While I’m meditating, especially when meditating on the [inner Heavenly] Sound, I don’t have very good experiences. However, sometimes I fall asleep, and before I wake up, I would hear a beautiful Sound. […] I know. I know. Because you were being too stubborn while meditating, kept waiting and waiting, and disturbed yourself. You kept struggling, so the (inner Heavenly) Sound couldn’t come. When it came, you blocked it. When you were relaxed… While you were not meditating, your mind didn’t analyze too much. You said, “I don’t meditate now.” Then your spirit was no longer anxious. The (inner Heavenly) Sound had been at the door waiting, so now it wanted to hurry in.

(Once, I went to a fellow initiate’s house for dinner. There was a Qi Gong master who was getting ready to learn from Master. He had turned vegan, but had not kept it long enough for initiation. He then used his inner eye to see us. He said that he had a strong affinity with Master. He said he saw that I was very bright. However, I can’t see my own Light. My heart…) The outside people can see better than you do. Because you are too close. It’s alright if you can’t see yourself clearly. It’s better that someone sees it, better than no one sees it. Right? (Right.) Sometimes it’s more convincing when outside people tell you. If Master says it, he would say, “That person, She wanted me to believe in Her, of course She said so.”

(While I’m meditating, I always have a lot of distracting thoughts.) It’s alright. It’s just your brain. Your soul doesn’t have any distracting thoughts. OK? (Thank You, Master.) Because of those distracting thoughts, you could not see the (inner Heavenly) Light. But the Light is there. Otherwise, how could anyone see you? Right?

And those people told you that you are very bright. Did he receive any envelope? No, so he didn’t have to say that. Right? And he is a spiritual practitioner, he won’t lie. There’s no use lying, he knows that. People with faith don’t dare to lie. You will go to hell if you tell lies like this. Right? So, believe what he said. Sometimes our brain tricks us, blocks us from seeing our true nature. But since it is like that, you feel a strong yearning. Master should have someone else see it and tell you. Otherwise… Otherwise, is there any other solution? Like that sister, she also went to look for some other gurus, so she could compare me with them. You can compare with anyone you want. I’m not afraid of it. So you will know who is who. The more you compare, the more you understand. The more you see, the more you understand. OK. Next.

(Hallo, Master. I’ve just got initiated on March 3, this year. Initiated for two months.) You all have this kind of problem. Don’t tell when you get initiation. Who cares? (Two months after initiation – in these two months, I haven’t had any obvious experiences doing the [inner Heavenly] Light or Sound mediation. However, I feel that… Neither have I seen Master’s manifestation body. But I feel that Master is taking care of me at all times. For example, this time that I could come here was all thanks to Master’s help. I’m here miraculously, after all the impossible situations. Like changing cards, applying for visa, in a few minutes… I felt it was almost impossible, but after arriving there, for a few minutes, it was done. I arrived here on the 6th. I felt Master on the way of coming here. I recited the Five Holy Names all the way here. After reciting one of Them… It is like gaining a kind of confidence. It took me just a moment to pass the customs and leave the country. I feel very excited. I think, though I don’t have many visible experiences, I’ve been believing in Master firmly. I think only firm… meaning if you can… Under the circumstances without experiences, if you still can believe in Master firmly, Master will definitely help and take care of you, until you progress further.) That’s for sure. (This is a little bit of my feelings.) It truly is like that.

(I’m thinking that, sometimes Master is… Though I don’t see anything, sometimes Master’s manifestation body, through Master and different channels, and sometimes… I want to ask a question, and I see the answer through reading books, and sometimes through my daughter. My daughter has just turned nine years old. She told me how Master told me, “You will pass.” She can always see Master’s image or “Master is telling you” and let her talk. Before coming here, I asked, “Can I go or not?” I was very anxious in my heart, so I asked her, “Help me ask.” She said, “When you are changing the card, you have to recite the Five Holy Names and think of Master, then you can go.” She always sees Master. And more than one month after initiation, one evening she just… Afterward, an initiated brother told me, “Tell your child not to disclose it and you don’t ask about her experience.” I stopped asking her after one night. Later, after it’s over… Before initiation, I always asked her. I said, “When do you think I can get initiation?” She said, “Master told you that you can get it in March.” Then it did happen that I got initiation. Then, there was one time that she said that…) Are you depending on your child to live? A typical Chinese.

(No. At that time I… I can’t see it. But I feel as if Master also works through her… Master tells me… it gives me confidence and strength. Once she told me about the grandma of my husband. She said, “Mom, don’t move. Don’t talk to me.” She said that my husband’s grandma was standing on a lotus flower and going above. Sitting or standing on a platform of the lotus flower. I was very touched. Though I don’t have those visions, I believe in Master very firmly. I think I’ve chosen the very right path.) Can you rest for a while? Have some rest and let others talk. And then maybe speak again later. (Well, I…) Take some breaths. (Thank You.) OK. Others.

(Master, I’d like to ask a question about group meditation. There are about nine people in our group which is divided into two shifts. The shift who goes to work in the office in the morning meditate from 4PM to 7PM, and the other shift who works in the evening meditates up to 10PM. Later, a new person joined the group, a fellow initiate from another city. As he is 19 years old, he doesn’t come to group meditation often. Therefore, when he came to group meditation, the others felt particularly uncomfortable. The next day, I told him, “Is it possible that you practice more at home, studying more of Master’s teachings, and then come back to group meditation again?” But other initiated sisters and brothers said, “Hey! You are so unloving.” He said, “You should let him attend. You should help him.” I said, “Fine.”

And I let him come the next day. After he came, we felt particularly uncomfortable again. I then asked him, “Why you are still the same today?” He said, “I went to play soccer this morning.” He likes to play soccer. “On the day of group meditation you should not play soccer because you have gotten yourself very tired.”) What? (He went to play soccer.) (Play soccer. Soccer.) Oh! (Right.) Is it just for fun, or it is his… (He works night shift. In the morning time… I mean, if before group meditation, you could… You should…) You should advise him to rest more. (Yes. But later he… I found out that he would joke around with the girls and tease them. And later I found that he’s not very pure in his body, speech and mind. As a result, I kicked him out again. So, they also asked if doing this was unloving.)

Don’t kick him out. Just tell him to sit in the back, away from others. (Sit farther away? OK.) If you feel very uncomfortable, after a while, he will become better, and you will become better together. (Yes. I was worried that similar problems will occur again in future. Because in the future it might…) Some people are new here. Some new comers are like that. (But he has been initiated for about two years.) Two years. Maybe he hasn’t practiced well. If you make him practice at home, he’ll get worse. (Yes.) At least he comes for group meditation. OK? (Fine. OK. Thank You.) Bear with him. Give him good advice and talk to him. Tell him to focus more, save his energy for group meditation, be more focused before group meditation, and keep his body, speech and mind pure. Teasing girls is a common thing. Or do you want him to be gay or what? He is young, so naturally he wants to talk to the girls. He wants to find a girlfriend. It’s a very common thing. It would be strange if he doesn’t. There must be something wrong. OK. Don’t control him too much. The more you pay attention to him, the more discomfort you will feel. We should focus on ourselves. OK? If you don’t feel good sitting next to him, then sit elsewhere.

(Hallo, Master. Three years ago, I happened to hear Your songs at an initiated sister’s house, and I was so touched. Two years later, I got initiated. Before initiation, I heard a humming sound in my ears. Now without doing the [inner Heavenly] Sound meditation or the [inner Heavenly] Light meditation, I still hear the Sound. I don’t know if I have any problems.) No, there’s no problem. It’s alright. If you want to listen to it, then listen. If you don’t want to, just ignore it. I’m talking about the sound coming from the left side. (It’s from my left side.) If you usually hear it everywhere, it’s normal. No problem. (OK. Thank You, Master.) You’re welcome. Some people hear very loud sounds from their left ear. It bothers them so they can’t… They just can’t ignore it. If you can ignore it or to pull your attention to the right ear or to the top of your head, then it’s OK. Or, if you hear the (inner Heavenly) Sound all over your head, that’s alright. It’s common.

(Master, sometimes when we do something, or when an idea comes up, it might arise from various reasons, so how can I tell if my idea or the thing I do arises from my ego or the better side of my true Self? I think sometimes I can’t differentiate clearly.) It’s alright. Let it be. Whatever you want to do, just do it. Except don’t hurt others or yourself. Then it’s OK. (But…) Try it. (But if I can’t differentiate, and have no way to truly understand why I do it, sometimes I feel that it will increase my ego or block my spiritual progress.) Let it be! If you have fun doing things, then it’s also fine. Why do you have to do something grand every time? (OK. Thank You, Master.) Relax. We are not managing the Universe for God. OK?

(Hallo, Master. While I’m meditating, especially when meditating on the [inner Heavenly] Sound, I don’t have very good experiences. However, sometimes I fall asleep, and before I wake up, I would hear a beautiful Sound. Sometimes it’s the sound of a soprano, and sometimes it’s the harp. Very nice music. I don’t know whether it was the devil testing me, telling me to lie down and not get up to meditate, or was it a real experience?) Brazil. You’re still so young, how could the devil test you? Why would it test you with harp music? If it wanted to test you, it would use a hammer, not a harp. (But while I was sitting meditating...) Couldn’t hear it. (I rarely hear this kind of sound.)

I know. I know. Because you were being too stubborn while meditating, kept waiting and waiting, and disturbed yourself. You kept struggling, so the (inner Heavenly) Sound couldn’t come. When it came, you blocked it. When you were relaxed… While you were not meditating, your mind didn’t analyze too much. You said, “I don’t meditate now.” Then your spirit was no longer anxious. The (inner Heavenly) Sound had been at the door waiting, so now it wanted to hurry in. You just listen to it and welcome it. OK? (OK. Thank You, Master.) It’s alright.

Why are you still so young? How are your children? (All fine.) What about your husband? (Master takes good care of him.) How’s your husband? OK.

(Hallo, Master. I got initiated this January. During the three months of being vegan, I already had a lot of experiences. Both my outer experiences and inner visions were wonderful.) Congratulations! (Thank You, Master. I had a cold every month, and was a frequent visitor to the hospital. Everyone knew me. I would have a fever and go get an IV drip when I had not been initiated. Just in the process of going vegan, I became healthy. How do I know if I became healthy? I also felt uncomfortable that month. I said, “I should have a fever. How come I don’t?”) Do you want to get a fever again? You can. (I checked inside my throat and saw two spots with pus, meaning there was already an abscess in my tonsils, but I didn’t have a fever. I cried with emotion. From then on, I haven’t had a fever again. Thank You, Master.) OK. You are welcome. (I have another question.) Don’t mention it. Don’t. It’ll come again.

(Another one. Master. I learned Zhong Gong [based on Qi Ging] before because of my poor health. At the time when I was learning Zhong Gong, my chest felt blocked. When I meditated my chest felt blocked. Now, it’s much better, but still not OK. Sometimes it’s always… It’s OK during group meditation, but when I meditated by myself, it is blocked, Master.) Then try to get it through as much as possible. (OK. Thank You, Master.) Try to meditate more. More. Make it more each time. OK? (OK. Thank You, Master.) Until it really breaks through. Habit. It’s the habit.

(Hallo, Master. I’ve been initiated for eight months. Before and after initiation, I had good experiences. Thank You, Master. Another thing is, before I left for the retreat, my husband asked me to send Master his regards. He said that he missed Master very much.) You also send him my regards. (Thank You, Master.) Send him my regards for me. (Thanks.) Is it OK? Is the light OK? Can take this away if not needed. It’s too dark. (Yes.)

(Hallo, Master. Thank You, …) Where are you? (Over here. Thank You, Master, for taking care of me all these years. Since I got initiated, I felt everything has changed. My life became better, my family relationships have improved, and my financial situation has also greatly improved. And about… two years ago, I had breast cancer. Because I knew it after I got initiated, I didn’t pay attention to it. Later, those two years… Three years later, I had the surgery because it had grown bigger, it was ruptured, and pus began to discharge. Then the hospital said the surgery had to be done. It had already spread. Under the circumstance, I had the operation. After the operation, the doctor said that I still had to have chemotherapy. Since I had seen the effect of chemotherapy wasn’t good, I chose to believe in Master and did not take chemotherapy. After half a year, I took the follow-up check-up, and all the indexes were normal. They were all very surprised. I didn’t take any medicine. I took nothing, nor did I do anything...) You were so bold. (Because… I…) You were so mischievous. (Originally, I insisted on not going to the hospital for surgery. Later I listened to Master’s tape. Master said, “Your inner determination is not enough. When you are sick, you have to go to the hospital.” Immediately I made up my mind. I said, “I have to go. My inner determination is not enough.” That was why I had the surgery. Now I’m completely recovered.)
