness and Death Control You

After learning and developing energy systems awareness, we can continue through Buddhist dharma to connect to our heart — and create the golden energy lotus, or connect to unlimited kinds of spiritual energy.

Learn the system now. You already have the possibility to do it. 😀☯️☸️🙏

Train healing, train Tai Chi, train meditation — understand all the eternal philosophy. That's how you change your consciousness.

Try to survive and then die. It's a trick of reincarnation, blindness of suffering.

Focus on the deep meaning and true value of life — that's how you raise your consciousness.

Don't let ageing, illness and death control you. Keep your energy, body and life force healthy so you have the power to be awaken.

When we win these, we are free from death. Because our consciousness is no longer at the human level anymore. We will be able to be aware — we are not the body, we are awaken. We take care of this four elements body, but you aren't possessive of it.

Our awareness is not the surroundings. Our awareness is not the body.

So consciousness can be free from both.

We don't have to only live in normal life. We have dharma.

Don't have dharma, then can't be free from blind birth, ageing, illness and death.

If we only hear the dharma and don't train to become the dharma, we will not awaken.

Win ageing, illness and death — then we have no blind birth. No blind birth, then we are out of reincarnation. But must also have no ego — then will not fall back into reincarnation.

### Amitabha Buddha — Three Conditions

- Hold nothing
- Create no bad karma
- Bow sincerely to Amitabha Buddha, or call his name 10 times with respect and with will to become a student in his Pure Land

Only when you practise, appreciate and are aware of dharma, the eternal heart can awaken.

Aware dharma — everything else is blindness reincarnation.

One heart two gates.

Don't develop dharma, then we will just be stuck in blind causation.

Don't have to hold because you can create.

Amitabha's Pure Land is unlimited joy. It is because there is only unlimited awaken dharma in the Pure Land — no blindness, no suffering causation.

Most planets don't have dharma. Also on the planets that have dharma, it also has to have timing for us to appear at the right time and place to learn the dharma.

So even Buddha said that the opportunity is truly incredible.

We are truly incredibly lucky. 🍀😀☸️☯️🙏🐉🪷

*How following the Amitabha Buddha system can bring true awakening in this lifetime.*

A space where you can learn, train and practice Dharma with no suffering.

When we hold, we will not even be aware of it, ego has this ability. And no one else will care that you hold or to tell you that you hold. Only through awaken through suffering or learning Dharma will you realise i am holding or i was lost holding in this way or that way.

By see through life is illusion and not to hold onto it, but share wisdom and kind heart, that we can still in this lifetime truly experience awaken. Through learning and following Amitabha Buddha system and developing all the Dharma as our being.

*A poem on the illusion of self, the turning wheel of causation, and the quiet freedom of awakening into kindness.*

Our life is truly just an illusion.

We are just here playing reincarnation.

In this fleeting life, who am I?

A puzzle of causation passing by.

Even the eternal universe we see,

Is just impermanent,

no solidity.

Time never exists, yet still it flows, whipping us keep going.

From birth to death

What am I?

Observer is not what we are observing.

In causation, no fixed self can truly existing.

Birth and death are just our dreaming,

Do you want to be forever awakening?

Free from "I and Mine", unchaining.

No more blind causation turning,

No more cycles, no more greed burning.

Awakening…

Kindness-heart, gently arising.

Awakening…

Dharma being, joyfully shining.

Do you want to be forever free?

No more blind causation,

No more reincarnation.

No more chaining,

Awakening into Kindness Dharma being.

### Dao and Buddhism — Awareness Beyond the Universe
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/dao-and-buddhism-awareness-beyond-the-universe/
Last updated: 2026-03-10T05:57:39.000Z
*The path of Dao is to become aware of the entire universe in every present moment. The path of Buddhism goes further — beyond the universe itself, to the Heart that built it all.*

It's not to do the move. It's to use the move to be aware of your body and then the space.

For what? To control your heart, control the skill and function.

You are developing the ability to be that philosophy in any moment.

You use all your consciousness united to do this. Body mind and spirits united as one.

Aware your body through your energy motion, speed and self defense in meditation zone, then use that ability to be aware of the space. And eventually to be aware of the entire universe.

Entire universe system is called Dao. It's in the present running, never in the future. You can never reach anywhere, only just be aware of the entire universe system in every present.

So the goal is in the path. The final goal is make your consciousness aware the whole universe. Where your consciousness connects to the entire universe.

Dao — the path is the goal — aware the universe system in every present.

Dao is towards aware the entire universe. Universe is still inside reincarnation.

Buddhism is to go beyond the universe, not to be aware the universe but to be aware of the Heart. True awareness ability is out of connection to all. Illusion, thinking, feelings. When out of all this it's still there just out of what it connects to. No form suddenly has no border — universe has unlimited changing but still has a border.

Heart build the universe.

Heart is true essence of everything.

Because it has no form can suddenly be free from universe, free from reincarnation.
### Buddhism Awakening

Last updated: 2026-03-10T05:51:01.000Z
*Awakening begins with understanding our Heart — the choice between blindness and wisdom, and how Tai Chi bridges the gap between thinking and true awareness.*

Buddhism Awakening means:

Life is our awareness abilities as our (Heart).  
No awareness No life.

And our Heart can be One Heart Two Gates.

Either blind or Awaken.

When is blind; our Heart will control by the blind Dharma (system) of Birth, aging, Illness, and Death, with the reincarnation universe system of Appear, Developing, Destroy, and Disappear.

When is awakening, our Heart will have "Dharma Self Being center" as free wise and kindness "Eternal Will" to developing unlimited eternal "Dharma Self Being".

Tai Chi is the best system for us to experience become No I as Moving Meditation System, an amazing bridge to help us understand Buddhism without being lost in thinking Ego.

Tai Chi is pure intuition awareness, any "Thinking I" cannot do it perfectly.

To discipline aware the system of Tai Chi need train from:

法則：fǎ zé  
Discipline of system

道韻：dào yùn  
Melody of Dao

奧義：ào yì  
Meaning of Function

意境：yì jìng  
Creating of spirit awareness

With this force we can truly understand no "Causation-I" and become pure wisdom "Dharma-I".

With "Dharma-I" to bow to Amitabha, next life, we can out of reincarnation, and enter Amitabha's Pure Land. 😊☯️☸️🙏🐉🪷

Last updated: 2026-03-08T11:01:14.000Z
*Two paths of power — one through the art of using energy, one through the Dharma that lives already within your Heart.*

Tianren vs Tianshen — Sky Human vs Sky God.

27 layers of 33 dimensions each — just of energy gods. The highest is Empty Gods. Not sure how many levels.

Use energy to take care of your body, live long time.

### Wushu — Martial (Power) Art

The art of using power.

- Internal vs external
  - Feel energy inside
  - Feel energy outside (because energy same)
- If you can aware both — now journey Sky Human
- But current body not able to aware fully, so body will destroy

### Fashu — Dharma Art

Everything is a system.

Human see something, call it a thing — like lightning.

Lightning is not just a thing, it is a system. Awakened consciousness see everything like a system. Understand the system, you can learn to create it.

Daoism Fa Shu still have a I.

- Two kinds:
  - Absorb energy into body to use it
  - Connect to nature, absorb into body to use it

When we train Qigong we absorb energy from outside to refresh body — but doesn't go that strong. The energy retrain the body.

Buddhism Fa Shu have No I.

- Don't care about this I?
- Sky abilities
  - Go to Pure Land and learn this
- You don't have to get it somewhere — power in you, in your Heart
- Heart can aware all the existing Dharma
- Like the story of the Beggar:
  - He has a diamond in his pocket, don't even know it — so remain beggar
  - In your Heart have sky abilities but don't even know it, or have karma yet to train it

Last updated: 2026-03-06T10:35:51.000Z
*Through meditation, we step beyond body, space, and knowledge — dissolving into pure awareness and connecting our will to the boundless force of Amitabha Buddha.*

Free from space.  
Free from body.  
Free from all the knowledge.  
Free from I consciousness.  
Observing all the Dharma.  
Observing ability able to aware all the Dharma is no beginning no end — Buddha force.

In Tai Chi, 1 and 2 is what we do — free from the above two to be the philosophy.

All knowledge comes from illusion of illusion. Whole universe is still in reincarnation knowledge, so still have to see through and let go of that knowledge. Free from thinking and the knowledge, then you can be aware of your heart. We are learning Buddhism to be free from any knowledge.

See through some illusion — new one will appear to trick you. Keep see through to let go and free from it. Become the wisdom itself, not the knowledge.

What you experience in Illusion being has two parts — ourself and everything else.

Ourself is a habit you are used to — ego — never exists but think it is ourself.

I feeling is not even true self.

True self without I feeling — no I, no human — pure consciousness.

Pure awareness ability. No space, no illusion body, no blindness body.

Everything the way we believe, it is just our own limitation.

Fish swim, human walk, energy god fly. Are we limited in our limited ability beliefs?

Aware all the Dharma in our universe is our limitation blind heart created together.

Not hold on our own blind truths, finally we can experience nirvana.

Heart see through every Dharma is a limitation. Aware all the Dharma but not possessive towards any Dharma or ability.

Observing ability able to aware all the Dharma is no beginning no end — Buddha force.  
Eternal force, unlimited joy, true Dharma self, always pure, unlimited light, power to build up Pure Land.

When we meditate into pure consciousness, bow to Amitabha Buddha or joyful call his name, to connect our will to his will. 😊🙏☸️🐉🪷

*How pure consciousness creates the relative world — from Wu Ji through Yin and Yang to the four elements, and how Tai Chi awakens us back to harmony.*

---

Pure consciousness represents Wu Ji in I Ching.

Consciousness creates relative through searching. In I Ching this is Yin and Yang. In Tai Chi it's energy — Yin and Yang — which becomes four elements.

Our consciousness creates I and mine — this also means relative.

Empty as pure consciousness (Wu Ji), then it creates Yin and Yang harmony which creates four elements. Four elements in all the universe creates all the possibilities.

4 element body and 4 element in all the surroundings. Your body is the 4 elements combined. The space is the elements separated.

Move joyful, free powerful and sure, then your consciousness will be awaken — Tai Chi. When you are this ability you will calm, because you are self confident, sure and in harmony.

Consciousness create and connect to this world. Develop to connect and create in both sides — illusion and consciousness. We are here to learn kindness heart, kind to ourselves and every life. Wise, kind and generous.

Yin and Yang in Buddhism is called relative.

*The two wings of meditation practice — one cultivates the body's harmony with nature, the other awakens consciousness beyond the cycle of change.*

---

**Question from a student:**

*"Hi Sifu, I didn't hear the difference between Moving Meditation & Still Meditation. Are you able to give a summary please?"*

---

**Answer — also as Friday class summary:**

## Moving Meditation

Moving meditation is Tai Chi.

To aware body action, posture, the energy motion with nature harmonies of meditation rhythm — to create 4 elements force without personal blind movement.

Perfect harmony with opposite of extreme Yin and Yang changing force.

Moving meditation for body no tension, to develop intuition ability of martial arts self defense, and finally becoming Still meditation ability to aware of system of Dao (Tao), which is the law of universe.

Into such awareness abilities is Taoism Eternal Nature Being (energy God).

## Still Meditation

Still meditation is not Still.

It mean consciousness not blindly following blind cause habits karma but aware of not changing eternal wisdom Dharma.

So Still means:

- Staying abilities as still eternal wisdom system to change
- Aware of essence of consciousness is not the change force as empty as no form, no form no change, so it's still

## The Highest Level

Meditation in both ability — Eternal Still harmony with extremes Yin Yang change — and — No form No beginning No end still no change — is Taoist meditation highest level.

Perfect Tai Chi 太極 meditation and unlimited Wu Chi 無極 meditation as One.

## Buddhism Still Meditation

Buddhism Still meditation, the same as Daoism meditation, but go beyond with Four Eternal Hearts and Six Bodhisattva Characters to develop unlimited wisdoms to helps unlimited life and create Pure Land for all the kindness and awakening heart to learning unlimited Dharma as Amitabha Buddha and all other Buddha and Bodhisattvas.

Follow blind Causation-I, no end of suffering.

Follow eternal Dharmas, unlimited wisdom and joy appears.

May we follow awakening Dharma and eternal birth into Amitabha Buddha Pure Land to learning unlimited wisdoms.

*Daoist and Buddhist perspectives on consciousness, true life, and the path beyond illusion.*

---

### Daoist View — Zhēn Rén 真人

In Daoism / Taoism philosophy, human life is not yet truly born, it's just a living ghost.

True life means you have a system to keep yourself in harmony.

Zhēn Rén 真人 — not lost by greed hate stupidity or lost in blindness greed for materials but care about health and inner peace.

Zhēn Rén 真人 — able to out of body (no death) with peaceful heart and healthy body, at this level is free choice.

Zhēn Rén 真人 — see through human life is temporary and blind suffering, no more desire for this body or this earth life. Very peaceful out into Energy God world. Usually accepted by Daoism spiritual consciousness — Shén Xiān 神仙.

---

### Buddhism View of Death

Consciousness has no death.

Death doesn't even exist because consciousness has no form.

Empty space you can't kill it and consciousness is more empty than empty space.

Consciousness can't create by any causation, so it has no birth so no death.

But consciousness can connect to unlimited illusion life form, human idea of death is just consciousness transit from one life connection to another.

---

### Pure Seeds — Pure Land

Purify our heart creates pure Dharma seeds.

Pure seeds can connect to Pure Land.

After the Dharma seeds is unlimited wisdom and kindness, it can create Pure Land like every Buddha.

See through illusion.  
See through our own blindness ego,  
then we already create pure consciousness as pure seeds.

Bow sincerely to Amitabha.

Create many pure Dharma seeds in your heart — heart like dirt can grow the lotus seeds — make sure they are wisdom and compassion seeds to guide your heart into Pure Land.

Awaken is awaken from blindness illusion.

---

### Blind Awareness — Reincarnation

Without system you just have different causation mix. No free will or free creation. Only certain kind of blind control within the jail. All towards destroy and disappear — ageing illness and death.

---

### Direction of Life

Life is illusion — see through it, take it light, let it go, let it be.

Harmony with external. Inner peace as internal.

---

### Naroyen — Our True Essence

- **Unbreakable** — is pure eternal energy
- **Unthinkable** — intuition wisdom force
- **Incredible** — don't have to looking for it, first two when they happen then incredible naturally appears

---

Blind Act is the Mood of Causation waves.

Mood is like a river — once it flows, must go to the sea as reincarnation.

Good mood, bad mood, is all just blindness heart stuck in the jail of Causations.

Causations means everything comes from others — truly it has no individual self, like the dream, illusion, bubble, shadow, dew and lightning ⚡️

See through Ego delusions, free from blind Causation, developing Dharma Self-Being.

Dharma Self-Being is the ability to free from blind Causation.

No self, no mood, no dream illusion — free from Causation good and bad mood is perfect awakening mood.

我們的情緒即是「無明行」

情緒如同河流，一旦流淌，終將回歸大海，化為輪迴。

好心情和壞心情，都只是盲目的心靈被困於因果的牢籠之中。

因果意味著萬物皆源自於他人，它們本身並無獨立之身，如同夢境、幻象、泡沫、影子、露珠和閃電⚡️。

看穿假我妄想，擺脫盲目的因果束縛，修習佛法自性。

覺醒法性是擺脫盲目因果的能力。

無我，無情緒，無夢境幻象。

擺脫因果的善惡情緒，才是完美覺醒空靈心境。

### Diamond Sutra — A Simple Explanation
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/diamond-sutra-a-simple-explanation/
Last updated: 2026-02-26T02:59:36.000Z
Our universe runs on a reincarnation program. The Diamond Sutra shows how to stop running the code — by letting the heart abide nowhere.

---

Our universe has not yet been purified into a Pure Land. It remains a cyclical universe, governed by the program of (samsara) reincarnation.

Your life is continuously executed, repeated, and reinforced inside this program. What you call "reality" is actually a system generated by where your consciousness lives.

You live within identity, within emotions, within fear, within expectations. And so the world keeps recreating the same story, again and again, according to where your consciousness stays.

**The Laws of the Universe Arise from the Source Code of Your Consciousness**

At its core, what is this code?

At the most microscopic level, everything is made of vibration. Before being observed, particles exist in superposition — many possible futures at once. Free, open, and full of potential.

This is what Buddhism calls emptiness (sunyata).

Emptiness does not mean nothingness. It means limitless possibilities. An undefined, unfixed original state.

**Where Should the Heart Abide?**

So if a person truly wishes to awaken, where should the heart abide?

Not in being right. Not in goodness. Not in wisdom. Not even in practice.

The heart should abide nowhere.

The moment the heart abides somewhere, the attachment program begins to run. Even abiding in "spiritual practice" is still attachment.

When the heart rests on a form, reality begins to compute.

- If the heart abides in "I was hurt," the world will keep providing evidence that you are a victim
- If the heart abides in "I must succeed," life will continuously generate anxiety and force you to run
- If the mind abides in "I am practicing," you are only practicing — not awakening

Abide anywhere, and reincarnation automatically unfolds.

Thoughts, emotions, roles, and memories are all conditioned phenomena. They are not the true self.

When this is seen clearly, the heart becomes free.

**"Let the heart arise without abiding anywhere"**

Means do not lock your attention or identity onto any form generated by remembered causes and conditions.

- If your heart abides in love, you will suffer from gain and loss
- If it adheres to wealth, you will be driven by fear of scarcity
- If it abides in the identity of a victim, your life will endlessly replay tragic scripts

The past heart cannot be grasped. The present heart cannot be grasped. The future heart cannot be grasped.

Release time's control over the heart.

The diamond wisdom cuts through all attachments. All phenomena are illusions — release attachment to space and form.

A Bodhisattva, abiding in No-I, no human, no life forms, no life time, practices all wholesome actions and thus attains supreme enlightenment.

To truly understand the Diamond Sutra is to realize wisdom that is real and unshakable, and to develop the unsurpassed path of Buddhahood.

Each of the 48 Wills is unlimited Buddha power. Heart creates it — from reincarnation's blind creation to awakening's unlimited choice.

---

48 Wills.

Each will is unlimited force. Each of the forces is unlimited. Each is Buddha power.

Earth belong to group join karma desire. Whole system has blindness and suffering, all our consciousness believe it's this way.

Don't take this as the reality, that is the trick of life, trick every life from ant to elephant to energy god.

Only when their heart learns unlimited eternal Dharma and becomes the Dharma through will. Then they are into awaken highest consciousness will.

Meditation power is developed, when complete developed can create Pure Land.

Heart creates it. Intention energy. Power to aware life is one consciousness.

Consciousness can be divided to become unlimited. Unlimited comes from others so it's empty. Empty is not empty, empty is everything. Empty is one, no separation.

- Reincarnation = blind creation into blind connection
- Awaken = develop ability to choose your creation

**Tai Chi**

Observe how to make perfect. Then you are not lost with outside world.

Only this body is the most important. Internal system free from blindness greed of external material.

Entire universe you can't do anything with it even if you have it all. So let it go.

### Amitabha Buddha System — 3 Conditions
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/amitabha-buddha-system-3-conditions/
Last updated: 2026-02-22T02:51:56.000Z
Hold nothing, create no bad karma, and bow sincerely — three conditions to free your consciousness into unlimited light and life.

---

**Hold Nothing**

Means understanding life is constantly changing as an illusion system.

Don't take anything personal. Everything is constantly changing, temporary connect and sharing. So become kindness spiritual heart.

Understand how life works, share but don't be blind to be possessive of illusion, nothing can be possessive even our body disappears. Enjoy life in a wise pure no possessive way.

Don't hold the past, don't hold searching in the future, even present don't hold because it's constantly changing. Instead be aware of the present.

Wise consciousness remain living in the present, aware everything. Non stop open heart, open mind to be aware of the eternal truth of life.

**No Bad Karma**

Have no bad intention to want to hurt other life.

If our karma still has habits of eating meat from animals, use grateful heart to eat the food, and bow to Hell-Bodhisattva for them. Hope they have a chance next lifetime to change out of animal karma.

Same if you kill a mosquito or bug to keep your space clean, use kindness to try and help them. Bow to Hell-Bodhisattva to change their karma, so they can free from being insect karma.

That way you can out of bad karma.

**Bow Sincerely**

Bow sincerely 10 times joyfully with appreciation heart to Amitabha Buddha.

If you do so, Amitabha Buddha will help you out of reincarnation, and guide your consciousness into:

- Unlimited light
- Unlimited life
- Unlimited joy

Incredible Pure Land.

Sunday philosophy summary: Tai Chi and Diamond Sutra

**No-I Meditation**

"No-I" is the best meditation.

Because No-I, no stress. No need to meditation.

Tai Chi, No-I moving meditation is free to act and No-I as meditation at the same time.

**Diamond Sutra**

Past, present, future heart can't get.

And No-I, No human, No life form, No life time.

So time, space, life form is just the illusion as causation. In causation, everything comes from others, no individual self as truly Empty.

See through Ego is just illusion as causation as No-I.

- No-I, No reincarnation
- No need to get wisdom
- No blindness
- No-I to be awakened

- Kindness without ego
- Care for others without personal

### 3 Steps to Awakening into Amitabha's Pure Land

Last updated: 2026-02-19T02:23:00.000Z
**3 Steps to Awakening into Amitabha's Pure Land**

Three levels of awakening — from freeing ourselves from blind causation, to reconnecting with Dharma-I, to sincerely bowing to Amitabha Buddha.

---

**Level 1 — Free from Blind Causation**

"I feeling" melts away.

Blind Causation-I creates 3 types of suffering:

- Mental worry
- Psychology stress
- Physical pain

After free from Blind Causation-I, pure awareness will appear.

See through illusion, back to essence.

Causation comes from others, no self — so these 3 types of causation suffering is not us.

When in pure joyful feeling, you feel exist without "I feeling." You feel light and joy and life is already perfect as pure heart being.

**Level 2 — Reconnect to Dharma-I**

Developing connection to Dharma — use pure heart to observe Dharma, or call Buddha or Bodhisattva name, sing mantra with your true self, or connect to moving meditation Dharma — Tai Chi.

**Level 3 — Sincerely Bow to Amitabha Buddha**

Then sincerely bow ten times to Amitabha Buddha.
### What Does Awakening in Buddhism Mean? ☸️
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/whatgbuddhist-awakening-means/
Last updated: 2026-02-09T02:22:43.000Z
## 

☸️ **Buddhist Awakening means:**

Life is our awareness **ability**—our **Heart**.

No awareness, no life.

And our heart can be **One Heart, Two Gates**:

**Either** Blind or **Awakened**.

When it **is blind**, our heart **is controlled** by the blind Dharma (system) of Birth, Aging, Illness, and Death, within the reincarnation universe system of **Appearance, Development, Destruction, and Disappearance.**

When it **is awakening**, our heart will have a “Dharma Self-Being Centre” as a free, **wise, and kind** “Eternal Will” to **develop an** unlimited, eternal “Dharma Self-Being.”

Tai Chi is the best system for us to experience **becoming “No I.”** As a **Moving Meditation System**, it is an amazing bridge to help us understand Buddhism without **getting** lost in the **Thinking Ego**.

Tai Chi is pure **intuitive** awareness; any “Thinking I” cannot do it perfectly.

To **discipline the awareness** of the system of Taiji, one needs training in:

- **法則 (fǎ zé):** Discipline of the system
- **道韻 (dào yùn):** Melody of Dao
- **奧義 (ào yì):** Meaning of Function
- **意境 (yì jìng):** Creation of spirit awareness

With this force, we can truly understand **“No Causation I”** and become pure wisdom: **“Dharma I.”**

With “Dharma I” to bow to **Amitabha**, in the next life, we can **transcend** reincarnation and **enter** Amitabha’s Pure Land.

### Tai Chi Dharma: The Geometry of Motion and the Vibration of Intention
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/tai-chi-dharma-the-geometry-of-motion-and-the-vibration-of-intention/
Last updated: 2026-01-04T09:14:00.000Z
**Class Overview: Three Core Subjects**

1. **Function:** Understanding how to use the Tai Chi sign (☯️) as a blueprint for the body.
2. **Daoyun (道韻):** Using the "Melody of Dao" to enjoy Tai Chi Dharma and release worry, fear, and tension.
3. **The Five Concepts:** 悟道 (Realization), 法則 (Laws/Principles), 道韻 (Melody), 奧義 (Deep Meaning), 本源 (The Source).

**Part I: Physical Practices – The Rolling Ball (Tai Chi Sign ☯️)**

*This section uses the geometry of the Taijitu (Yin Yang) to create a multi-dimensional "Awareness System" within the physical body.*

**1\. Full Body Imagery: Multiple Rolling Balls**

- **The Visualization:** Do not visualize just one ball. Instead, use the Tai Chi sign to create many rolling balls throughout the body. Imagine multiple "Rolling Tai Chi signs" functioning simultaneously.

**2\. The Feet: Rotation & The Laser Line**

- **Power Generation:** Power is generated through **rotation** at the feet.
- **The Laser Line:** Use the feet to "charge up" energy, sending a direct **"laser line"** from the ground through the body to the top of the crown.

**3\. Dantian & Spine: The Internal Rolling Mechanism**

- **Lower Abdominal Mechanics:** The low stomach pulls **in and up**. This movement draws the lower back toward the spine.
- **Directional Energy:** The Tai Chi ball rolls *inside* the body, pushing energy up the spine to the back of the head.**Key Principle:** The direction of the roll (**Lower abs \\rightarrow Up the spine**) is crucial for the internal "reverse energy" flow.
- **Abstraction:** Once the physical movement is mastered, you should be able to rotate the ball in **both directions** abstractly.

**4\. Upper Body & Joint Mechanics**

- **The Chest:** The chest acts as a rolling ball. It opens specifically at the **heart center** to create a feeling of lightness.
- **Smaller Tai Chi Balls:** Visualize smaller balls at the **shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knuckles.**
- **From Tai Chi to Wuji:** \* **Tai Chi:** We train the physical body within its limits.
- **Wuji:** This is the state of being unlimited. These internal balls should eventually be able to move in **any direction freely**.

**5\. The Curve: Natural Stretching**

- **The Stretch-Twist:** When practicing the specific curve of the Tai Chi sign, every "stretch" should include a slight **twist or curve**. This is more natural and effective than "stiff," linear stretching.

**Part II: Daoyun (道韻) – The Melody of Dao**

*This section explores how intention and vibration (Dharma) affect physical matter and your internal state.*

**1\. The Science of Intention & Sound**

- **Vibrational Impact:** Thoughts and intentions have physical effects, similar to how intention changes the structure of frozen water crystals (*Messages in Water*).
- **Cymatics:** Just as sound waves move metallic filings into geometric patterns on a plate, your **Dharma** (intention) acts as a wave that shapes your reality.
- **The Waves:**
- **Sound Wave:** Moves sand and filings into shapes.
- **Dao Wave:** Harmony experienced as a melody.
- **Dharma:** Your intention acting as a wave.

**2\. Practice and Energy Reset**

- **The Tuning Fork:** Find music that is peaceful and harmonious for your Qigong or Tai Chi. You create a sound/vibration through meditation, placing yourself in a state where the self vanishes to "create your future."
- **Energy Reset:** Practice Tai Chi with a **"complete drop"** (total release of tension) to achieve a 100% reset of your energy.
- **Awareness Shift:** Aim to be more aware of the energy flow and less aware of your "I-feeling" (ego/self-consciousness).

**Part III: Philosophical Definitions of Dao**

*These are the broader, more aspirational concepts regarding the nature of the "Awareness System."*

- **The Three Systems of Dao:** 1\. **The Body:** Awareness within the physical form. 2\. **Space:** Awareness of the environment. 3\. **Time:** Awareness of the flow of moments.

**Aspirational States**

- **Middle Dao:** As seen in the "Empty Master" story; moving clouds with "No-I." In this state, even space feels like your body, and "golden light" may leave the body.
- **Da Dao (The Great Dao):** The macrocosm—Sifu shared his Big Bang and twisting galaxies story
- **Continuous Growth:** Sensitivity grows through the discipline of maintaining your conditioning and practicing the Dharmas you have learned.

**Training Mindset**

- **The "Robot" Phase:** Practice initially like a robot. Follow the procedure strictly without letting the "I" (ego/personal preference) interfere.
- **The "No-I" Phase:** Transition into a state where you follow the procedure so naturally that the "I" vanishes.

  
**9 Soft Explosions Philosophy**

  
**The poem is below.** 

  
**Freeze the emotion. Sure the intention.** 

  
**Abstract the body. Recharge the energy.** 

  
**Kill the heart. Awaken the (god consciousness)**

  
**Sink power to spring point. Explode.** 

  
**Practice: This poem can help us, in combination with the Tai Chi ball, to be more sensitive and aware of the energy in our body and start to connect to the elements around us.**

“All conditioned things as causation are impermanent”—the dharma of arising and ceasing. (Suffering arises from clinging to impermanence as permanence.)  
  
“All phenomena are without self”—the wisdom of true peace .  
(Freedom arises from understanding the attachment to a false causation self.)  
  
“Nirvana is the state of ultimate joy”.  
(A moment of awakening and liberation leads to the path of Buddha self being .)  

Chinese:

‘諸行無常’是生滅法  
（痛苦因執着無常為有常）  
  
‘諸法無我’是寂滅相  
（自由因離開假我的執着）  
  
‘涅槃寂靜’是極樂法

Only see the positive, with no reaction to the negative. 

Every second is awesome. 

Through disciplined learning of Dharma and becoming eternal Dharma, we can always grow stronger in life with our body, mind, and spirit.

Train the body to observe the mind. Train the body and mind to be aware of the eternal changing of of life.

Every second, our heart can create suffering or joy. It’s about which side do we choose.

Slow down blind feelings and make a wise choice for spiritual karma.

*(With attempt at modern translation below in italics)*  
  
"Awakening Dharma I is our True Heart, after see through illusion I is not our self, and free from attachment to this causation I."

*(Awakening our Dharma I means back to our pure essence. See through illusion mean, the "I" is no longer the "I," and attachment to this self, chained to conditions, is released.)*  
  
"Through this wisdom ability, our heart is free and truly awakening, understanding time and our 4 elements physical I, is clear just the illusion we connect"

*(Through this wisdom, the heart and mind becomes free and truly awakened, understanding that time and the four elements of the body are clearly just illusions of connection.)*  
  
"Pure awakening heart can aware of our existence feeling, thought , are just causation , created by blindness, but our calm wise heart is not causation, which is Nature being ,no need to develop and no beginning no end  
Eternal unlimited light and joy Buddha seed."

*(A pure awakened mind can observe that our sense feelings and thoughts are blindly produced, merely results of cause and effect. Yet the calm, wise mind itself is not any cause or effect—it exists naturally, needing no development, without beginning nor end, remaining eternal, bright Buddha-nature.)*  
  
"With this wisdom to stay with true heart being, we surely can go to Amitabha Buddha’s pure land."

覺悟法我，就是我們的真心，看破了幻象之後我就不是我了，脫離了這個因緣所生之我的執著。  
  
透過這種智慧能力，我們的心自由並真正覺醒，了解時間和我們的身體四大元素  
，很明顯只是我們連結的幻覺，  
  
清淨的覺醒心可以覺察到我們存在的感受、思想，只是因果，是盲目造成的，但我們平靜的智慧心，不是任何因果，是自然存在，不需要發展，無始無終，永恆光明佛性。  
  
有了這樣的智慧，住於真心，我們一定能到阿彌陀佛的淨土。"

Siddhartha Buddha taught that every life is already Buddha.

In today's philosophy class, Sifu helped us explore what that sentence means.

He posed some questions for us to discuss, and through questions and answers,  
he taught there are several zones to help us understand this sentence.

---

## Questions to Consider

- So why are we in reincarnation?
- Why do we have suffering?
- How to connect to Amitabha Buddha?

---

## Zones of Development

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczNqUNi3Senc-UgWULU60EFDYndV55jMaIJaCht7f9TXbnqpzwLqG-ovfvESEeauKN0OOCjwz9xon-PZ48knQq0rDu33wafUDO6OxUW4_WL-J92vZxs7DVnwrqQQPRmDXYcQO9-NWOOyVsaSIYyyuAt_ew=w1334-h750-s-no-gm?authuser=0)

### First Zone

- Every life has the same pure essence ability
- We can call this Buddha essence. This is the meaning of the word 'Buddha' Siddhartha Buddha is likely referring to.
- But this word does not yet cover the amazing potential of our consciousness to develop Buddha ability.
- **Examples:**
  - Water gets dirty, but it remains water.
  - Dirty water, once it settles, becomes clear again. Or dirty water can be distilled into steam, condensed back to pure water again and again, water never actually get dirty.
- Summary: From essence every life equal

### Second Zone

- Ability to make water dirty.
- Once we enter reincarnation we develop skill to cloud and cover our Buddha essence.
- We blindly create and receive greed, hate, stupidity from inside and outside. We delude ourselves. We make a big mess. And forget we made it for ourselves.
- Summary: The mirror, gets dirty, cannot reflect anymore.

### Third Zone

- We develop the ability to clean our hearts.
- Our mirror, once back to shiny and clean, reflects our pure essence again and life is bright. For a moment.
- The start of developing Dharma wisdom.
- Although we can clean it, we cannot stop ourselves from making it dirty.
- Ability has beginner level and advanced level. So we learn from awakened consciousness who have mastered this skill.
- We start to practice convenient wisdom to help others free from suffering that we have been through. Wisdom grows.

### Fourth Zone

- Bodhisattva ability. Mirror never gets dirty anymore.
- Wisdom grows exponentially to help uncountable other life's to awaken and be aware of their Buddha essence.
- Bodhisattvas are developing the ability to build a Pure Land universe of Dharma wisdom.

### Fifth Zone

- Called complete unlimited perfect awakened Buddha
- Pure Land Universe is complete, the final level of awakened wisdom.

[Link to earlier post here](https://www.dropsofdharma.com/why-do-all-the-appearing-forms-of-dharma-have-to-change/)

**10 Observing Wisdoms (Intro to the heart sutra)**

1. **Let it be let it go** – Back to Essence is the first step in Buddhist wisdom)

Connection:

- Big deal small deal, no make issues - just illusion
- No need to try and hold, keep changing

2\. **Be like a cloud (take out I) and not use illusion I to judge, Wu Wei** – Clouds are the masters of this. Back to Essence but still can act.

Connection:

- Back to equal heart, no more judging - no I, no more suffering, back to empty
- Don’t know - can’t use mental
- Connection - connect to Eternal Dharma, Dharma I - no fake I

3\. **Dao (perfect path, perfect goal, no blockage)** – Wisdom can remain in the present

Connection:

- Illusion power constantly changing a fresh present to develop

4\. **Choose your awareness boundary** – Wise choice – Back to 1,2,3 again. Remain aware life is a dream illusion, develop precise meaning and direction in your life.

Connection: 

- Constant changing - Have to choose in every present - no choice, have to choose - or blind cause choose you!
- Otherwise we are controlled by causation:
  - Causation I (Our ego)
  - People connect
  - Ideas you think
  - Feeling you have

5\. **Use perfect philosophy to observe your intention.** Purify your intention. Observing Self Being.

**Connection:** 

- If we aware Eternal Dharma Truth then we have a chance to purify our intention.
- Connect to Dharma help us aware of this - one heart, two gates.

6\. **Observe no need to observe** – no searching heart. Reduce personal ego observing, develop intuition observing directly.

**Connection:**

7\. **Observe space and time are illusion** – blind receiver, receives feeling from space and time – wise receiver, as the centre, create feeling to influence space and time.

**Connection:** 

- Everything around you created by blindness, and you blindly receive it. So if you are aware it is illusion you will likely:
  - Create a dojo
  - Go to nice space to train - We don't have great Feng Shui so go find it.
  - Train with spiritual consciousness in bright direction (Know its illusion, so choose a spiritual one.)

8\. **My ego and the worlds ego is not important** – unlimited development 4 eternal hearts – the power to see through every life illusion, no longer affected by opinions from others – called great self-being freedom.

Connection:

- How does a Bodhisattva live without fear - in and out - no fear, Video game of life - lifestyle - change to any illusion- even people big issues, change space and time nothing can bother you
- Create will, beginning to create a will, but not develop completely yet

9\. **Bodhisattva: Observing Self-Being – True Self is observing –** So strong to build your force, develop a great will by heart to help every life

Connection:

10\. **Buddha: Observing Self-Being Pure Land Creator** – live through true will, true heart kindness being.

Connection:

- Buddha have unlimited force, unlimited kindness heart, create huge dojo pure land to develop - unlimited changing power, unlimited compassion, appearing form changing, unlimited wisdom, can change to whatever, highest level help everyone become Buddha

### Why do all the Appearing Forms of Dharma Have to Change?

Last updated: 2025-07-20T10:46:37.000Z
3 Eternal Dharma Truths

- 1st Eternal Dharma Truth
  - All the appearing forms of Dharma are constantly changing (so you can hold nothing)
- GD Question
  - Why does it have to change? Why does it have to be this way?

**Bright Side of Eternal Changing**

- Group Answers
  - That’s the way to learn hold nothing (match Dharma)
  - No moving/changing, no life - to be alive, means changing.
  - Life is illusion - nothing to hold - Change make us learn sharing.
  - If it doesn't change we could never appear as a form - no birth.
  - If no change - no need and no way to learn wisdom.
  - Why not? That is the nature of Dharma.
  - Causation need change to appear - no changing / no cause effect.
  - No changing then no free will - with changing we can always have choice and can improve. Reset power.
  - Constant changing means unlimited. Because we cannot control unlimited, instead we concentrate to develop our own force, practicing observing self-being, observing and becoming Dharma, and sharing kindness and wisdom with others.
  - Oogway
    - "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That is why it is called the PRESENT 😄 "

**Pure Name Buddha: Dark Side of Eternal Changing**

  - Power of changing allow you to create bad side.
  - Then changing in wrong direction, like a snowball of wrong causes come back to us make it harder to learn Dharma.
  - We can be aware of this side to check we are not creating causation in a wrong direction.
  - List
    1. Bad action system - lead to more bad action
    2. Speaking: make you speak blindly - return back
    3. Intention - make more blindness and support it later
    4. Killing karma through wrong intention
      1. other life - first 3 lead to this - cycle
    5. Desire - wrong desire to anything

    6. Speaking something not true to trick other
    7. Instigation - Speak something to make others fight - Incite
    8. Mean speaking to others
    9. Nonsense speaking
    10. Jealous
    11. Anger
    12. Fake philosophy
    13. Stingy - reduce power to be generous - generous develop ability to be more generous - easy life - match life more and more, changing
    14. Hate
    15. Laziness
    16. Make messy
    17. Blindness - don't care to know

Four Element Masters of Tai Chi

To create stronger earth power, let your heart feel empty, then channel your entire energy force to a sharp point without tension. To be the force of water is to remove your personal intention and be like a cloud drifting in the sky or like a river rolling into the ocean. To explode firepower, keep your heart as cold as ice; raise your energy like boiling steam and explode like a volcano shooting lava. To be like the wind is to live in a timeless zone and move as lightly as a breeze, as quickly as a tornado. Thank you, masters, I will be disciplined and practise them daily.”

 “Don’t forget the philosophies of Dragon Breathe and Dragon Temper, either,” exclaims Fire Master. “If you don’t practise them, you won’t be able to control the four element force.”

**Welcome to Being Human**

Life is short.  
Wisdom is low.  
Ego is big.  
Causation is a mess.

But…

Through it all, use the Lotus System — take the mess, observe it, purify it into wisdom and compassion, and rise our consciousness.
### What is Memory?
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/what-is-memory/
Last updated: 2025-06-22T08:50:12.000Z
**What is memory?**

First, we can distinguish between:

- **Memory of life** vs **an individual memory**

**Dharma view of memory:**

- Observed through the **8 consciousnesses**
- Memory exists in all 4 consciousnesses, not just the brain (a mistake of modern science)
- Regular human memory is all fake-I
  - Consciousness is always fresh! Holding nothing!
  - Dharma Joy memory is an ability
  - Taiji is an ability

### The 4 Types of Consciousness and Memory

- **Hidden consciousness**
  - Stores all memories but remains hidden
- **I consciousness**
  - Remembers with strong "I" feeling
  - Easily confuses memory and the feeling at the time, which can change it
- **Subconsciousness**
  - Remembers without the brain/thinking
  - Stores memory/emotion in the body
  - Example: stepping on something sharp — foot moves away without thinking
- **Brain consciousness memory**
  - Related to thinking
  - Functions: memorize, analyse, organize, decision, intention

### Understanding Memory

- A sound made to represent a word in human language (e.g., English) to express the feeling of an experience
- Memory is the **5th part of the 5 developments**
- Awareness boundary = experience = memory
- Memory is a blind capturing of experience/information from the 5 senses
- Related to **intention** and **ability**

### Two Kinds of Memory

1. **Original memory**
2. **Recall memory**
  - Explaining or recalling can slightly change a memory, unless using pure precise logic

---

### Dharma Perspective

- Every Dharma word is eternal wisdom, correct for time and space, for every life

---

### How to Be More Spiritual

- If life is a bowl of experience/memory:
  - Put more spirit in → learn more Dharma, discipline to clean
  - Steam it out into pure water → become Dharma, free from blindness
  - Empty out bad water and put fresh in → faster than steam, but more difficult
    - Requires holding nothing — don’t hold onto "diapers" (blind ego suffering)
- **No bowl** \= Bodhisattva level (super high)
  - Example: adult and child watch a horror movie — one scared, one relaxed — same illusion
- All the above represent different stages for different lives
- Goal: **Purify the 8 consciousnesses**
- **Awaken each consciousness through Dharma**

### Tools to Help

- **Taiji**: helps subconsciousness and I consciousness
- **Buddhism**: addresses brain and hidden consciousness
### Open Heart, Open Life - Observation, Creation and Internal Pure Land

Last updated: 2025-06-13T13:16:16.000Z
Use wisdom to observe yourself—not through the lens of 'I' and 'mine', which leads to greed and negativity.

Any negative feeling you have is through that I and mine. All the worry, all the stress—through the blindness and through the ego. 

And it doesn't mean you have to kill the ego, just open up the observation. Try to be curious and learn about life, and through that, help your true self develop. Your true self is not this greedy I and mine. It doesn't mean you are no-self. "I and mine" is just an ego possession habit.

It creates worry, it creates greed, it creates discontent. It creates inability to concentrate, focus, enjoy the present. 

When you are back to living in that open heart—care for every life, care for every second, and see every second as a valuable second—then life returns to the way it should be. Every second is valuable.

Every second is beautiful. Every second is a moment for you to enjoy pure kindness, pure care, and develop yourself, and be free from all the negative. So every second is an eternal treasure second. 

With practice, then, you realise life is always perfect.

It's just you're not able to see it. So, once you do that, of course, you're aware your consciousness is pure. 

Pure Land surely will be so happy you came over. Because Pure Land is 100% in an unlimited way like that.

Every second is a treasure second. Every treasure second is full of amazing joy. Every amazing joy is full of amazing wisdom to understand the mystery of life. And only understanding the mystery of life is full of appreciation.

And only appreciation is full of sharing with the other—appreciating together our spiritual consciousness. 

From the way we understand life here, forbearance and suffering become unlimited joy. Pure Land from Amitabha Buddha is unlimited joy in Pure Land. 

So, you want your life to become unlimited joy? You can practice now. And the more you practice that way—no ego, no I, and not greedy, and open heart to love your life—and open your observation to develop wisdom and understand the mystery of life, then you will find the creation power will appear.

I was born with creation power through observation power, through not being greedy. If I was lost through greed from I and mine, I don't have power to observe life. But today, if I want to make a story, I can write a crazy story—even make myself so excited.

That creation power—I didn't even know about it. But just because my heart is open. I didn't know I can create Taiji for real. And just because I'm interested in Taiji, if you ask me, I can create. I didn't know I can create Qigong for real, but I just want people to be more healthy—to understand their body, understand good posture, understand flexibility, understand energy flow, and create Qigong form. So, because I'm not lost, but I am not greedy, and because I'm curious about their life, then they create power.

And then, all of this came from observing philosophy and creating power.

I brought this wisdom to so many people—support them to develop and become more aware of their life. So, you can do the same. Not being there as a beggar and just want to grab something from life.

Take every second in order to observe what life is and try to learn what life is about—the essence, the function, and the goal.

And that wisdom, when you discover it, will give you unlimited force to create. 

And when you can create, life is unlimited joy.

---

### 📌 **Summary Points**

- Negative emotions are born from ego and possessiveness ("I and mine").
- You don’t need to kill the ego—just **observe it without attachment**.
- When the heart is open, life becomes beautiful and every moment becomes meaningful.
- **Pure Land** is not just a destination but a state of mind achieved through practice.
- Wisdom arises from curiosity, observation, and genuine care for others.
- **Creativity and healing** flow naturally when one lets go of greed and self-centeredness.

---

### ❓ **Reflection Questions for You**

To help clarify or deepen your understanding:

1. What does “I and mine” mean to you —how do you notice it show up in daily life?
2. What is the link between curiosity and wisdom in this teaching?
3. You talk about Pure Land—do you experience it more as a **place**, a **state**, or both?
4. How does “creation power” arise from non-greed? Can you recall a personal moment where that happened?
5. What is the relationship between suffering and forbearance in this teaching—do they *transform* or *dissolve*?

### The Middle View of Reality

Last updated: 2025-06-08T10:48:18.000Z
This verse is from the The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā by Nāgārjuna.

Sometimes called **the fundamental verses of the middle or Middle Way.**

“**Madhyamaka**” is a Sanskrit word that means “middle way.” 

In this work, Nagarjuna establishes the path of emptiness between annihilation and permanence.

---

## **The Middle View of Reality**

  
Not born, not destroyed, not eternal, not cut off,  
Not the same, not different, not coming, not going.  
This is called dependent origination, it skillfully ends all conceptual play.  
Whatever arises from causes and conditions, I say is empty by nature.  
Phenomena do not arise from themselves, nor from others,  
Nor from both, nor without cause—therefore, know: there is no true arising.

---

**中觀實相**  
不生亦不滅，不常亦不斷，  
不一亦不異，不來亦不出。  
能說是因緣，善滅諸戲論，  
因緣所生法，我說即是空，  
諸法不自生，亦不從他生，  
不共不無因，是故知無生。

---

## **Sifu Version**

I can not come from I, I can not come from others,  
No "I" who is thinking—Real I! Where does it come from?  
Life is an illusion, illusion is empty,  
All comes from our hearts.

浪起浪落，順風而行，隨波逐流。  
Waves rise and fall; I go with the wind, I go with the flow.

人生迭起，如潮無常。  
Life is full of ups and downs — ever-changing, like the tide.

唯心如水，無為而治。  
Our heart is like water: governing without force.

浪起不生，浪落不滅。  
Go as the rising wave, no birth; Drop as the falling wave, no death.

常樂我淨，常樂我淨。  
Eternal joy, true self, pure heart. 

永恆智慧，無限喜樂，真我，清淨之心。  
Eternal Wisdom. Unlimited Joy. True “I”. Pure Heart.

### **Sifu’s Discussion on Different Spaces Seen in Meditation**

- **Buddhism** – *Jing Tu* \= Pure Land
- **Daoism** – Describes different gods: regular gods / *shen* / possibly *shien?*

#### Human-level gods:

Egyptian, Roman, Viking, Greek, Indian, etc.

- These gods have human-style realms—powerful, well-built, full of material value, energy, and technology.
- Always about power, glory, and fantastic appearances.
- Impressive, but not much joy—don’t feel like you want to stay.

#### Beyond that (possibly "shien"?):

- **Daoist Realms** – United with nature

  - Paradise is not built from technology, but from the Four Elements.
  - A universe of energetic gods' zones.
  - Joy comes freely from harmony with nature.

#### **Buddhist Realms** – Pure, golden energy

- A pure, empty, light, and free feeling.
- The heart becomes sincere and pure through development.
- Countless lifetimes trying to understand life.
- Without Dharma, life becomes a trap: birth, suffering, death—never knowing why.
- Amitabha Buddha created a system to help us escape that cycle.

---

### **Amitabha Buddha’s Hua Sheng – Pure Land System**

- The Pure Land must be **100% pure.**
- Everyone there has **Bodhisattva awareness**, though not yet full Bodhisattva ability.
- That ability can be developed after arrival—that’s the foundation.
- Everything is illusion, created from our heart.
- Our heart is not strong—so together we create a shared heart of reincarnation, suffering, and karma.
- When we develop Dharma, an eternal force awakens.
- A strong heart means reincarnation can no longer control us—this is the Bodhisattva path.
- Consciousness is the **potential awareness of life.**

  - Every life has the potential to become a Buddha.
  - Buddhahood = Buddha Heart
  - This potential can be developed to a high level.

---

### **Bodhisattvas**

Bodhisattvas learn many Dharmas:

- Martial arts
- Healing
- Talents, arts
- Logical power
- Language power
- Awareness of other life force powers

They become skilled in all of them and keep adding new abilities lifetime after lifetime.  
Eventually, one reaches **Bodhisattva Level 1** (out of 10).  
After graduating all 10 levels: become a Buddha.

---

### **How to Develop One Heart, One Intention**

- Motivation and passion are not enough—trying hard is not the best way to reach joy.
- Joy never comes from tension.
- Discipline becomes joy once you become aware of it.
- Slowly clean out all blindness through discipline—see through the illusion.

#### Two Ways:

1. **Discipline with awareness:**

  - Life is an illusion.
  - Discipline leads to slow but real awakening.
2. **Talking to your heart (Concentration Style):**

  - Ask your heart / soul:

    - Who am I?
    - What is life about?
    - Am I lost?
  - Be aware of Dharma at the same time.

#### Internal Work:

- Could be blind doubt or suffering.
- Ask: Am I in it? Or causing it?
- Bowing practice:

  - Regret becomes a chip for the future.
  - Regret should make you **strong**, not weak.
  - Make wise choices.
  - Recreate your behavior—bow to Buddhas for help.
  - Train humility.

> Being good at something doesn’t mean you’ve mastered everything. There’s always more to train.

#### External Work:

- Training
- Conditioning
- Standards
- Recognize: the main cause is always your own choices.

---

### **How Bodhisattvas Train Spiritually**

- Open heart
- Understand Truth
- Kindness and compassion
- Pure heart
- Develop unlimited artistic wisdom

> Let go of ego—it’s like a stinky diaper from a million lifetimes.  
> Laugh, throw it away—**right away!**  
> Throw it away with light, smile, and joy!

---

### **Daily Practice Begins with Dharma:**

1. Reduce tension

> **Buddha says:**  
> “I’m not here to convince you to follow me. I ask you to follow the Dharma.”

Siddhartha was already a Yoga master.

A student asked, “How come after 30 years, I haven’t yet reached a high level?”

**Buddha replied:**  
Live in no beginning, no end.  
Be present.  
Breathe.  
Let blood flow.  
Keep centre line posture nonstop.  
Be aware intention nonstop.  
Body awareness and motion—this is Taiji.  
Slow down.  
Be aware of gravity.  
No “I” in training.

The Buddha sits, walks, moves with no tension.  
Harmony in walking, lying down—his posture is beautiful.  
He lives in this state.  
Aware of all that is going on.

You students have learned from the mind—  
Language, mental logic games—  
But you don’t *live* in it.

> **You may have a map, but you never travel.**

You can’t just “be aware” of all this—you need a **system**.  
Dharma has many systems.

---

### **Training Systems**

**Introduction:**  
Dharma is training in every present moment.  
Your full life force becomes available.  
Enjoy the practice.

---

### **Breathing Systems**

- Dragon Breath

---

### **Healing Systems**

- Tui Na
- Needling
- Stretching / Yoga
- Massage

---

### **Training**

- **Tong Zi Gong** – from childhood, flexible training
- **Greatest Yoga: Qian Kun / Yi Jin Jing** – ligaments stay flexible and strong
- **Xi Sui Jing** – Bone marrow washing; high-level quality
- **Golden Bell (Jin Zhong Zhao)** – Concentration becomes hard power

---

### **Origins – Ancient Kung Fu Legends**

- **Qian Kun vs. Taiji**
  - Qian Kun = Universal opposing force. It would break humans.
    - Heaven = Big Bang (creates universe)
    - Earth = Black Hole (destroys universe)
  - Both are Daoist energy-god systems for martial training.
- **Origins:**
  - Qian Kun – From Fuxi
  - Taiji – From Zhang San Feng
  - Taiji symbol – from Fuxi
  - Qian Kun – Brings power from Heaven to Earth through 7 chakras
  - Taiji – Starts from the foot, moves upward, opens consciousness outward
  - From god to human becomes Taiji

---

### **What’s the Difference?**

- **Yi Jin Jing** – Extreme flexibility and strength
  - Flow into pose
  - Stretch, open to release energy
  - Rotation = functional muscle development
- **Taiji** – Flow with energy to open

---

### **Combined Centre Training**

Three types of “core”:

1. **Yi Jin Jing** – Tendon and muscle create centre
2. **Taiji** – Energy laser line (weaker unless used explosively)
3. **Bone Core (Duan Gu)** – Shaolin style, neck stacked

> The highest skill: **Be aware of all three** 
> **as the Buddhist centre** is above all of this

---

**Those students who reach a very high level have mastered all of this.**
### The City of Illusion - Huà Chéng
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/city-of-illusion-hua-cheng/
Last updated: 2025-06-01T13:21:41.000Z
### 📜 化城 (Huà Chéng) – *The City of Illusion / Transformation City*

### 

**Creation**

> What is life about?  
> What *is* it really about?

Life is an illusion.  
Don’t let it control you — it’s empty.  
So why be afraid of it?

The heart creates it blindly.  
Don’t follow it.

化城 is the “temple” humans reach before they are ready for the Pure Land.  
To enter, the highest style of meditation is needed.

化城 (Huà Chéng) = *City of Transformation / Illusion*  
Created by Buddha and Bodhisattvas through will, meditation, intuition, and force.  
化城 is a symbolic teaching from the *Lotus Sutra* (《法華經》).

It represents a school where we purify the heart to reach the Bodhisattva level — to become Buddhas.

> **Q:** Aren’t all cities an illusion?  
> **A:** Yes.  
> But human cities are cities of blind illusion — suffering, ego, striving, and never feeling content. 化城 is different.   
> It’s a *wise* illusion — one that helps us awaken.

---

### 🧘‍♂️ The Parable from the *Lotus Sutra*

The Buddha tells a story:

A guide leads a group of weary travellers through a long and dangerous journey toward a treasure city.

Along the way, the group becomes tired and wants to turn back.

To encourage them, the guide creates a magical city — 化城 — a “rest stop” where they can recover.

Once they are rested and ready, the guide makes the city vanish, revealing it was an illusion…  
and that the *real* treasure city still lies ahead.

---

### **Spiritual Meaning**

化城 is not the final goal.

It’s a **provisional teaching** — a **temporary attainment**, a method to help us keep going (*方便* / *skilful means*).

In Mahāyāna Buddhism, this explains why the Buddha taught many paths:  
Śrāvaka, Pratyekabuddha, Pure Land — all steps toward the final destination.

That destination is full Buddhahood.  
The *true* treasure city.

---

### **In the Context of Pure Land Practice**

Some traditions interpret the Pure Land itself — or even lesser heavens like Trāyastriṃśa Heaven — as a kind of 化城.

Not the end goal.

But a **staging ground**, a place to train in better conditions until we are ready for full enlightenment.
### How Does Appreciation Heart Stop Bad Karma?
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/how-does-appreciation-heart-stop-bad-karma/
Last updated: 2025-06-01T13:22:07.000Z
Physical practice: open your hand, open your heart, create a lotus. Develop sensitivity and awareness in your body.

Appreciation Heart takes us out of greed. This is because we stop searching. We return to observation.

Our greedy habit means we never enjoy the present. We always want something new, something more in the future. Or we’re thinking about the past.

All this *good karma* and *bad karma*—these are twins that both lead to *hell karma*.

When the heart is in the past or the future, it’s never in the present. And our essence—*the dharma joy*—is only ever in the present.

So we must change our habit from *not appreciating* to having a *habit of appreciation*.

This will change the habit from being greedy, to being free from greed.

> Sifu says we should practice Appreciation Heart, not always be lazy and greedy for more.

Then we can appreciate the chance to learn Amitabha Buddha’s system. We can appreciate the chance that there is wisdom to learn. We can appreciate our karma. We can appreciate Amitabha Buddha’s kindness for creating a system for us to learn in.

In regular life, we can go out to nature and observe the four elements. We can train our body with Tai Chi, appreciate being sensitive, aware of the energy, the space, the philosophy, the function of the moves, how to create a strong centre.

We work hard on our job, but we should also work hard on training ourselves, learning Buddhist philosophy, and being generous.

We can practice appreciating our karma. Family karma is our biggest test. We must respect family, but not blindly follow, not get lost.

Appreciation will help us develop tolerance.

There are things we can change this lifetime and things we cannot. Some that are easy and some that are not. We can change habits into being aware of more Dharma.

Instead of just lying down relaxing—lie down listening to mantras.  
Instead of just sitting—sit with acupuncture needles.  
If we’re relaxing, we can be stretching.

Appreciate the chance there is always more to be aware of.

Tai Chi—we cannot develop if we are lazy.

> Sifu says: *I love Tai Chi. It creates a joyful feeling in my body when I do it. I’m aware of the energy, the space, the philosophy. I’m observing elements. All the information in one moment—the heart is now free and joyful. To feel this incredibly sensitive awareness—I’m into creation of Wuji.*
### Training Guān Xiǎng 观想 Ability
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/training-guan-xiang--e8-a7-82-e6-83-b3-ability/
Last updated: 2025-06-01T13:23:02.000Z
**Guān Xiang (观想)**

Guan = Observing  
Xiang = Thinking  
Original principle: toward **meditation ability**.

---

## **Sifu's Explanation**

- Many times I see joyful lotus in the joint—I can already see the energy run inside my body.
- When I see a flower blooming, it gives a light and delicate feeling—I love that.
- Through looking at a flower, I can become aware and imagine that feeling in my body.
- I have good sense of our body Taiji to do this.

### Wisdom in 4 Areas:

- **Muscle** – Functional muscle development
- **Tendon** – Feel tendon stretching and opening (Yi Jin Jing is not just motion)
- **Duan Gu** – Awareness of the bones, spine, and neck alignment
- **Energy** – Mixing awareness raises the level of perception
- Awakening means becoming aware of more.
- Imagination and thinking (6th consciousness) can block subconsciousness.
- So instead of imagining, I can really feel the joint area, muscle, ligament, and energy.
- Eventually, subconscious training leads directly to intuitive sensing.

---

## **How to Read Philosophy Like Sifu**

- Clean out human moodiness, ego, doubt—anything not neutral or heavy.
- Read philosophy or sing mantra.
- Not just repeating the words or judging them quickly.

**How to do it:**

- Take it slow.
- Feel the intention of the consciousness behind the text.
- Why this word? Why this order?
- Philosophy = Fewest words possible, deep system and life meaning.
- Sense what kind of being wrote it.
- What awareness have they developed?
- What stage of being are they?
- Why must life be this way?

Then, feeling becomes real—awareness awakens in the present.  
Laugh — touch the heart.  
Awakening begins with “Ahhhhh!” 🙂

**Example:**

- Observing self. Being aware of how he lives.

**Summary:**

- United discipline of senses into no-I.
- Then senses become pure and open.

---

## **Guan Xiang and 3 Energy Training**

- In Tai Chi, laser-line = straight spine.
- But two other lines run alongside it.
- To open the 7 chakras, all 3 lines must be open.
- Guān Xiang needs **reality** to practice.
- Real karma = action.
- Otherwise, like a seed not yet planted—only potential.
- Subconscious is like **art**, intuition.

---

## **Exercise – Practice Observing Your Feeling and Turn It Into Words**

- A wisdom development method from Buddhist philosophy class.
- Helps develop intelligence.
- Practice describing feelings and their origins.
- The quicker you can convert feelings into language, the closer you are to Guan Xiang ability.
- Make feeling into language, and language into feeling.
- This will help in reading Buddhist philosophy.

---

## **Example Practicing Guān Xiang**

- I watched the video.
- I enjoyed watching the video (why?).

**Watching a video where a Buddha made of stars appeared behind the Alps gave me a feeling of:**

- **Amazement and awe** – Seeing that force in action.
- **Wonder** – The non-human presence made me feel there is more to life.
- **Inspiration** – If that power exists, I can also develop it.
- **Humility** – Compared to that being, my self-importance shrinks in a healthy way.
- **Touched** – By the phrasing of the philosophical message.

*From Blindness to Awakening 😄☸*

**Where did this class come from?**  
A Sifu Dharma Chat with Sean – Free 🙏

---

### **Step 0 (Before the 5 Levels): Conditioning**

- Tension-free
- Foot toes, ball spring point – rolling
- Air foot, charge foot

---

### **1\. Wise Choice = Capability for Learning**

- One is a choice.
- Releasing tension is always a good direction.
- Wise choice begins the possibility of learning Dharma.

---

### **2\. Developing Dharma Ability = A New Path Out of Reincarnation**

- Two: Learn something.
- Get rid of “I”! Practice Taiji.
- Go to nature, reduce the sense of self.
- This starts the new path out of blind karma cycles.

---

### **3\. United with Tao = One with the Universe. Final Goal in the Perfect Present**

- “United” means it was once separate.
- Three: Aware of some Dharma, understanding how this universe works.
- This universe exists in the present.
- The universe *runs* in the present—it doesn’t go anywhere.
- It is Dharma itself as a living presence, helping every life search for the future.
- That’s why Daoism teaches **Wu Wei**.

**The Universe acts as Dharma** — it moves in four phases:

- Appear
- Develop
- Destroy
- Disappear (Reincarnation)

This is the highest level of Daoist understanding.

---

### **4\. Dharma Self-Being = Unlimited, Eternal Dharma as Your Own Being**

- Start training that way.
- No more “uniting”—your being directly follows Dharma.
- You become the centre, influencing everything around you.
- Bad karma can no longer control or influence you.

---

### **5\. Dharma Free Will Creation = Create Pure Land, Become Buddha**

- Help others break free from blind karma.
- Through Taiji – becoming more delicate, timeless, and sensitive.
- Help others find the **Wu Wei zone**.
- No more hurrying in the blind human zone.
- Harmony with extreme power.

**The power already exists.**  
You just need to be aware of it—**not** create it.  
Taiji is already everywhere.
### The 3 C’s of Going to the Pure Land
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/the-3-cs-of-going-to-the-pure-land/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:16:34.000Z
*A teaching on causation and intention in Pure Land Buddhism.*

There’s a difference between imagining a Pure Land and entering one.

This is not about creating your own paradise. It’s about aligning your life with the conditions to be reborn in Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land.

According to the teaching we received in class, the pathway to Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land rests on three inner causes. They’re simple. But not easy.

**The 3 C’s:**

### 1\. **Choice**

You have to choose — but not just vaguely wish. You must make a *wise* choice.  
This alone starts to change your karma. It tilts your trajectory.  
But it’s still just the seed. It’s like standing at a crossroads and *finally* turning toward the right mountain.  
You’re not climbing it yet. But you’ve chosen the path.

> This is the beginning of intention.

### 2\. **Creation**

The moment you start shaping your life around that choice, it becomes real.  
Your intention begins to harden into karma.  
Your speech, your practice, your thoughts — they begin to build the causes.  
You’re no longer waiting for the right conditions. You’re *generating* them.

This step is where many fall short.  
They have the wish but not the creation.  
They chant but don’t change.  
They ask for entry without taking a single step toward the gate.

### 3\. **Capability**

Once karma is shaped, capability appears.  
It's not about earning your way to the Pure Land.  
It's about becoming the type of being that *can go*.  
With the karma in place, your path opens.  
Not metaphorically — but in real rebirth.  
When your last breath comes, you’re carried across by the causes you’ve built.

> Wish alone won’t get you there.  
> Karma creates the capability.

---

We don’t talk enough about *creating* our causes.

Too many people think Buddhism is about waiting.  
Waiting to become good enough.  
Waiting to understand more.  
Waiting for karma to ripen.

But Pure Land Dharma flips that.

It says: *Start now. Choose. Create. Build capability.*  
Because the door opens the moment your karma aligns with it.
### The Blind Turtle and the Pure Land

Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:17:02.000Z
*On rare chances—and what you do with them.*

There’s a story from the Buddha that cuts deep—especially for those of us who think in probabilities.

> Imagine the ocean.  
> Not poetic—just vast. Deep. No bottom in sight. Now picture a single wooden ring floating on the surface. Just drifting. One ring, whole planet.  
> And somewhere in that ocean, there’s a turtle. But it’s blind. Can’t see the ring. Doesn’t even know it’s there.  
> It surfaces once every hundred years for air.  
> **What are the odds that turtle comes up and puts its head through the ring?**

That’s the metaphor the Buddha used to show how rare it is to be born human.  
Then he added: even rarer to hear a true teaching.

Pure Land Buddhism takes it one step further.  
Hearing Amitabha’s name—that’s the ring.  
We’ve surfaced. We’ve heard it.

In martial arts, we talk about timing. Openings.  
A good fighter doesn’t waste motion.  
When a gap appears—one breath, one shift—we move.  
That’s the mindset. Not forcing, not waiting—just clear.

This isn’t about luck.  
It’s about awareness.  
A moment shows up. Do we see it? Do we move?

We’re not blind turtles.  
We’re here. Alive. Breathing. Aware.

So the question is:  
**What are we doing with that?**

---

Here’s the original **Pāli Canon version** from the *Samyutta Nikāya* (SN 56.48), as spoken by **Siddhartha Gautama (Shakyamuni Buddha)**:

> “Suppose, monks, a blind turtle were to come up to the surface once every hundred years in the great ocean. There were a single yoke floating on the surface, tossed by the wind and waves. What do you think—would that blind turtle ever put its neck through that yoke?”  
>  
> The monks replied, “It would be extremely rare, Lord.”  
>  
> And the Buddha said, “Just so, monks, is the chance of being born as a human being. Just so rare is it to encounter the Dharma.”

- **Amitabha Sutra** – Short, sharp, foundational Pure Land text

  - *River of Fire, River of Water* – Taitetsu Unno
  - *The Promise of Amida Buddha* – Hisao Inagaki

This isn’t religion. It’s recognition.  
And recognition is half the path.

### Why is Life Incredible?
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/why-is-life-incredible/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:18:55.000Z
**Sifu:** Why is life incredible?

**GD:** Constantly changing, never repeating. Illusion itself is incredible—able to shift endlessly, never the same, always new. Comes from others, so it’s empty—and yet it appears. Like fire from air: complete magic, but consistent enough to seem real. That’s already crazy.

**Sifu:** It’s not real, but consistent enough to feel real. Okay, incredible. What else?

**GD:** Essence is empty. Yet every life is aware of this illusion. That awareness has no form—what even *is* that? No form, yet aware of form that’s constantly changing and causally built so each being experiences it their own way. Humans, bees, ants—all perceive differently in the same space.

**Sifu:** Same moment—every life, aware differently.

**GD:** And each perceives based on their frequency—like sound or color ranges. A dog might go crazy from a sound we don’t even hear.

**Sifu:** So in the same space, we’re in totally different dimensions. Unlimited.

**GD:** Like radio waves—everywhere, but only picked up by a tuned receiver.

**Sifu:** And that’s just *one* frequency. There are unlimited.

**GD:** Phones, satellites, data everywhere—pure frequency chaos, but tuned and received. That power to let us be aware in *unlimited* ways is incredible.

**GD:** And then Dharma organises it all into three eternal truths. All this infinite power made clear in a short system.

**Sifu:** That’s Dharma wisdom—short words for boundless meaning. Dharma can describe all this magic clearly and simply. That’s incredible.

**GD:** And it’s not random. It follows causation. If it were random, nothing would make sense. No system. No awareness.

**Sifu:** No change, no life. Awareness requires causation—not randomness. That’s incredible.

**GD:** Yet, from inside, it *can* seem random.

**Sifu:** Blind ego makes it seem that way.

**GD:** Or from limited view. If you only see one part of the picture, you're trapped in that angle.

**Sifu:** With wisdom, randomness disappears. There is always causation.

**GD:** Yes.

**Sifu:** But blind consciousness mistakes it for chaos. So: unlimited change, but never random—that’s incredible.

**GD:** Yeah, crazy incredible.

**Sifu:** What else is incredible?

**GD:** You can feel another life. Even though you're separate, you sense the other’s essence. That’s wild.

**Sifu:** Separate but aware of each other. Same essence = connection. Different = awareness. Has to be this way.

**GD:** Otherwise, no connection. Maybe not even *space* as we know it.

**Sifu:** No awareness, no life. Even animals feel fear—because they sense the other. But in the end, same essence—no form.

**GD:** And how can something with no form be *separate* from anything?

**Sifu:** Exactly—no form can’t be divided. Yet through temporary form, we feel separate.

**GD:** Like Buddha and Bodhisattva—they’re aware of every life.

**Sifu:** Because they share the same essence with all. And we can develop that, too.

**GD:** Though in levels. Too much info would overwhelm us—imagine sensing all suffering in hell.

**Sifu:** Oh no, we can’t even handle ourselves!

**GD:** Exactly—we struggle with our own small nonsense. Total awareness would break us.

**Sifu:** Heart has to be empty, no “I.”

**GD:** So life lets us be aware only in a way we can handle.

**Sifu:** That’s deeply kind—this gradual protection.

**GD:** Yeah. Or just inherently incredible. I don’t know if it’s from our own heart or what.

**Sifu:** Then Buddha’s and Bodhisattva’s heart—aware of all—is truly incredible. And the way they help: no ego, just Dharma. Teaching, guiding, with no force. Even how we *receive* it is an illusion, yet incredible.

**GD:** Like how I’m hearing philosophy from you, translated from ancient Chinese. A book most people today can’t even understand. From Siddhartha—across time, across cultures. The kindness and protection that kept this wisdom alive—that’s beyond incredible.

**Sifu:** Especially in such a brutal, greedy world.

**GD:** Exactly.

**Sifu:** And still, this wisdom remained pure.

**GD:** Yep.

**Sifu:** That was a deep, deep, incredible layer of understanding.

How to Become Amitabha Buddha’s Student in This Lifetime

1. **Observe the self through Dharma** – Become aware that the “causation ‘I’” and “all other life forms” are illusions, not our true Dharma Self. The true heart has no beginning and no end, is always pure, and exists beyond form, space, and time.
2. **Recognize the incredible nature of Amitabha’s Pure Land system** – Realize how fortunate we are to learn it. Open your heart to appreciate his kindness, his 48 vows, and sincerely bow and ask him to guide you to become his student.

At that moment, you are his student.  
You have shifted from the false causation character to the Dharma character—Amitabha’s Pure Land student.

### Definition of Blindness: Acting or Reacting Based on Our Feelings

Definition of Blindness: Acting or Reacting Based on our Feelings.

This is the “causation I” — the ego self driven by feeling. That is literal blindness.

Every act or reaction that arises from it creates effects that are also blind — and this is the trick of reincarnation.

Use wisdom to observe and change your life.

Otherwise, suffering will repeat in a cycle. ⭕️

If we are not willing to change our blind, reactive self, then nothing will change. Same blindness, same suffering — just in different situations. 😊🙏☸️☯️🐉💚

---

### 🔹 Opening Reflection: What is Dharma?

- Dharma teaches eternal wisdom and acts as a practical guide for life.
- Dharma is true in all time, space, for every life form and situation.
- Dharma cannot be pulled apart or made “more complete.” It is already complete from every angle.
- If you only analyse Dharma trying to “make it perfect,” you miss the point—it’s already perfect.

---

### 🔹 Example: Human Wisdom vs. Dharma

- Einstein quote: *“The purpose of life is to help others.”*
- But:
  - What is life?
  - What kind of help?
  - Who are “others”? Some people are doing harm—should we help them too?
- Human wisdom is not complete—you can always add or subtract from it.
- Dharma, by contrast, cannot be broken down or debated in the same way. It always remains whole.

---

### 🔹 On Human Teachers

- Every teacher has limitations (unless Buddha-level).
- “Convenient wisdom” = wisdom adjusted to human awareness or capability.
- More convenient = when wisdom is matched to someone’s individual motivation and situation.

---

### 🔹 Exercises

**1\. What is life?**

- Explore the definition in context of Dharma.

**2\. When you hear something:**

- Observe it deeply.
- Try to break its logic.
- See if it can be made more complete.

---

### 🔹 Closing Appreciation

- Say thanks to those who brought Dharma into your life.
### Sifu Talks About Spontaneous Insight
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/sifu-talks-about-spontaneous-insight/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:23:41.000Z
**Spontaneous Insight and the Power to See Many Angles**

> “When you understand life, you will develop the same ability as me — spontaneous. That ability is not knowledge. It came from spending my whole life truly curious about what life is. I didn’t waste life on personal issues, always being moody or emotional, going nowhere, playing games that end in suffering. Many people realize too late that they haven’t developed or learned anything — they’ve spent their whole life escaping life.”  
> \-Sifu

Instead, enjoy sharing emotion, sharing desire, the passion of life. Enjoy life as the key point — but without personal possessiveness.

Enjoy something, then let it go. Find something else to enjoy, then let that go. With all that energy of enjoyment, observe life. That’s how you develop the ability to see through people.

They say one word — and *bang* — you see many angles.

Their behaviour, their attitude, their intention. You can explain their body language, why they moved their hand that way, why their expression looks like that. From there, I choose which “game” I want to play based on how they present themselves. I act differently with each person. The purpose of this is the same — like a waterman — to bring people out of blind, lost games. To help them experience the philosophy that I’ve already lived and benefited from.

---

**The Trap of “I” and “My”**

In your normal life, it’s just a cycle of repeating “I” and “my.” But that “I” and “my” isn’t even true. Why not? Because it’s always changing. The ego is the result — created by blind causation.

When Buddha became enlightened, he said it clearly: **Buddhism teaches causation**. What looks concrete is actually abstract. All knowledge leads to the understanding of causation. One path creates a true spiritual “I”; the other creates a temporary illusion “I.”

---

**One Heart, Two Gates: The Four Causes**

There is one heart, two gates. Causation is created by four causes:

1. **Your intention** — the main cause
2. **Main supporting causes (people and situation)** — those who help or influence you
3. **Timing** — the right moment
4. **All other direct and indirect causes**

Your temporary “I,” your feelings, your ego — all come from this mix.

There’s no truth in them. If you let these forces control you without understanding your feelings, of course you’ll feel lost and afraid. There is nothing eternal there.

People waste their energy on this. I chose to use my energy to understand the **non-causation I**. That’s how my wisdom developed and my heart became free.

---

**How to Know If You Understand**

- If you can give one example, you understand a little.
- If you can give many examples, you understand more.
- If you can speak from many angles, then you really get it.
- And if you can live that understanding — you’re truly living it.

**That’s how I built my wisdom.**

So when you observe deeply, **wisdom is not knowledge — it is ability**.

---

**Why Were You Born in This Life?**

You are the main subject of your life. Everyone is their own main intention. You wanted to be born here. You selected your parents — that can happen. From karma in your last life, you kindly chose this.

It may take many attempts to be born, but one time it works. Sometimes people are born sick or unhealthy — even that is part of it.

---

**Heart Sutra and the Five Developments**

The Heart Sutra helps you develop wisdom by observing the five developments.

What are they? And why are they empty?

**1\. Illusion (Being/Form)**

- Whatever you’re aware of — all appearances — are forms.
- Without *empty space*, these forms cannot be discussed.
- The five elements are: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Empty Space.

**2\. Receiving (Sensation)**

- Consciousness uses the six senses to absorb information from the body and the surrounding environment.
- DNA twists two times to process this.

**3\. Thinking (Perception/Formation)**

- The consciousness stores what it absorbs, processes it, analyzes what it receives.
- It organizes reasons for doing things later.
- That leads to intention — the purpose behind your action.
- **Intention is always the answer to: why?**

**4\. Action/Reaction (Volition)**

- My action follows what I calculated from what I’m aware of.
- The result of thinking always leads to either action or passivity.
- **Action**: I decide to do something.
- **Passivity**: I decide to wait.
- Most people live by feeling.
- How do you know? You feel it. No feeling — no existence.

If you have ever blacked out you know you have done this. You feel you are missing something. So your consciousness was there the whole time.

Feeling becomes more clear when you analyse where it comes from. Then it becomes awareness. If you can’t explain it, the feeling stays at the level of instinct, without the logic of thinking.

**5\. Awareness**

- What is awareness?
- It’s the result of the first four developments coming together.
- Buddhism encourages us to awaken from blindness by becoming aware.

## Awakened consciousness sees all things with a complete view

Everything is **One** — and that **One** is **Empty.**

**Life** is *an illusion*, and that illusion is **empty**.

---

### Three Views of Life:

1. **Life** is made up of unlimited causations — it appears as “everything.”
2. All causations are just the same — *an illusion*.
3. Illusion arises from causation, which means it comes from conditions outside itself.  
It has **no true individual self**, and is therefore truly **empty**.

---

### These three angles reveal **One Eternal Truth**

From this **One Eternal True Dharma**,  
Every life — our **true heart** — has the power to create  
**One unlimited, illusory, empty dream**:

### **One heart, two directions:**

A **pure heart** (empty) can give rise to:

🌫️ *One unlimited blind dream of suffering and reincarnation*, or  
🌸 *One unlimited joyful dream of awakening — the Dharma Pure Land*.

*Friday Amitabha Class Summary*

Today we learned more deeply about:  
**“Causation I” and the two types of “Dharma I” in the Pure Land.**

---

**Causation I**  
\= Arises from causes and conditions, but has no individual self.  
It may appear as real, yet it is ultimately empty — an illusion.

Does GREEN coloured paint exist?

It comes from mixing BLUE paint and YELLOW paint together.

We see it as GREEN but really GREEN comes from others.

In the same way our CAUSATION-I comes from others.

**Amitabha’s Pure Land – Two Types of Dharma I:**

2. **Nārāyaṇa** Body – Unbreakable, unthinkable, incredible:

### Appreciation Heart - A Short Post
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/appreciation-heart/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:28:08.000Z
In Buddhist philosophy, there is a class where they talk about appreciation.

> A student asks, *“How can I appreciate when everything in my life has gone wrong?”*

The student proceeds to explain a terrible circumstance: lost his business, lost his partner, his kids won’t speak to him, went bankrupt, lives on the street.

> He says, *“It’s easy for everyone else to appreciate, but I cannot.”*

The teacher says to him, “There is always a way to practice appreciation. But it takes practice.”

- Appreciate that you **have a free moment** right now to practice appreciation.
- Appreciate that you **have enough skill and karma** to have learned a language, to know what the word ‘appreciate’ means.
- Appreciate that you are right now **benefiting from others' kindness**. They are trying to help you develop the skill called appreciation.
- Appreciate the kindness you have shown to yourself **through your discipline** — to learn philosophy.
- Appreciate **there is philosophy we can learn**. And someone took the time to write it down and teach it to others so they could benefit.
- Appreciation is a seed, and if we take care of it, it can grow. Appreciate **you are taking care of that seed in your heart**.
- The feeling of appreciation is a wonderful feeling we can access in our heart anytime. But most of us need a reminder to practice. Appreciate you **have a heart** that can create these incredible feelings unlimitedly.
- Appreciate that **Dharma, the system of life, is patient** — to allow us again and again to forget to appreciate, and again and again, learn.
- Appreciate that we **have this observing ability** we can focus to develop more and more awareness of our life.
- Appreciate that life as illusion is a perfect system — **allowing us to experience life** unlimitedly and develop wisdom and compassion.
- We can observe how shallow our appreciation is when we only do it from our mind. We can practice to appreciate deeply from our hearts. Then a deep content feeling will grow and grow. **Appreciate there is no material in any universe which can match this level of joy.**
- Appreciate that no matter how much suffering we experience in life, **it will all keep changing as an illusion**. The function of all of it is to help us awaken, become a Buddha.
- Appreciate that **our essence is already equal to all the incredible Buddhas and Bodhisattvas** waiting inside for us. Who teaches this? The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do. We can appreciate **we are born in a universe where their wisdom is still taught**.
- Appreciate **we can become Buddha and help unlimited others also to become Buddha**.

Appreciation is a way to open our Buddhahood.

### Sifu's Meditation Technique to Connect to Amitabha Buddha
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/meditation-technique-amitabha-buddha/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:28:41.000Z
> *From Sifu:*  
>  
> “Now, I want to expand on the meditation technique to reaching Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land.  
>  
> Sometimes when I do this method, it works immediately — so quickly, so deeply — but it’s also not easy to do.  
>  
> The philosophy behind this practice is that our true nature is not this body, nor the world surrounding us. But because we are already so deeply connected to illusion, we’ve forgotten that truth.  
>  
> So the method teaches:   
>  
> **Become aware that your awareness is separate from illusion.**

> When you separate from illusion, a sense of emptiness arises. You realize all illusion is empty. But we don’t experience it as empty — because our heart is still grasping. It’s like a monkey holding a banana — we can’t let go, so we can’t be empty.  
>  
> If we open our hands, we can release the illusion. But we don’t — because of habitual clinging. So we make what is naturally empty, **seem solid**.  
>  
> Illusion is empty because it arises from causes and conditions — it doesn’t exist on its own.  
>  
> So the practice is to **observe deeply** and realize: whatever you’re aware of is illusion. All illusions — no matter what form — **come from and end in, emptiness**.  
>  
> Before it arises, it’s empty. When it ends, it returns to emptiness. So even while it appears, it’s already empty.  
>  
> When you see this, you begin to free yourself from connection. You loosen the attachment to the body, to thoughts, to identity.  
>  
> But even then, there’s a subtle clinging — the idea that “emptiness” itself is something to hold onto.  
>  
> The next step is to **empty even the concept of emptiness** — and then, what’s left is truly formless.  
>  
> That’s when I began to feel I wasn’t this human “I” anymore. The sense of “I” — the ego — started dissolving. The “I” disappeared. The world of light and form also began to fade.  
>  
> At that moment, there was no intention — not even the thought “I want to reach the Pure Land.” There was only emptiness, purity, peace.  
>  
> When this “I” is gone, everything connected to “I” disappears. And **your pure essence** appears.  
>  
> It’s light, joy, freedom. Everything — even the Buddha smile — dissolves into this radiance.  
>  
> In that moment, if you sincerely call upon **Amitabha Buddha**, it is the purest calling possible. There is no other intention. No split heart. All blind-karmic illusions vanish.  
>  
> That’s the moment of **sincere connection**. You return to your pure essence, and from that essence, joyfully choose to go to the Pure Land.  
>  
> If you maintain this will — from your heart — Amitabha’s vow responds. That’s the **Double Will**: your pure heart + Amitabha’s infinite vow.  
>  
> And when those two align — you will be received into the Pure Land.  
>  
> Your Buddha nature shines through.”

### Amitabha Buddha Meditation
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/amitabha-buddha-meditation/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:32:45.000Z
Joyful sound, hmm.  
Sound — you hear sound. No sound — you hear silence.  
**Ability to be aware — always there. Eternal, never changes.**

Observing Self Being Bodhisattva, aware of everything. The highest consciousness observes the sound.  
Observe: Buddhahood is not the sound, not the silence, not good, not bad, not brightness or darkness.  
**The ability to be aware of all. That’s Buddhahood.**

Buddha is the ability to remain aware of Buddhahood and help everyone become aware.  
Great Force Bodhisattva observes all six senses to be aware of our essence, instead of using them to be lost in external information.  
**Purify your senses — then you are already in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land.**

Aware the essence is not thinking. It’s the power behind thinking.  
It’s like a boat that helps you get to the other side — you have to let go of the boat.  
You would not carry the boat along the road with you?

Listen — the listening ability, not listening to the information, sound, or silence.  
Who is listening?  
**That’s the essence — not what you hear.**

Not aware of the essence is like a blind man trying to clean the place — bumps into everything and can’t see the dust.  
**Aware of the essence is like cleaning with the lights on — can clean out all the dust.**  
Out of the essence, lost in the six sense information.  
**Back to essence — the bright wisdom of Dharma shines everywhere.**

If your heart doesn’t take this with possessive blindness, then your heart in this lifetime can experience internal Pure Land, even in this world.

**What is Buddhahood?**

- Never hold. Hold nothing, and nothing can be held — remain pure.
- Blindness force makes us always lost in blindness, searching heart.
- That is the bad emperor. We have to bring back the good emperor: Hold nothing.

Our essence, when it’s open, is bigger than any space or the universe.  
When it’s shrunken, there is nothing smaller or more detailed — smaller than any atom, smaller than empty space.

If you create positive, joyful energy, then you spread this everywhere.  
Create negative energy — you also spread this everywhere as well.  
**One Heart, 2 Gates. Which gate will you choose? The blind gate or the awakened gate?**

Once we are aware of our essence, we will still be lost in our blind ‘I and mine.’  
One side has to be aware of not being lost in the blindness.  
Other side has to be aware of the essence.  
**Once aware of both sides, this is back to pureness.**

---

**Five types of pollution make us not aware of our essence:**

1. Greedy for money
2. Possessive for materials
3. Crazy for fame
4. Greedy for food
5. Lazy for sleeping

The trick of greed is — you think you will get something and then you will be happy.  
But you get it, and you just want more. You’re just lost in the greedy power.

Someone jumps from a building. When they jump, they feel regret.  
**The Buddhahood regrets — that they didn’t develop.**

Have a big bed — if your heart is restless, you will not sleep.  
Have a small bed, and your heart is peaceful — you will sleep deeply.  
So it’s not about the materials — it’s about a pure heart to enjoy.

When people say they are good, doesn’t mean they are good.  
When people say they are bad, doesn’t mean they are bad.  
That is their illusion.

No coming or going.  
Coming is searching.  
Going is possessive.  
Not coming, not going — nothing to bother you.  
Possessive and searching creates all the troubles and worry.

---

**Observing Self-Being**  
Observing for blind self being.  
Observing for our self being — and aware we still have a lot of blindness.  
**Observing power is the self-being — so no need to observe anymore.**

After that, realize: self is a combination. No true individual self.  
Then aware — everything is all just being together, which is all causation, united as illusion.  
Because it’s illusion — then being is non-being. So even being, disappears.  
**Once being disappears — then back to pure empty.**

Some people do meditation very concentrated to purify themselves.  
But in normal life — don’t try to purify. In normal life, you have to train as the main cause.  
Meditation is a short time. Regular life is a lot of time.  
**So training in regular life will create the greatest force.**

Speaking more calmly is the quickest way to avoid making a mistake.  
When bad intention appears — put a zipper to your mouth.  
**Or it will create bad karma so quick — faster than any action takes.**

Trying hard to purify blocks your power.  
**Directly aware — life is illusion and essence is pure.**

Amitabha Buddha wants to take away suffering and provide unlimited joy.  
If we want to get rid of suffering and receive unlimited joy, then the double-will matches (his will and our will together).

In philosophy class, you just practice and train.  
If you can’t bring the philosophy into your normal life, then your training hasn’t graduated.  
**It never becomes a lifestyle.**

When you fail a test — it’s not to complain, it’s to have appreciation heart to learn more. Humble, curious and patient — these are the causes to develop higher in anything.

Birth and death is just possessive heart to the information.  
When possessive heart can let go, no beginning, no end can appear.

*Respectful Calling*

**Namo** means willing heart toward some type of pure, high spirit.  
Amituofo (Amitabha) is unlimited light, unlimited lifetime.  
**Namo Amituofo / Namo Amitaba Buddha.**

Last updated: 2025-06-02T12:34:55.000Z
### 👁️ Introduction: The Vision and the Eye

At the very beginning of perception, we want to know...

**Who am I? What am I?**

- This represents the awakening of the visual sense and the desire to perceive the world. From this initial impulse, the process of self-awareness begins.
- This class explores the Eight Consciousness Kings—a poetic map of awareness, from the raw senses to the illusion of self and finally to the pure, formless essence within all beings.
- Below we discover how reality forms through layers of perception, and how suffering arises from clinging to a false sense of self. But more than that, you’ll be shown how to return to your original nature, free and clear, with the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Let’s go!

- Observing only through “I and mine” is ego-driven and causes suffering.
- This loop of ego-observing creates suffering and distorts the heart.
- Happiness sought through this fake self is unstable and from others.
- Suffering results from this blind loop. The way out is observing Dharma.
- Observing Dharma awakens the sixth consciousness to see “I and mine” as false.
- We are taught to expand our observation beyond self-centric views.

---

### 🛄️ 2\. The Method of Dharma Observation

**Observing Dharma Procedure:**

- We’re already bound by ego-causation, no need to deepen it.
- Connect to Dharma for a complete life view.
- From this view, ego “I and mine” dissolves—return to essence and create a wiser future.

**Becoming Dharma Procedure:**

- For awakened beings, the Dharma map is visible in all perception.
- At this level, knowledge becomes powerful ability.
- Bodhisattvas use this to help all beings without suffering.

---

### 🌫️ 3\. The Arising of Illusion from Pure Consciousness

**The Five Sense Consciousnesses:**

- Eye (vision)
- Ear (hearing)
- Nose (smell)
- Tongue (taste)
- Body (touch)
- Called “Blind Possession” — pure perception without judgment.
- Like infants, we perceive without ego or naming.
- Subconscious awareness (e.g. healers sensing tension) reflects this stage.
- Judging arises as senses are used more and knowledge increases.
- 5 senses act faster than the brain—instinctive, supporting ego.

---

### 🧠 The Thinking Mind: Language, Memory, and Time

- Sixth consciousness arises with language and memory.
- It processes, labels, and judges perceptions.
- It creates preferences and supports the ego-self.
- Memory and language enable the illusion of time.
- Mind consciousness = thinking, analyzing, judging.

---

### 🪞I-Consciousness: Mo Na and the Dream of Self

- Mo Na creates a fake self—separate from others.
- This ego-self is a dream, never truly existing.
- Brings fear, comparison, and suffering.
- Seventh consciousness = illusion of individuality.
- Like a wave thinking it’s separate from the ocean—we are always water.

---

### ☸️ 8 Consciousness: The True Heart Awakens

- Eighth = Storehouse/Hidden consciousness — true essence.
- Source of karma and all awareness.
- Pure form = Buddha nature, formless and limitless.
- Normally hidden under illusion, but revealed through awakening.
- Even subconscious influences (like gut bacteria) arise from this depth.
- Aware essence = aware the wave is just water. No form = no limits.
- Bodhisattvas see all differences equally—formless consciousness is equal and unlimited.

---

### 🗺️ Summary and Reflection

- The Eight Consciousness Kings are a map from raw sense to awakened essence.
- Suffering arises from sixth and seventh consciousness (thought and ego).
- Liberation comes from realizing the self is an illusion and returning to pure essence.
- Dharma frees us—awareness leads to joy, compassion, and infinite creativity.
- Aware, remember, become the Dharma—this is the intuitive force.
- Amitabha’s Pure Land is the fastest path to awaken.
- Greed and laziness can’t bring joy. Develop a pure, kind heart.

What if true freedom isn’t something you seek but something you create—like a river that doesn’t chase the ocean but simply flows toward it, becoming part of something greater? 🌊

In this post, we’ll explore how Living Dharma is more than a concept—it’s a practice you can choose every moment.

We’ll dive into different forms of Dharma, how to align with it in everyday life, and why it holds the key to true freedom. 🌟

What if freedom comes not from escape but from alignment? Dharma is the perfect system of life, and when we can match it, even for a second, we create a perfect second.

There are rules, but no rulebook. It’s an art form.

### **Dharma as Discipline and Development** 🎨🧘‍♂️

There are unlimited Dharmas.

For example, Taiji, Qigong, Meditation, Philosophy, Mantras, and many other complete systems. These can help us develop our awareness.

Living Dharma means intentionally developing yourself like an artist shaping a masterpiece.

Other tools? Mindfulness, kindness, and practised action.

The outcome? A life naturally in sync with the universe’s flow. Here’s how:

1. **Make Wise Choices** – Every action carries energy. Choose mindfully, and you steer your path wisely. True choice means understanding the cause and effect of every moment.
2. **Keep a Kind Heart** – Compassion is strength, not weakness. A heart rooted in kindness sees clearly and acts wisely.
3. **Grow Yourself** – The world mirrors your heart. As you grow, learn, and wisely improve your character, you move closer to matching Dharma.
4. **Find Natural Balance** – Let life flow instead of resisting it, and suffering dissolves. Harmony and inner peace.
5. **Practice Art & Balance** – Life is an evolving creation. Like a painter blending colours or a musician fine-tuning a melody, you shape your surroundings through balance and practice.
6. **Become Dharma** – Don’t just follow Dharma—become it. Mindfulness leads to practice, and in that, you no longer seek—you are.

---

### **Freedom: Beyond the Cycle of Reincarnation** 🕊️🔄

Freedom doesn’t mean rejecting life but fully embracing it.

Living in balance with Dharma, you step beyond attachment and suffering.

You are already free—can we develop enough wisdom to re-connect to it again and again.

---

### **Live It, Don’t Seek It** 🛤️✨

Dharma isn’t a goal in the future. It is a map for the present.

Align with wise choices, a kind heart, and practice, and you naturally rise above suffering. You are already free.

The only question is: **Will you step into it?**
### Training the Body: Integrating Muscles, Tendons, and Energy

Last updated: 2026-01-21T04:59:17.000Z
### Training the Body: Integrating Muscles, Tendons, and Energy

Our recent class explored a holistic approach to physical and energetic development, focusing on three interconnected aspects: muscles, tendons, and energy (Qi). Here’s a summary of the key points discussed:

**1\. Muscle Training**

- **Objective:** Develop functional strength and proper posture.
- **Method:** Engage in strength training exercises that emphasize correct alignment to rebalance the body and establish a strong centre.

**2\. Tendon Training through Yi Jin Jing**

- **Objective:** Strengthen and enhance the flexibility of tendons.
- **Method:** Practice Yi Jin Jing (易筋经), known as the “Muscle-Tendon Change Classic,” which involves specific movements designed to stretch and rotate the tendons.
  - **Example Exercise:** Extend your palm to feel the energy between your fingers. Rotate your arm outward while turning your head and neck in the opposite direction to achieve a comprehensive stretch from the shoulder through the arm.
  - **Benefits:** These exercises focus on turning and flexing the spine, vertebrae, tendons, and spinal cord through twisting and stretching movements.

**3\. Energy Cultivation through Qi Gong**

- **Objective:** Cultivate and harness Qi (vital energy) to enhance overall vitality.
- **Method:** Engage in Qi Gong practices that focus on developing a light and fast energy flow.
  - **Application in Tai Chi:** Utilize the cultivated Qi to perform Tai Chi movements emphasising pure energy flow, promoting internal harmony and balance.

By systematically training these three systems—muscles, tendons, and energy—we aim to achieve a balanced and integrated development, where improvements in one area support and enhance the others.

### Amitabha Buddha Class Notes

**1\. Longshu’s Journey to the Sky Library**

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/2025/06/1.png)

- A monk named Longshu (translated as Dragon Trees) was a Bodhisattva.
- In deep meditation, Longshu travelled to a sky universe, where he visited a sky library the size of our universe. It contained wisdom on every Buddha and Bodhisattva's path to awakening.
- Siddhartha Buddha accompanied him and allowed Longshu to choose a book to bring back to help humanity.
- Despite the vastness, Siddhartha advised him to take just the first two books—suitable for humans.
- Longshu returned, translated the texts, and began teaching them.

**2\. The Class of Energy Gods and the Nature of Consciousness After Death**

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/2025/06/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-23-at-04.45.34_8b50a170.jpg)

- While in the sky library, Longshu saw a class of energy gods learning from a Buddha.
- One energy god asked about:
  - What happens after death?
  - How does consciousness decide where to go?
  - How does karma work?
- Hell Bodhisattva taught:
  - After death, consciousness remains in a 'ghost' state for about three weeks.
  - It does not realize it has died due to attachment to the body.
  - This state lacks brain consciousness and resembles dizziness or illness.
  - During this phase, the consciousness faces nine tests involving greed, kindness, and ego.
  - These tests help foster regret over bad karma and guide the being toward a better next life.
- A student asked if another system existed.
- The Buddha introduced the **"will system"**:
  - Bowing to Buddhas or Bodhisattvas creates a spiritual seed.
  - This connects the being to that enlightened one after death.
  - Amitabha Buddha’s system offers a direct path to rebirth in the Pure Land.
  - Sincere practice connects the consciousness to signs like Dharma wheels, lotuses, golden lights, or direct visions of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at death.

---

**3\. Siddhartha Buddha’s Story of the Drunken Student**

- Siddhartha shared about a habitual drunkard who attended teachings but acted disrespectfully.
- During a session on Amitabha Buddha, the drunkard listened silently.
- The next day, he fell in a temple and, in that moment, sincerely wished to be reborn in the Pure Land.
- This heartfelt wish planted a spiritual seed, guiding him toward Amitabha’s Pure Land.

### Meditation in Regular Life

Last updated: 2025-06-02T13:17:08.000Z
## Introduction

Meditation is an ability we can develop through practice in regular life.

---

### The Foundation of Meditation, according to the Bodhisattvas

Meditation’s foundation lies in unifying key traits: generosity, discipline, patience, and concentration. When practised together with wisdom, these characteristics form the bedrock of a meaningful meditative practice.

This is known as the [6 Paramitas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%81ramit%C4%81?ref=dropsofdharma.com) (6 Perfections / 6 Bodhisattva Characters)

---

### Awareness of Opposites

Concentrate on being aware of the completely opposite forces in life.

Embrace being lively, wild, free, and calm, yet sharp and tension-free.

In meditation, there is a harmony of extreme contrast (Tai Chi).

---

### Developing a Free Heart

Meditation encourages the development of a free heart—one that releases attachment to ‘I’ and ‘my.’

Sitting down and letting go of the mind’s psychology is a step toward freedom.

---

### Observing Life Without Negativity

Negativity clouds the mind.

Meditation teaches us to stop negative thought patterns and purely observe life, embracing its truth without judgment.

Remember, changing negativity to neutrality is already a positive.

---

### 7 Chakra Meditation

We can use other philosophies like the 7 Chakras to help us understand meditation.

#### 1st Chakra: Desire Meditation

Desire meditation arises when consciousness lets go of the urge to acquire or possess. It’s about being free from attachment. Free to enjoy desire without being controlled by it until it brings suffering to self and others, now or in future.

#### 2nd Chakra: Passion Meditation

Passion meditation balances extreme excitement towards life without ambition or stress.

It fosters a state of joy and enthusiasm that is free from worldly pressures.

#### 3rd Chakra: Physical / Moving Meditation

When harmonious and free of tension, physical movement becomes a form of meditation.

This doesn't mean slow; it means it can be slow or fast, soft or hard, light or heavy, still or moving, etc.

Extreme speed outside needs complete calm inside.

Being present and aware of future potential transforms physical actions into mindful practices, such as Tai Chi.

#### 4th Chakra: Emotion Meditation

Emotion meditation involves opening your heart to feel other lives or philosophies.

It nurtures kindness and care toward others or the choice to remain content, calm, joyful, and free with philosophy.

#### 5th Chakra: Thinking Meditation

Thinking meditation emphasizes purely observing the truth of life, not just calculating what we want.

A joyful heart arises when you are free from judgment and comparison, revealing the incredible power behind the truth of life.

#### 6th Chakra: Intuition Meditation

To transcend thought, calculate with the heart and teach through intuition. Speaking with wisdom arises naturally from this practice.

Calculate by heart and teach through intuition-speaking, wisdom-ability.

Intuition meditation ability is to be free from illusion-I, which can open up being directly aware of other spaces.

#### 7th Chakra: Hidden Consciousness Meditation

*We didn’t discuss this. Mysterious!*

---

### Conclusion

Meditation is a multifaceted journey.

Remember to practice daily to bring joy to your body, mind and spirit.

This poem will help you become wiser every day of your life until you can help every life out of suffering.

# **Wisdom**

Wisdom is to know we have no wisdom.  
Wisdom is to know there is wisdom to learn.  
Wisdom is always to follow wisdom.  
Wisdom is to learn what stupid is.

Wisdom accepts wisdom.  
Wisdom avoids stupidity.  
Wisdom accepts that stupidity can happen, but tries not to repeat the same mistake.

Wisdom doesn't judge good or bad in life,  
But knows clearly what good and bad are.

Wisdom is to think wisely until there's no wise thinking—just being wise naturally.  
Wisdom is not to try to be wise, but to try not to be stupid.

Wisdom is to know what our limitations are and how to break them.  
Wisdom is understanding there are no limitations in true life, and how to discover it.

Wisdom doesn’t come only from thinking.  
It comes from generosity, discipline, patience, concentration, and meditation—all five abilities.

True Wisdom is to be pure.  
Tricky Wisdom tricks you to be wise.  
Pure Wisdom is being kind without ego,  
Being caring without being over-emotional,  
Joy without stupidity, free without greed.

### Diamond wisdom

All appearances are just an illusion.  
Free from any form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma.

See through illusion and hold nothing.

The true essence of dharma has  
no I,  
no human,  
no lifeforms,  
no lifetimes.

No past, present,  
and future hearts to get.

All appearances of dharma are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning.

True Dharma is pure kindness heart. ☸☯🍀💚
### Buddhism has two types: Kindness and Care systems.

Last updated: 2025-06-02T13:20:30.000Z
**Diamond Sutra Song**

Buddhism has two types: *Kindness* and *Care* systems.

- Amitabha Buddha belongs to the kindness style.
- Hell Bodhisattva belongs to the care style—helping people out of hell and suffering karma.
- Siddhartha Buddha also belongs to the care style. That’s why he came to earth.

But all Buddhas have their own Pure Lands with a kind style as well.

If we don’t know life is an illusion, we have no foundation. The *3 Eternal Dharma Truths* give you this foundation. It’s easy to think about but not easy to bring into reality—keep observing it. Like Tai Chi, practice again and again.

Illusion is *one heart, two gates* of possibility: no good, no bad, could be good, could be bad.

Free yourself from the illusion of the blindness gate—body and space. Awaken the heart to always see through illusion, holding onto nothing, like in a dream. Be aware that nothing can be held; then your heart will be free, and you will recognise your true essence.

Be aware: this body and experience are not your essence.

Essence connects to all of this, but essence is not this. Essence has no *I*, no human, no lifeform, no lifetime. Once free from blind creation and illusion, you will realise the essence is not this fake *I*.

Then, life becomes an illusion, and you are free from it. It is really like a dream.

No-*I* means no temporary illusion-blind *I*.

The regular blind *I* has no system. A causation-based *I* can never awaken. True *I* means awakened ability. The only awakened ability is True *I*. It stays with you every lifetime because it has already become you. Not only that, but you can develop it higher and higher each lifetime!

The Tai Chi system and Dharma are both eternal. The Tai Chi system is dynamic, constantly evolving towards perfection. This system can build the Pure Land to stay eternally perfect while changing.

Pure Land doesn’t experience destruction or disappearance. Perfect harmony keeps changing in any way you want. That’s why Tai Chi is so perfect—it gives you a system to adjust perfectly. Everything is perfect and can change from any angle, for self-defence and attack. It’s a real power you can practice for eternity.

Tai Chi is the way to show perfect kindness to yourself. How can you be kind to others if you can’t be kind to yourself?

How to be kind to yourself? Develop wisdom. Awaken your consciousness through a perfect system—Tai Chi! When you are kind to yourself, you will be joyful; then you can share that joy with others. Connect to illusion through harmony, and you can change anything you want.
### The Essence of 1 Heart and 2 Gates
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/the-essence-of-1-heart-and-2-gates/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T13:23:02.000Z
In this week’s Sunday class, we explored profound spiritual concepts that touch upon the essence of life and our journey toward wisdom and enlightenment. The discussion centered around the idea of **"1 Heart" and "2 Gates"**—a powerful framework for understanding our existence, the nature of suffering, and the path to true security.

---

### 1 Heart: The Eternal Essence

At the core of this teaching is the concept of **"1 heart,"** which represents the eternal essence. This essence has no beginning and no end; it is timeless and boundless. It signifies a state of pure security—where there is no fear, no suffering, only unshakable peace. This heart is our true nature, beyond the illusions of the world. Ever-present, it offers refuge even if we are unaware.

In this state of essence, there is nothing to grasp or fear. It is the ultimate source of stability, reminding us that no matter what happens in life, this eternal security is within us, untouched by external events.

---

### 2 Gates: The Paths We Choose

While the heart represents our true, eternal essence, the **"2 gates"** reflect the choices we make in perceiving and experiencing life. Each gate leads us down different paths—but both ultimately return us to wisdom.

#### 1\. The Blind Gate: The Illusion of the Self

The **blind gate** is tied to the illusion of the self—the false "I" we often identify with. Entering this gate leads us into the world of endless causation, karma, and conditioned existence. Here, we're entangled in illusions, desires, and attachments. Security here is elusive, based on unstable external conditions.

In this gate, we experience pain, fear, and confusion, always seeking stability in a world that cannot offer it.

#### 2\. The Awakening Gate: Wisdom and Compassion

The **awakening gate** opens the path to spiritual awakening and contains two key aspects:

- **Part 1: Returning to Essence**  
The first step is awareness of the eternal heart. By recognizing that true security has always been within us, we begin to develop the wisdom of our true nature—beyond physical limitations. This awareness brings peace and deep stability. 💚☸️
- **Part 2: Developing Wisdom and Compassion**  
After reconnecting with our essence, we grow our spiritual abilities. We cultivate the dharmas of wisdom and compassion, embodying the **Four Eternal Hearts**—loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, equanimity—and the **Six Bodhisattva Characters**—generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom.

This process reflects the realization of the Buddha’s abilities—a continual expansion of love, insight, and compassion for all beings.

---

### Conclusion: The Journey Through the Gates

The teaching of **1 Heart and 2 Gates** provides a profound map for spiritual and everyday life:

- The **1 heart** reminds us of our eternal essence—the unchanging source of true security.
- The **2 gates** represent our choices: to remain in illusion and suffering or awaken to wisdom and compassion.

This framework deepens spiritual practice and offers practical guidance for living with peace, purpose, and understanding. As we explore these teachings, we align more closely with the Buddha’s wisdom and live in harmony with our eternal nature.
### Two most important relationships in life.
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/two-most-important-relationships-in-life-2/
Last updated: 2025-06-02T13:22:48.000Z
Two most important relationships in life. Without these two wisdoms, the awakening heart will not appear.

1. **Relationship with our self**  
Observing self-being helps us become aware of the eternal truth of life. By doing so, we free ourselves from blindness and suffering and become wise and kind-hearted—to ourselves and to others.
2. **Relationship with Dharma**  
Observing dharma is the path to freedom from reincarnation and the key to discovering true peace and wisdom—the awakening heart.

Causation (*I*) brings unlimited insecurity and suffering, as there is no true freedom in blind causations. In this state, we are slaves to egoic intentions. Observing dharma means directly seeing unlimited truth—not just from the ego’s "I" or "mine" viewpoint. The awakening of dharma is the challenge of seeing through life’s blindness.

Always be aware of the four awakening **Observing Self-Being** wisdoms. All other wisdoms arise from these, enabling us to see through illusion and ego.

Stay humble in learning the eternal truth of life. Be free from the “I know” mindset and the stubborn ego. Be modest and open-hearted. Let go of the comparing heart—through this, joy arises, and the seeking can rest.

**No form** means perfection; no form can be anywhere, aware of anything.  
Our essence already holds perfect potential—no beginning, no end.  
Unlimited, incredible wisdom and kind-hearted dharmas await.

### Causation Discussion

Causation Discussion ☺️🙏🏼

Brooke:  
Causation is a system of cause and effect. And that system, it’s not one to one. Many causes create many effects, which create a whole web of causation.

Tim:  
Causation. Every cause has an effect, and every effect is a new cause, and so on. Sifu explained it in quite a cool way: A seed grows and becomes a plant, then it becomes an apple tree. That tree can grow a hundred apples in a season, but each of those apples has seeds, and there’s no limit to how many apples those seeds can produce. So within each seed is something unlimited. This helps us understand causation because there’s no limit to what can grow from that.

Valerie:  
There are four parts of causation:  
1\. Main cause—your intention.  
2\. Main supporting cause.  
3\. Timing.  
4\. All the direct and indirect causes.

Merryn:  
Consciousness and cause and effect are like different sides of a piece of paper. You need consciousness for causation to appear.

Simon:  
Causation has no “I.” Nothing changes on its own. Everything that’s changing has to have many causes working together. But if everything is interconnected like that, there is no “I.”

Monkey:  
Causation over lifetimes becomes karma.

Giant Dog:  
The present is the result of past causes. Past causes create present effects. The future comes from present causes.

Ricardo:  
Through causation, we can understand that life is illusion. Because everything has a cause and effect, and causation has no “I.” Everything is constantly changing within this no “I” system. This is another way to understand that life is illusion.

Sean:  
Causation is like a circle—it has no beginning, no end. You can’t say where it starts or stops. For that reason, it’s eternal. That eternal logic can either guide your life, or, if you’re unaware, it can leave you blind.

Tim:  
Causation and awakening. Because of causation, it means we can awaken. We can observe our suffering, trace it back to its cause, and fix that cause, making the suffering go away.

RedBull:  
Siddhartha Buddha said that understanding causation is the deepest of the deep. It’s so deep, mysterious, and complicated to grasp all the causation from all the unlimited consciousness. To truly understand causation is mind-blowingly beyond comprehension. That’s why it’s the deepest of the deep.

Last updated: 2024-10-16T05:13:08.000Z
**Essence: 1 Heart, 2 Gates**

**1 Heart**  
There is one eternal heart—no beginning, no end. It’s pure, and in that purity lies true security.

**2 Gates**  
The first gate is the *Blind Gate*. It’s connected to the limitless web of causation and illusion, the “I.” In this gate, we experience all kinds of suffering, but we find no real security.

The second is the *Awakening Gate*, which holds two parts of wisdom Dharma.

1. **Returning to Essence**: This part is about becoming aware of our true, eternal essence. Here, we discover that security has always been present. This is the first step in developing wisdom. 💚☸️
2. **Developing Wisdom and Compassion**: In this part, we develop all forms of wisdom and compassion Dharmas. We become aware of the boundless security that comes from the four eternal hearts and the six Bodhisattva characters. This is Buddha’s ability. ☸️🙏🕉️☯️🍀🐉

Both paths lead to wisdom, but the choice lies in which gate we walk through.

### Spiritual Will - How do we know if we are living in spiritual will or not?

# Spiritual Will

## How do we know if we are living in spiritual will or not?

The only way to tell if you are living in spiritual will is through discipline. Intention is just a possibility—the seed is there, but it doesn’t mean it’s growing. However, the possibility is always present. Spiritual will can only become a reality, transforming into spiritual karma, when it manifests through speaking and action.

Everything appears and disappears through the system of causation. Blindness arises through causation, and will must also disappear through causation.

Will develops through eternal wisdom, which ensures it remains. To check if you’re aligned with the will of eternal wisdom, examine your discipline—that’s the part you can observe. Does your discipline match the “laser line” of eternal wisdom, which never stops? Will must remain sincere and come from the heart, and that sincerity is expressed through discipline in observing Dharma and aligning your lifestyle with it.

You can ask yourself: Do I have the discipline to develop spiritual wisdom, or do I have blind habits that foster ego and reincarnation? It takes time—we are climbing the highest wisdom mountain, beyond this universe. All wisdom is called the Dharma ocean; it has no borders because the wisdom being taught is limitless.

When your will is concrete and clear, you can concentrate and challenge yourself, becoming aware of more wisdom and making it a reality. Every time you practice discipline, it is a form of power. And every time you don’t practice discipline, that, too, is a form of power.

Living without will can lead to suffering and keep you trapped in reincarnation. Once you are aware of the Dharma and fully agree with the wisdom it offers, you stay wise by continually observing it. Always observing Dharma with discipline leads to awakening and awareness of true value. Through this, we can maintain a disciplined lifestyle that develops true value and eternal meaning. Everything else is just suffering, influenced by blind illusions.

Wisdom will only appear through eternal Dharma, and it can only become spiritual karma through discipline.

Dharma Joy Appearing

Dharma joy appearing

You cannot get dharma joy. Dharma Joy only appears when you let it go.

If you think there’s something to be greedy for, you don’t understand Dharma.

If you think that there is something to let go, then you don’t truly understand that life is illusion.

Observing self-being is the purifying system to become the dharma, to create unlimited wisdom.

Three Eternal Dharma Truth 三法印

諸行無常

All the appearing forms of dharma are constantly changing.

諸法無我

Change cannot change itself; change comes from others. Because it comes from others, there is no individual self, but it can still appear. That’s why it’s an illusion.

涅槃寂靜

The essence of dharma remains calm and unlimited, cannot be added to nor subtracted from, is never dirty nor clean, no birth, no death – Naroyen Nirvana.
### Dharma Net: The Complete System of Life

# In this post:

In my Buddhism class on Sunday, Sifu explained the word “Dharma” and how to describe the system of life. He used the phrase “**Dharma Net**.”

To understand the Dharma Net, we will discuss the following:

– Dharma as a system for turning blindness into wisdom.  
– Dharma as encompassing many smaller systems—space, time, life forms, awakening, etc.  
– Awakening as becoming aware of all the incredible systems of life.

# Dharma as a System for Turning Blindness into Wisdom

Sifu used the phrase **Dharma Net** to explain that Dharma is a word covering the whole system of life.

Within this system, there are many smaller systems.

## Wisdom only exists if there is blindness.

Wisdom only exists if there is blindness. Wisdom is free from blindness.

If there’s no blindness, there’s no wisdom.

## The heart has two unlimited directions:

The heart has two unlimited directions:  
– Unlimited ability to create blindness.  
– Unlimited ability to create wisdom.

This is the philosophy of **One Heart, Two Gates**

The heart is free in both directions; it can create unlimited blindness, suffering, and hells. It can also create unlimited wisdom, joy, and pure lands.

Both sides are connected. Experiencing suffering teaches us how to develop wisdom to be free from it.

This means a life form can slowly develop all the systems needed to be free from suffering, blindness, greed, hate, and stupidity. Such a life form develops an incredible force even stronger than unlimited hells, called **awakened wisdom.**

# Dharma Has Many Smaller Systems Within It

## Space is a system

All space goes through four cycles:  
1\. Appearing  
2\. Developing  
3\. Destroying  
4\. Emptiness

## Life-form is a system

Life forms experience four cycles:  
1\. Birth  
2\. Aging  
3\. Illness  
4\. Death

## Material World Causation is a System

For consciousness, like humans, our consciousness connects to a material form.

Our consciousness creates an intention, which leads to thinking, speaking, and action to affect the world around us.

Originally, this started as what Buddha called “Blind Action.” Our birth into this space and illusion.

As humans, we are born blindly without knowing why or where. We cannot control it.

This process of blindly being born and dying over and over is called **reincarnation.**

To awaken, we must begin to observe this blind process. The start of this journey is a philosophy called “observing self-being.”

### Observing Self-Being Is a System

At the first level, we blindly follow the ego. The ego is defined by “I” and “mine,” centring on who I am, what I am, and what I want. This focus on the ego limits our awareness.

Awareness arises through our **consciousness** which operates through the six senses:  
1\. Eyes  
2\. Ears  
3\. Nose  
4\. Tongue  
5\. Body  
6\. Mind

These six senses receive six kinds of information:  
– Eyes receive light and dark.  
– Ears receive sound and silence.  
– Nose receives scent or no scent.  
– Tongue tastes flavour or no flavour.  
– Body feels touch and separation.  
– Mind engages in calculation or not.

When these senses interact with sense information, they create our experience. However, because our senses are limited, our experience is always limited. Thus, we can never fully understand the complete truth of life.

To move beyond these limitations and understand the complete truth, we must expand beyond the boundary of awareness created by our senses. Buddhism teaches this: observing the processes of birth, aging, illness, and death, understanding the cycles of existence, and ultimately transcending them.

## Daoism Is a System

In Daoism, followers practice observing and understanding the **Dao**, the abstract, empty essence of life.

Through disciplined training, they expand their awareness to become high-level gods, aware of all the systems above.

## Buddhism Is a System

Buddhism teaches that all these systems serve a function: to awaken the **awakened heart**.

All the systems are illusions. Once the heart is awakened, it is free from any system yet able to create new systems to help other life forms awaken.

In this way, Buddhism exists outside of the other systems. Even gods can die when their universe collapses.

# Awakening is Becoming Aware of All the Incredible Systems of Life

**Awaken what?** Awaken our hearts.

If life is an illusion, what are we awakening? Our incredible pure essence force.

This force can create unlimited illusions to experience and enjoy life. It can also be aware of Dharma and help every other life awaken this force.

When we practice observing and connecting with these systems, we create a wider view of life. This view helps our hearts become brighter, which is a direct way out of fear and worry.

# Conclusion: **Embracing the Dharma Net**

The Dharma Net is not just a complex system to be understood intellectually—it’s a living, breathing force that connects us all.

By awakening to the systems of life, from the cycles of space and time to the nature of suffering and wisdom, we open our hearts to limitless possibilities.

We begin to realise that within us lies the capacity for both blindness and brilliance, suffering and joy. As we learn to balance these forces, we can cultivate a life of greater awareness, compassion, and peace.

Each step in this journey brings us closer to understanding the nature of life and the incredible potential within our hearts. As we continue to awaken, we free ourselves from fear and worry, stepping into a world filled with clarity, purpose, and love.

Let this path inspire you to learn and live with an open, free, and forever-expanding heart. The Dharma Net is your invitation to transcend limitations and embrace the wisdom that awaits within you.

### Two most important relationships in life.

Last updated: 2024-09-18T13:17:53.000Z
**Two most important relationships in life.**

Without these two wisdoms, an awakened heart will not appear.

1. **Relationship with our self** –

Observing self-being is necessary to become aware of the eternal truth of life.

So we can be free from blindness and suffering and wise and kind-hearted to ourselves and others.

1. **Relationship with Dharma** –

Observing dharma is the way to freedom from reincarnation, and to becoming aware of true peace and wisdom as the true awakening heart.

Causation (I) is unlimited insecurity and suffering because there is no true freedom.

In blind causations, we suffer as slaves to all egoic intentions.

Observing dharma is directly observing unlimited truth, not just the ego’s “I” or “mine” viewpoint.

The challenge to see through the blindness of life is the awakening of dharma.

Always be aware of the four Awakening Observing Self-Being wisdom.

All other wisdom will develop with these four wisdoms, enabling one to see through blind illusion and ego.

Always remain humble to learn more of the eternal truth of life, free from the “I know” and stubborn ego.

Remain modest and sincere with an open heart.

There is no end to comparing hearts. Out of it, joy can appear, and the search can stop.

No form means perfect; no form can be anywhere, aware of anything.

Our essence already has the perfect potential to develop.

No beginning, no end.

Unlimited, incredible wisdom and kind-hearted dharmas.
### The Art of Meditation in Cultivating True Kindness

# The Art of Meditation in Cultivating True Kindness

![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*iNS1TPi4HIVmyDNBxKttBg.png)

Tai Chi Moving Meditation. It’s not my actual photo, lol. **Made with Midjourney.**

## **Meditation is just one word, but its meanings seem endless.**

How can such a simple term be so complex?

In our philosophy class, we played a game: Explain meditation without using new words.

**Can you do it?**

I couldn’t. Even after 15 years of bi-weekly Buddhist classes, I still found it too hard.

The Buddhist definition we explored on Sunday was:

“Meditation is to open our hearts with the wisdom of true kindness to purify our blind intentions. Joy and contentment appear.”— Forever Wisdom Forest

**I turned to my Sifu and asked:**

*“Why can’t I define this one word, even though we’ve covered it so many times?”*He explained it through 圓寂 (Yuen ji)

**圓寂 (Yuen ji)**

- **圓 (Yuen):** It means awareness of all aspects of Dharma. Dharma is the system of life. Dharma is the ultimate word. It includes everything that exists — past, present, and future.
- **寂 (Ji):** Signifies the silence and disappearance of the ego.

So what does this mean?

If the ego is active, we haven’t yet reached every angle of understanding.

It’s like having a strong opinion and defending it fiercely. The more angles we explore, the more flexible and relaxed we can be, whether we argue or not.

Fresh Perspective

This dual concept has given me fresh perspectives on my spiritual journey.

Not every angle is correct.

Buddhist philosophy says that judging an angle is an ego test. It’s about whether we have a complete view. This insight nurtures patience and focus, allowing me to value my ongoing learning.

What strikes me most is that true freedom is internal.

We do not need to seek it. We can simply enjoy and experience life as it is.

My martial arts practice aligns with this idea. It’s not about learning a new move. It’s about using those moves to gain freedom from being confined to any single method. The goal is to move in any direction with intention, logic and art power.

**It is freedom from my limitations. Not a freedom to find.**

# **Buddhism and Martial Arts**

Buddhism and martial arts converge in their teachings.

True freedom and enlightenment are not about escaping the world. They are about understanding and embracing it.

Buddhism teaches that everything is in constant change. This leads to endless views that make life astonishing. Once we accept we can hold and be free from any view, life becomes more relaxed.

So, that open heart brings kindness to ourselves, purifying our intentions.

This brings us back to the definition:

“Meditation is to open our hearts with the wisdom of true kindness to purify our blind intentions. Joy and contentment appear.”

**Conclusion**

Getting stuck in a single point of view is all too easy.

It’s harder to stay open-hearted as we become more skilled.

**But remember, that’s one subject.**

We are novices in everything else. Embracing that humility is a harsh lesson. It’s always going to be easier for me to say and write. It’s a battle to practice. But that battle is meaningful.

When we humbly open our hearts, we already practise pure kindness.

---

Original notes below:

Sunday summary 

Meditation is to open our heart with wisdom ,

kindness heart, and purify our blind intention.

The true joy and contentment will naturally appear.

圓寂 Yuen ji

圓 Yuen – 

Aware all the angle of Dharma

寂Ji –

Ego is silent and disappear.

Once we able to see all the angels of Dharma, no point of view to limited on blindness 

See all the angle then no ego. 

Observe with 

patience and concentration to be aware of the system of life and how incredible it is.

Incredible free, without have to free.

Incredible out of reincarnation, within reincarnation. 

Not understand Illusion is empty . 

Don’t see the freedom to create kindness heart dharma, that’s how we create ego and feel like we are inside reincarnation.

### Heart Sutra Summary - Part 1
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/heart-sutra-summary/
Last updated: 2026-07-26T08:12:43.000Z
# Heart Sutra Summary – Part 1

Here is the first part of a summary of the Heart Sutra from a master of philosophy and martial arts.

I transcribed the philosophy class below.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

\[AUDIO EMBED — SoundCloud player goes here\]

## The Title

\[IMAGE 1\]

It's a philosophy book to help us observe our hearts to reach Nirvana.

## Observing Self-Being Bodhisattva

\[IMAGE 2\]

Observing Self-Being Bodhisattva is two ideas.

First, it means there is the highest level of Bodhisattva here as the subject.

This could be Guan Yin (Observing Life Sound Bodhisattva) or a Buddha appearing as a Bodhisattva to teach. History is not clear to us here. Guan Yin appears in many different forms to help every kind of life.

How did they reach such a high level?

Secondly, through practising observing the self-being.

So, we should observe ourselves in the present and how we are 'being' to reach a higher level of wisdom like this Bodhisattva.

The first sentence introduces our main character and summarizes the story.

## Bo Re Bo Luo Mi Duo Has Two Meanings

\[IMAGE 3\]

Here, it is saying how they reached this level of wisdom and became a Bodhisattva.

The first is awareness of the Eternal truth of life (Dharma).

The second is to develop the 6 Bodhisattva characters. They are not listed in the Sutra directly, but they are:

- Generosity
- Discipline
- Patience
- Concentration
- Meditation
- Wisdom Being

Both meanings help us understand the concept more deeply.

Developing those characters is equal to being aware of the Eternal Truth of life. Without the characters, we can't be aware of it.

If we don't have that ability yet, we cannot reach that.

In the same way, we cannot become professional tennis players by reading only a book. We have not even practised for one second!

Once we become the best, our understanding has reached a new level. We have developed something.

What happens once we develop something?

## Bright Aware

\[IMAGE 4\]

They reached a stage of awareness called bright awareness.

This shows a bright, clear awareness, like a sun. It shines through their hearts.

It illuminates all the darkness with wisdom. It is poetic but clearly different from "Yes, I know that fact."

This awareness changes the being so they are no longer the same. This awareness can no longer go backwards into foolishness again.

But what are they brightly aware of?

## Awareness that the five developments are empty

\[IMAGE 5\]

There is also another Dharma to help us understand.

Five developments explain the relationship between consciousness and all the changing power.

We are consciousness. We have the ability to be aware of something.

What are we aware of? All the things (illusion being).

Because when we observe life very deeply, we become aware that everything comes from causation.

The Five developments are:

- Illusion Being (all the appearing changing form)
- Consciousness
  - Receiving (information), also called feelings
  - Thinking (Calculation)
  - Act / React
  - Awareness

This process never stops. The action creates a new causation, and the awareness leads to new receiving.

## Everything comes from causation

Causation comes from this power of changing.

Something cannot change by itself. It must somehow mix with something else and change.

For example, the sun's heat warms the ocean, and water becomes steam. Steam mixes with cool air and becomes a cloud.

Change is a mix that comes from others and keeps going nonstop.

So, the entire existence of our universe—from Hells to Pure Lands—is all this changing power.

But because it comes from the other, if we observe it deeply, we realise it is empty.

That's how life is, and that's the most mysterious part! That's the fun part of life.

Can you say there's something truly there and not changing?

That means nothing's moving. Everything would be frozen. We could not be aware of anything.

If everything stays the same, that will not work either. We cannot be aware of anything if everything stays the same. We would get bored. Everything is the same. We don't have to look a second time. We don't have to hear it a second time. It's not possible. So there's no life.

But if life is truly empty—like there is nothing there—we don't have to be aware of anything because we are not even here!

So, the idea of emptiness does not mean nothing.

It means everything can appear as if it is there but truly is not there. That kind of empty.

It's like a movie projected onto a screen. We see someone on the screen, but no one is there.

### Illusion Being

\[IMAGE 6\]

Life is like a dream. If we think about a dream, it makes understanding it easier.

Everything can appear, but nothing is truly there. Wake up. Dream gone. Dream a new dream tonight. Go to sleep, dream appears again.

The power to dream is consciousness ability.

And that's the mysterious part.

Every Buddhist philosophy is connected to this basic truth.

So, 5 developments. The first development is illusion being. Already tells us it's a changing power.

That's why the Diamond Sutra teaches about dream illusions. We should practice observing life like a dream, a bubble, a shadow, lightning, or the dew that appears in the morning on a flower. It comes and goes without a break.

Our body is also like this.

### Receiving – Feelings

\[IMAGE 7\]

Our consciousness is something true, our true self.

But this never appears. Consciousness has the power to receive this illusion. To receive it, consciousness creates a body. Consciousness is trying to understand who I am and what I am.

So, it creates a body, and through this tool senses receive information.

The moment we receive information, we create one kind of feeling. Everything we receive becomes a feeling. So, receiving also means feelings.

### Thinking

\[IMAGE 8\]

So, you receive information as feelings, and then you will try to understand your own feelings. The moment you try to understand your feelings, you already think about them.

Even if you have words or no words, you actually try to think about the feelings.

### Act / React

\[IMAGE 9\]

Then, you act based on your thoughts. You won't go beyond that.

So, deep wisdom is crucial. Wrong thinking leads to wrong actions, and you may not realize that you're doing them wrong.

There's more power in belief than in mere thinking. True thought goes beyond language.

Sometimes, you feel the need to learn something important. But then, a voice says, "Let's play. It's nice outside. Learning can wait." So, you end up learning nothing.

Now, deeper thoughts emerge. If you say, "I tried, but it didn't work," the question is, why?

You only tried with surface thoughts, not deep ones. Deep thinking blends all your thoughts. It reveals your true intentions.

By observing truths slowly, we see the full picture.

Gradually, our actions align with what is right. This is true dharma.

### Awareness

\[IMAGE 10\]

Our actions lack dharma. By understanding dharma, we improve it.

In Chinese, "Shi" means awareness, the act of being aware, and the ability to be aware.

Consciousness puzzles humans, even top scientists. Quantum physics is now shedding light on it.

Before this, scientists believed in a systematic material world. They called this science, which Buddhism refers to as dharma. They saw this system as all reality.

Thus, they excluded consciousness from their calculations.

Now, they realise that observing an atom alters it. Intent can influence the physical world.

Previously, consciousness was seen as personal views, feelings, beliefs, or imagined realities. People thought it had nothing to do with physical reality.

Quantum physics challenges previous scientific beliefs. Observing something alters it. Then, checks confirm this fact. Understanding follows. Our consciousness, it turns out, is key. It shapes the universe, bodies, and light. Light behaves like waves or straight lines.

Consider a video game. It springs to life when you play. When you stop, it vanishes. The game isn't personal. It's simply there for you.

## Observing Emptiness

The form looks real, but it keeps changing.

Consciousness is real but never appears.

Life is so tricky!

Buddha says the whole universe is doing that. Life is already unlimited. Everything is already built, and it continues to change unlimitedly.

But you can only discover it when you observe it. And that's actually easy to understand.

Any ability you build is through your observation, which makes you aware of it. It becomes your ability. And then this universe, whatever knowledge we discover, is like that.

Cavemen didn't have lighters, but if they had been aware, they could have done it at their time, too. Lighters already existed back then; you would have needed awakened awareness and wisdom to discover them.

But the possibility can exist. It has no beginning or end. It's only when you discover it that you realise it's there.

So you think we need to make something happen? No.

Everything's already there. Can you discover it? That's all.

So, become Buddha also like that. Buddha is always there. Our Buddhahood, our unlimited awareness, is in our hearts.

Buddha said that whatever you connect to, you become.

Like Taiji, you must connect to Taiji philosophy, observe it, and be aware of it.

You're aware of it, and then you can always enjoy it.

A high-level being develops wisdom and becomes it. They reach a bright awareness to enjoy every moment of their lives, free from suffering.

Lights on, then darkness disappears. Lights off, darkness appears.

Only true ability can remain with the lights on.

You need wisdom to train your body properly.

The wisdom comes from the history of martial arts, the master Zhang Seng Feng.

He was 100 years old when he created Cloud Hands, then Tai Chi Yin and Yang power. He is the number one martial arts legend.

He taught using philosophy poems.

You live on Earth, so you understand that you always need good posture.

You are not a robot; you cannot always have good posture. Look at all the animals: it doesn’t matter if they lie down, run, or jump – their body is relaxed and works together.

Consider the puma: any picture you take of them looks perfect, relaxed, and beautiful. Humans now have the ugliest posture of any animal on Earth because we create tension and move so much power into our minds. Mental power is a new experience for humans, but not for all consciousness, as some humans already have Intuition Power.

Animal survival power is called desire. Emotional power is The next higher level: they share, care for their infants, and work together. Human beings have one more level called Thinking Power. It’s new for us, so we spend much of our energy in the brain and then don’t have the power to be aware of our body.

For animals to survive, their body awareness has to be perfect. They cannot have any injury or anything wrong with their balance. They must be aware of their centre because they will be eaten if they lose their balance.

So they have a lot of awareness, sensitivity, and centre power. After a few thousand years, the master Zhang Seng Feng explained this understanding of what’s important.

Not all human beings are in the Mental Power stage. Some humans finish developing their mental power in a past life and graduate to the next power, Intuition Power.

That ability directly understands all knowledge through the symbols, through the few perfect ideas that connect to all the angles of wisdom, which is called philosophy. Through Intuition Power, they immediately see what they mean and how to live properly.

When those consciousnesses became human beings, they used their mind power to codify perfect ideas about using Intuition Power. They wrote down philosophies that teach you how to live strong, healthy, sensitive lives in harmony with your body and nature. Life will be free from suffering, worry, and stress.

There are two strongest philosophies: Taoism and Buddhism. I mix the two together to benefit everyone because they have benefited my life.

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2024/06/z3-300x300.jpeg)

**Zhang Seng Feng’s philosophy is based on Taoism.**

Every move is a rotation.

If I stand up, I don’t go straight up; it’s really ugly and stiff, and when I do it naturally, I will do it with a twist. If you don’t use rotation power, you create some tension. If every move has a bit of tension, the result is a whole day’s worth of tension.

Tai Chi is yin and yang. You have to learn to be relaxed and move powerfully without tension. That flow is beautiful. You have to have this beautiful flow on both sides. That’s what the Tai Chi sign is: yin and yang, curved across the centre. Always use rotation power.

To create that power, you first have to create a centre. With a circle, there is always a perfect centre. Tai Chi is about a perfect centre that comes from two different, imperfect centres; that’s the true centre.

These two centres are for your feet and can be swapped. So you must learn to swap beautifully, not stiffly. You have to learn to do this even while standing. Be aware of it when swapping: the swapping power has a curve.

The Chi Gong form helps you learn how precise and flowing your centre is. Then the curve is how your hand moves with no tension through your foot, how to change poses – puma, tiger, and stork – and how your leg moves with no tension. With people who have graduated from Chi Gong, you can see how smooth and elegant they are, and it’s not easy to make it look natural.

The other important thing is to be sensitive: the Waterman technique. You are so sensitive that you find joy in your movements. You don’t even have to laugh when you become sensitive enough to feel another person. You are happier than laughter. To laugh is “Ahahahaha”; it’s more superficial, and it’s low-level happiness. Open, sensitive concentration power is something with deep intention. It is self-assurance; when you live with a sensitive awareness, you simultaneously feel your internal and external life.

The new idea is to keep the joints open after finding the centre, following the curve, and sensitivity.

Many people do Chi Gong very stiffly, so how do you open your joints? Imagine a cushion of air between the joints; then, you start to become free. You have to feel that there is space between every pair of bones. When the space starts to open, you can feel no more tension.

The whole centre has one point, which is the centre of the centre. The vertical centre line rises from this, which connects to a central point: the third chakra. That one controls how you are going to move. It’s connected to the feet and the brain; energy rises from the foot, rotates up into the third chakra, and then guides you in whichever direction you want.

Observe the weight of your body pressing down against the ground, and then push against it. Use gravity to bring your body back to the centre. Let the energy pass through the third chakra and change direction. Without tension, let your body flow in any direction. Then your whole body power is united.

Tuck your chin in slightly so your neck is straight, gently proud without tension. Focus on the seventh chakra gate: imagine a piece of string is pulling it up. Feel all the joints in your spine expand, and then you can do Chi Gong more perfectly.

Imagine filling all the joints, separating, filling with joy. Be sensitive, but don’t use mental power; don’t think, just feel. Feel the body weight pressing into the foot and then rotate back to your third chakra. From there, change your direction to wherever you want.

If you practice this all the time, you can feel whether you are out of balance or have tension. You become your own doctor; before any part of you gets out of balance, you are already aware of it. Your body will tell you, “I don’t want this; fix it.” This way, you can live your whole life without damaging your body.

I found a book that says human beings die not because death comes in 80 years but because we damage ourselves in that time. So, health comes from learning to be sensitive, staying perfect, and not causing damage.

1\. Ego I  
Only think about self: the desire to survive and continue to survive  
I and mine

2\. Little I  
Share emotion. Close relative, personal relationship and family karma  
Help others survive and continue to survive

3\. Big I  
It comes from the big idea: I want to help many people.  
Usually, they are still mainly concerned with their ego. All these activities are to support their ego.

4\. True I  
Consciousness starts to become aware of the illusion being, body, and surroundings are illusions.

5\. Empty I  
The consciousness has the ability to be aware of the illusion by intuition. Rohan level meditation ability.

6\. Compassion I  
Empty has one problem: it still suffers from loneliness. The consciousness realizes that the true meaning of life is to help others.

7\. Bodhisattva I  
Consciousness develops more wisdom to help other life, also known as the Convenient system. No suffering. Ability to divide consciousness.

8\. Full empty I / unlimited perfect compassion I  
The consciousness develops complete wisdom and the ability to release all suffering.
### Three Types of "I" in Consciousness and Spiritual Growth
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/three-types-of-i-in-consciousness-and-spiritual-growth/
Last updated: 2024-11-22T11:16:04.000Z
# 1\. Causation I:

This form of “I“ is created by our consciousness’s unconscious actions.

Our consciousness has the ability to initiate actions without full awareness, leading to what is termed the “Causation I.“ These actions accumulate, joining together to form what is known as “Karma I.“ Ultimately, our consciousness becomes entangled in the cycle of reincarnation due to these amassed actions.

# 2\. Essence I:

This represents the pure, original wisdom within us. However, once we embark on a journey filled with blind actions, it becomes challenging to be aware of our “Essence I.“ 

The only path to reconnecting with this pure essence is cultivating wisdom, penetrating all illusions. You can perceive and connect with your essential nature by overcoming these illusions. This connection marks the first experience of Nirvana.

# 3\. Developing Wisdom I:

The power of developing wisdom, or “Developing Wisdom I,“ is considered the true treasure of life. 

It is the driving force behind spiritual awakening and the beginning of a life aligned with the True Dharma. By nurturing this aspect, an individual embarks on a profound spiritual awakening and fulfilment journey.

# Understanding the Three “I” s in Spiritual Practice

This post explores three distinct types of “I“ that affect our spiritual journey and consciousness. The “Causation I“ is linked to unconscious actions that create a pattern or cycle, often leading to what many spiritual traditions call karma. This karma influences our cycle of birth and rebirth, illustrating how our actions, even when not fully aware, shape our spiritual path.

The “Essence I“ is about our true, unaltered state of being—our purest form of wisdom. This is often obscured by our actions and the illusions of daily life. Achieving awareness of this essence requires significant spiritual insight and the ability to see beyond the surface-level experiences of life.

Lastly, “Developing Wisdom I“ emphasizes actively cultivating wisdom.

This isn’t just about learning or understanding but involves a profound transformation that aligns one’s life with deeper spiritual truths. It’s about unlocking a life that profoundly comprehends and lives out the principles of Dharma, leading to enlightenment and a profound sense of peace.

Each of these aspects of the “I“ provides a framework for understanding how we interact with the world spiritually and what steps we can take to progress on our path toward enlightenment.

# Explaining the 8 True Dao

This post outlines the “8 True Dao,” a series of steps or principles for achieving a deeper spiritual understanding and living a life aligned with Dharma, the cosmic law underlying right behaviour and social order in Buddhist philosophy.

1\. True Dharma – highlights the connection between thoughts and actions, suggesting that spiritual karma (the sum of a person’s actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences) is influenced by an understanding of life’s eternal truths.

2\. True Observation – asserts that understanding Dharma requires clear, logical observation free from biases and distortions.

3\. True Speaking – emphasizes the importance of speaking truthfully and wisely, which can lead to continual spiritual awakening and clarity.

4\. True Action – involves living with discipline that aligns with Dharma, thus fostering genuine spiritual karma.

5\. Right Way of Living – proposes that living according to eternal wisdom guides one’s lifestyle towards generating positive spiritual karma.

6\. Wise Way of Concentrating – stresses the necessity of maintaining a consistent focus and sensitivity to Dharma to develop a boundless capacity for spiritual awakening.

7\. Pure Wise Intention – revolves around the purity of Dharma and how engaging with it leads to pure intentions, reflecting a clear and virtuous mindset.

8\. Awakened Meditation -suggests a state of continuous presence, with no attachment to the past or future, where one meditates with pure intention, observing the self as a Bodhisattva, a being on the path to enlightenment dedicated to helping others achieve the same.

Each of these principles serves as a guide to cultivating a life that not only seeks personal enlightenment but also contributes positively to the world, embodying the virtues of a Bodhisattva.
### Move the Qi and Realize the Wuji Kung Fu

# **Move the Qi and Realize the Wuji Kung Fu**

Move the Qi and realize the Wuji Kung Fu.

When the Qi gathers, it disperses and then disappears.

Move the Qi according to the Dharma and have a long life.

Infinite heaven and earth. The vast Qi. The universe exhales.

The soul is inaction.

Compassion. Equality. Bodhisattva. Compassion. Wisdom. Pure land of Buddhas.

## Explanation: **Move the Qi and Realize the Wuji Kung Fu**

—

\*\*Exploring the Essence: Move the Qi and Realize the Wuji Kung Fu\*\*

This post taps into the principles of Qi (vital energy) and Wuji Kung Fu, a concept from Chinese martial arts that emphasizes the state of boundless potential before the duality of yin and yang emerges.

“Moving the Qi” refers to guiding and controlling this life force through the body, believed to enhance health and spiritual growth.

The process described—”When the Qi gathers, it disperses and then disappears”—illustrates energy’s natural flow and transformation.

This flow aligns with the Daoist concept of following the natural order (Dharma), which leads to longevity and a profound connection with the universe.

The terms “Infinite heaven and earth,” “the vast Qi,” and “the universe exhales” evoke a sense of Qi’s expansive nature as it encompasses and interacts with the cosmos.

The soul is inaction” reflects the Daoist ideal of wu wei, or non-action, which is a state of alignment with the flow of life, requiring no forced effort.

The repetition of “Compassion” along with “Equality,” “Bodhisattva,” “Wisdom,” and “Pure land of Buddhas” connects these practices to Buddhist virtues and goals.

Here, the cultivation of Qi is not just a physical or metaphysical exercise but a spiritual practice aimed at developing compassion and wisdom. It strives toward the enlightenment and selfless service embodied by a Bodhisattva in the pure land—a place of peace and bliss in Buddhist cosmology.

### Why Worry?

# **Why Worry?**

Wisdom can help us find a way free from worry.

But worry cannot help us get away from worry. 

So why worry?

Go enjoy observing wisdom! 

😀🙏☸️💚💐

# **Breaking Down the Message: Why Worry?**

The gist of this post is straightforward: worrying gets you nowhere.

It points out a simple truth—worrying about stuff doesn’t help solve anything; it just keeps you in a stress loop.

Instead, we can change our outlook by adopting a mindset of gaining insights and understanding.

Instead of fretting over potential problems, the post encourages us to enjoy learning from our experiences. 

It’s about taking a step back, looking at the bigger picture, and finding lessons in the everyday. 

This approach reduces our worries and makes life much more exciting and fulfilling.

# **From Pure Name Buddha Vimalakirti: No 2**

“Every drop of rain is different, but once it drops into the ocean, it becomes all the same.

Final essence consciousness: we are the same.

Our hearts, all life forms, and Buddha are all the same.

The difference is that Buddha is aware of all life forms and the kinds of blindness they create.

Buddha is also aware of their true essence and awakens all the blindness.”

**About the Source: Pure Name Buddha Vimalakirti**

This profound insight is derived from the teachings of Buddha Vimalakirti, a unique figure also known as the Pure Name Buddha, who chose to manifest as a businessman to impart his wisdom to non-monastic students.

He is a well-known character in Mahayana Buddhism, mainly through the “Vimalakirti Sutra.”

Vimalakirti is famous for his profound wisdom and ability to explain life.

**His teachings often focus on the idea that reality is unified, where the usual differences we see don’t really exist.**
### 3 True Essence Ability: How to Become Aware of Unlimited Wisdom Dharmas Without Thinking
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/how-to-become-aware-of-unlimited-wisdom-dharmas-without-thinking/
Last updated: 2024-05-27T11:37:10.000Z
# **How to Become Aware of Unlimited Wisdom Dharmas Without Thinking**

We cannot use ourselves to be aware of Dharma.

It is challenging to use ‘I’ to learn ‘no I’.

If we can’t even rid ourselves of our ‘I,‘ how can we become aware of the four eternal heart self-being?

For example, fear is a manifestation of the blind ego ‘I’; we still have many fears hiding there.

But once our heart enters Taiji ☯️ a state of moving meditation without ‘I’—we will have no time for any ego ‘I.’

There is no need to destroy the ego ‘I,‘ as that is another form of ego.

By immersing 100% into eternal Taiji dharma, you can become a ‘No I‘ in moving meditation; you are the Dharma.

After that, you’ll have more ability to develop the four eternal hearts without ‘I.’

## **Three Pure Awareness States to Become the Dharma:**

### **Empty Heart:**

Never think you know anything.

If you want to understand some dharma, you must be 100% aware of it and carefully aware of every word.

Aware of the 4 spiritual qualities: aware truth, aware kindness, aware art, and aware freedom.

Because life has every angle in every moment. But my mood is only one of them.

### **Equal Heart:**

Free yourself from comparing. Big ego there judging everything. Water never complains!

In deep meditation, that does not exist. Everything is unique and magical.

Never see Buddha as higher than ourselves; instead, appreciate and think of Buddha as the incredible and astonishing awakening consciousness teacher.

Regard every life as not below us. Every life is blind in its own different way, and consciousness is no different. All have the equal unlimited potential to become Buddha.

That’s why Buddha sees every life as capable of becoming Buddha.

### **No Beginning, No End Pure Appreciation Heart:**

Life is incredible; appreciate the ‘One heart, two gates‘ of all the Dharma.

‘One heart, two gates’—the Blindness gate is also our teacher; see through it, and wisdom will appear.

The Awakening gate demands discipline to develop a kind heart and create convenient wisdom to help others live.

Life is a gift, 🎁 appearing only as the changing present, with no beginning or end. That’s why the word ‘present‘ also means ‘gift.’

These three awarenesses are our true natural spiritual seeds.

The other ego views of life are our blind habits and the dust that covers them.😊☸️🙏💚☯️🕉️

# Poem

The fish live in the ocean and don’t know what water is.

We live in unlimited Dharma but are not aware of any eternal truth.

Awakening is to see through what blindness is and go back to spiritual self-being.

**Let’s learn from Amithaba Buddha’s Dharma to be aware of our 4 Eternal Heart’s essence.**
### In Search of Lingqi 靈氣 : Life, Concentration, Meditation and Intuition
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/in-search-of-lingqi--e9-9d-88-e6-b0-a3-life-concentration-meditation-and-intuition/
Last updated: 2024-05-03T09:34:28.000Z
# In Search of Lingqi 靈氣 : Life, Concentration, Meditation and Intuition

## Part One: Consciousness and Space Appear

According to Buddhist teaching, our hearts create everything.

It’s not our regular idea of a physical heart that pumps blood, nor our idea of wanting / desire / what we are looking for—heart.

In Buddhist teaching, the heart is a power that exists to be aware of everything. It is equal to consciousness—our ability to be aware. It is a natural ability.

If you use logic to observe it, it will become evident for you.

If there is no heart to be aware of anything, there is no life.

Creation – in Buddhism, there is no god to create the universe. So you don’t have to follow any god.

But you can still make peace with high consciousness, which we call god. Because somehow, these high consciousnesses still want to help us. So, it is good to show respect for higher consciousness.

If we went back to see cave dwellers and showed them a lighter, a gun, and a laser, they would bow and think we are god.

So, god is a relative term to whatever your level of consciousness. Our idea of god is about something unknown which goes far beyond what we know now.

Everything keeps changing. Creation is part of causation, which always changes due to many causes.

Buddhism talks about reality. Everything changes. So, if something exists as a form, it is changing and empty. Something which can exist without form is empty.

The word empty is challenging to understand because we assume it means there is nothing there. But completely nothing does not exist. Empty space is still space.

All forms, including life, are created by joined consciousness. We can use the word karma.

Our heart has a creation ability. It can join together with other hearts to create three different types of unlimited space:

- Physical / Material Space
- Energy Space
- Empty Space

When consciousness connects to these three kinds of space, they become three types of lifeforms.

## Part Two: How Does Life Appear From Consciousness

Life appears through 6 Unlimited Elements.

- Consciousness (6) creates empty space (5). Empty space is pure energy with the potential to form the 4 elements: Earth, water, fire, and wind.
- When energy builds something in a steady form, we call that material.
- When it is a ‘free’ style, we call it energy.
- The four styles we call the 4 Elements come from empty space.
- When the pure energy is still (unmoving), we call it empty space.
- When it moves, it creates the four elements.

Look out at the sky at night.

Is it mostly stuff (planets/stars)? No. It is mostly empty space.

In fact the universe is so tiny compared to empty space, like one granule of sand in a desert.

Scientists are trying to understand empty space, which they now call dark matter. They find that 96% of everything we can observe is this empty space (dark matter).

When you look at the surface of the water, it is smooth. But throw a stone at it, and ripples appear on the surface. The water in this example is empty space. The thrower is consciousness. The ripples are the four elements. When it stops moving, it goes back to pure empty.

Another example of the six elements is water.

- Heat it into steam, it rises and expands to go everywhere.
- It rises and cools and forms a cloud, then falls as rain.
- As a liquid, this rain can fill a cup and stay in it. It is not free to travel anymore. It will become whatever container it is in.
- Then cool it more to become ice, and it becomes solid.
- But mix anything with water, steam it out, cool it, and it goes back to pure water again. Nothing can ever permanently mix with water.
- In this example, Water is empty space, its states are the elements, and consciousness acts on the elements.
- The same essence can create many different appearing forms.

Unlimited – what is this?

Every night we dream. Then it disappears, and the next night, we have another dream. There is no limit to the number of dreams. But all dreams fit into one of the three categories above. They are Material space, energy space, and empty space.

Buddhism says life has two sides: consciousness and illusion. They are empty. They are illusions. That is what the Heart Sutra is teaching.

Why are these six elements empty?

Consciousness creates the first 5\. If they are created, then they did not exist before. So, they are an illusion. Like we make a dream. Then the dream is gone. It appears like it exists, but it is truly not there.

But consciousness itself has no form, so it is empty. That is why Buddhism teaches emptiness—many different kinds of empty. Consciousness always exists but never appears anywhere, that type of empty.

**Zen Riddle: Empty is not empty.** 

If empty is empty, then who is learning to be empty? Who is teaching empty? What subject are we learning that is empty? Because empty is not empty. Empty is deep and abstract. Empty creates everything and never becomes anything. Empty remains empty.

## **Part Three: Karma: Joined Consciousness Creation**

- Many things mixed, we call causation, like apple seed becomes an apple.
- When those causes are powerful enough to influence across lifetimes, we call it karma.
- Everyone’s karma together in a system we can call Dharma. Extensive system to support every life to create their own karma. So, all the apple seeds and all the apples are connected to those trees.

Everything can be observed because causation gives rise to life.

So, in one way, Buddhist philosophy is more scientific than science! Scientists look at materials and now energy. But they don’t know how to observe empty space. They are only now learning this through Quantum Physics. They are starting to see that consciousness affects energy. They still miss the fact that consciousness is the main cause of life.

They realise that the quantum realm can create everything. So inside our consciousness is the power to create everything! That is how we join our subject today: meditation.

## **Part Four: What is Meditation?**

Meditation is not a power outside of you because your heart creates everything, so everything is inside of you.

Otherwise, how can you become Buddha?

Buddha is aware of everything and free to create anything. Buddha can create a Pure Land Universe to help unlimited life to become Buddha and help others. This is the highest wisdom of all.

Buddha says everyone can become Buddha. It is inside already. They also say that Buddha seeds cannot grow and appear without development.

So Buddha says to awaken our consciousness to make that power grow even though it is inside as our nature.

And the primary key to making it grow is meditation.

To train meditation to create intuition power.

## **Part Five: Intuition Power**

We have learned previously about 3 Qi’s:

- 血氣Xue Qi (Physical) Blood Energy
- 精氣Jing Qi (Essence) Marrow Energy
- 靈氣Ling Qi (Awaken) Spiritual Energy Ling Qi is Pure Land Energy

To be aware of Ling Qi, you need a very awakened power. We call this meditation power.

Aware of the highest energy: Ling Qi

- Material space worlds mostly have Xue Qi. They say the modern world has very little Ling Qi. But long ago, the Earth had a lot. It had many kinds of life forms. Energy gods and devils could come to Earth to absorb it, and they fought for it.
- The more Ling Qi, the more sensitive you can change space and control everything. Ling Qi is like power.
- Now, we fight for oil, power, and money. Back then, they fought for energy – for Ling Qi. They directly absorb it to live as long as possible and control the universe.
- The Earth doesn’t have much anymore, so they are not here anymore.
- Energy space has Jing Qi and Ling Qi.
- Lower-level energy gods have Jing Qi. Higher-level energy gods in empty space (Empty Gods) have Ling Qi.
- Ling Qi has two types. Reincarnation style and out-of-reincarnation style (Pure Land, Unlimited Eternal Ling Qi)
- This is not created by combination. It is created by awakened consciousness. Awakened consciousness help everyone awaken to join to create Ling Qi.
- This awakened Ling Qi is developed through the 4 Eternal Hearts:
- - Kindness without ego,
  - Caring without negative personal emotion
  - Joy without stupidity
  - Freedom from greed
- When you develop this kind of energy, you are out of reincarnation. This energy comes from an eternal system. So, if you follow it, you become eternal, too. That is the idea of awakened consciousness. Become eternal, perfect Dharma. Eternal in unlimited ways with unlimited systems. Each one is perfect. Then you are free to go into and out of reincarnation to help other life.
- Ling Qi is very sensitive and very fine (finest) energy creation from life. Because it is the original creation, it is the most pure and delicate.
- So, if you want to train Ling Qi in your Taiji, you must make it lighter and open every channel. Go to beautiful nature, so the surroundings are the most important for beginners.

## Part Six: Concentration Becomes Meditation

- The world is created from causation – life comes from many causes, and many things influence our hearts.
- So we have no power to concentrate. We think we can, but we cannot.
- What we call “concentration” is relative. Consider how many conflicting priorities appear when you want to concentrate:
- - We need to breathe, move, the tension in our body, go to the toilet, surroundings, hunger/thirst, energy/tired, moody, sexual, time, society, other life, hot/cold, finance, fear, worry.
  - Influences from inside and outside never stop. They ruin our chance at concentration.
- Think about it – we have no choice but to say – OK, I’m going to concentrate on this now and not get influenced by those! Within 1 second, it started to fade.
- So, the ability to freely choose from the heart and succeed in focusing is called meditation.
- Meditation is deep concentration. It gives you the power to control your senses and thinking. No cause can influence you.
- You can choose a very strong concentration force by your own will and win against all the causation.
- This process is called meditation.
- The result of successful meditation is intuition.

To prove how strong outside influences are, go to beautiful nature. In a space with good feng shui, the energy is balanced. We naturally enter a kind of peaceful meditation. We go back to our pure, essential nature. For me it could be sitting by a waterfall.

So it makes sense to practice this around strong natural forces. To help us build our inner meditation skill.

**Question from a student:** What does this look like? It’s for modern students learning meditation.

**Answer:** Initially this is a very weak force inside of us. Developing it creates true strength, force and independence.

How can we create the wisdom of free will (true freedom) if we are only influenced from the outside? How can we develop the wisdom of harmony if we are only influenced by ourselves?

Meditation is the training system that develops both. Training to help you concentrate more correctly, logically, and freely. When it becomes sharp and appears as a true ability in the present we call it intuition. It takes time to train it.

Example: Tai Chi

- Tai Chi is a moving meditation training system
- Tai Chi as an ability is intuition. Thta means you don’t have to think when you train successfully.
- Training requires a lot of concentration, observation, and practice. For example, a strange head movement. Even though you tell someone not to do that, they can’t stop it. It takes many years to train the correct motion in one move. Then, awareness of the body improves to a point where you don’t have to think about it anymore.
- The training process to guide you to that result can be called a meditation system.
- By concentrating on being aware of that system and that ability.

## Part Seven: Meditation is a precise system

- Meditation is a clear system that helps you control your heart and mind. It frees you from all influences, allowing you to focus and grow your strength as a centre.
- There are many kinds of meditation systems.
- Tai Chi is a system. It requires moving with the power of the foot and harmony to reduce tension. It moves the energy (4 elements) without overacting, strong “I” thinking, and so on.
- No chance to make it. They say if you can make one move, such as moving meditation, in 20 years of human training, you are a genius. That is how challenging flowing energy with a perfect procedure is for us.

That’s why I encourage everyone to learn Tai Chi. What else gives you a clear way to build focus? Clear reality, in the present as an ability?

I can train to be aware of my 3 Qi’s:

- Xue Qi: I should be aware of my bone structure, my blood flow, my breathing, my physical strength, and my coordination.
- Jing Qi: Form them into energy motion at high speed without tension, any angle, any speed you choose.
- Ling Qi: To train Jing Qi, sensitive awareness must first exist. That is intuition power. Use that power to connect to the Buddhist meditation mantras.

## Part Eight: Future of Consciousness

- High technology is neutral. We think we will only use it to make ourselves stronger, but we can also use it to make ourselves weaker.
- If we choose technology over developing our consciousness, we become dependent.
- So train your consciousness! Awareness ability comes from inside not outside.
- Meditation is about awakening the true power of life, as a system to become an ability (intuition.)
- So training out 8 consciousnesses is the way to continuously develop.

# 3 Qi’s into Pure Land Training System – Draft

血氣Xue Qi 

(Physical) 

Blood Energy

精氣Jing Qi (Essence) 

Marrow Energy

靈氣Ling Qi 

(Awaken) 

Spiritual Energy

# Introduction

- Energy is a big subject and itself is very abstract.
- But in this philosophy it can be understood from rough to very fine.
- Refining energy is part of our martial arts training into meditation direction.
- Daoism uses this refining process in meditation towards a God direction
- Buddhism refines this energy into meditation towards kindness, heart and wisdom, and compassion. To open 6 sky abilities and will to finally to create Pure Land to help other life.
- So energy is neutral.

# 3+1 Energies

- We begin with essence qi / original qi (not sure of Chinese??)
- This energy is hidden in the bone marrow
- To move you need energy, so this is the original energy you are born with.
- By age 19, for humans, it starts to deplete unless you continue to train and develop it.

# 血氣Xue Qi – Physical – Blood Energy

- The blood pumps to create muscles, and it makes bones grow, making organs grow
- As we grow, Xue Qi can become stronger or weaker. We can develop or destroy it
- *Need more notes here…*

# 精氣Jing Qi (Essence) – Marrow Energy

- More refined than Xue qi – More light and no gravity brings a feeling of a body built by air. Floating feeling. Then very fast
- Xi Sui Jing develops this energy to become more sensitive
- You can call it fine energy – relaxed light movement with less muscle movement
- Most modern humans do not know how to control it, or how to develop it
- Because it is so fine, it can easily get blocked – as you age and become less flexible, nerves get blocked, your body stiffens, and this energy cannot pass through anymore.
- When original qi comes out from bones marrow we call this Jing Qi??
- This energy sends information to our nervous system
- We dont have to refine our energy to Jing Qi before we can open Lingqi. As there are some systems to open Lingqi directly.

## Training – Duan Gu (Bone Awareness training)

- Consciousness connected to bone structure
- Eyes half closed – be aware of someone pulling your head up, someone pulling your shoulder out
- Feel bones stack on top of each other.
- So your awareness feels the posture at the bone level
- Similar to how a bodybuilder makes a pose from every angle look the way he wants. Aware of the bone placement and muscle position.
- Not focused on how the energy moves (Ie Taiji) but on how it forms??

## **Training – Yi Jin Jing – Bodhidharma training system**

- Consciousness connected to tendon and ligaments Yijing  
  - Feel the stretching open and powerful
  - Chest open and free
  - Weighed stretch it open
- Ensure nerves are not squeezed, make the area have space and feel great 🙂, and not get mentally stressed.
- Weighted stretching with laser line to open joints and set the nervous system free
- Use a machine to strongly open ligaments and stretch out to fingers to send energy through all meridians with light twisting

## **Training – Xi Sui Jing – Bodhidharma training system**

- Feel energy in your body
- Feel something come out of your body no muscle not much strength
- Because we train rough energy, we are so used to it we can’t feel whole body light, no tension, and being sensitive
- Stiff heavy blocked not doing it

# Ling Qi

- This we can call spiritual energy. We can also call it no more personal ego. Energy no longer trapped by our ego.
- This energy exists somehow outside of the world of form
- The limited human brain cannot access this energy by following blind human desire ego
- Ling Qi is Pure Land energy
- The heart can create unlimited Lingqi like Amitabha Buddha. Purify into compassion and wisdom heart
- Goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land, it is also because of Buddhism Ling qi unlimited force

# Training Ling Qi Notes

- Observing  
  - We can take every ego serious, but it disappears all the same.  
    - It has the power to control us. But it is created by our pure essence.
    - We develop wisdom to be free from it. Back to essence trains this ability.
- Lingqi is also related to the idea of unlimited light
- Feel everything is for us to learn
- Feel appreciate towards everything able to learn to develop self and help others

# How Sifu trains it

- When training free from tension, he can sometimes see energy run in his body
- When train meditation can see inside the body
- Much wisdom appear because from training Taiji into meditation and then connect to Buddhism the wisdom appears by itself
- Sometimes he connects to Amitabha Buddha and his system and experience many spiritual lights, signs, see Buddhas, learn wisdom directly.
- Anytime into a discipline to be free from personal – energy trains from Jingqi become Lingqi
- What does it feel like?  
  - Firstly no gravity
  - Body melt open itself
  - Brain free no thinking
  - Heart feel open and joy
  - Wisdom rising itself
- You can also experience it from sincere bowing
- Sometimes you can use herbs
- Or you become open heart no think about yourself
- A stage of empty-mind stage – free stage mind observing philosophy
- Appreciative heart observe statue, life, wisdom – totally forgot yourself
- Pure Heart is where Lingqi comes from

# How other students train it

Ask other students if they might share their systems to put in here 🙂

- Zentim: Many of my sky-eye experiences came from the same process of training Taiji outside in nature and then observing nature and philosophy. Training happens a lot, and magic a couple of times a year which is the best odds I’ve found for myself 🙂  
  - Sequence  
    - Be in good condition neck and shouolders not much tension.
    - Stretching, increase heart rate hike, stretch opening and freeing the body, into Yi Jing Jin, train more centre,
    - Qigong and Taiji, relaxed no mental stress, forget myself for awhile,
    - Observe nature, read philosophy and be peaceful in nature.
    - Then sometimes magic happens. *Not sure if Lingqi??*  
      - Eyes or ears can open. Sometimes, I can hear far distance, like it is right next to me.
      - Sometimes eyes can zoom in very microscopic fine detail and back behind me so I can see myself simultaneously. Super cool 🙂 But never if I want it to happen.. enjoy training it.
### Taiji - Wuji - Yin Yang - How to Improve Your Kung Fu

Taiji

Wuji create Taiji

Taiji is 2 powers – Yin and Yang, able to go extreme to both sides at any moment, but remain in harmony.

So to become my own Sifu I must be able to be aware when I do 3 kinds of Taiji:

1: Too much Yang – appears as stiff, over stretched, tense, squeeze charge, incorrect procedure, 7 chakras laser line not straight, too much balloon, no curve, robotic, incorrect foot balance charge , one foot have 70-100% power and can switch

2: Too much Yin – relaxed but weak, lazy, no balloon, no stretch, legs not wide,

3: both in balance

### Bodhisattva Observing

Bodhisattva Observing

1\. Always check if have I returned to a previous blindness I thought I had freed myself from.

2\. What I’ve developed have I maintained what I’ve developed and have I also observed to go higher level.

Wisdom ability no one can give to you, you have to value it, be aware of it and disciplined to understand it and develop the ability. Can’t get it. No wisdom to get.  
  
The body comes from our subconsciousness.

If we don’t train our body to awaken our subconscious, then we will never awaken.

If you want to go to pure land you have to train, learn and develop this lifetime. Otherwise, why would you go there if you don’t truly care to learn and develop?

Amitabha Buddha pure land you right away receive Bodhisattva ability.

So you have to be ready for it. If you haven’t trained it would be too much of a jump for your consciousness.

Like going from animal Karma straight to human, too much of a sudden ability jump.

This is also why Amitabha Buddha created the temple, to help consciousness transition to pure land.

The thinking runs too slow, only intuition power in the pure land, Awaken 7 chakra energy all open.

100% concentration with joy ability. You have to work on this ability before going to pure land.

It’s a journey of development from now.

Two forces keep every blind life stuck in reincarnation forever.

1\. Not value true self – looking for happiness and contentment from external, possessive and value towards external materials more than your self being.

2\. Never enough – the grass is always greener, the trick of greed 😊🙏

### Learning Amitabha Buddha Pure Land Wills from the beginning, again
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/learning-amitabha-buddha-pure-land-wills-from-the-beginning-again/
Last updated: 2024-02-11T12:56:09.000Z
Learning Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land Wills from the beginning, again.

First, we watched the Amitabha Buddha 48 Wills Video – Link

Sifu talked about the purpose of this new set of classes is to learn to develop the skill of meditation. Where in regular life we can connect to our pure heart essence, and connect to Amitabha Buddha’s Will.

What is a Will?

Before we can understand what WILL means we can go back to check WHO is making these wills? What are we? Understanding who am I will help develop the foundations to create a successful will.

What drives all life forms behaviour?

Then we learn the only two reasons that drive our behaviours – away from suffering and towards joy.

A Will is a way to release suffering (from endless rebirth in a weak body in a strange unknown place without skills).

Amitabha Buddha’s Will is a way to create joy because he has a pure land (larger than the universe) to be reborn and learn to become a Bodhisattva.

What does Pure mean?

Pure means the 4 Eternal Hearts:

• Kindness without Ego  
• Care without Negative Personal Emotion  
• Joy without Stupidity  
• Freedom without Greed

But Pure means it can easily become dirty. So a Pure Heart is constantly practicing and learning wisdom to remain pure.

Free from our Greed

A great one we can focus on each day is to be free from our greed.

Remember Super Mario Bros? When you get a star and you’re invincible? What happens the moment it goes? Oh, sad, I need to get another one.

No matter how long it lasted, we would still be unhappy when it leaves.

Comparing appears – not as good anymore.  
Judgmental appears – it’s only fun when I have it, not fun now.  
Etc, etc…

Because we never had an appreciation heart to begin with, we cannot suddenly, after the suffering begin to APPRECIATE.

You ruin a cake recipe and suddenly throw some cream and chocolate on top… no sorry, have to throw it away and start again.

How to be free from our greed?

To be free from our greed, one word is enough.

Enough work, enough food, good enough, enough love, enough money, enough attention, enough lazy, enough. … insert any issue.

The more we observe ENOUGH in our lives, the closer happiness is to our hearts.

When enough appears as a calculation habit, we will create wiser causes for our lives.

Enough is when our heart is resting.

That is why Buddha said FREE means free from our own greedy heart.

True Dharma

True Dharma is not good or bad, it allows our consciousness to learn and create either way.

True Dharma can appear as anything but is not anything.

True Dharma is not anything so it is not stuck anywhere.

True Dharma can become anything that’s why life is incredible.

Awaken consciousness can use True Dharma to create pure land and help every life.

All blind consciousness through observing true Dharma can awaken to become Buddha.

That’s why Dharma is unlimited and incredible.

In this post:

- Further Explanations for Martial Arts and Philosophy Students
- Comparison with Jin Hong’s English explanation in most famous Wuxia of all time – *Legend of the Condor Heroes*

## Poem – Zhang Sanfeng

Freeze the emotion; sure the intention  
Abstract the body, recharge the energy  
Kill the heart, awaken the consciousness  
Sink power to spring point, explode

## Jin Hongs version

**思定则情忘，** 
**体虚则气运，** 
**心死则神活，** 
**阳盛则阴消。**

“Clear heart, Emotions departed.  
in an empty body, qi can spread  
A dead mind, Yet the spirit lives  
For Yin thrives, but the Yang is shed”

*– Master Ma Yu, Scarlett Sun, Elder of the 7 Immortals of the Quanzhen Sect*

## Introduction

- This philosophy is to help you observe philosophy. It is a training system to follow. It covers the essence, function and goal.
- Firstly, my character, ambitious, wants to get to the end without going through all the steps beforehand — so the first part of the poem helps me improve this character trait.
- This is a system to reach moving meditation.
- Way to awaken 8 Consciousness

## Couplet One: Freeze the Emotion, Sure the Intention

### Freeze the Emotion

1. The emotion here refers to Tai Chi Martial Art emotion. But we live in personal, human, ego-style emotions to support us to get what we want.
2. Taiji Emotion is a harmony-free feeling that goes extreme to both sides
3. If you don't have it, you can’t freeze it
4. Freeze our emotions because our emotion is what stops us from reaching high-level martial arts.
5. How to freeze it means to continue in the present to freeze it by sure the intention continually.

### Sure the intention

- Two levels – low-level and high-level
  - **Low level:**
    - Remind yourself to talk to yourself: power from foot, laser line up, shoulder relaxed, balloon.
    - Mental power guides you to live in the present moment.
    - Do it, then feel you are not doing it, stop, practice again.
    - This includes MELODY – la la la, say it inside, or 123, say something to be aware, present and disciplined.
  - **High-Level Intuition – Feeling:**
    - Feel it without saying it.
    - Copy someone really good at something — copy style.
    - Morph that feeling into martial arts through relaxation, stretching, dancing.
- Tai Chi has two sides:
  - Mathematical: angles, structure, mechanics
  - Artistic: flow, nature, emotion
- Using the map in a new place metaphor:
  - At first, you use a map carefully. Later, you move naturally.
- Tai Chi:
  - Two extremes: logic + abstract
  - They must harmonize.

## Couplet Two: Abstract the body, recharge the energy

### Abstract the body

- **Energy runs through abstract motion.**
- Abstract the body is to move in a way that makes it feel empty.
  - Like ocean waves vs. robotic dance
  - Playfulness and fluidity help develop this feeling
- Abstract feeling gives direction to how to recharge energy.

### Recharge the energy

- Drop first, then recharge
- Regular energy must be transformed into Qi
- Let go first, then move Qi
- Water-like — charge, relax

### Jing -> Qi -> Shen

- Free from Jing (physical strength)
- Create new energy from foot upwards
- Qi exists naturally but must be cultivated to be useful in martial arts

## Couplet Three: 心死则神活 – Kill the Heart, Awaken the Consciousness

### Kill the Heart

- Heart refers to all 8 consciousnesses
- Most translations blur "heart", "mind", and "spirit"
- Shen = awakened consciousness
- Literal: Heart dies, god lives
- This step requires training; it's not instant
- Awakening order: Emotion → Mental → Physical → Psychological ("I")
- Awakening leads to creative force:
  - Art power – natural being
  - Scientific – precise, detailed
  - Joyful intuitive balance

**Practice this:**

- Relax fully
- Vulnerability and softness lead to no tension
- Use this to create power in movement (e.g., like in *Shrek*)
- Progress: princess → water → steam
- Four elements in harmony:
  - Earth Power – Empty Heart Being
  - Water Flow – Diamond Force Awareness
  - Fire Power – Ice Cold Emotion
  - Wind Speed – Timeless Free Heart

### Awaken the Consciousness

- Naturally happens once you follow the above

## Sink power to spring point, explode

- Notes from Sifu: you can substitute “flow” for “explode” — procedure is the same, but function shifts.

If a leaf exists then the whole universe exists, if that leaf can disappear, then the universe is also an illusion and can disappear.

All illusion, all unlimited. All appear but never there.

That’s why Bodhisattva can be aware of unlimited wisdom.

Directly observing this eternal truth and remaining awakened.

Then develop more wisdom through helping others to awaken.

**Heart equals awareness ability**  
8 heart king  
The heart has 8 functions

The eternal truth of time, space and consciousness.

**Observing Self-Being Bodhisattva**  
The highest Bodhisattva respectful calling

**Bodhisattva**  
Developing Buddha awareness and compassion to help every life awaken.

**Observing self-being, blind and awaken**  
Blind observing self-being  
The searching heart is possessive towards external observation and creates greed, hate, stupidity and never enough.

# 4 levels Awaken observing self-being

1\. Observing blind habit, created by causation dharma  
2\. Observing the observer is not what we observe; observing is the self-being dharma  
3\. Observing 4 eternal heart developing, which is observing the internal pure land  
4\. Observing, unlimited, external wisdom, Dharma. Which is observing external pure land creation

Deeply developed Por Ler bor Ler me duo. Follow 4 eternal hearts to develop the 6 Bodhisattva characters.

Which is:  
Generosity, discipline, patience, concentration, meditation, and wisdom.

Brightly aware, the five developments are empty.

Brightly aware  
Eight consciousnesses truly aware

Five developments  
Illusion being, receiving, thinking, acting and awareness

Illusion being – body and surroundings

Receiving, thinking, acting and awareness – the ability of consciousness

Are empty  
All space is created by heart. All appearance are aware by consciousness.

Our 8 heart king creates all the appearance. But the eight heart king has no form. Whatever is created by the heart is dream illusion, bubble, shadow, so both are empty, heart and creation.!

Release all the suffering and pain  
In the dream, they are unlimited reincarnation. All the space and time in a dream is never truly there. Because so, suffering never exists.

# 🚫 The 5 Blind Habits: Our Obstacles to Understanding Dharma 🌺

##   
  
🐍 Greed: The Impurity Trap
  
  
Greed captivates our hearts and minds. Our greed makes our hearts so impure that we can no longer observe anything. We are not free to observe ourselves, let alone the complex system of life (Dharma.)

##   
  
🔥 Anger: The Fire That Burns Wisdom
  
  
Lost in the whirlpool of anger, our mental state becomes too agitated to be sensitive to life. Like stirring up water, it takes time to settle and clear. To observe life, we can return to calmness and concentration, away from anger.

##   
  
🐌 Laziness: The Foe of Focus
  
  
Being lazy zaps us of the energy, patience, and discipline needed to concentrate on Dharma. Without these qualities, we stop our own ability to shine through. This further reduces our capacity to understand life’s tricks.

##   
  
🌧️ Moodiness: The Barrier to Discipline
  
  
When we’re moody, maintaining discipline becomes a huge task. The ups and downs of life become even higher up and even further down! Then, we are not observing outside, and we focus inside. We are like an ostrich that sticks its head in the ground. This stops us from reaching our natural ability to meditate. In this zone, we will struggle to find the inner peace and pure heart necessary to observe Dharma.

##   
  
👁️ Blind Doubt: The Illusory Power
  
  
Doubt about Dharma or Buddhist philosophy creates a mental fog. Our ego celebrates the ability to question. Yet, this ‘power is counterproductive to the development of wisdom. We stay satisfied with our doubt and forget to keep observing life. This is a recipe for ignorance.

##   
  
🛑 In Conclusion
  
  
Breaking through these habits will help us learn life deeper and faster. When we are brave enough to challenge these, we will unlock immense inner force. Unlocking the door to deeper wisdom and freedom.

# **Understanding the Heart Sutra: A Simple Guide**

The [Heart Sutra](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2023/10/11/the-heart-sutra/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) is a bit like a guidebook to understanding our own minds and the world around us.

Imagine you’re playing a video game. In the game, you have missions to complete, obstacles to overcome, and rewards to gain. The Heart Sutra is like the instruction manual that comes with the game, explaining how to we should play it best.

1. **Observing Self-being & 6 Bodhisattva Characters:**  
Think of ‘self-being’ as looking in a mirror and really seeing who you are. The 6 Bodhisattva characters? They’re a bit like the top 6 skills or qualities you need to master in the [game of life](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2021/10/16/the-game-of-life/?ref=dropsofdharma.com). By practicing these skills, you level up.
2. **The Five Developments Are Empty:**  
This sounds a bit puzzling, right? Imagine you’ve been chasing after a treasure in your game. But when you finally get to it, you find out it was a decoy. That’s what this means. A lot of things we chase after in life (like money, fame, or other rewards) don’t always bring us the happiness or satisfaction we thought they would. So, in the Heart Sutra, they’re saying, “Hey, some of these things you’re stressing about? They’re not as important as you think.”
3. **Understanding Illusions:**  
Have you ever had a dream that felt super real, but then you woke up? Our minds can play tricks on us, making us believe things that aren’t true or making us see things that aren’t there. The sutra teaches us to spot these “mind tricks” and not get fooled by them.
4. **Reaching A Higher Level:**  
Just like in a game, when you understand the rules, practice your skills, and don’t get fooled by decoys, you get experience points and level up. In our lives, this means developing new abilities, enjoying new experiences, feeling more at peace, being open hearted, feeling happier, and understanding things deeper. You stop worrying about the small stuff and start seeing the bigger picture.
5. **Becoming A Buddha:**  
This doesn’t mean turning into a wooden statue! It’s about reaching the highest level in the ‘game of life’. It’s when you’ve mastered all the skills, you truly understand the world around you, and help others become the same.

So, the next time life feels confusing, or you’re unsure what move to make, think of the [Heart Sutra](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2023/10/11/the-heart-sutra/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) as your game guide. It’s there to help you navigate, level up, and ultimately win the game!

# Deciphering the Heart Sutra: A Journey to Spiritual Awakening

*Philosophy Class Transcript*

The Heart Sutra is the technique of how to awaken.

The first two lines of the Heart Sutra immediately teach you two methods to awaken:

- Observing self-being
- 6 Bodhisattva characters.

It then explains that if you genuinely practice these methods, you will realise that the five developments are empty.

This provides a benchmark to determine if you are truly training. If you’ve mastered the techniques of observing self-being and the 6 Bodhisattva characters, you’ll understand that the 5 developments are empty.

You will gain insight into consciousness and illusion, recognising their emptiness.

## **So, what are the outcomes of this realisation in the Heart Sutra?**

- All suffering and pain will dissipate.
- You’ll recognise that all your senses are illusory and won’t longer dominate your heart.
- You will become aware of your essence, which is eternal; it has no beginning or end, never appears or disappears, and is neither dirty nor clean. It remains unchangeable, always 100% pure without form.

The sutra continues, guiding you to assess the depth of your understanding.

When you achieve this state of awareness, you’ll realise there is no wisdom to reach.

Concepts of birth, ageing, illness, and death will dissolve.

Once your heart liberates itself from these false notions, their perceived reality vanishes. This is analogous to waking from a dream: in sleep, you may experience suffering, but upon waking, the dream and its sufferings disappear.

The notion of “no wisdom to get” emphasises the illusory nature of our perceived reality, likening it to a grand theatre where nothing, not even wisdom, is truly attainable.

The sutra encourages you to evaluate your spiritual progress continually.

Once you’ve reached this profound level of understanding, cultivated the 6 Bodhisattva characters, and aided every being in awakening, you are on the path to becoming a Buddha.

The sutra underscores the importance of developing oneself and then sharing this with others. It declares that every Buddha achieved enlightenment by following this path, offering a standard against which you can measure your own journey towards awakening.

# What is the Heart Sutra?

## Heart Sutra Translation

POR LER BOR LOUR ME DUO SHING CHING

Wiki link [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart%5FSutra?ref=dropsofdharma.com):

This is the book of consciousness (true heart) philosophy for using wisdom to observe and be aware of the eternal truth of life.

Observing Self-Being Bodhisattva developed deep wisdom to observe and be aware of the truth of life. After that, he became brightly aware that the five developments (Illusion being, receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness) are empty, and he released all suffering and pain.

Buddha said to his student: Sir Li Tsö, Illusion being (the body and its surrounding) is not different from Emptiness, and Emptiness is not different from Illusion Being. Illusion Being is Emptiness, Emptiness is Illusion Being. Receiving, thinking, acting, and awareness are also Emptiness.

He continued: Sir Li Tsö, the essence of Dharma (consciousness) has no form, never appears nor disappears, is neither dirty nor clean, and is never added to nor subtracted from.

Because this is so, Emptiness (the true essence of Dharma) has: No Illusion Being

No Receiving, thinking, acting, or awareness  
No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind  
No form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or Dharma (the appearance of all life

form)  
No limit to the awareness of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching,

or thinking  
No blind awareness

No aging and death

No suffering, acquiring, destroying, or learning No wisdom and nothing to get

Because he becomes aware of that the truth of life is consciousness and Illusion Being, and both truly are emptiness. He understands that there is nothing to get from life. Then, as Bodhisattva, he helps people become aware of the truth of life.

From deep awareness of the truth of life, his heart becomes free. Because his heart is free he has no fear and is awakened from dream illusions. Thus, he reaches Nirvana.

Because all Buddha’s develop completely the Por Ler wisdom to observe and be aware of the truth of life, they reach the development of limitless complete awareness.

This is why Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is: The philosophy to reach Buddha Consciousness; The philosophy of unlimited bright awareness; The highest philosophy of the truth of life;

The philosophy that explains how incredible the truth of life is; The philosophy that can release the suffering from any form of life; The true philosophy without blind awareness

So the meaning of Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is to help people become aware of the truth of life. Truly, it is to help people become aware of the truth of life.

Por Ler Bor Lour Me Duo Shing Ching is the philosophy to help people most quickly develop complete unlimited awareness.

# Cultivating Kindness: A Six-Step Journey through the Kindness Hearts Meditation. Part 1

**So how do we find inner peace?**

Is it waiting for us? Must we create it?

This Kindness Hearts Meditation is one way we can grow it ourselves.

It comes from the wisdom of Siddhartha Buddha in the Metta Sutra. 

He shared a profound and structured approach to cultivating kindness towards oneself. And then how to radiate it out to all living beings — past, present, and future.

It is a great feeling please try it!

This meditation encourages us to tap into our inner force. A force that can spread our compassion outwards like warmth from the sun. It can touch our hearts and others.

Let’s explore the steps of this meditation and the deeper layers of meaning they unveil.

## Step 1: Self-Compassion — Nurturing the Kindness Within

Kindness Keart has two sides. One side is loving life.

This is the natural seed of kindness inside of us we can nurture. If we did not have this seed we can never grow our kindness.

But to nurture this powert to grow stronger we need the other – the wisdom farmer to take care of it.

Children only have one side. That is why their loving life power often brings them pain and suffering. 

As adults most of us have lost this orginal power and are stuck in “wisdom farmer” stage. Where everything is serious and heavy. 

### Practice:

- Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing your mind to settle.
- The first step of the Kindness Hearts Meditation involves observing. Observing what? Observing your thoughts and emotions.
- Like you are sitting on the edge of a river watching water flow past you. No one drop of water is more important than the other.
- Or like the leaves and sticks floating on the water. They twist and flow and disappear as well. Back to flowing.
- In this neurtal zone, go back to find your memories as a child. Joy and fun and play and adventure. You can be anything. Imagination free. No filter between thoughts and feelings and speech!
- Enjoy this zone for as long as you like.
- Try to bring it into your daily life step by step.

We do not need to create new kindness to ourselves in this way. We first must go back to find it.

We never lose this power. That is how amazing life is!

This is self-kindness: the self as pure kindness heart with the force to guide it through developing wisdom.

This feeling can also graduate into appreciation or feeling lucky, then it migth be a sign you are ready for step two.

## Step 2: Expanding Kindness – Radiating to Others
  
  
Having nurtured self-kindness, shift your focus to extending this warmth to others. Visualize your heart glowing with kindness, and imagine this radiance reaching out to touch the hearts of those around you – your loved ones, acquaintances, and even those you may not know well. This step involves developing a genuine wish for the well-being and happiness of all beings. As you do this, you’ll likely notice a sense of connection and empathy blossoming within you.

##   
  
Step 3: Healing the Past – Kindness to Forgotten Karma
  
  
Now, redirect your kindness towards the past. Reflect on your previous actions and any karmic connections that might have caused pain knowingly or unknowingly. This step encourages you to heal and reconcile with your past actions by extending kindness towards them. Doing so releases any lingering guilt or negativity, fostering a sense of forgiveness and growth.

##   
  
Step 4: Embracing the Future – Kindness to Unknown Lives
  
  
As you progress, shift your attention to the future. Envision encounters with beings you’ve never met – strangers, animals, and even life forms beyond our comprehension. Cultivate a kind heart that extends to these unknown lives, wishing them happiness, safety, and freedom from suffering. This forward-looking kindness opens your heart to the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.

##   
  
Step 5: Eternal Sunshine of Kindness
  
  
Imagine your kindness as a radiant sun, perpetually shining in the sky of your heart. This visualization symbolizes the eternal nature of kindness – a force that continues to illuminate even in challenging times. Just as the sun provides warmth and light to all, your kind heart provides comfort and support for every being you encounter.

##   
  
Step 6: Universal Kindness – Embracing All of Existence
  
  
In the final step, expand your kindness beyond the limitations of time and space. Envision your heart as vast as the universe, radiating kindness towards all corners of existence – past, present, and future. Just like the teachings of Siddhartha Buddha, this step reminds us that kindness transcends boundaries and encompasses the entire tapestry of life.

##   
  
Conclusion
  
  
The Kindness Hearts Meditation, as inspired by the Metta Sutra, guides us on a journey of compassion and self-discovery. Its six progressive steps teach us to cultivate kindness towards ourselves, others, our past, the future, and all of existence. This practice is a powerful reminder that kindness is not just an act, but a state of being that has the potential to transform lives and shape a more compassionate world. As we immerse ourselves in this meditation, we unlock the infinite capacity of our hearts to shine with the light of kindness, making our own lives and those around us brighter and more meaningful.

Introduction

Life is getting faster and faster, so where can we find inner peace?

A meditation practice is aa way to create this space, a tranquil oasis, offering a sanctuary for self-discovery.

The journey through meditation is not just a path of mindfulness, but a passage of profound self-awareness and transformation. Delving into the intricacies of this sacred art, we explore five stages that hold the potential to unlock the secrets of our mind and spirit.

**Stage 1: Observing Without Intention**

Meditation commences with a simple yet profound act: observation without intention. Settle into a comfortable position, gently close your eyes, and begin to observe the stream of thoughts flowing through your mind. Rather than engaging with them, let them drift by like leaves on a tranquil stream. This stage lays the foundation for mindfulness, teaching us to detach from our thoughts and merely be an observer.

**Stage 2: Back to Innocence – The Buddha Smile Technique**

At times, the weight of life’s complexities can obscure the innate joy within us. The Buddha Smile technique invites us to reconnect with that childlike innocence. Visualize the serene smile of the Buddha and let it radiate from within you. As you do, feel the burdens of worries and stresses melt away, leaving a sense of calmness and purity. This technique gently reminds us that our essence is rooted in simplicity and joy.

**Stage 3: Whole Body Breathing**

The rhythm of our breath is a gateway to the present moment, a thread that connects our inner world with the outer universe. In this stage, focus on your breath, allowing it to guide your awareness through your body. With each inhalation and exhalation, visualize the breath flowing harmoniously, oxygenating each cell and creating a sense of unity between your body and mind.

**Stage 4: Seeing Beyond Good and Bad – Embracing Relativity**

Our judgments and categorizations often shape our perceptions of the world. In this stage, let go of the concepts of good and bad, right and wrong. Recognize that these notions are relative, subject to personal interpretation and societal conditioning. By releasing these judgments, you open yourself to a deeper understanding of the world that transcends dualities and embraces the diverse spectrum of human experience.

**Stage 5: Observing the Observer**

As meditation unfolds, a fascinating realization dawns: you are not just your thoughts; you are the observer of those thoughts. Direct your attention to the one observing, the silent witness within you. This stage unravels the layers of your identity, inviting you to connect with the core of your being, the unchanging essence that transcends the fluctuations of thought and emotion.

**Conclusion: Navigating the Inner Cosmos**

Embarking on the journey of meditation is akin to exploring the cosmos within. The stages we’ve explored – observing without intention, invoking innocence, breathing unity, embracing relativity, and connecting with the observer – form a roadmap that guides us to the depths of our consciousness. As we tread this path, we uncover the treasures of self-awareness, wisdom, and serenity that reside within us. If you’re interested in delving deeper into the “Buddha Smile Technique,” a technique that encapsulates the essence of innocent joy, you can find more information in this [article](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2015/08/06/buddha-smile-technique/?ref=dropsofdharma.com). Remember, the journey of meditation is a personal odyssey, one that promises not just tranquillity, but also a profound connection with your true self.

# Life is a journey.

Life is a journey and a journey is an illusion.

Enjoying this illusion comes from not chasing

because the destination is the present.

What to do in the present? Practice Observing Self-Being

Because the present is always changing, observing it is always fresh and new.

But our suffering can keep on repeating.

So through observing, we can clean out all of our blindness. 

Then suffering disappears.

Wisdom then appears as a prize for that discipline.

Joy appears as a bonus

Wisdom and joy make you feel free.

Trying to change the world is heavy.

But enjoy developing and improving yourself and cleaning out all the blindness.

**That’s the best journey.**

The willing heart to want to be aware of the perfect development of your nature.

No beginning, no end. 

To be aware that every life equally has perfect seeds. 

But perfect seeds need to develop and grow.

So be a good farmer.

Help yourself and every life awaken to become their perfect nature.

## Summary of life is a journey:

The best journey of true Life is :

Enjoy developing wisdom towards yourself and sharing the kindness hearts with others  
😄☯️☸️🙏🐉💚

### Further explanation of life is a journey:

The Best Journey of Life

Life is often described as a journey, and this notion carries profound wisdom when we delve deeper into its meaning. In this article, we’ll explore the concept of life as an illusion and the practical advice it offers for finding joy, wisdom, and personal growth in the present moment.

Enjoying the illusion of life comes from not constantly chasing after goals and destinations. We are conditioned to believe that happiness lies in reaching specific milestones or achievements, but this mindset keeps us trapped in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction. Instead, the true destination lies in the present moment. It is essential to be fully present and engaged in what we are doing now, rather than constantly yearning for something else.

**So, what should we do in the present?** The answer lies in “Practicing Observing Self-Being.” The present moment is ever-changing, and observing it with awareness brings a sense of freshness and novelty to our experiences. However, our suffering often stems from repeatedly falling into the same patterns and habits.

Mindfully observing ourselves can identify and address our blind spots and unhealthy behaviours. This practice helps us to gradually liberate ourselves from suffering, leading to the emergence of wisdom as a reward for our discipline.

Wisdom is not the only gift that comes from practising self-awareness. Joy, too, becomes a companion on this journey. As we cleanse ourselves from suffering, we make space for genuine happiness and contentment to blossom. Wisdom and joy create a sense of freedom that cannot be attained by chasing external accomplishments.

While the desire to change the world and make a difference can be noble, it can also be overwhelming and burdensome. Instead of focusing on changing the external world, the best journey lies in working on ourselves. By embracing self-development and continually striving to improve, we become agents of positive change within our sphere of influence.

A key aspect of this journey is clearing the blindness that clouds our perception of reality. This blindness often prevents us from seeing the perfection within ourselves and every living being. Just like seeds that possess the potential for greatness, we all carry seeds of perfection within us. However, these seeds require nurturing and growth to reach their full potential.

Becoming skilled farmers, we must cultivate and care for these seeds within ourselves and extend our kindness to help others awaken to their inherent perfection.

Time does not limit this journey, as there is no clear beginning or end. It is a continuous process of self-discovery, growth, and compassion towards others. Each day presents us with opportunities to develop wisdom, spread kindness, and realize the perfect nature within us all. You can even learn more about the Heart Sutra [here](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2020/07/03/heart-sutra-essence-function-goal/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) or [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart%5FSutra?ref=dropsofdharma.com).

In conclusion, life is a journey, not about rushing towards external goals or achievements but about embracing the present moment. By practising self-awareness, we can cleanse ourselves of suffering, leading to the emergence of wisdom and joy. Instead of trying to change the world, the best journey involves developing ourselves and nurturing the seeds of perfection within us and others. So, let us embark on this beautiful journey of personal growth, wisdom, and kindness, and discover the freedom that comes from living in the present moment. 😄☯️☸️🙏🐉💚
### Amazing 7 Chakras: The Energy Centers of the Body

Last updated: 2023-11-28T01:52:03.000Z
# **7 Chakras**

The body has important [energy centres](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2018/10/07/7-chakras-2/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) called chakras that impact physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness.

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2022/02/CHAKRAS2-295x300.png)

## **The Body’s Meridians and Nerve Points**

Before delving into the concept of chakras, it’s essential to have a grasp of meridians and nerve points.

In our body, meridians serve as a network of freeways, facilitating the transfer of diverse information to distinct areas. On the other hand, nerve points act as junctions between meridian lines, enabling a seamless traffic flow.

When a nerve point gets blocked, it is like a traffic jam at an intersection when no traffic is moving: the body becomes stiff and painful. This blockage can occur due to stress (too many cars going through the junction) or physical trauma (a car accident). All these nerve systems connect to our centre core (the spine), bringing us to Chakras.

## **Defining the 7 Chakras: The Body’s Energy Airports**

Did you know that our body has main [energy centres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra?ref=dropsofdharma.com) called chakras?

These chakras are connected to our nervous system and meridian lines in a complex way.

Think of a chakra as an airport, allowing an aeroplane to fly to a different destination, with the path being similar to the meridian lines in our body. The energy that enables the aeroplane to fly represents our blood and nervous system.

Our body has 7 main airports or chakras that serve as transit lines to the many different smaller nerve points, which can be likened to smaller airports.

## Names of the 7 Chakras

### **The 7 Chakras are** **Desire, Passion, Physical, Emotion, Thinking, Intuition, and Perfect Free Consciousness**

The seven chakras, each carrying a different function relating to a particular activity in life, include:

1. **Desire Chakra (1st Chakra)**: Also known as Desire Ocean, it symbolises the power of wanting and supports the needs of sex, eating, possession, fame, and power to control other lives.
2. **Passion Chakra (2nd Chakra)**: Passion Lights control the body’s temperature, motivating the desire to go further.
3. **Physical Chakra (3rd Chakra)**: Known as Physical Activity, it unites different energy speeds to become various forms and is the sports power and action of making Desire a reality.
4. **Emotion Chakra (4th Chakra)**: Named Healing Heart or Black Hole Heart, it cures life forms and develops the relationships between Individual I and others.
5. **Thinking Chakra (5th Chakra)**: Known as Observing Truth, it observes, recognizes, memorizes, and organizes all the experiences of existence while searching for the true meaning behind all of these.
6. **Intuition Chakra (6th Chakra)**: Named Time Circle; Wisdom Light, it directly recognises the true meaning behind all the signs, forms, behaviours, and actions in unlimited time.
7. **Perfect Free Consciousness Chakra (7th Chakra)**: Known as Incredible Unlimited Dharma; Perfect Illusion Wonder Space; Completely Kind, Caring, Joyful and Free Consciousness, it connects to unlimited time and space and holds unlimited force.

#### What do the 7 chakras mean

The 7 chakras are indeed an incredible secret force inside us. They control our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, shaping our life journey and leading us towards or away from our destiny. Unleashing these chakras’ power can change one’s life in profound and positive ways. By understanding and nurturing each of these seven energy centres, you can tap into your body’s full potential and live a healthier, happier, and more harmonious life.

##### **7 Chakras Deep Dive: A Deeper Understanding of Desire**

Desire is neutral. Neither good nor bad. It can be good, and it can be bad.

Without the wisdom to decipher our desires, we steer our life in one or more of the following nine directions:

1. **Survival**: The fundamental instinct to stay alive in the present.
2. **Sustained Survival**: The need to ensure continuous existence.
3. **Material Security**: The desire to gather materials supporting continued survival.
4. **Relational Security**: The urge to forge relationships that reinforce the first three desires. This involves gaining love, popularity, and fame.
5. **Control**: A more potent force ensuring survival than relationships can offer. Control manipulates support from others, irrespective of their feelings, leading to a false sense of security. Political control is the highest human level of this desire.
6. **Control Through Knowledge**: The motivation driving scientists to utilize knowledge for control. This form of control establishes more security than politics, as it manipulates both people and their environment.
7. **Control Through Religion**: Using religion to exploit people’s fear of death. This desire is intertwined with the fifth one, and corrupted the sixth one, as manipulating deep-seated fears proves a powerful means to secure material wealth.
8. **Control Over Space**: The ambition to gain direct control over space, transcending the limitations of material accumulation and human manipulation. This desire can manifest as an energy god, striving for a harmonious society, or an energy devil, desiring power at the expense of others’ suffering. However, both these forms are ephemeral as they will disappear when space eventually vanishes.
9. **Emptiness**: A desire to detach from all things material, ultimately leading to a state devoid of form. This formless state frees you from the cycle of birth and death but also instigates feelings of loneliness as it impedes growth. Despite pursuing freedom from material control, one is still influenced by the ever-changing power of the Ego.

Each of these nine desires stems from blindness, generating suffering.

True liberation from this suffering can only be achieved when we recognize our desire-habits and acknowledge their blind nature. In the light of awareness, we can successfully navigate our desires and turn them into tools for personal growth and fulfilment.

# Introduction to Dharma Meditation:

In the Buddhism philosophy class, we learned about Dharma meditation – including what Dharma is, awakening through meditation and observation techniques. The class aimed to help students improve their meditation practice and develop their observation skills.

First, learn meditation ability – every I is not me. Second, practice observing.

No I can see the unlimited system of life – Dharma – only free from every I can see Dharma. This training is to open that up.

Lets go!

# Theory of Dharma Meditation:

The class started with an explanation of Dharma, which refers to the system in which everything exists.

This includes reincarnation, the human experience, and even death. When we awaken to this system, we realize how incredible it is. Buddha and Bodhisattva often talk about the incredible nature of Dharma.

## What is Dharma?

The class focused on back-to-essence techniques such as the No-I feeling to understand Dharma.

We were advised that the first true Dharma practice is to clean our dirty faces but not with a dirty hand.

This means that we should not use human tricks to clear human tricks but rather free ourselves from every trick and return to our essence.

## The No-I feeling practice

Involves understanding that the feeling of choice or intention that we associate with ourselves is not our true self.

Every lifetime, we create new choices and causes that become habits and shape our identity, but none of these choices is truly us.

The feeling of choice or intention is a blind action that creates an I feeling. But our true I is never this blind feeling from the outside.

**Our True I can never come from outside.**

## Practical Exercise:

The practical exercise began with an explanation of the theory above. Students were then instructed to sit peacefully and close their eyes.

We recalled our old identities, such as being a baby, kid, teenager, or adult, and realized that none of these is truly us anymore.

By disconnecting from past causation, we can experience a different kind of feeling in the present that is not connected to our previous habits and choices.

The exercise aimed to train a new habit of experiencing a light feeling in the present, disconnected from the causation of our past. This practice aims to develop observation skills and meditation practice.

Summary:

In summary, the class focused on understanding Dharma and awakening through meditation and observation techniques. We learned that everything exists in a system of Dharma, including reincarnation and death. The No-I feeling practice aimed to help us return to our essence by disconnecting from our past habits and choices. The practical exercise was designed to develop observation skills and meditation practice by experiencing a light feeling in the present, disconnected from our past.

# Meditation: 3 Ways to Change Our Life Frequency

## Summary of Changing Our Life Frequency

## Introduction to Life Frequency

Tai Chi is a frequency that helps with moving meditation and training in it helps individuals become aware of their body.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2023/02/Tim_F_Meditation_is_teaching_us_how_to_break_the_limitation_of__4b4610ac-b938-4a80-8d2e-b53e22e12489-300x300.jpg)

Everything in life is a frequency, and humans exist in a 6-sense frequency.  
Meditation can help individuals break the limitations of human frequency and connect to different frequencies.  
Tai Chi is a frequency that helps with moving meditation and training in it helps individuals become aware of their body.

- - - **Whatever we experience is just a frequency.** ‘Human’ is a human-zone frequency.
    - You can tune into the frequency and hear a sound with a radio.
    - As humans, we are in a 6-sense frequency (The brain being the 6th sense.)
    - We can connect to unlimited frequencies.
    - Meditation teaches us how to break the limitation of ‘human frequency’ and teach us how to connect to different frequencies.
    - There are unlimited systems of meditation, and each one can bring you to a different frequency.
    - If there are unlimited frequencies in life, then what is reality? **There is no limit to reality.**
    - **Let’s begin with Tai Chi.**

![Yin Yang Tai Chi Moving Meditation - Meditation Life Frequency](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2013/08/Tim_F_swirling_ying_yang_logo__yellow_black_white_878d545f-6eec-47ba-b179-fb0007e2095b-300x300.png)

Yin Yang Tai Chi Moving Meditation

## Tai Chi Moving Meditation is a Frequency

- - - Tai Chi brings you to a moving meditation frequency
    - Tai Chi is a good frequency for the Earth for humans, which is why [FuShi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuxi?ref=dropsofdharma.com) drew a sign to help us learn it.
    - When [Abstract Martial Art Emperor Fushi](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2018/10/07/extreme-perfect-taiji-dragon-breathe-fu-shi/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) drew the Tai Chi sign for humans, it was drawn in 2D, but in reality, it must be in 3D.
    - Bring a whole curve to your body – the secret of Fushi
    - Whole body curve – called a curving wave
    - The whole universe is a curving wave – no straight lines in the universe.  
      - Sometimes straight lines in a short distance, over long distances, are curving.
      - Even light from a far distance is curving around space and time
      - Every atom is turning. Turning is a curve as well
      - So straight is not possible
    - Training Tai Chi to become aware of our body helps us to experience a new frequency. This is a preparation to access more frequencies.
    - Without this training as a foundation, we will struggle to develop the self-confidence to continue training further.

> **What is reality? There is no limit to reality.**

- - We experience life as having limits. We still feel limited because our awareness ability (our consciousness) is not yet developed enough.
  - For example, the Sun has not disappeared when we experience nighttime on Earth. From our current position, we cannot see the sun. But the sun is still there.
  - Buddha taught that if you take only what you experience as life, you are stuck in that reality.
  - But Buddha explained [Dharma](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2022/11/28/awakening-poem/?ref=dropsofdharma.com), the complete system of life, is incredible. Once we understand Dharma, our hearts will shine with wisdom and joy to share this. But we don’t experience it as incredible because we cannot see.
  - That’s why we are learning Buddhism, to help us break the limitation to see unlimited brightness.
  - Learning meditation is to help us break the limitation of being human.

### Life Frequency and The Heart Sutra

- - The first line of the Heart Sutra says ‘brightly aware.’This brightness comes from breaking our limitations.
  - Once we break our limitations, there is no such thing as blindness anymore.
  - Walk into a dark room. Lights on, and darkness disappears.
  - But the light off, and darkness reappears.
  - So wisdom is not one time to be wise. It is an ability. Meditation can help us to continually develop our ability until the momentum cannot be stopped. This is an awakened heart that will soon become a Bodhisattva.

### Life Frequency and the Wave of Intention.

- - The surface of the water is still. Then a stone is tossed into the water, and the surface of the water breaks and rings expand outwards from the centre.
  - They call this frequency idea in Buddhism a wave of intention from the heart. All the consciousness (hearts) joined together.
  - So the Six Realms of Reincarnation (of which one is humans) is a connection through frequency.
  - Only the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can transit between realms through frequency.

### How can life frequency help us understand Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land Universe?

- - Awakened Pure Land is from the wave of an awakened heart
  - Our essence is the same as Buddhas.
  - So our hearts can create unlimited universes like Amitabha Buddha.
  - But we are blind, so we create a blind body in a blind space and experience suffering. This is called reincarnation.

### How Can Life Frequency Help Us to Observe Our Lives?

- - Even though our hearts can create in these two directions – blind direction creates suffering. But from experiencing suffering, we observe and analyse our life, and our suffering and develop the wisdom to get out of suffering and back to joy. The Heart Sutra calls this Observing Self Being.
  - This is another kind of meditation. Observing Self-Being Meditation

### How do we practice Observing Self-Being Meditation?

- - Observe 3 Eternal Dharma Truths  
    - All the forms are constantly changing.
    - There is no such thing as individuality. Everything is connected. Changes come from the other.
    - Nirvana, complete freedom is silent.
  - Once we take time to observe this philosophy, it can appear more and more for us.
  - Over time we realise that all of this is awareness, but not the awareness ability. Then the heart can find a way back to the essence.

## What is the first frequency we should practice? Back to our Pure Essence.

- - Essence means original. Nothing can come before the essence.
  - Essence can never appear. Because whatever appears is changing. Something that never appears, never changes, remains calm and unlimited.
  - Essence is free from suffering, joyful, and unlimited possibilities, but not completely perfect.
  - So practicing going back to a life frequency of pureness is a great foundation for our development.
### A Surprising Insight About Freedom According to the Buddha
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/what-is-freedom/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:09.000Z
# How can we enjoy freedom if we don’t understand the word, Free?

The more definitions we have – the more pathways we can take to reach it.

What subject is even more important than any job, career or identity?  
  
**The subject of Freedom!**  
  
Here are many ways awakened consciousness, like the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, describe freedom to help us enjoy life.  
  
**Free? Our hearts are naturally, always free.** But at a human level, we cannot feel it because we keep creating the 3 poison consciousness: greed, hate and stupidity. So out of those, we are back to our nature – freedom!  
  
**Free is a feeling.** To feel free.  
  
**Free is an ability in two directions:** Free to live without pain and suffering. Free to create and share the joy with others.  
  
**Freedom is freedom of movement.** Physically free. Tai Chi training and moving meditation help us to remain free.  
  
**Free is Buddha’s power –** to create a Pure Universe to help others develop wisdom.  
  
**Free is an awakened ability.** All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are free.  
  
**Free is free from what?** Searching. When the heart stops searching, then we are back to free. This is the idea of meditation.  
  
**Free from blindly being born again and again in a suffering place.** Free from blind reincarnation. Make a will to be reborn into [Buddha’s Pure Land](http://www.amitabhabuddha.com.au/?ref=dropsofdharma.com), so our levels never drop.  
  
**Free is harmony.** Middle way. Don’t blindly follow, not against anything, and remain free. Difficult because life is constantly changing, so one needs many systems to remain free.  
  
**Free is meditation,** deep awareness not following internal or external blind causation influence you. Steady means the heart has a central system, not blind.  
  
**Free means no limitation** – not limited in any way. True Freedom!  
  
**Freedom is when your senses are open in all directions.**  
  
**Freedom is when you hold nothing**, nothing holds you, and you create no bad karma. Your future only going to be and stay free.  
  
**Freedom is to [observe our self-being](http://www.heartsutrawisdom.com/summary-one.html?ref=dropsofdharma.com)**. Self-awareness creates an ability to improve ourselves. Then we can create momentum to keep improving ourselves. That is freedom.  
  
So is there an all-encompassing way to find freedom?  
  
Whenever I think of Buddha: good statues or images, their smiling.  
  
Whenever I read their stories and philosophies, I think, wow, how can any lifeform explain life in such a detailed, clear, complete way?  
  
Their will to help everyone awaken. I feel my heart can be like theirs.  
  
Then I feel truly free as a direction for my life.  
  
They are already free, in reality, as an ability.  
  
I hope you enjoyed these many definitions of freedom from Buddhist Wisdom!  
  
May your hearts always remain free.

![Definition of Freedom](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2023/01/Tim_F_consciousness_awakened_wisdom_compassion_lotus_flower_gal_da9eb23d-4ea9-43b6-b273-8b8f0761aa72-300x300.png)

### Summary of What is Freedom:

In summary, freedom is a key concept in Buddhism and is understood in many ways. It is described as a feeling, an ability to live without pain and suffering, and the power to create a pure universe. It is also described as free from searching, blind reincarnation, and limitations. Freedom is achievable through meditation, deep awareness, and self-awareness. The ultimate goal is to become like the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, who are already free in reality and can help others awaken. The key to enjoying freedom is to remain open in all directions and to hold nothing so nothing holds us and we do not create bad karma.

## Practical exercises suggested above for feeling more free include:

- Tai Chi training and moving meditation help with physical freedom and freedom of movement.
- Meditation helps with stopping the heart from searching and finding inner peace.
- Self-awareness to improve oneself and create momentum towards self-improvement.
- Observing self-being to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and the nature of reality.
- Make a will to be reborn into a Buddha’s Pure Land, to improve one’s level and avoid blind reincarnation.
- The practice of the [4 Eternal Hearts](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2017/07/17/dharma-joy-four-eternal-hearts/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) is to develop pure spiritual karma.
- The use of systems such as the Hell Bodhisattva system and Amitabha Buddha Pure Land System to purify karma and reach enlightenment.
### Strengthening Our Inner Force: The Three Stages to Develop Our Consciousness
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/inner-force-consciousness/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:08.000Z
# Strengthening Our Inner Force

In our practical Buddhist philosophy class last night, we discussed this sentence about inner force:

> If everything depends on the outside (outside forces), then you will not be free and will become the slave of the external.
> 
> If everything depends on the inside (inner forces), then you have wise discipline able to develop the power to become Buddha.

I’ve heard this several times before, and I always had many questions about it:

- How can we learn to develop so that everything develops from the inside?
- If the inside is so important, why do we exist with an ‘outside?’
- Where are harmony and patience if everything depends on internal?
- Where does being ego-centric / selfish end and ‘inner force’ start?

Buddhism covers three steps to help us work through these for ourselves.

## Stage One: What is Inner Force? Consciousness

**Inner force has many explanations in Buddhism I know of.**

Even the [dictionary](https://dictionary.reverso.net/english-definition/inner+force?ref=dropsofdharma.com) has many!

So, where do we start?

All together can help us to build more force.

- **Body, Mind and Spirit** represent our inner force.
- Internal can be about [**causation**. ](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2018/01/16/living-into-our-own-intention/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)Our intention becomes our thinking, becomes our speaking becomes our action.
- Internal can represent [feelings.](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2022/01/08/buddhism-awareness-boundary/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) Feelings are created through the [5 Skandhas or 5 Developments:](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/11/20/how-to-purify-the-five-developments/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) Information changes, we receive it, calculate, act and awareness.
- Internal can represent our [consciousness](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/02/23/8-consciousness-abilities/?ref=dropsofdharma.com). The ability to be aware of everything. Because everything going on internally is our feeling, we can [understand our inner reality](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2023/01/12/incredible-consciousness/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) by understanding how this feeling is created.

We will use the last definition in this post, but I have included links for the others.

## Step Two: Develop your consciousness to be aware of all 8 functions

What are the 8 Functions of consciousness?

- **1–5 Senses:** The body is our tool to learn everything else about life.
- **6 Thinking/calculation ability:** Understand what is thinking and how to use it properly.
- **7 Ego / Identity** — [separate](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2021/10/13/true-wisdom-begins-with-no-ego-to-observe-ego/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) from everything else
- **8 Hidden Consciiounses:** Mysterious force only open when we leave the body

**How to start to develop our consciousness? Start with the body.**

Mostly we think we should think more.

But our thinking is also painful when our body is in pain.

So healing the body back to feeling great makes our thinking great too.

But life is not just about thinking of something!

In Buddhism, they explain this is a gift.

Without a vulnerable body, we would never learn the wisdom to train it.

We need poor thinking to be curious to improve it.

With a heart that feels temporary even though it is not, we are curious to learn what it means to be eternal.

Through — tai chi and healing, observation, meditation and reading philosophy, and kindness.

**Let’s summarise them below:**

- **Healing** opens up and corrects our bodies. Help us to stay bright and share with others. **How can we become more tension-free?!**
- **Tai Chi h**elps us train and unite our energy and force, creating inner peace and free joy anytime. we want.
- **Training Feng Shui** develops our observation of the space around us to influence if we can in a healthy direction.
- **Reading philosophy** helps us to understand our psychology, moods, emotions and inner world deeper to create inner peace.
- **Training our observing ability** through observing meditation and enjoying nature opens our minds
- **Practice Kindness/generosity** helps us to make our ego less important. Which in turn expands our consciousness.

## Level Three: Inner Force becomes a creator of our body, mind and spirit.

Once we practice the above, we develop abilities inside.

You can never find them, but they are truly our own. No one can give to you. No one can take from you if you remain disciplined.

In this stage, we no longer rely on the outside for our mood, feelings, opportunities, and direction.

With these new abilities, we can create and share the skills from Level Two.

We become our disciplines.

Now the creation has changed direction. Our direction to be aware of consciousness influences others around us to improve their body, mind and spirit.

Not force, not an order, but what Buddha calls convenient wisdom.

### **What is Convenient Wisdom? A harmonious way to help others to develop their own inner force**

So when we are in Level Three, we learn the wisdom to be the wisdom.

That is the true inner force.

Then our power comes from inside but is practised and honed outside.

**Then according to Dharma, life is perfect:**

- either we have the wisdom and can share it. Or;
- we have not developed the wisdom yet, and can practice it!

When my heart is back to this feeling, I truly feel my life is perfect, and everyone’s life can be perfect also with this incredible wisdom from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Special thanks. to my friend Vincent for his awesome notes from class!
### 2 Amazing Levels of Meditation - Wang Wo and Wu Wo
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/2-levels-of-meditation/
Last updated: 2023-01-14T03:57:48.000Z
# Levels of Meditation: The First Two

## The First Level of Meditation: Forget-I (忘我 Wàng Wǒ)

The levels of meditation are explained in many places through [Daoist Philosophy](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2017/09/26/life-daoism-buddhism/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) as well, so I will summarise:

- Thinking takes a lot of energy. Thinking is not the highest level of any activity. For example, no professional sportsperson has time to ‘think.’
- By not thinking, we can concentrate more deeply.
- Then in that activity, we create a possibility for a moment when we forget ourselves.
- Forgetting the self will also cause us to forget anything connected to the self: our problems, desires, and worries.
- Time and space can also vanish.
- This further reduces and I and issues related to either time or space.
- Anyone practising a very high skill and concentration can reach this:

Many examples: Cooking, sports, art, dance, martial art, and writing.

**There are higher levels of meditation. But why?**

Because we forget-I, we forget about the body and create both bad posture and strange motion, which causes tension. Tension will prevent the level from increasing unlimitedly.

The harmony inside and outside is out of balance.

## The Second Level of Meditation: No I (無我 Wú Wǒ)

Explained in many places through Daoist and Buddhist Philosophy. There are different explanations from different teachers to different levels of students.

- ‘No’ here refers to ‘no-personal-blind I.’ This means the personal I is replaced with a “harmony I.” The blind here refers to the level of awareness that is incomplete or still in a developing zone.
- Where **Forget-I** was creating bad posture and motion, **No-I** remains aware of the posture and motion. Creating beautiful moving meditation poses.
- When we value harmony over our ego (what we want), we develop a new skill in the present. This increases our wisdom and allows us to see new angles of life.
- Harmony inside: physical tension, mental worry, psychological fear/anxiety, emotional heaviness.
- When we feel light, we are in an internal harmony zone. We can call this inner peace. This zone is out of thinking. This zone appears when thinking slows down.
- And harmony outside: Harmony external: other people and our surroundings, 風水 Fēng shuǐ, the environment in balance. This zone makes the space comfortable to stay in indefinitely.

See more about the next level of meditation in this discussion of [Nirvana](https://typeshare.co/timfairweather/posts/we-can-never-find-nirvana-because-nirvana-is-always-there-2ln2?ref=dropsofdharma.com).

### Summary of the Two Levels of Meditation

The first level of meditation is called “Forget-I,” where one forgets themselves and their problems, desires, and worries. This allows for deeper concentration and can be achieved through activities such as cooking, sports, art, dance, martial art, and writing. However, this level can also create bad posture and motion, causing tension that prevents further progress. The second level of meditation is called “No I,” where the personal “I” is replaced with a “harmony I”, and one remains aware of posture and motion, creating beautiful, moving meditation poses. This level values harmony over the ego and develops new skills and wisdom, leading to inner peace and a balance in the environment.

# Practical Exercises For Learning The Levels of Meditation

Here are some practical exercises:

1. Forget-I Meditation: Find an activity that you enjoy and that requires concentration, such as cooking, sports, art, dance, martial art, or writing. Practice this activity while letting go of your thoughts and worries and allowing yourself to fully immerse in the present moment. As you do this, you may find that you begin to forget yourself and your problems and experience a deeper level of concentration.
2. No I Meditation: Start by sitting in a comfortable position and focusing on your breath. As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing in harmony and balance; as you breathe out, imagine that you are releasing any tension or negative thoughts. As you focus on your breath, bring awareness to your posture and motion, and make any adjustments necessary to maintain a balanced and comfortable position.
3. Body scan meditation, where you focus on each part of your body and release any tension you may find.
4. Mindfulness meditation is where you focus on the present moment without judgement and observe any thoughts or feelings that arise but do not get attached to them.
5. Loving-kindness meditation, where you focus on sending love and well-wishes to yourself and others, promoting feelings of harmony and inner peace.

It’s important to note that these practices take time and patience to master and should be practised regularly to see progress.

# Unlocking Our Incredible Consciousness: One Heart, Two Gates

## Summary of Consciousness and Observing

- The post discusses Buddhist wisdom and the idea that our consciousness has unlimited force in two directions – one towards greed and possession and one towards kindness, joy, and harmony.
- It suggests that the key to switching to the latter side of consciousness is to practice and develop our observing ability.
- This can be done by observing our egos and laughing at them, creating space in our hearts for deeper observation of the essence, function, and goal of things.
- There are alsoips for improving consciousness development, such as focusing on pure and unlimited intentions and goals that are perfect for oneself and all life.
In conclusion, developing this force can lead to a wise habit of happiness for oneself and

Consciousness Buddhist Wisdom

all life. 

## Introduction to Consciousness

In Buddhist Wisdom, our incredible consciousness observes life and **has unlimited force in these two directions.**

  1. One side is to develop knowledge to be greedy to own/possess something – materials, knowledge, other life.
  2. One side is to develop the being ability – kind and caring, joyful, harmonious character in every present.

One side constantly changing, losing everything – creates fear, worry, stupidity, and greed.  
One side unlimited develop anything – curious, joyful, free, appreciative, generous, kind, caring and wise. [See The Four Eternal Hearts.](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/08/03/the-four-eternal-hearts/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

See this post for further details on using meditation.

> [2 Amazing Levels of Meditation – Wang Wo and Wu Wo](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2023/01/12/2-levels-of-meditation/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

For a more traditional explanation, [see this post here:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmavihara?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

### **How to switch to the other side of our incredible consciousness?**

We can switch by practising and developing our own observing ability.

**Our observing ability is that unlimited force already.**

How?

**We can practice observing our many egos.** 

We are never them. They are never our true hearts. They make sense in a nonsense way. So we can enjoy learning to laugh at them. This creates space in our hearts. With this new space, we can deeply observe our egos from essence, function and goal and create a new wise habit instead. This wise habit itself is strengthening our eternal wisdom heart.

**We can practice observing the essence, function and goal of anything**

  - **Observing the essence**  
    - Where does it come from? What is intention? What is our intention? What is it made from?
  - Observing the function  
    - For what purpose does it do this? How does it do this? Why does it do it in this way? How can we use it in reality?
  - Observing the Goal  
    - Where is it leading to? What is the final direction?

#### **Tips to improve consciousness development**

Essence/intention -> towards pure / purify  
Function -> towards unlimited development  
Goal -> towards perfect for yourself and every life

# Summary of our Increible Consciousness Observing Ability

Our heart is our consciousness

One heart, two gates is a way to make every moment in life meaningful.

Developing this force will take us out of our blind moody feelings we do not want and create a wise habit of happiness for ourselves and every life.

Purify blind creation, develop our eternal force.
### Observing

# Summary of Observings

- The main message in this text seems to be about the importance of wisdom and living a relaxed, peaceful life free from worry and fear.
- It suggests that wisdom allows us to remain calm and positive in all situations and to enjoy life, even in challenging times.
- It also emphasizes the idea that life is an illusion and that true happiness does not come from external things or goals, but from within.
- The text also mentions the importance of being tolerant and patient with others and of letting go of greed and worry about money.
- It suggests that a generous, kind, and caring attitude can lead to a harmonious and easy life.
- Finally, the text mentions the Amitabha Buddha system and the idea that we are guided and supported by Buddha and Bodhisattva on our journey to pure land.

## Observations from Sifu

1. Observing self being Dharma creator  
Wisdom will always go with you, it’s an ability not an idea. As you challenge life it’s how you act react in every situation. If your wisdom is high and you can remain calm, positive and free from worry your calculation will be sharp to remain joyful and light. So that the perfect and the challenging times of life can be enjoyed.

No more need for heavy serious in life, as life is illusion. Wisdom creates freedom from suffering creation I. Free to enjoy life in every present.

No more need to get somewhere, someone or something to be happy. Just naturally peaceful, joyful and content to enjoy the illusion. Enjoy the process of the changing. Enjoy the timing of the changing. Enjoy observing the changing until observing create 4 eternal heart is your natural self being.

This is the true value of life. All else will disappear as illusion. True heart can be developed eternally and shared eternally. Prioritise this and you have the correct meaning, function and goal of life, as life is for learning.

Concentrate into Amitabha Buddha system.

😃💪🏻🙏👌🏼

1. Life with less take life less serious

Traveling Thailand and Philippines they all smile so naturally, easy and relaxed. When asking them to do something they don’t rush. Time for them doesn’t move with hurry forceful intention.

They feel that there is nothing to get that requires so much force.

Their searching heart is more calm in this way.

But this also means their calculation ability is much lower because of this.

True ability is to have both the calculation to care for others and self in every present in a relaxed way. Bringing generous, kind and care attitude to every situation with easy harmony.

1. Every life is living their life in the way they think is the best to satisfy their desire/illusion I. So don’t try to push your I onto them, be tolerant and patient to guide their I away from blindness.
2. Let go of fear and worry. Know that you’re guided and supported by Buddha and Bodhisattva. All will work out to provide you with the perfect test to hold nothing and continue on your journey to pure land. Back to point one, heart is free to enjoy the changing.
3. Greedy and worry for money, you will create a reality of not having enough money. Easy and generous with money and there will always be enough, as you’ve learnt the trick of this type of illusion trick. Thinking there’s not enough creates the reality of their not being enough. Knowing there will always be enough creates the reality of their will always being enough.

The joy of life is in all the challenge.

When stress appears we tend to get tense, tight and restricted, restricting breathing.

When stress appears, remind yourself to relax and create more open space so you are ready for the challenge.

Have you ever found yourself constantly struggling to decide what is right and what is wrong?

I used to find myself in this predicament until I learned about Awakening Dharma and gained a deeper understanding of the root cause of suffering.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why is there suffering?”

The answer can be found in the complete circle of life, represented by the sacred Om Mani Padme Hom.

In this circle, there is no such thing as right or wrong. Instead, there is only suffering, the understanding of suffering, the release of suffering, and ultimately, freedom from suffering.

By awakening to the unlimited joy of life through Om Mane Padme Hum, we can let go of the constant struggle to determine right and wrong and embrace true wisdom and compassion instead.

So next time you find yourself caught in a struggle between right and wrong, try chanting Om Mane Padme Hum and remember that the path to true happiness and understanding lies in accepting and releasing suffering.

# Introduction to Emptiness

In this post, we will explore the concept of “releasing gates of wisdom” pertaining to the Buddhist teachings of emptiness, illusion, and the lack of a self.

# Summary of Emptiness

- The key points covered in this post are that all appearance is empty, all appearance form has no form, and all appearance has no self.
- This means that the essence of all things is empty, all forms are constantly changing and illusory, and all actions result from causation and lack a true self.
- Understanding these three concepts can help us to see the world as it truly is and be liberated from suffering.

## Practical Exercises to Understand Emptiness:

1. Reflect on the idea that the essence of all things is empty. What does this mean to you personally? How does it change your perspective on the things around you?
2. Notice the impermanence of all forms. Pay attention to how everything is constantly changing and shifting, and how nothing stays the same.
3. Consider the concept of causation and the lack of a self. How does this understanding affect the way you perceive your own actions and the actions of others?
4. Practice mindfulness and try to see the world as it truly is, beyond illusions and appearances.

——

3 Releasing Gates of Wisdom  
  
1\. All the appearance is empty  
The appearance of things is empty, like an illusion that appears to be real in front of your eyes but is not. If we do not take these appearances seriously, we can feel free from them.  
  
All the appearance form has no form

All appearances have an empty essence, which allows them to change and transform.

All forms are constantly changing and illusory, and because they come from and will eventually disappear into others, they have no true form. This understanding can help us let go of our possessive tendencies and attachment to changing forms.

# All the appearance has no I

All actions are the result of causation, and because they come from others, there is no true self or “I” involved.

This understanding, along with the teachings that essence is empty and form is an illusion, can lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and how the illusion of the world is created. By going deeper in our understanding and practice, we can come to see the world as it truly is and be liberated from suffering.

## Buddhist Wisdom and Causation

In the 3 Eternal Dharma Truths, the first two parts explain causation.   
  
So from the essence, it’s empty, from the appearing form it is empty and from the action, there is no I.

When you understand all three, then you understand the three releasing gates of wisdom. Understanding either one will help you understand the other two.  
  
There is nothing that can have an essence. That’s why we can make it smaller and smaller until it’s finally empty. If there is some essence, it will stay that look and not even change. All the form is constantly changing and comes from the other so there is no form. All the action comes from causation, many many cause, so they have no self.

Individual action comes from many many cause, so that individual action cannot have any I, has to come from many I.  
You grow up until now, how much food have you eat, that’s how many I into you. The sunlight, wind, water and before your body appear your parents, grandparents, think about that connection how many causation behind. From there you don’t find your real individual I at all.

Empty, no form, no I. So the world even although it appears with form, appear looks like not empty and everything has a different kind of action to look like they are all real, in fact it’s the way to teach you how the illusion works. The illusion is not totally not there, as it appears as though it has a real form, real essence and act like there is a real I. But that is the trick of life, you go deeper you will right away know either one is trying to teach you that: essence is empty, form is illusion and action has no I.
### Wise choice

Last updated: 2023-01-09T08:17:30.000Z
# Summary of the Wise Choice Poem

- This poem is discussing the idea of choice and how it relates to the concept of the “I” or ego.
- It compares the ego, or “causation I,” to fleeting and temporary things, like dust in the wind, dream illusions, and reflections in water.
- These things have no freedom, eternity, or reality.
- In contrast, the poem presents the idea of “awakened I,” or ego-transcendence, as powerful and enduring.
- It compares this state to the big bang, the sun, and beautiful stars, all of which are bright, eternal, and incredible.
- The poem suggests that our hearts have the potential to be either trapped in the cycle of causation and reincarnation or to be “four eternal hearts” without ego or blindness.
- It ends with a positive message about the possibility of making a wise choice and transcending the ego.

## Wise choice Poem -one heart two gates

Causation I is like dust in the wind, no freedom.

Or like dream illusion and bubbles. no eternity.

Or like the reflection moon in the river, no reality.

Awaken I is like big bang in the universe, Power to create everything.

Or like the sun in the solar system, eternally bright, no blindness.

Or like all the beautiful stars in the heavens, Remain incredible.

Our heart is both possibility, lost in causation reincarnation I

Or being four eternal heart without any Blind I

### Train the body to be aware of energy

# Train the body

Train the body to be aware of energy  
Train awareness of energy to be aware of consciousness  
Train consciousnesses to be aware of Dao

---

In the realm of Eastern martial arts philosophy, profound and practical wisdom permeates Dao’s teachings.

At its core, this philosophy urges practitioners to embark on a transformative journey that begins with the training of the body to become acutely aware of the intricate flow of energy.

In the martial arts world, the body is regarded as a vessel through which energy courses and manifests.

Through disciplined training, practitioners learn to harmonize their physical movements with the ebbs and flows of energy. By honing their techniques, they cultivate an intimate connection with their own bodies, understanding the nuances of every muscle, joint, and breath. The body becomes a conduit, a vehicle for expressing and controlling energy.

With a heightened awareness of energy, practitioners naturally begin to explore the next layer of their being—consciousness. The mind, intricately linked with the body, becomes the focal point of their training. Just as the body is refined to sense the subtlest shifts of energy, so too is the mind trained to perceive the ebb and flow of consciousness.

As martial artists delve deeper into their practice, they realize that consciousness is not confined to the physical realm. It extends beyond the body’s boundaries and encompasses the vastness of existence itself. By cultivating an awareness of their consciousness, they begin to recognize the interplay between the individual self and the universal consciousness. This realization brings them closer to the essence of Dao.

The final stage of this transformative journey lies in cultivating a profound connection with Dao. As practitioners refine their awareness of energy and consciousness, they inevitably draw closer to the fundamental principles that govern existence. Dao, the ever-present and all-encompassing force, reveals itself to those who have diligently trained their bodies and minds.

To be aware of Dao is to recognize the interconnectedness of all things. It is to understand that every action, every thought, and every breath is part of a grand tapestry. The training in martial arts becomes a metaphorical path to enlightenment, guiding practitioners toward a deeper understanding of their place in the universe.

In the realm of Eastern martial arts philosophy, the practical wisdom embedded in the teachings of Dao manifests itself through the training of the body, the cultivation of awareness of energy and consciousness, and, ultimately, the realization of the profound connection with Dao. This transformative journey transcends mere physical combat, offering practitioners a path to inner harmony and enlightenment. By embarking on this path, one can strive to embody the ancient wisdom that has guided martial artists for centuries and embrace the essence of Dao in their everyday lives.

### Causation I from Vimalakirti Sutra

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:05.000Z
# What is Causation I, and how can we develop pureness?

If you understand this philosophy 😄from your heart 💚  
You will be free from all suffering 🎊

Our heart created “causation I “as an illusion being that never ends  
But A creates B, So A is not B

Our heart is not an illusion, being.  
The causation I come from all the others, so it has no true self

The true heart has No beginning and No end  
It always remains pure and free

So we can never find Nirvana because Nirvana is always there.

(From Pure Name Buddha’s book, Vimalakirti Sutra)  
😊💚🙏🐉☯️☸️

---

Further explanation:

The passage you shared reflects the teachings of the Vimalakirti Sutra, particularly its perspective on causation and the development of purity. In the Vimalakirti Sutra, causation is often explored to challenge conventional notions of self and reality.

According to the passage, the concept of “causation I” is described as an illusion or a mistaken perception that there is a separate and enduring self, an “I,” that exists independently from other phenomena. It suggests that our sense of self is constructed through a chain of cause and effect, where one thing gives rise to another. However, the passage asserts that because A creates B, A is not B. This implies that the self, represented by the “causation I,” is not a fixed or independent entity but rather a result of interdependent causes and conditions.

In terms of developing purity, the passage suggests that true purity lies in recognizing the illusory nature of the “causation I” and realizing the true nature of the heart or mind. It suggests that the heart, or true self, is not bound by causation and is not an illusion. It is described as pure, free, and timeless, without a beginning or an end. This implies that by realizing the heart’s true nature, one can transcend the cycle of suffering and attain a state of liberation or Nirvana.

The passage emphasizes that Nirvana, the state of ultimate liberation and freedom from suffering, is always present and accessible because it is inherent in the nature of the true heart. It suggests that by understanding the illusory nature of the self and cultivating insight into the true nature of reality, one can realize the inherent purity and freedom that already exists within.

Can experience dharma joy now through healing, martial arts and meditation 6. Neutral point in reincarnation - ego not too big, easier to free from reincarnation`

Bad point`1. All kinds of Suffering possibility 2. Can’t control birth (choose your life form), death, not even living karma for yourself 3. Danger in reincarnation - potential to go towards hell karma 4. No ability to help others in present or you have hurt in past - can’t purify past karma for self and others 5. May not have chance to connect to Amitabha Buddha system 6. Two causation Body and surrounding are weak and mess karma. All the surrounding is against spirits Dharma ending time.`

Stop the spin – no changing then no circle ⭕️  
Stop illusion changing then no illusion.  
Changing from others, stop all the connection to others then nothing there.

Five developments are empty

`1. Empty the blind ego and greed out of reincarnation `

`2. Empty muddy dirt become pure lotus `

`3. Empty all the bad karma to become pure land`

### Awakened Heart Poem - True Will is the Highest

# Awakened Heart Poem

1. No birth no death
2. True self never born
3. Desire had no limitation
4. Karma has no end
5. True will is the highest

# ———————————-

# Explanation

## No birth no death 

Start back to the essence

Empty empty – pure and naive

Unlimited Dharma Ocean Fragrant Lotus 

In True Self Zone, Buddha nature – unlimited dharma joy

Free from searching heart, so in a state of unlimited Dharma Joy

Free and happy and perfect unlimited space and time and lights.

No need for wisdom there.

But that is all this pure naive consciousness knows

Unlimited means choice

From curiosity for something more it starts to create an I. You want to aware more than this pure, joy emptiness.

**The only way is to do the opposite,** the other side, creates blindness, ego, suffering, and limitation. 

**So we do the opposite. That is why there is a beginning**

Wu Ming Xing – something not aware act – awareness without act

That is why Buddha says every life is already Buddha.

That zone, of pure and unlimited perfect joy, is a place meditation can take us back to. In that space, you don’t feel the earth or human there.

No male, female, human, god, space, so pure hold nothing stage – natural heart is this, no appear and disappear, no comparing heart to follow the negative

That is why Buddha says every life already Buddha

So we are actually learning to become awakened AGAIN.

If no one is suffering then generosity is not there, no need to help anyone, no middle way, no compassion.

In that zone free to choice blindness

But truly awakened would only choose wisdom

There is an unbelievable joy but there in no compassion there. There is no need for it. So complete wisdom will develop both, the perfect essence and unlimited compassion to help every life.

## True self never born

In regular life we experience suffering but our true self is not even this

Whatever can be born is not your true self – a tool we can connect to – choose this body, weapon, ability, level – limited in that role.

Like in the Street Fighter Video Game you choose – Chun LI / Blanka / Ken / Bison / Zangief / Honda / Dhalsim 

**Ego is that – character you choose for this lifetime**

Only when we are out of this role, this ego, this connection can we be aware of this

The higher meditation for yourself is that from – free from yourself – free from your blind ego – realise it was created, it had a beginning, therefore it has an end, but true self has no end. Always remains perfect and pure.

Once your level becomes steady you can remain to help others – then you are Bodhisattva – even if you are in a burning house they will not burn, even in Hell their consciousness have no fear – one part of their consciousness in Pure Land, another body divide, their heart will not take illusion as real.

But we are learning this meditation, and it is difficult to learn so Amitabha Buddha builds a place for us to learn this. Take a long time to develop this.

Never get lost and never get trapped

Awakened consciousness never tries to find perfect, instead realize perfect is already there.

Clouds come and go, but the sun is always shining.

**Our pure essence is always perfect. This is our True Self.**

Negative, learn wisdom not to follow it and control it. When you are against it you waste power. And when you let it control you, blind action creates bad cause and so bad effect must come.

We are learning Middle-way wisdom.

**Not searching for the essence, not following the negative, find a way to purify our blindness.**

Natural buddha heart always there

So that is why we say Back to Essence.

But stay connected to the mess worlds to help them realise this. 

Perfect power to help every life. This is Bodhisattva and Buddha power.

## Desire has no limitation, no end

1. Desire want it…seducing power non-stop. It is the wanting, not what you desire.
2. Desire to survive unlimited situations constantly changing prevent survival
3. Desire power of life, no desire, no life

This creates constant new causes and new effects,

And consciousness has no form, no border. As soon as one consciousness wants to create I, one I appear. One no form consciousness can create unlimited I.

Consciousness is never born and never dies, but cause and effect remain across lifetimes so therefore Karma has no end

So desire, causation, consciousness and consciousness all have no end.

**So the principle of life is to guide it all into**

## True WIll is the highest

With all this desire and karma you will never develop an eternal centre – Dharma is an eternal centre – a system stronger than every other system

Because all the causation cannot beat Dharma. No-I system, no suffering system

And the best place to learn this is Amithaba Buddha Pure Land

When we learn many different eternal wisdoms we will become those eternal wisdoms.

We become eternal wisdom creator, create our own Pure Land and to help everyone.

And Pure Land is not created, it is from purify, so help every life back to pure.

Until heart become awakened eternal wisdom, the you have beat your own blindness and other blindness inside you or outside of you cannot pollute you anymore.

When you call his name Amitabha Buddha, it becomes a Double Will to go there to learn – his will and your own will.

You become a Perfect development centre force being.

Become the creator to create pure land in the future to become Buddha

**Practice:**

- See your own ego/character as a video game character. You are not this character. You are the player, choosing to play.
- Observe Dharma to improve ourselves every day – becoming a new strength who you are – observing Dharma is true level never drop.
- Call Amitabha Buddhas Name and remind yourself of your will.
### One Life Meditation Technique - Replay your life movie to see Buddha

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:26.000Z
# **One life meditation technique: How to see Buddha**

## **Discovering your hidden consciousness force**

**Goal**

- How to practice what are we going to do when we leave the body?
- Goto Amitabha buddha’s name
- The will to be reborn into his pure land – clearly know your direction and practice that.

**Summary**

- - Use memories of your life to replay your past, from baby until now and then project forward to the end of your life. See yourself out of your body, saying Buddha’s name and then connecting to his Pure Land.
  - This meditation is to practice opening your hidden consciousness force and re-guiding your karma – two abstract concepts we would usually only experience at death / leaving the body.
  - Our consciousness can be trained.
  - Hidden Consciousness is the 8th part of consciousness and we can only usually experience it once we leave the body.
  - The Hidden Consciousness stores all information for us to access.
  - We can use memory and hidden consciousness to see life as illusion, watch a movie of ourselves like it is someone else and to go back to essence and experience lightness and joy.
  - If we don’t practice this, then when we die we can only just watch it and not use it as a tool
  - Our Hidden consciousness has no character, no I, but can collect all the characters and all I thereto observe
  - Show you what you have done this lifetime, but you can’t change it
  - That creates the idea of karma
  - It finishes and judges as itself
  - **No choice – every lifetime do this**

- **All experiences and relationships are bubbles of bubbles**

- **Reach Daoism idea of “True Life” – 1st out of body through meditation style**  
  - Healthy, not interested in anything from planet anymore, learn it all and no value there
  - Then sit down / lie down, regular life, suddenly consciousness just out of the body
  - No because of aging, illness or death, or karma, causation pushes you out of the body
  - Because reached to a point so pure, wisdom so high, normal life.
  - Not let any part of life be possessive of anything anymore – called true life
  - Level One out of body

**Backstory – Story of Zen**

- Buddha once came to class but said nothing. He sat there, eyes closed smiling.
- While all the students became confused and frustrated and started to murmur, one student got it. He sat there, eyes closed and smiled beautifully with joy
- Buddha then explained this student has become wisdom. He understands the wisdom heart is a being, has no more questions, becomes the joy, no looking for more wisdom.
- This is the step out of mental ideas: Good intention, enjoy life, full of kind and care and love and no personal and wonder and development and wisdom ability and no fear and worry. Dragon Warrior

## Meditation Technique

**See the past life is an illusion movie**

- - In the third eye area, see/feel/hear your life memories at different ages then let them disappear onto the next one. You can try like the ‘Black and white’ Michael Jackson video clip – morphing one to the other, fast or slow.
  - As a baby, then kid, then teenager, then 20, then adult
  - Watch “our” life as a movie of someone else – dream, illusion, bubble, dew, lightning
  - Then see your future and your death out of your body
  - Say Amitabha Buddhas Name – remember his will, your will, train out of the body, get rid of fear. Create a future
  - Can see Buddha if concentrate that deep and pure, it will become a power, become a power as a cause

**End of meditation feelings to go into your day with**

- - Life is a bubble but a bubble has a meaningful purpose to learn about life
  - The good intention zone is great because no ego, negative, judgemental, care-free, joyfully aware good intention from own heart, everyone’s heart
  - Buddha says this is our nature, our Buddhahood.
  - But because it is covered by blindness we cannot see it all the time
  - Our true Heart is naturally loving, and curious and wants to learn, understand and be awakened.
  - Which section in a bookshop is the largest – Personal development – so truly humans love to develop themselves.
  - In there only have a loving heart to every life, only development, kind and care to everyone is in our nature

# How to Become Superhuman

- Gods are superhumans for us – humans
- Notice the Bodhisattva in each realm of reincarnation below.
- They are truly free to travel between realms
- So Bodhisattvas are gods for the gods!
- And the Buddhas are even higher level than the Bodhisattvas.
- So we are super lucky to learn from Buddha on Earth to raise our level

Reincarnation and the energy realms

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2023/11/3.jpg)

There are 6 realms of reincarnation (constant cycle of rebirth.)

- *1.Deva*  
  - *The realm of heavenly beings filled with pleasure; the deva hold godlike powers; some reign over celestial kingdoms; most live in delightful happiness and splendour; they live for countless ages, but even the Deva belong to the world of suffering (samsara) — for their powers blind them to the world of suffering and fill them with pride — and thus even the Deva grow old and die; some say that because their pleasure is greatest, so too is their misery.*
- *2.Asura*  
  - *The realm of anger, jealousy, and constant war; the Asura (Ashura) are demigods, semi-blessed beings; they are powerful, fierce and quarrelsome; like humans, they are partly good and partly evil.*
- *3.Humans*  
  - *The human realm; beings who are both good and evil; enlightenment is within their grasp, yet most are blinded and consumed by their desires.*
- *4\. Animals*  
  - *the realm of animals and livestock, characterized by stupidity and servitude.*
- *5\. Hungry Ghosts*  
  - *the realm of hungry spirits; characterized by great craving and eternal starvation;*
- *6\. Beings in Hell*  
*the lowest and worst realm, wracked by torture and characterized by aggression.*

# **Energy can describe all the information in the universe**

- Our body is made of energy.
- But energy is abstract so this can help us understand it
- Our body has 7 chakras / big airports for energy
- Our body has 108 smaller nerve points, caves/highways of information located around the joints
- There is also a special very fine energy inside our bone marrow

# **Energy training systems**

## Level Two: Opening the 108 nerve points

- 108 nerve points open
- Light around joints have to be open so you can move,
- Once they open then points connect like an ocean
- Yi Jing Jin joints open, Bodhidharma, can help 108 meridians
- Move body so whole-body energy is lighter (gravity disappears, so aging stops, and stops)

### 3 types of “ I “

Last updated: 2022-05-08T10:23:16.000Z
“ Causation I “  
Which is blind creating of the consciousness  
awareness ability

Our consciousness ability is able to create blind action

Then become “ causation I “  
and all the causation join together creating “ karma I “  
after that our consciousness is lost in Reincarnation

“ Essence I “  
Which is the pure original wisdom I

We will not be able to be aware of our essence  
Once we are into the journey of blind action

The only way to be aware of our pure essence is through developing wisdom to see through all the illusion, so you will able to be free from blind illusion, and aware of your essence heart.  
Then You will experience first Nirvana

This “ developing wisdom I“ power is the true treasure of life.

True Dharma spiritual awaken life begins with this ability 😊☸️🙏💚

### What is no 2 in Buddhist philosophy?

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:34.000Z
No 2 Summary

Level 1

Not follow greedy ego – greed for illusion keeps you trapped in reincarnation.  
No fear of illusion – fear of illusion means you don’t understand life is illusion.  
Internal pure land – create pure logic, internal wisdom power to be free from the first two.

Level 2

Life is perfect – no such thing as not perfect, we just see it as not perfect, we create the nightmare.  
Regret creating the nightmare and stop creating the nightmare – regret and be free from the blind illusion creation, instead create pure land dream.

Goal

Appreciation heart – appreciate life is perfect, everything is for learning wisdom and developing convenient wisdom compassion heart.

No 2 is another way to talk about emptiness.

Because emptiness has no two.

As soon as there’s two there’s changing, which is illusion, no longer emptiness.

So as one is emptiness.

What to do with this?

Back to essence to purify.

Then one heart two gates creation within the illusion, choose wisdom gate.

From Friday Training:

Secret of Balance in Tai Chi

There 4 different types of Balance.

1) Stiff Style  
Squeeze the muscle in the flowing way up (i.e. squeeze stomach muscle up)  
Create stiff, like robot, but sometimes might be required, so need to train to know how to do

2) Rotation Up Style  
Up and rotation open every joint – feel them opening  
3) Dantian Curved Style  
From Dantian as a ball rolling, energy moving as curve  
Whole body Yin Yang movement – opposite sides open  
Open feet correspondingly to balance and support whole movement, include center twisting like DNA rotation up,

4) Waterman Style  
Feel the foot, energy twisting up, whole body whipping like water

To create different element requires using different type of balance  
Goal is to reach number 3

Tai Chi, Qui Gong, Chen Kun and Wu Ji Martial arts creates:

Strong center  
Observing self being ability  
Purify – purify your character to be able to move with no I

These are also the bridge/foundations to develop Buddhism as an awareness ability. Allowing spirits to become a reality for a consciousness – Becoming a spiritual being.

Why?

You have to have a strong center to challenge all the Dharma Ending blind illusion (external blindness) as well as all your own blindness that you create yourself – worry, fear, greed, possessiveness (internal blindness). So without a strong center you will just get swept into all of this.

Observing self being – if not practicing this you will never become aware of what blindness you are creating (as you are the main cause) or have the sensitivity to be aware of how others are reacting to the way you are being. So you won’t ever be able to develop, increase your level of awareness to change your being. You will just continue being in a blind direction.

Purify – through observing and purifying your blind action when you move, you can also use this same ability towards the character/being you create when you are not doing martial arts. Every moment we create one heart two gates. Either towards blind or awakened. So you can start to create your character towards the direction of harmony – Wu Wi being towards other life as speaking and action (external), but also towards yourself as well thoughts and feelings (internal).

Learning our blind action in martial arts and practicing to change it = In life learning our blind character and practicing to change it.

In martial arts we are learning to create a feeling, not just move a certain way.

In Buddhism we are also learning to create a feeling of pure kind and care towards self and every life.

When doing a form, sensitive awareness of gravity and power from foot and center never stop.

When living, sensitive awareness of the heart to create/be pure, kind and care also non stop.

This builds the bridge between martial arts and Buddhism to awaken the consciousness.

# How to unite the 3rd and 4th Chakra – the lower and middle Dan Tian

A famous Wuji Master from China once taught the secrets to unite the Heart Chakra also known as the 4th Chakra – as “breathing and sleeping.”

**What does this mean?**

## Introduction

The abstract energy in the body has been divided in many ways in many cultures / religions / styles over our history:

- Buddhism talks of the 7 Chakras, 8 parts of consciousness
- Daosim talks of the 3 Tians, 3 energy centres, the Micro-Cosmic Orbit and the Meridian Lines
- Sanskrit talks of the Nadis

These can all be connected together as a training system. For example, energy in 7 chakras can be divided into the 3 Tians:

- - Lower Dan Tian – Dan Tian – 1,2,3 Chakras
  - Middle Dan Tian – Tian Zhong – 4th Chakra
  - Upper Dan Tian – Shen – 5,6,7th Chakras

These can be overlaid on one another and the centre of all of them is the 4th Chakra, the Heart Chakra, known as the middle-Dan Tian or Tan Zhong.

Tan Zhong means a special place for a ceremony to open up your spirits. **And herein lies the secret!**

The 3 energy centres from Daoism talk about turning Jing (original human essence) into Qi, refined wise action to charge the body to prepare the body for meditation. And then train Qi into into Shen – God-like energy. But regular physical training including foundational level of Taiji can only reach the 3rd Chakra well.

What Sifu discovered is that the 4th Chakra’s energy is much more open and powerful because instead of the squeezing and charging style associated with physical force, it expands letting the energy run faster. This lightness allows you to move much faster and more sensitive to improve your martial arts.

**So how to develop it?**

## Summary

Physical training can charge 1,2,3 Chakras but needs a higher training, a lighter training to reach number 4.

To open the Heart chakra, the fastest way is through Buddhism philosophy, appreciation of Dharma, life is perfect, open heart.

Sifu’s reason to train this is to go higher level to control energy into joy.

## Training Technique

Lie down with gentle music

### **Step One: Release tension**

- Massage, acupuncture, hot shower / bath, stretch,
- Reduce tension in your physical, mental and psychology.

### **Step Two: Lower Dantian**

- Goal is to use physical-control awareness to develop correct procedure to ‘breathe’ from your spring point (air in lungs and also your body’s energy moving through your body like air)
- Lift toes
- Squeeze bum tight
- Squeeze first chakra muscle gently concentrate energy into a laser line shoot up
- Try to breathe in and paint brush motion with both arms
- Light whole body breathing my spring point
- Physical procedure
- Psychology becomes light

### **Step Three: Ocean wave**

- Use whole body breathing to open joints make energy pass through, water style, abstract no tension flowing
- Aware toes to fingers, jellyfish-like motion
- Personal-I will reduce and time slows down

### **Step Four: Forget all about it for a moment**

- Put on a Buddhism mantra, spiritual music on, relax, rest and breathe.
- Whole body become lighter
- Use memory, imagination to create the feeling of a lotus blooming in the body, inside the joints, a joyful light feeling . Feel open up the body light flower petals, very sensitive and light.
- I feel a very light feeling from my heart coming from the fourth chakra area
- Ah, Dharma Joy is the quickest way to open your 4th chakra.
- That is why it is called Middle Dantian, Tian Zhong – the place to open spirits, Dharma Joy is opening your spirits. Our essence is Dharma Joy.
- Middle like a centre, so as you develop, Dharma Joy is your centre. Another way to see life is perfect.
- It is not the kind of centre so powerful, more like a centre that melts everything, a centre of lightness.
- Because it is lighter, my nerves become more sensitive.
- I use that to create motion and joy appears right away.

### **Step Five: Controlling Dantian without physical power anymore**

- Lightness from 4th Chakra starts to influence your 3rd Chakra / Dantian. The spring point laser line is softer without breaking.
- More sensitive and delicate make you feel like you are doing art.
- Now the direction is towards art, so I disappear, you are moving meditation, a living art motion.
- To do well in art, you should prepare your psychology, you want to be delicate, you want to be fine, you want to have that beautiful feeling
- Ah it is all a feeling.
- What started as an idea, a theory finally became a feeling, I can’t do it through thinking. We cannot think of Dharma Joy only, it is a feeling, a memory.
- So our Dharma Joy are proof of our Eternal Wisdom ability, because we can connect back to them eternally, if we have discipline!

### ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2022/02/CHAKRAS3-293x300.png)

### **Step Six: Into Dharma Part 1 – Wu-Wei empty cloud feeling**

- We learn two kinds: Wu-Wei and Universal kindness open heart to help every life
- Wu-Wei: take out personal I
- Look at the clouds, flying in the mountains, move timeless, no tension, no0I
- So I to feel no-i, no tension to move, ahh, empty
- Cloud is one kind of no-I emotion. A pure feeling, a joyful feeling. You can reach quite light already this way.
- But cloud feelings are not the same kind of Buddhism, open heart, universal kind emotion – heart feeling.

### **Step seven: Into Dharma: Part 2 – Kindness towards everyone**

- Add in kind feeling, joy want to open heart help every life
- Memories of wah life is incredible through observing eternal philosophy, realise Dharma is perfect kind of joy, see spiritual lights, Bodhisattvas, lotus, spiritual signs, Pure Land, aware human limitation is like a little bubble of how amazing life can be
- Then energy become another level. The feeling before of empty and pure and joy.
- Now the feeling of energy is even lighter but stronger you become more sensitive and with more freedom to create.

## Closing remarks

So to create the number four chakra opening you still have to follow the procedure. Make all joints light and open and free to move. Get rid of all your I and feel power from your foot, laser line. Then you start adding two more art philosophies.

**Take out I by becoming nature**

- Nature never has I. Water flow, ah relaxed feeling. Not relaxed means you have I.
- Every second create relaxed, ah, relax, drop, free from I feeling
- That is already Daoism, Wu-Wei, natural being to do Taiji

**Then put in joyful astonished art feeling**

- Lotus blooming with lights, Pure Land space, Life is Perfect feeling, open heart kindness to help everyone feeling, unlimited universe of galaxies, power is riding and joy is rising incredibly.
- Third eye can often open then

How to become Perfect Buddha ☸️

Once you have “I”you have suffering.

“Normal I “  
comes from many causation that are not even you.

Kill the heart is to kill the blind I.  
Blind I creates too many blind ego, fear, worry and nonsense lifestyle

Blind I creates blind tense action.  
We take this blind I as our heart, truly this is not even our heart, and yet we live in this zone.

Because of this , in internal martial art – 9 soft explosions  
Teach: if you don’t free from worry thinking I, fear feeling I ,and tension physical I,  
your energy never truly sinks into the spring point.  
Energy can never truly unites.

### What is Beyond - God?
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/what-is-beyond-god/
Last updated: 2022-01-21T13:55:25.000Z
- What is God?
- God from a human view?
- What is beyond God?
- First level beyond God
- Final level beyond God

# What is the human view of God?

- God is a word and a sound with a feeling of something to represent beyond our understanding.
- It can also represent a being with a level of ability, or an experience of life relatively far above our own.

## 

## God from a native / tribal human view? God is born with power

- Long time ago native and tribal peoples would see powers they respected, and/or didn’t understand and think it was a god:
- They see a volcano, think there must be a consciousness or something / someone big behind it.
- **So the idea of God comes from fear.**
- Fire god, lightning god, tornado god, volcano god. Gods of the sea and the forest. Basically the four elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Wind all become Gods when the power of nature becomes extreme.
- Gods for them have a natural power, those gods were born with that power.
- Gods also bring things necessary for survival – still from fear – gods of harvest, fertility, etc.

## 

## God from Greek / Roman ages? God is someone born with an ability

- As human civilization develops their idea of God is born with a special ability.
- Their gods can have babies with humans and create Demi-Gods. Chinese culture also has many stories of these – including Fu-Shi, the first emperor of China being the son of a human princess and a Dragon.
- Anyone born with a special kind of ability is god-like
- Many kinds of gods in many countries and cultures fit into this category.

## 

## God from a “One consciousness” view

- This idea of God is an abstract oneness
- God of all elements and all nature – Gaia
- Collective God idea
- Christian idea of an all-seeing, all-powerful God – often has a messenger to help communicate with humans
- There is no ability you can develop to become God, but you can go to heaven.- no ability required to develop except loyalty and faith to go to heaven.

## 

## *So what is beyond god?*

# First level beyond God – God from a Daoism View – God is about training

- Breaking idea that god is not understandable, it is from training
- Like the difference between an expert sportsperson and a beginner – the beginner cannot understand the expert.
- Daoism system teach you how to become god
- Daoism also explains that gods have to learn as well
- There are many levels of Gods – 28 levels – each level is a separate space, a different dimension of universe
- Each dimension needs an ability to train to travel there
- They teach and write down the system to go into it
- So through training you can go beyond God
- So it is fair for everyone to train it, how hard you train is how hard you reach

# Final level beyond God – God from Buddhism point of view – God is in reincarnation like humans

Quite a coincidence that both Daoism and Buddhism talk about 28 levels of Gods

But Buddhism explains in more details these levels

First 6 levels are called material desire energy god dimensions.

- These beings can change energy to materials and materials to energy. Using this force for their own desire is the main subject. They are trapped by this power and can’t change desire power to a higher level.
- Levels 7 – 24 are the second zone, the pure energy zone. These gods do not have/need a material body. Human planet has very little contact with these Gods because out sense are not able to detect them. From a God’s point of view, coming to Earth would be like an adult going to Kindergarten and saying “Look how big and strong I am..” No point.
- Levels 25 – 28 are called Empty Abstract Being Gods. These gods take space as their body, so can be as large as many universes. Their ability is the most empty of all the gods, so therefore so is their energy and also their ego is the largest. These gods have no-body to connect and share. Imagine you are the size of the universe, immeasurable power, but no one could know? You can only watch others live. Eventually the seed of loneliness will cause them to seek rebirth back in other realms in reincarnation again.
- Siddhartha Buddha studied the 8 levels of Meditation with the Samanas. Which was found in many cultures 2000 years ago
- And these 8 levels (first 4 are warm-up and last 4 are the levels of Zen to see / connect and travel to these dimensions to learn from these beings.)
- The head of the Samanas asked Siddaratha to become their leader. Although he enjoyed the incredible joy of the meditation experiences and travelling to other dimensions, he explained to the high priest, no, because this was not the final level.
- Siddhartha Buddha started to teach the 9th Level of Meditation, called Sky Empty.
- This means truly awakened consciousness will understand that whatever you call “I” is a trick. No matter how high-level a God you are, ego is an illusion.
- Because it comes from conditions and causations from others.
- Like a house is created with wood, metal, and ceramic and stone. Together is a house, but those individual pieces are not a house.
- Before, all of those pieces were separate and empty, and when the house is gone, it will return to empty. So between empty and empty is empty.
- Life is like this, we come from nothing, experience many things, but back to nothing – nothing individual there – this idea about the individual ego is an illusion.
- Buddhist philosophy sees God as another, e.g., another consciousness trapped by their own limited view of life. Because life keeps changing, their view is limited and their wisdom is also limited, they will experience suffering and eventually die. This constant rebirth is called reincarnation.
- Instead of understanding life is illusion and illusion is empty – see the true essence, function and goal of life. Free from any ego, but able to enjoy to play every ego.

### Awareness Boundary - The word ‘feelings’ is equal to the word ‘experience.’
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/buddhism-awareness-boundary/
Last updated: 2022-01-08T02:06:30.000Z
**Awareness Boundary – The word ‘feelings’ is equal to the word ‘experience.’**

Awakening is a process where you are always looking back to see you did not see clearly before. 

The word feelings is equal to what Buddhism calls our awareness boundary

Even when you blackout, you are aware you missed something.

When you have no feeling, you feel that it is a no-feeling, feeling.

And because our awareness boundary is what we experience, feeling is also equal to our experience. But that doesn’t make the feeling ‘true.’ 

**What does that mean?** 

Because our consciousness uses our body to receive information from the senses to create a feeling towards some part of the whole possible experience going on.

From a keyhole to see causation.

You could have many possible feelings, but our awareness ability is limited so we are always trapped in certain feelings. That is why Buddhist philosophy calls it an awareness boundary.

When we are free to see all angles, free to create and experience many feelings, we are no longer trapped. That is one reason why many Buddha statues hold a glass jewel – to represent seeing from all angles as the path to awakening, into joy.

**Actually there is a key to recreate our awareness boundary, our experience.**

If you mix water and ink and juice and tea all together, shake it up – it joins together. 

But truly the water never mixes. If you heat that liquid until it turns into steam, and then distill it let the stem condense and drop back down into a separate container, it will form pure water again. Water will always do this.

Consciousness is like this, our essence remains pure, it just has been mixed for a long time.

**So how to distill our consciousness back to pure again?**

One method is to observe language, even one word from all angles again.

**Space**

Mostly we think of where we live (Earth) as space, but our body is space as well. Both are four elements: Earth, water, fire, air.

Take a tree: Water, earth, absorb the air and need temperature to survive – 4 elements

Tree has the 5th element: empty space as well, so 5 elements mixed together. Reason tree is not life is because it misses consciousness (the 6th element). The way it acts and reacts is automatic. 

Consciousness the 6th element – is made up of 8 programs, split into 3 groups:

- Subconsciousness (5 senses) ,
- Brain consciousness (thinking Buddhism calls this the 6th sense), and
- Hidden consciousness.

From here we can understand how our consciousness works. Originally our hidden consciousness creates 2 types of karma when we are born – body and the space. Joined together with all the other consciousness.

  
But each life has different past karma, and different abilities and potential from previous lives, so we will need to understand the 7 chakra energies to understand the foundation of life. These chakras are very important.

Sp inside the universe of our body these chakras are like the galaxies of information we need to observe and understand – **but they are all connected, you understand one part completely, it will unlock all the other areas.**

Example:

3 parts: calculation part we use now, the automatic part already running no need to think, hidden part, store all the information from our past and potential future. As a taste of learning about hidden consciousness – here is one exercise:

- **Where does taste come from?**

- The feeling of an apple the first time you bite into it? Come from the apple? Where in the apple? Come from you? Why need the apple? Come from your tongue, don’t need to bite anything.
- It is a special mix of all together open up taste from inside you.
- That is hidden consciousness, it has the entire unlimited universe of potential inside ready to wake up… that is what Buddha came to Earth to help us learn… nothing to get, every possibility inside us, we can choose to develop anything.

Consciousness is life. It is a big subject

Consciousness has no form, so you need to create something to be aware of existing, first it creates empty space, then 4 element space, 5 element space in surroundings are changing – so the tree is these 5 elements mixed.

And consciousness is all 6 elements mixed together – 6 elements is the most complete, no 7 no 8.

6 elements create whatever we call life.

We aren’t aware that our body is space because our consciousness is connected to this space the day we became aware we are existing, so somehow it is all we can remember, not aware of anything before that clearly.

Dharma joy appearing

You cannot get dharma joy, dharma Joy only appears when you let it go.

If you think there’s something to be greedy for, you don’t understand dharma.

If you think that there is something to let go, then you don’t truly understand that life is illusion.

Observing self being is the purify system to become the dharma, to create unlimited wisdom.

# What is Eternal?

## Taiji

- Tai-ji is extreme opposite force of change system in harmony as eternal
- Universe develops through harmony force, two opposite powers yin and yang, split into four elements.
- Yin is black – Earth and water
- Yang is white – fire and air
- Gravity is the split
- Universe follows 4 stages of universe force – cycle: create/**appear**, harmony power to develop, destroy, disappear
- Taiji is a special type of appear
- Taiji is within one universe
- Eternal power running in the body – mini universe

## 

## Four elements are eternal

- Four elements constantly changing as eternal
- Essence and changing in water – Wave up and down changing but water (H2o) never changes.
- Four elements keep changing but essence of life remain the same, always pure.

## 

## Wu-ji has no limits to creating Tai- ji as eternal

- Water is still, throw a rock into the water creates a ripple
- Ripple come from rock
- Rock come from someone throw it
- Water represent pureness
- Ripple represent universe – appear, develop, destroy, disappear
- Wuji is throwing the rock
- Water refers to empty space, empty space still come from consciousness
- Universe  
  - Light speed between stars
  - Universe twisting itself much faster than light speed – called universe twisting speed
  - Consciousness need to be so empty to feel it, body needs to be larger than universe – energy god, empty god level

## 

## Consciousness is eternal

- No I, no human, no lifeform, no lifetime – Diamond Sutra – ego is illusion stop you from aware eternal

## 

## Eternal Wisdom is eternal

- Eternal Wisdom is completely truth as eternal.
- Buddha and Bodhisattva are awaken from all the blindness as eternal.
- We are blind so not aware changing nor essence.
- Free from suffering and creating unlimited joy, compassionate to help other life.

## 

## Bodhisattva System – Convenient Wisdom is eternal

- Bodhisattva – called keeping the blindness – to help them connect
- Their heart bright like sun so anyone want to learn they will share to

### Every life form is created by its own consciousness.

Last updated: 2021-11-27T04:05:05.000Z
“Every life form is created by its own consciousness.

Our consciousness has no form, so every consciousness is the centre of the universe

Awaken your consciousness, no more limitation, into the world of free will.

You are then free

Through martial art and meditation, decoding the body, mind and spirit, see through endless time and infinite space.

Follow the path of the universe, our heart is the creator of all.

Our body is the temple of wisdom, our heart is the awakened consciousness and the spirit is the eternal true self.

The highest martial art is to challenge every limitation with wisdom.

The true meditation is to surpass life and death.

Go beyond any illusion of life, awaken our true consciousness

All life only exists through moving. No moving, no life. The wisdom motion of art. Moving Meditation – Into Eternity.”

Empty allows you to have all the potential, also makes you the artist.

Paper is also empty, paint whatever you like – 1 heart 2 gates.

Paint perfect 4 eternal heart, incredible pure land karma.
### Meditation and Wuji
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/meditation-and-wuji/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:26.000Z
The idea of meditation is that at the end you understand the system of how the universe works. How life force work and you match that system. Imagine that system becomes all of your consciousness – body/subconsciousness, brain consciousness, I consciousness and hidden consciousness.

This can be applied to whatever system.

For example Tai Chi system: Extreme opposite force in harmony.

- You want this to ‘appear’ in your I-consciousness.
- I-consciousness include brain and subconsciousness – so cover physical, emotional, mental, character, psychology.
- Example: Take character  
  - You want to balance extreme different characters, while being in harmony with both characters without being stubborn in either character. Be wild, be conservative/disciplined, can be both without being stuck/stubborn/lost in either.

**How to put into your Tai Chi?**

- Tai Chi is ending to Wuji
- Wuji is complete light free from every possibility
- For training you don’t want right away Wuji without foundation
- The kong/meditation bell system\* is to help guide towards that direction
- Why?  
  - You can’t get Wuji
  - You have I you can’t be Wuji
  - You have try, you can’t be Wuji
  - Wuji have no try, no I
- It is only when you become naturally sensitive and light towards empty and that empty awareness feeling, no tension feeling, totally light feeling and that is the energy of that bell when it opens VOOM….

How to train it?

- Start with one and then continue to add more when discipline is higher.
- Start with one bell sound/feeling to lightly concentrate to match – choose an earlier chakra will create light from under to up like an air bubble under water expanding open
- Then train to add feeling into all 7 chakras
- Then train to add feeling into all joints
- Then train to add lights inside your body (training sky eyes)
- The train to add this feeling to all 108 nerve points
- Then train to add this feeling to connect the 108 nerve points to create meridian line lights river
- Then create lotus in all 108 nerve points
- Then create lights and lotus in every cell on your body
- Then imagine a Buddha in every lotus and bow to them, call Amitabha Buddha’s name
- “I think this system can help to see Pure Land inside your own body” (Sifu)

# **True Wisdom: No Ego to Observe Ego**

**Summary:**

The concept of “true karma” or “reality” is based on the idea that our intentions, thoughts, words, and actions are interconnected and impact the world around us. Buddha taught that every lifeform has the potential to choose between the “blind gate” or the “awakened gate” in each moment and that true wisdom begins with observing the self without attachment to the ego. Through practices such as the Heart Sutra, one can develop a deeper understanding of causation and free will and eventually purify one’s karma to become a Buddha and help others. Some systems that can aid in this practice include the [Hell Bodhisattva system](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/08/03/hell-bodhisattva-last-buddha/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) and the [Amitabha Buddha Pure Land System](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2020/04/10/wu-wei-into-amitabha-buddha-system/?ref=dropsofdharma.com).

**We learn our hearts through what we have created.**

What we have created follows the system of causation:

**Intention -> Thinking -> Speaking -> Action**

That is why true karma is not your intention and thinking because that is inside. 

True karma, reality, is on the outside. 

So who you connect to is essential.

That is one reason the Buddha explained spending time with spiritual consciousness – those interested in developing characters of kindness, caring, enjoying life and freeing the mind – is so important.

In the beginning, intention and thinking are only possibilities.

Once it goes into the outside world, the causation expands outwards like a pond ripple. **And we will feel the effect back to us like a reflection.**

![True Wisdom is No Ego to Observe Ego](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2023/01/Tim_F_buddha_face_smiling_gently_skin_made_of_stars_and_galaxie_704ad600-2c24-4255-a27d-bcdea03871bd-300x300.png)

True Wisdom is No Ego to Observe Ego

## **Understanding – No Ego**

**No Ego doesn’t literally mean no ego.**

Otherwise, who is learning? Who is teaching?

No ego refers to being free to wisely select and play different egos to match life.

**In Buddhism, there is a philosophy called:** 

**1 Heart, 2 Gates |** 一心分明 | Yī xīn fēn míng.

**This philosophy uses [causation](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2022/10/08/causation-i/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) to describe free will for every life, every second.**

**Every life’s ability in each second is either;**

- **choosing the blind gate** – creating suffering for self and others now or in future; or
- **choosing the awakened gate** – creating wisdom and joy for self and others now and in future.

So all lifeforms have equal potential in this way. 

One difference between a Buddha and ourselves is Buddha, every second, chooses the awakened gate. 

### No Ego – to choose the awakened path of wise action

We cannot choose the awakened gate yet, but we can learn. That is why awakened teachers help developing consciousness, like us. 

They would not waste their time teaching us if we can never become awakened.

**If our heart doesn’t have the ability of 1 Heart and 2 Gates, then there is no free will to choose our future.**

Because it’s our free will to create through the blindness gate and learn to be wise, our hearts can create using both gates.

Free will to be blind and have suffering in our lives, or free will to choose awakened and brightness in our lives.

**Every life always has this potential there.**

To care for both gates, we must awaken our understanding of causation and our intention, thinking, speaking, and action.

#### **True wisdom begins with – No ego to observe ego.**

No ego to observe ego means using eternal wisdom in the present to observe ourselves. 

This practice above, [The Heart Sutra](http://www.heartsutrawisdom.com/?ref=dropsofdharma.com), calls Observing Self Being.

Observe our own life with no-I to learn all the wisdom from blindness and wise experience.

**Both good and bad are blind egos—limited ways to see life.**

So we can create a new principal: A No-I cause – as the basis for awakened ability—a pure Wisdom-I.

This pure Wisdom-I is free from good/bad judgemental ego.

We can grow true spiritual roots in this zone. 

As we practice the 4 Eternal Hearts, we will develop pure spiritual karma.

The longer and deeper we practice, the more space from our regular human-I will appear.

We can then observe the “Earth Human-I.” 

Once we can see through that as an illusion, we can purify our karma deeper. 

Some systems to practice from here are the Hell Bodhisattva system and Amitabha Buddha Pure Land System.

  
**According to Shifu – together, using both systems is the fastest way to become Buddha ourselves to help others in the One Heart, Two Gates illusion.**

Because using you don’t create new ego  
Use that power as foundation, as the right way, as procedure to aware and to observe all your ego.  
And so don’t create new ego, not adding more ego to ego, not fall into ego, not blindly supporting ego and thinking you have no ego.  
Having a bight awareness, understand that five development are empty.  
Then you know that your hearts are happy to go to a Joyful Heart, Appreciate Heart, Willing Heart,  
Observing Wisdom Heart type of pure land space, to learn from Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.  
You will naturally sincerely call Bodhisattva’s and Buddha’s names to go there to learn and come back to help every life out of suffering.  
Heart becomes full of joy, free, ready to learn to more for the future to come back, not only for the Earth, but for all life.  
Feel all life is perfect.

**Wu Wei – The System of No-I into Pure Land**

It means there is a system to make everything run without having to have an I intention into it. Just perfectly doing it.

For examples just look to nature:

- the planets rotating around in space;
- clouds rolling in the wind;
- waves breaking on the beach.

All working with perfect, amazing, detail of changing. In perfect harmony changing.

If we take out our own I, will we be able to do Amitabha Buddha system perfectly?

Here are some tips to help you practice:

- Be aware the eternal system of life and not against it;
- Dharma is the perfect eternal system of life;
- Dharma is always perfect, eternally running;
- When you are aware of Dharma, you can use that eternal perfect system;
- Whether Buddha is aware or not aware of Dharma, it doesn’t change Dharma;
- Dharma is always there perfect;
- When new consciousness becomes Buddha it doesn’t change Dharma;
- The system of Dharma is completely free and unlimited;
- When you are aware of it you also become unlimited and free;
- Wu-Wei is another way to talk about the eternal power of life.
- The more you observe the Dharma, the more you become the universe wisdom, getting rid of your blind-I and becoming the perfect system.
- The more you are aware of Amitabha system, the more you get rid of your blind-I and become pure.
- Free from your personal blind habit/blind I, then all you have is developing wise awareness.
- Perfect wisdom is eternal, so when you are aware of the system of perfect wisdom you are eternal.

Learn, observe and be free. Free to open compassion wise 4 eternal heart, see through all the good and bad to help every life.

Observing that ego is an illusion, as empty as a dream, the Observer is then awakened.

To be free from ego, is to be free from unlimited suffering dreams.

Then free to create an unlimited Dharma-Joy, Pure-land Will,  
And become the 4 Eternal hearts

觀幻身法，非四大法  
離生老病死，法身常淨。

Observing , illusion body  
Not the 4 elements  
Away from birth, ageing illness and death  
Dharma body always pure

觀所知法，非自心法  
離所知障執，妙觀智明。

Observing the thinking

心無有掛礙，究竟涅槃。

Observing all- appearances dharma  
Not the observer

Being nirvana

---

With explanation:

---

觀自在 不生不滅 無上法

Observing Self being 

No birth No death 

No above wisdom

*(If you don’t understand* 

*No worry.)*

觀世間法，非如來法

還一切因緣，解脫輪迴。

Observing the world

No true essence 

Return all causation 

Free from reincarnation 

—-

*Further explanation:* 

*How you are being creates your freedom. Like water and rocks have no-I. No-I being is back to essence, back to your original being. But now we are lost in our ego-I being. Not searching forward anymore, return back to where you came from. Questions disappear, no need to find the answer.* 

—-

觀幻身法，非四大法

離生老病死，法身常淨。

Observing , illusion body 

Not the 4 elements 

Away from birth, ageing illness and death

Dharma body always pure

———-

*Further explanation:* 

Body is not you, but we are so strongly connected to it.

Body is 4 Elements, but 4 elements are an illusion that come from emptiness.

Like a rock thrown into water creating a ripple, the whole universe is that ripple. 

Our hearts throws the stones.

Blindness to throw stones is natural. Once they appear, the final is to disappear.

Once you disappear, you will realise pure water was always there, covered by the ripple.

Ah, you will reach an awareness that your Dharma body is always there. 

You are the whole water, not just the ripples.

——

觀所知法，非自心法

離所知障執，妙觀智明。

Observing the thinking 

Not from our true heart

Away from knowing ego

Develop amazing bright awareness wisdom 

——-

*Further explanation:* 

Not one word or idea comes from ourselves, always from others. 

If we think all our knowledge is ourselves, we hold our own ego view.

We want to hold our ideas, instead of being aware of more angles.

Realising thinking is a trick, then you will develop true intuition power, not trapped in one idea, your heart is open, and remain observing all angles.

Back to no I, pureness.

That ability to remain aware is called amazing bright awareness wisdom.

It is ability, not another idea.

—–

觀所識法，非真實法

離我執我所，空性自如。

Observing what we experienced

Not eternal Dharma 

Away from I and mine

Self essence nature appears 

——

*Further explanation:* 

Experience is awareness ability, creating body, creating information. 

Consciousness, body and surroundings

Awareness boundary is our experience.

Hold nothing then pure awareness can open

Free from body, space, thinking, experience, awareness boundary.

—–

觀一切法，非種種法

心無有掛礙，究竟涅槃。

Observing all- appearances dharma 

Not the observer 

Heart has nothing holding 

Being nirvana

——

*Further explanation:* 

Then you will not stop developing ability back to essence. 

Closer to Bodhisattva. All of this is not me. A is never B.

Aware of my body I am not my body, aware of my thinking, I am not my thinking, aware space, I am not the space, aware of the whole universe, you are not this universe. 

Naturally not wanting to hold, true you was always there. Never have to look for it.

Nirvana.

No Above Wisdom 

These was one night I wrote the poem after meditation 

It’s all the most powerful wisdom, I have learned, join together for 9th meditation techniques , to become Buddha..

Seeing the rock being steady

Our causation I   
Is like a river flow

Come and Go

Our Essence i is like water. H20

Create the river roll and roll   
By itself has no appearance

No I and No Causation

Never Come and never Go

Do we need exist with causation Ego ?   
Or can we remain awaken ?

Like the Essence. Nirvana. Kindness Heart to All.

When your heart is pure and open   
Observing all the angles   
Then you will not have any angle to hold

Awaken from 1 Heart 2 Gate. Both sides.

What is Blind Heart ? What is Spiritual Heart ?

Blind Heart is the seed of acting with our ego feeling. Seeing life in a negative view through the ego key hole. With worry and fear and create greedy anger thought. And fall into a complaining habit.

Spiritual Heart is awaken by aware we are blind. Being humble and curious to learn eternal wisdom. With appreciation towards every situation. And the ability absorb the eternal philosophy to become a joyful loving heart towards every life.

Blind heart is temporary changing by blind causation and action. Can be stuck in those reincarnation until eternal wisdom lights turn on from our heart.

Lights on. Darkness gone. Eternal Wisdom Heart is always there. Kindness loving heart has unlimited force.  
Observing Self Being to create them. Is the way of truly awaken.

# **Dan Tian, 7 Chakras into the Heart Sutra**

In martial arts and Daoist philosophy they combine discussion about the 7 chakras and the 3 energy centres in the body, the 3 Tian (pronounced tee-en, pinyin Tián 田.）In Buddhist philosophy they take this idea further into how to train our hearts.

## **1st Tian: Lower Tian: Dān Tián: 丹田**

Third Chakra – Physical Activity Chakra energy

- In Chinese it means a special medicine field to help you absorb energy.
- So the function of the **Dān** is to use this area as a place to train your body, mind and spirit. So it is only when the herbs/medicine can help you open 7 chakra energy it is called **Dān**.
- It is located on the body, 3 fingers below the belly button / navel.
- Our nerve system balances the body around the third chakra. This area is the centre of gravity where the direction is to feel this area rolling around and feel all the strength connect and is able to absorb energy, grow energy, transfer and redirect energy. Instead of blindly sending power everywhere, this instruction to bring power to the centre calms the body, mind and spirit naturally.
- Practitioners would train the **Dān Tián** through training Qigong and Tai Chi **but why?**
- The relationship is that Qigong and Tai Chi help us to absorb good energy from outside and roll this energy and redirect it through the **Dān Tián**. Qigong and Tai Chi help us to switch from blind human action, where thoughts, feelings and our energy are scattered instead to concentrate the energy force back to the **Dān Tián.** And from there to direct it with technique and skill.
- There is no bridge to this Tian except through physical training and not mental power, and hence why the training books on this subject are often abstract. You have more of a chance to feel it rather than think about it.
- Because we are on Earth and we have gravity, we need to borrow the power from where we connect to the Earth, our spring point, the correct source of all of our energy in martial arts. That is why **Zhang Sanfeng** ([Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese%5Flanguage?ref=dropsofdharma.com): [張](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BC%B5?ref=dropsofdharma.com)[三](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%89?ref=dropsofdharma.com)[丰](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B8%B0?ref=dropsofdharma.com)) renown as the inventor of Tai Chi and living to over 200 years old, instructed power comes from the feet and legs but controlled by the waist (The **Dān Tián.)**
- He also indicated that prioritising reducing tension in this area, where all our important organs are, **increases longevity.**
- This Tian represents the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Chakra. So you need 1st Chakra Desire and 2nd Chakra Passion channeling energy into the 3rd Chakra to train it.
- Beginner techniques include rolling dragon ball, energy balls to practice feeling this rolling which frees up the waist / hips and lower back area – often stiff from sitting and poor posture. Once this area is open, all your major organis have more room to move which feels like a burst of fresh energy in the body. This is your previous stuck channels now open to s=circulate around.
- When this becomes more and more natural, it actually makes you free to move to every angle. You start from your centre, start to open up. If you don’t do that, your body will tighten and squeeze in. Everything in life we do does this and that is what causes ageing, illness and death. Because everything is blocked, how can you have a life? **So now you can understand the principle of martial arts is to help you have a true life.**
- Long time ago we already know from Yi Jin Jing and Bodhidharma, you have to make everything open. Zhang Sang Feng also says you have to make centre straight and everything comfortable. The idea of comfortable is open, free to move, free to create no tension.

## **2nd Tian: Middle Tian: Tan Zhong 坛中**

Fourth Chakra – Heart Chakra energy

- Zhong means middle or centre
- **Tan** this refers to a special sacred, holy space, typically built in an area with powerful feng shui to connect to a lot of spiritual energy to help you develop spiritual force.
- In the Chinese translation it literally means the middle altar.
- **Heart Chakra is centre of the chakras** – top become feeling, bottom up to become feeling

## **Why is the Middle Tian connected to the Heart Sutra in Buddhist Philosophy?**

- The Heart Sutra helps you to understand your True Heart which is the space we develop our internal pure land, it is often referred to as a field to grow pure, kind and wise seeds to share with every life.
- It is where we practice observing self-being, observing life and develop and grow our wisdom ability.
- In Buddhism, our True Heart has no location, because it has no form. But it is still able to connect to any location, any form.
- It the location is connects to is your heart chakra. It unites the top chakras down. You can experience this by placing your hand over your heart and feel how it shifts your energy.
- How to train the Middle Tian? Through meditation.
- Let us understand the levels of meditation to support our focus for training.

## **The 8 Levels of Meditation: Introduction**

- In several Chinese Buddhism books they have these very clear 8 levels of meditation however in the all the English books i’ve read i’ve never found anything so structured. It’s like a detailed way all the levels of meditation (8+1, but 4 warm up levels to get to the 1st one). I thought it was cool because if you are lucky enough for your 3rd eye to open depending on what you see or experience, the levels will help you understand what you saw or experienced.
- Basically there is 4 warms ups to prepare to go into meditation. After you have trained the warm up successful, then you have 8 meditations. This 8 Meditations exist for anyone who has learned how to concentrate. Then you will connect to different types of energy god. First 4 are called Zen, last 4 are called Meditation.
- First 4 help you connect to energy gods who still have material body, and we can change become energy. When higher of these 4, 4 is highest, then it becomes more energy, less materials. Lower number 1, physical can change some energy. 5 to 8 is called Pure Consciousness energy god, which is Empty God. They only live in the consciousness directly can create any type of energy. So this 8 is not Buddhism Meditation. It’s anyone who actually finds a way to concentrate your heart to open up the energy, and connect to all the energy.
- All the energy together is called joint karma. So it’s all the hearts together created it.
- Meditation can help you connect to that energy and use that energy. So you are not limited in this energy. You actually are into a network. In that network, with your concentration you can actually have the whole universe energy to be used. Because that whole universe energy is created by every life form, every consciousness. The connection is in our deepest hidden consciousness.
- Through that meditation connect the energy, then you can start experience different types of space and time. Now we are limited in this physical but once you are in that deep meditation, through your 3rd eye you will travel and see the different experiences. But to experience it is one thing, to stay there is another thing. Beginning you just experience. So that’s 1 to 8, energy god. Last 4, Empty energy god which is only pure consciousness can create. They don’t need a physical or energy form. But first energy god level they have a physical form.
- But this is still not Buddhism. This type of meditation is still in reincarnation.
- Even before the Buddha was on Earth there was a generally accepted 8 levels of meditation. These had been developed by anyone able to concentrate their heart to open up the energy and connect to all the energy.
- All the energy is called joined karma so it is all the hearts in the universe together that create it. All the universe energy is connected to our number 8 Consciousness, our hidden consciousness.
- Meditation can help you connect to that energy and use that energy.
- So you will not be limited to this energy, you will be into a network. In that network the whole universe’s energy can be used.
- Through this you will be able to access different space and different time.
- In Buddhism they refer to this temporarily as the experience of Dharma Joy or Nirvana. A Bodhisattva is a consciousness at a level nearly completely connected to this network at a level they will only develop higher, never dropping back again. A Buddha is a consciousness permanently connected to the universe’s energy, completely perfect, unlimitedly in all time and space.
- Like any training discipline reaching a level temporarily is the beginning and mastery involves freely being able to open and access the level of meditation.
- So to see a space in your third-eye temporarily vs travelling in that space is a function of ability, past karma, access to a teacher, access to certain medicinal herbs and training discipline.

## **The 8 Levels of Meditation: Levels into opening 4th Chakra and Middle Tian**

- Firstly there are 4 warm up ‘levels.’
- The true first four levels are called Zen Meditation. In these levels you can see and travel to energy god realms (God Realm in the Wheel of Reincarnation.) The lower level energy god realms have a material body and a material space. There are 8 dimensions of universes energy god.
- The last 4 levels are called Meditation. In these levels you can see and travel to empty god realms (Highest of the 26 God Realms in the Wheel of Reincarnation.) Empty God realms the consciousness no longer needs materials and has a shape-shifting energy pure consciousness body. There are 18 levels or universe dimensions of empty gods. One type is called abstract space, another is non-boundary space, no limitation of time as empty. Their consciousness is more free and able to live without a set form.
- All 8 levels, all 26 Realms of energy gods all exist in reincarnation and as such, can eventually die. They cannot escape the destruction of their universe.
- All of these 26 dimensions of energy gods are within the system of reincarnation.
- The level that Buddha taught was the 9th level of meditation. This is where we truly open the 4th Chakra, the Middle Tian, into Pure loving Equal Heart to every life. This is what changes the consciousness intention from being reborn in an energy realm, to the ability to connect and be born into a Pure Land, universes outside of reincarnation to learn from buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In this zone, a consciousness is both pure, free and wise to be able to through their free will, be reborn into any realm in reincarnation to help other life awaken.
- The heart is a direction to learn buddhism and there fort is why it refers to the 7 Chakras and the 3 Tians through a connection to the Heart Sutra – that is the guiding direction to directly open up all the energy in a wise way.

### **How to train:** Summary

- Firstly to access the Middle Tian we need to have discipline to train Qigong and Tai Chi to open the lower Dan Tian.
- From there we are able to calm our energy to then focus it through training meditation techniques.
- Buddha shared a 9th level, called Back to Essence, Nirvana, which is the final level which helps you to freely access all the other 8 and much more.
- Train back to essence, using meditation techniques

### **How to train:** Details

Our normal heart is not our true heart. It is called ego act heart. Blind heart, ego heart, blind karma heart. That is not the heart this technique is meant to open. It is already open which causes all the problems. Blind action non-stop open.

In every move, you create 1, 2, 3 Chakra Dantian, and then in every move you start creating resting heart, joyful heart, and then mix into it. Then you will start to have the very joyful feeling to do the move. 

It will start to make your number 4 Chakra start being built the spirits of joyful heart. Pure heart. Delicate heart. Empty heart. Sensitive awareness heart. Pure Observing Heart. All of them will appear itself.

So now when you continue to bow, you can also practice that. Try to create that Resting joyful heart. Pure, sensitive, delicate heart. Then once you connect to that, connect to your movement of bowing. Then through your bowing make them all join together. 

So with now 1, 2, 3, it’s not difficult to do number 4\.

[https://vimeo.com/user146884326](https://vimeo.com/user146884326?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

#### Technique 1

- Not to go forward, to search external outside, not looking for to find from inside. Neither is when true heart can open.
- Resting Heart is where it begins,
- Your heart no more judging or searching. No more thinking, free from all of that.
- That is the foundation.
- When your eyes can see but you are not seeing
- When your ears can hear, without judging what you hear
- Then your heart is resting, no more in that waterfall of searching.
- Not let your awareness power be sucked into outside non-stop, never enough.
- That is the beginning to develop **Tan Zhong 坛中**
- You don’t get anything, you don’t want anything.
- The reason **Tan Zhong 坛中** doesn’t open is because you always want to get something.
- The moment you realise you have been trapped in constant searching and let it go is where **Tan Zhong 坛中** can open.
- When that moment appear you have an Ahhhh relaxing feeling, you will start to feel light.
- Light start to create a joyful smile.
- If you train Qigong and Tai Chi, use that moment to practice your Tai Chi and that can open 1 – 4 chakras.
- Bring the joyful creation into the motions
- Tai Chi helps into by rolling dan tien, not big moves, open like an energy lotus in every joint, light breathing

[https://vimeo.com/user146884326](https://vimeo.com/user146884326?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

### Technique 2: 

- Imagine a beautiful energy lotus shooting lights in all of your joints opening, blooming delicately opening up your body making everything soft and sensitive
- Joyful and light and beautiful
- Sensitive awareness heart and pure awareness heart

### Technique 3:

- Use technique 2 into bowing to a Buddha or Bodhisattva you respect.
- Warm up your body using Qigong Tai Chi
- Then practice opening Heart Chakra / Middle Tian
- Then read philosophy to purify your mind (5th Chakra)
- Then while bowing think about your will to learn from that Buddha in their Pure Land is Chakra 6 and 7.
- This then aligned all Chakras towards spiritual direction and open all 3 Tians which is why this is the technique most common in my research to create third eye opening experiences.

Each heart is incredible because it is not create-able.

Though reincarnation heart doesn’t change, the connection changes.

Blind action is reincarnation.

Observing eternal wisdom, observing self-being is the key to be away from blind action.

Por Ler bour ler means reach the final through awaken understand the eternal truth. Awaken to Bodhisattva.

Heart pureness and potential is the same. Heart level of development is different, creating all the different appearance.

Create positive or create blindness, both are our heart, one heart two gates.

Become the four eternal hearts, guide our blindness into four eternal hearts wisdom and compassion.

Found this writing on a Map For a complete heart in my notes. Brought my heart back into joyful appreciation just reading it. So sharp and direct 🙏🏼☺️🕉🥲

Complete Heart  
Being more aware – depends how strong your heart is.  
Complete heart and True will equals all your power joined together.  
Strong will, becomes complete will. Able to discover by yourself. Heart is complete.  
Life should be completely joyful, but joyful without stupidity.  
When you aren’t greedy, possessive, wrong principle behind or stuck in searching ego. Then you can learn completely, your wisdom will grow much faster as it is pure. You can then use Buddha observing power to grow wisdom. Then you are using pure will, Buddha power.  
Lost in ego and pollution you can’t use this power.  
Follow change and enjoy without possessive and greed, then it can become pure will.  
Whatever you get lost, continue observing, every second and moment, observe and let it go. The more you observe the more power you develop to understand every angle of life.  
Heavy serious equals lost.  
Whatever you take as serious and so important is your ego. Anything serious related to you or I and mine.  
Care about discipline to follow philosophy, be aware of others – compassion.  
Main Key  
The ability to see through life is the basic. You must have this ability to develop further. You must realise all this ends to nowhere. Understand what is life, that’s it, everything else will change and be lost as illusion and negative karma.  
Illusion is a changing process, there is nothing you can be greedy or possessive about. Realise this and you’ll have a pure heart to share and enjoy life, because you are not trying to be possessive and grab anything anymore. Sharing heart is pure.  
Learn wisdom to have this ability!  
Don’t be lazy, be disciplined to have this power!  
You have to understand what is wrong to be aware what is right. Then you will start to have a nature to have a beautiful kind heart to trust yourself and respect yourself and life. This will have other nice people connect to you. Generous and kind in a wise way though, to develop wisdom, not blindness, to the right people.  
You create spirits, then share it with other life that have the same power. Appreciate life. Follow the three conditions in a nature joy heart, create and it will appear.

Must purify first – see through illusion nothing to be greedy or possessive for.  
Understand the value of life through wisdom and compassion. You become pure wisdom and compassion. 🙏🏼🕉

# The secrets of life and the universe

To find the answer to understand life and the universe, it’s not the external space, external space just reflects our internal universe.

The internal universe you can only discover by aware of our body and our consciousness.

To awaken the mysterious unlimited force of life and the universe, we only have to understand the human body and the source where our intention grows from, which is our heart.

**How to be aware of our body:**

1. Yoga/flexibility
2. Functional muscle development
3. Yi Jin Jing – ligament development (which is strength, flexibility and agility United as one)
4. Bone marrow- rises immune system and life force
5. Tai Ji and Chen Kun –  
  1. Tai Ji is internal yin and yang energy system.
  2. Chen Kun is external big bang and black hole system. Through training tai ji we can open internal energy to connect to external universe energy.
6. Wu Ji – Unlimited force of changing and unlimited force of no changing. Essence force of all the being. The force of a Wu Ji creates all the existing, but itself doesn’t move, doesn’t change, has no form, it’s the force closest to our heart..
7. 5 senses – come from our heart
8. 7 chakra – 7 spiritual energy centers. These seven energy centers connect to the deepest layers of our heart, hidden consciousness. Which is unlimited intention of all life.
9. Awaken consciousness, also known as god consciousness or Buddha consciousness

Through the above training we will be able to open up our internal universe to recreate our external universe.

Internal universe is our true consciousness, once it’s open it becomes awakened consciousness.

Awakened consciousness can go beyond all nature and free from the law of the universe. No limitation from birth or death. Unlimited free will to create amazing space and time for experience unlimited joy.

This is highest consciousness as our perfect idea of God, or unlimited kindness and wisdom heart as Buddha.

Because every life is consciousness, every life has equal potential to become the highest awakened consciousness.

### Time is a double illusion - Aware True Dharma Pure Heart

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:26.000Z
Time is a double illusion  
Aware True Dharma Pure Heart

A new view of time as a double illusion.

Time is an illusion – because consciousness has no form, so there is no one there to have a feeling of time. Time is just a production of consciousness and space moving.  
Time is an illusion – Everything appears like a six-sense movie but keeps changing so actually nothing remain there. If it remained there no change, no time. Time only exist through that illusion.

Time is an illusion because even though time only exists in the present, how can we find it? The moment you try to find it is a new present. The moment you try to be aware of it, a newer-new present. In fact the moment you try to be aware of anything a new present keeps coming.

So any time there is changing, there is a new present. Present only exists through changing.

For example, to lift my arm to pick something up every point in that whole movement there is a new present. The changing itself makes you aware of the present, if everything was frozen there is no time, no present, you can’t feel time. When the movie stops, no time anymore.

Because everything is constantly changing you can feel time. So another way to think of the whole universe is that it only exists in that changing present. So little!

So when you change something you experience a different present. But whatever you change still one thing not change, only make you experience the present moment. You can only have the present. So from that view, everything constantly changes but the present never changes.

That is a new view of time as a double illusion.

Connect above idea to Amitabha Buddha system

We live in a whole universe existing as that present.

And we are actually trapped in there. Each present is a causation connected to many other causations and keeps flow like a river and keeps rolling and you know that rolling came form many causes making it roll. And that rolling now creates rolling in the future, continually without break.

So say you have an apple seed – is it a cause or a result? Both.

From the past tree create an apple cause to create the seed. And from the future this seed might grow into another tree.

So present is also like that – we are stuck in blindness from the past. We are the result of all those blind causes but we continue as that blind cause into the future.

So Buddhism is trying to teach freedom – understand you are a result of blind causes, so in the present changing blindness… woooom… change become free.

What is blindness?

Blindness is when you don’t know you are a blind result – you will have so much ego, craziness, possessive, towards the changing present illusion.

But NO ONE can win this. You can win as much as you want, and right up to the point you lose everything. And realise I never win anything and I am here just to experience that I believe I win something, experience something I think I win, I own, but truly nothing can be held, it is an illusion.

Since space changing is an illusion, time is an illusion as well, one day you will wake up from that time and realise it is illusion and that is the first awakening – to realise time is illusion from the illusion of space – your heart will create freedom, you will have a forever new, Dharma I that appears.

You will not have a blind act / react searching, cause/effect non stop in the present trapped I, you will not have such an I anymore, realise all of that is blind, illusion I. So you remain observing freedom and become Dharma Freedom Pure I.

When a few Dharma Freedom Pure I appears then you can say:

“Ok, I don’t want these blind causes to create my life anymore, each changing present into nonsense, and then possessive for nothing!”

Instead, recreate your present in a wise way – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Then you stop being influenced by everything around you.

Once that happens you start to become a will. Your will influence everything changing around you. You start from Pure Dharma I, start to create causation waves – Four Eternal Heart waves, create natural wise-being, so that everything you do you want to have wisdom behind to calculate from every angle, not just blind with personal.

When you do something, be aware there is an intention of a kind heart behind to help yourself and everyone, that is the compassionate heart.

Wise compassion heart as a natural being, become your centre, become centre for others as a Pure Land to develop, help them to develop their own will as their centre, and so on. Like apple seeds become an apple tree, create many apples, and many more seeds.

The present is still there which will become an incredible unlimited Dharma present to help them to create their own Pure Land.

Consciousness always free can create a forbearing unlimited suffering world, as well, one heart two gates.

When your heart can understand time is an illusion and space is an illusion then you are back to the essence back to your pure, I pure Dharma and from there Pure I has unlimited potential to create for what is the best for life and what it should be for yourself and everyone.

# Intention

## Introduction to Intention

### What is the definition of intention?

Any power that exists is an intention

Without intention there is no life.

So intention **almost** equal to life.

But that line is a little unclear compared with the word consciousness.

Intention is consciousness. Consciousness is unlimited intention. 

So intention itself is just a word, not precise, it can be related to many things. 

**Consciousness is life.**

If something has no consciousness, no awareness power there is no life just like a rock.

So life is not what you are aware of, life is your awareness power – the power to be aware of your body and surroundings. 

**The most common mistake is** we take what we experience as life. But that is just the information you receive so you don’t call the information, life. The power to receive that information is life. 

This mistake is very common in almost every life because we are trapped in the information we receive. That is where the blindness comes from. You don’t even know your true power, your true life anymore and then you become a blind slave of that information and because information come from many, many creations of many other consciousness and those causes also can be blind. So if you receive creations from other blind consciousness, and you let them guide you then your life is also going to be blind!

**And we do not want that!**

**We want to be awakened, we want information from awakened consciousness, complete truth, wise, joyful.**

Consciousness is unlimited intention.

Consciousness is life.

To awaken means to understand life and not get lost by all this blind information. Because information is all the creation power from every life. And that power able to create can be blind, can be awakened. 

## Regular vs Spiritual Intention

Regular intention we call blind habit intention. The path to the final is to create spiritual intention so we will understand these two deeper.

They are both part of your true force. You can create both. We always start with blind one. Like when you start painting – the first drawing best in the world? Or more likely very bad and get better, learn more and more. Wherever you start is never perfect.

If you want to draw a perfect circle it starts with one point and doesn’t look like a perfect circle until you complete it. Then maybe you try one million times to draw it and it doesn’t look like a circle. It is not perfect.

Then you go into spiritual zone, ask yourself *“How am I going to make this circle appear?”*

You realise if at any present point you don’t make it correct, you don’t concentrate to make it perfect, then perfect circle cannot appear. So it is not try to hurry to make perfect circle appear. It is make sure in this painting of this circle, each point, this curve, this direction and in the present how you use that power, and guiding the direction have to be perfect.

Daoism call that Dao. They teach us already the spiritual intention is Dao. It means, your goal and your present have to all be perfect. It is only when present is perfect, can the perfect goal can appear. And so every present is important. Every present in your life is meaningful and is important. So don’t just concentrate in your blind future. Make a great goal but if you are right away crazy about it, it is blind already! And you will never make the circle appear.

Every point you will realise you need wisdom and that is Spiritual Intention Zone. Spiritual intention zone need every present connected to wisdom.

That power is also in us. And how to make that power appear? Is through actually observing all your 84,000 blindness intention in every second.

**You can only develop wisdom through observing your blindness. That is why we say it is okay to have 84,000 blindness habit. That is where the nutrients, the muddy dirt, the power to make your lotus appear. No problem at all, your lotus will come out beautiful and pure. That power is in you too.**

Every second, calm down and connect to wisdom. Use wisdom to deeply observe and calculate, to be aware and to act/react, then one heart two gates. Your heart doesn’t have to go into blind habit zone, into greed, hate, stupidity loop. The opposite, you can live in every present, no time stress, in a wise zone, in a kindness, generous, joyful heart zone.

Whatever you connect is whatever you are going to become.

When I do Taiji, I don’t just think about the ideas only I have to feel the power, feel the foot through your puma stomach curve up and become centre and flow into the hands, I have to feel that and think there is a little twisting Tai Chi sign through my sprint point whurrrrrr into my centre and then go to my hands, **I feel that and then I move. I don’t feel that I don’t move.**

And that make every move count for me, every move is so easy it’s Taiji, because I create it. Not just do it wrong, then feel what I do wrong and then correct it – that is too late. And then always try to correct never going to become Taiji. Just directly create it in a philosophy zone. That means you have to live in the present to feel the philosophy. Then you will receive it.

So intention is unlimited power in you. It is the force of life but there is a blind zone as a teacher. There is a wisdom zone as a development.

Blind zone if you do not observe and purify it and learn from it, its a blind zone which will create greed, hate, stupidity, create suffering. But if you learn from it you will develop unlimited wisdom.

**And then it becomes unlimited Dharma Joy.**

Dharma means system that means you through observing it create a wise system. 

More system, more joy.

So you want unlimited joy? Then you have to create unlimited incredible, wise, kind intention systems and once those systems are built, finally all the muddy dirt become lotus your life will become just like a lotus, pure and beautiful.

So you have non stop power to create

## What is Intention? The seed, the field and the farmer

### Summary

# 

Intention has 3 parts.

Intention is like a field, supporting everything to grow.

Intention is like the seeds, unlimited potential able to grow and develop in any direction

Intention is the farmer, choose what to grow.

### Part 1: Intention is like a field, supporting everything to grow.

The basic intention is this unlimited intention.

Intention is a hidden supporting power with unlimited possibilities there which is equal to the word consciousness. 

Like a garden/field can grow many things. That garden has intention, the intention to support everything to grow, but at that stage the garden itself has no good o bad, but can support all the good or bad. And that supporting power is one kind of intention. It is so deep you are not aware of it. There is something to support you to do everything, try everything, be curious about everything.

It support you in a very no-I way. No good, no bad, no judgment. It gives you the possibility, the potential force. When we say consciousness has unlimited potential that is this power, the garden can grow anything. Unlimited support power for your life.

Consciousness has another name – True Heart or Blind Heart. When it is awakened we call it True Heart. When it is blind we call it Blind Heart. Both are the same heart. Like hand opened, or hand closed, still just one hand.

Awakened heart means you can do both – blind and awakened. Blind Heart limited in blind heart. You are aware of what does it mean blind, but you are not trapped in it. If you are not aware of what does it mean blindness, you can’t help people out of that trap. That’s why Bodhisattva compassion heart, before they become Bodhisattva they just have willing to be Bodhisattva by open compassion want to help others. At that moment again to observe and be aware what is their blindness – kind of like what I (Sifu) am doing now. Have to learn again to be aware of all kinds of blindness. Because I have already realised my own blindness, and free from it, free from it and back to essence, back to empty. Out of body. But that power is only reach first type of wisdom see through life is illusion, aware the essence is pure and is empty and then you are free from all of these blindness but there is no compassion towards other life, I’m free yay! Life doesn’t go that way, eventually you will come back into reincarnation. Because that is another type of ego which is powerful. Can see everything is a trap, a trick and all temporary. Can be free from that but not the ego yet. And if you cannot free from ego then ego can bring you back into many, many tricks. Loneliness will haunt you. Lonely is not a good thing. Sharing is first purpose of life. Of course you want freedom for yourself and you want independent, but you have to learn as foundation and then share all the good things. And that is called perfect life.

And we have been learning towards that direction for many years.

### Part 2: Intention are the unlimited seeds to develop and grow.

All of the detail of these intention are the intention seeds

Intention seeds each one can connect to the other one. Each intention limited in its own way, but can join together to all the others.

Like apple seed is limited to grow an apple tree. But once it grows up, create many trees, many apples, many seeds, then it become unlimited possibility of apple trees.

Each intention seed has a chance to connect to unlimited.

But unlimited in this part of the intention is not supporting, it is developing. Individual developing to connect to unlimited.

Every second, there is 84,000 of those intention seeds, running like a waterfall.

The one we use is called “United Character” to make all these seeds have a centre and that united one can be blind as a habit at that moment we call that **Blind Karma**. 

That united one can also become a wisdom character. When that happens we call that **Will** because it is from your heart, you are willing to. And it is not short-term wish, it is long-term and using Eternal Wisdom – I Will do it!

You know by your heart, by your mind, you know with all your awareness all the wisdom is totally correct.

So we don’t want all of these seeds to grow in a blind way, they will develop even more, like a snowball. Little blindness karma, later become bad karma, later become Hell Karma – crazy.

The opposite. Awakened Will, beginning just a little power, just like, “Oh my mind understands why I choose that, wise choice, I want life in that direction.” Later you practice and practie it becomes stronger, and then you make the skill appear by your heart, not your mind, then it becomes your ability, then the will or the seed become eternal. But not only eternal to help yourself but also eternal to help others, double wisdom. 

And that is perfect Bodhisattva system.

And with that perfect Bodhisattva system you will reach the final goal, become perfect awakened Buddha.

We together for a long time basically come from these two powers. One is we want to be awakened want to learn wisdom. The second is we want to develop a good heart, a sharing heart, compassion heart, equal heart. To help every life, to help each other. Of course that is not easy! To be greedy and ego is easy because the whole world is doing that.

So in the end the easy one, will make very difficult, suffering life. And the difficult one to build, eventually become a joyful life.

“So life is tricky, easy is not easy, because you are going to have a suffering life. 

And difficult is not difficult, because you are going to develop a detailed and complete purify system with wisdom and compassion to make life become easy and joyful.”

Tricky is not tricky, because for wise awakened people tricky is just complicated.

Life remain complicated but not tricky anymore.

Consciousness not awakened, see life as simple, but life never simple.

### Part 3: Intention is the farmer who makes the choice.

Farmer Intention.

We have a supporting power as our basic to help us to grow everything.

We have unlimited all kinds of seeds as possibilities to develop in a direction.

But to grow in any direction we have a choice.

And who makes the choice? The farmer.

You could be a good farmer, or a bad farmer. Bad farmer have many types. Like to pull the plants out of the ground to make them grow faster… then they all die. Ambitious farmer.

So farmer is what kind of intention – the power to choose and guiding the direction intention. Farmer is the leader and protector and developer.

So to become awakened is about wise choice becoming a professional farmer.

Those are the 3 types of intention.

## Question: Is observing an intention?

Things you want to observe, there is an intention there.

Things you do not observe, means you do not put attention, to that intention.

**When you pay attention to something that is the intention.**

So observing is through intention.

Observing power to have wise choice belong to farmer as well.

# Course Content – Body, Mind, Spirit

The incredible truth of life

After understanding this map of life , you will have no doubt about life, and able to developing brave heart strength to enjoy life 😊💪

## Vision for the course

(SIFU) The reason I want to bring this course to the world is this sentence:

**“We are alone in life.”**

Even in a big crowd we feel that way. So to support everyone to get away from forebearing everything or saying “Ah, It’s my own problem.”

Forbear is basically saying there is no solution.

Because we don’t think about the subject “Being a human or being a life, being alive.”

Big subject but no one aware of that

It’s a human it’s normal

Want to make everyone Wake

And realise we should have a map to guide us

Make them aware of this

Then we offer the guidance and leading and accompany their journey

Sky eyes and sky ears they need it use to it and come in there to find answer

Combined with all Daoism Buddhism yoga Taiji philosophy and natural talents and 30 years teaching and learning with the group a lot of power

Further background

Read all philosophies: Greek, Roman, Chinese, European, Indigenous, observe and mix them all together to understand life.

## Youtube Channel Name: Best life on Earth

## How humans create aging illness and death

If we know how to avoid the causes of aging and death, true health and forever young can appear

Start with health idea

The reason we get illness and aging and towards deaths and destroy our health is because we spend most of our life making a slave of our bodies.

Like driving a racing car and never going into the pit stop garage and don’t know how to fix it themselves – so the racing car not going last long and surely breakdown and then sold for parts.

Not only that our brain will create a lot of poison thoughts to add in more stress for our bodies.

Psychology will develop a lot of fear to help grow the stress even bigger.

We are not only talented making a slave of our bodies we are in fact excellent masters at how to destroy and torture our bodies. Without having to try.

And our body will surely return this back to our hearts.

Finally we into a zone we can’t continue to live anymore because we are not able to function our body and our mind torment us with blockages of worries. Our psychology becomes a vast ocean of new and existing suffering.

So our vulnerable heart will be convinced there is no way to live anymore.

And that is how we create aging, illness and death.

Luckily we can understand the cause, delete the cause, create a new cause.

Understand different ways to have a life.

And to live in a proper, wise system you will see the true power of life beyond what we know.

Our life can get stronger and we can win the trick of time and stay young.

Able to remain agile, lively, innocent and joyful.

Able to discover the mysterious power of eternal life.

Training

Introduce as a exercise system

Physical

Mental

Psychology

1- physical

Baby breathe and move

Baby relaxed and soft whole body love in the present

Their long life waiting for them and they surely young

People in graveyard

Every part of them is like a piece of wood of rock and they can’t breathe

Obsvuous which way of breathing is the true force of life.

1. Mental

Joyful heart before any thought

If heart is not joyful any thought will be poison

To ourselves and others

Before thoughts appear we have to discover our joyful heart

Through that positive and bright thoughts and ideas will appear constantly to benefit ourselves and others

1. Psychology

Both above together is psychology

“Example: you appreciate someone habit to please other people hopefully to earn their love but that is a wrong psychology” reason is no one can be satisfied with what you do, because of ourselves black hole greed in every life – that is like one little drop in the desert you won’t make it wet!

Opposite way – if you really want to earn respect and make then love you – plan a good day to develop yourself become more healthy charming and they admir3 you and try to please you a easier eay!

We can never find happiness and satisfied from wanting more

To make our psychology remain content and joyful our feeling will have to train to live in the present without possessive comparing and searching heart – greed

These three types of “never enough” PCS Is where the suffering river run to the ocean

Each subject has many rivers with different branches but if the rain from the clouds is already pure then all the water will be sweet take care of many thirsty life forms and become a joyful force of ocean supporting many life to live free

Out of these three your psychology can become pure water.

And this is just a map. 

We have every day different wisdom to free from poison habits so your aouchokogy remain pure and joy and carefree to live in every present with appreciation heart🐧

Say goodbye to old and illness forever

## Your new future: Into Moving Meditation

[https://secrettruthoflife.com/2020/01/20/moving-meditation-course-part-1/](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2020/01/20/moving-meditation-course-part-1/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

**We exist like one drop of rain drop in the sky.**

And the birth is from the clouds, falling to the earth become part of the waterfall and exciting rush into the river and then flow to the unknown ocean.

This drop seems individual but also connected to every other drop and when you reach the final you will realise it was never alone. There is a big unlimited ocean have the same essence as this drop and will unite and melt together with every drop and become one amazing unlimited force of ocean.

Individually we feel vulnerable individually we feel fear and worry and there is birth and death, there is illness and death and all kinds of suffering can appear.

But if we can truly see through that drop, that essence was never alone, it was connected to everything and we are aware we are also not alone. Every life may come from a different journey but ending to the same the big circle of water, from the ocean steam up become the clouds, again, fall back as an individual rain drop and then exciting again into the birth of waterfall and fall into the unknown new journey, like this we experience life in many different reincarnations.

And each reincarnation we again blindly try to find this circle and reach the future and try to search and try to find the final journey but we never find the final journey , as that drop will never find the final journey either because the eternal circle means the circle itself is the journey not there is a point become a journey. To continue to follow the circle is the journey. So able to live in present able to enjoy our journey, is the final journey.

We will one day realise to stop reincarnation is not to stop reincarnation, it is to enjoy reincarnation as every present and that is where reincarnation stops, that is where you reach no beginning no end, live in timeless zone, and finally out of reincarnation, live in will of joy live in will of being a kind person, only when you are able to see the whole life as equal heart where every life every drop is all equal water and then kindness heart will start to truly appear.

Because each drop is the same water, each life is same ability to aware we looking for happiness and try to escape from suffering so every life are equal.

And then you start willing to share all your joy to yourself because you as well are equal to others, and if you can’t create joy for yourself, you can’t create it for others if you are being bitter suffering self, or you can share is that bitter suffering self.

Most common mistake is we blame everything on the whole world on to everybody, and put the responsibility on them for every situation but we forgot we have the power to change the situation we have power to observe and reguiding the whole situation, for that actually all the responsibility is in each individual.

Each drop, if it is not blind then he will be able to choose to have harmony heart, to harmony with every other drop and harmony itself is joy, it is peaceful and joy and harmony give you a free heart to observing all other possibilities when you narrow yourself into one direction you will not be able to see the other possibilities but when you are harmony with everything and give your heart a rest to observe and see all other possibilities then you will realise, oh, unlimited potential suddenly all appear many other other angles you haven’t seen, and when you saw them, then you find new opportunity, and then you become the creator, and you create your own reincarnation, for that reincarnation is no more a blind reincarnation, reincarnation become a free choice, a joyful will, recreated by your own will, your own observation, your own wisdom ability, and that is a subject for you to connect to your entire life, which is our body mind and spirits,

What is our body? Our body is built by four elements, our breathing is the air, our temperature is the fire, most parts of our body are built by liquid water, rest of dfew % left is where the materials form. Joined together as our subject. And when these four are in harmony, health appears.

But that is only physical.

If our minds constantly worry, it will affect this temple. It is like someone who live in a beautiful temple but worry about the whole world so he is not really in paradise, or heaven or a pure land – actually he is living in a hell, a nightmare. But if somebody carry a pure joyful heart and not affected by all the other blindness from friends and family and all the other people you work with people who pass through on the street, anyone you might meet and have a negative impact to you, and none of them, you take serious if you are able to block, have an invisible wall, not let any negative into you, you become a centre to affect back, if not, all negative they bring to you and no matter where you go, you will carry that negative with you.

But if stay sharp and stay free you create positive, then anywhere you go is a temple, everywhere you go is a Pure Land, everywhere you go is wisdom.

To bring no worry mind, and psychology remain pure, joy and free and that will also affect our 4 element temple our body and all these 3 are not even separate, they affect to each other they are 3 different subjects as one. Like you have 5 fingers, but still one hand. And one hand you can’t separate those 5 fingers. So body mind and spirits we have to aware to develop ability to take care of them and then true health appears and that is also the true way to be kind to yourself.

And then if you are being a true healthy person, in all these 3 angles you are able to being that amazing person and share that amazing character and energy and health with everyone. And that is also the true kind for everyone. So health, wisdom and kindness are all united in this case.

And to do all this, to make it happen, make it all become healthy we need precise and logical training and this training course is to wake up your unlimited course, your mind out of worry and become no worries be happy! Singing…

And then make your psychology care free – it doesn’t mean you don’t care, you just care in free style, you care in a wise way not in a worry way, in a constantly useless way, except make suffering for yourself. So you are able to enjoy to care in a logical calculation and to make your physical back to healthy and harmony and out of fear of illness aging and then to find your spirits which is your true essence.

Your essence is not this body, if somebody live in the temple that person is definitely not the temple. So your true spirits live in the temple, this four element body. So one day your four element body will get old, ageing and doesn’t mean your true self ages. Because your true self is not this temple, it is connected to this temple. In fact your spirits is your wisdom creation ability. So only when you start to create wise lifestyle your true self shine and grow and develop finally eternal force appears.

Consciousness has this ability, to take care of four element temple. To be free from the worry to make all the psychology stress disappear, consciousness the essence and our consciousness is not just our mind. There are 8 consciousness, each one has different function, but as 5 fingers still one hand, 8 consciousness still one heart. So your true self is your true heart. But the 8 consciousness heart.

What are those 8 consciousness hearts?

Eyes

Ears

Nose

Tongue

Physical body (touch)

Eyes to see

Ears to hear

Nose to smell

Tongue to taste

Body to touch

Those experiences are the first 5 consciousness. They have different functions but all still can connect to each other.

When you drive past a radio station you know there can be music to hear. When you hear you can then imagine what kind of voice and who is the singer you can guess and imagine the singer from memory what they look like, they have all kind of connection to each other and they are all connected to your six consciousness thinking.

Each information from your 5 consciousness can become ideas in your consciousness and become a memory. And then all this ideas are all come from numbers 7 consciousness, which is your I feeling. You feel you are the one doing the seeing, listening, smelling, tasting, experience the touching and thinking. I feel I am not others. My feeling through this I is not from others. It is called I consciousness which is number 7.

And all of this I from the day before you are born exists. And you out of this lifetime you will back to your original I. Original I is not this one temporary this lifetime I. Original I is called hidden consciousness. Number 8, which is your true hidden deep ability. And all this 8 consciousness is your true self. Your spirits. We will continue in a further course to make all 8 consciousness awakened in a joyful way, in a healthy way in a wise way. Ina kindness way to enjoy every part of the positive ideas of life and to also develop have true activity to make each part can be trained can be acted can be reacted can be shared, can be in a daily life.

We will provide you more interesting, exciting and easy exercises such as chair exercises. Chair we sit down all the time and create so much suffering, a lot of people have back pain and a lot of people have bad posture, so because we need, or we used to, sit down too much in the chair, especially in a modern day. Information fly at light speed everywhere to us. It is like there is a black hole of curiosity suddenly opened up, you can goto youtube, facebook, tv, movie, instagram, or call phone all day long, non stop, so much information, and that make us have no time to absorb what is going on. Just being, what’s going on, but don’t know, what’s going on, that s called blind action.

Blind action create blind suffering, so we can change this habit, from blind action sit down too long to use this chair as a treasure tool and we going to teach you how to sit down in a chair, use it to correct your posture, correct your tension, calm down your mind, make your heart free into joy and we will follow to offer you another incredible exercise, lie down exercises.

You don’t want to get up but you have to because job is waiting for you! Kids crying? All kinds of things you worry have to be done! So you get up with a suffering body.

And why is it a suffering body? Because you have been blindly lying with your posture and gravity pull your posture create a shrinking effect, all your ligaments, muscles and tendons become tight and then shrunk together and then they day after night, night after day, they become tighter and tighter, finally your posture become so bad, what does it mean freedom to move your body anymore!

Suddenly you realise you shrunk a few cm in a few years since you haven’t measured. So you measure again, well you just say “oh it’s age?” But it’s not about age, it’s about GRAVITY and blindness acting. And lie down if you do it right, you will not against gravity if you know how to lie down to exercise you will learning how to properly use gravity.

### Order of Meditation Techniques

Training

Why is training the first one? Because any power in life comes from training. In life we can reach anything through training – some things need one lifetime, others need a million lifetimes to reach.

It depends on how deep the power is.

It is possible to train towards becoming a devil as well – Devil powers do not just come from a bad intention, any power requires a lot of training wisdom and awareness.

All the talent and all the abilities in life are developed through training. SO training surely comes first.

Born with (linked to training)

Born with it is not actually born with it. It comes from training, that why it is second. But it is the level that you are born with it. TO that stage you are born with it.

#### 

Mantra

Is actually when you train and train but you haven’t reached born with ability yet. Higher consciousness know that you have a heart that wants to learn the ability and wisdom, but you are not at the intuition born with ability yet. So they leave the mantra as a sign.

But if you never train you will never show that your heart is sincere to learn, and those mantras will not come to you.

‘Oh this person has been training but has not reached ‘born with’ ability yet. Well I will leave some tips for him’.

He can use the mantra to connect to higher wisdom. This is why mantra is number 3.

Medicine

Medicine include all kinds of things, Chinese herbs, mushrooms, LL.

All medicine must need a teacher to guide the training in a spiritual direction. The medicine can open up your energy so much, and if you don’t have a teacher to guide you won’t know what’s going on. Or you will over use the medicine in the wrong way.

Or addicted to it.

Medicine will help you in a quicker way.

Karma

Done something good in the past, now this lifetime you have the chance to meet someone that can help you. So you either want to have someone help you or you want to help someone. These two karmas can connect.

Earth power normally just have a need to learn.

Some people that start with Karma, are just beginners

**Wisdom**

Wisdom is the most important one and the best one. Because once you can reach this you can guide yourself to longer get lost because the wisdom is yours. This is why all the Buddhism books still say that wisdom is the most important one.

All other ones connect to wisdom

In fact I already teach you wisdom power – experiencing magic through bowing or training.

When our senses can go to a more heightened pure power stage something will happen. We will be aware of something.

**Why is wisdom important?**

To remove suffering from one’s life by having a better understanding of themselves and the meaning of life to see through all the illusion

**Cause and affect**

Wisdom can open up opportunities in life by enabling us to see our situation from many different angles. This gives us the ability to see and ultimately make the right choices.

To remove suffering by being more aware of the cause of problems, rather than just the result. If we can see the cause of our problems we can eliminate them before they happen.

Wisdom is important to bring true joy into our lives and the lives of others – eg. 4 eternal hearts

To eliminate suffering from ourselves and others

To free yourself from your current life situation.

Become more aware of your own greediness, and eliminate it to become more free

Wisdom is the understanding of complete truth, so is the only way to get to complete Freedom (Matt).

Learning Wisdom allows you to know what is truly valuable in your life, opposed to things that aren’t of such importance. It leads to developing a more happy and satisfying life

Summary

Greed power has no end.

Wise people know how to have enough.

Stress comes from whatever is beyond that which is “enough”.

Summary

“Whatever you own and are possessive to in the material world it creates a jail to hold onto you. Except if what you own is something meaningful.

Any greed is a black hole of meaningless and never enough. Trapped.”

### Exercise – Back to Essence Observing 

*Recommended practice time: About 5 minutes*

Many Buddhism textbooks teach us how to get rid of suffering and back to joy. 

They all start with the first step: back to our essence.

We can give you an exercise to observe:

**Step One: Observing:**

*“Fish swim in the ocean. Fish are not the ocean.* 

*We swim in worry and suffering. We are not either the worry or the suffering.*

*Fish are not afraid of the ocean, able to enjoy swimming.*

*We don’t have to be afraid of worry and suffering, through the right way of observation we can create wisdom and a brave heart to enjoy life.”*

Guiding:

- A lot of the time when we worry and have suffering we take it as the way it is and believe that is how we are.
- Through this observation we can develop calmness separation power to develop wisdom and patience for more ability to enjoy the challenge of life.
- Once you understand this logic, do not be stuck in thinking anymore, please go to step two to develop calm and wise observing ability.

**Step Two: Baby Breathing**

Learning to baby breathe to soften your body to breathe relaxed and open inhale and exhale with joyful concentration. To bring your mood but back to the present without any connection to the external world / stress and internal worry.

**Step Three: Joyful and relaxed stage**

Remain in this breathing joyful and relaxed stage to observe what things bother you. 

Then you will be able to figure out different wisdom and angles to take care of your worries

We cannot use stress to get rid of stress, we can only use calm and peaceful, logical observation ability to get rid of stress to find a wise solution. To take things light and enjoy the challenges of life.

### 8 Levels of Meditation

#### Introduction: The Eight Levels of Meditation

Buddhism meditation has many different kinds, each one has an amazing function.

One of the most well-known Buddhist standards of meditation is called “Eight Levels of Meditation.”

This meditation existed before Buddha. When Prince Siddartha escaped the palace, trying to discover enlightenment, the first thing he was learning was from two masters. These masters taught him this “Eight Levels of Meditation.”

The first 4 levels help to purify our blind desire. The consciousness stays in the body.

#### The 8 Levels of Meditation

Level One Meditation: Away from Blind Desire

Observe our blind desire can cause suffering until we are able to be free from all the negative intention. For that, wisdom joy and pureness will appear.

Activity: Observing blind desire

How to practice this observing:

Desire can cause suffering in many different ways, see if you can observe if you are trapped in one or more of them.

Practice observing in which category you are in relationship with blind desire. So you can avoid or release the suffering which are caused by those desires. 

1. Desire to search can be suffering, insecure or unsure if we can get it. Or anxious to get it;
2. When you almost get what you have desired, you will have even stronger fear, you might not be able to make it happen;
3. When you get it, you are afraid it is not as good as you expected;
4. When you get it, it is as good as you want, then you are afraid you might lose it and try hard to hold onto it;
5. Even if you are temporarily happy with what you desire for, contentment will disappear soon. And new desires will appear. Then you continue like a slave to work hard for the new goal;
6. Eventually you will get bored of what you got, and sometimes you can’t even get away from it;
7. Sometimes we put too much value in a blind way towards our desire and imagine how good it will be, and eventually realise it was a lie from ourselves and others. Eventually a shocking pain.
8. Birth, aging, illness and death all come from the desire to survive and continue to survive.

Example Answer to Number 1 Above

“Desire to search can be suffering, insecure or unsure if we can get it. Or anxious to get it;”

*Create fun in the present, to entertain your attention with something you already know, or have while you search for something else. In that way you create, balance of joyful present and curiosity for the future.*

For example at a restaurant waiting for food, you can play scissors, paper, rock, to become a happy kid.

Level Two Meditation: Intuition into Joy

In this stage observing until you can stay in the present with intuition ability to discipline naturally away from blind desire. So self-confidence and joy will only go deeper.

Level Three Meditation: Into Inner Peace

Being wise and pure becomes more natural without any doubt.

Our blind desire is not affected by internal influences (ourselves) nor external influences (Other people or situations).

So a deep layer of peace and security combined with joy rises.

Level Four Meditation: Crystal Clear Awareness

In this stage of awareness, seeing through blind desire causing suffering becomes natural being.

Wisdom becomes sharp like a crystal clear light.

The joy of freedom shines so brightly.

Consciousness, through a free, new intuition ability is able to see the unlimited possibility in life.

Level Five Meditation: No Border Limitation

Levels 5 – 8 the consciousness can travel without a body, but still will have to come back to the body.

To explore outer space without borders, which includes being aware of other life forms, their cultures.

So time and space become a free-frequency. For the consciousness to be aware beyond human limitations.

In this stage our intuition ability appears as our new natural being, without any need to think. 

Our consciousness can travel without being stuck in a physical body and experience all different kinds of space without borders.

Level Six Meditation: Travel in Time

After consciousness is free from space, the next stage is free from time.

Pure consciousness at this stage can use different space to see cause effect of the different use of time.

For example: Our Earth could be a future for some other lower developing species from another planet. But for the more advanced species, they could be the future possibility for us. Consciousness is able to be aware of all of them at the same time.

Level Seven Meditation: No limitation in space and time

In this stage consciousness has magical high-speed to divide their consciousness into different space and time. So they can be aware different space and time, at the same time.

But still it will only happen when they are in a deep meditation. Once they come back to the body it will be all gone. And they remain as a normal human.

Some consciousnesses will be able to bring this ability back to the human body and create magical history. 

Level Eight Meditation: Strength of Pure Heart

In this stage of meditation, consciousness can not only divide to travel in different space and time, at the same time, they can also create a temporary appearing form to interact in those spaces and times.

But once they are out of concentration of such a deep meditation wisdom zone they will immediately back to the body.

There are many ancient Gods – Hindu, Greek, Roman, Nordic, etc… are all the consciousness that already have this ability. They can appear to the Earth through their meditation ability.

## Map of Buddhism: 

### Introduction: The 4 groups of Buddhism

Buddhism developed on the Earth from Siddartha Buddha about 2500 years ago. Until today we can divide it into different groups.

1. Philosophy Buddhism
2. Meditation Training Buddhism
3. Religion Buddhism
4. Scientific Buddhism

### Philosophy Buddhism

Philosophy Buddhism is more about textbooks which were recorded/written by students to describe Buddha’s and Bodhisattva’s teachings. These talk about; who is present at the time what type of philosophy they talk about, and ends with Buddha giving a name for that teaching.

In those philosophy books they try to teach people; what is our true heart, how we can be free from suffering and reincarnation and how we can reach Nirvana. Another way is to say out of blindness and suffering and to create wisdom and joy.

Also originally Buddha tried to observe life for the purpose to be free from 4 subjects: birth, aging, illness and death. And through that to understand spiritual reality.

*Recommended practice time: About 5 minutes*

### Meditation Training Buddhism

**Meditation is a result of concentration.**

Serotonin / endorphins – Our brain will create these two when we concentrate on things we love to do, or enjoy to do.

Normally have to be some kind of challenge in an exciting or creative way. 

Buddhism meditation is also for this purpose through concentration to observe our life to get rid of suffering and reach happiness, which they call enlightenment or Nirvana.

But to get rid of suffering and reach happiness has two types, short-term and long-term.

In fact, long term, mean you able to remain constantly in short-term happiness meditation.

Also Buddhism teaches, reincarnation. And teaches the essence of ourselves which is our true eternal spirits.

So we if can concentrate, not trapped in blind reincarnation, which means blind birth, blind aging, blind illness and blind death. And then again and again in this loop blindly.

So able to be free from this blind loop and find our discover true eternal spirits.

And that is the utmost joy which is the final goal of meditation.

Once we reach this stage we will no longer be trapped in the physical body to experience all types of suffering and instead be aware of all types of unlimited joy.

To reach such a high goal, we need to start with a concrete foundation.

These follow the same structure:

- Physical – Moving Meditation training
- Mental – out of worry meditation training
- Psychological – out of fear meditation training
- Spiritual – into wisdom and joy meditation training

<Make a video to explain the immediately awesome benefit of each meditation. Then show list.>

#### Physical – Moving Meditation Training

##### Introduction

The top secret of life is all built by this foundation, Moving Meditation.

Because life equals moving.

No moving, no life. No move, no existing.

Even inside a diamond, those atoms are still moving at incredible speed.

As a human, we move constantly.

The wrong types of moves will create stiffness and tension.

Finally we will end up blocking our blood circulation and create pressure to our nerve system which cause pain, illness, aging and death.

So this wise system of movement, moving meditation, will re-guide you to make each movement like art: in harmony with gravity, to develop great posture.

Through this concrete foundation of development, you are ready to begin.

Exercises – Physical

Exercises – Mental

Exercises – Psychological

Exercises – Spiritual

How to do it the right way, not about words or ceremony, about how to create right intention, right attitude, right type of motion (body language) to benefit our health and purify our heart through those ceremonies and activities to connect to spiritual being, to get their protection and guidance.

Or can through those activities to open up our wisdom potential ability to have open and wider view to understand the true system of life – Dharma.

Or this correct activity to be aware of our spiritual heart – our pure essence

Or to develop spiritual intention and character awareness – for example, pure kind, pure care, wisdom and freedom.

Introduction

There are many cases why we can’t rest well – but mainly two cases

After stressful day at work either:

1. We want to have fun, not rest and look for excitement
2. Have a stressful character, can’t switch it off, we are “ON” 24/7

Other information:

- Some people can’t sleep because when they are alone they create or multiply their own stress. They are “distracted” from this habit around others.
- Some people have too much time, or not enough challenge. For example, some people who do not need to work hard, find they cannot or find no need to sleep.
- Some are over-sensitive to movement or sound, so they cannot rest in the same bed as others.
- Also a biological-reason like too much of the wrong light – computer, phone, tablet
- Weather and temperature also effect our sleep – too hot, too cold, not enough air
- Physical reasons like stiffness pain and tension will effect our sleep
- Emotional drama will effect sleep – fighting with your partner, stress at work, worry and fear will give us problems the same way it creates nightmares for children.
- Don’t be stuck in anger before sleep either.

## **Map of Free Will: Do you have Free will or are you just a puppet?**

Create a valuable and productive life – Why we try so hard and still fail

2 cases to make things go good: 

1. You belong to one of these of these ones

  2. Lazy and careless no good – life not productive
2. Concentrate with joy – Relax with fresh mind and open heart

## **Map of The Present: So if you can change this moment, you change everything.**

**Our life is not about having a lifetime in fact it is a lifetime that is always in a moment.**

And it is not just any moment, or only different moments, it is different moments in always the same system, a constantly changing ungrabbable moment.

Out heart have to be flexible to match that power.

But the opposite, it is always against it

The system of life everything is constantly changing in the present

But our heart don’t want that!

Because we feel insecure, we are not able to be tolerant to match the facts.

Worst part is we don’t even know the truth!

We live our whole life with that truth but we don’t even know that!

So if you can change this moment, you change everything.

—

Attractive to people who want to create value in their life

Because life is actually just a constantly changing moment nothing else

It can make each changing moment correct, then your life is already perfect

But we are not free in each moment because each moment comes from a blind combination of many other blind influence moments from inside and outside

That’s why we are never completely free from existing changing moment.

It’s not like we have to deal with whole life or your past just this moment – make this one right then everything Right

But because it is as changing moment you have to constantly change it in the right way 

Many ppl stuck in the past complaining so cannot aware the present

## Map of Death: The mystery of death – differents ways to avoid death

### How other animals of earth avoid death

Lobster life

Mud fish

Jellyfish – really old can change cells to baby- everyone loves to eat one, forever young to be the food

### What is death?

Through science way to explain

Scientists way is if your heart stops beating, brain out of function, heart beat stops…check brain cells, nerves dont work anymore. 

Electron magnetic network (info on google) when that is shut down, you are dead – bnecaue they are so active – send electric in a magnetic way – 100 miollion everywhere – when that doesn’t react another way ot judge death

But many people – over history die from that judgement but come back!

So ovsicous through so thise ways to djuedg death is not precise

There is almost like there is some power that is out of the body that makes the brain not work and heart beating stop but when it comes backk the body can react again.

So there is a power that come back

That power is consciousness

https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/08/05/what-is-desire/

Lifestyles

1st chakra – levels of desire

Survival and continue surviving but finally will die

1. To survive.
2. To continue surviving.
3. To secure materials which support the first two desires.
4. To secure relationships which support the first three desires.  
This includes having people love and like you, and makes you seek out fame and popularity.
5. To control.  
This is a stronger force to secure the first two desires than can be gained through relationships. Fame can appear one day, then disappear the next, as it depends on other people’s feelings. Politicians manipulate others into giving support irrespective of what they are feeling.
6. To control using knowledge.  
Scientists are driven by the desire to use information and knowledge to control people. Science creates more security than politics because it controls people and their environment (e.g. whoever has the best technology has the best weapons and therefore the most power).
7. To control people by using religion to manipulate their fear of death.  
Religion exists because most people fear death and suffering. It is closely related to and allied with the fifth desire. To manipulate people’s deepest fears is a powerful force to secure material wealth for your own survival.
8. To directly control space to ensure survival.  
Becoming an energy god requires an intuitive ability to use and control energy. This goes beyond the first seven desires, which are limited to accumulating materials and controlling other people. This desire can go in one of two directions depending on the underlying intention: becoming an energy god or an energy devil.  
Energy gods desire to create a harmonious society from highly cultured sharing and organisation. Energy devils are only concerned with gaining power, without any care for the suffering of other life. This appears as a negative desire to take energy from others in order to become more powerful. Both systems create very strong security for a long period of time, but because all the space in the universe will eventually disappear, so will they.
9. To become empty.  
Once your ability is high enough to be directly aware that all the space will eventually disappear, you will no longer want to connect to anything. This is called the desire to be empty and free of attachment to materials. If you develop this desire, you will have no material form.  
Being without form, you are no longer limited by the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Eventually, however, you create the feeling of loneliness because you cannot develop or grow. So even though you follow your desire to not be controlled by the changing power of materials, you are still controlled by the power of changing, which is Ego.

All of these nine desires cause suffering because they come from blindness. Only when you are aware of your desire habit and able to see that it is blind will you be free from suffering.

# Awakening or termination of the human race.

## The Secret of life 

—

**We are talking about this subject: the secret of life**

Because we are human so the secret of life for us will start with the secret of humans.

Humans are now in the position of evolution involved into two possibilities: 

- One is into the stage of awakening high-level spiritual development towards unlimited kinds of joy.
- The other is into the potential to be lost in developing intelligence in the direction of greed and suffering.

**So the secret of humans is the clear system to help us avoid the negative direction and into the unbelievable high-spiritual potential.**

Those secrets come from a person with an interesting and unusual story. **Almost unbelievable.** 

Because he is not a social person, he has hidden himself from the public except for a select group of disciplined students. 

For many years those students, who have benefitted so much from his teaching, have encouraged him to share those secrets to the world.

Because he likes freedom more than to become famous, he struggled with this and refused.

But now, after getting older, he has decided it is time to create a concrete system for the public.

—-

**Story**

His true name in Chinese translated into English means Forever-Wisdom Forest. 

He grew up 7 years without speaking a word as Autistic. Because he was not able to speak, at school he was called Forever Stupid.

According to scientific research, if humans don’t learn a language before 5 years of age, not only will they never learn to speak well, they will have a hard time developing any intelligence at all. 

But after learning one word, “Mum”, his language ability awakened in 3 months and he was able to catch-up those 7 years of silent development. 

Later on, he would be able to actually teach Buddhism and Daoism philosophies with many other talents in multiple languages.

He has experienced many unusual situations through martial art meditation training including: 

- reconnecting to past lifetimes;
- being able to remember all the philosophies he has learned before;
- training and opening all 7 chakras;
- his consciousness travelling to different spaces; and
- seeing supernatural beings including UFOs and ghosts.

He is surprised he has not yet seen aliens unfortunately. Even though he knelt down asking them to take him away from the Earth, the UFO didn’t care. This made him upset and he threw rocks at the ship.

He was able to heal his own seriously broken legs by himself, even though doctors had given up on him. He has been able to perform a lifetime of healing that so many students have benefited from.

Forever-Wisdom Forest, he is the founder of **Moving Meditation,** who has been teaching over 30 years in more than 20 countries with over 5000 international students to date. 

  
He has helped many students into two directions: 

- correct life-long pain and suffering, help them to be free from worry and fear,
- and through the complete view of life to understand the art of movement to develop our body as a beautiful temple to flow and charge our positive energy for enjoying life. And to have a bright and meaningful view towards their own life goal.

There are many other interesting information and crazy stories we will talk about later.

**Now back to subject – secret of humans**

In human history, our wars are fought between countries – neither of whom have power to destroy the entire human race. 

We now have used intelligence ability to develop 3 possibilities – transportation, high-tech (AI, robotics, VR) and life-threatening weapon creation. 

**Humans have developed a possibility to make themselves extinct**

Now we face these potential threats:

- Hadron collider – creating a big bang on earth
- Bio-weapon or chemical weapons
- Nuclear power plant meltdown
- Global warming

**Because our human life now is totally dependent on technology, we have become very vulnerable if things go in the wrong direction with those high-tech.**

But if all this incredible high-technology could be used in the first direction it could give everybody a chance to be aware how to develop our life with a better direction to reach the best potential of human culture.

So if there is information that can make everybody understand this then the new human age will appear. We can use our intelligence to develop a joyful, wise, healthy lifestyle.

We will continue in Part 2 to talk about the three steps to understand the Secret of Humans.

# 3 Ways to reach Nirvana

Summary

**To understand a few secrets of human life in 3 steps.**

All human have chance to develop a culture that we can never dream of. No more suffering, able to independent and free to experience all kind of joy. To share great and good intention even more to understand eternity which is the essence of all life. 

These are not ideas theory or promise. These 3 steps have a precise training system. Anyone who understands a clear practical logic. Anyone who is willing to support to join the strength together. To develop this new system. Then we will be able to avoid high intelligence but in a blind way of termination to our human culture and transfer high tech knowledge into awakening of spiritual human new age culture. 

First step: 

Understand all the mistakes and history of what human being have done and how to avoid. This is also where all the human suffering came from. If we understand it precisely we can be free form it .

Second step:

Utilize high tech to help us develop high intelligence consciousness ability. So in one Side we are aware of high tech like a slave. Instead we are the free consciousness, with free will in a wide de way to use high tech. To support our consciousness to become more wise and agh the same time to develop healthier lifestyle and stronger physical nature.

With art of movement.l and joy of control of our body language.

3rd Step:

To develop hidden ability. To awaken and understand our deepest potential. The ability to aware the essence of life. 

All the appearance in universe is constantly changing.

Because it is constantly changing there is no eternity. 

The only thing to control the changing into a perfect way. 

Underneath all The changing there must be a essence which is eternally supporting all

This changing. Aware their source which is the essence of life. Which is our deepest layer of life strength. We will reach the final stage of life. Complete awaken. Back to eternal essence, out of blind birth and death. Live in the eternal force and free to choose to enjoy the game of life. To enjoy the game of unlimited birth and death. 

These 3 step now going to shine and be free for every life to observe and understand. So we can together avoid all the mistake and suffering from the human history. And build up a spiritual age of modern day and new human culture. Which will guide us to understand the final meaning life, the true freedom of being awakened.

Some of the subjects he teaches:

- Yoga, Qigong, Yi Jing Jin, Xi Shui Jin, Qian Kun;
- Tai Chi and Martial Art Self-Defence;
- Self-Healing Wisdom (Acupuncture, Tui’na, Shiatsu healing massage)
- All types of Meditation skill
- Daoism and Buddhism Philosophy

Through a lifetime of research, training and teaching he has organised those developments into a simplified training system for global needs.

This system contains 4 main theories:

- Theory of consciousness;
- Theory of energy;
- Theory of the human body;
- Theory of eternal lifeforce

**Those theories are combined with a step-by-step course for anyone to train and develop.** 

They are not just theory as information-only. They are a concrete way to reduce our physical pain, mantal worry and psychological stress for ourselves and others. It is clear wisdom to bring us good intentions towards every life. And the most incredible, to understand and be able to be aware of the true eternal force inside of us.

Another angle

**Awakening is never in the future, awakening is in every present moment.**

Awakening into Nirvana

Awakening is never in the future, awakening is in every present moment.

**Bodhisattva level awakening**

Bodhisattva don’t have a special Sunday philosophy class to become awakened – every second, internal/external, everything in life you connect to is all for this purpose.

If you understand that awakened means that you don’t want to be blind anymore.

At human-level we are used to being blind – born blind, connect to blind people/society, then blindly accept blindness.

So don’t allow yourself to trick yourself.

Actually a Bodhisattva will practice “Observing Self-Being” *(From Heart Sutra, first line, first words)* which means they will correct themselves first.

Life is a perfect system. If you are aware of it it is perfect. If you are not aware of it, it’s still perfect.

**Awakening vs Intelligence**

Intelligence is sometimes not wise:

- Steve Jobs – incredibly gifted genius, dies from cancer / stress
- Stephen Hawkins – incredibly gifted genius, body broken – no one want t a body like that
- Einstein – incredibly gifted genius – but think of karma, he wanted to created weapon, invented technology to create nuclear bomb – that means all of that coming back to him.

Intelligence if it goes into wrong direction will bring wrong karma into your life.

Not saying intelligence is wrong, saying wisdom is important to guide / lead intelligence into the right direction.

Another way to say it, wisdom is about direction. 

Away from suffering? Wisdom. 

Towards potential to create unlimited joy for yourself and others? Wisdom.

Now and in future? Wisdom.

Six Bodhisattva characters last one is wisdom – count as most important because it guides the first 5\. It is first and last. That is why the philosophy sometimes explains wisdom as the first 5 Bodhisattva Characters joined together (Generosity, discipline, patience, concentration and meditation.)

Once you have a clear direction, a clear goal, you can work towards it. If you are off course towards it, you can correct and bring yourself back on course.

## 3 Steps to Nirvana – Human Level 1

In life the real reason we cannot understand what is happening is because we don’t have a map.

### First Level Nirvana : Physical

Physically we have a lot of tension. It comes from many causes, bad posture, unhealthy diet, poor sleep, smoking/drinking too much. Incorrect style of or no training, blocked energy. Our bodies break down. Pollution.

So first level Nirvana – physical is to actually purify all the pollution not just sometimes but it works better if you do it all the time.

Then as a basic level to learn to enjoy to do it.

And finally you look forward to it as your natural being so it becomes really enjoyable and then it gives your life more force. which is what we all know – not to have tension.

Like for example to practice stretching / yoga – instead of feeling like you have to rush and finish it, instead make it enjoyable put on some music make yourself some tea give yourself time to enjoy it and then you will enjoy stretching more and more. 

We are a slave of our own bodies and we don’t have the appreciation and care towards them. So we should not expect a slave to magically be so joyful the moment we want it to! So before you reach this stage of enjoyment of Nirvana you have to clean out all this physical pollution make your body strong, flexible, relaxed enjoying to train it

Until you get to the point away from have to do it but actually the stage where you really enjoy to do it that’s the first stage

### First level of Nirvana – Psychological

The second pollution you have to climb out of is out psychology.

We are used to many different “I feelings”. Most of those “I feelings” are in a non-spiritual zone.

And we bounce around – moody, stressed, lazy, over-careful, careless, kind, greedy, concentrated, can’t concentrate. This stage of bouncing around come from internal and external. 

This is why we will stay in reincarnation.

But we have the power to choose to create something else.

**But we do not practice this ability – to choose before we act.**

If the way you concentrate is an intensive, try hard, calculation, very important psychology – choose something else. 

*But what else?*

See it as not quite perfect yet. Redesign your “I feeling” to make life more harmonious.

To change this add kindness and care to yourself, practice lightness, patience to purify yourself so your direction is towards more perfect. 

This creates a spiritual joy so you’re not stuck in this I or that I – each new I you can create gives you more freedom in future situations – as long as they are in a spiritual zone.

So we normally don’t choose our I, we just go with what we are used to. 

Choice will create a calmness and kindness. The joy from inner peace and wisdom will shine with no strong-ego-issue involved in it

### First level of Nirvana – Mental

To support the free choice psychology I, to make it successful you need the 3rd wisdom which is from mental.

Mental, out thinking habit, is usually busy for I and mine.

So to reach the first level of nirvana we change this into wisdom zone.

If you do not know much eternal wise and kind philosophy then this is a great time to learn it. 

If you do know eternal wise and kind philosophy then this is the time to remember it.

If you can remember eternal wise and kind philosophy then it is time to practice it!

This is the procedure to clean out this nonsense thinking which itself is a blind habit that does not help us.

### Summary

Physically – free from tension and enjoying to train ourselves.

Mental – Remember the wisdom and practice not following usual ways of thinking

Psychologically – Clean out our usual (non-useful) characters and habits that we blindly follow and we have more choice in every situation.

**In this zone physically mentally and psychologically we can reach human level Nirvana.**

## 3 Steps to Nirvana – Human Level 2

### Summary

Our feeling of ourselves, our own life and our own problems seems so big.

But compared to the size of the universe it is like a tiny bit of dust.

Even our earth feels huge but it’s just a dot in our solar system. 

And our solar system is just a dot in the Milky Way Galaxy. 

And our galaxy is a very small dot in this universe.

Once again our problems compared to the entire universe are nothing.

The Second human level of Nirvana is to realise that our feeling of I, our illusion I, our feeling of self, is really just a bubble – so short, so small. 

It’s not even really our true self. It just comes from a connection to everything else. Male/female, nationality, race, age, study-level, job, views, body-shape – whatever.

We are polluted by this and we are a slave of this illusion I. 

But our true self it does not have to be limited by this zone.

When we do not take our illusion temporary I so seriously then True I can appear. 

Right away feel free. 

Right away you can look at everything almost like a theatre, or a movie.

When you watch a movie you don’t get stressed if there are people shooting each other you know you’re not going to get shot at because you’re watching a movie. You are safe to enjoy it and you will not get stressed. Or you know the stress it’s just from enjoyment of the drama and excitement of the movie.

So it doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter, you create space to enjoy it and change it.

If you look at your past life, this is just like a movie as well. A problem that was so big for you at three years old you can’t even remember it any more! Or five years old or 15 or 20 years old. 

Whenever we remember our past and what used to be so important it’s now gone and instead we create a new important to worry about and stress about.

So through this kind of observing, the second level of Nirvana is to realise we have a habit to make everything so important.

**But in fact if everything is important, then nothing is important. From this zone we can find inner peace.**

Your true essence is not the illusion I. 

When you can see through that illusion and that is what takes you back to the essence.

You will actually have a free heart because you will always feel freedom when you watch a movie if you really know it’s a movie. 

And to understand this wisdom is not to run away from the movie or want to the turn the movie off.

It is to create a beautiful perfect movie that we enjoy and that we can share with others. A movie others enjoy watching as well. 

If you played a movie which scares everybody so they run away then you know that is not the right movie for your life. If you play a movie which everyone else likes but you do not, well that can’t work either.

If you really feel your life is a movie you would enjoy to get scared, enjoy the excitement and the drama, the struggle, that contentment, and the journey. No longer waiting for the movie to end, you are totally into the joy of it. Learning to enjoy all the parts of this movie. Learning to be actor, director and audience. 

**Free to create a new movie.**

And there are no life forms in any space and any time that are different from this as they all create their own life movie. Then get lost into it, forget it’s a movie then one day realise life is like this and awaken. Then to help others realise this and awaken as well. And this is closer to the truth of life.

And your true self is this observer.

So observing self being is our true self and that is why are we observing our own theatre and everyone else’s. 

Not to judge the issues and blindness. But to learn from them. Because wisdom comes from when we see through blindness. So we cannot get wisdom, wisdom can only appear when we are being the wisdom and have seen through our blindness.

**So the second Nirvana is true wisdom self being.**   
  
Being that means you see through all the illusion that means your heart is always free and self-confident and have joy.

Light comes on, darkness disappears. So the second Nirvana is to concentrate and value the wisdom then you’ll become absorbed to become your true self force then true self being appear

You will then live in a force that is eternal power is very high-level but it is also in us to awaken.

QUESTION:

Practical for one and two – Observing Self-Being – goto nature, Qigong, meditation, back to essence ability appears, life awareness is bright and joyful – it is amazing.

How do we remain in this zone?

ANSWER from Sifu:

You cannot. Not with your regular I.

Work on computer – mix joy, stretching, smiling, music, tea – mix tension and relax. Not too much ambitious ego behind.

For me (Sifu) I know this wisdom but I still have a hard time to do it!

Because my old self is so strong.

But if you follow old self it will make it worse

Your old self is the grumpy self, the moody self the self that doesn’t want to do it so no chance from there to make it perfect. Instead have to directly change to a new self. From there make perfect.

We call this back to essence back to a pure stage when you’re free again to choose every moment in life and because this essence doesn’t have any moody or grumpy or tense or trapped ambitious this is the correct zone to create from.

So when you can go back to essence from there you can recreate but it is still not going to be easy it is still an ability we must learn to develop a practice. 

But it is possible for you.

Ask yourself – So now how am I going to create a new I that is light and joyful and free?

My own secret technique I learn from Tai Chiis to add in more detail. 

When I train Tai Chi I am constantly looking for ways to improve myself – less tense, more extreme to enjoy it , more beautiful, more joyful, more light. And because my heart is in the zone of adding in more and more details to make perfect I have less attention left to follow moody blind feelings.

# Chapter Two Life Story of Forest Forever Wisdom 

We are all into a life river journey. Waterfall is our past life. Ocean is our future life. And we are in this unknown and keep going forward, exciting, searching and discovering awaken journey.

And some water maybe in the journey will be stuck somewhere for a while. Some will keep going.

Some even actually become the steam through the heat and rising up to the free sky.

Here are my many different levels of awaken journey story. And it has helped me in two directions.

One is released many different types of suffering. Physical suffering, I have broken my both legs in a motorcycle accident and the wisdom I have learned has created a miracle. Not only that, later on I use it to help thousands of people benefit from this knowledge – Healing Nature Wisdom.

As well, the other side is the awaken journey helped me to discover extremely exciting, go beyond my ever can imagine perfect in unlimited level of that kind of joyful.

Those joyful have many different layers.

Contentment of desire, like your heart is more satisfied than you can ever imagine.

Contentment of passion, your heart feels full charge with all the hope and feels free to explore and to know much further without any limitation of life.

And activity, you can aware much more action through the unknown force of your third eyes to see unlimited space.

And emotion, your heart can totally free and pure in kindness and loving heart towards every life, and that joy goes beyond any desire in personal way you have been looking for.

And then all these energies can still rise into a very incredible level. You suddenly able to understand everything appear in front of you, what is the meaning behind. Your thinking ability see through every sign, every existence and immediately understand the meaning behind and discover further the wisdom of the essence, function and goal of all the appearances. And self-confidence bring you into incredible calm peace and self-sure.

There is also rising even higher level of intuition. Once you discover your consciousness awakening to intuition, you don’t even have to think. You directly aware the past, present and future, the causation – what cause create what kind of effect and all kind of relationship between all these causations. Your wisdom level becomes even deeper, directly from heart and you start living with that intuition by heart. And your full potential life from here starts opening.

After that you will start experiencing awakening consciousness. Consciousness has many powers. All before are all part of the power, but when they are step by step all open and joined together, your complete true self, you hidden consciousness starts awakening. It is a force inside of all of us that has a potential to be complete free in many different areas, to explore all the existing space and time. You will no longer be limited by your physical body in this lifetime. Our consciousness, in fact once it grows, it is like a caterpillar become cocoon, finally out of cocoon become butterfly, will not be limited to a tree, be able to fly to all the amazing beautiful garden. When our consciousness is fully awakened, it doesn’t need limited in the physical body or any space. It starts to explore, to see, to hear, to feel all these unlimited perfect spaces already built in this unknown perfect universe.

And all these journeys of awakening, I experienced both – release suffering, help myself and help others, as well discovered all these incredible excitements and realised those powers are all existing in every life.

Many of the students through learning with me, they also discover this force. Those forces are unbelievable, but are truthful. With precise step by step logic how to understand our body, to understand our mind how does it work, to understand our phycology. Finally, we will able to open a gate of spirits to understand beyond these temporary everything changing – the changing space, changing physical I. Beyond all of this, there is an eternal truthful, our essence, our true heart, our true self. There we will all find incredible unlimited joy with eternal inner peace, full of unlimited wisdom and kindness heart to share with every life.

Welcome to join this amazing trip awakening eternity.

**Chapter One Life Story of Forest Forever Wisdom begins.**

The world is going to awaken with true I

All human will be able to understand eternity

Equal heart

Every human all have right to understand the complete truth of life and awaken towards the true freedom of the eternity essence of our true self

In there to experience unlimited wisdom joy

Doesn’t matter any type of religion / on-religion, colour of skin, nationality, different age, male/female, rich/poor, sexual preference or no preference, all willing to live in different kind of choice zone. It’s not about article of ideas, not about religious philosophies or imagination or some kind of creation of abstract smart ideas. 

It includes scientists but goes beyond scientists.

The truth of life is just simply to understand one thing.

True Self.

If we understand our true self we will be able to understand everything.

  
The journey of my life is to learn to awaken to understand the simple questions everyone has probably asked but no one able to get the answer.

Who am I?

What am I?

Basically it is to understand our existence, our meaning or existence and able to find the answer for our deep needs.

What are our deep needs?

We are looking for happiness.

We are trying to avoid suffering.

And that is the same, equal condition in every life.

Not only in human, but include animals and insects.

And all of this eventually become not important those questions we are trapped into a busy and fast information lifestyle of high-tech now, we don’t have time and we don’t have true answer we can find. As we normally believe in normal life, except busy to survive and fit in with society.

In my story, one side I am doing that as everyone passes through all kinds of stress and suffering. And to survive in society. 

But in the other side of my life story there is a dramatical, non-mental choice it happen with a mysterious will and drive me to experience and to find all the answers of life and self andevery life.

In this journey of understanding life and myself I developed an understanding of three subjects.

Mental, physical, spiritual reality.

Each one I have been involved and developed and teached many other students as they enjoy to learn and I enjoy to share.

Physically 

Have developed a huge list.

- Posture Development

- Yoga – Yi Jin Jing
- Natural Healing
- Acupuncture and healing massage
- Functional Muscle Development
- Bone structure (Duan Gu Jing)

- Energy Development

- The 7 types of energy in humans
- Procedure development
- Create laser line
- Flow the energy
- Art of energy movement
- Timeless motion
- Amazing explosion
- Extreme energy control in opposite ways
- Guide the energy into meditation
- Open wisdom third eyes

- Spiritual Development

- The Map of Illusion I
- The Map of True I
- The Map of Causation
- The Map of How to get rid of suffering
- The Map of Developing Unlimited Wisdom Joy
- The Meditation ability of Aware Eternity
- The Observing ability to create a joyful-heart world together
- Into a new age of perfect life

—

 from yoga, Yi jin Jing, make our muscles and ligaments become flexible

Functional muscle development – training with bodyweight or some tools in a gym, build muscle work together not just look big but move agile and light, lively and fast, coordinated perfectly together

All together with bone structure how to make bones also in correct opposition not create blockage as one idea posture development

Plus to further have to understand energy control. The 7 types of energy in humans.

Which is our desire, what we are looking for, passion, physical action, emotion, thinking, intuition and our last deepest energy our hidden consciousness.

They all have different types of energy and function.

And humans have developed much higher energy all the way to thinking – number 5, some of them, able to understand intuition, some somewhere awaken hidden consciousness energy.

Energy not only just human, but when it is opened through certain systems you can connect to surroundings, natural energy and then connect to unlimited universe energy.

And when all of this happened and learned you will also need a correct map to guide you.

And that is the Map of Truth of the Complete View of Life.

Because you could get lost – you have a strong body, open a lot of energy, use it in the wrong direction, the wrong intention, eventually the trick of life still controls everybody.

**What is the trick of life?**

We will experience birth, aging, illness and death. 

Doesn’t matter how healthy your body is, how strong your energy is, eventually when death appears you lose it all. 

So to understand our spiritual reality is the final guiding.

So that map is the most important map.

It is our goal

It is our function. 

It is our essence as well.

If everything is all just temporary then it doesn’t matter how much we try to be healthy, strong, even wealthy lifestyle we eventually we are as poor as the street beggar, we have to lose everything. The wise consciousness understand that the true value the true treasure is to understand the reality of our spiritual ability.

Our spiritual ability is the main subject I teach in these many years.

And there I am not just teaching ideas.

I teach really practical function to help people understand how to experience our spiritual reality. 

**What is our spiritual reality?**

As our physical reality we have a temporary life we are surely ending with death

But as our essence there is another reality, we in fact already have eternity power but we just can’t recognise it

So I teach meditation, teach how to control our intention, how to control our energy and physical ending to the same direction, to awaken our true I, our true essence, or another name, our true awakened consciousness.

And after so many years I am aware and teach this subject from so many angles but I didn’t want to teach to the world, to many people.

Because I’m still in the stage of finding teachers.

I would like to share this strength and help many people develop as a teacher through them to help more people. And recently one day I was in meditation. I suddenly heard only two sounds.

**“Awaken, awaken”**

Then my spiritual force suddenly bring my consciousness out of the body out of this universe into an eternity of beautiful, amazing indescribable, light space without border.

When I come back to the body, I wonder if one day I just left, all this I have learned this lifetime plus last lifetime…. In my meditation I also teach people how to open their spiritual abilities – spiritual eyes (material eyes, energy eyes, use that to find information about life..) so I start to read karma of my past lives. But I stop doing that, because it was too much information to handle. What someone experiences in one lifetime can already send someone insane, to add on past lives information is not easy to handle.

But through those experiences I see life in a much broader unlimited view. And then I wonder all these incredible experiences bring me unlimited wisdom joy and freedom to experience, go beyond physical body, energy body and spiritual heart body without any border limited in time and space experience eternity, those forces if I meditation out of this body will be just gone, so now I decide through my story and tell you all the reality, through eadh wisdom how does it work, how did I discover it share this journey with you and then you observe them for your own and as I say in the beginning, equal heart, everybody is welcome to understand it.

And through that awaken beyond your normal potential, into your unlimited potential into your true awakened self. 

Blindness is the opposite of awakened. Put someone blind in the middle of a busy street, nothing good there. But we are actually blind to who am I, what am I and what is our essence/where do we come from, what is our function/purpose and what is our goal/ what is the meaning of life?

We are blind to our existence and we are like that blind man in the busy traffic of life so we are in danger with a lot of unlimited suffering we don’t expect. And those sufferings is the reason why I want to teach and express this story and explain all these discoveries through my story of true wisdom with pure logic

**Introduction to Buddhism class: What is Buddhism and why do we learn it?**

Simply only 2 reasons

**One is to get rid of pain and suffering in our life**

**The other one is to find the potential for unlimited joy in our life.**

Without these 2 reasons in fact there is no motivation in life.

We are not one or the other, but through Buddhism we are **trying to develop both.**

**And our group here, in understanding those two subjects,** we learn many other subjects:

- Qi Gong, Taiji
- Massage
- Stretching
- Functional muscle development
- Yoga
- Acupuncture
- Healing massage
- Posture development – include ligaments, tendons muscles, bone structure
- Yi Jing jin (if you keep your ligaments and tendons remaining free and open your energy will run really well, remain very lively and healthy
- We learn bone marrow development which is through a movement, and breathing in a meditation way to stimulate your blood circulation and nerve system to make your hormones change to develop more bone marrow and then your bones will become stronger and then your life force will become stronger
- Also we develop Qian Kun which is different from Taiji
- Tai Chi develop Yin and Yang energy – there are many kinds but you can divide into opposite directions, still one energy but when there are opposite direction it become two.
- Example – you use water to make steam steam is hot and soft and fast, abstract, but then can make it cold, then become ice, not moving in fact the atoms are still moving but human eyes can’t see
- So opposite energies are still one – energy – so Yin and Yang are one.
- And this energy in human style training is called Tai Chi
- But when this energy system is learning how to connect to the whole universe it is called Qian Kun

**Fu Shi (** **伏羲) The first Emperor of China**

- **Legend has it he was half-man, half-dragon**
- Creates I-Ching (Book of changing)
- Creates the bagua –
- Creates Qian Kun
- Creates Chinese written language
- Creates Meridian lines and acupuncture points
- Creates Yin Yang

Beginner foundation of creating Qian Kun is first creator of Chinese culture, Chinese people call him first emperor Fu Shi, he is a legend emperor, not like a normal human emperor, he is kind of like, half energy god, half human, in fact his parents are both earth goddess and father is dragon, turn into a human, so dragon-human.

Fu Shi in a chinese legend where is is top half human and bottom half like snake dragon look

Then he create I Ching – book of changes – power of changing – I Ching is to use that to calculate how the change works

And I’m not so strong / involved with that – so not in our course / category – some of the philosophy is really cool so I put it in as well.

**Energy Control systems – Qi Gong, Qian Kun, Tai Chi and Wuji**

Tai Chi and Qian Kun talk about how to develop your energy in harmony but in an extreme direction – fast/slow, powerful/light/easy – and Chi Gong is a foundation to build that so we learn all of this energy control as well.

Tai Chi is more suitable for humans because it is all about how to control your energy but if you understand Qian Kun (3 levels) and train well you can connect to the universe energy. 

Plus we learn breathing technique (baby breathe, dragon breathe, many kinds of breathing meditation) 

We also learn how to connect to the philosophy of Daoism, through this we learn what does it mean being harmony and inner peace with ourselves and share that with others and that actually are all linked together to help us build the foundation to learn Buddhism.

Wuji is the final result of Tai Chi – Wuji have two types. As a human that means you can move your energy the lightest way and explode to everywhere (Sifu has reached this.) Sifu is Wuji Master. Use every angle in, back, add speed charge more energy and reduce tense and whole body work with it, more like human style. Control abstract energy, where your release tension faster than your charge power into every direction, waterman and airman, aware their power and then into meditation No-I so strongly so you can finish them before they dare move. Empty their move before they move. Your move have no limitation with energy style explosion to every angle. Earth style Wuji is the final result of Taiji.

Qian Kun style of Wuji means finally to become empty god. Empty is a feeling over eternity.

Over eternity because empty don’t have a feeling of time so you dont have feeling limited by time, how long is something. In meditation I experienced a Big Bang,m the birth of a universe, my body became the space and the matter in that big bang, shooting out into space in all directions, and because it keeps going and going, no border, my body feel it has no border, and that is a feeling of eternity.

So eternity to humans is just a word. Or perhaps you go into nature and feel, ah, nature seems ot have this power of eternity, eternity nature. So when you are in nature you connect to that natural power of eternity. And when it is empty space, there is no beginning, there is no end, but something that exist as a form, at the beginning – the explosion, once that happens then you can start to count how long. But something not have a beginning form so won’t change into another form, there is no process, so time, totally not exist. 

Wuji is a pure consciousness stage. So the consciousness not limited by physical materials anymore, not even energy anymore, beyond every energy. Your consciousness is free to feel any space you want.

And of course if you do not have a body anymore you don’t need smell, eating/taste, no need to breathe, no need to touch, but you can see and hear. In that zone my intention is so free if I want to feel any space. If I want to see a space I will appear in that space. If I no longer want to see that space, boom, I’m out of that space. Universe becomes a blinking tiny light. Then you feel bigger than the universe. It’s an incredible free feeling, almost indescribable experience.

At that time, when I was connected to empty space, that kind of Wuji level, I dont remember Earth, its not important then, universe was small, totally forgot Earth! Humans not even exist for me anymore.

But every consciousness have this power. Whatever you connect to, you will use that connection to receive information and you are limited in that information. But if you connect to a power that is unlimited then right away you are unlimited.

That is why BUddhism teach us our lives are temporary and that is why it is illusion because that is not the true power our limitation, in fact our true power our consciousness has no limitation. Limitation means we are connected to this body as a human, then we seems to have limitation. 

One side they teach this lifetime is temporary as illusion, one side talk about there is an essence that is unlimited its always eternal no beginning no end.

**Buddha was a martial artist**

A long time ago when Buddha was a Prince he was number one in Martial Arts. In order to get married he had to win number one in the competition. So that prove already he is the highest level of martial arts.

He also went to learn meditation and those meditation training is from yoga systems of development – so breathing, yoga, stretching and posture control all together. 

I’m not sure why slowly over time nowadays Buddhism is more a religion direction which is still good for the society because it brings beautiful ideas of equal heart, care for every life, being generous and kind and care towards every other life. So still good for bringing harmony and peace in a kindness way and direction towards society.

**Buddha’s student: Bodhidharma**

But the self-training part became lost and those training parts in history a monk called Bodhidharma bring to Shaolin from India. He was the 14th\* generation of Zen Master from India. Each generation of students starting from Buddhas direct students select the best student to pass all of their knowledge onto, and so.

**Bodhidharma comes to China**

When he came to Shaolin Temple in China he created a new style of Zen Buddhism. 

**Bodhidharma meets the emperor**

When Bodhidharma came to China, the Emperor of China at that time was a Buddhist and asked him – “What do you think about all the Buddhist temples I have built, how much spiritual karma have I developed?” Bodhidharma replied, you have none. The Emperor is upset but already learning Buddhism so doesn’t want to show anger, just tells him to go away. So Bodhidharma left, he didn’t care, he didn’t want money, famous. He went to Shaolin to teach all of this.

The Prime Minister comes back to the city and meets with the Emperor and asks him how was his meeting with Bodhidharma.

“Oh you met him, the highest Buddhism Zen master, what did you learn from him?”

The emperor replied: “I learned nothing, he knows nothing, he said even though I have built all of these temples I have developed no spiritual karma.”

The Prime Minister replied: “No he is the one who knows everything about Buddhism. You see everyone knows you’re the emperor and wants to say nice things to you, but he does not care about that at all. He told you you the truth. Because building all of the temples is called good karma, but not spiritual karma. Spiritual karma is to develop your own spirits. And he surely know how to develop spiritual karma and he sees you haven’t developed it. And now you have a chance to learn from him but you order him away?”

So the Emperor orders the Prime Minister to go and fetch Bodhidharma to bring him back. But Bodhidharma refuses to move, instead he is in meditation in a cave for 9 years. Eventually the Emperor himself goes to see Bodhidharma but Bodhidharma will not speak with him. The emperor instead puts part of his army to defend Shaolin and supports the finances of Shaolin temple. That is why Shaolin later becomes the leader of martial art development, Qigong development and buddhism religion united together because of Bodhidharma.

So Bodhidharma we know those training are important. 

**True Spiritual Development**

The true spiritual development is actually to train yourself. And you want to have lucky karma then it is to be generous towards helping others. And together is Buddhism. You can’t miss either one. Miss one and you are out of it. 

Train yourself and be generous to others.

Good karma and spiritual development together to create spiritual karma.

And good karma together with spiritual karma becomes Buddhism karma.

And our group together for years have been developing all of this, sharing in a very joyful and friendly loving way to help each other. Everybody has had a massive change and progress since I first met them.

Training karma can go in many directions – Daoism style karma they train a lot. But they didn’t have Buddhism open heart, don’t have ego anymore to help every life. 

That kind of no I which means no ego-I and then develop spiritual-I with spiritual ability and share and help everybody and that is Buddhism.

So how can we do that? How can we get out of suffering and into development of unlimited joy.

**What kinds of suffering do we need to clean out?**

From **INTENTION** view to judge 

4 Devils 

(3 Poison consciousness (greed, hate, stupidity), worry, fear and all of these from others.)

- **Why is greed suffering?**

- - - Greed = You never have enough! So you will be a slave try hard to get something and never feel content

- **Why is hate suffering?**

- - - You create hate, you feel hate, you become hate then you receive back hate. So hate you are stuck in your own creation.

- **Why is stupidity suffering?**

- - - Stupidity make you create the first two and keep creating greed and hate!

- **Why is worry suffering?**

- - - You can always get more worried! Worry is a useless habit, worry never gets a result, actually calm, care, in a wise way how to take care of something creates a solution, answer, good result.

- **Why is fear suffering?**

- - Fear means fear of death. And death will surely happen. So fear about something surely going to happen is a waste of power, useless. In fact, if you understand your true self there is no death. And that is why we are learning – to understand our true eternal-self.
  - And if you have eternal self why are you afraid of death? So you waste power, instead use that power to find eternal self.

No matter how blind we are our spirits never die, we just don’t learn how to discover it. And if you can understand meditation and discover your eternal spirits then all these sufferings will be gone.

—

Another way is to talk about the cycle of life: birth, aging, illness, death

Another way to talk about suffering is from this is the more modern view: Physical, mental, psychological

Physical pain – so easy to create suffering. You don’t train? Get weaker and sick. Suffering. You train too much? Damage it, not carefully, over use power, imbalance training?Suffering.

Only when you train in a wise wisdom, system then you are out of suffering.

Mental worry – send yourself crazy

Psychological fear – stressed out

And that is why we learn so many systems out of suffering.

**And how do we discover unlimited joy and happiness?** 

Few categories

First stage of unlimited joy – don’t let ego control you – keep your heart out of ego, because ego is suffering. And when you are out of suffering then joy already there. And if you stay pure heart, pure essence, pure intention then you will stay in a pure joy zone.

When we are out of ego zone, we can use the calm awareness to reorganise our lives according to where the true value is. And many training systems to do this, and in each training system brings a different joy.

For example: 

- Through Yoga and stretching experience kindness to yourself and take time to relearn our own bodies – how to strengthen and stay flexible and how we create tension.
- Through Tai Chi experience harmony and flow and different extremes, Yin and Yang.
- Through reading / listening to philosophy the moment you really forget about yourself, your own problems, hear how all the logic connects together, you can understand life much more deeply.
- Into meditation and Amitabha Buddha System

Enjoying to live in these disciplines can help us to fill our hearts with joy of development.

**So is a wise way to develop body, mind and spirit.**

Through that you will discover your spiritual essence, your True I, your True Heart, your eternal force. Which is like a seed ready to grow. And can grow so beautiful and pure like a lotus. And even has lights shooting become unlimited brightness. And each brightness have a clear view of beautiful art and wisdom to bring the joy to share with every life.

And this lifetime I have been teaching over 5000 students over 26 countries.

Searching will not make us find true contentment.  
In fact it’s free from that searching and contentment appear.

| Introduction Causation Language supports intelligence Wisdom come from past causes Right now you might be listening and that is your listening ability. When we think of this word we use one type of ability – thinking ability. Thinking ability needs another ability, language ability. Language ability only appears through creation language ability. And that is important because on this planet only humans have this ability. Unless there are some hidden aliens….? Without language we can’t develop learning language ability. So this is a special creation ability which helps intelligence to appear. Intelligence is another type of ability which combines creation language ability and learning language ability. This allows the next generation to receive and develop all types of ancient intelligence wisdom or knowledge. Eventually all the intelligence ability will form the highest level called wisdom ability. So wisdom ability comes from joining all the past history information together.

| 1st Chakra – Desire 4th level of desire (relationships)  Over time the babies develop relationship ability – family, school, friends, work, society – create very complicated relationships.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    | **First 5 Chakras**       | These relationships appear in many ways – sexual desire, passion for something as a habit, physical expression activity, emotional connection, mental ideas sharing Each of those is an ability. 6 Chakra – Intuition (natural instinct / thinking without needing to think,) Abilities join together to create intuition. All of these join together over time and form our deepest layer of what we believe, the idea of how life should be, that kind of ability. For example: if all of your abilities join together, including how you see life should be is to follow a god, then perhaps you will become a Christian, Jewish, Muslin, or another moral religious person. You will create a direction to follow after death, a way to follow those morals. Those people have a lifestyle they already choose. Abilities – inside and outside Abilities join together on inside Abilities evolve with society values outside. Blind society influence us to create blind nature – blind intuition. So whatever we take as normal, is actually connected to many different kinds of complicated abilities. And those come from all the evolution throughout human history and all the changes in values. Like a long time ago if a girl wore very little in public she was called bad words or a witch and maybe got burned at the stake! Nowadays a girl who wears very little and is swimming at the beach is called hot and have a strong Instagram account So this change in values keeps changing depending on all the society view collecting ability – what does that mean – it means the whole society value in which direction. A lot of times that value can be wrong. But no one dare go against the whole society because it is such a big power mostly you will get into trouble. Example Mess World For example, the first person who first thought the world was round, got burned at the stake. So being logically correct, is not as important for survival as sharing a common view. (Writer’s note: Perhaps one way to observe a lifeform, by their evolution level, is how often they burn each other at the stake?)  **Science is not about truth, it is about what is not true.** | So new truth keeps appearing through that process. Our scientists have an interesting history – we never find what is true, we just find the new fake truth to prove the old truth is fake. New fake truth will over time become kicked out as not-true or not-completely-true. This kind of discovery of what-is-truth ability on this planet only happens in humans.  **Lifeform level/zone above survival becomes “finding truth.”** | What about animals? Animals what-is-truth ability, stays about survival. Eat and run away not to get eaten, or injured and die. Desire to live and perhaps share some kind of emotion with a group (monkeys, dolphins, horses, dogs, some birds and some octopus for example.) Humans are in the zone called finding truth.  **Question ability** | But is there a truth our ability can find? Do we have ability to find the truth? That question ability is a special kind of ability leading us to search for the answer. Want to search for the answer ability Question life ability Natural instinct ability is blindly searching And we have such an ability want to search for the answer. Most people don’t have the ability to question this, so only a few wise people will question it. Most people will follow our natural instinct ability, just continue search the answer. Observing the essence The birth of wisdom ability Observing wisdom of life essence ability Scientists understand essence from materials only What is wise-consciousness Some highly-aware humans ask “why do we do that, why do we have to question, why do we search for…” They don’t keep going, they ask why and live in this question-life ability zone. From there they practice observing life back to the essence. To where all the questions appear. To where all the abilities come from. And that one is called wisdom ability. Because they are able to try to understand essence not just continue in a journey of searching. So they are able through understanding essence, review life again and this is called observing wisdom of life essence ability. And this has not happened as a big group in the Earth yet. Scientists try to understand the essence through materials. But they do not understand the true essence of life, consciousness. And only if you try to understand the essence of life, consciousness, the truth of what is our life essence does it count as this wise-consciousness. And this consciousness able to observe the essence of life in humans are the highest because only then can you finally see through it all. If someone doesn’t understand this then they are a slave to the power of desire, in a blind way, keep going, try hard, that is not wise consciousness. Wise consciousness is the final ability to understand life and can find out all the answers. Well there is much more to talk about ability coming in future. Ability you use all the time but you never know what is it. |

**Zhang San Feng Philosophy**

Explanation took many classes

Here is the documented setup of all versions.

**First five parts of first sentence of Zhang Sanfeng – more about condition**

1) Move without blockage, feel whole body light and sensitive

2) When moving – energy connect like a whip

3) Feel internal energy – vibrating chi in Dan Tian

4) Your consciousness stay calm to aware of internal energy and external posture 

5) Aware of the above without mistakes.

**Second sentence – how to be aware of energy**

1) Perfect centre with balloon energy charge

2) The energy charge never breaks – laser line non-stop 

3) Power from foot spring point

4) Strength of the whole leg support the move

5) Control from rolling ball (Dan Tian) from waist

6) Energy finish should appear in the fingers

**Third sentence – Procedure and Self-Defence**

1. First three procedures: Aware Power from Foot to leg to your waist leading all the moves.
2. Train until unite together instinct, top never move without it.
3. Airman and waterman – Move either forward or back, your leg and waist you will be free to get any good position – Shadow Boxing
4. If you cant do it to move for self-defence, your energy will break and you will lose good position

**Question: how to stop breaking energy from happening.**  
**Answer from Sifu:** aware and follow procedure, there is no break, so don’t have to “fix” breaking.

😊🙏

—–

First five parts of first sentence of Zhang Sanfeng

1) When moving, feel whole body light (silkworm line smoke finger – reverse direction to inside)

2) Feel a connection everywhere – there is no breaking point

3) Feel internal energy (chi) is vibrating (muscle relaxed, build energy inside; i.e. when using temper)

4) Aware energy (1-3 to the highest level – extreme detail & control) but hiding energy for others (remain peaceful & calm through being extremely sensitive, close to idea of shadow boxing)

5) Remain 1 to 4 without any break in any second (professional constant control in every part of your body)

🙏😊🐉☯️

——

First five parts of first vertical line (left to right) of Zhang Sanfeng 

1) Move without blockage, feel whole body light and sensitive (silkworm line smoke finger – reverse direction to inside – no blockage) 

2) When moving feel the energy connect like whip (feel a connection everywhere – there is no breaking point) 

3) Feel internal energy (chi) is vibrating in the Dan Tian (muscle relaxed, building energy inside, buzzing; i.e. when using temper) 

4) Your consciousness staying calm, constantly aware of internal energy and external posture 

(aware energy is mastery of first three to the highest level – extreme detail & control, but hiding it from others, hence remaining peaceful & calm through being extremely sensitive; close to idea of shadow boxing) 

5) Aware all of the above without mistakes (remaining in 1 to 4 without any break in any second; constant professional control in every part of your body) 

Six parts of second line of Zhang Sanfeng: 

6) Perfect centre with balloon energy charge (both energy and posture equally balance – equally charged to every angle; posture have perfect center) 

7) The energy charge never breaks – laser line non-stop (the whip energy has to be from foot and never have any break point – the charged energy never breaks, like a laser line) 

8) Power always from foot spring point (always aware your foot (spring point) because that is where the power starts) 

9) Strength of the whole leg to support the move (power is from whole leg to supporting the rest of body upwards – create strength by whole leg) 

10) Control is from rolling ball (Dan Tian) from waist (the control or the direction or attack is from waist rolling) 

11) Energy finish should appear in the finger (energy flow all the way to the finger, hence appearing in the finger) 

These two sentences are about energy control and condition. 

Third line of Zhang Sanfeng: 

12) Power has to be from foot to leg to waist – 3 procedures, which has to be trained until becoming one, (by instinct or intuition – like airman power) 

13) When you move forward or backward, you should get into any good position – position control 

(if you are not in good position, you will lose energy, be out of control and lose future good position)

Dharma Stream Wisdom

3 types of consciousness all come from mix causation.

Living in materials, energy or empty world.

Past Buddha, future Buddha, all teach heart to heart to help you awaken. Not through language, but through language to help you aware your heart. But not possessive of language.

People ask to Buddhidharma:  
If you don’t care about language how can you have a heart?

If you have no heart then how could you ask a question or have an answer.

Question and answer are not the heart but are created by the heart.

That’s why Buddha say not to be possessive of the idea.

Your heart create all the appearance.

Buddha is nothing more than aware true heart  
There’s no other way to become buddha.  
Searching to be awakened you’re just lost and trapped in searching.  
Searching to become Buddha from outside is like searching for the horse when riding the horse, creates more blind illusion.  
Everything we can search is causation.  
Heart is where all the causation come from. It’s not part of causation but creates all the causation.  
That’s why aware true heart you are free from causation and reincarnation. Free from reincarnation then you reach nirvana.  
Buddha awakened because no more limited in causation. Heart not limited then can be free aware anywhere, any time and any space.  
Empty space has no name, no appearance, can’t be held or given away.  
Our heart is more empty than empty space, totally no form.  
Try to grab our heart by searching, totally no chance.  
Directly aware where all the causation come from then you find your true heart, then you become Buddha.  
Our true heart is Buddha.

Taught by Sifu to me and Red Bull at Shen Ren river – (Dharma Stream) (I think)

Awakened is not making an awakened dream. Awakened is awaken from all the dream.

When you are aware life is illusion, then you are awakened.

It’s not about reach nirvana, it’s about away from reincarnation blind creation.

Story

“A monk decides to practice his meditation in a quiet spot.. Away from his monastery, he takes a boat and goes to the middle of the lake, closes his eyes and begins to meditate. After awhile of silence he suddenly feels the blow of another boat hitting his. With his eyes still closed, he feels his anger rising and, when he opens his eyes, he is ready to shout at the boatman who dared to disturb his meditation. But when he opened his eyes, he saw only an empty boat, not tied up, floating in the middle of the lake.  
At that moment, the monk smiles to himself realising that anger is inside him; it simply needs to hit an external object to provoke it.  
After that, whenever he meets someone who irritates or provokes his anger, he remembers; The other person is just an empty boat, the anger is inside me. ”

Poem

Empty boat 🚣‍♀️  
Provoke my anger control  
**Anger is illusion**  
No anger no need to control and nothing can provoke 😊🙏

Empty boat has no-I, no-I has no anger.

Empty boat 🚣‍♀️  
Go with the wisdom flow  
Being everywhere  
Kindness heart save the blindness soul from suffering sea into pure land all  
😊🙏

Explanation

In the end you become the empty boat. Wisdom flow is wisdom-I. No-I teach you no I. Nature have no I. Free to share kindness bring you to pure land.

# Equal Heart

**Piang #1: We don’t learn equal heart in an equal world. We learn equal heart in an unequal world.**

Sifu explanation:

Equal Heart one side – All this ego our blindness our stupidity our attitude and behaviour is not bad if you use Observing Self Being and change it. But if you don’t change it then it’s like you are dirty and don’t shower. You don’t really awaken from your own blindness. Instead you are supporting blindness. It’s like you are dirty and support stinky!

Equal Heart other side – once you are clean you are aware you can be cleaner. Before you used only soap and now you use blue scratchy cloth! The best is to learn from Bodhisattva and Buddha wisdom and compassion. And you learn free from blindness.

So then you learn Equal Heart in both ways.

**Piang #2: Four levels of Observing Self Being.** 

Especially number 2, to be aware we are stuck in number 1! Just observing and supporting our blind self-being – our ego keyhole: what we want, want to be and what we looking for and our habit. Well we are all stuck there most of the time.

Wisdom to aware everything is different but not have any comparing is very high wisdom. And you can free from that you are out of a lot of suffering. Aware difference is important – eat with mouth and goto toilet with bumhole.. know the difference.

You start to become a more tolerant heart for everything. You aware they are equal important in a different way, in a different function, but still different. That will make you see life from many anglers not your own ego angle.

Piang #3: Cleaning can improve martial arts.

### Procedure of Bodhisattva Heart Development: Foundation to develop Bodhisattva ability

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:56.000Z
# Procedure of Bodhisattva Heart Development: Foundation to develop Bodhisattva ability

## Short Summary

### Bodhisattva Way:

Practice Observing Self-Being, before intention, thinking, speaking and action – then joyful and wise result will appear to be received as our experience of life.

### Blind way:

Blind intention, thinking, speaking become blind action – suffering appears, then regret and try to fix the cause or worse just let blind feeling control us. Receive suffering non-stop in a changing way.

## Step by Step

**Step 1 : Surrounding control**

Make sure you don’t connect to the wrong surroundings. Create a harmony, zen-style space, create beauty and art. Then you will receive this beauty and art back through your senses.

**Step 2 : Body control**

Take care of your body. You have to make this procedure all correct so from rough outside, become more pure towards your body temple.

**Step 3: Energy control**

Use body control, to train your energy, practice Chi Gong and Tai Chi. Be more aware of your internal force, create joyful laser-line. Remain with this fine, detailed awareness.

**Step 4: Breathing control**

Come back to your breathing. (For example practice Dragon breathe.) Use this to develop your concentration ability. If you cannot be aware of your breathing for 10 seconds, how can you remain observing your intention? In one breath there is more than 84,000 different intentions.

**Step 5: Aware thinking**

Be aware of your thinking. Don’t let your thinking run in a waterfall in an ego-nonsense way.

At our human level anytime we are not observing philosophy it is in this ego-nonsense way.

Practice re-guiding your thinking by reading and observing philosophy until it becomes pure, 4 eternal heart wisdom thinking, 3 Eternal Dharma Truths thinking. Connect to those philosophies often. Then from rough outside it becomes more fine detailed awareness.

**Step 5: Intention control**

Be a good farmer.  
Bodhisattva practice Observing Self-Being to create Intention, thinking, speaking, action.  
We practice observing after we receive the suffering result.

**Step 6: No-I, Pure heart**

Back to your heart

When your thinking stop, your heart is naturally joy.

When you go back to no I, your heart doesn’t have ego-I. Ego-I is whatever we create, so heart is the creator, heart is not ego-I.

When you understand that you are back to the essence.

Like a cloud moves has no I. Suddenly all your suffering disappears because all your suffering and drama come from your ego I.

Then you are in a pure present, then you will start to see your body automatically balance itself, it is quite amazing. Then all the tension release itself.

Through wisdom observing let that ego-I disappear, hold nothing. Dharma joy appears.

**Step 7: Develop 4 Eternal Hearts**

Once you are back to your essence you are back to your pure spiritual foundation: No-I, pure heart. And from there to observe four eternal hearts you will find that makes complete sense.

All the meaning of life is there.

It is not a question of whether it is perfect or not, It is a question of whether you can do it or not.

Your life is not perfect because you are not aware of that four eternal heart ability in you. So in that pure no-I zone it is easier to develop four eternal hearts.

It is like dirt, you take out the weeds, the poison seeds and now you can plant lotus seeds there. Then everything that grows from there surely benefit yourself and everyone so purifies all.

Through that right procedure you will surely become Bodhisattva.

Buddha say that Bodhisattva is the blind consciousness from the past (like us.)  
Blind consciousness is the future, already learned wisdom awakened Bodhisattva.

So once we awaken we are also Bodhisattva there is no difference.  
And once Bodhisattva develop unlimitedly then they are all Buddha.

That’s why Buddha say all life equal. Buddha love every life perfectly and equally.

When you can love someone 100% it is already a nice feeling. You feel life is great, life is beautiful. You can see through all the blindness and understand everyone’s potential Buddha seeds and love everybody equally, so of course Buddha is in unlimited joy. That loving heart is amazing. And to support that loving heart towards every life need unlimited wisdom.

I observe my life and realise it is built by 2 powers.

One is loving but I don’t love blindness, I love wisdom I love awakened. I love consciousness who love to be awakened. I dont’ love suffering so I love consciousness want to learn to get rid of suffering. For that there is no condition, what colour, country or age, I can love that person 100%. I love all my students. Anyone who is truly sincere heart to learn is amazing and beautiful and my voe is right away love.

And to support that love in a wise direction I have to develop a lot of wisdom and develop wisdom the best way is to share wisdom. That is why when I teach I never have to prepare because it is from my nature two hearts ability – wisdom spiritual love and developing a system to make that happen a convenient wisdom and for many many years we have shared all that strength together.

And that is how to become Bodhisattva heart.

To develop observing ability to aware eternal truth of life and to understand life from every angle – essence, function and goal from all the space and time, from every consciousness all correct and for that realise your normal life there is some wisdom already that awakened consciousness teach us which there is no way you can say something wrong about it. You observe it and you understand everything they say is correct and that need long period of time which we are doing it

## Now deeper layer

Bodhisattva are more concentrated to be aware of cause.

We are only aware after the result and then we try to fix that result.

Then it is like a donkey chasing a carrot tied to a stick in front of it’s face – we chase but can never bite it.

That’s why we have reincarnation, the suffering keeps going and going.

So we are only aware of the result and trying to fix the result.

But we never fix the cause, so the mistake it keeps coming.

Our life is a bit useless in this way because our awareness is lost most of the time – connected to the body and surroundings. And life is causation, so whatever we connect to come back and control us. That’s why beginner learning Buddhism you want to find the right space, let the outside influence us. That is why we need to connect to a dojo and beautiful nature, temples, something that can help us calm down to observe.

Because our consciousness centre is so weak, through body connect to surroundings and we are only aware of the result. So we don’t even really know how it influences us it just happens, then we have a feeling of the result then we follow the feeling blindly.

And that is the worst case – you receive all kinds of information as a causation and become a feeling which is your experience and that feeling control you and become moody up and down and make you create all kinds of bad karma, greedy karma, ego karma and make you trapped in reincarnation. Sometimes even become ghost karma or hell karma. Most humans are into that zone.

Second case is you have feelings which is the blind causation create as some people start, I don’t want follow that feeling, or at least I don’t 100% follow it I still want to have a good intention, or at least logical intention – so they have all kinds of blind feeling as causation combined become their experience. But they still concentrate try to build logical choice or some good intention choice, or friendly choice, or humble choice, or harmony choice. Mixed. That is already much better.

But because we are not able to aware cause, so the blind mix causation will continue appear anyway and you will have to try hard to continue observe why I have to good intention and have logic and life still sucks? Because your good intention is not wise enough your logical choice is not deep enough so then the blindness sometimes runs stronger then you lose all your good attitude and lose good logical, you just become feel shit about everything then you drown so much and then you decide too much drama and comeback oh yeah I should have good intentions and wise choice again – I get help from philosophy and good attitude so come back ah again – cloud move through the wind have no I, let me be the cloud ah, dragon breathe, live in the present, no I, ah go hot spring, relax, acupuncture take out trension, back to no I moment – that is another zone.

Bodhisattva aware directly our heart and ability have unlimited blindness it also have ability to create 4 eternal hearts, so before any intention appear, you already observe philosophy, and remain aware Dharma philosophy and through eternal wisdom and Dharma to create intention which we don’t have that ability.

“Our intention they call “84,000 blind, worry and fear waterfall” because it has no break – even if you can guide some intention into good and/or logical (Zone 2) you have no power to stop that waterfall.

Bodhisattva directly guiding, create Dharma system leading that waterfall water in a logical way to build and become a nice dam – help people to enjoy water for shower, drinking,help farmers to make plants grow.

That system of course not easy to build but Bodhisattva observe how to build that and then observe the Dharma to build all kinds of developing Dharma.

Observing Dharma is wisdom Dharma. Wisdom Dharma become system and that’s called Lifestyle Dharma.

Observing constantly aware eternal truth Dharma is already difficult.

Bodhisattva observing Eternal Truth Dharma and remain aware of it which is already difficult for us because we normally live in our feeling, our feeling control us anyway which is blind causation.

Bodhisattva remain observing Eternal Truth Dharma to create Joyful Dharma, Kindness Dharma, convenient system Dharma to help themselves and others. So their creation power gets stronger. For that they don’t let any blind mix causation create experience and feeling that kind of power control their heart anymore. Finally they can graduate total awakened remain in that easy, always aware Dharma always free to create Dharma wisdom to create everything in a joyful way, in a kindness way, in a generous way, in a wise way to help themselves and others.”

You can’t use bad mood to clean out bad mood  
You can’t use anger to clean out anger  
You can’t use stupidity to clean out stupidity  
You can’t use lazy to make lazy disappear  
You can’t use ego to make less ego

So you have to be really sharp in the present to awaken. Don’t use more suffering to clean out suffering.

Bodhisattva would not use suffering or blindness ego to clean out suffering and blindness ego. They directly use eternal wisdom to create joy, kindness and create wise system to enjoy every present for themselves and help others.

And that is how Bodhisattva is able to completely awaken.

Bodhisattva aware time and space is illusion.  
Bodhisattva aware death is illusion. But no consciousness want to die, otherwise would never want to be born.  
It is actually the body breaking down,

We can also do that (it’s not easy something so advanced to guide our intention into Eternal Wisdom.)

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:04.000Z
Heart Sutra

Heart Sutra is the book for learning the foundation ability of the highest level of Buddhism, Buddhisatva system.

Heart Sutra is a guide for blind consciousness to be awakened.

Being awakened means being out of suffering eternally. This means to understand and be aware of Heart. Heart does not mean the material heart. Heart means the true force of life, the true force of your life and the true force of every life.

Heart is the power to aware, and observing the heart is the way to clean out suffering from its cause. Heart has the potential to create unlimited different types of blindness or unlimited joy.

To observe anything completely means to understand 3 parts, essence, function and goal

The essence of Heart is the power to be aware also called true consciousness.

Heart has 4 functions.

Hidden consciousness. The Hidden consciousness is all the information about our lives from our past as well as all the potential unlimited information for eternal future. This includes all the causes for why we are as we are now.

“I” consciousness. This is the feeling that we are separate from everything else, This is why we are aware that we are us and not somebody else.

Sub – consciousness (5 senses) The sub consciousness happens automatically. For example we feel that we are hungry or tired or pain. This information does not need to pass through our thinking. We are directly aware of it through our 5 senses.

Brain Consciousness. Is the awareness of thoughts, language and ideas, it is for memorizing, organizing, calculating and deciding.

The goal of Heart is also called intention.

Our intention is the cause behind all the different kinds of suffering we experience. Often we have a very hard time using our brain to understand our intentions so this is why suffering is still a mystery for us. But simply if our intentions are from a blind cause we create all kinds of blindness and suffering.

Heart Sutra is for helping us purify the deepest layer of our intentions so that all awareness can go into the direction of unlimited joy. This is called being an awakened consciousness, before this stage is called blind consciousness. The journey from blind to awakened consciousness has many different levels and tricks.

Awakened consciousness can aware of other lives, because they know that every life is alike and they are perfectly aware of themselves.

Awakened consciousness do not have suffering anymore so they do not have fear and this is where true self – confidence comes from. True self – confidence is being able to see life in the bright side eternally.

Wisdom is the power to be kind and caring to help other life also be awakened.

Bodhisattva means being awakened; being pure intention, not creating(blindness) using wisdom to create 6 Bodhisattva characters to help other life release their blindness

Heart Sutra is to help any life be awakened and learn the wisdom of helping other lives.

Last updated: 2020-07-11T04:23:34.000Z
3 Eternal Gates Philosophy ⛩  
—  
All Bodhisattva become Buddha through graduate these 3 Gates. In no 2 philosophy these 3 are 1 and called no 2 Gates.  
—  
Empty  
Release  
Wuway  
—  
From No 2 Wisdom These Gates are not different.  
But can talk about these three different:  
—  
Empty Gate – is the essence. You aware your aware it’s always empty. When you are aware of the awareness ability then you are aware it’s empty. When you observe the observer then you aware the observer is empty. Back to the essence.  
—  
Release Gate – is through observing ability. Observing what create the blindness. And what blindness create. Observing internal self blindness. Observing convenient Wisdom to help other life out of blindness. Then that release gate can become eternal, can release the cause, can release the result and can release your own and for others.  
—  
Wuway Gate – living in no beginning no end. Always through Observing Self Being Dharma Wisdom and create wise choice.  
Wu means No. In here means No ego, no negative personal, no blindness, no greed. Way means to Act. Together means to act without illusion I. By following Wisdom choice eternally in any situation.  
—  
In no 2 philosophy these 3 are 1 and called no 2 Gates.  
The reason they are 1 is like an open hand or holding a fist. It is still just 1 hand. Unlimited layer wave is still just one ocean. A thousand layer of smiling is just one Dharma Buddha Hearts Joy.  
These 3 are all from True Heart so they are 1\. True Heart is always empty, it is always pure. Because it is pure it can purify to release all the blindness and muddy dirt. And change muddy dirt to become a lotus. And the way in which it releases all the blindness is to create wise choice 4 eternal heart. To become Buddha and awaken true heart.  
Like a caterpillar into a cocoon to become a butterfly. These 3 as 1\. No 2 Gate has another name called as 1 Gate.  
—  
As 1 Gate also has another name called Equal Heart. They all are different but still 1\. All different and still equal.

No I.  
No Human.  
No Lifeform.  
No Lifetime.  
.  
Observing No I makes heart not support judgement I. Things should be like this, like that and so on.  
.  
Heart becomes free and into a peaceful zone. No expectations just aware the awareness boundary. Aware it is temporary. Back to pure observing.  
.  
Also aware how crazy 😜 (in a piang way) that is. True self is unlimited potential but create a human I in a bubble world. And to support that I is to live in a burning house 🏠 🔥 Blindness is Blindness and has no cause.  
.  
Right direction is to purify and be born into Amitabha pure land to truly learn No I. 😀🙏🏻

Awareness ability has no movement.

Because it has no speed to move it is not illusion being – the appearance of all life forms.

Since it doesn’t move it has no form.

Awareness ability has  
No form or Empty space  
No movement or still  
No sound or silent  
No taste or lack of taste  
No smell or blocked  
No touch or separation  
No thought or unsure

Not anything we can be aware of , but able to be aware of anything

### Wu Wei into Amitabha Buddha System
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/wu-wei-into-amitabha-buddha-system/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:25.000Z
# **What is Wu-Wei? 無爲**

## **Definition:** 

- Wu-Wei means to Act without I

## **Daoist explanation:**

- Act without I, remain in harmony, but go with extreme opposites

## **Buddhist explanation:**

- Aware Life is Illusion, there is no-I to act

**Either is very hard to do!** 

**Enjoy practicing towards that!**

—–

# **Wu-Wei into Amitabha Buddha System**

## **There is no stronger jail than ourselves**

1. 1. 1. We are so strongly stuck in it, but just like every bubble it will soon pop and disappear.
    2. Wise consciousness can remain, at the same time, aware life is an illusion and not be trapped by it. **The true jail is to be unaware that it is an illusion.**
    3. Practice your disciplines to be free from your body, free from your thinking, free from your experiences, free from I into Nirvana.

## **To awaken means to take out your temporary illusion-I, illusion-self, to observe life.**

1. 1. 1. Normally we only observe through our temporary illusion I. This is our keyhole to judge everything.
    2. Only when we are free of our little keyhole can we have a chance to see the whole universe again.

## **Wu Wei – To act without blind ego I.**

1. 1. 1. Any I is a blind ego I

## **Use Wu Wei to practice the Amitabha system.**

1. 1. 1. Wu Wei is away from blind action, so at that moment, use Wu-Wei in the present to follow Amitabha Buddha System 3 conditions – hold nothing, create no bad karma and bow sincerely. Be like the lotus.Then you are living a lotus system, take all the negative and blind muddy dirt and grow a beautiful, wise, kind lotus.

## **Create philosophy wisdom dreams to help other life, and make life meaningful in a joyful way.**

1. 1. 1. Share the philosophy and make life meaningful.
    2. Through meaningful action to feel joy and develop wisdom

## **Be the director to change blind temporary, blind habit I dream, into a meaningful dream.**

1. 1. 1. Purify system, blindness is the muddy dirt that can become a lotus.

## **Develop a meaningful life dream, but be aware the dream is still an illusion. No I, no human, no life-form, no lifetime.**

1. 1. 1. When you try to make life meaningful, you create an ego, so you still have to free yourself from that “meaningful” ego. This ego can be much bigger than a regular ego.

## **Take “I as important” is where all the suffering comes from.**

1. 1. 1. Simple sentence, but so powerful.

## **Pure heart, pure concentration to be aware of the difference, with no judgemental I.**

1. 1. 1. No I, does not mean to be aware of nothing, it means to develop towards becoming a Bodhisattva. Life remains an illusion so remain aware of all the angles of life without a judgemental heart.

## **See through the illusion, observing all blind life is trapped in the illusion, without judgement ego.**

1. 1. 1. We are aware we are trapped in an illusion, then we see others also like that so compassion comes from there.
    2. If you are only observing your own being then you are not developing the Bodhisattva system. Every life is trapped in a similar way, so an equal heart will start to appear.

## **Start to view life as a dream illusion, watching a movie, I’m here to enjoy and learn within this human experience dream.**

1. 1. 1. I’m hear, now, learning life is an illusion and how to enjoy it

## **Towards Wu Wei is towards Amitabha’s heart and system.**

1. 1. 1. Amiraba Buddha kindness has no I, but acts to help every life.
    2. Also taking out ego, already means we are back to the pure zone to observe life again.

## **If you truly understand Buddhism and Amitabha Buddha’s system you will not have a searching heart, because you are already found.**

1. 1. 1. Answer is to purify the illusion, not try to find something in the illusion.
    2. Free from trying hard, always searching – searching for I or a searching-I: free from both.
    3. But still have a kind and wise heart, create pure land kindness for self and others.
    4. The Amitabha Buddha System wants you to reach that. So if you understand both, you are on the path to awakening

## **Wu Wei can be used to develop 4 eternal hearts.**

1. 1. 1. 4 Eternal Hearts is another way to talk about Wu-Wei.  
      1. Take out your I to act – No I, no negative personal, no stupidity no greed – instead a kind way, caring way, wise way, free way without greedy way – a generous way.

## **Wu Wei is the system to learn to become Buddha. It is also the most powerful way, the wisest way to reach Amitabha Buddha Pure Land.**

1. 1. Observe your heart every second to remain pure and kind. I am so lucky to learn all of this. Amitabha Buddha is so kind to share these 3 points for us to reach the level to be out of suffering – thi is so amazing. My goal is to do my best.

# How to practice:

When you bow to any Buddha.

Be aware of your will – not yourself

Be aware of Buddha’s Will – which is also no I

Then you are practicing act without I

For example: 

When you bow to Amitabha Buddha.

Be aware of your will – not yourself

Be aware of Amitabha Buddha’s Will – which is also no I

Then you are practicing act without I

Nothing has Nothing Summary

Red Bull’s question:  
“I don’t understand, when you say No I it sounds like escapism, like I don’t exist, but I do..?” 🤔

Sifu:  
Well, any I is illusion.  
So when it’s a negative I,  
it’s like a nightmare, you want to wake up.  
And when you wake up, it’s disappeared.  
So No I, no connection.  
You wake up, you have no connection to the nightmare.  
And good dream, enjoy it, wake up, also know it’s illusion.  
So you enjoy the dream,  
enjoy the ride,  
enjoy the positive creation I.  
But when it’s finished, also don’t chasing it.  
So you will not up and down.  
You will only up, enjoy all the dream in a good way.  
And free from the negative dream.

Summary:  
Nothing has nothing  
Also means No I, no connection  
It means all the negative I, free from it  
All the positive I, enjoy it and also not chasing for it

### The true purpose of life is no purpose

Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:22:47.000Z
The true purpose of life is no purpose.  
.  
Purpose is different than to have a meaning.

  
Purpose means you are trying to reach somewhere, to reach some goal.  
But if you are aware of the meaning, then you live in the present.

  
Because we are searching to have a purpose, a lot of the time our ego gets big through those purpose we’ve found or through the purpose we even haven’t found.

A lot of brutal things happen when people have a greedy ego purpose and everything that stops them on their way they will destroy it. No awareness of all the other beautiful things and meanings from other people’s, other life’s their purpose or their meaning.

So purpose a lot of the time is created by our ego and greed. In fact, it doesn’t bring you happiness. Many people don’t have a purpose and they are happy. When we are kids we don’t have a purpose, we just naturally enjoy to play. To play is not a purpose, it’s in the present to enjoy the game.

When you have a purpose you are no longer wanting to observe the reality. Because the only thing you are going to observe is towards that purpose. That makes you have a strong passionate force, in the wrong direction. Because you are not aware of reality from many many angles anymore. You don’t care about observing anymore.

So people truly aware of the meaning of life, is different to people with passion with a purpose. If they are aware of the true meaning of life they realise not to be searching and crazy for their personal greed for anything is the purpose. For that they will have no purpose. So no purpose is the purpose.

Because any purpose takes you out of the purpose of life. It makes you searching and crazy greedy for your own personal issue and personal greed and personal want. The true meaning of life is actually to enjoy life. Enjoy life you have to be aware of life and life only happens in the present. So our heart if it’s all trapped in the past and then form the cause of the past greed and searching for the future for something that has not yet arrived, not yet appeared, we miss all the present. Continue doing that, cause from the greed from the past, searching for the ambition of the purpose of the future. We continue to miss every true present.

That means we are living but we don’t have a life.

Because life means constantly changing in every present. It’s two parts, one is constantly changing and one is every present. So there’s no such thing as present no changing. So able to match the changing in all the present, means you have to be aware.

Because since it’s changing you cannot have a set one idea, because everything keep changing. So you have to keep observing self being to match all the changing. And that makes you have to stay aware.  
If you are not trying to be aware then you actually don’t have life. Because to have a life is to be aware more. Once you’re not aware of more, then you are already no life.

So the purpose of life is to enjoy life. It’s also the true meaning of life. That will only happen when you out of any greedy blind personal purpose. So no purpose is the purpose.

Every purpose makes you out of: live in present ability.

When you have a purpose your heart is in a searching ambitious zone, making your heart not free as it’s trapped in that zone. Never content. Unable to relax in the present. It;s only when you have no purpose then can you suddenly realise that wah you’re free, your heart is free.

When your heart is not free then that is definitely not the meaning of life.

A lot of kids in the present they smile and are joyful from heart, but a lot of adults when they grow up they cannot do this anymore. Because they are already into this blind habit of searching for the purpose. Then all the purpose become a jail for them.

But when we are kids a lot of time we have no purpose and our heart was content, by enjoying something.

But that pure content to enjoy nature, enjoy some activity, most people lose it because they have too many purpose.

Want to keep a happy relaxed heart then we have to have no purpose.

But the problem is a happy child heart with no purpose will a lot of the time enjoy life in a stupid way. So we still have to develop wisdom to observing self being ability of how to have the wisdom to guide no purpose in a meaningful way.

To have a clear meaning but not for a greedy purpose in the future, that’s what the complete view to understand what no purpose is the purpose of life means.

The meaning of life we didn’t talk about it very deeply. We just said enjoy life. When you enjoy life you never ask what’s the meaning of life because you already enjoy life. You don’t worry about the meaning as you are already enjoying life. You reach somewhere you are not going to ask ‘oh am i going to reach somewhere’ as you already reached it. When you are there you never have any questions, it’s only when you’re not happy then you are searching for something.

Enjoy life means you already live in the present, you are out of searching, you’re already content.

But to be able to have the ability to enjoy life requires a lot of wisdom, because it needs many different kinds of ability.

You need:  
Foundation observing ability, to observe life from many many clear and complete angles, so you don’t get lost by doing something stupid

That’s why one side you have to keep a child heart. One side you have to develop wisdom.

Because you don’t want to do sometihng stupid with that enjoy life, no purpose attitude.

No purpose and enjoy life doesn’t mean that you can just behave childish and in a stupid way, because that causes suffering.

Happy child heart and purely enjoy every present is beautiful. But without sidom to support it, it can be dangerous and suffering.

Every heart when they are truly happy and content there is no question and no searching for any purpose. They have already arrived. Like the Dao – The true goal is in the present.

So the true happiness is like the Dao. When you reach it it means you are already happy in the present. But you have to search for it, I mean you don’t understand Dao, you don’t understand the true meaning of life. But once you understand then no more searching.

Cool right? Cool subject.

To develop wisdom you have to observe both the essence and the changing.

Observe the essence you remain calm and pure. Because the essence is not any of this changing, so you are free from this insecure changing and through that you have pure essence to handle all the changing.

In Chinese they say – aware the wisdom of no changing to handle all the changing.

Because if you use changing to handle all the changing, it’s very stressful and tiring. You will also feel very insecure.

But if you have a very perfect centre that is being kind and being wise in a pure way, that doesn’t change. Then outside can change to whatever and it won’t matter, as nothing is going to change you because you already are living in the meaning of life. Being that pure kindness and wise centre without changing.

But to handle all outside, your kindness still needs convenient wisdom. Becuase you want to be kind to a kid or a baby or someone who is hungry and give them food, you will not give them all the same amount of food. So the kindness is the same, but the way to handle the kindness towards different situation is different.

So one side you remain aware of the essence, you remain peaceful, calm and safe, no changing.

The other side you’re aware of all the changing, then you develop convenient wisdom. Your observation gives you the ability to have wisdom to create all kinds of systems to handle all different types of changing.

System is an important word. Because if you change things without a system, then the power you develop will be for the short term. It’s only when it becomes a system then it becomes the long term. It becomes a larger capability. Discipline to create many systems for all types of different timing, consciousness, different space. You can’t look after a fish the same way you would a cat. Then the timing can change so you have to continue to update your system, can’t just stay the same.

Child heart is just happy playful heart to enjoy, playing, sharing and enjoy the wonder of life in the present.

We grow up we think we know everything, and we wonder why am i not happy. And that’s why, we killed the mysterious wonder of life. We killed the truth of life. You’re i know everything is in fact you don’t know anything. And because you think you know everything but of course you don’t know anything, that makes you the most blind person. And then you’re out of observation and you’re not curious to know any other people’s observation or angle and life. Because of that everyone becomes your enemy because you are not aware of them. They are all against you anyway because you are against all of them.

So open heart and open mind will live in the present, always humble, always tolerant and always observing to be aware of more angles of life. Never have a big ego to say i know everything. Willing to share what they know, willing to develop what they know and also willing to change what they know if they see the truth have more angels. They always remain true heart, sincere heart to update their information, if what they are aware is not complete. They remain truthful and want to be aware of more truth.

If they don’t have a truthful sincere heart that wants to be aware of more than what they already know, they basically kill their happiness.

So learning is happiness, open heart is happiness, tolerance is happiness, harmony is happiness, open mind is happiness, observing all of this is happiness.

Observing life is happiness.  
Observing self being is happiness.  
Happiness is everywhere we just not able to use our treasure born within our heart..

Chakras are pools of spiraling energy in our bodies. There are seven chakras that go up the body. Each pool of energy has a purpose, and can be blocked by a specific kind of emotional mark. Be warned: opening the chakras is an intense experience, and once you begin this process, you can not stop until all seven are open.

The first chakra is the Earth chakra, located at the base of the spine. It deals with survival, and is blocked by fear.

What are you most afraid of? Let your fears become clear to you. You are concerned about your survival, but you must surrender those fears. Let your fears flow down the creek.

Next is the Water chakra. This chakra deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt.

Look at all the guilt that burdens you so. What do you blame yourself for? Now accept the reality that these things happened. But do not let them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself.

Third is the Fire chakra, located in the stomach. This chakra deals with willpower, and is blocked by shame.

What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in yourself? You will never find balance if you deny this part of your life.

The fourth chakra is located in the Heart. It deals with love and is blocked by grief.

Lay all your grief out in front of you. Love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. A love of your lost ones has not left this world, it is still inside of your heart; and it is reborn in a form of new love. Let it flow through you.

The fifth in the chain is the Sound chakra, located in the throat. It deals with the truth, and is blocked by lies, the ones we tell ourselves.

You can not lie about your own nature. You must accept yourself as you are.

The sixth pool of energy is the Light chakra, located in the centre of the forehead. It deals with insight, and is blocked by illusion.

The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. We are all connected, and everything is connected. Even the separation of the four elements is an illusion. If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one; four parts of the same whole. Even metal is just a part of earth that has been purified and refined.

The final chakra is Thought chakra and is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachment.

Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in the state of mind where you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. Now, let all of those attachments go, let them flow down the river; forgotten. You must learn to let go, otherwise you won’t be able to let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the Universe

# Bodhidharma Sutra – Conversation between Double Dragon Dharma Self Being and Dharma Joy

“Third, seeking nothing. People of this world are deluded. They’re always longing for something-always, in a word, seeking. But the wise wake up.”

Been reading the Bodhidharma translations most morning. Sinking more to heart and it’s cool to observe regular life from that angle.

Been writing own notes to help it sink deeper to heart.😀👌🏻  
—  
We mostly live life searching. For this, for that, constantly seeking the next thing. Food, money, house, car, sex, satisfaction, security, excitement, status. The list can be endless.

But everything we search for appears and disappears. It is illusion. It’s Empty. And the final result (if you don’t see through it) is it’s back to empty anyways.  
💀🙏🏻 and that process can go on for a long long time.

And the only thing that is eternal doesn’t actually appear.  
And if you can’t observe that which doesn’t appear then you are blind.  
And that blindness results in a lot of suffering.

How tricky is that ?  
So how to observe the essence ?  
How to remain in that zone all the time, not just occasional in but mostly out of it ?

😀🙏🏻

—

Ben Cullen: 😀🙏🏻

Seanpig: Cool Bull 🙏🐉 but what is the answer to the last bit?

Practice disciplines all the time?? This would be pretty dry, or?

Ben Cullen: Well still observing. But essentially questions relate to how to become Bodhisattva. And to become Bodhisattva 1st level is to be aware of 100 million universes and have purified those universes.

So for our level what is the reality ? Because for this temporary I there is a struggle to keep just one mini universe (the body) in harmony.

So am observing the 3 Eternal Dharma Chop as one way into it or as Bodhidharma translation. How to enter the path.

if remember correctly it’s:  
Bodhidharma Observe Essence Wisdom  
Into Observing Self Being (Heart Sutra) Into Amitabha Buddha System 3 Conditions.

Discipline is essential yes. But it’s just one of the Bodhisattva characters. And I think there discipline level is super super high.  
But if we had the discipline (and ability) to eternally share Dharma Wisdom with other life and help other life be aware life is illusion then yes we would have no more suffering. As that ability means all the other 6 have been developed.

What do you observe ? 😀🙏🏻

Seanpig: I observe deeply develop 6 Bodhisattva characters is a good human level approach, so mostly heart sutra wisdom. You answer is more complete I think 🤔 😊🙏🐉

Ben Cullen: Mostly just amped up on morning green tea and coffee mix

Life is free if we have no greed , see through all the blind illusion and aware life is illusion ,we will connect to Amitabha Pure land unlimited dharma joy reality

Eight stage meditation

1) Observe without intention

Pure curiosity and excitement to aware life

2) Back to innocent

Whole body no tension,breath and body completely united as one

3) Silence of the sense

All the information aware through the senses pass through the body with no ego filter at all sound can be light all the sense information become one.

4) Pure heart awaken

And the body start to show magic force light and space begin to change

5）No Space Boundaries

In this stage of meditation, your consciousness is no longer locked in the human Physical I and is free to travel into different spaces of the universes, without boundaries. Any space can connect to any other space; any space can be seen from different angles at the same time.

6）No Time Limitation

Your consciousness is able to be aware of different times – past, present, future, microseconds (1/1,000,000th of a second), a billion universe births, all of eternity, until there’s no time, until all the different times appear at the same time

7）No Real Is Reality

At this point, your awareness has reached an unbelievable freedom. When space and time become completely free, the consciousness is ending to the result – no reality is the reality – being totally free to be aware of anything.

8）Everything Is Everything

Once you attain total free awareness, your imagination force has the power to create anything. True magic appears and everything can become everything: water can be fire, non-life can become alive, sound can be light, smell can be idea, touch can be taste, and thought can be space…

When you have the power of the Eight-Stage Meditation, a great test will come; you could be lost and become either an Ego God or an Ego Devil (both still trapped in reincarnation). If you pass the test, your True Heart will open and the Four Eternal Hearts will begin to grow, to help unlimited life without Blind ego, and become amazing Bodhisattva,and all the unlimited Buddha’s pure land will open for you .

Life is incredible

### Qualities of Illusion I vs qualities of Spiritual I

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
Qualities of Illusion I

Temporary 無常  
Suffering 苦  
No true self 無我  
Blind -Empty 空

Qualities of Spiritual I

Eternal 常  
Joy 樂  
True I 我  
Pure

We goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land also to try to reverse the Illusion-! four into the Spiritual I four.

And the philosophy “One Heart, Two Gates” talk about these two.

If we are not awakened we will look at everything in the short-term, no eternity there. Then we will take this suffering, think that it is even you, and our 4 element body is not even you, it’s empty, but we will take it as ourselves, no true self and take that as ourselves, of course suffering will haunt us for a long time. And our ego will even support it further! Blindness multiplied by blindness.

Take the four illusion qualities, suffering, empty 4 elements, temporary quality as you and create an illusion I. Then we will concentrate our heart there.

We are learning to be free from that.

But that is the dream we are learning to be free from, to awaken from. A nightmare, suffering, reincarnation forever.

So Amitabha Buddha system help you to reverse all of that, purify all of this blindness into the true spiritual quality which is Dharma Joy.

Dharma Joy only come from connect to True eternal wisdom – so when heart become that power then you become that Dharma joy. That power of course is eternal wisdom, so it surely exist. Since it exists in an eternal way it will remain perfect. That is why Pure Land is eternal. You will never lose all the wisdom you learn. So for that when you become Buddha , living in no beginning no end, in an unlimited way Dharma Joy, not game over, game success.

Game Over unlimitedly in reincarnation. Out of reincarnation, into Pure Land one day become Buddha, game success.

Pure Land is the best way to play this game. Change blind I consciousness into true I awakened spiritual heart.

And in that process we have to awaken everything.

So dont be lazy to take care of your subconsciousness: Acupuncture, yoga, stretching, tai chi, meditation.

You want to enjoy the wisdom, not like ‘I have to do it.’ You never do well like this.

If I am aware of the philosophy and enjoy to do it then I enjoy.

You have to go back and ask why are you lazy, why you don’t care? You have wrong psychology.

Because it is a perfect philosophy with joy, with harmony, with beautiful centre, beautiful flow, timeless feeling and help you become healthy and strong and elegant. So it should be very joyful.

**And that philosophy is not as difficult as four eternal hearts.**
### Zen Meditation

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
Zen Meditation – first draft

First one is called Speaking Zen. This one you don’t want to be involved in. Run away from this one.

There is a story about two monks. Whilst they were listening to philosophy, one says, “Hey look, watch the flag is moving.”

Then the other one says “Yes the wind is moving the flag.”

The other one says “No, no, the flag is moving, not the wind.”

The other monk replies “Yeah but no wind, how can the flag move. So the wind you can’t see it.”

“Yeah but I see the flag is moving and so I say that.”

So they argue.

Then they say “Well, you’re not aware of what I see, so how do you know what I say. It’s the flag, I can see it.”

“Yeah but your eyes are not my eyes but we can see the same thing and understand the same meaning. We know there must be wind to move the flag.”

And so they continued to argue and be smart, neither wanting to give up.

Then the Master finally came to say “It’s not the flag moving, it’s not the wind moving, it’s your ego blindness that is moving.”

Kong. Argument finished, all quiet 🙂

So the monks just tried to talk smart to prove I’m better than you, so that kind of Zen is the opposite of Zen. You’re not actually trying to purify your heart, you’re actually making more pollution by trying to talk wise and smart.

In that direction, it’s all called Speaking Zen.

A lot of Chinese people are very good at this. They know it’s wrong but they still love to do it.

Speaking Zen usually you don’t have true ability. What’s the true ability is what I will teach now.

**It’s called One Heart Ability.**

**One Heart Ability is first Zen ability.**

Lets’s look at Matt Horse. Looking at his face, guess how many directions his heart is in every second? Is there any second where his heart is only in one direction?

Horse: “What do you mean by direction?”

Sifu: “Your heart is totally united in one quality… Don’t worry, if you’re thinking, then that means no, heart is not united.”

Whenever you think, whenever you have personal character, any ego I, then there’s no chance. This quality never appears.

Your heart is not your True Heart. It’s called Causation Heart. It’s actually a feeling you have and you take it as your heart.

And that feeling is a combination of many many things. There are many causes, and many directions, many guidings, ambitious, desire, nonsense, unsure, doubt, exciting.. They all come to see which causation (connect to outside or inside) is stronger.

> **At that stage, there is no Zen. It means your heart is not One Heart.**

The moment you reach One Heart, content appears. That’s the moment your heart really sees, that’s truly truly what I want.

Your heart can be aware of that. So when your heart reaches to that point, totally really content, then that’s called First Zen.

If you use thinking and searching heart, you will never find that. Your searching heart and thinking creates more blindness. It’s the opposite united makes it impure.

It’s only when you make it pure, empty, then it’s one. Like empty space is one, you can’t search for it. So when your heart is really No I, in a pure stage, then you experience One Heart.

In fact, when your Illusion Heart is totally Empty Heart, you don’t use thinking, and your pure heart, essence is pure.

So the First Zen is not like you create First Zen. It’s actually just back to where has always been the Original Zen. So it’s also called the roots of all the Zen. In Chinese, it’s called “Chán”.

It’s your natural pure stage. It appears when you are smiling, no thinking, pure stage.

\*Sifu demonstrates a seated Tai Chi flow, so light, so delicate with fine detail, that helps him reach this First Zen.

In this moment, thinking stops. There’s a new sensation of energy harmony flow that creates a natural content. That is using movement energy, moving meditation to create this One Heart Zen.

Muscle style, some people train hard, and to a certain point they actually experience that.. They become One Heart, no more thinking. They just feel Ah Ok, I exist! I really want this! To a point they actually create joy to themselves and they’re addicted to that.

Same as people that run a lot. They want to experience the endorphins hormones and joy and One Heart feeling. But mostly they will not find it again. They normally one time try to past their limit and then they experience Wahh this is great, I’m free! I’m really doing what my heart wants. I passed through my limit and all the BS!

Many sports, when they are into high concentration, they will all experience that. It doesn’t have to be through Tai Chi.

But Tai Chi is a healthy way and easy way.

Sifu demonstrates: So curve, then into that curve, unite the whole body. Feel the centre. You have learnt the first system, very easy can reach First Zen. One, pure, joyful, content heart.

Flow and then feel the harmony, then your mind becomes not thinking.

Feel your heart is content, no searching.

Happy New Year, that is your original Zen. Your heart is always happy and joy and pureness and harmony. When you take out all the blind habits, it’s always there. It’s always innocent and pure, curious, with a good intention and joyful heart towards life.

But because we have a lot of blind habits, we make our heart cannot shine.

Slowly open your eyes. Did you enjoy your First Level Zen Meditation? Did you feel your heart is back to pure and joy?

For me, if i check I can do the light energy flow (Seated Tai Chi flow) then I find I can into it, if not I know that my heart is just teared by many things.

When your heart is teared by many things, none of them are reality. They are all illusion. They are all basically blindness greed and influenced by everything around, by your own heart.

But in every present, out of all that illusion, life is perfect. It’s always pure. It’s always possible to have curiosity with pure intention.

Now, are you ready to understand the Second Zen?

Second Zen, when your heart is already pure, curious, content, not in a stage of searching, but in a stage of wonder, amazing, observing Zen.

What does that mean?

Normally your observing is not pure. You haven’t reached the first stage. So whatever you observe from already your heart which has been tearing apart, so you are observing all that.. We call that “Wild Horse Heart” running everywhere.

When you actually have this pure First meditation, you’re observing is no more for that Wild Horse, only limited, go nowhere.

Your observing is called Pure Observation and then amazing feeling will appear, because life is amazing. If you’re purely to observing it, you will realise everything is amazing.

The reason you don’t see life is amazing is because we only see our own greed and ego and our moody, our limited feelings.

But, if we actually take out the I and start observing life, and aware that everything is created by causation, and see how everything becomes a cause to each other, in an incredible unlimited way effect to each other, and you start observing life not for yourself, you just observing life just how life is, you start observing causation.

Second Zen is called Wisdom Amazing Observing Causation Without I. Then the wisdom joyful heart will start to appear.

As Buddha says, from there, you are one step closer to the first Enlightenment.

There are four kinds of Enlightenment. The First Enlightenment is actually observing causation without personal.

“Er Chan”, Second Zen Meditation. Observing causation of life in the present, now, without any I. Every sound, every exist, every trick, every layer, observing all causation. How in the present, perfect united together. Whatever we call the moment, life truly is magical illusion.

When consciousness deep observing causation without personal, wisdom grows. The feeling towards life changes. It becomes truly amazing and wonder of force of life.

How incredible, every second you are perfect through causation system that never makes any mistake. Any materials, energy in all the appearing forms. Different times, different space, in every situation, in every language, in every different species, causation runs now 100% perfect in a very complete and complicated but simple way.

Causation cause connects to your own Main Cause the strongest. Everything else slowly influenced from long time ago. The future possibility is called Indirect Causation.

Everything has to happen with timing. Consciousness amazing, all this incredible complicated causation but remain clear in this perfect system. And the Wisdom Heart start to appear, start able to concentrate. Not just personal blind action and experience. For that, blind consciousness has a chance to become awakened.

Because of awaken possibility, observation becomes even more amazing. Realise now through this observation, I can truly awaken and I have the ability too. So the freedom heart start to appear.

Slowly open your eyes.

So what does Second Zen mean? Second Zen is harder to reach.

It means you already understand what the philosophy says. You are observing causation and aware the Four Causes. Realise the Four Causes control everything.

Then you realise you have the power now to aware these Four Causes. If you control them, you actually control life. Not blindly let all kinds of causation control you.

But in reality, out of these Four, to be aware first of Main Cause. You start to realise I haven’t even actually worked hard on my Main Cause. Then you start to bring the wisdom into your own life, work on your Main Cause for a long long period of time.

Then second Zen will start to appear itself. You will suddenly feel your heart is free, not all these blind so many meaningless things from this world, and all these habits from my own blind feelings in this lifetime and past lifetimes. They can’t affect me.

Able to remain Main Cause in a wise choice, through understanding Eternal Truth. Through Pure Land system, connect to Amitabha Buddha. My heart remains sharp and pure and clear as a Main Cause. Not the world controls me.

Then this power becomes reality. You suddenly feel a big freedom appears.

First time you are ever aware birth death, all the pollution, all the suffering cannot control you, you are totally going to create a Pure Land. Your entire spiritual causation because the ability of create your Main Cause is built and the roots already strong. You already in regular life are disciplined, always observing it, allows not follow blindness, and then it becomes Natural Being.

So the Second Meditation probably can take your time to experience it. If you truly want to reach it, you will have to in regular life clean out blind habits, blind action, then make sure your Main Cause always remains as First Meditation, pure observing heart. Make sure it always observes Eternal Wisdom and connects to a Spiritual Will and connects to a spiritual intention in a wise way.

Then the power will run and run and run, you will reach new unlimited joy because your heart can control life. Life cannot control you. Your heart is the joy, eternal power itself because you have already seen through the blindness and don’t want to let blindness be the cause. You already can create unlimited joy even for a second just be.

But even that is not even Boddhisattva yet. And that is the first Nirvana.

The first Nirvana is out of Causation. Observing causation and out of causation. Because causation is all kinds of causes creates results, results become causes. It’s like a soup, like a big fried rice mix.

Through observing your heart becomes pure with wisdom supporting it. That ability is the true Zen ability. It’s not Speaking Zen, and that shows in your character. That’s why all boddhisattva’s say to become a boddhisattva, you have to develop 6 Boddhisattva Characters.

So, I’ve introduced two Zen Meditations.

Om.

Do you enjoy the definition of Zen Meditation?

So let’s continue practice Level 1\. Joyful energy, No I meditation. Moving meditation in fact is in the First Zen and actually we are not even graduate in the first one.

So let’s start with the foundation… 🙂

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:36.000Z
# Moving Meditation Course 1

**We exist like one drop of rain drop in the sky.**

And the birth is from the clouds, falling to the earth become part of the waterfall and exciting rush into the river and then flow to the unknown ocean.

This drop seems individual but also connected to every other drop and when you reach the final you will realise it was never alone. There is a big unlimited ocean have the same essence as this drop and will unite and melt together with every drop and become one amazing unlimited force of ocean.

Individuall we feel vulnerable individually we feel fear and worry and there is birth and death, there is illness and death and all kinds of suffering can appear.

But if we can truly see through that drop, that essence was never alone, it was connected to everything and we are aware we are also not alone. Every life may come from a different journey but ending to the same the big circle of water, from the ocean steam up become the clouds, again, fall back as an individual rain drop and then exciting again into the birth of waterfall and fall into the unknown new journey, like this we experience life in many different reincarnations.

And each reincarnation we again blindly try to find this circle and reach the future and try to search and try to find the final journey but we never find the final journey , as that drop will never find the final journey either because the eternal circle means the circle itself is the journey not there is a point become a journey. To continue to follow the circle is the journey. So able to live in present able to enjoy our journey, is the final journey.

We will one day realise to stop reincarnation is not to stop reincarnation, it is to enjoy reincarnation as every present and that is where reincarnation stops, that is where you reach no beginning no end, live in timeless zone, and finally out of reincarnation, live in will of joy live in will of being a kind person, only when you are able to see the whole life as equal heart where every life every drop is all equal water and then kindness heart will start to truly appear.

Because each drop is the same water, each life is same ability to aware we looking for happiness and try to escape from suffering so every life are equal.

And then you start willing to share all your joy to yourself because you as well are equal to others, and if you can’t create joy for yourself, you can’t create it for others if you are being bitter suffering self, or you can share is that bitter suffering self.

Most common mistake is we blame everything on the whole world onyo everybody, and put the responsibility on them for every situation but we forgot we have the power to change the situation we have power to observe and reguiding the whole situation, for that actually all the responsibility is in each individual.

Each drop, if it is not blind then he will be able to choose to have harmony heart, to harmony with every other drop and harmony itself is joy, it is peaceful and joy and harmony give you a free heart to observing all other possibilities when you narrow yourself into one direction you will not be able to see the other possibilities but when you are harmony with everything and give your heart a rest to observe and see all other possibilities then you will realise, oh, unlimited potential suddenly all appear many other other angles you haven’t seen, and when you saw them, then you find new opportunity, and then you become the creator, and you create your own reincarnation, for that reincarnation is no more a blind reincarnation, reincarnation become a free choice, a joyful will, recreated by your own will, your own observation, your own wisdom ability, and that is a subject for you to connect to your entire life, which is our body mind and spirits,

What is our body? Our body is built by four elements, our breathing is the air, our temperature is the fire, most parts of our body are built by liquid water, rest of dfew % left is where the materials form. Joined together as our subject. And when these four are in harmony, health appears.

But that is only physical.

If our minds constantly worry, it will affect this temple. It is like someone who live in a beautiful temple but worry about the whole world so he is not really in paradise, or heaven or a pure land – actually he is living in a hell, a nightmare. But if somebody carry a pure joyful heart and not affected by all the other blindness from friends and family and all the other people you work with people who pass through on the street, anyone you might meet and have a negative impact to you, and none of them, you take serious if you are able to block, have an invisible wall, not let any negative into you, you become a centre to affect back, if not, all negative they bring to you and no matter where you go, you will carry that negative with you.

But if stay sharp and stay free you create positive, then anywhere you go is a temple, everywhere you go is a Pure Land, everywhere you go is wisdom.

To bring no worry mind, and psychology remain pure, joy and free and that will also affect our 4 element temple our body and all these 3 are not even separate, they affect to each other they are 3 different subjects as one. Like you have 5 fingers, but still one hand. And one hand you can’t separate those 5 fingers. So body mind and spirits we have to aware to develop ability to take care of them and then true health appears and that is also the true way to be kind to yourself.

And then if you are being a true healthy person, in all these 3 angles you are able to being that amazing person and share that amazing character and energy and health with everyone. And that is also the true kind for everyone. So health, wisdom and kindness are all united in this case.

And to do all this, to make it happen, make it all become healthy we need precise and logical training and this training course is to wake up your unlimited course, your mind out of worry and become no worries be happy! Singing…

And then make your psychology care free – it doesn’t mean you don’t care, you just care in free style, you care in a wise way not in a worry way, in a constantly useless way, except make suffering for yourself. So you are able to enjoy to care in a logical calculation and to make your physical back to healthy and harmony and out of fear of illness aging and then to find your spirits which is your true essence.

Your essence is not this body, if somebody live in the temple that person is definitely not the temple. So your true spirits live in the temple, this four element body. So one day your four element body will get old, ageing and doesn’t mean your true self ages. Because your true self is not this temple, it is connected to this temple. In fact your spirits is your wisdom creation ability. So only when you start to create wise lifestyle your true self shine and grow and develop finally eternal force appears.

Consciousness has this ability, to take care of four element temple. To be free from the worry to make all the psychology stress disappear, consciousness the essence and our consciousness is not just our mind. There are 8 consciousness, each one has different function, but as 5 fingers still one hand, 8 consciousness still one heart. So your true self is your true heart. But the 8 consciousness heart.

What are those 8 consciousness hearts?

Eyes  
Ears  
Nose  
Tongue  
Physical body (touch)

Eyes to see  
Ears to hear  
Nose to smell  
Tongue to taste  
Body to touch

Those experiences are the first 5 consciousness. They have different functions but all still can connect to each other.

When you drive past a radio station you know there can be music to hear. When you hear you can then imagine what kind of voice and who is the singer you can guess and imagine the singer from memory what they look like, they have all kind of connection to each other and they are all connected to your six consciousness thinking.

Each information from your 5 consciousness can become ideas in your consciousness and become a memory. And then all this ideas are all come from numbers 7 consciousness, which is your I feeling. You feel you are the one doing the seeing, listening, smelling, tasting, experience the touching and thinking. I feel I am not others. My feeling through this I is not from others. It is called I consciousness which is number 7.

And all of this I from the day before you are born exists. And you out of this lifetime you will back to your original I. Original I is not this one temporary this lifetime I. Original I is called hidden consciousness. Number 8, which is your true hidden deep ability. And all this 8 consciousness is your true self. Your spirits. We will continue in a further course to make all 8 consciousness awakened in a joyful way, in a healthy way in a wise way. Ina kindness way to enjoy every part of the positive ideas of life and to also develop have true activity to make each part can be trained can be acted can be reacted can be shared, can be in a daily life.

We will provide you more interesting, exciting and easy exercises such as chair exercises. Chair we sit down all the time and create so much suffering, a lot of people have back pain and a lot of people have bad posture, so because we need, or we used to, sit down too much in the chair, especially in a modern day. Information fly at light speed everywhere to us. It is like there is a black hole of curiosity suddenly opened up, you can goto youtube, facebook, tv, movie, instagram, or call phone all day long, non stop, so much information, and that make us have no time to absorb what is going on. Just being, what’s going on, but don’t know, what’s going on, that s called blind action.

Blind action create blind suffering, so we can change this habit, from blind action sit down too long to use this chair as a treasure tool and we going to teach you how to sit down in a chair, use it to correct your posture, correct your tension, calm down your mind, make your heart free into joy and we will follow to offer you another incredible exercise, lie down exercises.

Nothing easier right?

But that’s wrong, when you lie down, gravity pull you down, so all your body crash together. Many times when you lie down for too long you get up and find your body aches? Tired and tense? You don’t want to get up but you have to because job is waiting for you! Kids crying? All kinds of things you worry have to be done! So you get up with a suffering body.

And why is it a suffering body? Because you have been blindly lying with your posture and gravity pull your posture create a shrinking effect, all your ligaments, muscles and tendons become tight and then shrunk together and then they day after night, night after day, they become tighter and tighter, finally your posture become so bad, what does it mean freedom to move your body anymore!

Suddenly you realise you shrunk a few cm in a few years since you haven’t measured. So you measure again, well you just say “oh it’s age?” But it’s not about age, it’s about GRAVITY and blindness acting. And lie down if you do it right, you will not against gravity if you know how to lie down to exercise you will learning how to properly use gravity.

So all these exciting programs we will continue to offer you and today we have a few simple actions from chair exercises so after this short video information please continue to watch and enjoy these simple exercises and benefit your life and make you able to go back to your caring heart and take care of yourself.

You want to take care of others, somebody you love, well don’t be so ambitious, start with yourself. Remember you can’t swim yourself you can’t save people from drowning. We truly want to have a caring heart being a caring person, we learn step by step first to take care of ourselves.

Chair exercises are simple, continuing action going to give you an amazing foundation.

Thank you for your amazing enjoyment.

### Suffering note
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/suffering-note/
Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:30:59.000Z
Found this explanation of suffering as a note in my phone. So clear and detailed. We talked about suffering and the four noble truths in class last night so it was really nice to read this first thing this morning. So clear, so complete, so awesome 🙏🏼😊🕉☯☸🙂What is the Buddhist idea of suffering? Suffering basically comes from going against the truth of life. Life contains three basic truths, which are called Three Eternal Dharma Truths.

The first Truth is: All the existing form of Dharma (the mysterious power of life) is constantly changing. No eternity.

The second Truth is: All the existing forms of Dharma come from combinations of the other forms. So all the individual forms just appear to have individual forms. Truly they have no individuality. No individual form.

The third Truth is: The essence of Dharma has no form. Therefore it always remains calm and unlimited. This is Nirvana–no beginning, no end.

How do people go against these three eternal truths and create suffering?

First, we suffer because we try to hold onto something that cannot be held. The first eternal Truth says that everything is constantly changing. Therefore, one can hold on to nothing. But when our consciousness is greedy we try to possess the things we are aware of. In addition to outside material things we have acquired in life, we try to hold onto our physical bodies. This, of course, is not possible. Because we insist on trying to achieve the impossible, we feel lost and insecure. To be aware we cannot hold onto even our physical being makes us afraid. This fear is one kind of suffering.

A second way that we suffer is through our belief in having an “Individual I.” In reality all individual forms come from a combination of constantly changing and moving speed and remain a combination of constantly changing and moving speed. But the feeling of our having an individual I contradicts the second Truth. Once we look at life from the perspective of an individual I, then we feel distance from everything and we try to protect this sense of individual I. When our individual I feels attacked we respond by becoming angry and hateful. These, too, are kinds of suffering.

A third way we suffer is through our ignorance of the Truth of Life. The essence of life has no form. This means that our awareness is unlimited. Because we are not aware of this truth, this limitation is called Ignorance or Blindness. All suffering comes from this ignorance. When we can truly be aware that our essence is unlimited, then we will no longer be locked into our limited awareness. Blindness awareness creates all kinds of limitations, which cause the deep insecurities and create all other kinds of suffering.

The suffering that we experience as human beings comes through four basic paths, through our physical sense, our desire, our emotion, and our intellectual sense.

Here’s a philosophy development map GD and I wrote out leading up to our first ever practical wisdom Wednesday class. We were so nervous that we wanted to write a syllabus out to make sure we had something to revert back to if / when our brains froze up.

Really interesting to reread it now after having taught and learnt so much more since then 😊🤙🏼

Consciousness awakening requirements!  
What is Dharma.  
1 life is cause and effect! Everything is caused, and everything can be effected!  
Blindness-defined, explained etc…,  
2 we create our own suffering by not understanding cause and effect-  
\-intention thinking speaking and action is how we involve in cause and effect.  
\-4 aspects to Causation.  
A) Types of suffering, desire, physical, emotional, thinking.  
\-4 noble truths to break the habits that cause suffering.  
B) Chakra energies. 7 chakras.  
3\. Our bodies are 4 eternal elements!  
4 Our bodies, the space and surroundings is made up of the same essence. illusion being.  
5\. The illusion is constantly changing. Appears, builds, destroys disappears  
6\. Life forms are born, grow, age/illness, death!  
A) Definition of health. ??? Awareness ability/awareness boundary, influences the body’s changing.  
7\. Life forms are not simply their bodies, they have consciousness power to be aware of space and surroundings!  
8\. Senses are aware of information. Eyes ears etc.  
A) 4 devils. 3 poison consciousness.  
B) Intention, thinking, speaking and action.  
9\. 3 eternal dharma truths.  
A) Karma. Definition and types of.  
10\. Definition of ‘I’.  
11\. Definition of true ‘I’.  
12\. 4 eternal hearts.  
13\. 6 bodhisattva characters. Definitions of each.  
14\. 5 developments.  
15\. Definitions of meditation.  
Moving meditation, explain Chi gong, tai chi philosophy.  
sitting meditation- Lifestyle meditation.  
16\. One heart 2 gates. Searching comparing vs appreciation heart, observing heart.  
17\. Tao. The goal is in the present and the present is the goal!  
18\. emptiness.  
19\. hold nothing. Amitabha system. Pure land system.  
20\. Hell Bodhisatva system. karma releasing system.  
Observing life sound system.  
Consciousness – 3 levels – Thinking, sub, hidden  
5 levels to create a pure land  
Nirvana, define what the goal is  
Energy  
Empty space  
Define current reality – normal vs. not normal  
Fake Vain  
Contradiction – see how blindness muddy’s the clear intention thinking speaking action etc. and scatters the consciousnesses  
Assumption – Why did we stop asking why?  
sincere heart  
defining a Will – It’s our own free will to be free from suffering as we actually create it for ourselves.  
might even help to define what they are aware of – their current life situation/existence. To paint their current picture so they can relate?

Life is a system – essence, function and goal.  
How to be free to create vs. trapped in fear and worry. Pure creation is how true joy appears.  
Love vs true love, as they are here to learn emotion but don’t even really know pure emotion.  
Ability – You are what you practice developing in every present as your awareness ability  
10 boundaries, what keeps us at our level

And 10 wisdom trust
### Whatever can be created is illusion

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:58.000Z
Everything that can be created is illusion.

Examples before  
– painter and painting  
– white screen and movie

Not just illusion, but our body also.

Bodhisattva Ability already in us

When I couldn’t sleep in the motel I was aware a new meditation.

All the abilities are already in us, we just haven’t opened them up yet.

Like a lotus seed is so small, but the ability to grow many big beautiful flowers and become a garden are all there, you can’t see them from the seed, but it’s there. You just haven’t made it grow yet. So Bodhisattva ability already in us. Free from lost by illusion, free from searching for/stuck in essence/emptiness feeling. Free from both. Able to enjoy illusion

We haven’t made seed grow yet.

Monk want to reach and stay in empty. Nirvana for them is reaching that empty. Ah, escape feeling. Not connected to everything. So the only way they can feel essence is not connect to everything. First stage, turn off the lights at the movie you see white screen – Rohan. High level is realise, oh, don’t have to turn off the light, I know the white screen is there. I know the light is illusion, take both very light, easy.

Bodhisattva go further, not stuck in empty, able to enjoy illusion.

That is just a general description – even for Sifu, he sees for that to become an ability he has no clue.

He has experienced many times, but not able to into it anytime he wants. Because if he had that kind of ability to anytime you want free, he is already Bodhisattva. That is true freedom. Then unlimited joy will appear. Enjoy all the illusion, but no suffering from it.

There essence so pure can be aware of 100 million universes full of planets and every lifetime that is how free. Connect or not connect, not force anyone. Aware of us, but not connected.

Like Observing Life Sound Bodhisattva aware of us but not guide/support your life unless you ask for his help.

Like if I offer you advice when you don’t ask sometimes you get annoyed, or some characters like it.

Bodhisattva create mantra system for you to know there is a system to connect to them. Not go looking to connect, force anyone, anything.

The mantra is for you to show your willing heart. Give you a button to touch it, but only work if you are sincere.

Sincere heart is not easy, because sincere heart come from true understanding. And understanding create true trust. True understanding and true heart make your heart really open . Sincere heart create a positive loop for your life – experience, trust, deeper, sincere deeper, etc – circle system.

Blind belief create a negative circle.

Summary

Whatever can be created is illusion.

Because our body can be created, all these trees can be created, whole universe can be created, they are like movie, like dream, have to be illusion.

Another way to understand life is illusion.

Sequence.

1\. Observe all the form, aware constantly changing illusion – nature, our body, thinking, feeling, trees, anything.  
2\. Observe, the power to observe the first illusion, our essence, is also illusion. (Like view life, then out of body, then back to body, see life differently.) Sky eyes, essence ability so light and pure and free can aware much more than regular material.

Example  
First illusion. Observe this body is me.  
Second Illusion – everything I see is real.

Realise whatever we experience is far away from essence ability, far away from potential freedom what we can truly be aware of. But I’m not steady in that power. Sometimes easy in and out!

Back to Essence System Training

Back to the present with joy.

1\. Red Bull – Dragon Breathe, Tai Chi – Red Bull  
2\. Michelle – Needles, yoga, listen to mantra  
3\. Zen Tim – Needles, Tai Chi, mantra, listen philosophy, nature, Waterfall, cliffs

The heart complete awaken see through illusion and realize nothing to hold.

That heart will always remain free, free for themselves and free to help every life. **Otherwise it’s not completely free.**

The heart have no fear and reach complete nirvana.

The eternal wisdom is eternal, blindness is temporary. So our eternal wisdom is home.

See through illusion, no more blindness, awaken become Buddha.

See through all illusion will surely have compassion and will surely become Buddha.

# Amazing Resting Heart

True heart aware of we are trapped in the power of constantly changing, and constantly try to hold those changing.

Like a donkey with a carrot dangling in front of it, try to run forward to bite the carrot, eventually donkey finally realize it can never get carrot and lie down to have a rest from chasing .

Then the stick falls and the carrot appears to be eaten.

**Wisdom is not try to get, but it’s resting our heart to observe without greed, then truth appears.**

Heart can only be free by out of greed, out of want to get. Then freedom appears, becoming pure; observation, creation, sharing, generosity heart, eventually graduates as 4-eternal heart.

This wisdom will not work if you are only aware once. Bodhisattva true heart remain in this awaken zone, no beginning no end.

# Three stage of awareness.

## Level 1 –  
Aware what we are aware of, which is awareness.

Conscious of what we are conscious of, take it as consciousness.

Observe what we are observing of, think that is the observer.

## Level 2 –  
Aware of what we are aware of is not awareness.

What we are conscious of is not consciousness.

Observe what we observe is not the observer.

## Level 3 –  
Aware what we are aware of, both are one.

Conscious of what we are conscious of, both are empty.

Observe what we are observe of, both are illusion.

Consciousness creates blindness.  
Consciousness isn’t blindness.  
Consciousness is unlimited joy.

Be aware of this unlimited essence, be aware that it is not all the blindness.

The more you try to be aware of your essence and that all the illusion is just illusion.

The more your sky eye and sky heart can open.

# True kindness meditation

True kind to self first.

True kind to be aware of the eternal truth. Not try to be aware.

Eternal truth is eternal kind, truth is eternally patient there waiting for you to be aware of it for that reason it is eternally kind.

Essence is always pure, always able to help you, if you are aware of it, it can help you be free from all the pollution and suffering. That is the eternal kindness force.

Changing, comes from others no self, because it’s illusion and constantly changing its changeable, allowing you to change the illusion. Providing you with eternal chance to develop wise choice ability in every present.

Because of this the eternal truth of life is eternal kind.

Take time to be aware of the eternal truth of life is eternal kind to yourself.

This wisdom will naturally help you to develop the other three eternal hearts.

Observing Self-Being.

Foundation of Observing?

Harmony.

- Life is never about I and mine, you never own anything in the Earth, it keeps changing, stays empty and illusion like a dream. Even your body you cannot hold.
- **To be awakened,** **is not about** **to reach somewhere,** **it is not to have to** **reach anywhere** **.**

# Sutra of the Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva

## Chapter One

## Spiritual Penetrations in the Palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven

Thus I have heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Trayastrimsa Heaven speaking Dharma for his mother. At that time, an uncountable number of Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas from infinite worlds in the Ten Directions assembled to praise how Shakyamuni Buddha is able to manifest powerfully great wisdom and spiritual penetrations in the evil world of the Five Turbidities.

They praised how he regulates and subdues obstinate beings so they learn what causes suffering and what brings bliss. Each sent his attendants to pay their respects to the World Honored One.

At that time the Thus Come One smiled and emitted billions of great light clouds. There was a light cloud of great fullness, a light cloud of great compassion, a light cloud of great wisdom, a light cloud of great prajña, a light cloud of great samádhi, a light cloud of great auspiciousness, a light cloud of great blessings, a light cloud of great merit, a light cloud of great refuge, and a light cloud of great praise.

After emitting indescribably many light clouds, he also uttered many wonderful, subtle sounds. There was the sound of Dana paramita, the sound of shila paramita, the sound of kshanti paramita, the sound of virya paramita, the sound of Dhyana paramita, and the sound of prajña paramita. There was the sound of compassion, the sound of joyous giving, the sound of liberation, the sound of no-outflows, the sound of wisdom, the sound of great wisdom, the sound of the Lion’s roar, the sound of the Great Lion’s roar, the sound of thunderclouds, and the sound of great thunderclouds.

After he uttered indescribably many sounds, countless millions of gods, dragons, ghosts, and spirits from the Saha and other worlds also gathered in the Palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven. They came from the Heaven of the Four Kings, the Trayastrimsa Heaven, the Suyama Heaven, the Tushita Heaven, the Blissful Transformations Heaven, and the Heaven of Comfort Gained Through Others’ Transformations. They came from the Heaven of the Multitudes of Brahma, the Heaven of the Ministers of Brahma, the Heaven of the Great Brahma Lord, the Heaven of Lesser Light, the Heaven of Limitless Light, the Heaven of Light Sound, the Heaven of Lesser Purity, the Heaven of Limitless Purity, and the Heaven of Universal Purity. They came from the Birth of Blessings Heaven, the Love of Blessings Heaven, the Abundant Fruit Heaven, the No Thought Heaven, the No Affliction Heaven, the No Heat Heaven, the Good Views Heaven, the Good Manifestation Heaven, the Ultimate Form Heaven, the Maheshvara Heaven, and so forth, to the Heaven of the Station of Neither Thought Nor Non-Thought. All those groups of gods, dragons, ghosts and spirits came and gathered together.

Moreover, sea spirits, river spirits, stream spirits, tree spirits, mountain spirits, earth spirits, brook and marsh spirits, sprout and seedling spirits, day, night, and space spirits, heaven spirits, food and drink spirits, grass and wood spirits, and other such spirits from the Saha and other worlds came and gathered together.

In addition, all the great Ghost Kings from the Saha and other worlds came and gathered together. They were: the Ghost King Evil Eyes, the Ghost King Blood-drinker, the Ghost King Essence and Energy-eater, the Ghost King Fetus and Egg-eater, the Ghost King Spreader of Sickness, the Ghost King Collector of Poisons, the Ghost King Kind-hearted, the Ghost King Blessings and Benefits, the Ghost King Great Regard and Respect, and others.

At that time, Shakyamuni Buddha said to the Dharma Prince, Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, Manjushri, “As you regard these Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, dragons, ghosts and spirits from this land and other lands who are now gathered in the Trayastrimsa Heaven, do you know their number?”

Manjushri said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, even if I were to measure and reckon with my spiritual powers for a thousand eons I would not be able to know their number.”

The Buddha told Manjushri, “Regarding them with my Buddha Eye, I also cannot count them all. Those beings have been taken across, are being taken across, will be taken across, have been brought to accomplishment, are being brought to accomplishment, or will be brought to accomplishment by Earth Store Bodhisattva, throughout many eons.”

Manjushri said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, throughout many eons I have cultivated good roots and my wisdom was certified as unobstructed. When I hear what the Buddha says, I immediately accept it with faith.

But Sound-hearers of small attainment, gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division, and beings in the future who hear the Thus Come One’s true and sincere words will certainly harbor doubts.

Even if they receive the teaching most respectfully, they will still be unable to avoid slandering it.

My only wish is that the World Honored One will proclaim for everyone what practices Earth Store Bodhisattva did. Tell us what vows he made while on the level of planting causes that now enable him to succeed in doing such inconceivable deeds.”

The Buddha said to Manjushri, “By way of analogy suppose that each blade of grass, tree, forest, rice plant, hemp stalk, bamboo, reed, mountain, rock and mote of dust in a Three Thousand Great Thousand-World System were a Ganges River.

Then suppose that each grain of sand in each of those Ganges Rivers were a world and that each mote of dust in each of those worlds were an eon. Then suppose each mote of dust accumulated in each of those eons were itself an eon. The time elapsed since Earth Store Bodhisattva was certified to the position of the Tenth Ground is a thousand times longer than that in the above analogy. Even longer was the time he dwelled on the levels of Sound-hearer and Pratyekabuddha.

Manjushri, the awesome spiritual strength and vows of this Bodhisattva are inconceivable.

If good men or women in the future hear this Bodhisattva’s name, praise him, behold and bow to him, call his name, make offerings to him, or if they draw, carve, cast, sculpt or make lacquered images of him, such people will be reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three one hundred times and will never fall into the Evil Paths.

“Manjushri, indescribably many eons ago, during the time of a Buddha named Lion Sprint Complete in the Ten Thousand Practices Thus Come One, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva was the son of a great Elder. That Elder’s son, upon observing the Buddha’s hallmarks and fine features and how the thousand blessings adorned him, asked that Buddha what practices and vows made him so magnificent. Lion Sprint Complete in the Ten Thousand Practices Thus Come One then said to the Elder’s son, ‘If you wish to have a body like mine, you must first spend a long time liberating beings who are undergoing suffering.’

“Manjushri, that comment caused the Elder’s son to make a vow:

‘From now until the ends of future time throughout uncountable eons I will use expansive expedient means to help beings in the Six Paths who are suffering for their offenses. Only when they have all been liberated, will I myself become a Buddha.’

From the time he made that great vow in the presence of that Buddha until now, hundreds of thousands of Nayutas of inexpressibly many eons have passed and still he is a Bodhisattva.

“Another time, inconceivable Asamkhyeya eons ago there was

a Buddha named Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King

Thus Come One. That Buddha’s lifespan was four hundred billion Asamkhyeya eons.

During his Dharma-Image Age, there lived a Brahman woman endowed with ample blessings from previous lives who was respected by everyone. Whether she was walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, gods surrounded and protected her.

Her mother, however, embraced a deviant faith and often slighted the Triple Jewel.

“Her worthy daughter made use of many expedients in trying to convince her mother to hold right views, but her mother never totally believed.

Before long the mother’s life ended and her consciousness fell into the Relentless Hell.

When that happened, the Brahman woman, knowing that her mother had not believed in cause and effect while alive, feared that her karma would certainly pull her into the Evil Paths.

For that reason, she sold the family house and acquired many kinds of incense, flowers, and other gifts. With those she performed a great offering in that Buddha’s stupas and monasteries.

She saw an especially fine image of the Thus Come One Enlightenment Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King in one of the monasteries.

As the Brahman woman beheld the honored countenance she became doubly respectful while thinking to herself, ‘Buddhas are called Greatly Enlightened Ones who have gained All-Wisdom. If this Buddha were in the world I could ask him where my mother went after she died. He would certainly know.’

“The Brahman woman then wept for a long time as she gazed longingly upon the Thus Come One.

Suddenly a voice in the air said, ‘O weeping, worthy woman, do not be so sorrowful. I shall now show you where your mother has gone.’

“The Brahman woman placed her palms together as she addressed space saying, ‘Which Virtuous Divinity is comforting me in my grief?

From the day I lost my mother onward I have held her in memory day and night, but there is nowhere I can go to ask about the realm of her rebirth.’

“The voice in the air spoke to the woman again, ‘I am the one you behold and worship, the former Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King Thus Come One. Because I have seen your regard for your mother is double that of ordinary beings, I have come to show you where she is.’

“The Brahman woman suddenly lunged toward the voice she was hearing and then fell, injuring herself severely. Those around her supported and attended upon her and after a long time she was revived.

Then she addressed the air saying, ‘I hope the Buddha will be compassionate and quickly tell me into what realm my mother has been reborn. I am now near death myself.’

“Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King Thus Come One told the worthy woman, ‘after you make your offerings, return home quickly.

Sit upright and concentrate on my name. You will soon know where your mother has been reborn.’

The Brahman woman bowed to the Buddha and returned home.

The memory of her mother sustained her as she sat upright recollecting Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King Thus Come One.

“After doing so for a day and night, she suddenly saw herself beside a sea whose waters seethed and bubbled. Many evil beasts with iron bodies flew swiftly back and forth above the sea.

She saw hundreds of thousands of men and women bobbing up and down in the sea, being fought over, seized, and eaten by the evil beasts.

She saw Yakshas with different shapes. Some had many hands, some many eyes, some many legs, some many heads. With their sharp fangs they drove the offenders on towards the evil beasts. Or the Yakshas themselves seized the offenders and twisted their heads and feet together into shapes so horrible that no one would dare even look at them for long.

“During that time the Brahman woman was naturally without fear due to the power of recollecting the Buddha.

A Ghost King named Poison-less bowed his head in greeting and said to the worthy woman, ‘Welcome, O Bodhisattva. What conditions bring you here?’

“The Brahman woman asked the Ghost King, ‘What is this place?’

“Poison-less replied, ‘we are on the western side of the Great Iron Ring Mountain and this is the first of the seas that encircle it.

“The worthy woman said, ‘I have heard that the hells are within the Iron Ring. Is that actually so?’

“Poison-less answered, ‘Yes, the hells are here.’

“The worthy woman asked, ‘How have I now come to the hells?’

“Poison-less answered, ‘If it wasn’t awesome spiritual strength that brought you here, then it was the power of karma. Those are the only two ways anyone comes here.

The worthy woman asked, ‘Why is this water seething and bubbling, and why are there so many offenders and evil beasts?’

“Poison-less replied, ‘these are beings of Jambudvipa who did evil deeds.

They have just died and passed through forty-nine days without any surviving relatives doing any meritorious deeds on their behalf to rescue them from their distress.

Besides that, during their lives they themselves didn’t plant any good causes. Now their own karma calls forth these hells. Their first task is to cross this sea.

Ten thousand yojanas east of this sea is another sea in which they will undergo twice as much suffering. East of that sea is yet another sea where the sufferings are doubled still again.

What the combined evil causes of the three karmic vehicles evoke is called the sea of karma. This is that place.’

“The worthy woman asked the Ghost King Poison-less, ‘Where are the hells?’

“Poison-less answered, ‘within the three seas are hundreds of thousands of great hells, each one different. Eighteen of those are known as the great hells. Five hundred subsequent ones inflict limitless cruel sufferings.

Following those are hundreds of thousands that inflict limitless further sufferings.’

“The worthy woman again questioned the great Ghost King, ‘My mother died recently and I do not know where she has gone.’

“The Ghost King asked the worthy woman, ‘When the Bodhisattva’s mother was alive, what habits did she have?”

The worthy woman replied, ‘my mother held deviant views and ridiculed and slandered the Triple Jewel. Even if she occasionally believed, she would soon become disrespectful again. She died recently and I still do not know where she was reborn.’

“Poison-less asked, ‘What was the Bodhisattva’s mother’s name and clan?’

“The worthy woman replied, ‘my parents were both Brahmans; my father’s name was Shila Sudarshana, my mother’s name was Yue Di Li.’

“Poison-less placed his palms together and implored the worthy woman, ‘Please, Worthy One, quickly return home. There is no need for you to grieve further. The offender Yue Di Li was born in the heavens three days ago.

It is said that she received the benefit of offerings made and blessings cultivated by her filial child who practiced giving to Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi Self-Mastery King Thus Come One at stupas and monasteries.

Not only was the Bodhisattva’s mother released from the hells. All the other offenders who were destined for the Relentless Hell received bliss and were reborn together with her.’

Having finished speaking, the Ghost King put his palms together and withdrew.

“The Brahman woman returned swiftly as if from a dream, understood what had happened, and then made a profound and far-reaching vow before the stupas and images of Enlightenment-Flower Samadhi

Self-Mastery King Thus Come One, saying, ‘I vow that until the end of future eons I will respond to beings suffering for their offenses by using many expedient means to bring about their liberation.'”

The Buddha told Manjushri, “The Ghost King Poison-less is the present Bodhisattva Foremost Wealth. The Brahman woman is now Earth Store Bodhisattva.”

## Chapter Two

## The Division Bodies Gather

At that time the division bodies of Earth Store Bodhisattva began gathering in the Palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven from billions of inexpressible, unutterable, immeasurable, ineffable, limitless Asamkhyeyas of worlds. They came from wherever hells were found.

Due to the spiritual powers of the Thus Come One, each came from his own direction and was joined by billions of Nayutas of those who had obtained liberation from the force of bad karma.

All came holding incense and flowers as offerings to the Buddha.

Those groups that came were irreversible from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi because they had been taught and transformed by Earth Store Bodhisattva.

For long eons they had wandered in birth and death, undergoing suffering within the Six Paths without even temporary respite.

Now they had reached levels of Sage-hood due to the great compassion and deep vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva.

They felt joyful as they arrived at the Trayastrimsa Heaven and gazed at the Thus Come One, their eyes not leaving him for a moment.

At that time, the World Honored One stretched forth his golden-colored arm and rubbed the crowns of all the division bodies of Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, gathered from billions of inexpressible, inconceivable, immeasurable, ineffable, limitless Asamkhyeyas of worlds, and said,

“I teach and transform obstinate beings such as these within the evil worlds of the Five Turbidities, causing their minds to be regulated and subdued so they renounce the deviant and return to the proper.

But one or two of ten still cling to their bad habits. For them I again divide into billions of bodies and use numerous additional expedient means.

Those with keen roots will listen and immediately believe. Those with good rewards will respond to exhortation and strive to succeed. Those who are dark and dull will return only after being taught for a long time.

Those whose karma is heavy fail to show any respect. My division bodies take across and liberate all those different kinds of beings. I may appear in a male body. I may appear in a female body. I may appear in the body of a god or dragon. I may appear in the body of a spirit or ghost. I may appear as a mountain, as a forest, as a stream, as a spring, as a river, as a lake, as a fountain, or as a well in order to benefit people. I use all these ways to save beings. I may appear in the body of God Shakra. I may appear in the body of Lord Brahma. I may appear in the body of a Wheel-Turning King. I may appear in the body of a layperson. I may appear in the body of a national leader. I may appear in the body of a prime minister. I may appear in the body of an official.

I may appear in the body of a Bhikshu, a Bhikshuni, an Upasaka, an Upasika, and so forth to my appearing in the body of a Sound-Hearer, an Arhat, a Pratyekabuddha, or a Bodhisattva in order to teach and rescue beings.

It is not that I only appear to them in the body of a Buddha.

“Reflect on how I have toiled for repeated eons and endured acute suffering to take across and free stubborn beings who resist being taught and who continue to suffer for their offenses.

Those not yet subdued undergo retributions according to their karma. If they fall into the evil destinies and are enduring tremendous suffering, then you should remember the gravity of this entrustment I am now giving you here in the palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven: Find ways to liberate all beings in the Saha world from now until the time when Maitreya comes into the world. Help them escape suffering forever, encounter Buddhas, and receive predictions.”

At that time all the division bodies of Earth Store Bodhisattva that came from all those worlds merged into single form.

Then he wept and said to the Buddha, “Throughout long eons I have been receiving the Buddha’s guidance and from that have developed inconceivable spiritual power and great wisdom.

My division bodies fill worlds as many as grains of sand in billions of Ganges Rivers. In each of those worlds, I transform myself into billions of bodies.

Each body takes across billions of people, helping them to return respectfully to the Triple Jewel, escape birth and death forever, and reach the bliss of Nirvana.

Even if their good deeds within the Buddha dharma amount to as little as a strand of hair, a drop of water, a grain of sand, or a mote of dust, I will gradually take them across, liberate them, and help them gain great benefit.

I only hope that the World Honored One will not be concerned about beings of the future who have bad karma.

“In that way he addressed the Buddha three times: “I only hope that the World Honored One will not be concerned about beings of the future who have bad karma.”

At that time the Buddha praised Earth Store Bodhisattva and said, “Excellent! Excellent! I will help you in this work you so willingly undertake.

When the vast vows that you keep making throughout so many eons are fulfilled and all those beings have been saved, then I will certify your ultimate Bodhi.”

## Chapter Three

## Contemplating the Karmic Conditions of Beings

At that time the Buddha’s mother, Lady Maya, placed her palms together respectfully and asked Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Great Sage, could you tell us about the different kinds of karma that beings of Jambudvipa create and the resulting retributions that they undergo?”

Earth Store replied, “There are millions of worlds and lands that may or may not have women, may or may not have hells, may or may not have Buddha dharma, and so forth to having or not having Sound-Hearers and Pratyekabuddhas. Since the worlds differ, the retributions in the hells also differ.”

Lady Maya spoke again to the Bodhisattva, “Could you please tell us about the offenses done by those in Jambudvipa that result in retributions in the evil destinies?”

Earth Store replied, “Worthy Mother, please listen as I speak briefly about that.”

The Buddha’s mother answered, “Great Sage, please tell us about it.”

Then Earth Store Bodhisattva said to the Worthy Mother, “Retributions that result from offenses done in Jambudvipa are described like this.

Beings who are not filial to their parents, even to the extent of harming or killing them, will fall into the Relentless Hell where for billions of eons they will seek escape in vain.

“Beings who shed the Buddha’s blood, slander the Triple Jewel, and do not venerate Sutras will fall into the Relentless Hell where for billions of eons they will seek escape in vain.

“Beings who usurp or damage the property of the Eternally Dwelling, who defile Bhikshus or Bhiksunis, who commit sexual acts within the Sangharama, or who kill or harm beings there will fall into the Relentless Hell where for billions of eons they will seek escape in vain.

“Beings who seem to be Shramanas but in their minds are not Shramanas, who destroy the things of the Eternally Dwelling, who deceive lay people, who go against the precepts, and who do many other evil deeds will fall into the Relentless Hell where for billions of eons they will seek escape in vain.

“Beings who steal the wealth and property of the Eternally Dwelling, including its grains, its food and drink, its clothing, or take anything at all that was not given to them will fall into the Relentless Hell where for billions of eons they will seek escape in vain.”

Earth Store continued, “Worthy Mother, beings who commit such offenses will fall into the Fivefold Relentless Hell where they will constantly seek for temporary relief from their suffering but will never receive even a moment’s respite.”

Lady Maya further asked Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Why is that hell called Relentless?”

Earth Store replied, “Worthy Mother, the hells are all within the Great Iron Ring Mountain. The eighteen great hells and the five hundred subsequent ones each have their own names. There are hundreds of thousands more that also have their own names.

The Relentless Hell is found within a city of hells that encompasses more than eighty thousand square miles. That city is made entirely of iron. Ten thousand miles above the city is an unbroken mass of fire. Within the city are many interconnected hells, each with a different name.

There is just one hell called Relentless. Its circumference is eighteen thousand miles. The wall of that hell is a thousand miles high, totally made iron, and covered with a fire burning downward that is joined by a fire burning upward. Iron snakes and dogs spewing fire race back and forth atop that wall.

“In that hell is a bed that extends for ten thousand miles. One person undergoing punishment sees his or her own body filling the entire bed. When millions of people undergo punishment simultaneously, each still sees his or her own body filling the bed. That is how retributions are undergone by those with the same karma.

“What is more, these offenders undergo extreme suffering. Thousands of Yakshas and other evil ghosts display fangs like swords and eyes like lightning as they pull and drag the offenders using their brass-clawed hands.

Other Yakshas wield huge iron halberds that they use to pierce the offenders’ mouths and noses or stab their bellies and backs.

They toss the offenders into the air and then catch them by skewering them with the halberds or they let them drop onto the bed.

Iron eagles peck at the offenders’ eyes and iron serpents wrap around their necks. Long nails are driven into all their limbs. Their tongues are pulled out, stretched, and then plowed through. Their internal organs are gouged out, sliced, and minced. Molten metal is poured into their mouths, and their bodies are bound with hot iron.

Responses to their karma go on like that throughout thousands of deaths and rebirths. They pass through millions of eons seeking escape in vain.

“When this world is destroyed, they find themselves in another world. When that world is destroyed, they pass to another one.

When that world, too, is destroyed, they move on to another. When this world comes into being again, they return here. The situation involving Relentless retribution for offenses is like that. “Moreover, five karmic responses account for the name Relentless. What are the five? First, it is said to be Relentless since punishment is undergone day and night throughout many eons without ceasing for a moment. Second, it is said to be Relentless since one person fills it in the same way that many people fill it. Third, it is said to be Relentless since repeated punishments continue without cease throughout years that stretch into Nayutas of eons.

Those punishments are inflicted by instruments of torture such as forks and clubs; or by serpents, wolves, and dogs; or by pounding, grinding, sawing, drilling, chiseling, cutting and chopping; or by boiling liquids, iron nets, iron ropes, iron asses, and iron horses; or by raw hide bound around one’s head and hot iron poured over one’s body; or by meals of iron pellets and drinks of iron fluids.

Fourth, it is said to be Relentless since everyone undergoes karmic responses based on the offenses they committed, whether they be men, women, savages, old, young, honorable, or lowly; whether they be dragons, spirits, gods or ghosts.

Fifth, it is said to be Relentless since offenders continually undergo ten thousand deaths and as many rebirths each day and night from the moment they first enter this hell and on through thousands of eons. During that time they seek even a moment’s relief but it never happens. Only when their karma is finished can they attain rebirth.” Earth Store Bodhisattva said to the Worthy Mother, “That is a brief description of the Relentless Hell.

If I were to speak extensively about the names of all the implements of punishment in the hells and all the sufferings there, I could not finish speaking in an entire eon.” After hearing that, Lady Maya placed her palms together sorrowfully, made obeisance, and withdrew.

## Chapter Four

## Karmic Retributions of Beings of Jambudvipa

At that time Earth Store Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, because I receive the awesome spiritual strength of the Buddha, Thus Come One, I am able to divide my body and rescue beings who are undergoing karmic retributions everywhere in billions of worlds.

If it were not for the great compassionate strength of the Thus Come One, I would be unable to perform such changes and transformations.

Now the World Honored One has entrusted me with rescuing and liberating beings in the Six Paths until Ajita becomes a Buddha. I accept the entrustment, World Honored One. Please have no further concern. Then the Buddha told Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Beings who have not yet obtained liberation have unfixed natures and consciousnesses. Their bad habits reap karma; their good habits bring rewards. Reacting to situations by doing good or evil acts causes them to turn in the Five Paths without a moment’s rest. Throughout eons as numerous as motes of dust they remain confused, deluded, obstructed, and afflicted by difficulties. They are like fish swimming through waters laced with nets. They may slip through and keep their freedom temporarily, but sooner or later they will be caught.

I am concerned about such beings. But since you keep making extensive vows repeatedly throughout successive eons to take such offenders across, what further worries need I have?

After that was said, a Bodhisattva, Mahasattva in the assembly named Samadhi Self-Mastery King said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, what vows has Earth Store Bodhisattva made during so many successive eons that he now receives the World Honored One’s special praise?

We hope the World Honored One will tell us about that.”

Then the World Honored One said to Samadhi Self-Mastery King,

“Listen attentively, listen attentively, and reflect well on the examples I am about to give you.

“One time, limitless Asamkhyeyas of Nayutas of inexpressible eons ago, a Buddha named All-Knowledge-Accomplished Thus Come One, One Worthy of Offerings, One of Proper and Pervasive Knowledge, One Perfect in Clarity and Conduct, Well-Gone One, Unsurpassed Knight Who Understands the World, Taming and Subduing Hero, Teacher of Gods and Humans, Buddha, World Honored One appeared in the world.

That Buddha’s lifespan was sixty thousand eons. Before he became a monk, he was the king of a small country and was friendly with the king of a neighboring country. Both of them practiced the Ten Wholesome Acts and benefited beings. Because the citizens of those two neighboring countries did many bad things, the two kings made a plan using far-reaching expedients.

One king vowed to quickly become a Buddha and then cross over absolutely all the others. “The other king vowed, ‘I do not want to become a Buddha until I first take across all those who are suffering for their offenses, enable them to gain peace, and finally to reach Bodhi.'” The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Samadhi Self-Mastery King, “The king who vowed to become a Buddha quickly is All-Knowledge-Accomplished Thus Come One. The king who vowed to keep crossing over beings that are suffering for their offenses rather than to become a Buddha is Earth Store Bodhisattva.

“Another time, limitless Asamkhyeya eons ago, a Buddha named Pure-Lotus-Eyes Thus Come One appeared in the world. His lifespan was forty eons. In his Dharma-image age, an Arhat who had blessings from rescuing beings met a woman named Bright Eyes who offered a meal to him once while he was teaching and transforming beings. “‘What is your wish?’ asked the Arhat. “Bright Eyes replied, ‘on the day of my mother’s death I performed meritorious deeds for her rescue, but I do not know where my mother is now.”

“Sympathizing with her, the Arhat entered into samádhi to contemplate and saw that Bright Eyes’ mother had fallen into a bad destiny where she was undergoing extreme suffering. The Arhat asked, ‘Bright Eyes, what karma did your mother commit while alive that makes her now have to undergo such terrible suffering in a bad destiny?’

“Bright Eyes replied, ‘my mother enjoyed eating fish, turtles, and the like. She especially liked to fry or broil the eggs of fish and turtles. Every time she ate those she took thousands of lives. Oh, Venerable One, please be compassionate and tell me how she can be saved!’

“The Arhat took pity on Bright Eyes and used a skillful means. He urged Bright Eyes, saying, ‘with sincere resolve, be mindful of Pure-Lotus-Eyes Thus Come One and also make carved and painted images of him. By doing so both the living and the dead will be rewarded.’

“Bright Eyes heard that, quickly renounced everything she loved, and swiftly commissioned painted images of the Buddha. Then she made offerings before them. The reverence she felt moved her to tears and she wept in grief as she beheld and bowed to the Buddha. Suddenly near the end of night in a dream she saw that Buddha’s body, dazzling gold in color and as large as Mount Sumeru, emitting great light. “He said to Bright Eyes, ‘Your mother will be born in your household before long and as soon as that child can feel hunger and cold he will speak.’

“Shortly thereafter a maidservant in the house bore a son who spoke before he was three days’ old. Lowering his head and weeping he said to Bright Eyes, ‘the karmic conditions we create during our lives and deaths result in retributions that we ourselves must undergo.

I am your mother and have been in darkness for a long time. Since you and I parted, I have repeatedly fallen into the great hells. Upon receiving the power of your blessings, I have been reborn as a servant’s child with a short lifespan. Thirteen years from now, I will fall into the Evil Paths again. Do you have some way to free me so that I can avoid them?’

“When Bright Eyes heard those words, she knew without a doubt that they were her mother’s. Choked with sobs, she said to the servant’s child, ‘since you were my mother, you should know your own past offenses. What karma did you create that made you fall into the Evil Paths?’

“The maidservant’s child answered, ‘I am undergoing retribution for two kinds of karma: killing and slandering. Had I not received the blessings you earned to rescue me from difficulty, I would not yet be released from that karma.’

“Bright Eyes asked, ‘What happens in the hells when beings undergo retributions for their offenses?’

“The maidservant’s son answered, ‘I can’t bear to speak of the ways in which beings suffer for their offenses. Even if I lived for a hundred thousand years, I would find it hard to talk about.”

When Bright Eyes heard that she wept bitterly and spoke into the air saying, ‘I vow that my mother will be released from the hells forever. At the end of these thirteen years, she will be finished with her heavy offenses and will not go back to the Evil Paths.

O Buddhas of the Ten Directions, with your compassion and sympathy, please listen to the vast and mighty vow that I am making for the sake of my mother.

If my mother will never again enter the Three Evil Paths, never again be born into low stations, and never again be female, then here before the image of Pure-Lotus-Eyes Thus Come One, I vow that from this day on, throughout billions of eons I will respond to all beings who are undergoing suffering for their offenses in the hells or the Three Evil Paths of any world.

I vow to rescue them from the bad destinies of the hells, hungry ghosts, animals, and the like. Only after beings with such retributions have all become Buddhas will I myself achieve Proper Enlightenment.’

“After making that vow, she clearly heard Pure-Lotus-Eyes Thus Come One say to her, ‘Bright Eyes, your own great compassion and sympathy reaches your mother by this mighty vow that you are making.

My contemplation shows me that after thirteen years your mother will finish with this retribution and will be born a Brahman with a lifespan of one hundred years. After that retribution she will be born in the Land of No Concern with a lifespan of uncountable eons. Later she will realize the fruition of Buddhahood and cross over people and gods numbering as many as sand grains in the Ganges.'”

Shakyamuni Buddha told Samadhi Self-Mastery King, “The Arhat whose blessings helped Bright Eyes then is now Inexhaustible Intention Bodhisattva. The mother of Bright Eyes is now Liberation Bodhisattva. Bright Eyes herself is now Earth Store Bodhisattva. He has been extending his compassion and sympathy like that from distant eons onward by making vows as many as Ganges’s sands, to rescue vast numbers of beings.

“Men and women in the future may fail to do good deeds and only do evil; may not believe in cause and effect; may indulge in sexual misconduct and false speech; may use divisive and harsh speech; and may slander the Great Vehicle. Beings with karma like that should certainly fall into bad destinies.

But if they encounter Good and Wise Advisors who exhort them and lead them quickly to take refuge with Earth Store Bodhisattva, those beings will just as quickly be released from their retributions in the Three Evil Paths.

If those beings are resolved and respectful, if they behold, bow to, and praise the Bodhisattva, and if they make offerings of flowers, incense, clothing, jewels, food and drink to him, they will enjoy supremely wonderful bliss in the heavens for billions of eons.

When their blessings in the heavens end and they are born as people, they will have the potential to be leaders of nations throughout billions of eons who are able to remember all aspects of causes and effects from previous lives.

O, Samadhi Self-Mastery King, Earth Store Bodhisattva has such inconceivably great awesome spiritual power that he uses expansively for the benefit of beings.

All of you Bodhisattvas should remember this Sutra and proclaim and widely spread it.”

Samadhi Self-Mastery King said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, please do not be concerned. We billions of Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas, based on the Buddha’s awesome spiritual strength, will certainly proclaim this Sutra widely throughout Jambudvipa for the benefit of beings.”

Having spoken thus to the World Honored One, Samadhi Self-Mastery King Bodhisattva put his palms together respectfully, bowed, and withdrew.

At that time the Four Heavenly Kings arose from their seats, put their palms together respectfully, and said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, Earth Store Bodhisattva has been making such great vows from distant eons onward.

Why is it that up to now he has not yet finished taking beings across? Why does he continue to renew his vast and mighty vows? Please,

World Honored One, explain that for us.”

The Buddha told the Four Heavenly Kings, “Excellent, excellent. Now to bring benefit to you and to extend that benefit to people and gods of the present and future, I will speak about how Earth Store Bodhisattva uses his compassion and sympathy within the paths of birth and death in Jambudvipa in the Saha world to rescue, take across, and liberate beings who are undergoing suffering for their offenses.

The Four Heavenly Kings replied, “Please, World Honored One, we would like to hear about his work.”

The Buddha told the Four Heavenly Kings, “From distant eons onward to the present, Earth Store Bodhisattva has been taking across and liberating beings. Since his vows are still not finished, he continues with compassion and sympathy to help beings suffering for their offenses in this world. Moreover, he sees the ceaseless tangle of their causes extending on through infinite, future eons. Because of that he renews his vows.

Thus, in this Saha world on the continent of Jambudvipa, this Bodhisattva teaches and transforms beings by means of billions of expedient means.

“Four Heavenly Kings, to killers, Earth Store Bodhisattva says that short life-spans will be the retribution. To robbers he says that poverty and acute suffering will be the retribution. To those who indulge in improper sex he says that rebirth as pigeons or mandarin drakes or ducks will be the retribution. To those who use harsh speech he says that quarrelling families will be the retribution. “To those who slander he says that being tongue-less and having cankerous mouths will be the retribution. To the hateful he says that being ugly and crippled will be the retribution. To the stingy he says that not getting what they seek will be the retribution. To gluttons he says that hunger, thirst and sicknesses of the throat will be the retribution. To hunters he says that a frightening insanity that destroys one’s life will be the retribution. To those who oppose their parents he says that being killed in natural disasters will be the retribution. To arsons that burn mountains and forests he says that trying to take one’s own life in the confusion of insanity will be the retribution. “To cruel parents or step-parents, he says that being flogged in future lives will be the retribution. To those who net and trap animals, he says that being separated from one’s own relatives will be the retribution. To those who slander the Triple Jewel he says that being blind, deaf, or mute will be the retribution. To those who slight the Dharma and regard the teachings with arrogance, he says that remaining in the bad paths forever will be the retribution. To those who destroy or misuse possessions of the Eternally Dwelling he says that revolving in the hells for billions of eons will be the retribution. To those who defile the pure conduct of others and bear false witness against members of the Sangha he says that remaining in the animal realm forever will be the retribution. To those who scald, burn, behead, maim, or otherwise harm beings he says that undergoing repayment in kind will be the retribution. “To those who violate precepts and the regulations of pure eating he says that being born as birds or beasts that must suffer hunger and thirst will be the retribution. To those who make unprincipled and destructive use of things he says that being unable to ever obtain what they seek will be the retribution. To the arrogant and haughty he says that being servile and of low station will be the retribution. To those who use backbiting to cause discord among others he says that being tongue-less or having speech impediments will be the retribution. To those with deviant views he says that being reborn in undeveloped regions will be the retribution. “The bad habits involving body, mouth, and mind karma that beings of Jambudvipa perpetuate, result in hundreds of thousands of retributions like those. I have listed only a few examples here. Since the karma created by beings of Jambudvipa calls forth-different responses, Earth Store Bodhisattva uses hundreds of thousands of expedient means to teach and transform them.

Those beings must first undergo retributions such as those and then fall into the hells, where they pass through eons without being able to escape. You should therefore protect people and protect nations. Do not allow the accumulation of karma to confuse beings.” On hearing that, the Four Heavenly Kings wept in sorrow, placed their palms together, and withdrew.

## Chapter Five

## Names of Hells

At that time Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, Mahasattva said to Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Humane One, for the sake of gods and dragons, those in the Fourfold Assembly, and all other beings of the present and future, please tell us the names of the hells where beings in the Saha world on the continent of Jambudvipa must suffer retributions for offenses they commit.

Please also describe what happens during retributions undergone for evil so that beings in the future Dharma-Ending Age will know what those retributions are.”

Earth Store Bodhisattva replied, “Humane One, based on the awesome spiritual power of the Buddha and relying on your strength, Great Bodhisattva, I will give a general list of the names of hells and describe some of what happens during retributions undergone for offenses and evil deeds.

“Humane One, in Eastern Jambudvipa is mountain range called Iron Ring. The mountain is pitch black because the light of sun and moon do not shine on it. A great hell is located there named Ultimately Relentless. Another hell is called Great Avichi. There is also a hell called Four Horns, a hell called Flying Knives, a hell called Fiery Arrows, a hell called Squeezing Mountains, a hell called Piercing Spears, a hell called Iron Carts, a hell called Iron Beds, a hell called Iron Oxen, a hell called Iron Clothing, a hell called Thousand Blades, a hell called Iron Asses, a hell called Molten Copper, a hell called Embracing Pillar, a hell called Flowing Fire, a hell called Plowing Tongues, a hell called Hacking Heads, a hell called Burning Feet, a hell called Pecking Eyes, a hell called Iron Pellets, a hell called Quarreling, a hell called Iron Ax, and a hell called Massive Hatred.”

Earth Store Bodhisattva said, “Humane One, within the Iron Ring are endless hells like that.

There is also the hell of Crying Out, the hell of Pulling Tongues, the hell of Dung and Urine, the hell of Copper Locks, the hell of Fire Elephants, the hell of Fire Dogs, the hell of Fire Horses, the hell of Fire Oxen, the hell of Fire Mountains, the hell of Fire Rocks, the hell of Fire Beds, the hell of Fire Beams, the hell of Fire Eagles, the hell of Sawing Teeth, the hell of Flaying Skin, the hell of Drinking Blood, the hell of Burning Hands, the hell of Burning Feet, the hell of Hanging Hooks, the hell of Fire Rooms, the hell of Iron Cells, and the hell of Fire Wolves.

“Each of those hells contains lesser hells numbering from one, or two, or three, or four, to hundreds of thousands. Each of those lesser hells has its own name.”

Earth Store Bodhisattva told Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, “Humane One, such are the karmic responses of beings in Jambudvipa who commit evil deeds.

The power of karma is extremely great. It rivals Mount Sumeru in its heights. It surpasses the great oceans in its depth. It obstructs the path leading to Sage-hood.

For that reason, beings should never think that minor bad deeds are unimportant or assume that they do not count as offenses. After death there will be retributions to undergo that cover all those details.

Fathers and sons have the closest relationship, but their roads diverge and each must go his own way. Even if they met, neither would consent to undergo suffering in the other’s place.

Now, based on the awesome spiritual power of the Buddha, I will describe some of the retributions for offenses that take place in the hells. Please, Humane One, listen for a moment to what I am going to say.”

Universal Worthy replied, “I have long known of the retributions that happen in the Three Evil Paths.

My hope in asking the Humane One to describe them is that when beings in the future Dharma Ending Age who are doing evil deeds hear the Humane One’s descriptions they will be moved to take refuge with the Buddha.”

Earth Store said, “Humane One, this is what happens during retributions in the hells.

Offenders may go to a hell in which their tongues are stretched out and plowed through by cattle; or to a hell in which their hearts pulled out and eaten by Yakshas; or to a hell in which their bodies are cooked in cauldrons of boiling liquid; or to a hell in which they are forced to embrace red-hot copper pillars; or to a hell in which they are burned by fire that constantly pursues them; or to a hell in which cold and ice are all-pervasive; or to a hell in which excrement and urine are endless; or to a hell in which flying maces are unavoidable; or to a hell in which fiery spears stab them repeatedly; or to a hell in which they are constantly beaten on the chests and backs; or to a hell in which their hands and feet are burned; or to a hell in which they are bound by iron snakes that coil around them; or to a hell in which they are pursued by racing iron dogs; or to a hell in which their bodies are stretched by iron mules.

“Humane One, to inflict these retributions in each hell hundreds of thousands of instruments made of copper, iron, stone, or fire arise from karmic force. Those four materials come into being in response to the kinds of karma offenders created.

If I were to explain in detail what happens during retributions in the hells, then I would need to tell of the hundreds of thousands of sufferings that must be undergone in each specific hell. How much more would that be the case for the sufferings in all the many hells!

Now, having based myself upon the awesome spiritual power of the Buddha, I have given a general answer to the Humane One’s question, for if I were to speak in detail, it would take eons.”

## Chapter Six

## The Thus Come One’s Praises

At that time the World Honored One emitted a great bright light from his entire body, totally illuminating Buddha lands as many as grains of sand in billions of Ganges Rivers.

His strong voice reached to all the Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas in those Buddha lands, as well as to the gods, dragons, ghosts and spirits, humans, non-humans and others, saying, “Listen today, as I praise Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, who displays an inconceivable awesome spiritual strength and compassionate power throughout the Ten Directions as he rescues and protects beings when things happen to them as they suffer for offenses they have committed.

After I pass into Nirvana, all of you Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas and all of you gods, dragons, ghosts, spirits, and others should use vast numbers of expedient means to protect this Sutra and to cause all beings to realize the bliss of Nirvana.”

After that was said a Bodhisattva named Universally Expansive arose in the assembly, placed his palms together respectfully, and said to the Buddha, “We are now about to witness the World Honored One praise Earth Store Bodhisattva’s inconceivably great awesome spiritual virtue.

We hope the World Honored One will also aid beings in the future Dharma-Ending Age by telling us about how Earth Store Bodhisattva benefits people and gods and about the working out of cause and effect.

That will help the gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division, along with beings of the future to receive the Buddha’s teaching respectfully.”

At that time the World Honored One said to the Bodhisattva Universally Expansive, to the Fourfold Assembly, and others, “Listen attentively, listen attentively. I will briefly describe to you how Earth Store Bodhisattva’s virtuous deeds keep benefiting people and gods.”

Universally Expansive replied, “Excellent, World Honored One. We are happy to listen.”

The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Universally Expansive, “If, in the future, good men or good women who, upon hearing Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattvas name, place their palms together, praise him, bow to him, or gaze in worship, they will overcome thirty eon’s worth of offenses.

Universally Expansive, if good men or good women gaze upon and bow but once to painted or drawn images of the Bodhisattva or images made using clay, stone, lacquer, gold, silver, copper and iron, they will be reborn one hundred times in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three and will eternally avoid falling into the Evil Paths.

If their blessings in the heavens come to an end and they are born in the human realm, they will become national leaders who suffer no loss of benefits. “There may be women who dislike having female bodies. Suppose they whole-heartedly make offerings to images of Earth Store Bodhisattva that are paintings or are made using clay, stone, lacquer, brass, iron, or other materials.

If they continually make such offerings day after day without fail, using flowers, incense, food, drink, clothing, colored silks, banners, money, jewels, and other items as offerings, when those good women finish their current female retributions, then throughout hundreds of thousands of eons they will never again be born in worlds where there are women, much less be one, unless it be through the strength of their compassionate vows to liberate beings.

Based on the strength of their offerings to Earth Store Bodhisattva and the power of their meritorious virtues, they will not be born into female bodies throughout hundreds of thousands of eons.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, women who are ugly or prone to sickness will dislike those problems.

If they gaze at and bow to images of Earth Store Bodhisattva with sincere resolve for even just a few minutes, then throughout millions of eons, they will always be born with full and perfect features.

If those woman who are ugly do not dislike having female bodies, then throughout billions of lives they will always be born as women of royal lineage, or will marry into royalty, or will become daughters of prime ministers, prominent families, or great Elders.

They will be of upright birth and full-featured. They will receive such blessings from having sincerely beheld and worshipped Earth Store Bodhisattva.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, there may be good men or good women who are able to play music, sing, or chant praises, and make offerings of incense and flowers before images of the Bodhisattva or who are able to exhort one or more others to do likewise.

Now and in the future, such people will be surrounded day and night by hundreds of thousands of ghosts and spirits who will even prevent bad news from reaching their ears, much less allow them to be personally involved in any accidents.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, in the future, evil people, evil spirits, or evil ghosts may see good men or good women taking refuge with, respectfully making offerings to, praising, beholding, and bowing to images of Earth Store Bodhisattva. Those beings may make the mistake of ridiculing such acts of worship, saying that they are of no merit.

They may sneer at those good people, condemn them behind their backs, or get a group or even one other person to have even as little as one thought of condemnation.

Such beings will fall into the Avichi Hell and the extreme misery they will undergo as retribution for their slander will not end even after the thousand Buddhas of the Worthy Eon have passed into tranquility.

Only after that eon will they be reborn among the hungry ghosts, where they will pass a thousand more eons before being reborn as animals.

Only after another thousand eons will they obtain human bodies, but they will be poor and lowly with incomplete faculties, and their evil karma will cause them to suffer mental afflictions. Before long they will fall into the Evil Paths again.

Universally Expansive, such are the retributions that will undergo those who ridicule and slander others’ acts of worship.

How much worse will the retributions be if besides their slandering, they have other evils views.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, in the future, men or women may be bedridden for years and in spite of their wishes be unable either to get well or to die.

At night they may dream of evil ghosts, or of family and relatives, or of wandering on dangerous paths. In numerous nightmares they may roam with ghosts and spirits.

As days, months, and years go by, such people may weaken and waste away, cry out in pain in their sleep, and become progressively depressed and melancholy.

Those things happen when the force of karma has not yet been determined, which makes it difficult for them to die and impossible for them to be cured. The ordinary eyes of men and women cannot recognize such things.

“In that situation some people should recite this sutra aloud once before images of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. They should also offer possessions, which those sick people cherish, such as clothing, jewels, gardens, or houses. They should speak distinctly to the sick people saying, “Now before this sutra or these images, we are offering these items on behalf of these sick people.

They may offer sutras or images, or commission images of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas, or build stupas or monasteries, or light oil lamps, or give to the Eternally Dwelling. They should tell the sick people three times about the offerings that are being made, informing them so they both hear and understand what is being done.

“If their consciousnesses are already scattered and their breathing has stopped, then for one, two, three, four, and on through seven days, others should continue to inform them clearly and to read this Sutra aloud.

When those people’s lives end, they will gain liberation from all heavy and disastrous offenses they committed in previous lives, even offenses warranting Fivefold Relentless retribution.

They will be born in places where they will always know past lives.

How much greater will the karmic reward be if good men or good women can write out this Sutra themselves or commission others to do so.

If they can carve or paint images themselves or commission others to do so, the benefits they receive will be great indeed!

“Therefore, Universally Expansive, if you see people reading and reciting this Sutra or even having a single thought of praise for it, or if you meet someone who reveres it, you should employ hundreds of thousands of expedients to exhort such people to be diligent and not retreat.

In both the present and the future they will be able to obtain billions of inconceivable meritorious virtues.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, beings in the future may, while dreaming or drowsy, see ghosts, spirits, and other forms that are either sad, weeping, or worried, fearful, or terrified.

Those are all fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and relatives from one, ten, a hundred, or a thousand lives past who have not yet been able to leave the bad destinies.

They have no place from which to hope for the power of blessings to rescue them, and so they try to communicate with their closest descendants, hoping that those relatives will use some skillful means to help them get out of the Evil Paths. Universally Expansive, using your spiritual powers, exhort those descendants to recite this Sutra with sincere resolve before the images of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas or to request others to recite it, either three or seven times.

When the Sutra has been read aloud the proper number of times, relatives in the Evil Paths will obtain liberation and never again be seen by those who are dreaming or drowsy.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, people of low station, and those who are slaves, or who are bonded, or who are deprived of their freedom in other ways may be aware of their past deeds and wish to repent of them and to reform.

If while beholding and bowing to Earth Store Bodhisattva’s image with sincere resolve for seven days they are able to recite his name a full ten thousand times, then when their current retribution ends, those people will always be born into wealth and honor for thousands lives.

How much the more will they avoid any of the sufferings of the Three Evil Paths?

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, in the future in Jambudvipa when the wives of Kshatriyas, Brahmans, Elders, Upasakas, and those of other names and clans are about to give birth to sons or daughters, the family members should recite this inconceivable Sutra and recite the Bodhisattva’s name a full ten thousand times during the seven days before the birth of their children.

If those infants, whether male or female, were destined to undergone a terrible retribution for things done in past lives, they will be liberated from those retributions. They will be peaceful, happy, easily raised, and will have long lives.

If those children were due to receive blessings, then their peace and happiness will increase, as will their life spans.

“Moreover, Universally Expansive, on the first, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth days of the lunar month, the offenses of beings are tabulated and their gravity assessed.

Every single movement or stirring of thought on the part of beings of Jambudvipa creates karma and offenses.

How much more is that the case when they blatantly indulge in killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech and hundreds of thousands of other kinds of overt offenses.

If they are able to recite this Sutra once on those ten vegetarian days, before the images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or worthy one and sages, then there will be no disasters for within a radius of one hundred yojanas.

The relatives of those who recite, both old and young, now and in the future, will be apart from the Evil Paths throughout hundreds of thousands of years.

If they can recite this sutra once on each of these ten vegetarian days, then there will be no accidents or illnesses in the family, and there will be food and clothing in abundance.

“Universally Expansive, you should know of the beneficial deeds done by Earth Store Bodhisattva as he makes use of his indescribably many billions of great awesome spiritual powers.

The beings of Jambudvipa have strong affinities with this Bodhisattva.

If they hear the Bodhisattva’s name, see the Bodhisattva’s image, or hear but a few words, a verse, or sentence of this Sutra, then they will enjoy particularly wonderful peace and happiness in this present life.

Through hundreds of thousands of ten thousands of future lives, they will always be handsome or beautiful, and they will be born into honorable and wealthy families.

Having heard the Buddha, Thus Come One, praise Earth Store Bodhisattva in that way, Universally Expansive Bodhisattva knelt, placed his palms together, and again addressed the Buddha, saying,

“World Honored One, I have long known that this Bodhisattva has both inconceivable spiritual powers and mighty vows. I have questioned the Thus Come One so that beings in the future will know of these benefits.

I receive this answer most respectfully.

World Honored One, how should this sutra be titled and how should we propagate it?”

The Buddha said to Universally Expansive, “This Sutra has three titles: the first is The Past Vows of Earth Store Bodhisattva; it is also called Earth Store’s Past Conduct; and it is called Sutra of the Power of Earth Store’s Past Vows.

Because this Bodhisattva repeatedly makes such great and mighty vows throughout long eons to benefit beings, you should all propagate this Sutra in accord with his vows.” After Universally Expansive had heard that, he placed his palms together respectfully, made obeisance, and withdrew.

## Chapter Seven

## Benefiting the Living and the Dead

At that time Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, I see that every single movement or stirring of thought on the part of beings of Jambudvipa is an offense.

Beings tend to use up the wholesome benefits they gain; many of them end up retreating from their initial resolve. If they encounter evil conditions, they augment them with every thought.

They are like people trying to carry heavy rocks while walking through mud. Each step becomes more difficult and the rocks more cumbersome as their feet sink deeper. If they meet a mentor, he may be strong enough to lighten or even totally remove their burdens. Helping them thus, the mentor will urge them to step on solid ground, pointing out that once they reach a level place they should remain aware of that bad path and never traverse it again.

“World Honored One, the bad habits of beings range from minor to major.

Since all beings have such habits, their parents or relatives should create blessings for them when they are on the verge of dying in order to assist them on the road ahead.

That may be done by hanging banners and canopies; lighting oil lamps; reciting the sacred Sutras; making offerings before the images of Buddhas or sages.

Another way to assist them is by reciting the names of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Pratyekabuddhas so that the recitation of each name passes by the ear of the dying one and is heard in his fundamental consciousness.

“Suppose the evil karma created by beings were such that they should fall into the evil destinies. If their relatives cultivate wholesome causes on their behalf when they are close to death, then their manifold offenses can be dissolved.

If relatives can further do many good deeds during the first forty-nine days after the death of such beings, then the deceased can leave the evil destinies forever, be born as humans and gods, and receive supremely wonderful bliss. The surviving relatives will also receive limitless benefits. “Therefore, before the Buddhas, World Honored Ones, as well as before the gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division, humans and non-humans, I now exhort beings of Jambudvipa to be careful to avoid harming, killing, and doing other unwholesome deeds; to refrain from worshipping ghosts and spirits or making sacrifices to them; and to never call on mountain sprites on the day of death.

Why is that?

Killing, harming, and making sacrifices are not the least bit helpful to the deceased. Such acts only bind up the conditions of offenses so that they grow ever more deep and heavy.

The deceased might have been due to increase his potential for Sage-hood or gain birth among humans or gods in his next life or in the future. But when his family commits offenses in his name, he will resent the disasters he inherits, and his good rebirth will be delayed.

How much more would that be the case for people on the verge of death who during their lives had planted few good roots?

Each offender has to undergo the bad destinies according to his own karma. How could anyone bear to have relatives add to that karma?

That would be like having a neighbor add a few more things to a load of over a hundred pounds being carried by someone who had already traveled a long distance and who had not eaten for three days.

By adding that extra weight, that person’s burden would become even more unbearable.

“World Honored One, I see that beings of Jambudvipa will themselves receive the benefit of any good deeds they are able to do within the Buddha’s teaching.

That holds true even when the deeds are as small as a strand of hair, a drop of water, a grain of sand, or a mote of dust.”

After that had been said, an Elder named Great Eloquence arose in the assembly. He had long since realized Non-production and was only appearing in the body of an Elder to teach and transform those in the Ten Directions.

Placing his palms together respectfully, he asked Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Great Lord, after people in Jambudvipa die and their close and distant relatives generate merit by making meal offerings and doing other such good deeds, will the deceased obtain merit and virtue significant enough to bring about their liberation?

Earth Store replied, “Elder, based on the awesome power of the Buddhas, I will now proclaim this principle for the sake of beings of the present and future.

Elder, if beings of the present and future when on the verge of dying hear the name of one Buddha, one Bodhisattva, or one Pratyekabuddha, they will attain liberation whether they have offenses or not.

“When men or women laden with offenses who failed to plant good causes die, even they can receive one-seventh of any merit dedicated to them by relatives who do good deeds on their behalf.

The other six-sevenths of the merit will return to the living relatives who did the good deeds. It follows that men and women of the present and future who cultivate while they are strong and healthy will receive every portion of the benefit derived.”

“The arrival of the Great Ghost of Impermanence is so unexpected that the deceased ones’ consciousnesses first roam in darkness and obscurity, unaware of offenses and blessings.

For forty-nine days they are as if deluded or deaf, or as if in courts where their karmic retributions are being decided. Once judgment is fixed, rebirths are undergone according to their karma.

In the time before rebirths are determined, the deceased suffer thousands of myriads of concerns. How much more is that the case for those who are to fall into the bad destinies?

“Throughout forty-nine days those whose lives have ended and who have not yet been reborn will be hoping every moment that their immediate relatives will earn blessings powerful enough to rescue them.

At the end of that time the deceased will undergo retribution according to their karma. If someone is an offender, he may pass through hundreds of thousands of years without even a day’s liberation.

If someone’s offenses deserve Fivefold Relentless retribution, he will fall into the great hells and undergo incessant suffering throughout hundreds of thousands of eons.”

“Moreover, Elder, when beings who have committed karmic offenses die, their relatives may prepare vegetarian offerings to aid them on their karmic paths.

In the process of preparing the vegetarian meal and before it has been eaten, rice-washing water and vegetable leaves should not be thrown on the ground. Before the food is offered to the Buddhas and Sangha no one should eat it.

If there is laxness or transgression in this matter, then the deceased will receive no strength from it.

If purity is vigorously maintained in making the offering to the Buddhas and Sangha, the deceased will receive one-seventh of the merit.

Therefore, Elder, by performing vegetarian offerings on behalf of deceased fathers, mothers, and other relatives while making earnest supplication on their behalf, beings of Jambudvipa benefit both the living and the dead.”

After that was said, hundreds of thousands of millions of Nayutas of ghosts and spirits of Jambudvipa who were in the palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven, made the unlimited resolve to attain Bodhi.

The Elder Great Eloquence made obeisance and withdrew.

## Chapter Eight

## Praises of King Yama and His Followers

At that time from within the Iron Ring Mountain, Lord Yama and his following of infinite ghost kings came before the Buddha in the Trayastrimsa Heaven. They were the Ghost King Evil Poison, the Ghost King Many Evils, the Ghost King Great Argument, the Ghost King White Tiger, the Ghost King Blood Tiger, the Ghost King Crimson Tiger, the Ghost King Spreading Disaster, the Ghost King Flying Body, the Ghost King Lightning Flash, the Ghost King Wolf Tooth, the Ghost King Thousand Eyes, the Ghost King Animal Eater, the Ghost King Rock Bearer, the Ghost King Lord of Bad News, the Ghost King Lord of Calamities, the Ghost King Lord of Food, the Ghost King Lord of Wealth, the Ghost King Lord of Domestic Animals, the Ghost King Lord of Birds, the Ghost King Lord of Beasts, the Ghost King Lord of Mountain Sprites, the Ghost King Lord of Birth, the Ghost King Lord of Life, the Ghost King Lord of Sickness, the Ghost King Lord of Danger, the Ghost King Three Eyes, the Ghost King Four Eyes, the Ghost King Five Eyes, the Ch’i Li Shih King, the Great Ch’i Li Shih King, the Ch’i Li Ch’a King, the Great Ch’i Li Ch’a King, the No Ch’a King, the Great No Ch’a King, and other such great ghost kings.

With them were hundreds of thousands of minor ghost kings who dwelt throughout Jambudvipa; each presiding over certain jurisdictions. Aided by the Buddha’s awesome spiritual strength and the power of Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva all these ghost kings joined Lord Yama in the Trayastrimsa Heaven and together they stood to one side.

Then Lord Yama knelt down, placed his palms together, and said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, aided by the Buddha’s awesome spiritual strength and the power of Earth Store Bodhisattva, I have been able to come to this great assembly in the Trayastrimsa Heaven, with all these ghost kings and, to our benefit, join in together. There is now a small doubt that I should like to express, and we hope the World Honored One will be compassionate and resolve it.”

The Buddha told Lord Yama, “I will answer whatever you want to ask.”

At that time Lord Yama looked respectfully at the World Honored One, made obeisance, turned his head to acknowledge Earth Store Bodhisattva, and then said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, I observe that Earth Store Bodhisattva uses hundreds of thousands of expedient means to take across beings that are suffering for their offenses within the Six Paths of rebirth. I see that he does so unstintingly, without the least fatigue.

Although this Great Bodhisattva uses his inconceivable spiritual penetrations to do such deeds, it doesn’t take long for the beings that he has helped in gaining release from retributions to fall again into the bad paths.

“World Honored One, since Earth Store Bodhisattva has such great inconceivable spiritual power, why are beings not able to rely on it, to stay in the good paths, and to be freed once and for all? Please, World Honored One, explain that for us.”

The Buddha told Lord Yama, “The beings of Jambudvipa have stubborn and obstinate natures, difficult to tame, difficult to subdue.

This Great Bodhisattva continually rescues such beings throughout hundreds of thousands of eons and causes them to obtain liberation quickly. For those beings undergoing retributions even in the worst destinies, the Bodhisattva applies the strength of expedients to extricate them from their own basic karmic conditions and lead them to understand the events of their past lives.

“But because beings of Jambudvipa are so bound by their own heavy bad habits, they keep revolving in and out of the various paths over and over as this Bodhisattva labors throughout many long eons to entirely effect their rescue and release.

“They are like people who in confusion, lost their way home and took a bad road by mistake. On that treacherous road were many Yakshas, tigers, wolves, lions, serpents, and vipers. Those confused people were sure to be harmed in an instant on that dangerous path. But then they met a knowledgeable guide, skilled in neutralizing all harm, including the toxins of the Yakshas and others.

The mentor began to guide the travelers off that road and told them, ‘Beware, everyone! What business brought you onto this road? What kinds of special skills do you have to avoid all that harm?’

“Hearing that, the confused travelers realized they were on a dangerous path and turned back, attempting to escape. The kind guide then told them to join hands, led them off the dangerous path, and helped them avoid the deadly peril. When they reached a safe path, the travelers grew happy and at peace.

Their mentor then said to them, ‘Take care, confused ones, never to go back into that road again. Once on it, it is hard to get off; it can destroy a person’s very nature and life.

“The travelers who had been confused expressed their deep gratitude and as they were about to part the mentor said to them, ‘If you see any other travelers, whether you know them personally or not, be they men or women, tell them that the poisons and evils on that path could harm their natures and lives. Do not allow them to unwittingly bring about their own deaths.’

In the same way, Earth Store Bodhisattva, replete with great compassion, rescues beings that are suffering for their offenses and enables them to be born among humans and gods where they enjoy wonderful bliss.

“Once those offenders obtain release from the suffering they experienced in the paths where their karma took them, they should never go down those roads again.

They are like the lost people who mistakenly took a wrong road and were lead off it by a kind mentor.

They now know to never take that road again. Moreover, they exhort others not to enter that road by saying, ‘we took that road ourselves when we got confused, but we escaped and now we know better than to ever enter that road again.

If we were to set foot on it again, we would get confused and be unable to recognize it as the dangerous path we descended into before. That being the case, we might lose our lives.’ The same holds true for falling into the bad destinies.

Due to the powerful expedient means of Earth Store Bodhisattva, beings can be freed and can gain rebirth as humans or gods.

If they were to then turn around and enter into the bad destinies again, then those with heavy karmic bonds might remain in the hells forever with no chance of escape.”

At that time the Ghost King Evil Poison placed his palms together respectfully, addressed the Buddha, and said, “World Honored One, each of us countless ghost kings of Jambudvipa bestows benefit or inflicts harm on beings differently. But our karmic retributions are such that we and our followers roam in the world doing much evil and little good.

When we pass a household, a city, a town, a garden, a cottage or a hut where there are men or women who have cultivated as little as a hair’s worth of good deeds, who have hung but one banner or one canopy, who have used a little incense or a few flowers as offerings to images of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas, or who have recited the sacred Sutras or burned incense as an offering to even one sentence or gatha in them, we ghost kings will respect such people as we would the Buddhas of the past, present, and future. We will instruct the smaller ghosts, each of whom has great power, as well as the Earth Spirits, to protect such people.

Bad situations, accidents, severe or unexpected illnesses, and all other unwelcome events will not even come near their residences or other places they may be, much less enter the door.”

The Buddha praised the ghost kings, “Excellent, excellent, that all of you ghost kings join Lord Yama in protecting good men and women in that way. I shall tell Lord Brahma and Lord Shakra to see that you are protected as well.”

When that was said, a Ghost King in the assembly named Lord of Life said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, my karmic conditions are such that I have jurisdiction over the life-spans of people in Jambudvipa, governing both the time of their births and their deaths.

My fundamental vows are based on a great desire to benefit them, but people do not understand my intent and go through birth and death in distress. Why is that?

“When women in Jambudvipa have just borne children, be they boys or girls, or when they are just about to give birth, good deeds should be done to increase the benefits of the household, thus causing the local Earth Spirits to be immeasurably pleased.

The spirits will then protect the mother and child so that they experience peace and happiness; they will bring benefit to the entire family.

After the birth, all killing and injuring for the purpose of offering fresh meat to the mother should be carefully avoided, as should parties that involve consumption of alcohol, eating of meat, singing, and playing musical instruments. All those things can keep the mother and child from being peaceful and happy. Why is that?

At the difficult time of birth, uncountable evil ghosts, including mountain sprites, goblins, and spirit-beings, desire to eat the strong-smelling blood.

I quickly order the local Earth Spirits of that household to protect the mother and child, allowing them to be peaceful and happy and to receive other benefits.

When people in such households witness those benefits, they should do meritorious deeds to express their gratitude to the Earth Spirits.

If instead, they harm and kill, and have big parties involving feasting and entertainment, then the retributions that result from such offenses will be born by they themselves and will bring harm to the mother and child as well.

“Moreover, when people of Jambudvipa are on the verge of death, I wish to keep them from falling into the Evil Paths, regardless of whether they have done good or evil.

But how much is this power of mine to help them increased when they have personally cultivated good roots!

When those who do good in Jambudvipa are about to die, hundreds of thousands of ghosts and spirits from the bad paths transform themselves and appear as the parents or other relatives in an attempt to lead such people to fall into the Evil Paths. How much more is that the case for those who have done evil deeds!

“World Honored One, when men or women in Jambudvipa are on the verge of death, their consciousnesses and spirits become confused and dark. They are unable to discriminate between good and evil, and their eyes and ears are unable to see or hear.

That is why relatives of those deceased should make generous offerings, recite the sacred Sutras, and recite the names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Such good conditions can cause the deceased to leave the Evil Paths, and all the demons, ghosts, and spirits will withdraw and disperse.

“World Honored One, if at the time of death beings of any kind have an opportunity to hear the name of one Buddha or Bodhisattva or to hear a sentence or gatha of a Mahayana Sutra, I observe that such beings can quickly be freed from the pull of their accumulated minor bad deeds that would otherwise send them to the bad paths.

The exception to that is crimes involving killing that warrant Fivefold Relentless Retribution.”

The Buddha told the Ghost King Lord of Life, “Because of your great compassion, you are able to make such great vows and protect all beings in the midst of life and death.

When men or women in the future undergo birth and death, do not withdraw from your vow, but liberate them all so they gain eternal peace.”

The Ghost King told the Buddha, “Please do not be concerned. Until the end of my life I shall in every thought protect beings of Jambudvipa both at the time of birth and at the time of death, so that they all gain tranquility.

I only wish that at the time of birth and of death they will believe what I say so that they all can be liberated and gain many benefits.”

At that time the Buddha told Earth Store Bodhisattva, “This great Ghost King Lord of Life has already passed through hundreds of thousands of lives as a Ghost King, protecting beings during both birth and death.

Only because of this Great Being’s compassionate vows does he appear in the body of a ghost, for in reality he is not a ghost.

After one hundred seventy eons have passed, he will become a Buddha named No Appearance Thus Come One. His eon will be called Happiness, and his world will be named Pure Dwelling. That Buddha’s lifespan will be incalculable eons. Earth Store, the circumstances surrounding this great Ghost King are thus. They are inconceivable, and the people and gods whom he takes across are countless.”

## Chapter Nine

## The Names of Buddhas

At that time, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva said to the Buddha,

“World Honored One, I want to discuss some practices that will be helpful to beings of the future and will enable them to gain great benefit throughout their lives and deaths. World Honored One, please hear my words.”

The Buddha told Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Now with your expansive compassion you wish to discuss the inconceivable events involved in rescuing all those in the Six Paths who are suffering for their offenses.

This is the right time. Speak now, since my Nirvana is near, so that I may soon help you complete your vows. Then I too will have no need to be concerned about beings of the present or future.”

Earth Store Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, countless Asamkhyeya eons ago a Buddha named Boundless Body Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name and have a momentary thought of respect, those people will overstep the heavy offenses involved in birth and death for forty eons.

How much more will that be the case for those who sculpt or paint this Buddha’s image or praise and make offerings to him. The merit they obtain will be limitless and unbounded.

“Furthermore, in the past as many eons ago as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, a Buddha named Jewel Nature Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name and instantly decide to take refuge, those people will never retreat from the Unsurpassed Path.

“Furthermore, in the past a Buddha named Padma Supreme Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name or if the sound of the name merely passes into their ears, those people will be reborn one thousand times in the Six Desire Heavens. How much more will that be the case if those people sincerely recite the name of that Thus Come One?

“Furthermore, in the past inexpressibly ineffable Asamkhyeya eons ago, a Buddha named Lion’s Roar Thus Come One appeared in the world. If men or women hear this Buddha’s name and in a single thought take refuge, those people will encounter numberless Buddhas who will rub the crowns of their heads and bestow predictions of enlightenment upon them.

“Furthermore, in the past a Buddha named Krakucchanda appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name and sincerely behold, worship, or praise him, those people will become Great Brahma Heaven kings in the assemblies of the thousand Buddhas of the Worthy Eon and will there receive superior predictions.

“Furthermore, in the past a Buddha named Vipashin appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name, those people will eternally avoid falling into the Evil Paths, will always be born among people or gods, and will abide in supremely wonderful bliss.

“Furthermore, in the past as many eons ago as there are grains of sand in limitless and countless Ganges Rivers, a Buddha named Jewel Supreme appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name, those people will never fall into the Evil Paths and will always abide in the heavens experiencing supremely wonderful bliss.

“Furthermore, in the past a Buddha named Jeweled Appearance Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name and give rise to a thought of respect, those people will soon attain the fruitions of Arahatship.

“Furthermore, limitless Asamkhyeya eons ago, a Buddha named Kashaya Banner Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name, those people will overcome the offenses of birth and death for one hundred great eons.

“Furthermore, in the past a Buddha named Great Penetration Mountain King Thus Come One appeared in the world.

If men or women hear this Buddha’s name, those people will encounter as many Buddhas as there are grains of sand in the Ganges, who will speak Dharma extensively for them, making certain that they realize Bodhi.

“Furthermore, in the past there were Buddhas named Pure Moon Buddha, Mountain King Buddha, Wise Victory Buddha, Pure Name King Buddha, Accomplished Wisdom Buddha, Unsurpassed Buddha, Wonderful Sound Buddha, Full Moon Buddha, Moon-Face Buddha, and indescribably many other Buddhas.

World Honored One, beings of the present and future, both gods and humans, both male and female, can amass such limitless merit and virtue by reciting only one Buddha’s name. How much more merit will they amass by reciting many names.

Those beings will personally obtain benefits in their lives and deaths significant enough to keep them from ever falling into the Evil Paths.

“When people are on the verge of dying, a group of their relatives, or even just one of them, should recite Buddhas’ names aloud for the people who are sick.

By doing so, the karmic retributions of those people who are about to die will be dissolved, even offenses deserving Fivefold Relentless retribution.

Offenses warranting Fivefold Relentless retribution are so extremely heavy that those who commit them should not escape retribution for millions of eons.

If, however, at the time of such offenders’ deaths, someone recites the names of Buddhas on their behalf, then their offenses can gradually be dissolved.

How much more will that be the case for beings that recited those names themselves? The merit they attain will be limitless and will eradicate measureless offenses.”

## Chapter Ten

## The Conditions and Comparative Merits and Virtues of Giving

At that time, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, based on the Buddha’s awesome spiritual strength, arose from his seat, knelt on one knee, placed his palms together and said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, I have observed beings within the paths of karma and compared their acts of giving.

Some do a little and some do a lot. Some receive blessings for one life, some for ten lives, and some receive great blessings and benefits for hundreds or thousands of lives. Why is that? Please, World Honored One, explain that for us.”

At that time the Buddha told Earth Store Bodhisattva, “Here in this assembly in the palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven, I will now discuss the comparative merit and virtue derived from acts of giving done by the beings in Jambudvipa. Listen attentively to what I say.”

Earth Store said to the Buddha, “I have wondered about this matter and will be pleased to listen.”

The Buddha told Earth Store Bodhisattva, “In Jambudvipa, leaders of nations, prime ministers, high officials, great Elders, great Ksatriyas, great Brahmans, and others may encounter those who are poor, hunchbacked, crippled, dumb, mute, deaf, retarded, blind or handicapped in other ways.

Those leaders and good people may wish to give to those people and may be able to do so with great compassion, a humble heart, and a smile.

They may arrange to give generously, either personally with their own hands, or by arranging for others to do so, using gentle words and sympathetic speech.

The blessings and benefits that such leaders and good people will accrue will be comparable to the meritorious virtues derived from giving to as many Buddhas as there are grains of sand in a hundred Ganges Rivers.

Why is that?

Those leaders and good people will receive such rewards of blessings and benefits for having shown a great compassionate heart toward the most impoverished and handicapped individuals.

Throughout hundreds of thousands of lives to come they will always have an abundance of the seven gems, not to mention clothing, food, and the necessities of life.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future the leaders of nations, Brahmans, and others may encounter Buddhist stupas, monasteries, or images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Sound-Hearers, or Pratyekabuddhas and personally make offerings or give gifts to them.

From doing that, those leaders and good people will serve as Lord Shakra for a duration of three eons, enjoying supremely wonderful bliss.

If they are able to transfer the blessings and benefits of that giving and dedicate it to the Dharma Realm, then those leaders of nations and good people will reign as great Brahma Heaven kings for ten eons.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future leaders of nations, Brahmans, and others may, upon encountering ancient Buddhist stupas and monasteries or sutras and images that are damaged, decaying, or broken, resolve to restore them.

Those leaders and good people may then do so themselves or encourage others, as many as hundreds of thousands of people to help and thereby establish affinities.

Those leaders and good people will become Wheel-Turning Kings for hundreds of thousands of successive lives and those who made offerings with them will be leaders of small nations for as many lives.

If, before the stupas or monasteries, they resolve to dedicate that merit, then, based on that limitless and unbounded reward, those leaders, good people, and their helpers will eventually all complete the path to Buddhahood.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future, leaders of nations, Brahmans, and others may have compassionate thoughts upon seeing the old, the sick, or women in child birth, and may provide them with medicinal herbs, food, drink, and bedding so as to make them peaceful and comfortable.

The blessings and benefits derived from doing that are quite inconceivable.

For one hundred eons they will always be lords of the Pure Dwelling Heavens, for two hundred eons they will be lords in the Six Desire Heavens, and they will ultimately attain Buddhahood.

They will never fall into the Evil Paths, and for hundreds of thousands of lives they will hear no sounds of suffering.

“Moreover, Earth Store, if in the future, leaders of nations, Brahmans, and others can give in that way, they will receive limitless blessings.

If they are in addition, able to dedicate that merit, be it great or small, they will ultimately attain Buddhahood.

How much more easily will they be able to attain the rewards of becoming Shakra, Brahma, or a Wheel-Turning King?

Therefore, Earth Store, you should urge beings everywhere to learn to give in those ways.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future if good men or good women only manage to plant a few good roots within the Buddha dharma, equivalent to no more than a strand of hair, a grain of sand, or a mote of dust, they will receive incomparable blessings and benefits.

“Moreover, Earth Store, good men or women in the future may, upon encountering images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Pratyekabuddhas, or Wheel-Turning Kings, give gifts or make offerings to them.

Such persons will attain limitless blessings and will always enjoy supremely wonderful bliss among people and gods.

If they can dedicate that merit to the Dharma Realm, their blessings and benefits will be beyond compare.

“Moreover, Earth Store, good men or good women in the future may, upon encountering Great Vehicle sutras or upon hearing but a single gatha or a sentence of a gatha, be inspired to praise, venerate, give gifts, and make offerings to them.

Those people will attain great limitless and unbounded rewards. If they can dedicate that merit to the Dharma Realm, their blessings will be beyond compare.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future, good men or good women may, upon encountering new Buddhist stupas, monasteries, or sutras of the Great Vehicle, give gifts and make offerings to them, gaze at them in worship, and respectfully make praises with joined palms.

They may, upon encountering old ones or those that have been destroyed or damaged, either do the repairing or rebuilding themselves or encourage others to help them.

Those who help will become leaders of small nations throughout thirty successive lives. The donors themselves will always be Wheel-Turning Kings who will use the good Dharma to teach and transform those leaders of small nations.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future, good men or good women may plant good roots in the Buddha dharma by giving, making offerings, repairing stupas or monasteries, rebinding sutras, or doing other good deeds amounting to no more than a strand of hair, a mote of dust, a grain of sand, or a drop of water.

Merely by transferring the merit from such deeds to the Dharma Realm, those people’s meritorious virtues will enable them to enjoy superior and wonderful bliss for hundreds of thousands of lives.

If they dedicate the merit only to their immediate or extended families or to their own personal benefit, then the rewards received will be only three lives of happiness. By giving up one, a ten-thousand-fold reward is obtained.

So it is, Earth Store. The circumstances involved in the causes and conditions of giving are like that.

## Chapter Eleven

## The Dharma Protection of an Earth Spirit

At that time the Earth Spirit Firm and Stable spoke to the Buddha and said, “World Honored One, from long ago I have personally beheld and bowed to limitless numbers of Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas. All of them have inconceivable and great spiritual penetrations and wisdom that they use in taking vast numbers of beings across.

Among all the Bodhisattvas, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva has the deepest and most weighty vows.

World Honored One, Earth Store Bodhisattva has great affinities in Jambudvipa.

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Avalokiteshvara, and Maitreya, also produce by transformation, hundreds of thousands of bodies to take across those in the Six Paths, but their vows have an end.

Earth Store Bodhisattva has made these vows to teach and transform beings in the Six Paths throughout eons as many as the number of sand grains in hundreds of thousands of millions of Ganges Rivers.

“World Honored One, as I regard beings of the present and future,

I see those who make shrines of clay, stone, bamboo, or wood and set them on pure ground in the southern part of their dwellings.

They place within the shrines images of Earth Store Bodhisattva, sculpted, painted, or made of gold, silver, copper, or iron.

They then light incense, make offerings, behold, worship, and praise him. By doing those things, such people will receive ten kinds of benefits.

“What are those ten?

First, their lands will be fertile.

Second, their families and homes will always be peaceful.

Third, their ancestors will be born in the heavens.

Fourth, those of the current generation will enjoy benefits and long lives.

Fifth, they will easily obtain what they want.

Sixth, they will not encounter disasters of water and fire.

Seventh, they will avoid unforeseen calamities.

Eighth, they will never have nightmares.

Ninth, they will be protected by spirits in their daily comings and goings.

Tenth, they will encounter many causes that pertain to Sage-hood.

“World Honored One, beings of the present and future who make offerings in their homes in the prescribed manner will attain benefits like those.”

He further said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, good men or good women in the future may keep this Sutra and an image of the Bodhisattva where they live. Further, they may recite the Sutra and make offerings to the Bodhisattva.

For those who do that, I shall constantly use my own spiritual powers to guard and protect them day and night so that nothing bad happens to them, including floods, fire, robbery and theft, major disasters, and minor accidents.”

The Buddha told the Earth Spirit Firm and Stable, “There are few spirits who can match your great spiritual power. Why do I say that?

All the lands in Jambudvipa receive your protection.

All the grasses, woods, sands, stones, paddy fields, hemp, bamboo, reeds, grains, rice, and gems come forth from the earth because of your power.

Moreover, your constant praising of the beneficial deeds of Earth Store Bodhisattva makes your meritorious virtues and spiritual penetrations hundreds of thousands of times those of ordinary Earth Spirits.

“If good men or good women in the future make offerings to this Bodhisattva, or recite the Sutra Of The Past Vows Of Earth Store Bodhisattva and rely upon even a single aspect of it in their cultivation, you should use your own spiritual powers to protect them.

Do not allow any disasters or unwelcome events even to be heard, much less undergone, by them.

Not only will those people be protected by you, they will also be protected by the followers of Shakra, Brahma, and other gods. Why will they receive protection from sages and worthies such as those? It will be due to their having beheld and worshipped an image of Earth Store Bodhisattva and from having recited this Sutra of his past vows.

Such people will quite naturally be able to leave the sea of suffering and ultimately be certified to the bliss of Nirvana. For those reasons they receive great protection.”

## Chapter Twelve

## Benefits Derived from Seeing and Hearing

At that time the World Honored One emitted hundreds of thousands of millions of great rays of light from the opening at the crown of his head.

They were the White Ray, the Great White Ray, the Auspicious Ray, the Great Auspicious Ray, the Jade Ray, the Great Jade Ray, the Purple Ray, the Great Purple Ray, the Blue Ray, the Great Blue Ray, the Azure Ray, the Great Azure Ray, the Red Ray, the Great Red Ray, the Green Ray, the Great Green Ray, the Gold Ray, the Great Gold Ray, the Celebration Cloud Ray, the Great Celebration Cloud Ray, the Thousand-wheeled Ray, the Great Thousand-wheeled Ray, the Jeweled Wheel Ray, the Great Jeweled Wheel Ray, the Solar Disc Ray, the Great Solar Disc Ray, the Lunar Disc Ray, the Great Lunar Disc Ray, the Palace Ray, the Great Palace Ray, the Ocean Cloud Ray, and the Great Ocean Cloud Ray.

After emitting such rays of light from the opening at the crown of his head, he spoke in subtle and wonderful sounds to the great assembly of gods, dragons, the rest of the Eightfold Division, humans, non-humans and others, “Hear me today in the palace of the Trayastrimsa Heaven as I praise Earth Store Bodhisattva, telling of his beneficial deeds, of inconceivable events, of the matter of his transcendence to Sage-hood, of the circumstances of his certification to the Tenth Ground, and of the situation leading to his being irreversible from Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.”

As that was said, a Bodhisattva, Mahasattva named Contemplator of the World’s Sounds arose from his seat in the assembly, knelt on one knee, and with palms together said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva is replete with great compassion and pities beings who are suffering for their offenses.

In thousands of millions of worlds he creates thousands of millions of transformation bodies through the strength of his meritorious virtues and inconceivable awesome spiritual strength.

“I have heard the World Honored One and the numberless of Buddhas of the Ten Directions praise Earth Store Bodhisattva with different mouths but in unison, saying that even if all the Buddhas of the past, present, and future were to speak of his meritorious qualities, they could never finish describing them.

Upon hearing the World Honored One tell the great assembly that he now wants to praise Earth Store Bodhisattva’s beneficial deeds and so forth,

I am beseeching the World Honored One to praise the inconceivable events pertaining to Earth Store Bodhisattva for the sake of beings of the present and future and to cause the gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division to gaze in worship and attain blessings.”

The Buddha replied to the Bodhisattva Contemplator of the World’s Sounds, “You have great affinity with the Saha World. If gods, dragons, men, women, spirits, ghosts, or any other beings who are suffering for offenses within the Six Paths hear your name, see your image, behold you, or praise you, they will definitely become irreversible on the Unsurpassed Way. They will always be born among people and gods and there experience wonderful bliss. When the effects of their causes come to maturity, they will encounter Buddhas who will give them predictions.

You now are replete with great compassion and pity for beings, for gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division. Listen as I discuss events involving the inconceivable benefits bestowed by Earth Store Bodhisattva. Listen attentively, I will describe them for you.”

The Contemplator of the World’s Sounds said, “So be it, World Honored One, I will be pleased to hear.”

The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Contemplator of the World’s Sounds,

“In worlds of the present and future, gods whose heavenly blessings are ending may be manifesting the Five Signs of Decay, indications that they may be about to fall into Evil Paths.

When those signs appear, if those gods, whether male or female, see Earth Store Bodhisattva’s image or hear his name and gaze at him or bow once to him, their heavenly blessings will thereby increase.

They will experience great happiness and will never have to undergo retributions in the Three Evil Paths.

How much more will that be the case for those who upon seeing and hearing the Bodhisattva use incense, flowers, clothing, food, drink, jewels, and necklaces as gifts and offerings to him.

The meritorious virtues, blessings, and benefits they gain will be limitless and unbounded.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds, in the worlds in the present and future, when beings in the Six Paths are on the verge of death, if they can hear the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva, even the sound of it passing through their ears only once, such beings will never have to endure the sufferings of the Three Evil Paths again.

How much more will that be the case if the parents and other relatives use the houses, wealth, property, jewels, and clothing of such people who are on the verge of death to commission the carving or painting of images of Earth Store Bodhisattva?

If those sick people have not yet died, their relatives can try to help them see, hear, and understand that their houses, jewels, and so forth have been used for the carving or painting of images of Earth Store Bodhisattva.

If those people’s karmic retributions were such that they should have to undergo severe sickness, then with such merit they can quickly be cured and their life spans prolonged.

If those people’s retributions send them to the evil destinies at death due to their karma and obstacles, then with such merit they can, when their lives end, be born among people or gods and there enjoy extremely wonderful bliss. All their obstacles due to offenses will dissolve.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, in the future men or women may have lost their fathers, mothers, brothers, or sisters while still an infant or as a child of three, or five, or under ten years of age.

As adults, such people may think about those parents and other relatives, not knowing into what paths or worlds or heavens they have been born.

Suppose such people are able to sculpt or paint images of Earth Store Bodhisattva or to gaze upon and worship him once or for one through seven days without retreating.

If, upon hearing his name and seeing his image, they gaze in worship and make offerings, and even if such people’s relatives had fallen into bad paths and were destined to remain there for many eons, those relatives will quickly gain release, be born among people or gods, and experience supremely wonderful bliss.

That will happen because of the meritorious virtue generated by their sons, daughters, brothers, or sisters who carved or painted images of Earth Store Bodhisattva and then gazed upon and worshipped them.

“If such people’s relatives had already been born among people or gods on the strength of their own blessings and were already experiencing supremely wonderful bliss, then upon receiving that additional merit, their causes leading to Sage-hood will increase, and they will experience limitless bliss.

If such people are able to behold and worship images of Earth Store Bodhisattva single-mindedly during three weeks, reciting his name a full ten thousand times, the Bodhisattva may then manifest a boundless body and describe to those people the realms into which their relatives have been born.

Or in their dreams the Bodhisattva may manifest great spiritual power and personally lead them to those worlds to see their relatives.

“If they can further recite the Bodhisattva’s name one thousand times a day every day for one thousand days, the Bodhisattva will send the ghosts and Earth Spirits in the vicinity of such people to guard and protect them for their entire lives.

In this world their clothing and food will be abundant and they will have no suffering from sickness or other causes. No accidents will occur in their households, much less affect them personally.

Finally, the Bodhisattva will rub the crowns of their heads and bestow predictions upon them.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, good men or good women in the future may want to practice great compassion in rescuing and taking across beings. They may want to cultivate unsurpassed Bodhi, and may want to leave the Triple World.

Those people may see Earth Store Bodhisattva’s image, hear his name, and in their hearts take refuge with him. They may use incense, flowers, clothing, jewels, food and drink to make offerings while beholding and worshipping him.

Such good people’s wishes will quickly be realized and they will never have any further obstructions.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, in the future good men and women may want to fulfill hundreds of thousands of millions of vows and to succeed in as many undertakings in both the present and future.

They need only take refuge with, gaze upon, worship, make offerings to, and praise images of Earth Store Bodhisattva. In such a way, their vows and goals can all be realized.

Moreover, they may hope that Earth Store Bodhisattva, being endowed with great compassion, will always protect them. In dreams the Bodhisattva will rub the crowns of their heads and bestow predictions upon them.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, good men and women in the future may have high regard for the Great Vehicle Sutras and make the inconceivable resolve to read them and to recite them from memory.

They may then encounter a bright master who instructs them so that they may become familiar with the texts. But as soon as they learn them, they forget them. They may try for months or years and yet still be unable to read or recite them from memory.

Because those good men and good women have karmic obstructions from past lives that have not yet been resolved, they are unable to read and memorize Sutras of the Great Vehicle.

Upon hearing Earth Store Bodhisattva’s name or seeing his image, such people should, with deep respect and honesty, state their situation to the Bodhisattva.

In addition, they should use incense, flowers, clothing, food and drink, and other material objects they enjoy to make offerings to the Bodhisattva.

They should place a bowl of pure water before the Bodhisattva for one day and one night. Afterwards, placing their palms together, they should state their request and then, while facing south, prepare to drink the water.

As the water is about to enter their mouths they should be particularly sincere and solemn.

After drinking the water they should abstain from the five pungent plants, wine, meat, improper sexual activity, false speech, and all killing and harming for one to three weeks.

In dreams those good men and good women may then see Earth Store Bodhisattva manifesting a boundless body and anointing the crowns of their heads with water.

When they awaken they may be endowed with keen intelligence.

Upon hearing this Sutra but one time, they will eternally remember it and never forget or lose a single sentence or verse.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, in the future there may be people whose food and clothing are insufficient, who find their efforts thwarted, who endure much sickness or misfortune, whose families are not peaceful, whose relatives are scattered, who are accident prone, or who are often startled in their sleep by dreams.

Upon hearing Earth Store’s name and seeing his image, such people should recite his name a full ten thousand times with extreme sincerity and respect.

Those inauspicious circumstances will gradually disappear, and they will gain peace and happiness.

Their food and clothing will be abundant and even in their dreams they will be peaceful and happy.

“Moreover, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, in the future, good men or good women may have to enter mountain forests, cross over rivers, seas, or other large bodies of water, or take dangerous routes either for the sake of earning their own livelihood, or for public or personal affairs, or matters of life and death, or other urgent business.

Such people should first recite the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva a full ten thousand times.

The ghosts and spirits of the lands they pass through will then guard and protect them in their walking, standing, sitting, and lying down.

The peace and happiness of those people will constantly be preserved, so that even if they encounter tigers, wolves, lions, or any other harmful or poisonous creatures, they will not be harmed.”

The Buddha told the Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, “Earth Store Bodhisattva has great affinities with beings in Jambudvipa.

Hundreds of thousands of eons would not be time enough to describe the benefits derived by beings that see this Bodhisattva and hear his name.

Therefore, Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, you should use your spiritual powers to propagate this Sutra, thus enabling beings in the Saha World to receive peace and happiness always, throughout hundreds of thousands of eons.

At that time the World Honored One spoke verses, saying:

I observe that Earth Store’s awesome spiritual strength,

Could not be fully described even in Ganges sands’ eons.

Seeing, hearing, beholding and bowing to him even once

Benefits people and gods in endless numbers of ways.

Men and women, gods or dragons that are near the end

Of their rewards and on the verge of falling into Evil Paths,

Can, by sincerely taking refuge with this Great Being,

Have their life spans lengthened; their offenses dissolved.

Sometimes youngsters lose their kind and loving parents

And do not know what paths they took.

Quite often lost brothers, sisters, and other kin

Were never known by their surviving relatives.

If such people sculpt or paint this Bodhisattva’s image

And then beseech, behold and bow to him intently,

And if they hold his name in mind a full three weeks

The Bodhisattva may display a boundless body.

He may reveal the realms where relatives were born

And even quickly free those in bad destinies.

If those praying can sustain their initial resolve,

He may rub their heads and predict their Sage-hood.

Since those determined to cultivate unsurpassed Bodhi

And escape the suffering here in the Triple World,

Have already discovered their great compassionate hearts,

They should first behold and bow to this Great Being.

Then every vow they make will soon be fulfilled

And no karmic obstructions will ever hinder or stop them.

Some people may resolve to read the sutra texts

Hoping to help those confused to reach the other shore.

Although the vows they make are quite remarkable,

Try as they may, they cannot remember what they read.

Because of their karmic obstructions and delusions,

Those people cannot memorize the Mahayana sutras.

But they can offer scents and flowers to Earth Store.

They can give him clothing, food, and other things they like.

They can place pure water on an altar to the Bodhisattva,

And leave it there a day and night before they drink it.

With diligent intent they should abstain from pungent plants,

Alcohol, meat, improper sex and false speech.

For three weeks they should not kill or harm any creature,

While being mindful of the name of that Great Being.

Then suddenly in a dream their vision may become boundless.

Awakening, they may discover that they now have keen hearing.

From then on, once they hear the teachings of the sutras,

They will never forget them throughout thousands of lives.

How inconceivable this Bodhisattva is

In helping people like that gain such wisdom!

Beings may be impoverished or plagued with disease,

Their homes may be troubled; their relatives scattered.

They may find no peace even in sleep or dreams.

Their efforts may be thwarted so that nothing goes their way.

But if they earnestly behold and bow to Earth Store’s image

All those evil situations will simply disappear.

And even their dreams will be totally peaceful.

Food and clothes will be ample; spirits and ghosts protective.

People may need to enter mountain forests, cross great seas,

Or go among venomous or evil birds and beasts, evil people,

Evil spirits, evil ghosts, and even evil winds

Or put themselves in other distressing situations.

They need only gaze in worship and make offerings

To an image of the Great Being, Earth Store Bodhisattva.

In response, all the evils in those mountain forests

And on those vast seas will simply disappear.

Contemplator of Sounds, listen well to what I say.

Earth Store Bodhisattva is an unending wonder!

Hundreds of thousands of eons is time too brief

To describe fully the powers of this Great Being.

If people can but hear the name “Earth Store,”

And when seeing his image revere him and bow in worship,

And offer incense, flowers, clothing, food, and drink,

Those gifts with bring them hundreds of thousands of joys.

If they can dedicate such merit to the Dharma Realm,

They will become Buddhas, transcending birth and death.

Contemplator of Sounds, know this well,

And tell everyone everywhere in lands like Ganges sands.”

## Chapter Thirteen

## The Entrustment of People and Gods

At that time the World Honored One extended his gold-colored arm, and again rubbed the crown of the head of Earth Store Bodhisattva while saying, “Earth Store, Earth Store, your spiritual powers, compassion, wisdom, and eloquence are inconceivable.

Even if all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions were to proclaim their praise of your inconceivable deeds, they could not finish in thousands eons.

“Earth Store, Earth Store, remember this entrustment that I am again making here in the Trayastrimsa Heaven in this great assembly of hundreds of thousands of millions of indescribably many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division.

I again entrust to you the gods, people, and others who are still in the burning house and have not yet left the Triple World.

Do not allow those beings to fall into the evil destinies even for a single day and night, much less fall into the Fivefold Relentless Hell or the Avichi Hell, where they would have to pass through thousands of millions of eons with no chance of escape.

“Earth Store, the beings of southern Jambudvipa have irresolute wills and natures. They habitually do many evil deeds.

Even if they resolve to do good, they soon renounce that resolve.

If they encounter evil conditions, they tend to become increasingly involved in them.

For those reasons I reduplicate hundreds of thousands of millions of bodies to transform beings, take them across, and liberate them, all in accord with their own fundamental natures.

“Earth Store, I now earnestly entrust the multitudes of gods and people to you.

If in the future among gods and people there are good men or good women who plant a few good roots in the Buddha dharma, be they as few as a strand of hair, a mote of dust, a grain of sand, or a drop of water, then you should use your powers in the Way to protect them so that they gradually cultivate the Unsurpassed Way and do not get lost or retreat from it.

“Moreover, Earth Store, in the future gods or people, according to the responses of their karmic retributions, may be due to fall into the evil destinies. They may be on the brink of falling or may already be at the very gates to those paths.

But if they can recite the name of one Buddha or Bodhisattva or a single sentence or verse of a Great Vehicle Sutra, then you should use your spiritual powers to rescue them with expedient means.

Display a boundless body in the places where they are, smash the hells, and lead them to be born in the heavens and to experience supremely wonderful bliss.”

At that time the World Honored One spoke in verse, saying:

I am entrusting to your care the multitudes

Of gods and people both now and in the future.

Use great spiritual powers and expedients to save them.

Do not allow them to fall into the evil destinies.

At that time Earth Store Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, knelt on one knee, placed his palms together, and said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, I beg the World Honored One not to be concerned.

In the future if good men and women have a single thought of respect toward the Buddha dharma, I shall use hundreds of thousands of expedients to take them across and free them.

They will quickly be liberated from birth and death. How much more will that be the case for those who, having heard about all these good matters, are inspired to cultivate.

They will naturally become irreversible from the Unsurpassed Way.

After he finished speaking, a Bodhisattva named Empty Space Treasury, who was in the assembly, spoke to the Buddha,

“World Honored One, I personally have come to the Trayastrimsa Heaven and have heard the Thus Come One praise Earth Store Bodhisattva’s awesome spiritual strength, saying that it is inconceivable.

If in the future, good men, good women, gods, and dragons hear this Sutra and the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva and if they behold and bow to his image, how many kinds of blessings and benefits will they obtain?

Please, World Honored One, say a few words about this for the sake of beings of the present and future.”

The Buddha told Empty Space Treasury Bodhisattva, “Listen attentively, listen attentively, I shall enumerate them and describe them to you.

Good men or women in the future may see images of Earth Store Bodhisattva and hear this sutra or read or recite it. They may use incense, flowers, food and drink, clothing, and gems to give gifts and make offerings. They may praise, behold and bow to him. Such beings will benefit in twenty-eight ways:

First, they will be protected by gods and dragons. Second, their good roots will increase daily. Third, they will amass supreme causes pertaining to Sage-hood. Fourth, they will not retreat from Bodhi. Fifth, their clothing and food will be abundant. Sixth, they will never by infected by epidemics. Seventh, they will never be in disasters of fire and water. Eighth, they will never be threatened by thieves. Ninth, they will be respected by all who see them. Tenth, they will be aided by ghosts and spirits. Eleventh, women who want to can be reborn as men. Twelfth, women who want to can be daughters of leaders of nations and officials. Thirteenth, they will have an upright and proper appearance. Fourteenth, they will often be born in the heavens. Fifteenth, they may be emperors or leaders of nations. Sixteenth, they will have the wisdom to know past lives. Seventeenth, they will attain whatever they seek. Eighteenth, their families will be happy. Nineteenth, they will never undergo any disasters. Twentieth, they will leave the bad karmic paths forever. Twenty-first, they will always arrive at their destination. Twenty-second, their dreams will be peaceful and happy. Twenty-third, their deceased relatives will leave suffering behind. Twenty-fourth, they will enjoy blessings earned in previous lives. Twenty-fifth, they will be praised by sages. Twenty-sixth, they will be intelligent and have keen faculties. Twenty-seventh, they will be magnanimous and empathic. Twenty-eighth, they will ultimately realize Buddhahood.

“Moreover, Empty Space Treasury Bodhisattva, if gods, dragons, or spirits of the present or future hear Earth Store’s name, bow to Earth Store’s image, or hear of Earth Store’s past vows and the events of his practices, and then praise him, behold, and bow to him, they will benefit in seven ways:

First, they will quickly transcend to levels of Sage-hood.

Second, their evil karma will dissolve.

Third, all Buddhas will protect and be near them.

Fourth, they will not retreat from Bodhi.

Fifth, their inherent powers will increase.

Sixth, they will know past lives.

Seventh, they will ultimately realize Buddhahood.

At that time, all the indescribable, indescribable, numbers of Buddhas, Thus Come Ones who had come from the Ten Directions, and Great Bodhisattvas, gods, dragons and the rest of the Eightfold Division, having heard Shakyamuni Buddha’s praise of Earth Store Bodhisattva’s great awesome spiritual powers, praised this unprecedented event.

Following that, incense, flowers, heavenly garments, and pearl necklaces rained down in the Trayastrimsa Heaven as offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha and Earth Store Bodhisattva, and everyone in the assembly joined together in beholding and making obeisance to them.

Then they placed their palms together and withdrew.

Definition of CHI and TAI CHI

Chi: Roughly, this word translates to a power, force or energy of changing that can’t be seen.

When they first created this word they were referring to two main types of energy or changing-

Four element materials – earth, water, fire and air.

And

All the Life forms – external movement ability and internal chakra energies creating energy.

Although one could argue that the life forms themselves have a body that is also made of the same eternal four elements. The difference is that consciousness connects to / creates or directly influences the four elements that make up their body but a typhoon for example is from nature’s or the universe force.

Today we could also add in a machine style energy which refers to Chi that is generated or controlled by a machine to create movement, force or changing etc. these machines didn’t exist when the word chi was originally created.

Tai-chi:

Tai-chi is defined as being the utmost limited. Which means it is the highest you can reach while still being limited. If the final goal is to one day be completely unlimited, Tai-chi refers to a process, path or system for developing the ability of the final goal.

While we are still on this path towards this goal of unlimited we are still limited. So the utmost limited means the highest One can reach without having finished the journey. This is the process of still practicing and learning tai- chi.

Once one reaches the final goal, they will no longer be limited. After all, the final goal is to be unlimited. this is called Wuji. Wuji is when the consciousness is free to play with extreme opposite forces (yin and yang), without getting stuck or trapped (limited) in either of them.

So Wuji is the final goal, and Tai-chi is the path towards that goal but not the final. That is why it is translated to be the utmost limited. Because it is the highest one can reach without being completely unlimited yet, Taichi is what we practice to eventually reach Wuji. Unlimited.

Level never drop. Observing self being non stop. Eternal wisdom and compassion 💪🏼🙏🏼🕉☯🐉☺

{Practices and Vows of the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra}  
Take a look at the commentary, Precious Garland

\[The first part of this document is an excerpt from one of the great Buddhist sutras. (Book One Begins below) Buddha Shakyamuni preached it in heaven shortly after his attainment of Buddhahood. The sutra reveals different causes and ways of cultivation of many great Bodhisattvas, such as Ten Grades of Faith, Ten Stages of Wisdom, Ten Activities, Ten Transference of Merits, Ten Stages of Bodhisattvas, Absolute Universal Enlightenment, Wonderful Enlightenment, etc. It also reveals how to enter Avatamsaka World (Buddha’s world) from the Saha World. “The Flower Adornment Sutra” — whose full title is the “Great Means Expansive Buddha Flower Adornment Sutra” — is the longest Sutra in Mahayana Buddhism. Referred to by Buddhist scholars as “the King of Kings of Buddhist scripture” and the “epitome of Buddhist Thought, Buddhist sentiment, and Buddhist experience,” the Flower Adornment Sutra is 81 rolls (bamboo scrolls) long and contains more than 700,000 Chinese characters.\]

At one time Samantabhadra addressed the assembled, having praised the exalted merits and virtues of Buddha Vairocana, the Bodhisattva Bodhisattvas, along with Sudhana, as follows:

“Good men, even if all the Buddha’s of all the ten directions were to speak continuously, for as many eons as there are fine motes of dust in a incalculable number of Buddha lands (worlds), the merits and virtues of the Buddha could never be fully described.

“Those wishing to achieve these merits and virtues should cultivate ten vast and great practices and vows. What are these ten?

First, Pay homage and respect to all Buddha’s.

Second, Praise all the Buddha’s.

Third, Make abundant offerings.

Fourth, Repent misdeeds and evil karma’s (actions).

Fifth, Rejoice in others’ merits and virtues.

Sixth, Request the Buddha’s to teach.

Seventh, Request the Buddha’s to remain in the world.

Eighth, Follow the teachings of the Buddha’s at all times.

Ninth, Accommodate and benefit all living beings.

Tenth, Transfer all merits and virtues universally.”

After explaining the significance of the first eight vows, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra continues:

Ninth Vow

“Sudhana, to accommodate and benefit all living beings is explained like this: throughout the oceans of worlds in the ten directions exhausting the Dharma realm (cosmos) and the realms of empty space there are many different kinds of living beings. That is to say, there are those born from eggs, the womb-born, the transformational born, as well as those who live and rely on earth, water, fire and air for their existence. There are beings dwelling in space, and those who are born in and live in plants and trees. This includes all the many species and races with their diverse bodies, shapes, appearances, life spans, families, names, and natures. This includes their many varieties of knowledge and views, their various desires and pleasures, their thoughts and deeds, and their many different behaviors, clothing and diets.

“It includes beings who dwell in different villages, towns, cities and palaces, as well as gods, dragons, and others of the eight divisions, Humans and non-humans alike. There are also footless beings, beings with two feet, four feet, and many feet, with form and without form, with thought and not entirely with thought and not entirely without thought.

” I will accord with and take care of all these many kinds of beings, providing all manner of services and offerings for them. I will treat them with the same respect I show my own parents, teachers, elders, Arhats, and even the Buddha’s. I will serve them all equally without difference.

” I will be a good Physician for the sick and suffering. I will lead those who have lost their way to the right road. I will be a bright light for those in the dark night, and cause the poor and destitute to uncover hidden treasures.

“The Bodhisattva impartially benefits all living beings in this manner.

“Why is this? If a Bodhisattva accords with living beings, then he accords with and makes offerings to all Buddha’s. If he can honor and serve living beings then he honors and serves the Buddha’s. If he makes living beings happy, he is making all Buddha’s happy. Why is this? It is because all Buddha’s take the mind of great compassion as their substance. Because of living beings, they develop great compassion. From great compassion the bodhi mind is born; and because of the bodhi mind, they accomplish supreme, perfect enlightenment (Buddhahood).

“It is like a great regal tree growing in the rocks and sand of a barren wilderness. When the roots get water, the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits will all flourish. The regal Bodhi-tree growing in the wilderness of birth and death is the same. All living beings are its roots; all Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas are its flowers and fruits. By benefiting all beings with the water of great compassion, one can realize the flowers and fruits of the Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas wisdom. Why is this? It is because by benefiting living beings with the water of great compassion, the Bodhisattvas can achieve supreme perfect enlightenment; therefore, Bodhi belongs to living beings. Without living beings, no Bodhisattva could achieve supreme, perfect enlightenment.

“Good man, you should understand these principals in this way: When the mind is impartial towards all living beings, one can accomplish full and perfect great compassion. By using the mind of great compassion to accord with living beings, one perfects the offering of the Dharma to the Buddha’s. In this way the Bodhisattva constantly accords with living beings.

“Even when the realms of empty space are exhausted, the realms of living beings are exhausted, the karma’s of living beings are exhausted, I will still accord endlessly, continuously, in thought after thought, without cease. My body, speech and mind never weary of these deeds.

Tenth Vow

“Moreover, good man, to transfer all merits and virtues universally is explained like this: all merits and virtues, from the first vow, to pay homage and respect up to and including the vow to accommodate and benefit all living beings throughout out the Dharma realm (cosmos) and to the limits of empty space. I vow all living beings will be constantly happy without sickness or suffering. I vow that no one will succeed in doing any evil, but that all will quickly perfect their cultivation of good karma. I vow to shut the door to evil destinies and open the right paths of humans, gods and that of Nirvana. I will stand in for living beings and receive all the extremely severe fruits of suffering which they bring around with their evil karma. I will liberate all these beings and ultimately bring them to accomplish unsurpassed Bodhi (Buddhahood). The Bodhisattva cultivates transference’s in this way.

“Even when the realms of empty space are exhausted, the realms f living beings are exhausted, the karma’s of living beings are exhausted, and the afflictions of living beings are exhausted, I will transfer all merits and virtues endlessly, continuously, in thought after thought without cease. My body, speech and mind never weary of these deeds.

“Good man, these are the ten great vows of the great Bodhisattvas in their entirety. If all Bodhisattvas can follow and abide by these great vows, then they will succeed in bringing all living beings to maturity. They will be able to accord with the path of the supreme, perfect enlightenment and complete Samantabhadra’s sea of conduct and vows. Therefore, good man, you should know the meaning of this…

“Further, when a person who recites these vows is on the verge of death, at the last instant of life, when all his faculties scatter and he departs from his relatives, when all power and status are lost and nothing survives, when his “Prime Minister, great officials, his inner court and outer cities his elephants, horses, carts, and treasures of precious jewels” can no longer accompany him, these great vows alone will stay with him. At all times they will guide him forward, and in a single instant he will be reborn in the land of ultimate bliss arriving there, he will see Amitabha Buddha, The Bodhisattvas Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Avalokiteshvara, Maitreya, and others. The appearance of these Bodhisattvas will be magnificent and their virtues and merits complete. Together they will surround him.

“This person will see himself born from a lotus flower and will receive a prediction of Buddhahood. Therefore, he will pass through a incalculable number of eons and, with his power of wisdom, he will accord with the minds of living beings in order to benefit them everywhere, throughout the countless worlds of the ten directions.

“Before long he will sit in front of the Bodhi-mandala (place of enlightenment), subdue the demonic armies, accomplish supreme, perfect enlightenment, and turn the wonderful Dharma Wheel (Preach Buddhism). He will cause living beings in worlds as numerous as the fine motes of dust in Buddha lands to develop the Bodhi mind (Mind of Enlightenment).

“According with their inclinations and basic natures, he will teach, transform, and bring them to maturity.

“To the exhaustion of the oceans of future eons, he will greatly benefit living beings…”

At that time the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, wishing to restate his meaning, contemplated everywhere in the ten directions and spoke in verse.

1\. Before the Buddha’s “Lions Among Men,”

Through out the worlds of the ten directions,

in the past, in the present, and also in the future,

With Body, Speech and Mind entirely pure,

I bow down before them all, omitting none.

With the awesome power of Samantabhadra’s Vows,

I appear at the same time before every Buddha,

And in transformed bodies as numerous as motes of dust in all lands,

Bow to the Buddha’s as numerous as motes of dust in all lands.

2\. With oceans of sound I every where let fall

Words and phrases, wonderful and endless,

Which now and through all the eons of the future,

Praise the wide, deep sea of the Buddha’s Merits and Virtues.

3\. Flower garlands, supreme and wonderful,

Music, perfume, parasols, and canopies,

And other decorations rich and rare,

I offer to every Buddha.

Fine clothing, superior incense,

Powdered and burning incense, lamps and candles,

Each one heaped up as high as mount Sumeru,

I offer completely to all Buddha’s

With a vast, great, supremely liberated mind,

I believe in all Buddha’s of the three periods of time,

With the strength of Samantrabhadras conduct and vows

I make offerings to all Buddha’s everywhere.

4\. For all the evil deeds I have done in the past,

Created by my body, speech, and mind,

From beginning-less greed, anger, and delusion,

I now know shame and repent them all.

5.-I rejoice in the merits and virtues,

of all beings in the ten directions,

from the most humble to the Arhats,

Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas and Buddha’s.

6.-Before the “Lights of the Worlds” of the ten directions,

Who have just accomplished supreme Bodhi,

I now request and beseech them all,

To turn the foremost, wondrous Dharma Wheel.

7\. If there are Buddha’s who wish for Nirvana,

I request with deep sincerity,

That they dwell in the world for a long time,

To bring benefits and bliss to every being.

The good roots gained,

from following and rejoicing in merit and virtue

and from repentance and reform,

I transfer to living beings and the Buddha way.

8\. I study with the Buddha’s and practice

the perfect conduct of Samantabhadra;

I make offerings to all the Buddha’s of the past

and to all present Buddha’s throughout the ten directions

All future “Teachers of Gods and Men”

Whose aspirations and vows have been completed,

I will follow in study throughout the three periods of time

And quickly attain the great Bodhi…

I vow that every being in all directions

Will be peaceful, happy, and without worry.

May they obtain the proper Dharmas profound aid,

And may their afflictions be wiped away,

Without exception.

In my practice striving for Buddhahood,

I will gain the knowledge of my past lives

In all destinies.

I will always leave the home-life and cultivate

pure precepts,

Without default, never broken, and without stain.

Be they Gods, Dragons, Yakshas, or Kumbhandas,

Humans, Non-humans, and the rest,

In the many languages of all such living beings,

With every sound I will speak the Dharma.

I will cultivate the pure paramitas with vigor,

and never abandon the Bodhi Mind.

I will banish all Obstructions and defilement’s,

And fulfill all wondrous practices.

From all delusions, karma’s, and demon states,

amid all worldly paths, I will be freed,

As the lotus does not touch the water,

As Sun and Moon do not stop in Space.

9\. -Ending the sufferings of the paths of evil,

And to everyone equally bringing joy,

May I for eons like the motes of dust

in all the lands

ever benefit all in the ten directions

Always in accord with living beings,

Cultivating through all future eons

The vast conduct of Samantrabhardra,

The unsurpassed Bodhi will I perfect.

I vow always to meet Buddha’s face-to-face

And the hosts of disciples who gather around them;

I will raise offerings, which are vast and great,

Untiring to the end of future eons.

I will hold high the subtly wondrous Dharma

And illuminate all the practices of Bodhi;

I will be ultimately pure in Samantabhadra’s way,

Practicing until the end of time.

Inexhaustible blessings and wisdom,

I cultivate throughout all worlds;

By concentration, wisdom, skillful means,

and samádhis,

I will gain an endless store of merits and virtues.

In one mote of dust are lands as numerous as motes of

dust;

In each land are incalculable numbers of Buddha’s.

In every place where Buddha’s dwell I see the host

assembled

Endlessly proclaiming all the practices of Bodhi.

In ten directions everywhere, throughout the sea of

lands,

Every hair-tip encompasses oceans of past, present and

future.

So, too, there is a sea of Buddha’s, a sea of Buddha

lands;

Pervading them all I cultivate for seas of endless time.

The speech of all Buddha’s is pure;

Each word contains an ocean of sounds.

According with what beings like to hear,

The Buddha’s’ seas of eloquent flows forth…

I can penetrate the future

And exhausting all eons in a single thought.

In a single thought I compress

All eons of the three periods of time.

In one thought I see all “Lions of Men”

Of the past, present, and future;

I constantly fathom the Buddha’s’ states,

Their magical samádhis and their awesome strength.

On the tip of an extremely fine hair,

Appears jeweled lands of past, present and future;

Lands on hair-tips as numerous as dust motes in all

lands of the ten directions,

I deeply enter, adorn, and purify …

The seas of lands I everywhere adorn and purify,

And I liberate all living beings, without exceptions.

With skill I make selections from among the seas of

Dharmas

And enter deeply into the wisdom sea …

Each Buddha has an elder disciple

Named Samantabhadra, Honored One.

I now transfer all good roots, and I vow

To perform deeds of wisdom identical to his.

I vow that my body, speech and mind will be

forever pure,

And that all practices and lands will be also.

I vow in every way to be identical

To the wisdom of Samantabhadra.

I will wholly purify Samantabhadra’s conduct,

And the great vows of Manjushri as well.

All their deeds I will fulfill, leaving nothing undone.

Till the end of time I will never tire.

Infinite and measureless is my cultivation;

Boundless merit and virtue I obtain.

Amid limitless practices I will dwell in peace,

And penetrate the strength of spiritual powers.

10\. Manjushri has wisdom, courage and bravery;

Samantabhadra’s conduct and wisdom are the same.

I now transfer all good roots

In order to follow them in practice and in study…

In the three periods of time, all Buddha’s praise

such vows as these, lofty and great.

I now transfer all good roots, wishing to perfect

The supreme practices of Samantabhadra

I vow that when my life approaches its end,

all obstructions will be swept away;

I will see Amitabha Buddha,

And be born in his land of Ultimate Bliss and Peace.

When reborn in the western land,

I will perfect and completely fulfill,

without exception, these great vows,

To delight and benefit all beings.

The assembly of Amitabha Buddha is completely pure;

When from a matchless lotus I am reborn,

I will behold the Buddha’s Measureless light as he

appears before me

To bestow a prediction of Buddhahood.

Receiving a prediction from the Buddha,

I will take countless appearances and forms,

and with wisdom power vast and great, pervade ten directions

to benefit all the realms of living beings.

Realms of worlds in empty space might reach an end,

And living beings, Karma’s and afflictions be

extinguished;

But they will never be exhausted,

and neither will my vows.

With myriad jewels in boundless lands in all

directions,

I make decorations and offerings to the Buddha’s,

For eons as numerous as the motes of dust in

all lands,

I bring the foremost peace to gods and humans.

Yet, if anyone believes in these great vows,

as they pass by the ears a single time,

And in search of Bodhi thirstily craves these vows,

The merits and virtues gained will surpass these

offerings

With bad advisers forever left behind,

From paths of evil he departs for eternity,

Soon to see the Buddha of limitless light

And perfect Samantrbhardras supreme vows.

Easily obtaining the blessings of long life,

Assured of a noble rebirth in the human realm,

before long he will perfect and complete

the practices of Samantabhadra.

In the past, owing to a lack of wisdom power,

The five offenses of extreme evil he has committed;

In one thought they can be wiped away by reciting

The great vows of Samantabhadra.

His clan, Race, features and characteristics

with his wisdom are all perfected and complete;

Demons and externalists will have no way to harm him,

and he will be a field of merits in the triple realm.

To the regal Bodhi tree he will quickly go,

and seated there subdue hordes of demons,

Supremely and perfectly enlightened, he will turn the

Dharma Wheel,

To benefit all sentient beings.

If anyone can read, recite, receive, and hold high

Samantrabhadras vows and proclaim them,

His reward only the Buddha’s will know,

and he will achieve Supreme Enlightenment.

If anyone recites Samantrabhadras vows,

I will speak of a portion of his good roots:

in one single thought he can fulfill

the pure vows of sentient beings.

The supreme and endless blessings from

Samantrabhadras conduct

I now universally transfer;

May every living being, drowning and adrift,

Soon return to the pure land, the land of

Limitless light!

When the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra finished speaking these pure verses on the great Vows of Samantabhadra before the Buddha, the youth Sudhana was overwhelmed with boundless joy. All the Bodhisattvas were extremely happy as well, and the Buddha applauded saying “Good indeed, Good Indeed…”

Book One  
The Wonderful Adornments Of The Leaders Of The Worlds

Thus have I heard:

At one the time the Buddha was in the land of Magadha, in a state of purity, at the site of enlightenment, having just realized true awareness. The ground was solid and firm, made of diamond, adorned with exquisite jewel discs and myriad precious flowers, with pure clear crystals. The Ocean of Characteristics of the various colors appeared over an infinite extent. There were banners of precious stones, constantly emitting shining light and producing beautiful sounds. Nets of myriad gems and garlands of exquisitely scented flowers hung all around. The finest jewels appeared spontaneously, raining inexhaustible quantities of gems and beautiful flowers all over the Earth. There were rows of jewel trees, their branches and foliage lustrous and luxuriant. By the Buddha’s spiritual power, he caused all the adornments of this enlightenment sight to be reflected therein.

The tree of enlightenment was tall and outstanding. Its trunk was diamond, its main boughs were semi-precious stones, its branches and twigs were of various precious elements. The leaves, spreading in all directions, provided shade, like clouds. The precious blossoms were of various colors, the branching twigs spread out their shadows. Also, the fruits were jewels containing a blazing radiance. They were together with the flowers in great arrays. The entire circumference of the tree emanated light; within the light there rained precious stones, and within each gem were enlightened beings, in great hosts, like clouds, simultaneously appearing.

Also, by virtue of the awesome spiritual power of the Buddha, the tree of enlightenment constantly gave forth sublime sounds speaking various truths without end.

The Palace chamber in which the Buddha was situated was spacious and beautifully adorned. It extended throughout the ten directions. It was made of jewels of various colors and was decorated with all kinds of precious flowers. The various adornments emanated lights like clouds; the masses of their reflections from within the Palace formed banners.

A boundless host of enlightening beings, the congregation at the site of enlightenment, were all gathered there: by means of the ability to manifest the lights and inconceivable sounds of the Buddhas, they fashioned nets of the finest jewels, from which came forth all the realms of action of the spiritual powers of the Buddhas, and in which were reflected images of the abodes of all beings.  
Also, by virtue of the aid of the spiritual power of the Buddha, they embraced the entire cosmos in a single thought.

Their Lion Seats were high, wide, and beautiful. The bases were made of jewels, their nets of lotus blossoms, their tableaus of pure, exquisite gemstones. They were adorned with various flowers of all colors, their roofs, chambers, steps, and doors were adorned by the images of all things. The branches and fruits of jewel trees surrounded them, arrayed at intervals.  
Clouds of radiance of jewels reflected each other: the Buddhas of the ten directions conjured regal pearls, and the exquisite jewels in the topknots of all the enlightening beings all emanated light, which came and illuminated them.

Furthermore, sustained by the spiritual power of all Buddhas, they expounded the vast perspective of the enlightened ones, their subtle tones extending afar, their being no place they did not reach.

At that time, the Buddha, the world honored one, in this setting, attained to supreme, correct awareness of all things. His knowledge entered into all times with complete equanimity; his body filled all worlds; his voice universally accorded with all lands in the ten directions. Like space, which contains all forms, he made no discrimination among all objects. And, as space extends everywhere, he entered all lands with equanimity. His body forever sat omnipresent, in all sites of enlightenment. Among the host of enlightening beings, his awesome light shone clearly, like the sun emerging, illuminating the world. The Ocean of myriad virtues which he practiced in all times was thoroughly pure, and he constantly demonstrated the production of all the Buddha lands, their boundless forms and spheres of light extending throughout the entire cosmos equally and impartially.

He expounded all truths, like spreading great clouds. Each of his hair tips was able to contain all worlds without interference, in each manifesting immeasurable spiritual powers, teaching and civilizing all sentient beings. His body extended throughout the ten directions, yet without coming or going. His knowledge entered into all forms and realized the emptiness of things. All the miraculous displays of the Buddhas of past, present, and future, were all seen in his light, and all the adornments of inconceivable eons were revealed.

There were great enlightening beings, numerous as the atoms in Ten Buddha Worlds, surrounding him. There names were: Universally Good (Samantabahadra), Light of the Supreme Lamp of Universal Virtue, Lion Banner of Universal Light, Subtle Light of Flames of Universal Jewels, Banner of Oceans of Qualities of Universal Sounds, Realm of Enlightenment of Radiance of Universal Knowledge, Banner of Flowers of a topknot of Universal Jewels, Pleasing Voice of Universal Awareness, Light of Inexhaustible Virtue of Universal Purity, Mark of Universal Light, Great Brilliance of the Light of the Moon Reflected in the Ocean, Undefiled Treasury of Light of Oceans of Cloud-Like Sounds, Born of Wisdom and Adorned with Virtue, Great Light of Sovereign Virtue, Brave Lotus Topknot, Sun Banner of Clouds of Universal Knowledge, Greatly Persevering with Indestructible Courage, Light Banner of Fragrant Flames, Deep Beautiful Sound of Great Enlightened Virtue, Born of Wisdom with the Light of Great Virtue. These and Others were the leaders-there were as many as there are atoms in ten Buddha Worlds.

These enlightening beings had all in the past accumulated roots of goodness along with Vairocana Buddha and were all Born from the oceans of roots of goodness of the Buddha. They had already fulfilled the various means of transcendence, and their wisdom eye was thoroughly clear. They observed all times with impartiality. They were thoroughly purified in all states of concentration. Their eloquence was oceanic, extensive and inexhaustible. They possessed the qualities of Buddhahood, were dignified and honorable. They knew the faculties of sentient beings, and taught them according to potential and necessity. They entered into the matrix of the Cosmos, their knowledge was non-discriminatory; they experienced the liberation of the Buddhas, exceedingly deep and immensely vast. They were able to enter into one stage, according to technical expediency, yet maintain the virtues of all stages, supported by the ocean of all vows, always accompanied by wisdom, throughout the future. They had thoroughly comprehended the rarely attained, vast secret realm of all Buddhas. They were familiar with the equal teachings of all Buddhas; they were already treading the Buddha’s ground of universal light. They entered the doors of boundless oceans of concentrations. They manifested bodies in all places and participated in worldly activities. Their memory power was enormous, and they assembled the ocean of all the teachings. With intelligence, eloquence, and skill, they turned the wheel, which never turns back. The vast ocean of virtuous qualities of all Buddhas entered entirely into their bodies. They went willingly to all the lands in which there were Buddhas. They had already made offerings to all Buddhas, over boundless eons, joyfully and tirelessly. In all places, when the Buddhas attained enlightenment, they were always there, approaching them and associating with them, never giving up. Always, by means of the vows of universal goodness and wisdom, they caused the wisdom body of all sentient beings to be fulfilled. They had perfected innumerable such virtues.

All of them had constantly invoked great vows over countless past eons, vowing to always draw near to and serve the Buddhas. Their practices in accord with their vows had already reached fulfillment and they had reached the other shore. They had accumulated boundless pure good works. They had clearly arrived at all the realms of meditative absorption, and had attained spiritual powers. They dwelled wherever a Buddha was, and entered into the realm of inconceivable liberation; taking their place in the assembly, their dignified light stood out. They manifested their bodies according to the needs of sentient beings and thereby pacified them. Wherever there were manifestations of Buddhas, they all went there magically. Wherever the Buddhas dwelt, they always diligently guarded and protected the place.

The Multiple Body Spirit Ubiquitous Shepard found the door of liberation manifesting adornments in the Palaces of all world leaders. The Multiple Body Spirit Immutable Light found the door of liberation embracing all sentient beings and causing them to produce pure roots of goodness.

At that time the Multiple Body Spirit Realm of Pure Joy empowered by the Buddha, looked over all the multiple body spirits and said,

I remember, countless eons ago,  
A Buddha, Sublime Light appeared in the world;  
This world honored one in the presence of that Buddha  
Vowed to attain enlightenment and served all Buddhas.

Buddhas body emits great light,  
Which fills the entire cosmos;  
When beings encounter it, their minds are subdued:  
This is seen by illuminating all directions.

Buddhas voice makes all countries tremble.  
Every sphere of sound  
Awakes all beings without exception:  
Conqueror, hearing, rejoices at heart.

The Buddha Body is pure, ever calm,  
Manifesting all forms, yet without any signs,  
Abiding this way everywhere in the world,  
This is the approach of Pure Flowers.

The Guide is so inconceivable,  
causing all to see according to their minds–  
sometimes sitting, or walking, or standing:  
Infinite Dignified Postures understands this.

A Buddha is hard to meet even in a million eons–  
He appears in the world to give help freely,  
Causing beings to be free from the pains of destitution:  
Here is where Supreme Light Array enters.

Each of the Buddhas teeth  
Emits blazing clouds of light, as from a fragrant lamp  
Destroying the Illusions of all sentient beings:  
Undefiled Clouds sees in this way.

Beings’ attachments and delusions are multiple barriers–  
They follow demons in their ways, always involved in routines;  
Buddha shows them the way to liberation:  
Guardian Sustainer can understand this.

I see the independent power of Buddha,  
His light filling the universe;  
In royal palaces he edifies beings.  
This is the realm of the Ubiquitous One.

Beings are deluded, full of miseries–  
Buddha is in their midst, always saving,  
Causing delusions to vanish and joy to abound:  
This is what’s seen by Immutable Light.

Furthermore, the Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Demigod of Wonderful Form found the door of liberation seeing the Buddha manifest a body of infinite physical forms. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Banner of Swiftness of the Sun found the door of liberation of each hair of the Buddha Body radiating clouds of various light beams, like the sun. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Light of the Flowers of the Polar Mountain found the door of liberation of great mystic powers manifesting innumerable bodies. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Pure sound of Clouds found the door of liberation of infinite sounds corresponding to all species. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Great Armed God found the door of liberation appearing as the leader in all worlds and awakening sentient beings. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Delightful Light found the door of liberation revealing all the different aspects of the Buddhas teachings. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Sound of Thunder and Great Trees found the door of liberation bringing together all the Tree Spirits with Delightful Ornaments. The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Lion King Light found the door of liberation fulfilling and clearly understanding the Buddhas vast array of blessings.

The Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Lotus Jewel Topknot found the door of liberation showering everywhere the Jewel Topknot’s Adorning all sentient beings.

At that the Thunderbolt Bearing Spirit Demi God of Wonderful Form, empowered by the Buddha, said in verse,

Observe the King of Truth–  
The teaching of the King of Truth is thus.  
His physical forms have no bounds,  
Manifesting throughout the world.

Each of the Buddhas hairs  
Is an inconceivable act of light,  
Like the clear orb of the sun  
Illuminating all Lands.

The Spiritual Powers of the Buddha  
Pervade the entire cosmos–  
In the presence of all sentient beings,  
He manifests infinite bodies.

The Sound of the Buddhas teaching  
Is heard in all quarters;  
According to the type of being,  
He satisfies all their minds.

The masses see the Honored Sage  
In the palace of the World  
For the sake of all the living  
Expounding the Great Teaching.

In the whirlpool of the Ocean of Truth,  
With all kinds of different doctrines,  
Various appropriate techniques,  
He teaches without end.

Those boundless great techniques  
Respond to all the lands;  
Those who meet the Buddhas Light  
All see the Buddha Body.

Having served all the Buddhas,  
Many as atoms in a billion lands,  
His virtue is as vast as space,  
Looked up to by all.

His mystical power is impartial,  
Appearing in all lands;  
While sitting at rest in the Sublime Enlightenment Site  
He appears before all sentient beings.

Blazing Clouds Illuminating All  
With Various Spheres of Light  
Extending throughout the universe,  
Showing where the Buddha acts.

Furthermore, The Enlightening Being Universally Good entered into the ocean of techniques and inconceivable doors of liberation and entered into the ocean of virtues of the Buddha. That is to say, there was a Door of Liberation called Purifying all Buddha Lands, Pacifying the Sentient beings and causing them all to be ultimately emancipated. There was a door of Liberation called Going to All Realms of Complete Virtues cultivated by all the Buddhas. There was a door of Liberation called the Great Ocean of Vows defining the stages of all enlightening beings. There was a door of Liberation called Everywhere manifesting infinite bodies numerous as atoms in the cosmos. There was a door of Liberation called explaining an inconceivable number of different names throughout all lands. There was a door of Liberation called showing all the boundless realms of enlightening beings psychic powers in all atoms. There was a door of Liberation named showing the events of the formation and decay of the ages of past, present, and future in the space of an instant.

There was a door of Liberation named ability to make various bodies appear by mystic powers all throughout the boundless cosmos. There was a door of Liberation called showing the processes of all enlightening beings practices, entering into the great techniques of universal knowledge.

At that time, The Enlightening Being Universally Good by virtue of his own accomplishment, and also receiving the spiritual power of the Buddha, having looked over the ocean of all the assemblies spoke these verses,

The immense, vast fields adorned by the Buddha  
Are equal in number to all atoms;  
pure children of Buddha fill them all,  
Raining the inconceivable, most sublime teaching.

As in this assembly we see the Buddha sitting,  
So it is also in every atom;  
The Buddha body has no coming or going,  
And clearly appears in all the lands there are.

Demonstrating the Practices Cultivated by enlightening beings  
The various techniques of innumerable approaches to their stages  
Expounding as well the inconceivable truth,  
He causes the Buddha Children to enter the realm of reality.

Producing Phantom Buddhas numerous as atoms  
Corresponding to the inclinations of all beings minds,  
The expedient doors into the profound realm of truth,  
Boundlessly Vast, all he expounds.

The Buddhas names are equal to the worlds,  
Filling all lands in the ten directions;  
None of his methods are employed in vain:  
He tames sentient beings and purifies all.

The Buddha, in every atom,  
Displays infinite great mystic powers–  
Sitting in each on the enlightenment site,  
He speaks of past Buddhas enlightening deeds.

All immense eons of past, present, and future,  
Buddha reveals in every instant–  
All the events of their formation and decay  
His inconceivable knowledge comprehends.

The congregation of Buddhas Children is endlessly vast;  
But though they try together to fathom Buddha state  
The teaching of the Buddhas have no bounds–  
To thoroughly know them all is most difficult.

Buddhas like space, without discrimination,  
Equal to the real cosmos, with no resting place,  
Phantom Manifestations Circulate Everywhere,  
All sitting on enlightenment sites attaining true awareness.

Buddha teaches widely, with wonderful voice–  
All stages of enlightenment are thoroughly clear  
Appearing before each sentient being,  
He gives all the Buddhas equal truth.

Furthermore the enlightening being Sublime Light of Pure Virtue, the Great Spiritual Hero found the door of liberation going to all assemblies of enlightening beings in the ten directions and adorning the sites of enlightenment. The enlightening being Light of the Supreme Lamp of Universal Virtue found the door of liberation in a single instant showing endless entrances to attainment of true awakening, teaching and developing inconceivable worlds of sentient beings. The enlightening being Lion Banner of Universal Light found the door of liberation cultivating the enlightening beings adornments of blessings and virtue, producing all Buddha Lands.

The enlightening being Universal Supreme Light found the door of liberation able to manifest the spheres of all Buddhas within the formless realm of truth.

At that time the enlightening Being Sublime Light of Pure Virtue, the spiritual hero, empowered by the Buddha, looked over the ocean of liberation doors of all the enlightening beings and said in verse,

All lands there be in the ten directions  
Are beautified and Purified all in an instant,  
By the Sublime Voice turning the wheel of truth  
Throughout the world, without an equal.

The realm of the Buddha has no bounds–  
In an instant the cosmos is filled;  
In every atom he sets up an enlightenment site,  
Proving enlightenment in all creating mystic displays.

Buddha cultivated practices in the past  
Extending through countless eons  
Adorning all Buddha Fields,  
Appearing unhindered, like space.

The Buddhas spiritual powers are unlimited,  
Filling the boundless reaches of all time–  
Even if one spent countless eons constantly observing,  
One would never be weary or jaded.

Observe the realms of Buddha’s mystic power–  
All lands in all quarters are beautifully pure:  
He appears therein in every one,  
Instantaneously Changing, in infinite forms.

If you observe the Buddha for countless ages  
You won’t apprehend even the extent of one Hair–  
The Buddha’s boundless doors of Techniques  
Illumine inconceivably many fields.

Buddha, in past ages in the world,  
Served an infinite ocean of Buddhas;  
Therefore all beings are like River Rapids  
Coming to make offerings to the World Honored One.

The Buddha appears everywhere,  
In infinite lands in each atom  
The realms therein being all infinite too;  
In all he abides for endless eons.

Buddha of Yore for the sake of all beings  
Cultivated an ocean of boundless compassion,  
Entering Birth and Death along with all beings,  
Teaching the Masses, Making them Pure.

Buddhas abide in the Matrix of the Cosmos of Real Thus-ness–  
Sign-less, Formless, Free from all taints.  
When beings observe Buddha’s various Bodies,  
All their troubles and pains then dissolve.

Furthermore, the enlightening being Great Brilliance of the Moon Reflected in the Ocean, the Great Spiritual Hero, found the door of liberation producing the means of transcendence pertaining to each stage of enlightenment thereby edifying sentient beings and purifying all Buddha lands. The Enlightening Being Undefiled Treasury of Light of Oceans of Cloudlike Sounds found the door of liberation in every instant of awareness entering into the various distinctions of all objective realms. The enlightening being Topknot born of Wisdom found the door of liberation revealing pure great virtues to all sentient beings when they first arrive at the site of enlightenment. The enlightening being Brave Lotus Topknot found the door of liberation revealing all the Buddha Teachings to sentient beings in accord with their infinite faculties and understandings.

The Enlightening Being Born of Wisdom with the light of Great Virtue found the door of liberation revealing the most profound realm of the Buddha, which pervades the cosmos.

At that time the enlightening being Great Brilliance of the Moon reflected in the Ocean, Empowered by the Buddha, observed the ocean of arrays of all the hosts of enlightening beings, and said in verse,

The transcendent means and the stages of enlightenment,  
Vast, inconceivable, are all fulfilled:  
Infinite sentient beings subdued and harmonized,  
All Buddha Lands are Pure.

As Buddha teaches in the worlds of beings,  
All lands in the ten directions are filled:  
In an instant of thought he turns the wheel of truth  
Accommodating it to all states of mind.

Buddha, over countless vast eons,  
Has appeared everywhere before sentient beings;  
According to his past cultivation,  
He shows his purified realm of action.

I see everywhere in all directions  
And see the Buddhas showing Mystic Powers  
All sitting in Sanctuaries Realizing Enlightenment  
Surrounded by Listening Crowds.

The Immense Radiance of Buddhas Reality Body  
Can Appear in the World through Expedient Means  
According with the inclinations of all beings minds  
Raining the teachings to suit their faculties.

The impartial, sign-less body of true Suchness  
The Pure Reality Body of Untainted Light  
With Knowledge and Calm, with innumerable bodies  
He preaches the truth, adapting to all.

The Powers of the King of Truth are all Pure  
His knowledge and Wisdom like Space, unbounded;  
He reveals all without any concealment.  
Causing all beings to be enlightened.

In accord with what Buddha Cultivated  
Up to his perfection of all knowledge  
Now he radiates light through the cosmos  
Showing it all therein.

Buddha shows mystic powers through his original vow,  
Illuminating all in the Ten Directions;  
What the Buddha Practiced of Yore,  
All is expounded in these networks of light.

There is no end of worlds in all directions.  
No Equals, No Bounds, Each one distinct.  
Buddhas Unhindered Power Emits a great light  
Clearly revealing all of those lands.

At that time the Buddhas Lion Seat, It’s round platform of exquisite flowers of many jewels, it’s base, steps, doors, and all of its embellishments, each produced as many great enlightening beings as there are atoms in a Buddha Land. There Names were Oceanic Wisdom, Sovereign King of Occult Powers; Thunder Shaking All; Topknot of Lights of Many Jewels; Bold Intelligence of the Son of Knowledge; Seal of Knowledge made of Jewels of Inconceivable Qualities; Hundred Eye Lotus Topknot; Light Spheres of Golden Flames; Universal Sound of the Cosmos; Cloud Sound Pure Moon; Banner of Light of Benevolent Courage: These were the leaders, and there were as many of them as atoms in many Buddha Lands.

At the same time as they appeared, these enlightening beings each produced clouds of various offerings: For example, clouds of flowers of all jewels, clouds of all subtle fragrances of Lotus Blossoms, Clouds of orbs of jewel lights, clouds of fragrant flames of boundless realms, clouds of jewel like light spheres from the treasury of the sun, clouds of all pleasing musical sounds, clouds of flames of light from all jewel lamps, with boundless colors and forms, clouds of branches, flowers, and fruits from trees of many jewels, clouds of regal jewels with inexhaustible pure radiance, clouds of all the finest decorative gems; there were as many such clouds of various offerings as there are atoms in a Buddha World. Each of these enlightening beings produced such clouds of offerings unceasingly, raining on the oceanic assemblies at all enlightenment sites.

Having manifested these clouds, they circled the Buddha to the right, circling him countless hundreds of thousands of times. In whatever direction they came from, there, not far from the Buddha, they magically produced innumerable Lotus Lion Seats of various Jewels, and each sat cross legged thereon.

The spheres of actions of these enlightening beings were pure and vast as the sea. They had attained the state of universality of illumination of knowledge and wisdom. Following the Buddhas, They were unhindered in their actions. They were able to enter the ocean of all principles of discernment and elucidation, and had mastered the teaching of inconceivable liberation. They dwelt in the state of all sided-ness of the Buddhas. They had already mastered all techniques of concentration formulae, and were able to contain the ocean of all the teachings. They dwelt in the stage of equanimous knowledge of past, present, and future. They had attained the immense joy of profound faith. Their boundless stores of blessings were most pure. They observed everywhere in space throughout the cosmos. They diligently made offerings to all Buddhas appearing in any land in all worlds.

At that time, the enlightening being Oceanic Wisdom, Sovereign King of Occult Powers, the great spiritual hero, empowered by the Buddha, surveyed the oceans of masses at the scene of enlightenment and said in verse,

Buddha knows what all Buddhas have realized–  
Unhindered as space he illumines all,  
His light pervading countless lands everywhere.  
He sits amidst the hosts all magnificently pure.

The Buddhas virtues cannot be measured;  
They fill all the Cosmos in every direction.  
Sitting under every enlightenment tree,  
All the Great Powers Assemble like Clouds.

Buddha has such spiritual powers,  
Manifesting infinite forms at once.  
The Buddhas sphere is beyond bounds–  
Individuals see according to their liberation.

Buddha passed oceans of eons  
Working in all realms of being  
Teaching Creatures by various means,  
Having them accept and practice enlightening ways.

Vairochana replete with magnificent refinements,  
Sits on a Lotus Bank Lion Seat.  
All the assembled Hosts are Pure;  
Silently all gaze in Respect.

The Banks of Jewels Radiate Light,  
Emitting boundless clouds of fragrant flames;  
Countless Flower Garlands are draped around  
On Such a Seat does the Buddha Sit.

Various adornments decorate its glorious facades  
Constantly Emitting Lamp-Like Clouds of Fragrant Flames,  
Immensely Vast, Blazing, Illumining All.  
The Sage sits upon Supreme Embellishments.

Beautiful Windows of Various Jewels,  
Draped with Lotuses of Exquisite Gems,  
Always producing Sublime Sounds delighting all hearers,  
Thereon Buddha sits, most Radiant of all.

A Jewel Crescent Supports the Seat Shaped like a half moon;  
Diamond is it’s pedestal, its color blazing bright;  
Enlightening Beings constantly circle it  
Buddha is the most radiant among them.

His various mystic displays fill the ten directions.  
Expounding the far-reaching vows of the enlightened one.  
All reflected images appear therein;  
It is on such a seat the Buddha calmly sits.

At that time the great enlightening being Thunder Shaking All, empowered by the Buddha, Looked over all the assembled hosts and said,

Buddha accumulated enlightenment practices,  
Making offerings to infinite Buddhas everywhere.  
Sustained by the power of the Enlightened One  
None do not see him on his seat.

Jewels of fragrant flames, fulfilling all wishes,  
Encrust the Buddha’s flower lion throne;  
Various adornments, all appearing as reflections,  
Are clearly seen by all the hosts.

Buddhas throne displays magnificent forms;  
Instant to instant their colors and types each differ.  
According to the Differences in Beings’ Understandings  
Each sees the Buddha thereupon.

Jewel Branches hanging down, Webs of Lotus Flowers  
As the flowers open, enlightening beings emerge.  
Each producing sublime, pleasing voices.  
Praising the Buddha on his throne.

Buddhas virtues are extensive as space–  
All adornments are born from them.  
The embellishing features of each particular state  
No sentient beings can comprehend.

Diamond is the ground, indestructible.  
Vast, Pure, Level, and Even.  
Nets of Pearls hang in the sky.  
All around the enlightenment tree.

The infinite colors of the ground are all distinct;  
Gold dust is spread all around,  
Flowers and jewels strewn about,  
All beautifying Buddha’s throne.

Earth spirits dance with joy,  
With infinite manifestations in an instant,  
Creating clouds of adornments everywhere,  
While remaining reverently gazing at Buddha.

Jewel Lamps, immensely large, shining extremely bright,  
Fragrant Flames and swirling light never ending,  
These manifestations differ according to the time.  
Earth spirits make offerings of these.

All the adornments existing.  
In every single land  
Appear at this enlightenment scene  
By the mystic power of Buddha.

Then the great enlightening being Jewel Light Topknot empowered by the Buddha, surveyed the Oceanic Masses at the site of enlightenment and said,

When the Buddha was cultivating practice in the past,  
He saw the various Buddha Lands, all fully complete.  
The lands he saw this way were endless:  
All of them appear at this enlightenment scene.

The Buddhas enormous spiritual power  
Sheds light showering gems everywhere  
This treasury of jewels is scattered over the sight  
Beautifying the ground all around.

Buddhas blessings and mystical powers  
Adorn everywhere with precious gemstones;  
The ground and the enlightenment tree  
Alternately emit light and sound expressing the truth.

Precious lamps, infinite, rain from the sky,  
Studded with regal sapphires,  
All emitting subtle sounds speaking truth:  
This, the earth spirits cause to appear.

The Jewel Ground manifests ubiquitous clouds of light  
Jewel Lamps blaze bright as lightning  
Jewel nets hung afar cover above.  
Jewel boughs variously draped make decorations.

Look over the entire ground–  
Adorned with various beautiful jewels.  
It shows beings the ocean of actions,  
Causing them to comprehend the real nature of things.

The enlightenment trees in all the spheres  
Of all the Buddhas everywhere  
All appear at the enlightenment site,  
Expounding the Buddhas pure teaching.

In accord with the inclinations of beings’ minds,  
The ground produces wonderful sounds,  
Conforming to what the Buddha would preach at his seat,  
Each of the teachings fully explained.

The ground constantly produces subtle fragrant light;  
In the light are chanted pure clear sounds;  
If any beings are able to receive the teaching,  
It causes them to hear, and their afflictions vanish.

Each adornment is fully complete.  
And could not be described in a million years.  
The Buddhas mystic power extends everywhere;  
That’s why the ground is beautifully pure.

Then the great enlightening being Bold Intelligence of the Sun of Knowledge, empowered by the Buddha, looked over all the multitudes assembled on the scene and said in verse,

Buddha sits in the hall of truth with steady gaze  
Brilliantly lighting up the palace.  
In accordance with the dispositions of all beings  
His body appears throughout all lands.

The Buddhas palace is beyond conception,  
Adorned with stores of precious jewels,  
Each decorations shining with light;  
Sitting there, the Buddha is most conspicuous of all.

With pillars of jewels of various hews,  
Chimes of real gold hanging like clouds,  
Jewel Stairways in rows on four sides,  
The gates open in every direction.

Arrays of banners of flowery silk,  
Jewel trees with decorated branches and boughs,  
Garlands of pearls draped on all sides  
The Ocean of Wisdom sits calmly therein.

Nets of jewels, exquisite fragrant banners  
Brilliant Lamps hung like clouds  
Covered with various decorations,  
The world transcending true knower sits within.

Everywhere he manifests clouds of mystic displays  
Those clouds teaching throughout the world  
Harmonizing and calming down all sentient beings:  
All this appears from the Buddhas Palace.

Trees of gems bloom with fine flowers.  
Having no peer in all the world;  
The embellishments of the lands of all times  
Reveal their reflections therein.

Everywhere there are heaps of jewels;  
There light blazes in countless hews.  
Gates and doors open at intervals all around;  
The beams and ceiling are especially beautiful.

The Buddha’s palace is inconceivable;  
Its pure radiance contains every form–  
In it appears all palaces,  
A Buddha sitting in each.

The Buddha’s Palace is boundless;  
The naturally awakened one abides therein.  
All the masses from all ten directions  
Come gather around the Buddha.

Then the great enlightening being Seal Of Knowledge Made Of Jewels Of Inconceivable Qualities empowered by the Buddha, looked over all the oceans of Beings gathered at the scene of enlightenment, and said in verse,

The Buddha cultivated an ocean of blessings,  
Many as the atoms in all lands;  
Produced by the powers of his mind and will,  
The enlightenment sight is pure, without any taint.

Wish fulfilling jewels are the roots of the trees  
Diamond are their trunks  
Nets of Jewels cover them  
And a rich fragrance surrounds.

The tree branches are adorned by all kinds of gems,  
The limbs are of precious stone soaring high;  
The branches and twigs hang thickly, like heavy clouds:  
Underneath sits Buddha on the enlightenment site.

The sight of enlightenment is unthinkably vast:  
The trees surround it covering it all;  
The dense foliage and luxurious flowers mutually cover and reflect,  
While in the flowers grow gemstone fruits.

From among all the branches emanate beautiful lights  
Illuminating the whole enlightenment scene;  
Pure, bright, inexhaustible,  
This appears by the power of Buddha’s vows.

Banks of precious stones are the flowers,  
Reflections shining like patterned clouds;  
The encircling trees perfume all around:  
The enlightenment sites adorned everywhere.

See in the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment  
Lotuses and Jewel Nets, all pure;  
Flames of light in whirls appear from here,  
Music of bells and chimes comes from the clouds.

All the wonderfully adorned trees  
Existing in all lands  
Appear in the enlightenment tree;  
Buddha, beneath it, sheds all defilement.

The site of enlightenment is made of vast blessings;  
The tree branches rain jewels without end.  
In the jewels appear enlightening beings,  
Going everywhere to serve the Buddhas.

The realm of the Buddhas in inconceivable;  
They cause all the trees there to produce music–  
In accord with the enlightened way developed by the Buddha,  
The host of beings, hearing the music can see it all.

Then the great enlightening being Hundred Eyes Lotus Topknot, empowered by the Buddha, surveyed all the assemblies at the scene of enlightenment and said,

All the jewels emit wondrous sounds  
Extolling the names of Buddhas of all times,  
The deeds of those Buddhas’ mystical powers  
Can all be viewed in this enlightenment scene.

Flowers bloom in profusion, like parti-colored cloth;  
Clouds of light flow in all directions:  
The spirits of Enlightenment trees bring these to the Buddha,  
With single-minded devotion making offerings of them.

Flames of jewel light all form banners;  
From the banners burst forth sublime fragrances,  
The fragrances perfuming all the congregations–  
Therefore the place is all beautifully pure.

Lotuses hang down, with light of golden hue,  
The light intoning clouds of Buddha’s wondrous voice  
Covering all the lands in all directions,  
Extinguishing the fires of sentient beings’ torments.

The independent power of Enlightenment Tree King  
Constantly radiates light extremely pure;  
The assembled masses in the ten directions have no bounds,  
Yet all of them appear reflected in the enlightenment scene.

The light flames of the jewel branches are like bright lamps;  
Their light emanates sound declaring the great vow–  
What the Buddha practiced of yore in all states of being  
Is fully expounded therein.

Under the tree are spirits, as many as atoms in the land,  
All staying together at this enlightenment site,  
Each before the Buddha’s enlightenment tree  
Continuously expounding the liberation doors.

Buddha practiced many deeds of yore,  
Making offerings to all the enlightened:  
His practices as well as his fame  
All appear within the jewels.

Everything in the scene produces wonderful sound–  
The sound is vast, pervading the ten directions;  
If any beings can hear the teaching,  
It civilizes them and makes them pure.

The Buddha in the past cultivated  
Infinite embellishments, all;  
All the adornments, innumerable kinds,  
Of every enlightenment tree.

Then the great Enlightening Being Light Spheres of Golden Flames empowered by the Buddha, looked over all the assemblies at the scene of enlightenment and said,

Buddha cultivated enlightening practices,  
Comprehending all things,  
Clarifying the true and the false;  
This is the Buddha’s first power of knowledge.

As in the past he observed the nature of all things equally,  
He clarified the oceans of all doings:  
Thus now, in the nets of light  
He can tell it all throughout all quarters.

In past eons he developed great techniques  
For guiding beings according to their faculties  
Causing all their minds to be pure;  
Thus was the Buddha able to perfect the knowledge of potentials.

As the understanding of sentient beings is not the same,  
And their inclinations and actions are different,  
He teaches them according to their needs:  
Buddha can do this by his powers of knowledge.

Comprehending the Oceans of Lands in all Directions,  
All the worlds of beings they contain,  
Buddha’s Knowledge is Equanimous, like space:  
All he can show within a pore.

Buddha knows the outcome of all acts,  
Comprehending past, present, and future instantly;  
The Lands, Ages, Beings, and Times of all regions:  
All he can reveal and make clear.

Meditation states, Liberations, and Powers are boundless,  
And so are trances and other techniques:  
Buddha shows them all to beings, gladdening them,  
Causing all to wash away the darkness of afflictions.

Buddhas knowledge is unhindered, comprehending all times;  
All he shows in an instant, in his hair pores:  
The Buddha’s teachings, lands, and sentient beings:  
All these appear from his recollective power.

Buddha’s Eye is as Vast as Space;  
He sees the entire cosmos.  
In the unimpeded state, with unequaled function,  
All Buddhas can tell of this eye.

All sentient beings are totally bound;  
All their intoxications and habits  
Buddha causes to be removed by his methods,  
Appearing throughout the world.

Then the great enlightening being Universal Sound of the Cosmos, empowered by the Buddha, looked over the assembled beings at the site of enlightenment and said,

The Buddha’s awesome spiritual powers pervade the ten directions,  
Their grandiose displays making no discrimination;  
The transcendent means, enlightening practices  
Fulfilled in the past—all they show.

Of old he conceived compassion for beings  
And practiced transcendent generosity,  
Wherefore his body is most sublime,  
Gladdening all who see.

In boundless eons past  
He cultivated transcendent self-control,  
So acquired a pure body all-pervading,  
Extinguishing the various torments of the world.

He cultivated patience and tolerance, pure,  
Faithful to truth, without discrimination;  
So his physical form is perfect,  
Shedding light in all directions.

He strove for boundless eons past,  
Able to overthrow the barriers of sentient beings;  
Therefore he can emanate bodies in all directions,  
All appearing under enlightenment trees.

Buddha practiced, for long, long eons,  
Oceans of meditations, all of them pure;  
Thus he delights his beholders,  
Removing all taint of afflictions.

Buddha mastered the ocean of practices,  
Fulfilling transcendent wisdom;  
Therefore he sheds light illumining all,  
Destroying the darkness of ignorance.

Edifying beings by various means  
He causes their practice to succeed;  
Traveling everywhere in the ten directions  
For endless eons, he never rests.

Buddha practiced for boundless eons  
Purifying and mastering transcendent vows;  
Therefore he appears throughout the world  
Saving beings forever and ever.

Buddha cultivated extensively for countless eons  
Transcendent power to deal with all truth;  
He has thus perfected natural power,  
Appearing throughout all truths.

Buddha cultivated all sided knowledge;  
The nature of his omniscience is like space:  
Therefore he has unhindered power  
Illuminating all lands in the ten directions.

Then the great enlightening being Cloud Sound Pure Moon empowered by the Buddha looked over all the beings gathered at the enlightenment site and said,

The realm of his spiritual powers is equal to space  
No beings do not perceive them  
The stages he perfected in his past practice  
Are fully explained in the Jewels.

Striving purely for countless eons  
He entered the first stage, that of extreme joy  
Producing the vast knowledge of the cosmos  
He saw countless Buddhas of the ten directions

In the stage of purity amidst all things  
He observed standards of purity numerous as beings  
Having practiced extensively for many eons  
He served the boundless ocean of Buddhas

Accumulating virtue in the stage of radiance  
His store of calm was firm and enduring  
The vast cloud of teachings he had already learned  
So it is told in the Gemstone Fruits.

The incomparable stage of clear intellect like an ocean of flames  
Comprehending situations, he gave rise to compassion  
With an equal physical presence in all lands  
These accomplishments of the Buddha are all expounded.

Universal Store of Equanimity—The difficult to conquer stage  
According with action and stillness, without contradiction  
The realm of the Buddhist Teaching is completely impartial  
How the Buddha Purified it, the jewels can tell.

Far reaching practice—The stage of oceanic wisdom,  
Totally comprehending all aspects of the teachings,  
Appearing in all lands like space:  
The voice of these teachings comes from the trees.

The body of space, pervading the cosmos,  
The lamp of wisdom, shining on all beings,  
All practical methods completely purified:  
His past long journey he causes to be told.

Adorned by execution of all vows,  
Infinite oceans of lands are all pure;  
Undisturbed by any discrimination,  
This pear-less stage is fully explained

Mystic powers of infinite scope  
Enter the illuminating power of the teachings;  
This pure stage of beneficent wisdom  
And it’s eons of practice are fully revealed.

The Far Reaching tenth stage of clouds of teaching  
Engulfs everything, pervading all space;  
The realm of the Buddha is told in the voice  
This voice is the Buddha’s spiritual power

Then the great enlightening being Banner of Light of Benevolent Courage, Empowered by the Buddha, surveyed the ten directions and said,

Innumerable sentient beings are in the congregation;  
Their various minds of faith are all Pure;  
All can enter into understanding of Buddha’s Wisdom  
And understand all states which adorn it.

Each initiates pure vows and puts them into practice;  
All have made offerings to innumerable beings  
They are able to see the real true body of Buddha  
As well as all his mystical displays.

Some can see the Buddha’s reality body  
Incomparable, unhindered, pervading everywhere:  
The nature of all the infinity of things  
Is in that Body completely.

Some see the Buddha’s sublime body of form  
Its boundless physical characteristics blazing with light;  
According to the different understandings of various beings  
It transforms into various appearances, everywhere.

Some see the body of Unobstructed knowledge  
Equal in all times, like space;  
According to the changes in beings inclinations  
It causes them to see all kinds of differences.

Some can understand the Buddhas voice  
Pervading all lands in the ten directions;  
According to sentient beings abilities to understand,  
It produces verbal sounds for them without any hindrance.

Some see the Buddha’s various lights  
Variously shining throughout the world,  
And some see too in the Buddhas light,  
Buddhas displaying their mystic power.

Some see Buddhas oceans of clouds of light  
Issuing from his pores of radiant hues  
Showing the paths he practiced of yore,  
Causing beings to deeply believe and enter Buddha’s knowledge.

Some see the Buddha’s adorning marks and blessings  
And see where the blessings come from  
The oceans of transcendent means he practiced of old  
Are clearly seen in the Buddhas marks.

Buddhas qualities cannot be measured:  
They fill the cosmos, without any bounds  
These and the ranges of psychic powers  
These beings can expound through Buddhas power.

Then the ocean of worlds of arrays of flower banks, by the power of the Buddha, all shook in six ways, in eighteen manners: That is, they trembled, trembled all over, trembled all over in all directions; they welled up, welled up all over, welled up all over in all directions; they surged, surged all over, surged all over in all directions; they quaked, quaked all over, quaked all over in all directions; they roared, roared all over, roared all over in all directions; they crashed, crashed all over, crashed all over in all directions.

These various world leaders each caused clouds of inconceivable offerings to appear, raining on the ocean of beings at the site of enlightenment: clouds of ornaments of all fragrant flowers; clouds and decorations of all precious stones; clouds of flower nets of all jewel flames; clouds of spheres of light of jewels of boundless varieties; clouds of treasuries of pearls of all colors; clouds of all precious sandalwood scents; clouds of canopies made of all kinds of precious substances, clouds of diamonds with pure resonance, clouds of necklaces of jewels shining like the sun; clouds of banks of lights of all gemstones; clouds of all sorts of decorations. These clouds of adornments where infinite, inconceivably numerous. These world leaders each produced such clouds of offerings, showering upon the ocean of beings at the Buddhas site of enlightenment, all reaching everywhere.

As in this world, the World Leaders joyfully produced such offerings, so did all the world leaders in all worlds of the ocean of worlds of arrays of flowers banks make such offerings. In each of their worlds there was a Buddha sitting on the site of enlightenment. The individual world leaders various resolutions of faith, foci of concentration, methods of meditation, practice of methods assisting enlightenment, accomplishments, joys, approaches, understandings of the teachings, access to the realm of Buddhas spiritual powers, access to the realms of Buddhas abilities, entryways into the Buddhas liberation, were the same as in the Flower Bank ocean of worlds in all the ocean of worlds in the entire space of the whole cosmos.

In love with Taiji

Like a fire Phoenix,  
Reborn from eternal spirits.  
Power from foot,  
Give me new perfect strength.

Like a dragon stone,  
Sinking into a magic ocean.  
Aware the gravity,  
Fall free to have no tension.

Like the joyful river horse,  
Running smoothly each step.  
Laser light centre,  
Flow all energy in one dance.

Like the timeless cloud artists,  
Create unlimited motion through wind.  
Balloon dragon breathe,  
Steam all my inner Chi into space.

Yin changes into Yang, Yang moves become Yin  
The utmost power of opposite force as one – Taiji.

The hidden circles illusion guided by my intuition, appears from no-I moving meditation into wisdom love motion of perfect self-being creation.

### Thinking, not-thinking, not not-thinking

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
Life meditation – Willing Heart – “Not-thinking, not Not-thinking.”

Not thinking  
Not thinking about I and mine. Describes ego in two ways  
Not not thinking  
Directly aware spiritual intention  
Together  
Unite your power to directly live with pure willing heart.

In life when we think, we always do it through ego: I and my. What is good for me, what do I want what do I need and then what do I get, what belong to me, what kind of relationship to do with me?

So our thinking power is always limited in I and my ego.

It is the process of constantly changing, and also constantly searching for same subject: I and my.

It doesn’t mean you can’t think,

Not, not-thinking

Actually talk about philosophy is not for thinking only. So not to only think. Because in life you still have to aware. If your not aware you cause a lot of danger and trouble for yourself.

Purify yourself aware eternal truth of philosophy will not change by any angle, time or space. Becaue it is complete truth and you don’t want to aware of it then you are blind, cause more trouble for yourself. So you do have to aware of the eternal truth.

So not, Not-thinking means you do have to be awre from your brain thinking and by subconsciousness and hidden consciousness which is the information inside of you that you don’t even know. This comes from your past lives.

When you are born you already have a direction: maybe artist, or play music, dancer, be a businessman, famous, so wsnt different wants. Look at twins or quintuplets, all different. Different hidden information, so talents going andto be and abilities going to be different, choices and feelings also.

So when all this hidden information (hidden consciousness), all your automatic actions and reactions (subconsciousness) and all your thinking, logic through your brain and language start to think(brain consciousness) – when thye are all united together you are sure to aware the truth of life, that is called Not-thinking.

Because thinking is part of it, so its not no thinking, but it is not limited in thinking. So not either way. Its united together. When your concentration is that high you reach meditation level called not thinking, not not thinking. It’s a description of meditation concentration levels when you directly aware of the truth of life.

How to know if that stage appear?

You don’t actually try to thinking anymore, you just have sure heart, and that heart is called willing heart. Its called sincere heart.

So Amitabha Buddha system you want to learn next lifetime no more come to earth which has a lot of suffering, you want to go to a lifestyle they already design with perfect intention no suffering there. And they already accept consciousness who have intention not want to bring any suffering to anyone so want to change your life connection to be born, not like earth style into a pure land you have to use Not thinking, not not thinking that level of concentration to follow 3 conditions to bow to ask Amitabha Buddha accept you as a student,

When that stage appear, you still aware of the idea, but not just thinking about it, its from 3 levels directly so sure about it, that power is very high level so you have to learn to practice to get higher towards it.

Normal life when there is a negative ego and I and my this kind of possessive greedy intention come to me, make me start to think nonsense, then use first one. Then directly use 2nd one, your concentrated power, your willing heart, then aaaah no worry anymore, you know in your heart your essence of these three united is your heart and is the essence. “I know my heart is pure, want good intention towards every life, not bring any suffering. I want to be reborn into a place where I can learn perfect wisdom with spiritual consciousness. I want to learn develop wisdom to be awakened. You know your heart is like that and then you just follow that.

You don’t let nonsense thinking control you and then you use another nonsense thinking to clean it. Its called cleaning muddy face with dirt. You cant figure out anyway they all connected and they all create more.

Simple, back to essence with all 3 consicousness aware that perfect life come from perfect intention. Make sure intention stay open, good, loving , kind and care towards everylife. Make sure you want to develop all wisdom higher. When your heart is that then it will grow. Then you don’t have to think anymore because all your strebgth united in that direction and your heart is sure.

All worries will attack you, all trouble wull still test you, all negative feeling still pop up, every day, every second, but you start to learn the stronger power, to clean out, is not vene try to play around with it, it is directly create positive spiritual intention, 4 eternal heart.

Start with yourself first, find balance. Cant blame other people because it is your own choice, your own freedom. If you really have wisdom to care others then surely you first have wisdom to care for yourself and stay in balance ☺ Make sure your heart doesn’t want to get lost, greedy and get lost create suffering.

Remember 25% of spiritual heart is enjoy life ☺ bur in a wise way. Meaningful, good for yourself, good for others, not just now but for eternity.

When your heart is aware of that then you are aware of the life meditation of Not-thinking, Not Not thinking. Directly living in a pure willing heart. Willing heart not have to think, aware directly.

For example:

My leg is curved and the curve connection into my foot create pain. So instead of complain or see doctor and stuck in negative. I directly try to aware my foot position straighter and release the tension so over time it corrects into a balanced position. So use wisdom and try to do best to make better and better. Pain gone eventually.

Intention not to hurt any life: feel even insect can feel suffering too. Even you kill an insect, call Hell Bodhisattva name, help them create a karma for next lifetime out of that. Get smashed is not nice and life where you suck blood and then die is meaningless too.

Human style understanding of god is they should do everything for us. But truly if they do that then you complain that you not free!

Even if your life is perfect you still have so many tests. It doesn’t work that way. Life is perfect when you have perfect power to keep it perfect! You need willing heart.

I trust god, go to heaven, blind belief. Amitabha Buddha system is a no suffering school. You are there learning how to understand the system of life how it works and then once you aware, control it in harmony, with good intention, with art and beauty, control it with incredible fantastic new ideas to bring the excitement and joy and pleasure all positive and wonderful feelings to yourself and everyone. Every consciousness there is doing that. They take responsibility to create joy, to share good intention, they take opportunity to enjoy learning everything life can help them aware life more.

If you get tricked, don’t blame others. You stay same level that way. I keep tricking you and see how you break it.

Don’t get lost by negative, call Amitabha Buddha name and put concentration into good things. Think about philosophy, thinkin about how to develop more awareness, physical Taiji or healing, or philosophy, help someone clean pollution, clean ego, become more open heart. Concentrate other?

In that moment I can only choose one side – follow philosophy, follow negative.

Example: When Sifu points negative always point to this side of room, Red Bull – follow feeling or follow philosophy.

### Buddhism Summary from Sean Free
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/buddhism-summary-from-sean-free/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
So much joy reading and practicing back to essence 🙏🏼😌

Sound you hear sound.  
No sound you hear silence.  
Ability to be aware always there, eternal, never change.

Observing self being bodhisattva aware the highest, observe the sound. Observe Buddhahood is not the sound, not the silence, not good not bad, not brightness or darkness, but the ability to be aware all that’s Buddhahood.

Buddha is the ability to remain aware Buddhahood and help everyone become aware.

Great force bodhisattva observe all 6 sense to be aware our essence, instead of using them to be lost in external information. Purify them then we can be into Amitabha Buddha’s pure land.

Aware the essence is not to think, it’s the power behind thinking. It’s like a boat help you get to the other side, you have to let go of the boat.

Listen the listening ability, not listening the information, sound or silent. Who is listening, that’s the essence, not what you hear.

Not aware the essence is like a blind man to clean the place, bumps into everything and can’t see the dust. Aware the essence is like clean with the lights on, can clean out all the dust.

Out of the essence lost in the 6 sense information. If your heart doesn’t take this with possessive blindness, then your heart in this lifetime can experience internal pure land, even in this world.

What is Buddhahood? Never hold, hold nothing and nothing can be hold, remain pure.

Blindness force makes us always lost in blindness searching heart, that is the bad emperor. We have to bring back the good emporer, hold nothing.

Our essence when it’s open it’s bigger than any space, all the universe. When it’s shrunken there is nothing smaller or more detail, smaller than any atom, smaller than empty space.

If you create positive, joyful energy, then you spread this everywhere. Create negative energy you spread this everywhere. Once we are aware of our essence we will still be lost in our blind I and mine. One side has to be aware of not being lost in the blindness, other side has to be aware of the essence, remain with that pureness.

5 types of pollution make us not aware our essence.

1\. Greedy for money  
2\. Possessive for materials  
3\. Crazy for famous  
4\. Greedy for eat  
5\. Lazy for sleeping

The trick of greedy is you will get something and you will be happy. But you get it and want more. You’re just lost in the greedy power.

Someone jump from a building when they jump they feel regret. Who regrets? The Buddhahood, regrets that they didn’t develop.

Have a big bed if your heart is restless you will not sleep. Have a small bed and your heart is peaceful you will sleep deep. So it’s not about the materials, it’s about pure heart to enjoy.

When people say they are good, doesn’t mean they are good. When they say they are bad, doesn’t mean they are bad. That is their illusion.

No coming or going.  
Coming is searching  
Going is possessive.  
Not coming, not going, nothing bother you.  
Possessive and searching create all the troubles and worry.

Observing self being  
Observing for blind self being  
Observing our self being and aware we still have a lot of blindness  
Observing power is the self being, so no need to observe anymore.  
After that realize self is a combination, no true individual self. Then aware everything is all just being together, which is all causation United as illusion.  
Because it’s illusion, then being is nothing being, so even being disappear.  
Even being disappear then back to pure empty.

Some people do the meditation very concentrated to purify themselves. But in normal life don’t try to purify. The reality is in normal life you have to train as the main cause. Meditation is a short time, regular life is a lot of time. So training there will create the greatest force.

Speaking karma is the quickest way to make a mistake. When bad intention appear, put a zipper to your mouth. Or it will create bad karma so quick, faster than any action takes.

Try hard to purify blocks your power. Directly aware life is illusion and essence is pure.

Amitabha Buddha want to take away suffering and provide unlimited joy. If we want to get rid of suffering receive unlimited joy, then double will will match.

In philosophy class you just practice and train. If you can’t bring the philosophy into your normal life then your training hasn’t graduated.

When you fail from a test, it’s not to complain, it’s to have appreciate heart to learn more.

Birth and death is just possessive heart to the information. When possessive heart can let go, no beginning no end can appear.

Namu can also mean observing.  
Amituo for – is our true self.  
So namu amitua for is like observing self being.  
Namu aware observing is our essence.
### Bodhidharma Sutra - from Dharma Self Being

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:05.000Z
# The Bodhidharma Sutra

The Bodhidharma Sutra and the direct nature of Zen philosophy can hit the heart and create a sharp awakening. There is a large gap between Bodhidharma philosophy writing and the philosophy that Sifu teaches. But still, for the beginner level, the foundation truths are amazing to purify the consciousness, create Dharma Joy and bring the chance to create intention to be student of Amitabha Buddha in his pure land.

[Book: The Zen Teaching Bodhidharma](https://terebess.hu/zen/Bodhidharma.pdf?ref=dropsofdharma.com)

Chapter 1: Outline of Practice

MANY roads lead to Dao, the path, the way.  
But basically there are only two: One is Logic. The other is Practice.

*Sharp, direct Zen style for the beginning. “There are many roads… but well, actually there is only 2*

First One: Logic Awareness Ability connect to sub consciousness.  
To enter the way by logic means to deeply be aware of the essence. To be aware that all living things share the same essence. This truth, which is not apparent, is covered by sensation and delusion.

*Difficult to be aware of essence as it has no form. Blind consciousness only aware of form and then become lost into that form to take as true self. From this foundation blindness all suffering appears*

Those who turn from delusion back to reality, who meditate on the walls, the absence of self and other, the oneness of mortal and sage , and remain with Dharma Joy. Without moving, without effort, they enter, we say, by reason.

*Aware No I, No Human, No Lifeform, No Lifetime. Remain with that awareness until become natural being into deep heart awareness. Not just learn at the mental level.*  
*Unsure of the technique to mediate on walls. The legend of Bodhidharma says that he sat for 9 years in a cave near Shaolin temple to meditate facing a wall. I have no real unde of that meditation technique.*

*For current level a way into the meditation zone is done by connecting to nature, practicing martial arts to open internal energy then into 4 elements meditation into Observing Life Sound technique. To observe all the sound rise and fall, come and go, heart back to peace, back to essence. Observe the Observer. Free from regular awareness boundary into deep joy. Reconnect to will and intention to be student into Amitabha Buddha pure land.*  
*Because of that, the road into the Tao is through Practice, which is into to the second part of Bodhidharma writing. However a wall from time to time maybe a worthwhile challenge*. 😀🤔🙏🏻

[*Bodhidharma teaching comes back to sharply hit one continuous point.*](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/10/05/bodhidharmas-bodhisattva-system/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)  
*That is, Be aware of true nature, be aware of essence. That is Buddhahood.*  
*That is the awakening and also the foundation to awaken 4 eternal hearts. The True self is not whatever you are aware of. It is the awareness ability, which has no form. This develops correct understanding and intention and the ability to live in Dao.* 🐲☯

### True Pureness
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/true-pureness/
Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:42:55.000Z
‘True Pureness’

All the relationship all the things you hold onto and connect to, in your deep calmness, deep calmness and resting without any connection, they will become just pure illusion.

There is no relationship between your true life and the illusion world. This relationship is a trick itself for you to learn that there is nothing for you to get. Just to learn that it is a trick and become wise and pure.  
Through learning life you become wise and pure.

A piece of wood or piece of grass is in that deep pureness, has no ego I, the universe is in that deep pureness and calmness.  
Connect to that pureness and you finally feel free. You can then connect to all the universe.  
There is no dream of searching anymore, dream represents illusion life, so no more dream of searching. There is no more your ‘I’ in that illusion world.

Nothing holding you and no boundary equals pure joy. Nothing searching anymore.

Pure intention creates joy. It purifies all the illusion. If your intention is not pure you will never be joyful.  
Spiritual philosophy can make your heart content, when your heart is content joy lights can then appear.  
The ‘I’ you have in this world at the moment is not even there, observe this to go back to your essence and understand pureness.

Grass blowing in the wind is free to move, not enough water today, they don’t care, whatever it is – it is.

Either way is fine, never have a personal I involved, no consciousness there to judge.

Your body is part of the nature changing, you should not put your worry into it, let it be free to change follow the natural flow. No worry no judgement, just do your best.

Body always change but you are always you. The world is always changing but you, your essence is not changing. The ability behind the tool is never changing.

The body is changing like the grass, but the essence in that grass is never changing. The essence of the grass is the four elements, four elements the essence is emptiness, and emptiness the essence is consciousness create it. So again behind the grass the essence never changes.

Buddha say: it’s amazing, even the grass and the wood all have Buddha’s amazing character and appearance form in it. This is how the energy can appear as Buddha.

Consciousness is perfect, then all the appearing form will become perfect. But our consciousness has a lot of pollution that’s why we see many things as not perfect. So we learn to clean out pollution, back to the perfect pureness, from there four eternal hearts can develop, to reach complete unlimited perfect.

Essence is perfect and pure, never born, never die. Essence also has another perfect, perfect to create blindness. Through that blindness we learn to be awakened and then we learn wisdom. Through learning that wisdom we learn four eternal hearts, we learn compassion.

So it looks like blindness is not perfect but truly blindness is perfect, it is the teacher of Buddha.

Dragon Buddha ask Pure Name Buddha, What is blindness? Blindness is the teacher of Buddha, consciousness has the power as pure, but consciousness has the power to create blindness. When this pureness is lost by blindness and become awakened again, then it become Buddha. So that blindness is the necessary teacher. Teacher to help you learn, so you don’t hold the teacher, you don’t hold your blindness. See through it, then to let all the blindness go. It’s like you learn what the teacher teaches, you don’t need to keep learning that same thing, you let it go. It becomes your nature already.  
So let all the bad things go.

Direct heart is a style into understanding life is illusion, back to essence in a very deep sharp way as Bodhisattva and Buddha.

Because Bodhisattva and Buddha remain aware life is illusion their heart remain free, because their heart is free they can remain pure to be pure kind and care. If their heart was not free they could not do this.

And they say we all have this power we are just lost in pollution. We do not develop our eternal force. We are lost in our I and mine, blindness like a waterfall constantly.

Truly we have power like them if we remain open heart, observing, free, wise aware life is illusion, directly being in every moment pure kind, joyful, right away we are already in nirvana zone. And when we can remain in that zone eternally we become Bodhisattva.

And when we can remain in that zone eternally in a complete unlimited way we become Buddha.

Amazing and humbling

## Recording here:

# **Bodhidharmas Bodhisattva System**

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a8/72/a8726412-1672-47a0-b2d2-bcbfc654d1f9/content/images/wordpress/2019/10/IMG_0158-300x291.jpg)

Also called:

**“Great Convenient System into Dao with Four Actions Observation.”**

# **Introduction**

Into Dao or Dharma has many ways but there are 2 main ways you can separate them all.

One way is a mental, logical way into it.

One way is action, which is absorbing the ideas to become reality.

# **The First Way: From logic into Dao**

**But you have to start with understanding the idea first.**

When you understand the idea, you will create deep trust and that trust only comes because you truly understand.

> **What do you understand? Your true essence**

You understand your true essence is **covered** by your own creation of blind illusion.

Because of this, you are not aware of your essence.

But if you can see through the illusion then the true essence will appear.

And I have been facing the wall observing for many human years and aware that there is no true self from any appearing forms.

**Because all appearing forms come from other appearing forms.**

That means every appearing form has no appearing form.

So that proves all appearing forms are from others, have no true self, they are all illusion.

**That includes our four element body.**

That includes even Buddha’s appearing form all the way to animal or insect appearing forms.

They all illusion.

That is the first awakening in mental, because the illusion appearing form makes us believe they are real and if we can’t be aware of that truth then we are lost blindly in this dream-illusion-creation form. We take it so serious.

Take serious creates reincarnation, makes the dream create even more dreams, and you can never wake up from those dreams.

And in this dream, Buddha also dream, we also dream, but Buddha knows he is in a dream and then he have true understanding so he is not lost.

One who doesn’t know they are lost can continue from blindness create more nightmare.

But once through mental, you reach understanding clearly the truth of life, you will not be blind to follow any other blind feeling and that is called **from complete mental logical power into the Dao.**

Then you will understand all the judgemental, all the searching from mental and ego I, is fake.

And then your heart becomes calm from all of those non-stop blindness ideas of judgement and searching.

So you will be into a stage of freedom called no more judgemental power.

# **The Second Way: Absorb the idea become action**

There are many, many ways to train – but Bodhidharma separates them into 4 main kind of actions.

1. **Blind Reincarnation Action**
2. **Following Causation Action**
3. **No Searching Heart Creation Action**
4. **True Dharma Natural Being Action**

## **1\. Blind Reincarnation Action**

If we are in suffering we know that suffering come from our blindness from the past life.

So from our blind creation and blind receiving then create blind causation this lifetime

So we should regret, Bow to Hell Bodhisattva to support us to relieve this Hell karma.

Way to stop it is to stop all the blind causation this lifetime, any connection, not spiritual, stop them because any connection non spiritual will keep you connected to reincarnation.

(See posts on Hold Nothing Meditation, No existence Meditation, releasing the blind greedy hooks of our own creation)

You can stop this causation this lifetime if all your connection become spiritual then that chain will break but break now for future but still this lifetime receiving from the past. For example, learning Amitabha Buddha System, that is why we bow to Hell Bodhisattva to ask for his protection.

You have to be careful not to create more I get crazy with any suffering, more I to judge this suffering.

Get crazy from it, or judgemental towards it, you actually just supporting that reincarnation.

So transform that I with wisdom new I to change whatever pollution become spiritual direction add in purify system, bow to Hell Bodhisattva regret Hell Karma from the past, make Amitabha Buddha spiritual will connection for incredible future. (Sifu add this in.)

## **2\. Following Causation Action**

In life wherever we have I-ego, searching for good, even if it is good karma, right away bad karma is there.

They are twins, they are a circle.

That is called following karma. Searching one side didn’t expect the other one would come. You can’t have half a circle. This is following causation.

Whatever you choose through I, you surely have good and bad.

And that is because we take this illusion dream as reality. That Illusion dream-I have this possibility, all the good and all the bad follow each other. Following causation.

And if we can be free out of that ego-I, back to no good no bad, no more searching heart towards good and bad causation. Then we can be free from the main power to make reincarnation appear.

So when good happens, don’t get lost by that good feeling. When bad happens, don’t get lost feel so down, remain in pure four eternal heart, or at least Daoism foundation of harmony, remain with your natural being.

Energy god has this also. Their harmony power last one universe time, but that much joy means they experience equal that much suffering if they didn’t purify their illusion-I.

### **Summary:**

> These first two help you to be from blind reincarnation.
> 
> 1st one stops the past blind causation.
> 
> 2nd one stops the present blind causation.

## **3\. No Searching Heart Creation Action**

This is where the spiritual power starts to appear.

If you want to have spiritual juice to drink you need to clean out your dirty cup first.

They can’t mix.

Searching heart comes from our greedy and possessive.

And those appear because we don’t understand eternal truth.

We are in a dream illusion, temporary four element-I is not ourself.

**And whatever we connect to is even more illusion.**

And because we don’t understand this truth, we get tricked by our own creation and we can never find security.

In fact no one can find security.

Even energy gods can’t find security – that’s why they fight to devils, they are afraid their harmony power will get destroyed. So they have anger and hate, and they fight to the devils. And finally they also become devil. Then that one universe time joy will become one universe time suffering. Circle. Following karma.

When you understand this and create your wisdom power to stay eternally wise, not stay sometimes and then forget, then you heart will create eternal peace. Because all the insecure power cannot control you anymore.

All the insecure power come from ego, take ego illusion-I, appearing world, as real power, and create greed to it all. **That power is a habit from many lifetimes of being lost in dream illusions.**

And you can only win it if you are away from this constant, lost in dream illusions state.

You have to know all these illusions from illusion-I blindness creation are like a burning house and you live inside. You have to see them as dangerous for your heart’s development and you will really want to be out of it.

But if you try to be greedy or possessive to it, you just support yourself to get burned in the house.

When you can be free from it, from there you start to have no searching heart, because searching surely just go back to the first two, create reincarnation from past and future – good and bad constantly changing suffering.

**Blind searching come from suffering, cycle continues.**

No searching doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy life.

Enjoy with good intention, with wisdom, you share all the joy of creation but not searching.

And when you reach this you become no searching heart creation action.

## **4\. True Dharma Natural Being Action**

Pure Dharma is understanding that because you are in dream, all the appearances are illusion, are empty, are not real, when you awaken from that your heart becomes no pollution.

> **And because your heart has no more pollution, you understand that even though you have spiritual will to help everyone, you never create an ‘I help’ anyone.**

You just enjoy creating that. Pure Land will, pure spiritual dream, but still know it is a dream. But you know it is a dream, you rather create that dream.

But in a pure dream you don’t create an I who is doing that, to help anyone.

When you know it is a dream, when you don’t create ‘I help’ anyone, Diamond Sutra wisdom appear – no I, no human, no lifeforms, no lifetime. Wise people remain in that sharp awareness.

> **And that sharp awareness is the Dharma. True Dharma Natural Being.**

Because all the illusion continues to test you, you have to continue to be aware of them, and that ‘continue to be aware’ is the wisdom.

And because you continue to be aware of your true essence Dharma is never what you are aware of.

Whatever you are aware of, the pollution is not you. That pure awareness power is not the pollution.

You will awaken that awareness power itself.

Then you will be naturally kind because in that illusion why not to be kind? So you will be kind without ego.

You will be free and released from past, present future, time illusion chain.

Released from ego I and ego I connection to every relationship.

You will be released from material and physical space and possessive heart.

And you will not try to hold, you will not want to depend on anything anymore, because it is illusions, so nothing to depend on. If you depend on it you support that possessive once again.

Instead, you are being the wisdom and depend on you yourself to truly awaken.

When you depend on your own wisdom natural being you help yourself and help everyone awaken and become Bodhisattva system. **Then you create 6 Bodhisattva characters.**

And the power to create 6 Bodhisattva characters is 4 Eternal Hearts.

**Finally create pure land for every life.**

But still in that process, not create ‘I help’ anyone.

Remain pure open, empty heart.

All the Buddhas reach this level. That is the true final awakening, it is called **True Dharma Natural Being Action**.

Reading the four levels of Patience puts things in perspective. 🙏🏼😊

Human – Forebear

2\. Monk – Free will and being humble – willing to make the patient appear

3\. Bodhisattva – convenient, no I observing to help others. Not yet perfect teachers, not aware of every case.

4\. Buddha – no beginning, no end patience. No time no future past present.

No ‘I have to help you reach somewhere’

So there is no ego to reach somewhere, just being compassionate eternally.

When you don’t develop life, there is no life, only living.

You don’t have to help others reach somewhere only to be aware of something more, there is nowhere to help them to reach, just develop a bit more everyday and enjoy life more.

This will allow your heart to enjoy the process of learning and teaching as there is nowhere to reach.

### Peace

Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:50:07.000Z
Peace

We are fooled by our senses. They are tricks of tricks. Since you know you are lost in the trick of life and you take everything too heavily, we have to find a wisdom that makes everything lighter, more joyful and easier. We have to find a way to make everything more peaceful for you and for others.

What are your suggestions to make inner peace? What are the best suggestions from you all?

\* Accept all the good, refuse all the bad  
\* Hold nothing  
\* Learn philosophy  
\* Freedom  
\* Enjoy the present  
\* Harmony  
\* The body is a temple  
\* Patience  
\* Wisdom

If you want to develop your peace creating ability, all the above are about thinking positively, which doesn’t work. It’s like a mirror, you have to clean off all the dust – you refuse the negative and peace will appear.

Searching for the positive is stressful. **Just say no to whatever is not peace**, **what is negative: then you will find freedom**.

> **If you search for freedom, you will not find it.**

When you use the power to say no or refuse to follow, that’s where the peace creating power comes from.

> **The wisdom of philosophy is to teach you to say no to the negative.**

Refuse bad character, carelessness, focusing on the negative. **When you enjoy dancing, you are not looking for pleasure; the dancing is the pleasure!**

\~\~  
Notes from some time ago. So direct and clear. For peace and freedom to appear, simply refuse the negative. So cool 😊🙏

To Daofit Team

During dharma ending the strongest protection is from Hell Bodhisattva.

Even if you have just one second of spiritual karma and bow sincerely to him. That will be enough cause for him to protect you, to be out of bad karma and guide you into any spiritual will or pure land karma.

He has the same force as Buddha’s awareness ability.

Sincerely bow to Hell Bodhisattva is the strongest connection to protect your consciousness in dharma ending time.

Dharma ending these two are the best systems. Foundation out of Hell karma is Hell Bodhisattva system. Direction and goal of easiest and fastest to reach Bodhisattva level is Amitabha Buddha system.

Bow sincerely to Amitabha Buddha and Hell Bodhisattva can create a sure success karma for pure land.

How to make a will

1\. Observe the will till there’s no doubt that it connects to the truth of life and it is correct.

2\. Observe and doubt yourself to understand where you don’t follow it yet.

3\. Once you understand your will completely and have observed yourself the will appears from heart.

*GD – I wrote out my answers to this three years ago and can see clearly where my heart has changed to match the will I created. So cool, highly recommend observing and writing out your own. Heart will become more clear towards the will as it observes itself over time. *Observing self being.**

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:06.000Z
Child heart is joyful, pure and innocent, no blind intention, child heart we should keep.That is the root to grow all the kindness and wisdom. That happy joyful, playful, sharing child heart. One heart two gates one seed come from that.It does not matter how wise or mature you are you are.

You really have to be lucky to stay open and live and be kind and generous and good intention and share joy with each other.

> **Sifu asks himself “What is the moment when I feel the luckiest?”**

When I’m in pure observation that’s when I feel the luckiest.

I feel life again is always perfect.

I realize we create ego and we create someone to learn spirits, but doesn’t matter either one, the original essence is not either one. And through deep observing realize that deep observing is me. It’s free from either one.

And when you have that and you want to learn spirits then you have searching heart, and then you have stress but when I’m in deep observation both disappear, **then equal heart appear, because my essence is the same as everyone.** 

**When either ego appear or clean out ego appears**, pureness is still there, never change, if one create the other, A is never B.

That’s why they teach in Heart Sutra there is no wisdom to get , there is no birth or death. Because true essence is not either of those hearts.

And that is what the Heart Sutra teaches. 

Teaches us to be aware of your heart and how it creates all that, and your heart can blindly create and try to learn to awaken – either.

> **But final awakening realize you are not either one, finally aware all life is equal, and all life are pure, realize life is always perfect.**

In deep observation I can see through all of that, see through all those egos back to the essence is pure, so my heart is open, love every life by nature, because our essence is always pure, like mine, so I love them like me. 

**Because the essence is no good no bad, no comparing appears, when no comparing appears, eternity appears.**

> **It’s only something compare, change appears and eternity disappears.**

When you’re pure you don’t feel time, Open heart, playful, every second is not time it is your open heart.

Deep observation ability help me to aware life is eternal perfect 

Essence always equal, always pure and always remain pure and essence, that pureness can create blindness and then through that can create another ego want to clean out all the blindness, and then finally through learning all the egos from every angle awaken and realize they are all illusion again are pure

Potential is equal in every life.

And through deep observation of Buddha’s teaching of eternal wisdom I’m aware of all that.

And in that deep observation I’m aware no thinking no speaking, there is no-I to compare or judge there is instead incredible joy. 

**Open heart live in present and aware of every life.**

**Accepting heart helps see all life in a different way – say ah that’s the way life is.**

### Will to develop wisdom
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/will-to-develop-wisdom/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
Fri class – 20110930 – 10 Wills

The will to understand the logic of life is actually the key to learn very fast. Many people want to lie cheat and protect their ego they still find a way to lie and trick. That is why you learn slow, suddenly if you get rid of that there are so many truths in front of you.

You don’t have to find them; they are actually always around you, just because you are so blind and **covered by your fake vain protection.**

Protecting your ego is why you are slow to learn wisdom. If you get rid of that suddenly you realize there are so many truths in front of you every second. It’s not like you have to find them they are just all around you. It’s because of your blindness, your fake vain that covers you, protect your blindness and ego and make them.

So the dust is not even from outside it’s from inside.

Once your heart changes and really wants to just know the truth. Your heart creates lights and a will that opens. When the sun appears what happens? Dark disappears. This is the same. The blindness goes away. Then you realize the ideas, the truth of life is so clear everywhere all the time. A lot of wisdom seems too obvious once you learn it in philosophy class.

So your heart and a strong will is the beginning, if you don’t want this earth-suffering, lifestyle, you surely want to live in pure land, why would it make sense. You have to say this to your heart.

When I was young I felt that the earth was so many things not right. Not a place where everything developed with so much wisdom behind it, pure, where everything non-stop stay in harmony, with harmony sharing. I was aware of all that. I had to figure out what to do.

My heart felt life should be a place where everything is sharing, harmony, no ego and free, everything should be truthful and honest and everyone should have a caring heart. That’s how my heart felt. Then I could observe and feel the earth.

Then I started to analyse from there – and that’s when I started to develop wisdom. The earth does not appear that way. I tried to work out what’s going on in this contradiction.

Siddhartha Buddha explained Pure Land 4 times. But it’s the only philosophy no **student** asked him, he directly told it. He told them the history of Amitabha Buddha. A different type of perfect system. **May I next life time be born in pure land.** And may I purify my consciousness this lifetime. They bowed to Siddhartha Buddha and right away their third eye opened and they saw a lotus waiting for them in pure land.

Pure land is for all spiritual consciousness – beginner to the highest Bodhisattva – the highest Bodhisattva has to learn how to become Buddha,

In order to learn Pure Land the Bodhisattva will let you borrow their power to experience some of it this life time so you want to learn more. You will feel so good, so much joy and so free that your heart will want to experience more.

Like a poor Thai person who has a rich friend who one day buys him an air ticket. He could never afford one on his own but one day gets a ticket and sees the world. Then when he comes back to Thailand he will work hard and think of ways to save money to go do more travelling.

TimPig last time I put joyful massage energy into him and he go whoa it is so great and make him excited want to learn more and become higher level and create joyful energy himself. That is why you want to learn to have that power on your own.

To connect to that system we have a bridge to get there.

Sincere heart and follow to three conditions – Amitabha Buddha system is the most incredible of the unlimited systems – all the Buddha’s say so.

Who has seen their lotus in the pure land? If you don’t follow the 3 conditions it will wither.

Listen to Amitabha when you bow, listen to your own voice inside your head saying Amitabha Buddha’s name, concentrate your awareness on it – eyes, ears, body and thinking – we control the information we receive and concentrate the force.

When you go to bow, close your eyes, imagine lotus blooming in your joints and third eye.

Everyday is a birthday for awakening your spirits.

All the appearing form is constantly changing.  
So awakened heart is aware life is illusion.  
Hold nothing and being aware of that truth in all space and all time.  
And aware in this constantly changing illusion, essence remain pure and calm.

Equal heart towards every life, open heart to remain fresh, kindness to every life  
Equal heart attitude to all the space and all the time.

And Nirvana is in every time, every space and inside of every life.

If you are aware of it, good or bad is all perfect for you,  
to learn to be awakened and develop four eternal hearts.  
So no good or bad, only eternal perfect.

To be aware of that in hell, in Earth karma or Amitabha Buddha Pure Land karma, is all the same.  
In the past, present or future dream illusion, timing all the same.

And that is the true birthday.  
Birthday of kind, care, joy and free.  
Birthday of being compassion and wisdom, no beginning, no end.

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:22:36.000Z
# What is Samadhi?

Is a level of meditation, where you reach to be aware of all the angles of life equally. Equal heart appears.

## What is Samadhi – Meditation to enjoy

https://soundcloud.com/daofit/what-is-samodhi-recording-meditation

# Bodhisattva Samadhi

When the heart has no more any ego searching, everything becomes completely calm.

Because it is completely calm, it starts to observe all the angles of life, then it starts to be able to be aware of all the eternal truth.

Through observing all the eternal truth, the heart becomes free to no longer follow blind illusion.

When it no longer follows the blind illusion, it is into stage of self-perfect-creation Pure Land system.

When it follows that system, it becomes the centre, able to influence everything around it.

When this happens, it is a level of Samadhi.

The consciousness has been purified to see through all the logic of life, then heart become equal heart, aware every life’s angle, all the searching heart, worry and fear heart completely gone. Self-perfect pure land system centre development starts to form a will.

When a Bodhisattva reaches this stage and makes a will to become Buddha – that is Bodhisattva Samadhi who will become Buddha.

# Human Samadhi

You start to feel no longer connected to the body.

Heart back to peace, no judgmental, free.

When the heart is back to free, no more greed and thinking.

At this stage of pureness, humans can experience human Samadhi.

Means the start of unlimited joy in a human level.

Because human life is full of constantly searching and worry, finally the ability to be free from that is like being free from a jail that you have been in for a long, long time.

From here the heart will become able to be pure as a steady power.

# Monk Samadhi

Their heart will start to feel free from no more connection to the human illusion world.

Everything they connect to will become empty.

Become no attachment, so all six senses become silent.

Their heart will start to temporarily be free in that meditation.

When heart feel free from all attachment from before, then their discipline to make this experience appear, to remain free and pure and not to attach to this world – that is their Nirvana.

Basically all the 3 levels above become pure and calm.

Their heart no more searching and no more pollution. That calmness and freeness in a different awareness level and boundary and create a different level of Samadhi.

# Buddha Samadhi

Aware all angles of life.

Aware every angle is illusion.

Equal heart kindness to every life.

Pure kindness and understanding to all life is Buddha open heart, complete calm, kindness Samadhi.

Create convenient wisdom in unlimited ways for unlimited life – language, temples, smell, gardens, beautiful nature, birds amazing sound, for their heart to learn joy, free from suffering.

In an unlimited zone, create convenient wisdom, to be aware every life their wish and will and to create wisdom to satisfy them, to help them out of suffering.

In the pure land of his own creation, from his own will, from each Buddha, each will is their Samadhi, is where their heart form, their sure power eternally exist, is where the power into all the illusion and free from all blind causation.

> **So all together Buddha’s three qualities – equal heart, equal compassion, convenient equal wisdom to help every life.**

# Pure Name Buddha Samadhi

Samadhi for human, for monk, for Bodhisattva are all different, it is when their heart find a steady power no more lost in that stage. But those stages are still temporary, the final of Samadhi is not when you reach Samadhi, it is realise, every life already in Samadhi.

**Perfect, or not perfect, it is all part of the perfect system.**

> For awakened consciousness everything is perfect.

You can through not perfect, develop convenient wisdom and kindness for others.

You can through perfect, develop perfect pure land to help others enjoy life.

Both always perfect. And because their intention is perfect, there is no such thing as not perfect.

But they also aware that perfect is not to become Buddha and aware perfect. It is always perfect, like when the sun is covered by clouds you can’t see the sun, but it is still there.

**No Buddha become Buddha because they discovered Samadhi.** 

It is because they realise every life already in Samadhi. Everything already perfect. **No Buddha create perfect.** They just discover how perfect is the system of life. And that perfect system, whatever is not perfect, is part of the perfect for them to develop compassion.

That is why the Buddha say, all the blindness, all the suffering is Buddha’s teacher. Teaching them where to create convenient wisdom and compassion for every life.

> **Pure Name Buddha Samadhi, life is already Samadhi.** 

You awaken, you see everything is Samadhi. If you are in a dream, then you don’t know it is already there, then you are searching for it, **then you can never find it because searching become your life**, there is no Samadhi. And when you awaken no more searching, you will realise everything is Samadhi.

That is Pure Name Buddha’s Samadhi – **It is called incredible, without having to try, directly aware Samadhi.**

## Character

Bodhisattva, they know teach wisdom help you to learn wisdom, double appreciation

## Regular Emotion

Regular emotion come from  
– many causes  
– moody  
– up and down  
– not steady  
– lead to suffering

We are looking for how to stay in a good mood

All emotion come from ego.

Business, being nice for own want.

Break up philosophy  
1\. The feeling I would love you forever was temporary, come from lonely, come from passion to share with each other, now it’s gone, this kind of personal is from ego needs, so when ego need change, it disappears, it’s not realiable. The moment you take it so important it’s got you. Most of the time it is your fear. When gone, you can observe this. I need to dance, I need to disco. Everyone wants to look at me, but in the end they care about the dancing king, want to experience my passion, how I express my desire, passion through movement… not even really me. All the girls that were crazy where did they go? Gone…. Reality.. see through it. They don’t even know my deep philosophy heart.

Personal emotion – it means you’ll worry for the rest of your life.. funny 🙂

Emotion is not wrong, it just surely will go to suffering because from ego and ego change.

We want to change emotion into eternal wisdom.

We are not learning wisdom for something to be in our head, we are learning to help ourselves and share to help others improve ther lives in a beautiful and perfect direction. Wrong direction is guaranteed suffering

We are looking for how to stay in a good mood

—

## We are looking for how to stay in a good mood

It is not try to find the answer. On the journey looking for the answer you forget what you already know.

1. Physical
2. Mental
3. Psychological

### Physical

- 1\. Keep body no tension  
2\. Train body good posture, good centre, not overweight, flexibility  
3\. Taiji, stretching, healing, acupuncture, Tui’na,
- Problem is we don’t value it, include me (Sifu)
- I did a meditation and experience a wave of energy.. I can see from inside my body… a nice wave, joyful
- There are so many mysteries hidden in the body.
- And we learn 6 senses is the key to your suffering, your limitation, but also key to make you Bodhisattva and Buddha
- Buddhism is the whole view, body, mind and spirit.
- Make shape more balanced and stronger.

### Mental

- Blueprint
- We release tension but it comes back
- Because we don’t have good principle of life
- Thinking ability, Subconsciousness awareness ability is not free from recreating blindness
- Even you release this much, you create THIS much

### Psychological

Good character

Good intention

So if you do all three you don’t t have complete wisdom knowledge, you have complete wisdom ability.

It’s not something you can hear and then got it! We all have that lazy. Reality is not going to happen yet util you develop eternal wisdom all angles, physical, mental, psychological

Physical illusion – know how to take care with harmony, no tension

Brain consciousness ability- know how to develop wisdom to see through all the blindness ideas

Psychologically – know how to clean out all the negative habits, lazy, not sharp, not observing enough, a lot of bad intention, puriify all of them. The opposite, develop a lot of good intention, and make those wisdom abilities become habit.

---

When we bow we make complete circle, represent perfect, all the negative about life help us to improve to become perfect

# From Pure Name Buddha

The Pure Name Buddha book is amazing for me.

Every time I’m not clear about life I open any part and right away it’s so amazing.

There is this one story here from Buddha.

## How to truly learn Buddhism

In the story the villagers offered a gift to the Buddhist temple – it was a beautiful gold statue of a water buffalo. Some children were playing in the temple and knocked it over and the statue broke so it only had one eye left.

Buddha asked the students a question.

> **Did the buffalo lose an eye?**

The first group of monks said to Buddha that the buffalo had lost its eyes, but it’s okay because it is only gold.

The second group of monks said, the buffalo is illusion so there is no buffalo.

The third group said, the buffalo illusion is temporary causation and can change to anything, and we actually can have power to change that illusion the same way we can change gold into a statue.

This third view is the Bodhisattva view.

The first view is the human view. We humans take everything completely serious, what we see is what it is, we can’t see through the illusion at all and can’t see the buffalo is not even a buffalo.

The second view, says the buffalo is illusion but didn’t understand that gold is already there, the same way true consciousness already there. What is the function of that true gold? Gold can bring art, bring beauty and bring malleable material to be able to change to whatever people want to create with their art power. Gold itself has no limitation, no ego, does not have to be this way or that way. **Gold Itself remains pure**.

That is Dharma.

So buffalo is not real but real gold there.

Bodhisattva knows the buffalo is fake, but knows gold has true function and we should actually learn what the is the true function of gold.

> **To really learn Buddhism has to be the third one.**

Illusion is always connected to true consciousness, so where there is illusion, that is where already there is true consciousness.

> Where there is the temporary, is where there is eternal.

Eternal means not changing, but the power to be aware of this changing is not part of this changing. **So that power is eternity.**

And changing is always temporary so where is the illusion is where there is already reality.

And where there is blindness and suffering, is where there is wisdom. If you observe them, then you realise we blindly created them, they don’t even need to exist. So if you don’t create them then they don’t exist. Wisdom right away there.

Like the story of the man who sees his face in the reflection of a mirror for the first time and when they take the mirror away he thinks he has lost his head and starts to scream! We create our own type of this creation suffering and then we take it serious and want to clean that suffering and this is not Bodhisattva system.

**Bodhisattva system is directly realise if I don’t create “think I’ve lost my head” illusion then I don’t have to search for the answer to such an illusion. Follow blindness with blindness is a dramatic ,theatre for nothing.**

Bodhisattva directly awakens to be aware there is no such thing as birth and death, because they realise where there is birth and death, Nirvana is already there.

The power to aware of birth and death is not temporary.

Nirvana is not like you can try to reach it and get it.

> **Nirvana is always there.** It is just because you are not aware of it so it’s not there.

Like the sun is always in the sky, but sometimes clouds cover it so the sun disappears. But the sun is still behind those clouds.

Nirvana is always there, if you are aware of it, it’s there, if you are not aware of it, it’s still there.

Life is perfect, if you are aware of it, it’s there, if you are not aware of it, it’s still there.

Eternity is always there.

Kindness is always there.

Just because you follow creation of blind ego, doesn’t mean your kindness heart will not be there.

It is the same like the sun, kindness heart is eternal, that is why you can always want to look for people to give you kindness. Then you understand that feeling you will understand how to be that feeling show kindness to others. **The reason you are able to feel that is because it is always there.**

> So Four Eternal Heart is always in you.

**You can never reach Nirvana because Nirvana is always there.**

We don’t have to clean birth and death, nothing to clean out. In birth and death right away we can see Nirvana. In temporary we can see eternity. **In this greedy ego world we can right away see wisdom to not get polluted.**

> From all this wisdom there is nothing you can get because true wisdom is not to get something, true wisdom is being that wisdom.

So Bodhisattva heart remains aware completely correctly and doesn’t have to reach somewhere to aware complete angles.

In any angle they are aware of the complete angles of life.

In Pure Land they are aware the same, in Hell they are aware the same. In Earth, forbearing karma, the same.

**And they are aware all three are illusion.** 

Behind the illusion kindness is always eternity. Already aware these are created by our heart and then they are aware everybody has the power to create either one equally so heart is equal towards every life – **equal heart.**

**So Bodhisattva can be aware of complete angles from every angle.**

——

> **Why is Pure Name Buddha’s respectful title – “Unspeakable, unthinkable”**

Unspeakable because when he talked, there was nothing any student or Bodhisattva can add. His wisdom so sharp, any mistake he can explain and help everyone learn from, so students are naturally more quiet and humble and careful to observe. He doesn’t appear as a Buddha or Bodhisattva but his questions to Siddhartha Buddha made all the students so impressed wow he is sharp like Buddha. Because he was already Buddha.

# 4 Keys to a Happy Life Through Moving Meditation

## Introduction

Love is the most beautiful and fulfilling feeling we can experience in life.  
But true love only arises when we cultivate a kind heart.

Often, we mistake **greed, possessiveness, and desire** for love.  
But those only create worry, fear, and eventually, hate.

**True love** begins with being kind to yourself—and then sharing that kindness with others.

To sustain this joyful, contented state, we must develop **wisdom**.  
Wisdom allows us to *create* love and kindness, instead of endlessly waiting or searching for it.

When you become a loving person, the world reflects your heart.  
And that feeling of contentment multiplies in limitless ways.

But to develop both a kind heart and a wise mind, we need a foundation.  
That foundation is **health**—of body, mind, and spirit.

Health itself is the most **practical wisdom**, and the most **profound kindness** we can give ourselves.

When you are truly healthy—when your physical body, your mind, and your spirit shine like a vibrant forest paradise—then others naturally enjoy being around you.  
You become a peaceful, beautiful place for others to visit.

But health doesn’t arrive effortlessly. It is **not like air**, which is freely available from birth.  
Unfortunately, many people assume health will always be there, waiting.

In truth, **health is like a high-performance racing car**:  
It requires careful design, expert engineering, and constant maintenance.  
It demands skill, precision, and training to keep it running smoothly.

In the same way, our body, mind, and spirit need training to stay clear, energized, and ready for the race of life.

---

## **Conclusion**

In the end, these four elements—**kindness, wisdom, health, and training**—are not separate.

Training *is* wisdom.  
True health *is* kindness.  
And the purpose of developing wisdom ability is to share **true love**.

Life can be perfect.  
In fact, from the deepest view, **life is already perfect**.

Because the potential to develop these four priceless qualities exists in **every life**.

From the ever-kind and wise and delicious-cooking-expert Michelle 🙂

> \~\~  
> Enjoyed observing self being with these notes from many years ago. Observing my own blind suffering creations became joyful. Heart also felt joy to purify, strengthen and develop 6 Boddhisattva Characters. ☺🙏💚

4 Noble Truths  
(human level):  
1\. Life HAS suffering  
2\. We RECEIVE suffering by CREATING it from our blindness and then HOLDING on to it. We each create our own suffering, others do not create our suffering. We need to observe our suffering in order to identify how we are creating it.  
3\. We need to DESTROY the CAUSE of the suffering in order to release the suffering  
4\. Once our suffering is released, we will reach nirvana; a state of happiness, contentment and peace

What is suffering?  
Suffering is our blind intentions – greed, hate and stupidity

**6 Bodhisattva characters**

1\. Generosity: You need to be able to give and share. For a person teaching the dao way, they would be inclined to want to teach generous people as these people will then want to share the wisdom too.

2\. Discipline: You can be a giving person but without your own discipline to take action to learn more, then you will not become any wiser.

3\. Patience: You can be disciplined but it may only be for a short period of time. You need patience to achieve ongoing discipline.

4\. Concentration: You need to focus, make notes, analyse. You may be disciplined and have patience, but if you are not truly focused and side-tracked on other things then you will not reach the goal.

5\. Meditation: Once you have achieved the previous 4 steps, you will be able to meditate. The point of meditation is to see and feel beyond what humans are limited to see, hear and touch. We hear and see through sound waves but generally we are limited to only 5% of what the brain can pick up. Dharma Joy is when you see the truth of life through meditation.

6\. Wisdom: Once you have achieved the previous 5 steps, you will develop wisdom ability and truly understand Dao and the Truth of Life.

Without wisdom, you cannot be compassionate.

# How to Get a Higher Level

## Like a Circle, Perfect is in Every Present

- A circle needs a perfect angle to come around and back to join. If any angle is a little bit wrong and not smooth, it will not come back and connect.
- To make a perfect circle needs every present moment to be precise in every detail.
- That is one of my top secrets.
- Make every move aware of every detail in my body.
- Be aware of mentality, being, intention, psychology, and attitude. When I’m aware of them, I can correct them.
- Then I can observe: Did I give myself too much stress to do it? Did I stress myself because people are watching me?
- This information helps to make that perfect circle appear: precise discipline, control angle, position your body, and energy.
- You can become professional.

## The Master's Skill: Observe Masters Outside of Martial Arts

- You have to practice to make what I say become automatic and subconscious; then you are a master.
- Examples: Can be anything! Even pen flicking, darts, snooker, and dancing.
- These can make art; the action looks so fast and effortless.
- Make something so abstract repeat and be perfect every time. Make something so difficult and abstract repeat again. Control smooth and slow, fast, the relationship with the centre, and the relationship with the opponent.
- If you can’t control yourself, it is much more difficult with an opponent. All the masters know to use that perfect circle idea; they create a perfect circle and then they can use intuition to control it.
- Because even if you make the perfect circle appear one time, you may not be able to stay with it.
- Highest masters want to remain that perfect; they have to spend almost their entire lives taking care of their condition to maintain that.
- I am not talking about flexibility and stretching only; I’m talking about meditation, being aware of all the details, and practice. Keep yourself aware of all those details and as many angles as you can.

## Air Man Technique

- Air man is a high technique; if people are not able to touch you, they can’t beat you.
- Try not to get touched. Use "waterman" and footwork to get away and avoid being touched.
- Try two people! Kids' games have the highest technique.
- To make it precise, you need precision to control body awareness.

## How Does a Master Like Sifu Practice?

- What I do is not try to move; I try to be aware.
- Try to be aware of what I wasn't aware of before.
- Try to be aware of all the disciplines—did I follow them?
- Try to be aware: Am I lost in the mental effort of trying to be aware, or is there just joy? Create a natural being.
- Do not use the mind so carefully that you get stuck in being "mentally careful."

## What is "Empty" for a Master?

- If you have something and try to empty it, then there is still an "I" there.
- For example: If you are aware of silence, you will not try to be aware that you are aware of silence.
- It is actually not even being aware that you are silent; then you are into it deeper.

## Observing Life Sound Bodhisattva Technique

*This is the fastest way to an out-of-body experience.*

- **First Stage: Aware of Sound**
  - Be aware of all sound and be free from attachment. Be non-judgmental and free from your "I." Be free from labels and personal relationships toward those sounds.
- **Second Stage: Aware of Body**
  - Start to lose that attachment and then you are back to your body.
  - Then your body will start to correct itself.
  - When the body is not attached or hooked to everything, then a natural being starts to direct it into the meditation zone.
  - Your whole body will move automatically in a gentle way. Everything straightens and opens into what we are looking for: Taiji, the highest level.
- **Third Stage: Aware of Silence**
  - When you are in perfect balance, you will start to be free from this body.
  - You are not even aware of this body. You are aware of silence.
  - Something is free from all of these things outside the body.
  - It is like existing in a totally different way than normal.
  - Everything is calm, peaceful, and quiet. There is no gravity, no tension; it is very joyful.
  - The smile goes very deep.
  - Normally the third eye can open and you start to see lights.
  - That light, joy, and calm motion is whatever you call silence.
  - At some point, you will become aware you are in that stage and say, "This is awesome." Then that "awesome" feeling starts to go away because the "I" appears again.
  - If you can remain free from that, that joy is silence. The calm feeling will disappear and then you are out of body.
- **Fourth Stage: Back to Essence**
  - Once you lose connection to your body, you are back to your essence.

## Sifu’s Development with Moving Meditation

- I have experienced out-of-body many, many times. I have experienced this light, joyful, calm, and free feeling.
- In fact, when I was young, I could suddenly go into it very deeply, but I was not able to stay in it every time. I have developed a skill to go into it every time through moving meditation.
- If I move with philosophy, I change my intention and become free from all connections. I enter that light, free, and delicate state—like a lotus blooming.
- Using hand signals, I slowly become aware of my body like a piece of feather or lotus petals blooming; then you will become very, very light.
- I have become a master of that skill.
- For my own brain consciousness to understand it, I still miss a lot of detail. Now I am trying to be aware of more detail to help you develop it for yourself.
- Now that I have trained to be lighter and lighter through Taiji, it becomes a bridge for me to enter that state quickly.

## When You Practice Tai Chi

- **Technique:**
  - You want to be aware of more delicate detail, a lighter feeling, and a "no-I" stress state.
- **What to Avoid:**
  - Avoid trying hard at this or trying hard at that.
  - Do not worry or be afraid that you are not doing well.
  - Do not have an "I" there saying, "Okay, I am observing myself doing it correctly."
  - None of this will help you reach the highest level.
  - In the beginning, you need to observe if you are following the procedure. Observe until you know you are really following it and you are no longer resisting it.
- **First Stage: Procedure is our Foundation**
  - Power from the foot.
  - Laser line.
  - Puma stomach.
  - Balloon chest to whole body.
  - Out of fingers like a silkworm line.
  - Whole body light like a balloon.
- **Second Stage: Start of Creation**
  - Once the foundation is set, you can create feelings of: Water waves, river flowing, waterfall flowing, and a light, cloudy feeling.
  - Take a long time to be aware of: Mentality, attitude, character, intention, and the function of Tai Chi.
  - Aware until your subconscious can go into it; then you graduate.
- **Third Stage: Intuition**
  - Use intuition to create what you want to appear.

---

**Question:** Did you say imagine using a feather, or lotus blooming was a good way for us to start to practice?

**Answer:**

- When I charge up and then have a falling feeling, I am not "trying to move like a feather."
- I am trying to feel that lightness.
- Then that lightness itself will find the right angle to move in a beautiful way.
- With the lotus blooming, I can feel every cell in my skin blooming. The breathing opens, and that lightness appears from there and goes to my whole body.
- I go through that energy and use hand guiding to transfer that to my whole body; then I can go into deep meditation.

## Homework

1. Do a small part of your form.
2. Go into that delicate, light, and beautiful procedure. Find that timeless and smooth "every present" feeling.
3. Use a weapon or no weapon.
4. Send the recording 🙂

### Qian Kun 8 Sun Awakening - Part 3 - You are not your experience
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/qian-kun-8-sun-awakening-part-3-you-are-not-your-experience/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
# Qian Kun 8 Sun Awakening Part 3: You are not your experience.

## Hear full recording here:

## You are not your experience.

Last part of the philosophy was teaching us that our self is not whatever the experience we have.

And we take the experience we have and the one aware of the experience is called number 7 consciousness, I consciousness

But whatever we experience we think THAT ONE is I

So whatever the I is, united with all of those experience and the power receive that experience – these two are number 7 and number 8 consciousness.

SO one is called ‘whatever create the I’ which is the experience

And one is capability to accept that creation.

And we think that is ourselves as well.

And so our experience is generally have many different layers.

- Some are feelings in an emotion way,
- some are feelings in a moody way,
- some are feelings in a strong desire way,
- some are feelings in a strong mental way,
- some are feelings in a physical way,
- some are feelings in an intuition way,

But they all belong to feelings.

And those different types of feelings all beyond to experience.

So your experience will received and hidden in a super computer. Much more than your brain could remember, every detail, go back to see every present. You receive subconsciousnessly every detail.

> So when you are out of your body it will all play back for your own judgement.

Because you are aware of more now to judge.

Like I say, it’s not like you have an I judgement, yourself don’t even judge, actually aware of all and then it will mix and become a colour like blue and yellow and become green.

**And this colour is a force for reincarnation.**

## Out of reincarnation

And if we want to goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land we want to make sure we mix a lot of pure water. Make all the pollution steam out with a filter, come out only pure water.

The more we do that, the more we have a filter system or lotus system, change muddy dirt into beautiful flower the more we add in that power, then number 7 and number 8, whatever we receive from this lifetime or past lifetimes they start to change to become Amitabha Buddha system.

If we don’t do that then we will create more dirt and then all colours together become dirty colour.

So all the mixture come from your 1 – 6 consciousness.

1 – 5 is all automatic system from eyes, ears, nose, tongue, all the way to body touching, six is to analyse and to have a name, use names to create language and then use language to analyse everything.

Number 7 is a power of feel you are different from others, you are not others. and that power receive all the six sense information, and then say that is my experience, I am so. Some of those experiences your brain consciousness will not even be aware of. But your feeling, subconsciousness, all your deeper I consciousness will aware.

> Example: Like sometimes you don’t have a lot of self confidence, your brain don’t even think about it. But lack of self-confidence already there. And sometimes you are fearful, and your brain say I don’t want to show it. So you have to tell yourself, “I’m going to show smiling, joy and self-confidence.” Your brain will do that and body will do that BUT your I consciousness will have fear and worry underneath.

And then all of this can be contradiction. Doesn’t matter which one. They all go as a memory in your number 8 consciousness. What memory? “**You are doing a contradiction**” memory. 1-6 cover your weakness. Number 8 is 100% clear, your true one, your fake one, both illusion anyway.

Whatever is called the true one is the one you take a true. And the fake one is when you don’t like the true one, and pretend it is true.

Take one blindly as truth. Pretending another is truth. Both of them recorded as number 8.

Like people who love to fight and show them how big they are. But underneath so weak. Because they are not trying to convince other people, they are trying to convince themselves. Many big tough guys are like this, that’s how they become aggressive. Show 1 – 6 as strong, but 7 a lot of self-doubt and weak.

Really strong people will never want to prove to the others, because they know they are going to win anyway! Their skill, knowledge and wisdom to make stronger so there is no need to show off.

**This kind of contradiction will all be stored in number 8.**

Number 8 will show how you have this and how you react to other people, in every second what you experience inside and outside and yourself connected to others, it will all become a precise 3d information recorded, hidden installed in your number 8 consciousness.

**So 1 – 8 consciousness are 8 different you.**

And then they multiply to create even more between.

Some of them connect, eyes and mouth connect together become big stomach! Eyes searching for ice cream and pizza and beer taste, “I want that taste, where is it!” Then create a big stomach. Brain join in, “No, no, whatever the mouth is searching for right now make big stomach, no! Then there is a recalculate, and whoever win become a result. The taste win? Stomach bigger, brain win, stomach smaller. If brain win, eyes will change, “Don’t look at the cakes!”

If stomach win then brain will say “I will love weight tomorrow!” And then tomorrow say same thing.

So they are fighting there.

## Awakening

> **The Qian Kun 8 Sun awakening is to make each consciousness, each I, become eternal wisdom I.**

And when they all become eternal wisdom I, then suddenly they become awakened together, you will become Bodhisattva.

And then through whatever one is the leading, stronger, you will from there become Buddha.

So receive and create unlimited Dharma joyful smell is from nose. To aware, all the smell are illusion and come from our consciousness blindly create it and if you are spiritual you will try to create a smell which will bring harmony. Bring joy for yourself and others, sensitive from that. And then receive all the kindness good intention, beautiful smell for yourself and unlimited life. Through that you create a Pure Land, incredible Dharma Joy smell universe. Many Universe together become Pure Land. And finally become Buddha through that.

There is always one you create stronger, and through that become Buddha.

And some is from ideas to purify all the others. Then wisdom ideas will become the strongest and then you will become a brightness aware, observing eternal wisdom Buddha and there is unlimited wisdom you can teach every life in unlimited way. If you are on this planet, your suffering is created through this way and then how you are stuck in that suffering and how you can release it, and you can teach many wisdom ideas as a philosophy help them understand them and free from suffering.

## Awaken number 7 Consciousness

And if some are living in number 7 consciousness realise, whatever we call I is not really physical I, because whatever is a mix is not our true self. Because it is mixed from others, and other not yourself anyway. So your body is 100% mixed, so it is not you. Your blindness collects them, and creates a temporary connection to them, and you blindly connect and then you cannot be aware of your true self anymore. So you understand, if you actually understand your heart through meditation observe and understand that truth and free from connected to your body your I still exists, but you back to your eternal true self and through that, you will become awakened, become no-I bright awareness Buddha. The bright awareness is the awakened consciousness without limited in physical I, and through that make all the other senses follow it and become free. So there is one you will develop stronger and through that make all the other consciousness follow.

So if you observe from number 8, of all the experience are just experience and not me either, all experience mixed so not you, body mixed so not you. Mixed body need mixed experience to receive from many causes mixed together. Dream of dreams.

Those information change anyway and if you don’t follow them then you can recreate them.

> For example, somebody feel anxious. You can be stuck there with that anxious feeling and say oh that is me I’m an anxious person. That’s double blindness. Or say I’m anxious, okay, what cause it? Of I drink too much coffee, caffeine and not enough food so my stomach to make the blood go there, so I’m super-hyper, so anxious was not you.

Same for fear, worry, try hard, negative experience is also not you.

Same for all positive experience as well if it through ego, then eventually will become negative. Because the ego creates a blind belief “that is positive.” It’s not true positive, it is fake positive.

I’m going to do my best to follow something incredible meaningful to follow Buddhism, all positive, underneath is just ego. It’s not see through there is no such thing as an I, “I’m going to….” it’s bullshit. Actually aware Buddhism is 100% correct just calm, peace, joy, willing heart ah to aware that philosophy and because you are totally aware of that philosophy you become that philosophy with joy. You follow with joy, you become it with joy, no try hard at all.

Try hard I will make you stuck in try hard. No wisdom to get. If there is something to get then try hard I appear there.

**Pure positive don’t have I want to get wisdom. Don’t have I want to reach anywhere. Pure willing heart, joyful heart, aware through all these wisdom, equal heart, we are all equal, equally want to be free from suffering, equally want to enjoy life.**

## Kindness-Being Heart

Through that understanding become a kindness-being heart. That is through eternal wisdom so equal heart not going to change. Nobody want suffering its just they don’t know how to create joy. Deeply suffering is not what they are looking for either. They want to feel free to understand everything to enjoy life.

So the foundation all the same that’s why it is equal heart, just development is different.

That is why Bodhisattva aware equal heart and also aware the difference without judgemental.

Aware different is “oh that’s different.”

Judgemental is you have an I there to do judgement.

> For example:
> 
> Seanpig and Belen are different.
> 
> Seanpig eat a lot with joy.
> 
> Belen can cook a lot with joy.
> 
> That’s different.

Personal… oh… if Seanpig there I will eat less! So better I choose Belen. Now my greedy ego involved want to eat more food myself.

Aware the difference don’t need all that mental, ego, greedy I judgement.

That is why Bodhisattva aware equal heart and also aware the difference without judgemental habit.

## Awaken Number 8 Consciousness

Through that you awaken.

You understand all the experience you have is not you either.

Then your heart becomes more free from everything.

The true essence I is not to get something and not to blindly follow all your feeling, mental, or physical, or your desire. This is all part of your experience.

Actually see through all of them that power is your true I.

Then you see through the illusion and realise your power doesn’t belong to any of this illusion.

You are free, you are not any of this limitation.

At that moment, all the suffering from feeling you are trapped will suddenly disappear, they are just illusion anyway, they come and go, all mixed together, from others.

This is the most powerful, when this number 8 awaken all the others will awaken also.

**So hidden consciousness is the most difficult to be awaken but it is the strongest. When this one awaken you become Bodhisattva. From there become Buddha very quickly.**

Aware your experience is not you, they are mixed, come from others, they are not you and your true heart aware of that and free from them/that. From there you will right away into an unlimited Dharma joy zone. If you can remain in that wisdom.

The first level of Bodhisattva is called **Grounded Eternal Dharma Unlimited Joy,** and they have one special ability, that they can stay in unlimited Dharma Joy, steady, because they understand life is illusion.

Like when someone explains a negative habit you have and you get heavy and down. You take personal. You can’t understand life is illusion yet! Appreciate chance to improve.

If you understand life is illusion you will want to understand the truth, no good or bad. You will calm down to communicate, understand logically. If you don’t think so then say so. So don’t right away put personal, create calm neutral gear to communicate.

That will make you judge your habits clearer. Understand life is illusion means it’s our teacher.

## GD shares a philosophy

> **“If life is not illusion, nothing would change, no changing no life.”**

What does illusion mean here?

Illusion is constantly changing, the changing comes from others, the way it constantly changes is it never repeats. If it didn’t change, it would be fixed, there is no way to talk right now!

It has to change.

Way it changes is from others, can’t change by itself, it has to interact with others. If it didn’t interact with others it would be stuck in that way not changing.

Because it comes from others, it has no individual self (it is always from combinations of others.)

Yet individual self still appears, so that’s why we say it is illusion. Appear as separate individual but never separate, individual.

If it didn’t change there is no life then.

If one thing stops, then it sets off chain reaction to break the chain of causation. But causation never stop, so you can say life is unlimited.

Our consciousness work the same way, it is constantly searching, wanting something different and new, faster, shinier, it also keeps this changing going and keeps us stuck in the cycle of reincarnation.

So if we obscure the essence, then that is the only power that is not changing. **So what is aware of all the changing, doesn’t change.**

## Sifu explains no-I

Appearing form come from other appearing form.

Consciousness creates all the appearing form.

So others also means consciousness.

But True self consciousness has no form.

So when they say no-I, doesn’t mean no-I.

It just mean when you take appearing form as I, that I, is fake.

There is no I.

Like in a dream, you dream of many I there, but truly no I there.

No-I, means dream illusion has no I.

Now we learn 8 consciousness so we know there are 8 I.

But all 8 can unite together so still just one I.

And one I has no form so Zero I, empty I.

But empty I can create unlimited I, divide through meditation, like Bodhisattva in one second can create one trillion I, in one galaxy, and do that in 100 billion galaxies, higher level can do in 100 billion universe, become their body I, creation Dharma Pure Land I. Universal Bodhisattva I. They purify those universes.

## Create a wise dream

No I means whatever you connect and create as a dream I.

Understand what does illusion mean. It means choose a good dream.

Create a wise dream intention for yourself to awaken.

- Choose Pure Land;
- Choose follow Amitabha Buddha wisdom and will;
- Make this life a pure heart and pure intention,
- no ego intention,
- equal heart intention,
- harmony intention,
- natural kindness-being intention,
- care without stress or worry intention,
- never want to be lazy intention,
- never want to be anxious try hard intention,
- see through all the blind greedy illusion intention,
- awaken all this incredible wisdom heart and kindness heart intention.

Then you are observing wise choice create your own land in every present then you will of course will connect to Amitabha Buddha, then life is not just going to be perfect, or now perfect or sometimes in the past perfect, you will feel life is totally perfect. Past help you learn wisdom and future you will continue to develop even higher level wisdom ability.

No matter whether past, present or future as time doesn’t even bother you, doesn’t exist, they all equally perfect now, no comparing heart, unlimited perfect. By time, by intention, thinking, speaking, action will all grow perfect. Life is unlimited eternal perfect become always joyful natural being, and that is becoming Bodhisattva.

No doubt any consciousness choose to develop Bodhisattva system will go to Amitabha Buddha Pure Land.

So we use both systems together to make sure our incredible lucky karma to learn both goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land for sure.

Pure Land is never in the past, present or future. Pure Land is inside your heart. When your heart purify with eternal wisdom, Pure Land starts, no beginning no end, to shine all the way help you connect to Amitabha Buddha, become Bodhisattva and Buddha and create Pure Land help unlimited life.

And that is the Unlimited Light, Unlimited Dharma Joy, Unlimited kindness eternal force in all of us hidden.

That is why we learn Pure Land system, to open up this Pure Land force, the unlimited perfect seed in our true heart.

# Practical take aways:

1\. Practice to create calm neutral gear to communicate clearly and logically, not right away take heavy and personal ego involved. Appreciation needs practice as well;

2\. Practice to observe “**You are not your experience.**” Experience is mixed and come from others. Include body and surroundings. Experience is changing. Eternal wisdom remain eternally true. Recreate equal heart to every life, a kindness-being heart to everyone;

3\. Practice “**Aware the difference.**” Means two things are different, but not good or bad, no personal-I involved for judgement;

4\. Practice to observe “**Whatever you connect to is whatever you are.**” See through try hard character, even towards Buddhism. If you connect with joy, you can be it with joy;

5\. Practice observing “**Life is illusion means it is our teacher for learning life.**” Whatever happens, enjoy to practice an attitude of appreciation to learn from it.

6\. Meditation practice: “**Life is illusion, constantly changing. And what is aware of all the changing, your essence, doesn’t change**.”

7\. Practice observing when they say no-I in philosophy it doesn’t mean no-I at all, otherwise who is learning? It means like in a dream we create many I, but none of them can be found, that kind of no-I. Our True Self consciousness has no form but is always there.

Found these awesome meditation philosophies and united them into one file. Thought it would be nice to help some of the newer generations connect to dharma joy through regular meditation practice 🙏🏼😊

The first list are different meditation techniques that build and can be united together.

The second part explains different levels of meditation…. there were an unlucky number of them so I labeled the last two as 12 😉 loophole 😀🤗🙏🏼😊

1\. Observe without Intention, Curious  
2\. Whole body breathing, feel space between every nerve in your entire body. Your whole body will expand as you breathe in, feel the air travel to every part of your body and make it expand to feel lighter.  
3\. Buddha smile, back to innocence  
4\. No good, no bad, no personal judgment  
5\. Observe the observer  
1\. No judgement, no label to all sounds  
2\. No relative between awareness ability and illusion being  
3\. United Dao. Because there’s no relative, the eternal truth appears. All nature is always united. And all nature is in four different parts as a united cycle: appear, develop, destroy and disappear.  
4\. Not the same, not different. Aware both at the same time, unlimited different appearance and the essence is empty.  
5\. As the same, as different. As the same life is always illusion. As different, blind consciousness don’t know life is illusion. But awakened consciousness are truly aware life is illusion.  
6\. Completely awakened consciousness. Life is still eternally an illusion, but complete awakened consciousness has unlimited compassion and wisdom to create unlimited perfect illusion.

Different Levels Of Meditation

1.Regular life meditation,

2.Tai chi moving meditation,

3\. Generosity, discipline, patience, concentration united together is the foundation of meditation.

4\. Concentrate to be aware of all the completely opposite forces in life. Lively Wild free and no tension calm and sharp.

5\. Free heart is Sitting down releasing mind psychology from I and my.

6\. Stop negative and purely observe life.

7\. Desire, when consciousness is not looking to get or being possessive of any desire.

8\. Passion is extreme excitement without any ambition or any stress.

9\. Physical-moving in harmony free of tension, being in present aware of any future potential.

10\. Emotion-open heart to feel other life or philosophy. Kind and care towards others or  
Content, calm, joyful and free with philosophy.

11\. Thinking, purely observing the truth of life. Not just calculating what u want. Joyful heart will appear because u are free from judging comparing heart and you will be impressed by the amazing power behind the truth of life.

12\. Calculate by heart and teach through intuition speaking wisdom ability.

12\. Intuition meditation ability is to be free from illusion I directly aware of other space.
### Dharma Observer Philosophy

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
Sound you hear sound.

No sound you hear silence.

Ability to be aware is always there, eternal, never changes.

Observing self being bodhisattva aware the highest, observe the sound. Observe Buddhahood is not the sound, not the silence, not good not bad, not brightness or darkens, but the ability to be aware of all that’s Buddhahood.

Buddha is the ability to remain aware Buddhahood and help everyone become aware.

Great force bodhisattva observe all 6 sense to be aware our essence, instead of using them to be lost in external information. Purify then then we can be into Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land.

Aware the essence is not to think, it’s the power behind.

It’s like a boat help you get to the other side, then you have to let go of the boat.

Listen to the listening ability, not listening the information, sound or silent. Who is listening, that’s the essence, not what you hear.

> **Not aware the essence is like a blind man to clean the place, bumps into everything and can’t see the dust.** 
> 
> **Aware the essence is like clean with the lights on, can clean out all the dust.**

Out of the essence lost in the 6 sense information. If your heart doesn’t take this with possessive blindness, then your heart in this lifetime can experience internal pure land, even in this world.

What is Buddhahood?

Never hold, hold nothing and nothing can be held, remain pure.

Blindness force makes us always lost in blindness searching heart, that is the bad emperor.

We have to bring back the good emperor, hold nothing.

Our essence when it’s open it’s bigger than any space, all the universe.

When it’s shrunken there is nothing smaller or more detail, smaller than any atom, smaller than empty space.

If you create positive, joyful energy, then you spread this everywhere. Create negative energy you spread this everywhere. Once we are aware of our essence we will still be lost in our blind I and mine. One side has to be aware of not being lost in the blindness, other side has to be aware of the essence, remain with that pureness.

5 types of pollution make us not aware our essence.

1. Greedy for money
2. Possessive for materials
3. Crazy for famous
4. Greedy for eat
5. Lazy for sleeping

The trick of greedy is you will get something and you will be happy. But you get it and want more. You’re just lost in the greedy power.

Someone jump from a building when they jump they feel regret. Who regrets? The Buddhahood, regrets that they didn’t develop.

Have a big bed but if your heart is restless you will not sleep.

Have a small bed and your heart is peaceful you will sleep deep.

> **So it’s not about the materials, it’s about pure heart to enjoy.**

When people say they are good, doesn’t mean they are good. When they say they are bad, doesn’t mean they are bad. That is their illusion.

No coming or going.

Coming is searching

Going is possessive.

Not coming, not going, nothing bother you.

Possessive and searching create all the troubles and worry.

Observing self being

Observing for blind self being

Observing our self being and aware we still have a lot of blindness

Observing power is the self being, so no need to observe anymore.

After that realize self is a combination, no true individual self.

Then aware everything is all just being together, which is all causation United as illusion.

Because it’s illusion, then being is nothing being, so even being disappear.

**Even being disappear then back to pure empty.**

> Some people do the meditation very concentrated to purify them self, but then in normal life they don’t try to purify.
> 
> The reality is in normal life you have to train as the main cause.
> 
> Meditation is a short time, regular life is a lot of time.
> 
> **So training regular life there will create the greatest force.**

Speaking karma is the quickest way to make a mistake. When bad intention appear, put a zipper to your mouth. Or it will create bad karma so quick, faster than any action takes.

Try hard to purify blocks your power. **Directly aware life is illusion and essence is pure.**

Amitabha Buddha want to take away suffering and provide unlimited joy. If we want to get rid of suffering receive unlimited joy, then “double will”, will match.

In philosophy class you just practice and train. If you can’t bring the philosophy into your normal life then you’re training hasn’t graduated.

**When you fail from a test, it’s not to complain, it’s to have appreciate heart to learn more.**

Birth and death is just possessive heart to the information.

When possessive heart can let go, no beginning no end can appear.

“*Namu*”

- can also mean observing.

“*Amituo fo”*

- is our true self.

So Namu Amituo fo is like observing self being.

Namu aware observing is our essence.
### The 2 basic forces of life

# The 2 basic forces of life

## The two basic forces of life which control all life’s activity on Earth.

Searching for security – which is the desire to exist and the desire to continue existing – both is the power of survival.

The desire to escape suffering and desire to experience pleasure and happiness

These 2 forces govern all life’s direction on earth. But even though all life is controlled by these 2 forces, the level that they’re aware of satisfaction is different.

When a beggar is hungry for days, to have some food to eat is already happiness.

A king that owns land and many fortunes and controls many people, for him to satisfy his security is to own more land, more fortune and to control more people.

For these 2 the beggar and the king their standard of satisfaction is like the earth to the sky but still both are not away from this basic force principal.

For example:

A guy studies Medicine. Apart from studying, like all young guys, he enjoys playing around with girls too. His desire to become a Dr. is strong but his desire for sex is stronger. In the end if the study is too hard and he chooses women he cares more about fast pleasure. If he chooses study over women he cares more about long-term security.

Its important to understand our sub-consciousness otherwise you can waste time following something that is against the sub-consciousness and reach nowhere.

In the above instance the student who cares more about fast pleasure through his mind tells him he has to study, he will not be able to make his study a success. In the end he could end up with no degree and no girl.

Basically if we go against our sub-consciousness we will end in suffering. But if our sub-consciousness is thirsty for some blind desire we will also end in suffering – like a moth flying to a flame.

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:04.000Z
# How to read, observe and understand the Heart Sutra.

Dharma has no suffering, no tension connect to heart sutra.

## **Until you can understand every word from every angle then you truly don’t understand yet.**

About your own level of understanding….

- can you see many angles,
- knowledge vs ability,
- life repeat unless you can see through illusion,
- causation
- can you understand your own direction?
- 5 developments see through them?

**Heart sutra**

> Brightly aware the five developments are empty then release all the suffering.

I teach this part deeply as it is the foundation of the Heart Sutra; if you understand quite deep then you can read the rest and get it.

1st Break

When we are learning the Heart Sutra we break it up to make it easier to understand. You can say this is the first break – firstly use your heart to aware the eternal truth and to reach nirvana enlightened completely aware of the truth of life. Which is actually developing the six Bodhisattva characters.

2nd Break

“Observing Self-Being Bodhisattva

Each word you can pick out and talk for years on about it.

1. **Observing**  
  1. with ego, with desire, with personal emotion, with mental game, with physical movement, with passion,
  2. all of that in blind way,
  3. all in dry mental logical way,
  4. all in emotional attachment way,
  5. all that that without any personal without ego way.
  6. Definition  
    1. to look, to think,  
      1. ( to memories, to analyses, organize,)
    2. or transit to become a strength,  
      1. ability in which direction,
      2. which process not yet strength,
      3. which direction sometimes just to brain as knowledge.
    3. **Self**  
      1. means true self? Or
      2. illusion character self,
      3. relative self,
      4. timing  
        1. temporary time physical I, character I, identity I in earth, relationship I, deeper spiritual self
      5. **Being**  
        1. everything in universe is being so we can talk about whole universe.
        2. Being what?  
          1. Why it appear to be that way? Why will disappear? If it’s not supposed to be why it would appear?

**Until you can understand every word from every angle then you truly don’t understand yet.**

Bodhisattva – talk about consciousness beyond our level, learned with master help you develop intuition level – by heart, energy, body, intention, attitude, character, relationship aware your speaking, mentality, posture, habits many details, all of that with eternal wisdom behind. Understand that for billion lifetimes then you have a change to become bodhisattva. I between your brain consciousness reach to a level it is perfect. So you actually go to help people. So you have to practice million lifetimes until you can do it without suffering. Then become bodhisattva.

Not only ability but awareness and then you can talk about each awareness how to develop that specific one. Million times stronger than Sifu. And each bodhisattva has billion different awareness abilities, so each one how to develop million life times.

Brightly aware – bright means not dark, aware you understand can feel it, but which level of feeling or knowing count as aware. And what level of brightness, bright life or bright heart how can heart can be aware – so abstract, how do you make it true knowledge and then true awareness from heart. Ideas to ability

Next break

Five developers are empty

Five developments – why you have to know these? What are they, each one what is it, when you know it why is that good? Know it to which goal?

Empty – not just understand five developments but why they are empty. How each one and together are empty.

Then release all suffering – understand five developments, why they are empty aware all knowledge perfectly, then transfer that knowledge to develop the ability to release all suffering. Understand each suffering and how to release each one.

That’s how deep it is.

From a class on the 28th of April, 2013
### The easy way how to handle life is the way how to challenge it in a wise way.
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/the-easy-way-how-to-handle-life-is-the-way-how-to-challenge-it-in-a-wise-way/
Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:50:09.000Z
# The easy way how to handle life is the way how to challenge it in a wise way. 

There are 5 points and one from Giant Dog so six.

## Life is incredible complicated and difficult.  

How complicated? Think about how many millions of galaxies… and each galaxy inside how many millions of stars… and how many stars have planets with a million lifeforms on it like earth – life is 100% complicated and difficult.

But that actually makes life exciting – if life was easy life would be very boring – no life – nothing would change, so dull, life would not exist if life was simple – no evolution, everything so weak, and get damaged.

The challenge is a positive way involve your consciousness so you get a stronger body next life, stronger body, all these challenges are perfect – face it with smiling!

Each 5 has a lesson and points.

First secret to make life easy for you – life remains difficult, just not for you – you have wisdom to see through life and match the system of life and that makes life easier to feel. 

## **First one: Direct Heart**

What is it?

Ie Timpig deals with clients but this one didn’t want to pay him. He should say this is how much money I can save you, you only have to pay this much so good benefit for you – want to do it or not I’m happy to help – otherwise you lose that much money – but you have to pay now. Directly make them know you are doing good things for them and its fair – be fair truthful and direct is a nice attitude.

His psychology takes him away from it – “Oh if I’m too direct they won’t like me or get scared of it, but then you get a client who doesn’t pay him.”

When direct heart get damaged, mask, wall, between you and others, becomes social not with true open direct heart – this is how your heart gets polluted.

Through wisdom clean out pollution then your direct heart can appear.

To build up that power – there are 4 points:

### 1 – Natural Will

It mans everything you do is truly your heart has observed clearly that is meaningful and beautiful and makes sense. So you really want to do it. 

Ie I told Giant Dog that sometimes I’m so tired, OC Saturday and Sunday, 2 days almost no sleep. But in the class I right away have so much power again, no one would know I was so tired and didn’t sleep whole night.

Because in that class my natural heart gives me so much power – your heart is stronger than physical – it is eternal whereas your body is not. So when you have natural heart you have strength to feel the situation and what you really want to do. 

> **That direct heart has to come from natural will.**

2 WAYS

#### 1a – Use wisdom

#### 1b – See clearly life’s principle and create a spiritual role model for what you should be and how you should be and then natural will will grow.

#### Use Wisdom

Natural will whatever you do is not because you HJAVE to do because of other people, or emotion reasons – it changes to become wisdom reason – you do it because of wisdom NOT emotion – emotion is beautiful but not personal blind emotion – only when it is connected to wisdom does it become beautiful, wise emotion. When blind you cut it out.

From wisdom emotion, from value from observation, then your heart will open itself – yes I have no doubt I want to do that – you get strength.

Do it because it is meaningful, its logical, it makes sense.

ie cooking – you have to cut off the green bits and 2 sides of onions, it takes too much stomach power, too much acid to digest and then the green bits make you fart everywhere – the book explained so I’m happy to follow it – so after that it makes sense – outside layers also so remove then – when you learn the logic its simple.

> **Natural will must come from wisdom – meaning, value, essence, function, goal – what way you do will make sense.**

You do it and it makes you unhappy – you do it for personal emotion, or make other people happy, blind personal emotion influence you, habit, or society standard.

Society standard takes all the time, every year and people in top position – ie China – they don’t follow rules they create rules to control people. Your not against it – takes too much power – but don’t blindly follow it

#### Spiritual Role Model

Also – what do you want to be – be the perfect life? 

Is it really open heart, loving everybody, caring everybody – then you think thats the way to live life – I want to be that way – suddenly you naturally be that way.

Not like I have to be kind but underneath I’m greedy and selfish – that’s not the kind of life.

I want to be this – what should a perfect life be? 

Clear, consciousness awaken, suddenly natural will open.

And you make yourself progress to become spiritual role model.

2 – Joy Heart

3 – United Force

4 – ?

### 3 Kinds of kindness.. Short Summary
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/3-kinds-of-kindness-short-summary/
Last updated: 2020-05-04T00:50:09.000Z
From book 30 types of kindness – to help Bodhisattva develop.

Summary

1\. True kindness

Waiting for right timing

Timing to find seeds ready to grow. Help them learn the truth of life, show them kindness and wisdom to learn life

2\. Equal kindness 

Aware all life has the same essence. You’re not scared anymore, completely calm kindness (to patiently help every life)

Teach life not to take temporary ego this lifetime so serious, to create their own worry and fear – because create life in this way is not perfect

Help other life understand the essence of life is not what you create – it is a power behind this body …teach life ‘I am not this body’

Like dirt – dirt can be shaped to form something, but it is never that something.. It remains dirt

Help their consciousness not get lost

3\. Free from worry kindness

Teach other life No possessive, no ego, don’t take own ego serious in this temporary illusion or even to what they connect to.

This kindness can help others to be kind to every life.

# Where does life come from?

The Intention of Consciousness

There are three types of Consciousness:

Brain-Consciousness:

This relates to your senses from 1 – 6:

Smell  
Taste  
Touch  
Hearing  
Thinking (In Buddhism, Thinking is the 6th sense. This is where your Logic power comes from)  
Sub-Conscious:

The sub-conscious relates to both Desire and Emotion, and can last for many lifetimes as a habit.

For example, one may have lived a perfectly normal, joyful life, however they have a deep constant fear of their surroundings for no logic reason.

Sometimes ones Conscious and Sub-Conscious will cause a contradiction, as not all emotion is logic. It is then that the Logic of ones Conscious will fight with the blind Emotion of ones Sub-Conscious.

Hidden Conscious:

This Consciousness is the Potential power of unlimited awareness ability. A Buddha becomes Buddha once they have unlocked and revealed their Hidden Conscious.

Definition of Humble

Human style: Cause of humble from human style can be from: lack of self sure, or impressed and admire of others, as well as logically aware there is something more to learn. Another type is forced to be forbearance humble.

Monk Style: Monk is searching to be empty and purify themselves out of reincarnation to reach nirvana, for that they are already humble because they know there is something to develop. Their humble however, comes from searching heart, they are searching for wisdom.

Higher level than humble: Sincere respect.

Bodhisattva and Buddha do not show humble. Bodhisattva show Buddha sincere respect and appreciate heart. In Buddhism, humble does not exist. They are rising that quality into sincere respect of Dharma Joy.

Human and Monk’s humble is through I and condition. So when the situation change, humble will disappear.

Boddhisattva’s sincere respect is eternal, through understand Eternal Wisdom.

# Definitions

## **Definition of Awareness**

- Creates our feeling about life.
- The result from whatever we connect to in life (Illusion being, receiving, thinking, and action.)
- The 5th Development (From [Five developments philosophy](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/11/20/how-to-purify-the-five-developments/?ref=dropsofdharma.com))

## **Definition of Awareness boundary**

- What we live in every second.
- We can only feel what we are aware of and nothing more. So we are limited in what we can experience.
- But life is unlimited so our own blindness, our ego creates our awareness boundary.
- Buddha can see the complete view of life so he has no awareness boundary anymore.
- So to break our awareness boundary we have to understand life deeper by observing and practice eternal wisdom. Free from our limited ego we can receive new information about life and create new awareness boundary until one day we become Buddha.
- [How to observe awareness boundary](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2017/09/26/awareness-boundary-is-temporary/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)?
- [How to be free from awareness boundary](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/02/23/8-stage-meditation-free-from-awareness-boundary/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)?

## **Definition of Awareness ability**

- Ability to connect to and feel life
- Another word for consciousness (*see consciousness definition*.)
- [Every life is different](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/06/18/dharma-class/?ref=dropsofdharma.com) – otherwise why do you need to learn? All Starts at empty (blind) empty then when become Buddha all reach full empty. In between all different.
- Essence of awareness ability is consciousness.

## **Definition of Chakra**

- Mysterious, no-form, unlimited energy gates created by our 84,000 different intentions a second
- Each life directs these energy gates in two directions: blindness, awakened.
- [A Chakra is a main energy centre within our body](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2018/10/07/7-chakras-2/?ref=dropsofdharma.com). It connects to our nervous system and meridian lines in a very complex system. You can also imagine a chakra as an airport that allows an airplane to fly to a different destination and the path the airplane takes between two airports would be like the meridian lines within our human body. The power that enables the airplane to fly is the energy (this includes both the petrol and the engine – like our blood and nervous system). The passengers in the plane are the information of our intention, which directs how we use our energy for different types of activities.
- Observe 7 parts: Desire ocean, passion lights, physical activity, emotion (healing heart / black hole heart), thinking calculation, intuition ability, hidden consciousness. [Definition of each chakra](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2013/08/02/7-chakras/?ref=dropsofdharma.com).
- [How to purify chakras](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/03/05/purify-chakras/?ref=dropsofdharma.com)?
- Chakra is energy for a certain direction. It is a hub of this particular energy, it can be used as that energy alone but is typically combined with others.Modern life in dharma ending, through the influence of the surroundings, causes the chakra energy to be directed towards illusion being in a blind way. As the way the energy is used and practiced is blind, it causes the consciousness to remain trapped using the chakras in the blind direction of reincarnation, as the consciousness will never get the opportunity to learn how to direct the energy toward a pure direction. This is how reincarnation exists.If we analyse emotion for example, humans want to form relationships with other life or materials and all life effort is towards supporting this desire style of emotion. There is no energy left to redirect towards other life as compassion, sharing wisdom or kind/care. As this method of spending the energy is practiced in the same way over the course of one life, the human will automatically apply the same method in the next life creating the cycle of karma. For this reason purifying any one chakra even for a moment is actually purifying lifetimes and lifetimes of blind karma and causation.The chakra energy is there to be used, it is there to learn from to develop towards a perfect pure direction. The only way to purify is to see through the illusion and learn how to use this energy in a four eternal heart and six bodhisattva character direction. So they may be completely opened and full charged in a pure way and no longer lost and influenced into all the blind illusion.

## Definition of Consciousness

- The force which exists as potential to be aware of everything with no form. Only something with no form can aware of every form. [Totally empty, not even empty space form](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/06/18/dharma-class/?ref=dropsofdharma.com).
- Consciousness is more mysterious, abstract, deep and incredible than empty space. You use it to aware everything but you can’t aware of consciousness. So it’s a trick of a trick. It’s the most tricky and deep part of life.
- Because the trick is so deep that even empty space comes from consciousness. And all four elements comes from empty space.
- Consciousness has 2 sides – one side can be that incredible and mysterious. But the other side, can be blind. One side complete unlimited. One side so limited. To a point, even can make their lives come to an end. Make their illusion so real that they believe it is themselves. And of course that is illusion so the end cannot last.
- Consciousness is the most deep power from everything. Can create all the universes, all the empty space. All the universes are just tiny little sands compared to empty space. And all the empty space is just a little dream from consciousness.
- In fact, consciousness is the most unlimited, it is complete unlimited but also can create complete blindness and limitation.
- For that consciousness is unlimited in both ways, One Heart, Two Gates.
- The power to connect – is the true essence of life.
- It is pure and empty – which means it has no form so can be aware of any form.
- Consciousness has unlimited potential to be truly, brightly aware of all life, in all time and all space from every angle.
- Consciousness journey starts with empty empty consciousness.  
  - It starts with “I am what I am”.
  - Then it starts searching for itself.
  - Searching creates speed.
  - Memory of speed creates space and motion.
  - Where is it moving? This creates empty space, so space starts to appear.
  - Once space appears, time appears.
  - Then four element body appears to connect to the space
- At the beginning, your consciousness has two powers: one to be aware, one to be blind.  
  - If you never experience ego or blindness, how can you have wisdom to be aware of them?
  - So life starts with blindness. When you are pure, then you will see deeper.
- The Four Developments (Receiving, Thinking, Acting Awareness)
- The Six Functions of Consciousness (Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Body, and Mind Consciousness)
- The eight types of consciousness: Eyes, Ears, Nose, mouth, body, brain/thinking, sub/I, hidden.

## 

## Dharma

- Dharma is a word with the power to cover all.
- The word Dharma can explain life and the system of life.
- It has power to explain life from every angle.
- 8 types of Dharma | https://secrettruthoflife.com/2016/11/03/definition-of-dharma/

## 

## Ego

- Ego is when your consciousness takes its Individual I as the main purpose for its existence.
- I and my keyhole to view life.
- Any “I”, any ‘self’ consciousness creates to feel life.
- Because consciousness has no form, it creates an ‘I’ a ‘self’ to connect to life.
- But there are two types: blind ego and pure, wise, spiritual ego  
  - Blind ego  
    - From blind searching heart, the consciousness takes four element illusion as themselves, called temporary illusion I.
    - This limited view of life brings unlimited suffering. Trying to protect this view of themselves is impossible.
  - Pure, wise, spiritual ego  
    - From wisdom, wise consciousness can see through the trick of life, see any I as illusion, so no longer trying to get something from life, so develops ability to be remain free from falling into that trick.
    - Develops the ability to play any ego, for convenient wisdom function to help other life awaken.
    - This is called no-I.
    - This wisdom can create and share unlimited joy.
- Any ego I is suffering, because any ego I is not your True I.
- Ego is constantly changing  
  - For blind consciousness, ego constantly changing from blind desire.
  - For awakened consciousness, ego constantly changing from eternal will to help every life.
- Every life has ego, even Buddha.

## Emptiness

- The true essence of Dharma
- The essence of consciousness and all life forms
- Or the incredible eternal force
- Equal to illusion being (Heart Sutra)

## Empty

- In Buddhism the word empty is used in many ways to describe different subjects as empty.  
  - 1\. Nothing there empty
  - 2\. Thinking that there is something that is empty – Rohan think they have to find emptiness
  - 3\. Bored, lonely, useless feeling, heart is empty
  - 4\. Empty space is empty
  - 5\. Illusion being is empty – can appear with no essence as it comes from others, four elements are empty. If it comes from consciousness then it has no self already.
  - 6\. All appearing form is empty because:
  - Before it appears it’s empty
  - When it disappears it’s empty
  - So of course what is in between is surely empty.
  - 7\. Because of this, all appearing form is empty, whatever we receive is empty, and whatever we are aware of is empty.
  - Therefore illusion being, receiving thinking, acting, awareness are all empty.
  - 8\. Consciousness is empty – has no form therefore it’s empty
  - Depending on the subject you want to talk about is the type of empty you’re referring to or using.
- **Function of emptiness:**  
  - Free from thinking, fear and worry.
  - Because emptiness doesn’t have worry, thinking or fear. So emptiness is out of this pollution, out of all this blindness suffering.
  - If you see through all then you are back to a united one emptiness. This is referred to in Buddhism as – no two. Consciousness, illusion being, empty space are all one. You are out of the connection of having an I that connects to it. Therefore no two.

## Empty Space

- It’s the essence of all the other four elements. In fact, all the other four elements come from empty space moving. In fact because all the other four elements are unlimited, and they all come from this, **empty space is unlimited of unlimited.**
- Has more power than the whole universe because the whole universe can exist in empty space
- Pure illusion power
- When consciousness connects to empty space power the four unlimited eternal elements can appear to create illusion being.

## Energy

- Energy comes from unlimited empty space changing.
- Energy is not energy
- Energy is what we call energy
- Energy is a mystery, but it’s a mystery that we can be aware of
- Energy is existing but truly empty
- Energy is a creation, but without phenomenon reality (as in it can appear in a temporary time)
- **Energy move light is called wind.**
- **Energy move fast and lively is fire.**
- **When move heavier joined together and flow become water.**
- **When it moves steady and become solid form it is earth.**
- In fact because all the other four elements are unlimited, and they all come from this, **empty space is unlimited of unlimited.**

## 

## Definition of Essence

- [Something that never changes](https://secrettruthoflife.com/2019/06/18/dharma-class/?ref=dropsofdharma.com).
- The true essence of life cannot come from self
- The true essence of life cannot come from others
- The true essence of life cannot come from nowhere
- The true essence of life cannot be created
- The true essence of life cannot be destroyed
- Because if it can be created it’s not the essence. But if it cannot not to be created then nothing can change.
- As it is not created and can’t be destroyed it is eternal. No beginning, no end.
- Essence cannot come from others and is the true self which is eternal and has unlimited potential.

## 

## Fear

- Fear is the bad intention itself, but it’s also a blind intention.
- If you’re not blind (i.e. you are awakened), then you won’t have fear. So fear equals intention, it’s not the cause. But that intention is also the cause for all the other intentions. So you can say fear is one type of blind intention, because our blind intention is more than just fear, but fear is actually the main one.You are always living in fear, but you don’t even know that because you don’t want to face it. You think that if you face it, you will be trapped in that fear. Wise people know that hiding fear doesn’t make it go away. Hiding fear is like taking a painkiller and not treating the injury: it makes the problem worse.It’s only when you have a brave heart and choose to face your fear that you have the power to laugh and realise that all this fear is not even real. We have experienced fear for a billion lifetimes, for what?! Then you can laugh at yourself and be free.
- https://secrettruthoflife.com/2014/09/11/purifying-your-intentionfear/

## 

## Freedom

- Freedom is Nirvana. You can never reach it because it is always there.
- Freedom is always there. That is why we can be free.
- Searching for it, reaching for it, never find it. Freedom is free from searching. Back to your eternal essence.
- Freedom means free from our own blind way to see life.
- Free from fear.
- But freedom only appear when we are out of greedy.
- So true freedom comes from true wisdom ability.
- Two kinds: temporary freedom and eternal freedom
- Temporary freedom is joyful, but never last long. It comes from consciousness connect to illusion being create a temporary feeling.
- Eternal freedom is nirvana, it comes from eternal truth wisdom ability. Comes from eternal essence observe eternal truth of life, create Dharma Joy feeling.

## llusion Being

- The wave of intention from heart
- Created by all the consciousness joined intention together connected to empty space
- Everything we can be aware of  
  - Body and surroundings
  - All the appearing form
  - All the information
  - The four elements (Earth, water (materials), fire, wind (energy)) within pure moving empty space

## 

## Hidden Consciousness

- Hidden Consciousness – It is the strongest force.
- It causes your seven “I” consciousnesses to connect to a body. If you connect to a butterfly body, you become a caterpillar. You have caterpillar “I”. Your “I” is an illusion: you did not have that “I” before.
- When you connect you are not truly aware from wisdom, so all these memories remain hidden. You don’t know what’s going on: this is blindness.
- The Hidden Consciousness force is pure and empty, but it’s still blind. You have to train your Hidden Consciousness to become wise. Don’t just change the way your six consciousnesses think, change all seven egos to No Ego, and eventually go back and influence your Number 8 consciousness (Hidden Consciousness) to become awakened: powerful, bright, shining like the sun, clearing out your blind causes.
- Stores and remembers everything from all of your lifetimes
- When this lifetime ends and you are out of body, everything you have ever done, which is stored in your Hidden Consciousness, will appear. Do any spiritual memories appear? If so, then right away spiritual karma takes you to a new spiritual lifetime. Are there greedy, blind memories? Then surely bad karma will take you to a new lifetime filled with more suffering and blindness.
- When you’re out of body, you will no longer have brain consciousness, only Hidden Consciousness. Hidden Consciousness awakens all the memories from the six consciousnesses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and brain), which together create the Hidden Number Seven Ego I every second. When it receives no more new information, suddenly it has no need to hide, so it releases all of your memories. You have no choice but to experience everything again; the strongest memory will guide you to your next life. That’s how reincarnation works.
- No I Hidden Consciousness, the most pure, honest heart. It has no ego and no judgement, so can see your ego very clearly. Your Hidden Consciousness is aware of all causation from all situations, all angles, and all connections in every way.
- Hidden Consciousness pureness is like empty space: it has no limitations so it can immediately see every angle. While your ego is like looking through a keyhole, your Hidden Consciousness sees your deeper intention, from all angles without limitation. It makes you aware of all the “I” and everything you have done.
- Hidden Consciousness is blind because it has no “I” to choose. If I put smelly clothes in my closet, then my closet gets smelly. Your Hidden Consciousness stores whatever you have experienced. If your life is not spiritual, then you will be reincarnated as a human again. Smelly things are not spiritual things.
- A Buddha’s closet (consciousness) doesn’t have smelly clothes anymore because he has passed through wisdom and Will. Inside, it’s beautiful and clean, full of compassion. When he wants to show his consciousness, he opens the closet and shows the lights. Each light is a memory of how he became Buddha, helped people with egoless kindness, bringing them out of suffering. If you have learned about pure heart he will contact you.

**Intention**

- Is the main cause for every life
- Free will force from every consciousness to charge the 7 chakra energy gates
- This force has no form but creates all the form
- Can be blind or awakened.
- Every second we create \~84,000 different ones
- Blind intention lost in the trick of life
- Wise intention to purify them to become four eternal heart intention
- Intention creates Thinking, speaking and action- internal to external – intention is the main cause for life.

**Heart**

- Heart represent all the intention from consciousness.
- There are two main kinds of Heart – temporary heart and True heart.
- Temporary heart is what we live in every second. Called our awareness boundary. We can only feel what we are aware of. And nothing more. So we are limited in what we can experience.
- But life is unlimited. Our fear create bad intention. So our brain consciousness, subconsciousness and hidden consciousness have not joined together their force.
- If you see that life is illusion, then you don’t want to get caught in the illusion anymore: you want to develop in a wise way to help every life out of suffering. Then you start to learn wisdom to help yourself, then others, to release suffering. That wisdom is eternal, that Will is eternal. Every lifetime you do this, that power is your new heart.
- Brain, sub and hidden consciousness all joined together, one heart, one intention.
- True Heart is True Freedom.

**Observing**

- Observing is not thinking.
- Observing is when consciousness receiving information.
- Observing is a cause, help you to develop wisdom. But what kind of wisdom? Depends on what kind of observing.
- Blind consciousness blindly receive information from an “I” point of view. Eg I observe something…
- This is called blind observing. It means receiving all the information to support ego I and Mine (or blind self-being.)
- Blind observing can only develop temporary wisdom. In fact this is a cause for our suffering.
- Pure Observing means receiving information without I. You still receive limited by your ability, but without your own personal polluting it. Pure observing comes from back to your essence.
- That is because this pure observing ability is your eternal essence.
- This can develop complete eternal perfect wisdom.

**Reincarnation**

- The opposite of living in will.
- The prison of blindness you have been living in for one billion lifetimes
- When this lifetime ends and you are out of body, everything you have ever done, which is stored in your Hidden Consciousness, will appear. Do any spiritual memories appear? If so, then right away spiritual karma takes you to a new spiritual lifetime. Are there greedy, blind memories? Then surely bad karma will take you to a new lifetime filled with more suffering and blindness.
- You will no longer have brain consciousness, only Hidden Consciousness. Hidden Consciousness awakens all the memories from the six consciousnesses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and brain), which together create the Hidden Number Seven Ego I every second. When it receives no more new information, suddenly it has no need to hide, so it releases all of your memories. You have no choice but to experience everything again; the strongest memory will guide you to your next life. That’s how reincarnation works.
- No I Hidden Consciousness, the most pure, honest heart. It has no ego and no judgement, so can see your ego very clearly. Your Hidden Consciousness is aware of all causation from all situations, all angles, and all connections in every way.
- Hidden Consciousness pureness is like empty space: it has no limitations so it can immediately see every angle. While your ego is like looking through a keyhole, your Hidden Consciousness sees your deeper intention, from all angles without limitation. It makes you aware of all the “I” and everything you have done.
- No I Hidden Consciousness, the most pure, honest heart.
- https://secrettruthoflife.com/2015/04/30/reincarnation-amitabha-incredible-karma-force/

**Time**

- Time doesn’t exist of itself, but we can think of it in two ways.
- When space moves, your brain calculates time – this is called Sixth Consciousness Time. Time is created through brain calculation.
- Animals also feel time, but they don’t have the sixth consciousness (thinking), so we call this Five Consciousness Biology Time.
- Time is mysterious  
  - Time exists.
  - Time does not exist.
  - Time exists, and does not exist.
  - Time does not exist, and does not not-exist.

**Will**

- Will is not a wish.
- A wish is from personal blind ego to get something from your desire thinking power.
- A will is an equal heart, wise, pure, perfect intention to share which matches the Eternal Truth of Life
- If you have no Will, then every lifetime you will have a new “I”. Your 1 to 6 consciousnesses will be blind, always creating new blindness. Finally, if you study philosophy, you will see through your blindness, create Will from heart.
- If you see that life is illusion, then you don’t want to get caught in the illusion anymore: you want to develop in a wise way to help every life out of suffering. Then you start to learn wisdom to help yourself, then others, to release suffering. That wisdom is eternal, that Will is eternal. Every lifetime you do this, that power is your new heart. Once strong enough, it becomes a new power that cleans out the blind karma in your Hidden Consciousness.
- All the Hidden now has bright, shining lights so you can see what’s against your Will. If something is against your Will, then clean it out. When I first came to this apartment, I saw that it was against my Will for teaching philosophy and learning Spirits. I changed almost everything: I put plants on the balcony, laid tatami, bought statues, and made the garden upstairs. The eternal power of my Will dominated; it’s a very different situation when compared with a regular person who has no eternal Will. I had no choice but to change the apartment! Bright power makes darkness disappear.
- Will comes from eternal wisdom. Will is not a wish you make for yourself; a Will is for every life. This is the first Bodhisattva Character: Generosity.
- Because Will concerns all truth and all life, it becomes eternal in time and space.
- Once your Hidden Consciousness is cleaned out, it can become true awareness Four Eternal Hearts, and is no longer called blind Hidden Consciousness.
- The Hidden Consciousness force is pure and empty, but it’s still blind. You have to train your Hidden Consciousness to become wise. Don’t just change the way your six consciousnesses think, change all seven egos to No Ego, and eventually go back and influence your Number 8 consciousness (Hidden Consciousness) to become awakened: powerful, bright, shining like the sun, clearing out your blind causes.
- You can clean out your blind Hidden Consciousness only when you start from Will. Then it will become Eternal Lights and drive out all the darkness.
- If you have no Will, then every lifetime you will have a new “I”. Your 1 to 6 consciousnesses will be blind, always creating new blindness. Finally, if you study philosophy, you will see through your blindness, create Will from heart.

**Willing Heart**

- The willing heart is the heart to observe.

**Wisdom**

- A simple definition is to get away from our blindness or create joy.
- But that can be temporary or eternal.
- Wisdom has nothing to do with intelligence. You can be very intelligent, but still create drama and suffering in your life. You can be very smart, yet create trouble, ego, and blindness for your karma. Wisdom is a tool to purify these things.

**Wisdom Poem**

Wisdom is to know, we have no wisdom.

Wisdom is to know, there is wisdom to learn.

Wisdom is always to follow wisdom.

Wisdom is to learn what stupid is.

Wisdom accepts wisdom.  
Wisdom avoids stupidity.  
Wisdom accepts, stupidity can happen, but try not to repeat the same mistake.

Wisdom doesn’t judge good or bad in life. But knows clearly what good and bad is.

Wisdom is to think wisely until there’s no wise thinking – just being wise naturally.

Wisdom is not to try to be wise, but to try not to be stupid.

Wisdom is to know what our limitations are, and how to break them.  
Wisdom is to understand there are no limitations in true life, and how to discover it.

Wisdom doesn’t come only from thinking. It comes from generosity, discipline, patience, concentration, meditation – all these five abilities.

True Wisdom is to be pure. Tricky Wisdom tricks you to be wise.  
Pure Wisdom is being kind without ego,

Being caring without being over-emotional.

Joy without stupidity, free without greed.

# Order of Meditation Techniques:

## Training

Why is training the first one? Because any power in life comes from training. In life we can reach anything through training – some things need one lifetime, others need a million lifetimes to reach.

It depends on how deep the power is.

It is possible to train towards becoming a devil as well – Devil powers do not just come from a bad intention, any power requires a lot of training wisdom and awareness.

All the talent and all the abilities in life are developed through training. SO training surely comes first.

## Born with (linked to training)

Born with it is not actually born with it. It comes from training, that why it is second. But it is the level that you are born with it. TO that stage you are born with it.

## Mantra

Is actually when you train and train but you haven’t reached born with ability yet. Higher consciousness know that you have a heart that wants to learn the ability and wisdom, but you are not at the intuition born with ability yet. So they leave the mantra as a sign.

But if you never train you will never show that your heart is sincere to learn, and those mantras will not come to you.

‘Oh this person has been training but has not reached ‘born with’ ability yet. Well I will leave some tips for him’.

He can use the mantra to connect to higher wisdom. This is why mantra is number 3.

## Medicine

Medicine include all kinds of things, Chinese herbs, mushrooms, LL.

All medicine must need a teacher to guide the training in a spiritual direction. The medicine can open up your energy so much, and if you don’t have a teacher to guide you won’t know what’s going on. Or you will over use the medicine in the wrong way.

Or addicted to it.

Medicine will help you in a quicker way.

## Karma

Done something good in the past, now this lifetime you have the chance to meet someone that can help you. So you either want to have someone help you or you want to help someone. These two karmas can connect.

Earth power normally just have a need to learn.

Some people that start with Karma, are just beginners

## Wisdom

Wisdom is the most important one and the best one. Because once you can reach this you can guide yourself to longer get lost because the wisdom is yours. This is why all the Buddhism books still say that wisdom is the most important one.

All other ones connect to wisdom

In fact I already teach you wisdom power – experiencing magic through bowing or training.

When our senses can go to a more heightened pure power stage something will happen. We will be aware of something.

**Why is wisdom important?**

To remove suffering from one’s life by having a better understanding of themselves and the meaning of life to see through all the illusion

**Cause and affect**

Wisdom can open up opportunities in life by enabling us to see our situation from many different angles. This gives us the ability to see and ultimately make the right choices.

To remove suffering by being more aware of the cause of problems, rather than just the result. If we can see the cause of our problems we can eliminate them before they happen.

Wisdom is important to bring true joy into our lives and the lives of others – eg. 4 eternal hearts  
To eliminate suffering from ourselves and others

To free yourself from your current life situation.

Become more aware of your own greediness, and eliminate it to become more free

Wisdom is the understanding of complete truth, so is the only way to get to complete Freedom (Matt).

Learning Wisdom allows you to know what is truly valuable in your life, opposed to things that aren’t of such importance. It leads to developing a more happy and satisfying life

## Personal Karma

Stems from an individuals intention, speaking and action all causes/creates their personal karma

## Spiritual Karma

If you make wise choices, everyday is a good day.

Being born into a human body means this lifetime you have the chance to use your thinking power and intelligence to analyse life again, and rise your spirits. Everyday is that chance. If you’re born as an animal you don’t have this chance, if you’re born as an insect, if you’re born as a high civilisation of alien in which you already experience amazing high level kinds of joy then you won’t feel the need to develop and analyse life because you already enjoy so much from your life.

When you are in total suffering your ego won’t be able to accept anything except for that suffering. When you experience high levels of joy and excitement, your ego will be so happy to enjoy jump into it – you won’t want to learn to be out of your ego either. If you have ego, it means that the ego will die with you.

**Ego will limit your consciousness to be stuck in an individual I.**

**Ego is the limitation to stop you from learning more about life.**

> No ego is to open your heart and care about life…

Our essence is the same, but our intention has made us develop slightly differently. Some people use that power to worry about being greedy to get what they want. Others use it to open their hearts and share love. If everyone lived with this intention then we would live in a paradise.

But because the intention on the earth is built by greed and ego the civilisation didn’t develop in a spiritual way. But our thinking power has the ability to understand and analyse how higher civilisations have developed their society, their body etc. Through that analysis then you can develop your own body to match that higher civilisation.

If we wake up our observing power, instead of just blindly following the society then we will have the opportunity to raise our spiritual ability. Wake up and think about life – what is the essence, function and goal.

People live life like a boat in the ocean without a compass. Not aware of when they will find land, how much food they will need, when they will die….

People try to act cool, but really there is so much fear inside.

But once your wisdom develops you won’t have to fear – because you will see through these tricks of life and ego.

Everything has a cause – your life is like this.

Whatever happens this life, will be cause for the next life. So death is not separate to life. We think that to live is life, to die is no life – but that’s not true. Living and dying is more like day and night, like being awake or being asleep – together it’s one program called life. We don’t have the power to keep this body this lifetime – so it’s actually great that we can die when our body becomes useless. We get a new program.

**Everyday is a good day – life is in your hands. Use wisdom to create your karma to bring compassion and love to the world and to your life.**

Essence / Consciousness – all life the same. Has no form so cannot be different. 

(Essence of awareness ability is consciousness)

You me Buddha all same.

Potential of all life same .

**Definition of essence** – something that never changes.

**Definition of consciousness** – the force which exists as potential to be aware of everything with no form. 

Only something with no form can aware of every form. Totally empty, not even empty space form. 

**Awareness ability** – every life different – otherwise why do you need to learn? 

All Starts at empty (blind) empty then when become Buddha all reach full empty. 

In between all different.

**Awareness boundary** – is a result of awareness ability. All life except Buddha have this. As Buddha’s awareness is complete perfect unlimited awakened. Which means free to be aware of everything.

Bodhisattva have awareness boundary still but no longer create and receive suffering.

Different Function and Goal

**Do all Buddha have same awareness ability?**

As the same as different.

Same because they all have no awareness boundary.

Different because the way they use their ability is different because their will is different.

Information:

Life is divided up to into two different parts

One is the power we use to be aware of everything, which is the awareness ability – consciousness, and whatever consciousness is aware of is our body and its surroundings.

Our body and surroundings are all part of space. When the space is moving and changing, then the feeling of time appears. So everything we can be aware of is basically time and space – but as we said time is just a measurement of space changing. So truly all we are aware of is constantly moving and changing space, which is our body and the universe.

The space changes in two different structures:

1\. Concrete material form.

2\. Molecules moving in a more free motion like sunlight, fire, wind… etc – which we call energy. According to scientist research we all know today that energy and material in essence are the same. Energy is a free motion of materials, and material is the concrete formation of the energy which is bound together. For example, steam and ice have completely different formations – ice has concrete form but once it has been melted into steam, it becomes energy. A long time ago, the earliest type of train was powered by steam.

But it doesn’t matter whether it is in the ice or the steam we all know the essence of these two are the same, H2O (water). Steam and Ice both are made of water. Our human bodies are made of atoms, in fact the whole universe is made up of atoms. This is hard to imagine through our vision, but the fact is, according to scientific research, our bodies cells are all built by atoms (this is basic anatomical understanding). Atoms are energy, when atoms are bound together moving in a concrete formation, it creates the cells to build up the material body that we are able to see. When these atoms move in a free motion within our body, this provides us with energy, like the engine in a car. Our blood would be like the petrol as it offers us strength, but the nervous system operates all systems within the body. This energy travels through the nerve points and meridian lines.
### First 3 life awakenings

Last updated: 2019-06-10T04:10:59.000Z
First 3 life awakenings

There is one blindness in all humans, Buddha says, that brings all sufferings to humans. Once you awaken from this, all the other awakenings will come.

It’s like building a house with the wrong foundation, everything you build from that wrong foundation will also be wrong. This will make it a dangerous house to live in.

The wrong calculation of this foundation is, that our consciousness takes our body as ‘ourselves’. But if you think about it, your body is made up of the four elements, of the four elements which one is you? Fire? Then the sun should be you too. Air, air is everywhere does that mean you are everywhere? Water, water is also everywhere is the ocean, or in the toilet… are you toilet water?

The four elements united for a temporary time is called illusion being. Illusion ‘being’ illusion means changing and being means continue, continue to be something, be-ing because it is a continuous process. Because it is always changing, it is always beautiful, except when the changing is in an unwise and unharmonious way, then it becomes problematic. Life should be moving and changing. Not to change is wrong, to change in an unwise way is also wrong.

Find a way to make all the change without tension, in a united harmony way. That ability is called wisdom.

If consciousness can be aware of the body, then it is clear, that consciousness is NOT the body. Then consciousness is you, without consciousness you would not be aware of anything. You are living in the body without the understanding of how to do meditation out of body, so it is difficult to imagine that the body is not you.

Once consciousness is awakened can control information, it will no longer be limited to the body.

This body which is part of illusion being is always changing, which means that death doesn’t really exist. When you awaken to this fact, you will be totally happy. Death is just a big change. The body just becomes a part of illusion being and consciousness continues to be aware. Once you realize this you will feel totally free from the fear of death.

The other awaken from this would be that all your ego that you develop from your body eg. I am a girl, so I must be weak, or I am a guy so I have to be macho will disappear because you realize that the body, whether male or female, is not you.

Taiji does not rely on being macho, it is about being fast and precise. So it’s not a question of your size, it’s a question of how fast you can use and be aware of your energy.

A female body appears because that consciousness has a habit to want to be weak, wants to depend on others – but wisdom ability doesn’t care. If you have wisdom your awareness power has no fear at all.

If girls can be awakened realize that then they will realize that all these limitations don’t need to be there. The problems is society manipulate girls by telling then that they are weaker, then girls develop a laziness to use their sexual charm to get what they want – from there it is the wrong foundation that continues to be wrong. Men feel as though they have play this macho role as though they don’t need true care.

In fact, some men are much more weaker than women. Men live in this fake character for the rest of their lives.

Most people are so lost in a character that they aren’t even aware of. They don’t have the power or desire to observe themselves.

So our observing to ourselves is very limited. Can you describe to me who you are without describing aspects of your physical identity – the essence of your heart of character.

1st Awakening

Body is not you – because it is a part of the four elements. Therefore your awareness is not limited to this body. But because you are blind to this fact, you accept this blindness and remain limited to this body.

You are awareness ability.

2nd Awakening

DEATH – it does not exist. It is just a part of changing – so there is a big change coming, but because our body is constantly changing you could say we are always dying in some way – but consciousness is not the body, its essence does not change. So you are not dead, its just that your illusion being body changes into a new form.

3rd Awakening

Because we are not aware that this physical identity I is not us, we believe that this is who we are – it becomes our I. We create an Ego – which limits our ability to enjoy life. Becoming free from this illusion of illusion – Ego I.

Intention Thinking and Speaking

When I was young I learned the idea – at the time, mentally I couldn’t grasp it, but sub-consciously I could understand it.

To be aware of another person you have to be aware of their character, ability and their behavior with their speaking and intention. In that idea – these are the real fortunes. Because to meet consciousness with these kinds of quality is much more rare.

This kind of quality takes lifetimes and lifetimes of really observe life, and fight to all the negative parts of life, developing a positive character. Slowly slowly win and build every good quality will get a character, attitude and intention. It won’t come that easy, because we start with Ego

### Tao and Intention

Last updated: 2024-05-27T11:22:46.000Z
# Tao and Intention

A simple way to describe Tao is Head Leader. 

Whether you are aware of it or not, there is a power leading life. It mysteriously leads every life.

If you are not aware, you are lost—you will be like the weak animal in the pack that the predator will eat for dinner. 

That is not to say that you will be eaten! It is a representation of suffering. When you don’t find this system of life and how it works, you will suffer when you don’t follow it.

If you are able to find it, this trail created by the system of life is not supposed to bring you suffering—it’s supposed to make you more and more aware of life from every angle, sharper and more flexible so that you can see more potential and more free opportunities to enjoy life.

The difference between Taoism’s definition of Tao and Buddhism’s is that Taoism describes life as a mysterious and abstract system or the power of a mysterious abstract force.

**Buddhism explains it clearly—it’s the four eternal hearts.** 

Our hearts develop complete awareness with all wisdom and freedom in a kind, caring, joyful way. 

Buddhism also explains how this system works.

It describes it as cause and effect, and everything has a cause. From where does the cause arise?

**What is the cause of life?**

# Intention

Your intention is the seeds. 

If that intention is blind, you will grow blind fruit – which could be poisonous. 

If the intention is wise, you will grow wise fruits that could be tasty and enjoyable.

To reach the Amitabha universe, we must purify our actions. Completely purifying intention is very difficult and is already at the Boddhisattva level. If we can control our actions, we are already avoiding bad karma, which is one of the conditions anyway.

**Boddhisattva system:** Purify yourself while developing wisdom to help yourself and use that wisdom to help others. Without compassion, you would not reach the end of Buddhism.

In the beginning, while you are learning this bodhisattva system, it will take millions and millions of lifetimes. Finally, you can become a bodhisattva. During this time, however, you will be faced with many tests, a lot of suffering, and a lot of tests from your own intention that you will eventually have to clean out. Once you can clean them all out, you have reached Tao.

Sifu – “What I try to teach is not simply from the book; it’s actually the result of what I have researched from the system of life. Buddhism and Taoism have the answers.”
### Law of Consciousness
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/law-of-consciousness/
Last updated: 2019-06-10T04:02:19.000Z
Law of Consciousness

One day one very high level Bodhisattva came to ask Buddha, ‘How does a consciousness become a Buddha?’

Then Siddhartha Buddha taught The Law of Consciousness.

Life is like these two systems, Mirror System, and Steady Centre Station system.

Mirror System:

It’s called Reflection. You, as a consciousness, are not able to see what you want, your intention. Actually, other people see what you want first. Through their reflection you can begin to see your own intention and how it has become involved with theirs, and their intention with yours. But by the time you realize your own intention, it is already deeply involved with others in a complicated way.

To search to understand your own deep consciousness and what it is looking for takes millions and millions of lifetimes to understand through this reflection system. Sometimes the reflection shows something you realize you didn’t want, and you then learn that you have to get rid of this or clean this reflection out.

That’s the first law of consciousness.

If you want the reflection of yourself to be clean, you clean yourself – not the mirror.

If you want the world around you to be kind and generous, you have to make yourself kind and generous. Then all the kind and generous people will come to you and reflect back their own kind and generous nature.

So basically in order to get what you want in life is not to get it from outside, but to BE-come what you want. Then the mirror system will start to reflect what you want.

Our biggest mistake in this mirror system – is to clean try to clean the mirror instead of ourselves – this is EGO.

Greedy people with greedy people don’t trust each other because they don’t trust themselves. This makes their own heart very lonely…

Spiritual Calm Station is a power that last eternally it doesn’t change. Because it is calm and steady, it becomes a centre. That is from where you can develop your Buddha ability, to eventually become Buddha.

That quality could be, pure kindness – you don’t even need to mention the other 3 eternal hearts because they will eventually develop. If you can develop this one ability in a calm and non ego way then that is already a station power. From there everyone will become aware that you are like that – then the mirror system will also reflect this and you become aware and sure that this quality is a part of you. So it is not your ego that says that. You need sure concentrated power of your heart to choose the true spiritual life what you want. You think that life should be like that, everybody should be really honest and friendly and respect each other, or you make a goal and say that life should be easy going without stress, so you represent yourself truly with no stress and try to help other people out of this stress. Whatever this kind of quality you have it becomes a strength inside of you, it becomes a part of you, it is eternal. That’s why it becomes a station.

Once you have a steady centre it is your heart, your strength, it’s the way you want to represent your life. That station is pure through wisdom already testing it, so it will last forever. Every lifetime that station gets bigger, every lifetime more people get more involved with that station and finally you become Buddha because you have that station to help others develop that quality.

When consciousness find a true spiritual strength, and lets the strength grow, it will become a centre of the universe. That centre will cover more and more involved with more lives and make them all involved with that beautiful quality, until finally they learn from it. That quality will finally help you to become Buddha.

Influence others into Spirits

The method one can use to help others find spirits.

Sifu uses a four step system:

1\. Sympathise – Show the other person that you can relate to and/or understand their issue/situation.

2\. Analyse – Analyse the issue or situation that they have raised

3\. Generosity – Show kind and care toward the other person to develop their trust

4\. Wisdom – Share the wisdom that you have learnt to help them see through the issue or situation that they are experiencing and help them to release the suffering that they are receiving from the causation that they may be blindly creating or holding on to.
### Blindness
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/blindness/
Last updated: 2019-06-10T03:58:30.000Z
Blindness

The blind man elephant example, is used to show that truth is only the truth when it is complete. If you have one or two parts of many, you will never get the complete truth, only one side of it. So this is why when we analyse we need to analyse from many different angles to ensure that our calculation is 3D and gets the complete picture. If you analyse from one angle or view life from one angle your understanding of life will be one dimensional, giving you an incomplete picture which in turn will lead to blindness.

Analysing a situation with any personal ‘Ego’ view, will most likely, only lead to an incorrect evaluation and conclusion. In order to gain a complete understating of what is happening in the life situation, we must separate this personal view from the situation and see it for what it truly is. Although personal will still always be involved (who is analysing otherwise?), it is the bad habits that make us judge based on desire, emotion etc. that needs to be separated.
### Greed
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/greed/
Last updated: 2019-06-10T03:56:22.000Z
Greed

Greed has many sides to create its suffering and is tricky to analyse in oneself. For example, someone may be greedy to keep another person close to them as it makes them feel secure, or they may eat more than they should instead of controlling their greed.

They may then even try to cover their greed with excuses and or lies to themselves and others, the causation and effect from these lies and excuses can be substantial.

Again it needs to be analysed from many angles to find truth, to ensure that you aren’t hiding the truth from yourself.

4 Levels of Greed

1\. Enjoy something to the point that it is too much and no longer good for you

2\. When your greed controls you and you no longer have any control of it

3\. Greed to the point that it causes you suffering

4\. That you are so blind with your greed that you’re unaware that that’s the cause of your suffering

Observation – Observing Self-being Dharma creator

Wisdom will always go with you, it’s an ability not an idea. As you challenge life it’s how you act react in every situation.

True Appreciate Dharma Wisdom

The best appreciation of Dharma is being the Dharma and practice the Dharma.

…..

\_\_\_\_

Notes on how to practice:

Sharing is the opposite of holding – so you don’t have to learn to develop hold nothing / let go, if you live in sharing. The final is directly be Four Eternal Hearts. Learn to give, to share without personal, without possessive, without negative side, without blindness and greed. When that’s gone and just open heart, then unlimited power is always there.

### Care

# Care – Essence, Function and Goal

Through discipline and willing heart you raise your level.

Aware all the philosophy, connect to present, make them practical and observing without personal.

That is true care.

Essence is where true care comes from.

When you create happiness then you don’t have to search happiness, because you already create it.

When you are in the zone of searching for happiness then you are in the zone of searching happiness, you are not happiness.

The goal is to remain living in that no beginning no end zone of create happiness.

### No judgement in the extreme Bodhisattva wisdom

**Buddha and Bodhisattva wisdom**

Pure content feeling – holy look from statue facial expression you can copy.

Have you felt this? Imagine you could feel one million times this content joyful feeling.

Imagine you could also be aware of one million times devilish ways and you aware both. But neither of them trigger your ego – oh my gosh I see that! I want it!

That’s called “No judgement in the extreme wisdom.”

From the unlimited joy from Buddha – there is no ego or possessive for it.

From sky eyes see all bad devil intentions see the greed hate stupidity and torture and have no fear, no attachment, no anger – one is all the dharma and all the dharma is one, you can observe hell and heaven and realize they both come from the same illusion power, no I in either one remain pure.

Bodhisattva and Buddha have this wisdom.

Everything they create is to share – no possessive for it, towards all the joy. No fear from it, no involve with negative, not only that but – from that complete no judgement complete pure wisdom.

Purify all the devil consciousness, become one of them, understand them, make them accept you, then start to trick them convenient style influence them out of devil towards pure paradise – highest level Buddha and Bodhisattva can do that.

I is not lost – there is no I doing the compassion and helping. No ego all the way from beginning to the end – **that is one wisdom.**

We see good, we see bad we right away I feeling – wow or yikes – so to be able to see both and have no attachment and have wisdom to purify the bad side but no ego to say I did that I help – that’s how clear they can see through the ego. How pure their compassion is. How kind and care.

**Pure kind and care.**

We might not understand that by brain but subconscious can feel that – their level has cleaned that out to empty – pure kind is where you help someone because you’re happy they are out of pain, not “I helped them.”

Otherwise ego: “I can help, I have power to help, I fixed them.” Strengthens ego.

We have both.

Equal heart aware all life is equal.
### Positive Attitude and Intention

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
A lot of the time if you want to get rid of negative you directly have to do something positive.

A lot of the time I spend thinking about how am I going to help this earth, how am I going to join our force create something to help humans. Less ego, less greedy, less create Hell and bad karma, make them more wise even for health.

When I concentrate into that I see my wisdom live into that meditation it becomes wide open to observe everyone and everything and then all the Wisdom I learn from Buddhism jump up to support me.

But when I think about myself, then same like you.

When you are do that you become moody, ego stage, down all of that, I have that too when I focus just think about myself.

When I open heart think for every life want to do something, goal positive, help every life, then life becomes perfect again. So you want your life to be perfect you have to deeply observe your intention make your intention into your reality, your direction, your goal, and your life strength into that for open heart for meaningful cause. Then surely the amazing meaningful result will appear, cause effect.

You want the effect, amazing spiritual result appear, make sure every present, not in the future, every present from cause, from intention, thinking, attitude, speaking, action all into spiritual cause, then you will totally trust yourself you will goto Amitabha Buddha Pure Land.

**You will not have to wonder.**

Every second you have wise choice into spiritual karma.

# Essence OC

In all the appearing form of Dharma, the essence already there

 For that reason, the spirits of lifeforms are all in there, the essence already there because essence cannot be created, lifeforms and space, essence of Dharma

And this Dharma is the heart of life? 

Take 2 statues – one of Buddha, one of a devil, both same weight in gold. 

Anything you see is not the essence.

That essence is our true heart. 

When you out of comparing heart, essence always there.

A child watch a movie, a scary movie with monsters, fear appear, but truly monsters never there, so the essence of the child before the child gets scared.. so blind creation suffering also create… aware of the truth, back to the essence.

From Buddhas awakened heart.

### Pure meditation from Sean Free

Last updated: 2019-06-01T22:58:28.000Z
SR: lying in bed thinking of all kinds of crazy desires I was chasing and all materials, using breathing to calm heart rate down, I started observing, I always struggle turning philosophy into a real feeling, started trying to understand what is life, focusing on illusion being and consciousness, try to feel in reality I’m an awareness ability and aware of all form, and straight away calm and still, observing whatever I was aware of was not me, trimmed everything back, aware of my body, aware of my emotion, aware of my thoughts, my character, my illusion I, felt separated, then a twisting galaxy opened up in my third eye.

Consciousness connects to illusion being, not limited to this illusion being.

Sifu shares his example of “Calling Star” singing mantra – body go clear – body is no more the role I have in earth

Not like try to cut off, you will create a new role, want to cut it off, new Desire, new I!

Without all this pollution body has perfect system – consciousness can connect to energy world, all other existing not just in the earth.

Inner Universe

Universe is prepared for you to wake up your inside universe. That’s why the whole universe is not as valuable as you think. Your heart is more valuable that the universe, the whole universe is built for you to step by step wake up your inside universe. Your feeling.

Without you feeling the whole universe would not exist. The universe exists for life to learn and be aware of life itself. So, that’s how important every life is. But because we aren’t aware of that we aren’t aware that this universe is just a teacher. We become possessive of this tool. Which isn’t even possible because this tool is always changing. This is where suffering comes from. This was what Siddhartha was teaching.

If the universe exists within our hearts then how do two different people see the same thing?

Karma – If the two people have the same karma, their awareness ability could be the same – then they will see the same thing.

Sometimes though, if their karma is different, they may not see the same things, they may have a different feeling towards that object.

All the judgment of surroundings belongs to your own heart and the karma you carry.

Karma is all the cause in the past that has created that result.

It affects – psychology, mentality, relationships, materials, emotions. Cause and effect affects everything.

Life is about feelings – feeling is a general word, like sport, running is a sport, tennis is a sport – the word sport represents all these things.

We need to separate all these feelings into characters – like desire, or emotion. Depending on which way you direct these feelings into, will result in which karma you create.

Siddhartha Buddha basically taught cause and effect – because we don’t understand this system, we suffer.

Essence of Amitabha’s Universe

Essence: Amitabha’s Heart is the essence of his universe.

He was a Boddhisatva named Hidden Dharma (this was because all the truths/dharma he learned he kept it in his heart and would live by it).

His teacher, a buddha knew that Hidden Dharma Boddhisatva was almost going to become a buddha soon. So he showed him an enlightenment meditation and all the lights from his body was shooting out had information of all the universe life forms and how karma with time connects to each other. And from that enlightenment it showed how he had helped other life with the power of the four eternal hearts. So in that light he saw all different universes of other buddhas, and all the information of how they built the universes and how they used their compassion power to help other lives. So that was a very incredible information. He was impressed and touched.

“May one day I become Buddha and have light that is as holy and incredible as yours, and the light form from all the buddhas, and all the best part of the universes from other buddhas.”

Self Control – The first step to a Perfect Consciousness

To reach spirits – what’s the first step of Self Control?

To clean out all of the negative aspects of your life.

Buddha teaches that trying to live to reach spirits without eliminating all the negative aspects of your life, would be like building a house with no foundation.

However, you cannot just stop all the negative habits or actions. You still need to build up good habits in your life too.

Someone that has given up drinking could not just give up drinking because they think it’s bad. They have to have a clear understanding of how it effects their life from all angles, and observe from all angles why it is bad and why they do it.

He used this observing power to see the whole picture to get rid of the negative aspects. So he used a good spiritual power to get rid of a negative aspects. So you do have to build good abilities, to eliminate your negative parts.

## Conversation between Pure Name Buddha and Dragon Buddha

Both Dragon Buddha and Pure Name Buddha appeared on Earth to support Siddhartha Buddha in teaching wisdom. 

Dragon Buddha, representing Greatest Wisdom, appeared as a high-level student. Pure Name Buddha appeared as a wealthy aristocrat.

In this conversation, Dragon Buddha asks Pure Name Buddha questions about life.

---

**Question:** "What is the Eternal Truth of Life?"

**Answer:** \> "Life is illusion, constantly changing, there’s no True I in that illusion. So to be aware life is illusion and not lost from I, is the eternal truth of life."

---

**Question:** "If life is illusion how can we be truly kind?"

**Answer:** \> "True kind is to help other life out of blindness to be aware of the Eternal Truth, life is illusion."

---

**Question:** "Why aren’t they aware life is illusion?"

**Answer:** \> "Because they are connected to a 4 element body which requires so much wisdom to keep in balance. Earth, water, fire, wind, too much or too little of any element damages it. So in that kind of body they experience much suffering.1"2

---

**Question:** "Why do they create such a 4 element illusion body?"

**Answer:** \> "Because they take their ego as the most important. Main subject is I and mine. They create temporary material body."

---

**Question:** "Why do they take ego as most important?"

**Answer:** \> "They don’t understand equal heart, that all life equal potential to become Buddha, all life consciousness, forever free."

---

**Question:** "Why don’t they understand equal heart?"

**Answer:** \> "They are lost by their own greed to get something from life."

---

**Question:** "Why do they create the greed?"

**Answer:** \> "They don’t understand life is illusion, constantly changing. If they do that then right away they will be generous. If they don’t try to get anything, then they are right away into equal heart."

---

**Question:** "How do they get away from the greed and develop wisdom to see life is illusion?"

**Answer:** \> "Understand the Eternal Truth of Life: from Essence, function and goal of life.

> One heart, two gates.  
> One side free to purify the blind habits which create all the suffering.  
> One side develop and share the wisdom and compassion to create all the joy."

---

**Que8stion:** "Why don’t they directly create this?"

**Answer:** \> "They have blindness inside them and connect to others blindness outside, so blindness inside and outside.

> Blindness joined together create the wrong illusion of life. Non-stop create and receive blindness continually.  
> But truly blindness never there.  
> Life remain perfect, life remain illusion."

**Quest17ion:** "Where does this blindness come from?"

**Answer:** \> Man with mirror story: (A man saw a mirror for the first time and admired his beautiful reflection, he never realised how handsome he is! Then someone suddenly took the mirror away from him and the man began to scream. Because he could no longer see his reflection he thought someone had taken away his reflection, wh18ich was his head.)

> **Blindness has no cause. Blindness is the cause.**  
>  
> That’s why once you stop creating the blind habits, and develop wisdom, essence like Buddha’s right away."

---

**Question:** "What is blindness?"

**Answer:** \> "Blindness is the teacher of Buddha; consciousness has the power as pure, but consciousness has the power to create blindness. When this pureness is lost by blindness and become awakened again, then it become Buddha. So that blindness is the necessary teacher.

> **Teacher to help you learn, so you don’t hold the teacher, you don’t hold your blindness. See through it, then to let all the blindness go.**  
>  
> It’s like you learn what the teacher teaches, you don’t need to keep learning that same thing, you let it go. It becomes your nature already. **So let all the bad things go.**"

---

**Question:** "How does being blind create suffering?"

**Answer:** \> "Searching for 'True-I' in illusion is the cause of suffering because it’s not possible, there is no True-I in illusion."

---

**Question:** "How to stop suffering eternally?"

**Answer:** \> "Suffering doesn’t change the eternal truth, suffering is part of the constantly changing, so there is no true cause there to stop.

> When you no longer create the blindness seeds, the cause, then the suffering result will no longer come back to you.  
>  
> Truth of life is eternal, so when you are eternally aware that life is illusion, that is eternally creating a wise cause.  
>  
> Eternal wise cause is eternal create dharma joy."

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:09.000Z
# Qian Kun 8 Sun / 8 Brightness Awakening

## Summary from Sifu:

A moment when your intention awakens to connect to eternal wisdom, and you use that to see through life, every blindness, illusion, understand how it works, so strong with spiritual will – not in past, present, future – you are the will! Your existing is that will. You are that Four Eternal Heart will, powerful unlimited force from your heart, no blockage, nothing can stop it from outside.

When you experience a moment, it’s like a Buddha moment.

But if you are lucky to experience one time, you are still far away from Buddha.

But amazing.

This wisdom is to help you experience moments like that which will support your concentration to observe more wisdom.

## Preparation:

Prepare karma before reading the philosophy

Speaking karma

**Sing\*:** 

(My limited translation of the sanskrit words)

Om surly surly  
Por ler Shurli  
Mo her shurli  
So Shurli so por ler

**Observe your intention before you speak.**

You want to observe your intention, and let all the negative intention away from you. Observe them and separate from them. Not let them control you. Observe your intention before you speak.

Purify your attitude, action and body language, subconsciousness awareness  
ૐ surly surly  
somurli somurli  
om por ler

Observe all of our blind action (same as above but with word action) Observe it, separate from it, create spiritual action, purify your karma

Intention purify  
Om way zi zam  
lou her her fu

Back to your pure essence, from there develop four eternal heart

## Introduction to the poem

“This is the most incredible, highest and deepest wisdom, eternal truth of life Dharma, if you are alive for 100 thousand million lifetimes you might not get a chance to hear it. But you must have had 100 thousand million lifetimes to pass through and learn spiritual karma and now finally have developed enough wisdom, enough kindness karma to hear this philosophy so my heart is joyful and full of appreciation and humbly sincerely would like to understand it.”

## Sutra Chapter One: Bodhisattva Question

One time a student says, “as I remember, Buddha was there in a city, and all the highest students were allowed in to learn from him, many Bodhisattva were there shooting lights.

Then one Bodhisattva appeared, his name was called **No Blockage, no Limitation Bodhisattva**.

He stood up and bowed to Buddha and after he rose he said:

“In this mess karma world, all the life are reincarnated in a blind way, they have done that for uncountable lifetimes. But the truth is their essence is still pure like Buddhas. But they are not aware of it and there are very few people who’s essence is already eternally pure in those worlds as most people are lost in a blind creation of ego dreams. And most of these consciousness don’t even know what is Buddha so they will not want to bow to Buddha.

And your consciousness is free from all limitation, to experience sky abilities, you can see without limited to the material world using material eyes, you can hear without limits to just ego-eye and ears, you can smell but feel the joy of that spirits, you can taste but feel Dharma kindness of the flavour, you can touch, can feel but feel the touching as illusion, your heart becomes free feeling of hold nothing, you can think but realise it is an ego game of greedy searching, and smile joyfully free from greed, can intuition directly aware the essence is pure.

So to have this kind of ability is so little in this blind karma connection world.

But most of them not aware any of these abilities exist or that they have a chance to develop them. So most of the them will not have discipline to develop wisdom, spiritual abilities.

Because they don’t develop ability they will develop a lot of bad karma, finally become stupid into animal karma, or worse.

Some people learn a little bit of wisdom, but they are so easily satisfied, they make excuses and lazy again not to go further, most of them don’t develop further.

Very few consciousness in this blind creation space are able to create Dharma joy, so they cannot make their own heart free, to see through all blind illusion and then create unlimited kindness to every life in present. Instead blind greedy heart is everywhere.

Buddha consciousness life-force is so sure, to not let not let any pollution control them, have spiritual meditation ability and strong centre. But that ability is so rare. Instead consciousness able to get lost are everywhere blindly trapped in mess causation power, getting influenced by everyone, get ting influenced by their own blindness is everywhere.

Consciousness able to live very joyful and comfortable life is very few. But whether rich or poor, consciousness living in suffering life is everywhere.

Consciousness living in free no tension so few. While consciousness living in create tension and suffering are everywhere.

Consciousness able to be generous in a material wise way and generous in Dharma wisdom way are so hard to find. But consciousness greedy and even try to sell or use Dharma for their own greed everywhere, or have greed don’t even care for others is everywhere.

Consciousness want to understand the truth and follow the truth is very rare. But consciousness who have a lot of blindness and still use blindness to control everyone is everywhere.

Consciousness creating bad karma and suffering for themselves and others is everywhere. And the opposite, consciousness finding wisdom, convenient wisdom for themselves to get out of suffering and share that wisdom to help others out of suffering so rare.

So Buddha, those consciousness are lost for long, long time in this blind reincarnation creation, creating ego I and trapped in that ego I, creating suffering for themselves and others and don’t have wisdom to get away from it.

> **Please can you show them the true Dharma to help them go far to open their hearts free from all this?”**

*Sifu explanation:*

No limitation, no blockage Bodhisattva try to create this karma, a Dharma cause, ask Buddha to please bring true Dharma to help everyone so they can hear that and be out of that blind creation, out of blind suffering.

End Chapter One

## Sutra Chapter Two

Buddha says:

“Incredible, incredible, **No Limitation, No Boundary Bodhisattva**, you truly have such a kindness for every life that is why you bring this Dharma request to help so many life, which are lost in their own blind creation force and create lifetimes of wrong ideas and all kinds of suffering for themselves and others. And now you want to know what kind of true eternal dharma can help them. Now anyone who has this incredible dharma karma can hear it with joyful willing heart and concentrate and then ready to absorb it and I’m here to explain it for you so every life has a chance to hear and understand it.

It’s called Qian Kun, 8 Sun philosophy, also called 8 brightness awakened consciousness philosophy.

This philosophy a long time ago many uncountable Buddha already teach to many other life and in future many Buddha will teach many other life and in present many Buddha teach many life in many space.

In between all the sky and space and planets to have a life form of being human in fact is one of the most luckiest. Because if you become energy god, ego too big, joy too big, you won’t want to be humble to learn eternal truth, because truth you developed already is so powerful and joyful.

Under human karma – ghost, animal and hell karma – they have too much suffering to calm down their heart to learn eternal truth.

So in fact human are in between, neutral gear chance to understand eternal truth so for that being human is incredible lucky karma.

If that lucky karma continues then it will help you awaken, if that lucky karma is something you take care of, it will go out of neutral gear into spiritual gear.

But if you don’t take care of it it won’t grow. You have suffering but not too much and want to get rid of it. You have joy and want to create it, but not too much ego to have no chance to get rid of ego. For that if you learn eternal truth your heart will open to get rid of your blind ego and blind suffering creation, finally able to middle way eternal dharma truth.

**And how to do that is continue to being truthful to find harmony with yourself and others.**

All the appearing form and space is illusion, they never lie, clearly always changing. You can’t see through it so they never lie. But lie to yourself is because you support your own blindness not to see through it, your own lie, so it won’t change.

**To make spiritual seed now in neutral gear karma directly connect to pureness karma, 4 eternal heart karma, 6 bodhisattva character karma, stay in harmony, stay in pure, stay in truthful, begin with yourself. Observe. Always observing your intention, make sure you do not lie to your own karma.**

> *So you know your intention has this non-spiritual karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this lazy karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this excuse karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this possessive karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this weak karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this fear karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this worry karma;*  
> *So you know your intention has this ‘not want to develop yourself and become independent’ karma.*

**All of this you observing them and clean them out.** 

Because you see through all from your own life and your heart become really pure and for that the spiritual seed can finally grow and become a spiritual lotus and then spiritual intention will become spiritual thinking speaking action lifestyle and for that you become a true human.

**It is a perfect bridge to go into a spiritual karma. Human possibility is bridge to any karma.**

# Qian Kun 8 Sun Philosophy.

## Sutra Chapter 3: Part 1

So if human being can get rid of artificial and fake lying to themselves and lying to the world and to other life.

They learn to Observing Self Being to calm down to aware what’s the truth (called Direct Heart).

From Direct Heart observing what’s true and stop blindly lie to themselves and lie to others, then they will be awakened.

Because they have observing ability and they have logical ability but a lot of time, because their greed not interested to know the truth.

They just want to know some truth for their greed, so observe for their own ego greed. For that reason they create more illusion.

When they create more illusion, they start lie to themselves to support their ego and lie to others and finally they as a human neutral gear they can directly connect to spiritual karma but in fact because they lie to themselves and lie to others, they use observing ability observe for their ego.

So they create a lot of bad karma. Finally, that bad karma will direction to hell karma.

But if they understand and awaken with this philosophy, all this bad karma they create will suddenly relief and then they will stay awakened with the Eternal Wisdom.

All the energy gods who already awakened, there are some that are already from human and awakened and finally become energy god. But not energy god in an ego way, they are learning Buddhism, that kind of awakened energy god but not yet become Bodhisattva so they are kind of Dharma Protector.

They are also awakened consciousness and also have will to protect human who now learn this philosophy and just awakened to help them extension their life and to help them get away from all this dangerous karma.

Anyone who has wisdom and understand this philosophy will all have this protection and this guiding.

The protection and guiding karma will all the way, no limited until they finally become Buddha.

Buddha continue to say “ If somebody already has blind belief and the blind belief make them into Devilish ego and support that and create a lot of bad karma and hell karma, but because now they are lucky their spiritual karma seed grow can have a chance to learn this philosophy and then observing 3 times, and can understand even just one idea deep by heart, then all this past life wrong blind belief bad karma hell karma finally disappear.

It’s like the fire burn so strong but finally now you got ice water and suddenly all disappear.

This ice water is this complete clear philosophy that Buddha is going to explain and anybody that can understand and become the philosophy themselves can clean out all their blind belief bad karma.

Or if some people in the past have a lot of animal karma (no shame like a street dog or animal, their sexual life has no shame they just do it in the street), and they are easy to get greed and anger for their food for survival, and they’re not able to calculate far with logic, and their greed is very basic just food and survival, and they are easy to get jealous of other animal have some other greed like food.

If their direction is towards that for many lifetimes and their karma is still in their life though even now they already become human, so that power is still quite strong wanna bring them go back and become an animal.

And because they read this philosophy and observing it 3 times deep, even understand even just one idea, then that animal karma can also disappear and then 4 Eternal Hearts can start to appear.

Or if some consciousness now become human and they don’t have bad karma, and then the observing 3 times and understand some idea, and for that all the lucky karma will appear to support this lifetime.

They will have no stress for finance. They will always get support for finance and materials but to a point the supporting will not make them have any greed.

Through that they will be able to concentrate more power, get guide to learn this philosophy deeper and to practice into that philosophy.

And not only that, they will also finally can learn very deep and finally become a teacher, build a dojo and help others learn.

They will get respect through building a dojo to help people learn and then influence many people, and mostly because they teach others and influence many people, themselves will be deep into the philosophy and finally themselves become Bodhisattva and then will very soon become Buddha.

All the energy gods who have learned Buddhism as Bodhidharma, will protect them to become Bodhisattva.

The other case is that some consciousness have now become human and like to speak a lot of bad words and bad ideas for their ego, or say a lot of bad things for their ego, or say a lot of bad things about other people for their own greed, and like to argue with others for their own ego to make people think they are smarter.

f they understand this philosophy, even just some part, all of this bad speaking karma will all disappear.

They will become very careful with every word that they use and then their speaking will all become spiritual karma. Then they will become free to help people understand convenient wisdom.

Whatever they say will all make sense. Whatever they say will get respect by people. Whatever they say is all connect to Eternal Wisdom and bring Dharma Joy for themselves and for others.

For that, they will through that way become Bodhisattva and eventually become Buddha.

If some consciousness now become human and their parents have built a lot of bad karma or direction towards hell karma, and maybe when they die have to go in the direction of ghost or go to hell and have a lot of suffering will appear.

If those consciousness can read those philosophy and learn this 7 times very deep, and understand most of it and willing to use this philosophy to help every life in the future.This will, when it appears, then their parents will also benefit from their will and then also out of hell karma and out of unlimited suffering bad karma.

They will get a chance to somewhere to be reborn, have a chance to learn Buddhism, and then finally even have through that influence a chance to learn Buddhism and even get protect, then slowly slowly in the direction to become a Boddhisattva.

Eventually learn enough, will also become Buddha.

So if somebody can learn observe 7 times deep, understand most of the parts and want to use that as a will to help others without ego, the karma can even influence the parents.

If some people have built a lot of religion selling Buddha Karma, this kind of Hell Unreleasable Karma, but now can understand this philosophy completely and regret all this unreleasable karma they have done by use philosophy to trick other people, and with respect and with regrets and bow to Hell Boddhisattva, and then change to now help other people learn this incredible philosophy.

From this unreleasable karma finally regret and bow, then create convenient wisdom to help other people to learn this philosophy, then they actually now get a chance to become Boddhisattva.

One example, long time ago there is one person consciousness that was just like that and because he followed this process, he finally become Bodhisattva and finally become Buddha.

His name is called **Lights Into Every Life** and his pure land is called **Great Purify No Pollution Pure Land**. All pollution has been purified through a filter. The pure land itself has no border itself, no limitation. The more consciousness that understand through their help and come to the pure land, the land will expand no border.

All the consciousness that go to this pure land are all Bodhisattva and they all understand nothing to hold.

They all understand Dharma Wisdom is not to hold something, it’s to become that wisdom, and use your ability as that wisdom to help unlimited life.

It’s not to try get wisdom or try to get anything.

It’s to be generous, to give, to create, to aware, aware the wisdom, create the wisdom, become the wisdom, and share the wisdom and be generous.

And it was this Buddha that was also through learning this philosophy from unreleasable karma and from regret and bow to Hell Bodhisattva actually change now to build Pure Land in such an incredible way.

Also there are 8 Bodhisattva, they are connected to this philosophy and they will help everyone who understands this philosophy and sincerely learn from this philosophy and practice become this philosophy.

These 8 Bodhisattva, their will is unlimited life to protect anyone understand and learning this philosophy.

Also many Sky Kings and energy gods are followers of these Bodhisattva’s will also follow these 8 Bodhisattva protect every life who understand this philosophy and learning this philosophy.

## Sutra Chapter 3: Part 2

Any consciousness who is learning this philosophy and understands this philosophy, they will understand their true Dharma Body, their true Eternal Wisdom Heart.

They will understand their ability is Eternal Wisdom.

And their eyes will no longer be limited in material eyes. All the Sky Eyes, Dharma Eyes, Essence Eyes, Buddha Eyes will all appear and through that they can see unlimited illusion being connect to unlimited Pure Lands, unlimited space, unlimited appearance forms.

And even so they still know all they have seen are illusion and they will understand all this connection itself is empty

So their heart remains pure and have no greed want to hold anything.

But they understand all this illusion can appear through 6 senses, feel like it is reality and continue to constantly change and our consciousness can influence all of them and create them as a Pure Land to benefit other life to learn Dharma Joy.

They understand the 5 Developments

- to receive all this information,
- to observing and thinking all this information,
- to act react to all this information,
- to aware all this information

itself is just experience.

Though even feel it’s real, it’s still empty and their heart remains pure. They know all their experiences come and go, it’s like watching a movie, come and go but nothing is really there.

Their heart remains eternal wise see through all, free and joy to observe all this unlimited illusion being.

And for that their wisdom starts to open and develop into direction of Bodhisattva.

Finally through that they become aware of illusion being and how to influence illusion being with 4 Eternal Heart intention and 6 Bodhisattva Character.

Then they become a perfect appearance unlimited form Buddha’s body.

They can appear any kind of appearance life form. Connect to humans as a perfect human body, connect to dragon as a perfect Dragon Buddha. Connect to phoenix as a perfect Phoenix Buddha. Connect to ghosts as a perfect Ghost Buddha. Connect to hell so will appear as a perfect Buddha in the hell want to help every life. Connect to animal will appear as a perfect animal influence any life out of animal karma.

They will appear as all kinds of unlimited perfect intention form into unlimited space. So, when their wisdom connects to this philosophy their eyes can become so.

Through 5 eyes – Material Eyes, Energy Eyes, Dharma Eyes, Essence Eyes, Buddha Eyes appear to connect to see through all the illusion, finally can appear as perfect appearance form for all life, to influence every life.

Their ears will no more listen to their own greed. Their ears become **Observing Life Sound** **Bodhisattva** and listen to every life and aware what they are looking for, what kind of blindness, what kind of ego they create.

Through that they can observe what kind of wisdom they can create as a bridge to help them. What kind of convenient wisdom can be a system to help them out of all this blindness from their own ego voice. They hear unlimited voice, they also know how to create unlimited perfect voice, music, sound, philosophy, language and kindness voice, generous voice through all their intention become a wave and then appear to every life form, connect to them and through sound help them out of suffering. They all aware all this sound is come from creation of heart, it’s all illusion as well.

So if our heart is pure, the voice is also pure. Heart is wise, the voice is also wise. Through that create this illusion perfect Buddha’s voice in unlimited ways, help every life out of suffering.

So they become **Incredible Wonder Buddha’s Sound**, and finally become Buddha through observing life sound.

Their smell ability, they smell all the smells and aware all the smells come and go and it’s all temporary creation, temporary cause join together and all this temporary smell itself come and go, is also illusion. They know the good intention, the wise intention, able to observe, collect and create all the incense, sandalwood, all kinds of spiritual pure and clean smell for themselves and for all life. They also teach everybody those smells is also illusion temporary but we should purify ourselves, keep ourselves clean, have a clean smell, have a great good smell like a flower, like incense, like sandalwood. Make everybody through smell create a joyful feeling with generosity heart and for that they use all this great smell as convenient wisdom to help everybody calm down their heart and make everybody relax to observing life and finally develop wisdom. Aware life is illusion.

We can create bad smell, we can create spiritual smell, we can create pollution smell, we can create purify smell and influence everyone remain discipline and remain pure, remain clean, remain create good smell for each other. From that they become **Unlimited Great Smell Buddha.**

Taste, all taste itself is empty. Before it come, you didn’t have that taste. When you finish, that taste right away disappear. So between two empty, that taste is illusion.

But some taste will bring you more greed and make your energy go down. Some taste bring you joy and bring you actually have a compassion heart. So everyone who learn the philosophy will try to aware what taste help you develop spirits and then create those Dharma Joy tastes for themselves and influence other people to have this kind of amazing spiritual taste.

For example, like tea, or some fruits (Sifu gave example, last night had best mango ever. So much taste, such an amazing flavour, so sweet, every bite tastes like magic. Didn’t give feeling of greed, just complete Dharma Joy, content and appreciate heart). So taste can help you become **Dharma Unlimited Taste Joy Buddha**. Aware all the flavour can be a kind of appreciate heart.

Touch, all the touch before the feeling of touch you don’t have the feeling of touch. When they separate that feeling disappear, so that feeling is also combination of creation illusion. Before you have that connection it was not there. When out of that connection, that feeling disappears. So it is obvious it has no self, comes from causation, comes from relative.

So observing that you will understand all touch is temporary as illusion. And through that observing all touch, understand it’s all temporary illusion you will not want to hold anything.

You know any touch is an illusion, you don’t want to hold. But you will share good intention touch. Help people release tension touch, that’s acupuncture and massage. Help people no violence touch, self-defence touch, protect yourself protect others that kind of martial arts touch, and through that you become Wisdom Touch Buddha. Your touch have all good intention behind though even it is illusion, you want to use that illusion to develop wisdom, protect yourself, protect others, and use that touch illusion to help people release suffering and create all the healing power.

Finally through that become Bodhisattva and **Awareness Of Touch Illusion Brightness Understanding Wisdom Buddha.**

Thinking, thinking is normally thinking for our own ego greed and that will create unlimited worry and suffering. But if thinking becomes No I, just pure observing, to aware all the difference of all kinds of illusion, and then through that create unlimited convenient wisdom help people awaken from their own blindness ego. Then they become Aware Difference Bodhisattva, from that become Buddha, Unlimited Dharma Creator for help people see through all illusion, understand all the appearance form creation, become Pure Land Buddha.

These six senses can all create blind ego reincarnation, can create unlimited suffering. But these six sense, when it’s connect to all kinds of unlimited Eternal Wisdom, actually it help you become Bodhisattva and create unlimited spiritual karma, and eventually all become Buddha.

### Suffering
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/suffering-3/
Last updated: 2019-05-10T22:57:48.000Z
What is the Buddhist idea of suffering? Suffering basically comes from going against the truth of life. Life contains three basic truths, which are called Three Eternal Dharma Truths.

The first Truth is: All the existing form of Dharma (the mysterious power of life) is constantly changing. No eternity.

The second Truth is: All the existing forms of Dharma come from combinations of the other forms. So all the individual forms just appear to have individual forms. Truly they have no individuality. No individual form.

The third Truth is: The essence of Dharma has no form. Therefore it always remains calm and unlimited. This is Nirvana–no beginning, no end.

How do people go against these three eternal truths and create suffering?

First, we suffer because we try to hold onto something that cannot be held. The first eternal Truth says that everything is constantly changing. Therefore, one can hold on to nothing. But when our consciousness is greedy we try to possess the things we are aware of. In addition to outside material things we have acquired in life, we try to hold onto our physical bodies. This, of course, is not possible. Because we insist on trying to achieve the impossible, we feel lost and insecure. To be aware we cannot hold onto even our physical being makes us afraid. This fear is one kind of suffering.

A second way that we suffer is through our belief in having an “Individual I.” In reality all individual forms come from a combination of constantly changing and moving speed and remain a combination of constantly changing and moving speed. But the feeling of our having an individual I contradicts the second Truth. Once we look at life from the perspective of an individual I, then we feel distance from everything and we try to protect this sense of individual I. When our individual I feels attacked we respond by becoming angry and hateful. These, too, are kinds of suffering.

A third way we suffer is through our ignorance of the Truth of Life. The essence of life has no form. This means that our awareness is unlimited. Because we are not aware of this truth, this limitation is called Ignorance or Blindness. All suffering comes from this ignorance. When we can truly be aware that our essence is unlimited, then we will no longer be locked into our limited awareness. Blindness awareness creates all kinds of limitations, which cause the deep insecurities and create all other kinds of suffering.

The suffering that we experience as human beings comes through four basic paths, through our physical sense, our desire, our emotion, and our intellectual sense. 🙏🏼😊🕉😌

### Bodhisattva Care Power
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/bodhisattva-care-power/
Last updated: 2019-05-02T03:06:39.000Z
# Bodhisattva care power can be put into every situation.

Care means to help them get rid of suffering or prevent mistake from happening.

This is a beautiful wisdom ability.

But care heart does not count as care.

It is care wisdom that counts as care. Care wisdom of course has care heart.

Care heart without care wisdom is annoying person – a lot of ego, make situation worse.

So care power needs high standard of concentration awareness force to observe, leading you, pushing yourself stronger than your blindness.

## How to improve our care power?

### Understand Essence, Function and Goal of Spiritual Care.

#### Tai Chi Example

Tai Chi – you don’t have a habit to make every pose look cool, strong and relaxed, sharp eyes, aware yourself and the surroundings, not waste power, power from foot, remain light, agile and abstract, no physical tense, no strong I.

Lazy not to be aware of the disciplines anymore. You don’t have high standard of care power. Over self-confident. No one can pass Tai Chi and say I’m fine.

Why?

> ### In Tai Chi the moment you do it you are aware of that philosophy… or not 🙂

You have to be alive.

You have to take care of conditioning. even if you try your awareness is lower.

#### Olof question: Is there a simple spiritual care wisdom we can practice?

Answer – no.

> Spiritual care wisdom is like Tai Chi, it is living philosophy.

In every present, you are connected to Buddhism philosophy, understand all kinds of angles about life. Then understand the present, true situation who you are dealing with, then where is the middle way to care.

### Essence, Function and Goal of Spiritual Care

Use ability to be aware of the essence, function and goal in every present.

It is no beginning no end, observing ability, observing Buddhist philosophy and bring into present observing every situation – **ABILITY;**

Understand what principle, which is the **GOAL**;

Understand how to reach that principle, which is the **FUNCTION**;

Understand why you care, the reason for your care, what is the **ESSENCE** of that care.

So no easy spiritual wisdom care. That is why Bodhisattva can live in eternal wisdom care heart being. But we are just practising. We all think we know the words, but how complicated layers we have to be. Even Tai Chi so difficult, forget about Buddhism, care to a point there is no personal behind.

It is possible through discipline, willing heart higher and higher.

#### Understand deeper Essence of care:

1. Essence is where the care comes from;
2. If it comes from ego, then it is not spiritual care;
3. Observe what kind of ego that care comes from;
4. Observe what is spiritual care heart?
5. You understand the whole system of life;
6. Your heart understand the system of life is a learning process of life. Life is illusion, changing always changing anyway. You are the main cause of your own position what connects to you. So it you want to change something you change yourself first.
7. **Ask deep in your heart, in this illusion what do you feel is happy?**

# Direct Heart, Deep Heart, Awakened Heart and Sincere Heart.

Recording 23/12/2018

How to develop External Pure Land?

**Introduction to answer from Siddhartha Buddha teaching in Pure Name Buddha Book:**

External Pure Land come from your intention.

But that cannot appear until inside pure first.

## So first you have to build Internal Pure Land.

How to do that?

Sometimes you have an amazing feeling of joy inside of you.

Where is that joyful feeling?

Inside?

Outside?

Both?

Neither?

You can’t locate it anywhere. It has no location.

Your feeling has no location.

Say unlimited joy in your head.

Did you hear it without sound? The sound you hear is not inside or outside. It is directly created as your consciousness. Your consciousness has no form so whatever it creates also has no form.

When you see red apple, that feeling of red colour is inside or outside? If outside then you can never have that feeling. If it is inside then no one else can have that feeling!

We live in a non stop illusion feeling.

When you realise you are living in this then you can question and observe what is eternal.

## It all leads to the same answer – Life is Illusion.

When you observe you want to keep all the amazing and positive side of life stay positive and bright and joyful.

But you cannot.

Unless….

Unless you can non-stop create it!

Like Tai Chi or Chi Gong, if you can make perfect, that feeling to run the form, if you can create it, it will keep appearing again and again.

Perfect willing heart, right philosophy and right system – so you must be able to experience that perfect feeling once. But you can never hold it.

Develop wisdom ability and be that wisdom ability. Use that wisdom to create joy, self-confidence, concentration, awakened, freedom.

Then you will never depend on happiness from external anymore. And that is true freedom.

> No one can take away from you. Like my Tai Chi power, no one can take away. I can share and will never lose anything.

## Answer from Buddha: “You have to develop Direct Heart.”

What is Direct Heart?

You don’t get lost by this illusion world anymore. Not searching for them. When they come, don’t possessive and hold it.

Then your heart is free. Then you can use that free heart to observe life and develop wisdom ability.

Then you can recreate the illusion. Not illusion create you. Then you are free.

If illusion creates you, how can you ever be free.

That’s why we develop wisdom, how to create art, create power, good attitude, good intention, if we have power to create then we will not be moody.

We create good moods. Moods cannot control us.

And that is direct heart.

One side, directly see through life is Illusion: no searching, no possessive, don’t let blind ego control us, inside or outside, not from yourself or other people.

Other side, directly create 4 Eternal Hearts.

And that is why 4 Eternal Hearts is Eternal, it is an ability to create from our intention, character, attitude, subconscious body awareness, our space, the art, spiritual look and function as a reality of spiritual development.

> **Direct Heart is one side see through all the illusion as temporary nothing to get, don’t waste power. Then other side, directly unite your power to develop eternal wisdom ability and share kind, care, joy and free spiritual qualities anytime you want.**

Then you feel life is amazing, joyful and free.

### Practice meditation:

Take time to observe Buddha and Bodhisattva statue, be aware of their smiling, facial expression and posture. Then say you want to learn that. You can be.

Before they became Buddha they were a normal lifeform on any planet.

## How did they develop that power?

**Direct Heart.**

> “Without being asked to do so, the Bodhisattva becomes a good friend to each of the multitude of beings and carries their heavy karmic burdens and sins on his back. He upholds the Tathagata’s profound Dharma treasury and protects the seeds of buddhahood, so that they may continue to multiply. Having awakened great compassion for all sentient beings, he kindly expounds the teaching and endows them with the Dharma eye. He blocks the paths to the three evil realms (hell, beast and ghost realms), opens the gate of virtue, and, without waiting for their request, provides beings with the Dharma. He does this for the multitude of beings just as a dutiful son loves and respects his parents. He indeed looks upon sentient beings as his own self.”

**\-The Infinite life Sutra, longer Sukhavativyuha Sutra**

> “Samantabhadra Bodhisattva vowed, “I vow that when my life approaches its end, all obstructions will be swept away; I will see Amitabha Buddha, And be born in (Sukhavati), his land of Ultimate Bliss and Peace. When reborn in the western land, I will perfect and completely fulfill, without exception, my great (Bodhisattva) vows, to (save), delight and benefit all beings. The assembly of Amitabha Buddha are completely pure; When from a matchless lotus I am reborn, I will behold the Buddha’s Measureless light as he appears before me to bestow a prediction of Buddhahood. Receiving a prediction from the Buddha, I will manifest in countless appearances and forms, and with wisdom power vast and great, pervade the ten directions to benefit all the realms of living beings.”

**\-Avatamsaka Sutra (The Flower Garland Sutra)**

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

11\. Unconditioned merits surpass all

“Subhuti, if there were as many Ganges Rivers as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, what do you think, would the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers be many?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One. The Ganges Rivers alone would be incalculable, how much the more so the grains of sand in them.”

“Subhuti, I will now tell you the truth. If a good man, or good woman, used the seven precious gems to fill three thousand great thousand world systems equal in number to the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers, and gave them as a gift, would he obtain many blessings?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “If a good man, or good woman, were to receive and hold from this sutra even so few as four lines of verse and speak them for others, his blessings and virtue would surpass the former’s blessings and virtue.

### How can we stop falling into blindness?

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
# “How can we stop falling into the same blindness?”

Because we all make blindness mistake…

We want to improve but we fall back so easily. We are aware some wisdom, feel so exciting, then it’s gone so quick.

## First angle

“just don’t do it”

## Second answer

Tai chi record video system to observe self being your own subconscious development.

Aware many angles helps you to strongly develop wisdom heart.

That wisdom heart help you into Amitabha Buddha Land

Help you match karma into 3 conditions

Answer

## Why we fall into blind mistakes? Why does this happen? Have you ever wondered?

Red Bull’s Answer

Whenever suffering appears I have taken something illusion as main value instead of true value.

We fall into mistake because we fall into wrong value. 🧐

“Life is perfect” 👌 feeling is not our normal human feeling. Our normal feeling is Temporary lost forbearing world. Blind greedy ego suffering world…. 😞

Just temporary! Nice right we can be free from it. 🤩

We want to find eternity in an unlimited way of good intention so Amitabha Buddha system is our direction 😌🙏

We lost from outside blind karma many lifetimes and inside blind karma.🌪 So it’s easy to make a mistake again and again 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️ That’s normal!

But it’s not ok because you keep having struggle. Don’t punish yourself again and again. 🧻🛁

### Firstly,

We always have to remain aware of life the complete view, 🕉 don’t depend on anyone, don’t put true force and true life on other ppl or it will create fear, 🙀 out of possessive to others or anyone on you, see through that already clean one part

### Secondly,

develop the best of myself and share the best with everyone. 🤟😊

### How to do that?

To do that – clean out my ego important or anyone ego important.

> Think of my life, don’t take yourself as important, it’s wonderful. Stop trying to be important. 🙄
> 
> Not either one. No one is important. 💆‍♂️🧘‍♀️🌊

Ah everything equal important in a logical way not personal way, personal ego gone. ☀️🎋

You start to understand past present future everything equal important. ✨

Then you understand Four Eternal hearts and Amitabha Buddha system. 😊🙏

True value can’t be important or not important. No personal. Can’t be more or less. True value is true, fake value is fake, changing. 🌊

When you understand true value everything become naturally light. And you will become calm and not repeat mistakes.😌

Sharing is amazing and perfect. You don’t want to share is ugly and same ego not to share.🤨

Take out I am important in every situation without any I. Just care for everyone in a Kindness way without ego. When you do this you naturally connect to 3 conditions. 🕉

Through that you will value Amitabha Buddha system – not one or two or other… that is the true value.

Why does it work?

Because Three Eternal Dharma Truths

Consciousness create all the illusion ☸️🌊

Causation is all illusion 🌪🌊

Our heart creates it 💚

But our heart remains pure, 🕉

We can back to our pure heart and create

Connect to Amitabha Buddha Pure Land.😊🙏

## Summary:

Purify our blindness and then connect to pureness karma, through that you truly value what is true value and then you won’t fall back into mistakes again and again.

### Levels of awakening
URL: https://www.dropsofdharma.com/levels-of-awakening/
Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:27.000Z
# **Levels of Awakening in Buddhist Practical Wisdom**

## **Awakening Level 0**

- Not learning life, being blind act and react lifestyle, support it so not against
- Automatic mixed cause, automatic mixed karma, you have to receive that result.
- Before you learn eternal wisdom, because eternal wisdom is out of mixed cause.
- Inside the egg.
- Blind receive information and create all kind of blind experiences.

> Level 0 – inside the egg, trapped in blindness there but not aware you are trapped there

## **Awakening Level 1**

- Observing some truth, usually easier to look at the past, but not easy to do in present
- You’re inside the egg no stage, then out of egg is first stage.
- Realise there is a language deep and mysterious with clear logic to explain and understand life.
- When you are at that moment you want to try to learn.
- Understand whatever is our personal view, and whatever is eternal wisdom different.
- Mentally curious and respect even though you can’t understand completely, eternal wisdom from Mental. Reality is stay in personal.
- Black hole constantly changing of fear and worry

Examples:

- First time you came to philosophy class, realise there was a moment before you learned wisdom
- One leg one thumb
- Learning the First Eternal Dharma Truth
- Hearing group talking so deep with logic, you feel you don’t have power to join that, so you are aware wisdom you don’t have yet but you can learn. Probably frustrated you can’t understand, but patience to develop discipline it will make sense one day
- Guided meditation after class
- Connect and Curious to know eternal wisdom
- When you don’t even aware your suffering, your body, aware you have any blindness

> Level 1 – Observe the past using eternal wisdom you have learned and realise you were level 0 before.

## **Awakening Level 2**

- Not lost by your blind ego cause
- Receiving, no wisdom choice ego
- Inside – greed, fear, worry, get something, get ppl care for you, mess world
- Create your experience – remain blind, freedom there
- When you in level one realise eternal wisdom is to help you clean this out.
- Then you become a warrior, learning to fight yourself.
- Lotus Purify system.
- Tai Chi is a great bridge for this
- Amitabha Buddha 3 conditions help you aware the present. Observing Self Being non stop. Laser line never stop. Life stay awesome.

> Level 2 – When you drop back to level 0 and realise level 0 sucks so you keep training. Self Purify your ego level.

## **Awakening Level 3 / -3**

- Use the wisdom greedy way, get bigger ego then go minus 3 yay
- Then you regret, get ass kicked then aware more then you’re back.
- Level 0, Level 1, Level 0, Level 2, Level -3, Level 3
- Some people just add more discipline to purify themselves, hear it then they’re happy.
- More discipline, more open heart 👍

> Level 3 – From Level 2, you think you are wise, drop back Level -3, get your ass kicked and realise it’s not that easy to clean out your own blindness.

## **Awakening Level 4**

- You know even if you reach Level 3, you will still fall back to Level 0! 🙂
- You develop more discipline through your own observing, your own heart, not just ass kicking from spiritual teacher/others.
- You add more discipline for yourself. ie Tai Chi filming. From your own willing heart.

**—**

**Our development has two parts:**

1. Purify our intention, attitude and character;
2. Develop more wisdom ability.

> We develop a lot, but far away from Bodhisattva! Either we appreciate, or grumpy way… 🙂 Up to you!
> 
> **Appreciate heart will make you learn faster.**
### True success, true observing, true life, eternity

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:23:42.000Z
## **Tai Chi is a bridge for learning Amitabha Buddha system**

You don’t graduate Tai Chi because your heart doesn’t value it enough. 

If you mentally don’t value it then you won’t reach it.

Mental is the first stage of remembering. But at my level when I read philosophy I don’t just remember the exact words. I observe the Essence, Function, Goal → what is the essence?, what is the goal they try to reach and what is the system between that helps you to get there?

## **What is successful spiritual development?**

When I have struggles in my life, I take more time to observe to find a solution. How can I improve? There must be a cause. 

Giving up comes from our ego. With eternal spiritual will there is nothing to get so what are you giving up?

Things cannot be successful, not because they can’t be successful, but because we do not really value it, because we do not really observe it, because we do not really **use observing to create wisdom to make it successful.**

Because we are lazy, because we let our negative power control us to give up.

Because behind our intention there is a greedy ego or blind habit of following negative moody feeling and then there is such a thing as give up.

For awakened spiritual-will, sure-heart consciousness, there is no such thing as not successful.

Everything they do is surely successful because they do not think that there is a chance not to be successful. 

> Everything that happens to them they observe, so there is a chance for them to develop more wisdom to make everything successful. **It is successful before it is successful.**The moment the heart forms a spiritual will it is successful.

**Successful for them is not a personal ego feeling, or greedy feeling.**

Before you reach a will, it is a wish. 

Wish always changing, relative, personal, from our own greed and our own blind illusion behind it.

Wish you surely will not value it to a point, or if you get it you won’t care about it, it will never last long.

Will is from eternal wisdom, understanding clear logic from every life value, every life angle, there is not even one piece, one angle, one timing from any consciousness connection that can break that eternal wisdom logic down.

> **Will never changes.**

It is only this stage, where will is like a diamond, then there is such a thing as spiritual development. 

Then there is eternity.

Eternity is never outside, eternity is the wisdom to be aware of life completely. Because life complete view is eternity. And the ability to aware of it, is eternity. So it is double eternity. 

And If you develop the ability to truly be aware of it you will live in that awareness. And that is also eternity. 

Because it is eternity then the development get higher and higher. Finally you can become Bodhisattva. Finally you can become Buddha.

Anything out of that is just personal ego wish. That means, our personal desire and passion, eventually become struggle and then we finally let go of it.

Successful because we do not follow our own personal desire, instead we use eternal wisdom to develop more eternal wisdom. 

Successful by willing heart, pure heart, open heart, sincere heart to handle all the challenges and change all the muddy dirt into pure lotus.

> **Because successful it is not to reach a goal, it is in every present living in that goal and that is truly successful.** 

## **How to make Spiritual Heart appear?**

Spiritual development is so, Amitabha Buddha system is also so. 

It is not about the future, it is about every present you observe the true value and then you let your blind habit I not control you. And then through observing power you develop a wisdom-I, and then practice with that wisdom-I. 

And through practice using wisdom-I you develop will, which is spiritual heart-I and then finally lights on, darkness disappears. 

Spiritual heart appear. 

Become 100% sure, doubt does not exist anymore.

So all the doubt is because of all the blind habit personal ego-I still in control of your life. 

Blindness habit controls your body language, your speaking, your deep intention and thinking, throughout your lifestyle.

> **And to clean that out is not in the class or time to time, it is observing them every second.**

That means saying “Oh, I am in a blind-I, character and that is created by blind habit and they are temporary and that means I was valuing temporary, changing, fake illusion. 

*“From being a child until now how many ego-I have you had?”* **Many.** 

*“How many stupid values did you burn the desire and passion and action for for nothing?” *Many.**

**Uncountable. They keep changing and then they disappear.**

If you observe back you realise they are very stupid. So many things you think are so important and so valuable but really not. You create that with your ego. When time passes from a different angle to look back at it, no value there at all. 

> **When we practice this observing then we awaken.**

But the only case you don’t awaken from is that you continually fall into new blindness. 

Your personal case, is that you continually want to have a personal case. 

You never truly awaken to realise you should not keep creating personal cases.

You cut the weeds, but do not dig out the roots. 

**Tai Chi and Amitabha Buddha system is your chance to dig out the roots.**

Instead – **be aware of the present**, realise you should not follow your current stupidness. If every present you understand that, so you’re not creating stupidness to observe later and look back on, then your heart will remain always awakened – spiritual-I become your true life. 

**True life appears.**

Before that Daoism call this ghost life, because you are not living, you don’t know what is going on, no true-self, just temporarily here and there, without any meaning. Buddhism call that blindness suffering forbearing seeds. 

Growing seeds to later on forbear a suffering life in future. It make no sense. A nightmare, dream illusion.

## **What is true life?**

Daoism

- True life is Dao – see the past, be aware of the goal, living in every present to do it right.

Buddhism

- True life is awakened, enlightenment, nirvana always open heart – which is open heart to be aware your intention, thinking, speaking and action, lifestyle in every present.
- And then go further, use that awareness ability to be aware of every life with equal heart.
- Finally you become Bodhisattva, your consciousness no more limited with your ego blind habit. Your consciousness finally free from that, aware every life and every space.
- And to be aware of every life and every space is eternity power.

**In Amitabha Buddha Pure Land that is the power you are going to develop.**

## **How to develop?**

Tai Chi is your bridge to Amitabha Buddha system. Without that system you have to become a monk or nun. Complete discipline to get another chance, to go one more lifetime to come back to connect to someone to help you develop subconsciousness.

We all want to get spiritual life.

But we want to ‘get it’ only. 

But awakened consciousness know there is nothing to get, so they don’t want to get it. 

Spiritual life is being four eternal hearts.

Otherwise you just make another dream called **‘wanting to get spiritual life.’**

Amitabha Buddha system is the same – you are making another dream, “wanting to get Amitabha System.” 

Or you directly open heart aware the philosophy, directly living in the philosophy, connect to Amitabha Buddha System. That’s why I teach cloud hands and steam hands.

The final Steam Hand is you have to become Steam. Final Amitabha Buddha is you have to become internal Pure Land., you have to become 3 conditions in every present. Not in the next lifetime. No chance.

### **What is True Discipline?**

True discipline is no-birth discipline – whatever is born, this illusion-I, you are aware it is not your true-I, your true spirits. 

You use that illusion-I as a convenient bridge to purify. 

And that power to purify yourself you can use to help others. 

When you do double purify illusion-I becomes changing muddy dirt become a lotus seed, and that power is how you can go to Amitabha Buddha Pure Land. 

Doubt or no-doubt? Both blind.

And that power if you develop this lifetime in every present, then you will not need to doubt or no-doubt about Amitabha Buddha Pure Land. 

True Will already shining as your lifestyle intention is all that spiritual will. 

Final Amitabha Buddha System is to become that system itself.

> **Final steam hand is feel the steam inside of you, feel the steam is you – that is how you are going to move.**

Final Amitabha Buddha System – those three conditions are you.

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

15\. The merits of maintaining this sūtra

“Subhuti, a good man, or good woman, might in the morning give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, and again at noon might give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, and again in the evening might give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, giving up bodies in that way throughout measureless millions of kalpas. But if someone else were to hear this sutra and believe it with no reservations, his blessings would surpass the former one’s. How much the more so if people can write out, receive, hold, read, recite, and explain it for others. Subhuti, the merit and virtue of this sutra are inexpressible, inconceivable, boundless, and beyond all praise. It is spoken by the Tathagata for those who have set out on the Great Vehicle, those who have set out on the Supreme Vehicle. If people can receive, hold, read, recite, and speak it for others, they are completely known by the Tathagata; they are completely seen by the Tathagata. Such people accomplish immeasurable, inexpressible, boundless, inconceivable merit and virtue and thus sustain the Tathagata’s anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

“And why? Subhuti, one who delights in lesser teachings is attached to a view of self, a view of others, a view of living beings, and a view of a life. He cannot hear, receive, hold, read, or recite the sutra or explain it for others.

“Subhuti, the gods, the men, and the asuras of the world make offerings at any place where this sutra is found. You should know such a place is a stupa where everyone should respectfully bow, circumambulate, and scatter incense and flowers.

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

14\. Leaving appearances: Nirvāṇa

Then Subhuti, upon hearing the sutra spoken, and deeply understanding its purport, wept and said to the Buddha, “How rare, World Honored One, is this sutra so profoundly spoken by the Buddha. From the time I obtained the wisdom eye until the present I have never before heard such a sutra. World Honored One, if someone hears the sutra with a pure mind of faith then he produces real mark. That person should be known to have accomplished the foremost and most rare merit and virtue.

“World Honored One, the real mark is no mark, therefore the Tathagata calls it the real mark.

“World Honored One, now as I hear this sutra I believe, understand, receive, and hold it without difficulty. If in the future, in the last five hundred years, there are living beings who when they hear this sutra believe, understand, receive, and hold it, such people will be foremost and most rare. And why? Such people will have no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life. And why? The mark of self is no mark. The mark of others, the mark of living beings, and the mark of a life are no marks. And why? Those who have relinquished all marks are called Buddhas.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “So it is, so it is. If someone hears this sutra and is not frightened, or alarmed, or terrified, you should know that person is most rare. And why? Subhuti, the foremost paramita is spoken of by the Tathagata as no foremost paramita, therefore it is called the foremost paramita.

“Subhuti, the paramita of patience is spoken of by the Tathagata as no paramita of patience. Therefore it is called the paramita of patience. And why? Subhuti, it is as in the past when the King of Kalinga dismembered my body, at that time I had no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life.”

“And why? When I was cut limb from limb, if I had a mark of self, a mark of others, a mark of living beings, or a mark of a life, I would have been outraged.

“Subhuti, further I recall that in the past, for five hundred lives, I was the Patient Immortal. During all those lives I had no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life. For that reason, Subhuti, a Bodhisattva should, relinquishing all marks, produce the mind of anuttarasamyaksambodhi. He should produce that mind without dwelling in forms. He should produce that mind without dwelling in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. He should produce that mind that does not dwell anywhere. Any dwelling of the mind is no dwelling. Therefore the Buddha says, ‘The mind of a Bodhisattva should not dwell in forms when he gives.’ Subhuti, a Bodhisattva, to benefit all beings, should give thus. All marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no marks, and all living beings are spoken of as no living beings. Subhuti, the Tathagata is one who speaks the truth, who speaks the actual, who speaks what is so, who does not speak what is false, who does not speak what is not so.

“Subhuti, the dharma obtained by the Tathagata is neither true nor false.

“Subhuti, a Bodhisattva whose mind dwells in phenomena when he gives is like a man who enters darkness, who cannot see a thing. A Bodhisattva whose mind does not dwell in phenomena when he gives is like a man with eyes in the bright sunlight who can see all kinds of forms.

“Subhuti, in the future, if a good man, or good woman, can receive, hold, read, and recite this Sutra, then the Tathagata by means of all Buddha-wisdom, will completely know and see that person. That person accomplishes measureless and boundless merit and virtue.

Then Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, what should the sutra be named? How should we respect and hold it?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “The name of the sutra is Vajra Prajna Paramita. You should respect and hold it by that name. And why? Subhuti, Prajna Paramita is spoken of by the Buddha as no Prajna Paramita, therefore it is called Prajna Paramita.

“Subhuti, what do you think? Is there any dharma spoken by the Tathagata?”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, nothing has been spoken by the Tathagata.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Are all the motes of dust in three thousand great thousand world systems many?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One.”

“Subhuti, all motes of dust are spoken of by the Tathagata as no motes of dust, therefore they are called motes of dust. The world systems are spoken of by the Tathagata as no world systems, therefore they are called world systems.”

“Subhuti, what do you think, can the Tathagata be seen by means of the thirty-two marks?”

“No, World Honored One, one cannot see the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks. And why? The thirty-two marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no thirty-two marks, therefore they are called thirty-two marks.”

“Subhuti, a good man, or good woman, might give up his life as many times as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River; but if a person were to receive and hold even so few as four lines of verse of the sutra and explain them for others, his blessings would be greater.”

12\. Venerating the true teachings

“Moreover, Subhuti, you should know that all the gods, men, and asuras of the world should make offerings to any place at which even so few as four lines of verse from this sutra are spoken and so forth, just as they would to a Buddha’s shrine or temple; how much the more so to any place where people can completely receive, hold, read, and recite the sutra. Subhuti, you should know that such people realize the foremost and rarest dharma. In any place the sutra text is found, there is the Buddha or a reverent disciple.”

10\. The adornment of pure lands

The Buddha said to Subhuti, “What do you think? Was there any dharma which the Tathagata obtained while with Burning Lamp Buddha?”

“No, World Honored One, there was actually no dharma which the Tathagata obtained while with Burning Lamp Buddha.”

“Subhuti, what do you think, does a Bodhisattva adorn Buddhalands?”

“No, World Honored One. And why? The adornment of Buddhalands is no adornment, therefore it is called adornment.”

“Therefore, Subhuti, the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, should thus produce a pure mind. He should produce that mind without dwelling in forms. He should produce that mind without dwelling in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. His mind should produce a thought without dwelling anywhere.

“Subhuti, suppose a person had a body like Sumeru, King of Mountains. What do you think, would that body be big?”

Subhuti said, “Very big, World Honored One. And why? It is said by the Buddha to be no body. Therefore it is called a big body.”

9\. The appearance without appearance

“Subhuti, what do you think, can a Srotaapanna have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Srotaapanna.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? A Srotaapanna means One Who Has Entered the Flow, and yet he has not entered anything. He has not entered forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. For that reason he is called a Srotaapanna.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can a Sakrdagamin have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Sakrdagamin.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? A Sakrdagamin means One Who Returns Once More, but he actually does not have a returning. For that reason, he is called a Sakrdagamin.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can an Anagamin have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Anagamin.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? Anagamin means One Who Does Not Return, but he actually does not have no returning. For that reason, he is called Anagamin.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can an Arhat have the thought, ‘I have obtained Arhatship.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? Actually there is no dharma called an Arhat. World Honored One, if an Arhat had the thought, ‘I have attained Arhatship’ that would be attachment to self, to others, to living beings, and to a life. World Honored One, the Buddha says that in my attainment of the No Strife Samadhi, I am the foremost among men, that I am the foremost Arhat free from desire. World Honored One, I do not have the thought, ‘I am an Arhat free from desire.’ If I had the thought, ‘I have attained Arhatship’ then the World Honored One could not say, ‘Subhuti is the foremost of those who delight in practicing Arana.’ Since Subhuti actually has no practice, he is called ‘Subhuti, who delights in practicing Arana.’

Benefits of reciting the Vajra Cutter Sutra

The Vajra Cutter Sutra is unbelievable. It is one of the most profitable practices, because the root of all sufferings, yours and others, is the ignorance holding “I” as truly existent – even though it is empty of that; and the ignorance holding the aggregates as truly existent, even though they are empty of that. The only antidote to cut that, to get rid of that and through which to achieve liberation, the total cessation of the suffering causes – delusions and karma – is the wisdom realizing emptiness. This is the subject of the Vajra Cutter Sutra, emptiness. So, each time you read it, it leaves such a positive imprint. Without taking much time, without much difficulty, it is easy to actualize wisdom.

You also create a lot of merit, so it helps to actualize bodhichitta quickly, together with all the other realizations. That’s the business. That’s the deal with the Vajra Cutter Sutra. You create so much merit for whatever you wish. You help others and you achieve all your wishes easily. If you recite Vajra Cutter Sutra, many times, of course there is no worry for death at all. Good bye fear of death. Good bye fear of lower realms. Almost, you can say, “A Vajra Cutter Sutra a day, good bye lower realms,” like they say in the

U.S. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” “Good bye doctor!” Also, you can say, “goodbye” to self-grasping that has cheated you, totally controlled you from beginningless rebirth, and made you suffer numberless times from beginningless rebirths

– in the oceans of hell sufferings, the oceans of hungry ghost sufferings, the oceans of animal sufferings, the oceans of human being sufferings, the oceans of sura sufferings, the oceans of asura sufferings, the oceans of intermediate state beings sufferings, etc. Also, you know what an incredible source of collecting extensive merit reading it is. If, while you are reading it, while listening to or hearing the Vajra Cutter Sutra, or just hearing about it, if you continue with faith, just that, how much merit you collect is just mind blowing, amazing, incredible, wow! It makes you laugh.

By having heard the Vajra Cutter Sutra, if you don’t give up faith, merely with that, the merit that you collect is inconceivable, unbelievable, and unimaginable. It is far greater than, for example, giving your body in charity for one day to sentient beings in the morning – for how many times? – For the number of times equaling the sand grains of the River Ganga. This Ganga is not the river Ganga in India, it refers to the Pacific Ocean; and the sand grains are not what we usually think of. They are very tiny atoms, one of the seven types of subtle atoms. Then, again at noon you make charity of your body to sentient beings that many times. Then in the evening, again, you make charity of your body to sentient beings that many times, for the number of subtle atoms of sand grains in the Pacific Ocean. So, like that, every day for eons. It is simply unbelievable the merits of even for one day practicing that much charity to sentient beings, let alone three times a day, then on top of that for so many years, eons. That merit itself is unbelievable. Even giving just one body to sentient beings is unimaginable, unbelievable

– just to be able to do that, and then the benefits are equally unimaginable, unbelievable.

Now here, even if you practiced charity like that each day for that many eons, it becomes a small amount of merit compared to hearing the Vajra Cutter Sutra and not giving up faith. That means if you keep it, read it, memorize it, study its meaning, then you collect

far, far greater merits than the previous one. Reading Vajra Cutter Sutra is an incredible source of unbelievably powerful purification of all previous negative karmas collected since beginningless rebirths – all those unbelievable heavy ones. This is in addition to the unbelievable, incredible merit you collect by reading it, or just by keeping it.

The most important thing is that each time we read it; it plants a seed, an imprint to realize emptiness. The more you read it, the more imprints it leaves on the mind. So it becomes easy to realize emptiness. It becomes quicker and quicker to realize emptiness in this life. If not in this life, then quickly in future lives. Then by developing this wisdom, you achieve the wisdom of great insight unified with shamatha. You can meditate on emptiness unified with shamatha and are able to derive rapturous ecstasy of the body and mind. Then through this, you are able to achieve the direct perception of emptiness that ceases the defilements and the disturbing thoughts; first, by ceasing the intellectual all obscuring thought, and then the simultaneously born one. That is how you achieve liberation, by ceasing that completely, including the imprint, the seed. Then, with bodhichitta the direct perception of wisdom ceases even the subtle defilements and you achieve omniscient mind. Then, you are able to do perfect work for sentient beings. You are able to bring all sentient beings to enlightenment. This is the goal of our life: to bring sentient beings to enlightenment. When that happens, when we are able to do that, our goal is achieved.

Advice for doing many recitations:

You can do some of your recitations in the form of retreat and other times, like when you are doing a job, then every day you can recite it one time, two times, three times, whatever. Then, again do some recitations in the form of retreat, for two days, three days, or seven days, a month, a few months, whatever. When you do it in the form of a retreat, do a half-hour or one hour lam-rim meditation and then spend the rest of the session reading the Vajra Cutter Sutra; say, for two hours. That is just one idea; the amount of time is up to you. It’s not fixed. If you can combine it with lam-rim meditation, that is extremely good.

8\. Emerging from the Dharma

“Subhuti, what do you think, if someone filled three thousand great thousand world systems with the seven precious gems and gave them as a gift, would he obtain many blessings and virtue?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One. And why? Such blessings and virtue are not of the nature of blessings and virtue. Therefore the Tathagata speaks of many blessings and virtue.”

“If, on the other hand, a person were to receive and hold from this sutra even so few as four lines of verse and speak them for others, his blessings would surpass the previous ones. And why? Subhuti, all Buddhas and all Buddhas’ dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi come forth from this sutra. Subhuti, the Buddhadharmas spoken are no Buddhadharmas.

Diamond Sutra. Chapter 5\. Use complete logic to aware the complete truth

…

Basically until number 5, you start to develop wisdom all the illusion you see, your heart not trapped into it. Our heart is not free because our heart is trapped to all the appearance, from past life, this life, and continually dream about next life.

To Amitabha Buddha Pure Land, is not possessive to have appearance form, is actually develop through there to learn internal Pure Land.

Internal pure land is the nature being. And nature being, when it starts, that’s when the true life starts. Because when nature being not appear, all the being is a combination of all the influence, of all the blindness, so from there, there’s no true self. It’s just a combination of temporary illusion.

But nature being of 4 Eternal Heart, is from see through life is illusion, create the strength guiding the illusion into kind, care nature being way. Into convenient wisdom wise way nature being. Into see through illusion, never have greed, free way. The heart remain in this amazing quality of nature being. And for that, that power does not get affected by any illusion. In fact, all the illusion is supporting help the 4 Eternal Hearts to be awakened. Help the 4 qualities to grow.

Nature Being will not judge by the appearance, not judge by all other people’s intention. In Buddhism, there’s no good intention and bad intention, there’s only blind. Good and bad is both blind. Buddhism only has double appreciate to those blind because that’s their teacher. Give them chance to be kind, to practice Double Kindness.

So any blind consciousness in suffering they help, for that they appreciate that they have a chance to be kind. And their consciousness already develop such joyful double kindness, in natural different ways. And that’s why all the illusion will not have power to dominate and affect to their will.

**Another class on Chapter 5**

Bodhisattva can travel million universes like teleporting, instant. 

They bring sky music when they come to see Buddha. A magical time with many students from many universes – like our wireless speakers. 

They can send 4D energy flowers – with beautiful smell raining down 

They all call Buddha world-respected (unlimited universe) 

“Xi Pu Di 

Can you see Buddha? 

Student says no I cannot see Buddha. 

all the appearance is illusion – it is not the true appearance, then you see the essence of life.”

Essence of life is Buddha – then you see Buddha 

All the appearing form is already nothing – something there, still nothing. Because there is nothing there, everything is from others. 

All the appearing form is not the appearing form. 

3 Eternal Dharma Truth are centre of Buddhism 

Hold nothing incredible action is a direction 

How do you know the direction? 

You have to use complete logic to be aware of the complete truth.

3 eternal dharma truths is chapter 5

5\. The principle for true perception

“Subhuti, what do you think, can the Tathagata be seen by his physical marks?”

“No, World Honored One, the Tathagata cannot be seen by his physical marks. And why? It is because the physical marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no physical marks.”

The Buddha said to Subhuti, “All with marks is empty and false. If you can see all marks as no marks then you see the Tathagata.”

He should not dwell in forms when he gives, nor should he dwell in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs when he gives.

“No, World Honored One.”

“Subhuti, is space in the south, west, north, or in the intermediate directions, or above, or below, measurable?”

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

Translated by Tripitaka Master Kumarajiva of Yao Qin.

Thus I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of the Garden of the Benefactor of Orphans and the Solitary together with a gathering of great bhikshus, twelve hundred fifty in all.

At that time, at mealtime, the World Honored One put on his robe, took up his bowl, and entered the great city of Sravasti to beg for food. After he had finished his sequential begging within the city, he returned, ate the food, put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, arranged his seat, and sat down.

At that time the Elder Subhuti arose from his seat in the assembly, uncovered his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, put his palms together with respect and said to the Buddha,

“How rare, World Honored One, is the Tathagata who remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed.

“World Honored One, if a good man, or good woman, resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi, how should he dwell, how should he subdue his mind?”

The Buddha said, “Good indeed, good indeed, Subhuti. It is as you say. The Tathagata remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed. Now listen attentively; I shall tell you. A good man, or good woman, who resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi should thus dwell, should thus subdue his mind.”

“Yes, certainly, World Honored One. I want to hear. I am delighted to listen.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “All Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas, should thus subdue their minds with the vow, ‘I must cause all living beings – those born from eggs, born from wombs, born from moisture, born by transformation; those with form, those without form, those with thought, those without thought, those not totally with thought, and those not totally without thought – to enter nirvana without residue and be taken across to extinction.’ Yet of the immeasurable, boundless numbers of living beings thus taken across to extinction, there is actually no living being taken across to extinction. And why? Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva has a mark of self, a mark of others, a mark of living beings, or a mark of a life, he is not a Bodhisattva.

“Moreover, Subhuti, as to the act of giving, a Bodhisattva should not dwell anywhere when he gives. He should not dwell in forms when he gives, nor should he dwell in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs when he gives. Subhuti, a Bodhisattva should give thus: he should not dwell in marks. And why? If a Bodhisattva does not dwell in marks when he gives, his blessings and virtues are immeasurable.

“Subhuti, what do you think, is space in the east measurable?”

“No, World Honored One.”

“Subhuti, is space in the south, west, north, or in the intermediate directions, or above, or below, measurable?”

“No, World Honored One.”

“Subhuti, the blessings and virtue of a Bodhisattva who does not dwell in marks when he gives are just as immeasurable. Subhuti, a Bodhisattva should only dwell in what is taught thus.

“Subhuti, what do you think, can the Tathagata be seen by his physical marks?”

“No, World Honored One, the Tathagata cannot be seen by his physical marks. And why? It is because the physical marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no physical marks.”

The Buddha said to Subhuti, “All with marks is empty and false. If you can see all marks as no marks then you see the Tathagata.”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, in the future will there be living beings, who, when they hear such phrases spoken will truly believe?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “Do not speak in such a way! After the Tathagata’s extinction, in the last five hundred years, there will be those who hold the precepts and cultivate blessings who will believe such phrases and accept them as true.

“You should know that such people will have planted good roots with not just one Buddha, two Buddhas, three, four, or five Buddhas, but will have planted good roots with measureless millions of Buddhas. All who hear such phrases and produce even one thought of pure faith are completely known and completely seen by the Tathagata. Such living beings thus obtain measureless blessings and virtue. And why? Those living beings have no further mark of self, of others, of living beings, or of a life; no mark of phenomena and no mark of no phenomena. If living beings’ minds grasp at marks, then that is attachment to self, to others, to living beings, and to a life. For that reason you should not grasp at phenomena, nor should you grasp at no phenomena. Regarding that principle, the Tathagata often says, ‘All you bhiksus should know that the dharma which I speak is like a raft. Even the dharma should be relinquished, how much the more so what is not dharmas.’

“Subhuti, what do you think? Has the Tathagata attained anuttarasamyaksambodhi? Has the Tathagata spoken any dharma?”

Subhuti said, “As I understand what the Buddha has said, there is no concrete dharma called anuttarasamyaksambodhi, and there is no concrete dharma which the Tathagata has spoken. And why? The dharmas spoken by the Tathagata cannot be grasped and cannot be spoken. It is neither dharma nor no dharma. And why? Unconditioned dharma distinguishes worthy sages.”

“Subhuti, what do you think, if someone filled three thousand great thousand world systems with the seven precious gems and gave them as a gift, would he obtain many blessings and virtue?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One. And why? Such blessings and virtue are not of the nature of blessings and virtue. Therefore the Tathagata speaks of many blessings and virtue.”

“If, on the other hand, a person were to receive and hold from this sutra even so few as four lines of verse and speak them for others, his blessings would surpass the previous ones. And why? Subhuti, all Buddhas and all Buddhas’ dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi come forth from this sutra. Subhuti, the Buddhadharmas spoken are no Buddhadharmas.

“Subhuti, what do you think, can a Srotaapanna have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Srotaapanna.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? A Srotaapanna means One Who Has Entered the Flow, and yet he has not entered anything. He has not entered forms, sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. For that reason he is called a Srotaapanna.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can a Sakrdagamin have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Sakrdagamin.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? A Sakrdagamin means One Who Returns Once More, but he actually does not have a returning. For that reason, he is called a Sakrdagamin.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can an Anagamin have the thought, ‘I have obtained the fruit of Anagamin.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? Anagamin means One Who Does Not Return, but he actually does not have no returning. For that reason, he is called Anagamin.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can an Arhat have the thought, ‘I have obtained Arhatship.’?”

Subhuti said, “No, World Honored One. And why? Actually there is no dharma called an Arhat. World Honored One, if an Arhat had the thought, ‘I have attained Arhatship’ that would be attachment to self, to others, to living beings, and to a life. World Honored One, the Buddha says that in my attainment of the No Strife Samadhi, I am the foremost among men, that I am the foremost Arhat free from desire. World Honored One, I do not have the thought, ‘I am an Arhat free from desire.’ If I had the thought, ‘I have attained Arhatship’ then the World Honored One could not say, ‘Subhuti is the foremost of those who delight in practicing Arana.’ Since Subhuti actually has no practice, he is called ‘Subhuti, who delights in practicing Arana.’”

The Buddha said to Subhuti, “What do you think? Was there any dharma which the Tathagata obtained while with Burning Lamp Buddha?”

“No, World Honored One, there was actually no dharma which the Tathagata obtained while with Burning Lamp Buddha.”

“Subhuti, what do you think, does a Bodhisattva adorn Buddhalands?”

“No, World Honored One. And why? The adornment of Buddhalands is no adornment, therefore it is called adornment.”

“Therefore, Subhuti, the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, should thus produce a pure mind. He should produce that mind without dwelling in forms. He should produce that mind without dwelling in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. His mind should produce a thought without dwelling anywhere.

“Subhuti, suppose a person had a body like Sumeru, King of Mountains. What do you think, would that body be big?”

Subhuti said, “Very big, World Honored One. And why? It is said by the Buddha to be no body. Therefore it is called a big body.”

“Subhuti, if there were as many Ganges Rivers as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, what do you think, would the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers be many?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One. The Ganges Rivers alone would be incalculable, how much the more so the grains of sand in them.”

“Subhuti, I will now tell you the truth. If a good man, or good woman, used the seven precious gems to fill three thousand great thousand world systems equal in number to the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers, and gave them as a gift, would he obtain many blessings?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “If a good man, or good woman, were to receive and hold from this sutra even so few as four lines of verse and speak them for others, his blessings and virtue would surpass the former’s blessings and virtue.

“Moreover, Subhuti, you should know that all the gods, men, and asuras of the world should make offerings to any place at which even so few as four lines of verse from this sutra are spoken and so forth, just as they would to a Buddha’s shrine or temple; how much the more so to any place where people can completely receive, hold, read, and recite the sutra. Subhuti, you should know that such people realize the foremost and rarest dharma. In any place the sutra text is found, there is the Buddha or a reverent disciple.”

Then Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, what should the sutra be named? How should we respect and hold it?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “The name of the sutra is Vajra Prajna Paramita. You should respect and hold it by that name. And why? Subhuti, Prajna Paramita is spoken of by the Buddha as no Prajna Paramita, therefore it is called Prajna Paramita.

“Subhuti, what do you think? Is there any dharma spoken by the Tathagata?”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, nothing has been spoken by the Tathagata.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Are all the motes of dust in three thousand great thousand world systems many?”

Subhuti said, “Very many, World Honored One.”

“Subhuti, all motes of dust are spoken of by the Tathagata as no motes of dust, therefore they are called motes of dust. The world systems are spoken of by the Tathagata as no world systems, therefore they are called world systems.”

“Subhuti, what do you think, can the Tathagata be seen by means of the thirty-two marks?”

“No, World Honored One, one cannot see the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks. And why? The thirty-two marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no thirty-two marks, therefore they are called thirty-two marks.”

“Subhuti, a good man, or good woman, might give up his life as many times as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River; but if a person were to receive and hold even so few as four lines of verse of the sutra and explain them for others, his blessings would be greater.”

Then Subhuti, upon hearing the sutra spoken, and deeply understanding its purport, wept and said to the Buddha, “How rare, World Honored One, is this sutra so profoundly spoken by the Buddha. From the time I obtained the wisdom eye until the present I have never before heard such a sutra. World Honored One, if someone hears the sutra with a pure mind of faith then he produces real mark. That person should be known to have accomplished the foremost and most rare merit and virtue.

“World Honored One, the real mark is no mark, therefore the Tathagata calls it the real mark.

“World Honored One, now as I hear this sutra I believe, understand, receive, and hold it without difficulty. If in the future, in the last five hundred years, there are living beings who when they hear this sutra believe, understand, receive, and hold it, such people will be foremost and most rare. And why? Such people will have no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life. And why? The mark of self is no mark. The mark of others, the mark of living beings, and the mark of a life are no marks. And why? Those who have relinquished all marks are called Buddhas.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “So it is, so it is. If someone hears this sutra and is not frightened, or alarmed, or terrified, you should know that person is most rare. And why? Subhuti, the foremost paramita is spoken of by the Tathagata as no foremost paramita, therefore it is called the foremost paramita.

“Subhuti, the paramita of patience is spoken of by the Tathagata as no paramita of patience. Therefore it is called the paramita of patience. And why? Subhuti, it is as in the past when the King of Kalinga dismembered my body, at that time I had no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life.”

“And why? When I was cut limb from limb, if I had a mark of self, a mark of others, a mark of living beings, or a mark of a life, I would have been outraged.

“Subhuti, further I recall that in the past, for five hundred lives, I was the Patient Immortal. During all those lives I had no mark of self, no mark of others, no mark of living beings, and no mark of a life. For that reason, Subhuti, a Bodhisattva should, relinquishing all marks, produce the mind of anuttarasamyaksambodhi. He should produce that mind without dwelling in forms. He should produce that mind without dwelling in sounds, smells, tastes, tangible objects, or mental constructs. He should produce that mind that does not dwell anywhere. Any dwelling of the mind is no dwelling. Therefore the Buddha says, ‘The mind of a Bodhisattva should not dwell in forms when he gives.’ Subhuti, a Bodhisattva, to benefit all beings, should give thus. All marks are spoken of by the Tathagata as no marks, and all living beings are spoken of as no living beings. Subhuti, the Tathagata is one who speaks the truth, who speaks the actual, who speaks what is so, who does not speak what is false, who does not speak what is not so.

“Subhuti, the dharma obtained by the Tathagata is neither true nor false.

“Subhuti, a Bodhisattva whose mind dwells in phenomena when he gives is like a man who enters darkness, who cannot see a thing. A Bodhisattva whose mind does not dwell in phenomena when he gives is like a man with eyes in the bright sunlight who can see all kinds of forms.

“Subhuti, in the future, if a good man, or good woman, can receive, hold, read, and recite this Sutra, then the Tathagata by means of all Buddha-wisdom, will completely know and see that person. That person accomplishes measureless and boundless merit and virtue.

“Subhuti, a good man, or good woman, might in the morning give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, and again at noon might give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, and again in the evening might give up as many bodies as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, giving up bodies in that way throughout measureless millions of kalpas. But if someone else were to hear this sutra and believe it with no reservations, his blessings would surpass the former one’s. How much the more so if people can write out, receive, hold, read, recite, and explain it for others. Subhuti, the merit and virtue of this sutra are inexpressible, inconceivable, boundless, and beyond all praise. It is spoken by the Tathagata for those who have set out on the Great Vehicle, those who have set out on the Supreme Vehicle. If people can receive, hold, read, recite, and speak it for others, they are completely known by the Tathagata; they are completely seen by the Tathagata. Such people accomplish immeasurable, inexpressible, boundless, inconceivable merit and virtue and thus sustain the Tathagata’s anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

“And why? Subhuti, one who delights in lesser teachings is attached to a view of self, a view of others, a view of living beings, and a view of a life. He cannot hear, receive, hold, read, or recite the sutra or explain it for others.

 “Subhuti, the gods, the men, and the asuras of the world make offerings at any place where this sutra is found. You should know such a place is a stupa where everyone should respectfully bow, circumambulate, and scatter incense and flowers.

“Moreover, Subhuti, if a good man, or good woman, receives, holds, reads, and recites this sutra and if people ridicule him, that man has karmic offenses from previous lives which destine him for the evil paths. But because in his present life he is ridiculed by others, his previous karmic offenses are destroyed and he will attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

“Subhuti, I recall that in the past for limitless asamkhyeya kalpas prior to Burning Lamp Buddha, I encountered eighty-four thousands of millions of billions of nayutas of Buddhas, and made offerings to them all, and served them all without exception. But if there is a person in the final period who can receive, hold, read, and recite this sutra, the merit and virtue he obtains is a hundred times more, a thousand times more, a million, billion times more, to the point of being so great it exceeds all calculation and comparison, than the merit and virtue I gained from making offerings to all those Buddhas.

“Subhuti, if I were to express thoroughly the merit and virtue of a good man, or good woman, who in the final period receives, holds, reads, and recites the sutra, those who heard might go insane, and disbelieve. Subhuti, you should know that this sutra’s meaning is inconceivable, and that its resulting retribution is also inconceivable.”

Then Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, if a good man, or good woman, resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi, how should he dwell, how should he subdue his mind?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “A good man, or good woman, who has resolved his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi should think thus: ‘I should take all living beings across to extinction. Yet when all living beings have been taken across to extinction, there actually is not a single living being who has been taken across to extinction.’ And why? Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva has a mark of self, a mark of others, a mark of living beings, or a mark of a life, then he is not a Bodhisattva. For what reason? Subhuti, actually there is no dharma of resolving the mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

“Subhuti, what do you think? While the Tathagata was with Burning Lamp Buddha, was there any dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi attained?”

“No, World Honored One. As I understand what the Buddha has said, while the Buddha was with Burning Lamp Buddha there was no anuttarasamyaksambodhi attained.”

The Buddha said, “So it is, so it is, Subhuti. There actually was no dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi which the Tathagata attained. Subhuti, if there had been a dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi which the Tathagata attained, then Burning Lamp Buddha would not have given me the prediction, ‘You will in the future attain Buddhahood and be named Sakyamuni.’ Since there actually was no dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi attained, Burning Lamp Buddha gave me the prediction saying these words, ‘You will in the future attain Buddhahood and be named Sakyamuni.’

“And why? ‘Tathagata’ means the thusness of the dharma. If someone were to say the Tathagata attains anuttarasamyaksambodhi, Subhuti, actually there is no dharma of anuttarasamyaksambodhi which the Buddha attains. Subhuti, the anuttarasamyaksambodhi which the Tathagata attains, in that, there is neither true nor false. For that reason the Tathagata speaks of all phenomena as Buddhadharmas. Subhuti, all phenomena are spoken of as no phenomena. Therefore they are called phenomena.

“Subhuti, it is like a person’s big body.”

Subhuti said, “World Honored One, the person’s big body is spoken of by the Tathagata as no big body, therefore it is called a big body.”

“Subhuti, a Bodhisattva is also thus. If he were to say, ‘I should take measureless living beings across to extinction,’ then he would not be called a Bodhisattva. And why? Subhuti, there actually is no dharma called a Bodhisattva. For that reason the Buddha spoke of the dharma as being devoid of self, devoid of others, devoid of living beings, and devoid of a life.

“Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva were to say, ‘I shall adorn Buddhalands,’ he would not be called a Bodhisattva. And why? The adornment of Buddhalands is spoken of by the Tathagata as no adornment. Therefore it is called adornment. Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva comprehends that all dharmas is devoid of self, the Tathagata calls him a true Bodhisattva.

“Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the flesh eye?”

“So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has the flesh eye.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the heavenly eye?”

“So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has the heavenly eye.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the wisdom eye?”

“So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has the wisdom eye.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the dharma eye?”

“So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has the dharma eye.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Does the Tathagata have the Buddha eye?”

“So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has the Buddha eye.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Has the Tathagata spoken of the sand grains in the Ganges River?”

”So it is, World Honored One. The Tathagata has spoken of that sand.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? If all the grains of sand in one Ganges River became an equal number of Ganges Rivers, and all the grains of sand in all those Ganges Rivers became that many Buddhalands, would they be many?”

“Very many, World Honored One.”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “All the various thoughts which occur to all the living beings in all those Buddhalands are completely known by the Tathagata. And why? All thoughts are spoken of by the Tathagata as no thoughts, therefore they are called thoughts. For what reason? Subhuti, past thought cannot be got at, present thought cannot be got at, and future thought cannot be got at.

“Subhuti, what do you think? If someone filled the three thousand great thousand worlds with the seven precious gems and gave them as a gift, would that person for that reason obtain many blessings?”

“So it is, World Honored One. That person would for that reason obtain very many blessings.”

“Subhuti, if blessings and virtue were real, the Tathagata would not have spoken of obtaining many blessings. It is because blessings and virtue do not exist that the Tathagata has spoken of obtaining many blessings.

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Tathagata be seen in the perfection of his physical form?”

“No, World Honored One. The Tathagata cannot be seen in the perfection of his physical form. And why? The perfection of physical form is spoken of by the Tathagata as no perfection of physical form, therefore it is called the perfection of physical form.”

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Tathagata be seen in the perfection of marks?”

“No, World Honored One. The Tathagata cannot be seen in the perfection of marks. And why? The perfection of marks is spoken of by the Tathagata as no perfection of marks. Therefore it is called the perfection of marks.”

“Subhuti, do not say the Tathagata has the thought, ‘I have spoken dharma.’ Do not think that way. And why? If someone says the Tathagata has spoken dharma he slanders the Buddha due to his inability to understand what I say. Subhuti, in the dharma spoken there is no dharma which can be spoken, therefore it is called the dharma spoken.”

Then the sagacious Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, will there be living beings in the future who will believe this sutra when they hear it spoken?”

The Buddha said, “Subhuti, they are neither living beings nor no living beings. And why? Subhuti, living beings, living beings, are spoken of by the Tathagata as no living beings, therefore they are called living beings.”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, is it that the Tathagata in attaining anuttarasamyaksambodhi did not attain anything?”

The Buddha said, “So it is, so it is, Subhuti. As to anuttarasamyaksambodhi, there is not even the slightest dharma which I could attain, therefore it is called anuttarasamyaksambodhi.

“Moreover, Subhuti, this dharma is level and equal, with no high or low. Therefore it is called anuttarasamyaksambodhi. To cultivate all good practices with no self, no others, no living beings, and no life is to attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Subhuti, good practices are spoken of by the Tathagata as no good practices. Therefore they are called good practices.

“Subhuti, if there were heaps of the seven precious gems equal in amount to all the Sumerus, Kings of Mountains, in three thousand great thousand world systems, and someone gave them as a gift, and if someone else were to take from this Prajna Paramita Sutra as few as four lines of verse, and receive, hold, read, recite, and speak them for others, his blessings and virtue would surpass the previous one’s by more hundreds of thousands of millions of billions of times than either calculation or analogy could express.

“Subhuti, what do you think? You should not maintain that the Tathagata has this thought: ‘I shall take living beings across.’ Subhuti, do not have that thought. And why? There actually are no living beings taken across by the Tathagata. If there were living beings taken across by the Tathagata, then the Tathagata would have the existence of a self, of others, of living beings, and of a life. Subhuti, the existence of a self spoken of by the Tathagata is no existence of a self, but common people take it as the existence of a self. Subhuti, common people are spoken of by the Tathagata as no common people, therefore they are called common people.

“Subhuti, what do you think? Can one contemplate the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks?”

Subhuti said, “So it is, so it is, World Honored One. One can contemplate the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks.”

The Buddha said, “Subhuti, if one could contemplate the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks, then a Sagely Wheel-turning King would be a Tathagata.”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, as I understand what the Buddha has said, one should not contemplate the Tathagata by means of the thirty-two marks.”

At that time the World Honored One spoke a gatha, which says,

> If one sees me in forms,  
> If one seeks me in sounds,  
> He practices a deviant way,  
> And cannot see the Tathagata.

“Subhuti, you may have the thought that the Tathagata did not attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi by means of the perfection of marks. Subhuti, do not think that the Tathagata did not attain anuttarasamyaksambodhi by means of the perfection of marks. Subhuti, you should not think that those who have resolved their minds on anuttarasamyaksambodhi affirm the annihilation of all phenomena. Do not have that thought. And why? Those who have resolved their minds on anuttarasamyaksambodhi do not affirm the annihilation of marks.

“Subhuti, a Bodhisattva might fill world systems equal to Ganges River’s sands with the seven precious gems and give them as a gift. But if another person were to know that all phenomena are devoid of self and accomplish patience, that Bodhisattva’s merit and virtue would surpass that of the previous Bodhisattva. And why? Subhuti, it is because Bodhisattvas do not receive blessings and virtue.”

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, how is it that Bodhisattvas do not receive blessings and virtue?”

“Subhuti, since Bodhisattvas cannot be greedily attached to the blessings and virtue which they foster, they are said not to receive blessings and virtue.

“Subhuti, if someone were to say the Tathagata either comes or goes, either sits or lies down, that person would not understand the meaning of my teaching. And why? The Tathagata does not come from anywhere, nor does he go anywhere. Therefore he is called the Tathagata.

“Subhuti, if a good man or good woman were to pulverize three thousand great thousand world systems into motes of fine dust, what do you think, would that mass of fine dust be large?”

Subhuti said, “Large, World Honored One. And why? If that mass of fine dust motes actually existed, the Buddha would not speak of it as a mass of fine dust motes. And why? The mass of fine dust motes is spoken of by the Buddha as no mass of fine dust motes. Therefore it is called a mass of fine dust motes. World Honored One, the three thousand great thousand world systems are spoken of by the Tathagata as no world systems, therefore they are called world systems. And why? If world systems actually existed, then there would be a totality of marks. The totality of marks is spoken of by the Tathagata as no totality of marks. Therefore it is called a totality of marks.”

“Subhuti, the totality of marks cannot be spoken of, but people of the common sort greedily attach to such things.

“Subhuti, if someone were to say that the view of a self, the view of others, the view of living beings, and the view of a life are spoken of by the Buddha, Subhuti, what do you think? Does that person understand the meaning of my teaching?”

“No, World Honored One, that person does not understand the meaning of the Tathagata’s teaching. And why? The view of a self, the view of others, the view of livings beings, and the view of a life are spoken of by the World Honored One as no view of self, no view of others, no view of living beings, and no view of a life. Therefore they are called the view of self, the view of others, the view of living beings, and the view of a life.”

“Subhuti, those who have resolved their minds on anuttarasamyaksambodhi should thus know, thus view, thus believe and understand the dharma and not endow the dharma with marks. Subhuti, the marks of the dharma as spoken of by the Tathagata are no marks of the dharma, therefore they are called the marks of the dharma.

“Subhuti, someone might fill measureless asamkhyeyas of world systems with the seven precious gems and give them as a gift. But if a good man, or good woman, who has resolved his mind on Bodhi were to take from this sutra even as few as four lines of verse and receive, hold, read, recite, and extensively explain them for others, his blessings would surpass the other’s.”

How should it be explained to others? With no grasping at marks: thus, thus, unmoving. And why?

> All conditioned phenomena  
> Are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows,  
> Like dew drops and a lightning flash:  
> Contemplate them thus.

After the Buddha spoke this sutra the Elder Subhuti, all the bhiksus, bhiksunis, upasakas, upasikas, and the world with its gods, men, and asuras, heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced, believed, received, revered, and practiced.

## **Dharma Creator:** 

Shi Pu Di asks a question

- When someone asks a question and benefit a lot of people to help them learn
- Shi Pu Di he bow to Buddha, respectfully, joyfully ask.
- Buddha’s consciousness is the most incredible consciousness can help every consciousness develop wisdom and become bodhisattva and also can help all the Bodhisattva stay awakened and continue level never drop and then he asks Buddha:
- They call consciousness who want to learn Dharma, Kindness Man or Kindness Woman, it means they learn Dharma and want to check their character to become a generous and kind person.

- *Question is:*
- If someone wants to become a Bodhisattva, who has already developed towards Bodhisattva level, how can they control their heart?
- “If consciousness called Dharma Kindness want to be awakened, to develop become Bodhisattva, how can they control their consciousness, their true heart not to get lost by all the blindness external and internal.”
- Note: people who want to learn Bodhisattva level are called Kind(ness) consciousness.
- 3 qualities for Dharma Creator
- Intention of the questions is to help people learn eternal truth
- Question should be asked to someone who understands eternal truth ie Buddha – teacher
- Someone who is able to |observe life and find a good question can help through that question how to be free from suffering and how to develop eternal wisdom because through that question it can help people get rid of blindness and get away from suffering so it’s called Dharma, Dharma is the truth of life. Creator creates the question to make people aware of Dharma.

Question “Shi Pu Di, *if Dharma Kindness consciousness want to be awakened,*

*to develop become Bodhisattva, how can they control their consciousness (true heart), their true heart not to get lost by all the blindness external and internal?”*

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

2\. Elder Subhūti opens the question

At that time the Elder Subhuti arose from his seat in the assembly, uncovered his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, put his palms together with respect and said to the Buddha,

“How rare, World Honored One, is the Tathagata who remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed.

“World Honored One, if a good man, or good woman, resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi, how should he dwell, how should he subdue his mind?”

The Buddha said, “Good indeed, good indeed, Subhuti. It is as you say. The Tathagata remembers and protects all Bodhisattvas and causes them to be well-endowed. Now listen attentively; I shall tell you. A good man, or good woman, who resolves his mind on anuttarasamyaksambodhi should thus dwell, should thus subdue his mind.”

“Yes, certainly, World Honored One. I want to hear. I am delighted to listen.”

http://www.cttbusa.org/vajra/vajrasutra.asp

—————————————–

You also create a lot of merit, so it helps to actualize bodhichitta quickly, together with all the other realizations. That’s the business. That’s the deal with the Vajra Cutter Sutra. You create so much merit for whatever you wish. You help others and you achieve all your wishes easily. If you recite Vajra Cutter Sutra, many times, of course there is no worry for death at all. Good bye fear of death. Good bye fear of lower realms. Almost, you can say, “A Vajra Cutter Sutra a day, good bye lower realms,” like they say in the U.S. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” “Good bye doctor!” Also, you can say, “goodbye” to self-grasping that has cheated you, totally controlled you from beginningless rebirth, and made you suffer numberless times from beginningless rebirths – in the oceans of hell sufferings, the oceans of hungry ghost sufferings, the oceans of animal sufferings, the oceans of human being sufferings, the oceans of sura sufferings, the oceans of asura sufferings, the oceans of intermediate state beings sufferings, etc. Also, you know what an incredible source of collecting extensive merit reading it is. If, while you are reading it, while listening to or hearing the Vajra Cutter Sutra, or just hearing about it, if you continue with faith, just that, how much merit you collect is just mind blowing, amazing, incredible, wow! It makes you laugh.

Last updated: 2024-01-01T13:24:05.000Z
## **Book Three: True Dharma | See through 4 appearance is illusion** 

Their heart should stay awakened in this way.

Life can appear in unlimited ways.

All kind of life appearance, 

- Have form or no form  
  - Material form or non-material form (material and energy god style), egg style, reptile syle, mammal style, insect larvae, energy style (no material cause), spiritual will style
- Thinking power (human) or no thinking power  
  - (insect/animal subconsciousness below thinking power, and above is intuition style energy god, Bodhisattva, Buddha, demon and ghost, dragon and pheonix. They are directly aware without have to pass through thinking.
- Through will or no will  
  - Ego will, spiritual will

Developing consciousness become Bodhisattva, or Bodhisattva continue to become Buddha:

1st thing: Talk to their heart become a will open heart to help all the life become awakened

2nd thing: Willing to help every life, never have ego ‘I help anyone’

**Will to open heart help everyone. But never have ego ‘I help’ anyone**

Examples:

- You help someone and then they show bad attitude, you feel “Hey, I helped you!.”
- I help someone and feel proud, proud stops you helping more.
- When you say “I help that person” you are out of wisdom, you confirm you have an I, you are stuck in a dream where that I is real.

Summary, you help someone out of a dream, and then got lost in the dream yourself. Focus on help and then focus onto your I… attitude I so important.

Help needs a I… but you should concentrate on help, not on the I

Link to other philosophy: Tip from Dharma Kindness JC

- While I’m doing things, Remind myself of the 5 ways to wise help / 5 keys to true compassion  
  - Ability to help
  - Joyful to help
  - Free will me to choose to help
  - Free will them to choose me to help them
  - Direction in good/spiritual direction
  - Link to post…

Awakened consciousness understand these four:

4 appearances

I is illusion,

Human is illusion

Lifeform is illusion

Lifetime is illusion

Wu Wo (No I)

Wu Ren (No human)

Wu Zhong Seng (No lifeform)

Wu So Tze (No life time)

Guan Zi Zai, Pu Sa

What does no I mean?

Many ways to talk about it

- - If anything changing and comes from others then there is no true self in the appearance. Example, your body comes from 4 elements (earth is organs, water is blodd, wind is air, fire is temperature, those elements combine to make your I, but there is no I there just appears there is, that’s why illusion
  - Basically there is a true I, there, they would not say there is no I at all, otherwise who is learning? They say appearnace illusion, in the appearance I there is a temporary illusion, come from others, because of that there is not true self. Like a movie comes from others, so nothing there, when someone dies in a movie, no one dies.
  - Body is 6 sense illusion, 4 element illusion, five developments illusion, they are constantly changing and ahnge from others, they are built by 4 element, and 4 element are temporary appearance, that’s why they say see through.
  - You have a True I, that is what you are using, you are trying to understand , and that power to aware of something that is true I that is the power of life, that is but what you understand is not that true power

**Your body is what you connect to but it is not what you are**

- See through illusion That doesn’t mean it’s not important, in fact it’s very important, because that is your temple for learning life
- See through illusion doesn’t mean you don’t take care of it, see through illusion means you now have a choice, to realise you are going to create good illusion, or you are going to let blind illusion control your heart….. which one you want?  
  - Blind suffering illusion control your heart, or
  - Take care of good illusion and create joyful illusion?
  - Which one the choice is now yours?

- follow the wise choice to take care of it, create a good illusion, or be blindly controlled by the blind illusion and blind consciousness around you.

This is also called “First Awakening” we are blindly think our body is us. We connect to it and we think it is us. But we connect to a car but would never think a car is us! This is because we are connected to it 24 hours a day. But if you could meditation and be free from it you can start to realise the body is not you. When your heart is aware of that, then the heart that is aware of that is you, you realise that.

Second is no human

Follow this, our I is already no I. If our I is not I, there is no group I. If there is no group people, no lifeforms. If there are no lifeforms, there is no lifetimes. If you are aware all of these is illusion then you are Bodhisattva.

Because Bodhisattva aware of these four, he is aware, even though consciousness create these illusions in these dreams, Bodhisattva go to comfort that person that it is only a dream. But if Bodhisattva gets lost in the dream how he can help others out of that dream?

We are in a dream, we give ourselves nightmares, make ourselves not free, make our heart. Make life so serious. Our heart not feel free in present. But our heart is naturally free, no time, able to create all kinds of dream, but create a dream doesn’t mean locked in a dream. 

So to have a life is to create a dream, but we don’t want to be locked into that dream.

Remain – 

***“Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.”***

Summary, awakened consciousness aware of this can take everything light.

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

3\. The true way of the Great Vehicle

The Buddha told Subhuti, “All Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas, should thus subdue their minds with the vow, ‘I must cause all living beings – those born from eggs, born from wombs, born from moisture, born by transformation; those with form, those without form, those with thought, those without thought, those not totally with thought, and those not totally without thought – to enter nirvana without residue and be taken across to extinction.’ Yet of the immeasurable, boundless numbers of living beings thus taken across to extinction, there is actually no living being taken across to extinction. And why? Subhuti, if a Bodhisattva has a mark of self, a mark of others, a mark of living beings, or a mark of a life, he is not a Bodhisattva.

http://www.cttbusa.org/vajra/vajrasutra.asp

—————————————–

By having heard the Vajra Cutter Sutra, if you don’t give up faith, merely with that, the merit that you collect is inconceivable, unbelievable, and unimaginable. It is far greater than, for example, giving your body in charity for one day to sentient beings in the morning – for how many times? – For the number of times equaling the sand grains of the River Ganga. This Ganga is not the river Ganga in India, it refers to the Pacific Ocean; and the sand grains are not what we usually think of. They are very tiny atoms, one of the seven types of subtle atoms. Then, again at noon you make charity of your body to sentient beings that many times. Then in the evening, again, you make charity of your body to sentient beings that many times, for the number of subtle atoms of sand grains in the Pacific Ocean. So, like that, every day for eons. It is simply unbelievable the merits of even for one day practicing that much charity to sentient beings, let alone three times a day, then on top of that for so many years, eons. That merit itself is unbelievable. Even giving just one body to sentient beings is unimaginable, unbelievable – just to be able to do that, and then the benefits are equally unimaginable, unbelievable.

Now here, even if you practiced charity like that each day for that many eons, it becomes a small amount of merit compared to hearing the Vajra Cutter Sutra and not giving up faith. That means if you keep it, read it, memorize it, study its meaning, then you collect far, far greater merits than the previous one. Reading Vajra Cutter Sutra is an incredible source of unbelievably powerful purification of all previous negative karmas collected since beginningless rebirths – all those unbelievable heavy ones. This is in addition to the unbelievable, incredible merit you collect by reading it, or just by keeping it.

## **Book Six: Incredible understand True Wisdom Trust**

Recording from 1st Dec on latop at dojo has summary of this chapter

Incredible understanding true wisdom trust – chapter 6 of Diamond Sutra say how incredible for someone to learn this philosophy. Because there is true understanding then there is true trust.

Why is it so hard for human beings to Understand Diamond Sutra?

If you look at human history it is all built by ego. What is left when they die? Nothing. They lose all their abiilties, all their possessions, lose emotions, lose temporary identify with this body – there is not any history that doesn’t follow that blindness system ending with the same result.

Buddhism talk about eternal truth of life not in that human zone – it is actually out of that zone.

We live trillion life times in that zone, temporary-I, relative-I, one lifetime identity name, position, relationship I from those to see life. Not just sometimes but every second like that.

So we never experience out of ourselves to see life. 

And if we cannot do that, then how can we see complete angles of life?

That is why they say it is incredible to understand this wisdom. Then wisdom trust will appear.

While we are still blind we cannot understand. If you explain to a blind man that the sun is around. Then the blind man picks up a plate and says, ah this is the sun because it is around.

Understanding diamond sutra is not easy.

Whatever the diamond sutra explains is not the truth of life. The truth of life can be described, but whatever is described is not the truth of life. 

Dharma has different kinds, system of life, eternal truth of life.

See here for definition of Dharma and different kinds.

If you want to use your limitation to judge life, it’s like a kindergarten child talking about what they understand about Earth. Their view and experience of life is very narrow. BEcause they are weak they have a lot of fear. More blind, more fear will coem to you. You create it. It’s only when you open your heart and open your mind and open your hidden abilities why open view unlimited way to understand life, not thinking, directly experience, then you realise life is not what we think only, that limitation, life is not boring.

**Have you had an experience where you said “WOAH, that is incredible!”**

Students share some experiences

Rare and incredible is you! 

A chance to learn this philosophy, sincere to listen and able to understand? Because you can concentrate to understand true trust appears – that is incredible. 

Even a Buddha at that time is incredible. After Buddha left, even more incredible to learn. 

It’s more easy to trust when Buddha is there. 

Xi Pu Di 

World respected if someone aware what Buddha say now in the Diamond Sutra and they are able to understand and truly trust it is it possible? 

Buddha says: 

After I left Earth, if somebody really disciplined in life and really understand life is illusions and really have control and learn wisdom with discipline not get lost by this world and stay in pure intention this kind of powerful consciousness with discipline and sharp wisdom, when they read it they can understand. 

This person long time ago before this lifetime they were already met one Buddha (or more) or some even already learn from millions of Buddha, they have developed eternal wisdom kindness, and developed and grow true awakened wisdom ability so because of their will they learn this. Because they understand this their consciousness will already pure, free from blind ego, illusion, pollution connection. 

Buddha says: 

Xi Pu Di – is some people who have developed that far to understand our conversation their spiritual light is uncountable because this consciousness have a power stronger than all the pollution power. 

They can use the diamond sutra wisdom to directly develop awakened consciousness no more trapped in illusion I, wu wo, and wu ren, no more trapped in human zone, or lifeforms or lifetime. 

Thats why there spiritual lucky karma is incredible. 

Why do they have to understand the four true Dharma. 

Because anyone who has developed wisdom will right away have ego – I understand this , I aware more than others. 

When that appears, then they right away have no wisdom – because I and comparing heart appears. 

So awakened consciousness use wisdom to purify their ego, no to develop more ego. Have to understand all life is illusion. 

If someone learns Diamond Sutra and thinks they are wiser than others, then they are already lost. 

You become the wisdom, not hold the wisdom. 

Awakened consciousness aware nothing to hold, hold nothing. 

Question: What’s holding onto wisdom? 

Answer: Learn wisdom but never practice – read a book on tennis and think you can play well. Developing blind ego not wisdom. 

Addition TF: If someone uses a raft to cross a river, once they get to the other side they should discard the raft and continue walking. Would you carry the raft as you go? No. In this way, do not be possessive of any wisdom, the final is not the wisdom, it is the ability to be the wisdom to be free from blindness and help others awaken.

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

6\. The rarity of true belief

Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, in the future will there be living beings, who, when they hear such phrases spoken will truly believe?”

The Buddha told Subhuti, “Do not speak in such a way! After the Tathagata’s extinction, in the last five hundred years, there will be those who hold the precepts and cultivate blessings who will believe such phrases and accept them as true.

“You should know that such people will have planted good roots with not just one Buddha, two Buddhas, three, four, or five Buddhas, but will have planted good roots with measureless millions of Buddhas. All who hear such phrases and produce even one thought of pure faith are completely known and completely seen by the Tathagata. Such living beings thus obtain measureless blessings and virtue. And why? Those living beings have no further mark of self, of others, of living beings, or of a life; no mark of phenomena and no mark of no phenomena. If living beings’ minds grasp at marks, then that is attachment to self, to others, to living beings, and to a life. For that reason you should not grasp at phenomena, nor should you grasp at no phenomena. Regarding that principle, the Tathagata often says, ‘All you bhiksus should know that the dharma which I speak is like a raft. Even the dharma should be relinquished, how much the more so what is not dharmas.’

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra

1\. The cause of the Dharma assembly

Thus I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of the Garden of the Benefactor of Orphans and the Solitary together with a gathering of great bhikshus, twelve hundred fifty in all.

At that time, at mealtime, the World Honored One put on his robe, took up his bowl, and entered the great city of Sravasti to beg for food. After he had finished his sequential begging within the city, he returned, ate the food, put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, arranged his seat, and sat down.

## **Chapter One: Dharma Time and Space**

- Story of the garden how it appears
- Rich man becomes a beggar
- Golden garden

Dharma Cause

It talks about time and space

Space comes from story of prince and this richest guy who donate money and want to buy the garden, but the prince doesn’t want to sell the garden to him. He says you have to change all your money to become gold bars and then cover the ground, once you have covered the garden in gold.

So the richest guy becomes a beggar, give all his money for it.

The prince sees the rich man, now a beggar and is shocked, He says, “Why did you become a beggar? Why did you do that?”

The beggar says that even though he was so rich, he was also so unhappy and I never understand why? I get what I want, wives, kids, materials, anything I want. Everybody respect me. But I’m just so unhappy. Until Buddha teach me that because I’m lost in searching heart the strongest as well. 

It is until I can understand generosity and being free, hold nothing and be kind is the true happiness and that is your true heart, in fact being possessive is not our true heart. That is where we become lost and have suffering. and possessive is a black hole no end, and be generous is eternal and it doesn’t need to end, when you are generous you have no stress from searching, from worry you lose something, and because your happy and kind, you are not greedy want to get something. 

When you are greedy you are stuck in searching, want to get it, worry you won’t get it, then you get it, scared you will lose it, or it’s not as good as you thought , or you can never get rid of it… you get tired of it so end up looking for new one, this kind of psycho never ends.

Once you are lost in greed of ego, even if you are number one in that you are number one suffering person.

Once Buddha taught him that, he wanted to donate all of his money to build up a beautiful garden, offer for teaching him philosophy. 

Chapter one they talk about space and time. Time they talk about when, at that moment in time, because time is relative, here is day, other place is night, time is relative. It’s all illusion.

**Anathapindika — The Feeder of the Poor**  

72\. In the 5th century B.C.E., trade and commerce were already highly developed in India. Caravans travelled from one city to another and financial houses made money available for loan. If a person had skill and was prepared to take risks, it was quite possible to make a lot of money and perhaps even become a millionaire (*setthi*). One of the Buddha’s most famous lay disciples was such a man. His name was Sudatta but because he was always ready to give to the hungry, the homeless or the dispossessed, he was known by everybody as Anathapindika, meaning ‘the feeder of the poor’.  

73\. Anathapindika lived in Savatthi but he travelled a lot on business and one day while in Rajagaha, he went to visit his brother-in-law. The household was so busy with preparations for a feast that Anathapindika failed to get his usual warm welcome. “What is the big occasion?” Anathapindika asked his brother-in-law. “Are you preparing for a great wedding or perhaps a visit from the king?” “No,” was the reply. “The Buddha and his monks are coming for a meal tomorrow.” Just hearing the word ‘Buddha’ filled Anathapindika with such joy that he could hardly contain himself. “You mean that a fully enlightened being has arisen in the world? How wonderful! Take me to meet him”. Anathapindika wanted to go straight away but he was persuaded that it was too late and that it would be better to do so the next morning. That night Anathapindika was so excited that he could hardly sleep and he got up several times thinking it was already dawn. Eventually, thinking that the sun would be rising soon, Anathapindika set off to meet the Buddha, but as he entered the outskirts of the city and it was still dark, he became frightened and decided to turn back. Suddenly, a friendly spirit appeared illuminating the whole area and urged him to continue. “Walk on, friend. To move forward is better for you than to turn back.” Encouraged by these words, Anathapindika continued and soon came across the Buddha walking up and down in the early morning light. The Buddha saw Anathapindika hesitating to come closer and he beckoned him. “Come forward, Sudatta.” Astonished that the Buddha would know his real name and awed by the great man’s presence, Anathapindika hurried forward and bowed at the Buddha’s feet. The two men talked together for a while and as the sun came up; Anathapindika understood the essence of the Dharma and became a Stream-Winner.  

Anathapindika then asked the Buddha if he could offer him a meal the next day and the Buddha accepted. All during the day he thought how wonderful it would be if the Buddha could come to Savatthi and how many people would benefit from the visit. Consequently, the next day, after the Buddha had finished his meal, Anathapindika asked him if he would come and visit Savatthi. The Buddha thought for a while and then agreed, adding: “Enlightened ones prefer to stay in peaceful places”, and Anathapindika responded: “I fully understand, Lord.”  

74\. When Anathapindika finished his business in Rajagaha, he set out for Savatthi, and as soon as he arrived he began to make preparations for the Buddha’s arrival. First, he had to find a suitable place for the Buddha and his monks to stay, near the city but not too noisy. The best place proved to be a pleasure park about one kilometre south-west from the walls of Savatthi, owned by Prince Jeta. Anathapindika approached the prince and asked him if he wanted to sell his park. He declined. “Name a price,” Anathapindika insisted, but Prince Jeta reiterated that he was not interested in selling. “I will pay you any price you like,” Anathapindika said, and in order to put him off, the prince said: “All right! You can have the park for however much it costs to cover the ground with gold coins.” To the prince’s astonishment, Anathapindika enthusiastically agreed and left straight away to get the money. Soon a wagon, full of gold pieces, arrived at the park and servants began spreading the money on the ground. When Prince Jeta saw this, he realised how determined Anathapindika was to get the park and finally decided to accept a more reasonable price for it. Anathapindika then spent a huge amount of money building living quarters, assembly halls, storerooms and pavilions, laying out gardens and digging ponds while Prince Jeta offered to build an impressive gate house leading into the park and a wall around it for privacy. In recognition of the two men who made all this possible, the monastery was named Jeta’s Grove, Anathapindika’s Park or just Jeta’s Grove (Jetavana) for short.\[ [N1](https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/disciples16.htm?ref=dropsofdharma.com) \]  

75\. From the age of sixty, the Buddha spent every rainy season except his last at Jetavana and delivered more discourses there than at any other location. The Buddha’s favourite places in Jetavana were two small houses, the Kosambakuti and the Gandhakuti. The Gandhakuti (Fragrant Hut) got its name because the flowers that people constantly brought to offer to the Buddha gave the building such a pleasing fragrance. The Gandhakuti had a sitting room, bedroom and bathroom and a staircase leading up to it where the Buddha used to sometimes stand in the evening and address the monks. One of Ananda’s duties was to regularly dust and clean the Gandhakuti, remove the faded flowers and put the chair and bed back in their proper place.  

In 1863, the ruins of Jetavana were discovered and later archaeological investigation identified the Gandhakuti and the Kosambakuti, and showed that the Jetavana was a centre of Buddhism from the Buddha’s time right up until the 13th century C.E.  

76\. Although Anathapindika built the Jetavana, this was certainly not the extent of his generosity. Over the years he spent vast amounts of money providing the five requisites for monks, building and maintaining monasteries, and doing charity in the name of Buddhism. He understood that if wealth is used with generosity and compassion, it can be a real means for spiritual development.  

77\. But Anathapindika did not just have generosity with his wealth, he had generosity of spirit also. When he was young he had a friend named Kalakanni, which means ‘unlucky’, and the two boys used to make mud pies together as they played. As they grew up, Anathapindika became rich while Kalakanni seemed to be plagued by one misfortune after another and remained poor. Hoping that his old friend might help him, Kalakanni went one day, hesitant and ashamed, to see Anathapindika to ask if he could give him a job. Happy to help, Anathapindika gave him a job looking after the property in one of his houses. Anathapindika’s family were not happy to have Kalakanni in the house. “How can you employ this man? He’s nothing but a derelict. We are a respectable family while he is little more than a beggar. And besides, hearing that name Kalakanni being used in the house all day is bound to bring bad luck.” Anathapindika replied: “A person is not made by his name. The superstitious judge people by their names but the wise judge them by the goodness of their hearts. I shall not turn Kalakanni out simply because he is poor or because of his name. We have been friends since we were children.” Anathapindika’s family were silent but they were still not happy. One day Kalakanni had to return to his village for a while and when a group of thieves heard that he would be out of the house, they decided they would break in and rob the house. That night they came to the house not knowing that Kalakanni’s departure had been delayed. He awoke, and heard the thieves talking outside the window, and realising that there were several of them and that they were all heavily armed, he immediately jumped up, talking loudly, banging doors, lighting lamps in different rooms and generally made as much noise as he could. The thieves thought that there was a party in the house and they fled. When this became known, Anathapindika called his family, who were now very grateful to Kalakanni, and said to them, “If this house had not been guarded by such a wise and loyal friend, it would have been plundered. If I had taken your advice, we would all be in a very different position today. It is not name or wealth that makes a person, but his heart.” Kalakanni was given a raise and came to be accepted by the household.\[ [N2](https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/disciples16.htm?ref=dropsofdharma.com) \]  

78\. Anathapindika’s great wealth and equally great generosity prompted many of the Buddha’s discourses, some of them related to the subject of the skilful use of wealth. But sometimes, Anathapindika had to be reminded that it is not the lavishness of a gift that is important and also that there are some things more important than generosity, things like love and understanding, for example. In the Velama Sutta, the Buddha told Anathapindika about a man who had once given lavish gifts, but because no one really benefited, his gift had very little good effect.  

> “If he had fed a hundred people who had Perfect View, it would have had a greater effect. If he had fed a hundred Once-Returners, the effect would have been greater still. If he had fed a hundred Non-Returners, the effect would have been greater than this. If he had fed a hundred Noble Ones, it would have been greater than this. Feeding the whole Sangha with the Buddha at its head would have been yet again greater. If he had built a monastery for the use of the Sangha, it would have had a greater effect. Taking Refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha and keeping the Precepts would be greater still. Better yet would be to fill the heart with love. Best of all would be to develop the thought of love even if only for a moment.”\[ [N3](https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/disciples16.htm?ref=dropsofdharma.com) \]

Later in life, Anathapindika became quite poor due to his constant giving and also due to some unwise business decisions. Eventually, he became ill but Sariputta and Ananda visited him regularly, comforting him with talk on Dharma.\[ [N4](https://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/disciples16.htm?ref=dropsofdharma.com) \] Throughout its history, Buddhism has been assisted in its establishment and spread by the generous support it has received from wealthy merchants and businessmen, but the first and greatest of these was Anathapindika.
