從愛心出發

您可以變改整個宇宙 倒海移山 您可以變改餓鬼成慈悲的天使 師父，為什麼 您忘記變改這個壞的心？

Don’t you have such sincerity? Yes, I know, you want to put Master in this world. But people
like their lovely karma and have no place for Master. Therefore, this world still always has problems.
There are so many material things in this world we can enjoy; however, we human beings still havemany troubles. It still seems we cannot survive and that we are going to burst. Why? This is because there is a thing within us that is very difficult to be satisfied. That thing is expectation, longing. We naturally have that kind of entreating quality.

Most people’s prayers receive no response. Why is that? Today I’m going to teach
you how to pray to get a better response. No matter what we pray for, we must first ask
ourselves, is this thing really necessary for us? Is it important? Is it really beneficial to us?
Will it harm other people? If we know that what we’re praying for is not important, not
benevolent, and not necessary, our subconscious won’t accept it.
Our Almighty power does not fall from the Western Paradise or Heaven, nor is it
bestowed on us by Jesus, or reserved for us by Shakyamuni Buddha; it resides inside our
brains. If you can look through here (Master points to Her wisdom eye), you’ll see it’s
located in the center. This is the place where our Almighty power resides. The success of our
prayer depends on whether it passes through this place. When our prayer passes through this
place, our Almighty power knows if the thing we pray for is necessary or good for us, or if
it’s harmful to other people. There’s no way we can deceive this power.
So we don’t need to waste time praying for things that are unnecessary, unimportant,
not benevolent or not loving. If you want your prayers to come true, consider first whether
the thing you’re praying for is necessary. Then pray wholeheartedly without distraction, and
your prayer will definitely come true. But can you pray to become a billionaire overnight,
win at gambling, or win the lotto? Of course not.

What should the Quan Yin Method practitioner pray for? We should pray to become
a Master quickly and become one with the Master sooner. Why? First, it’s because once
you’re one with the Master, all your suffering will disappear. You’ll no longer have troubles,
as they’ll all be taken away. Secondly, you’ll have incredible power and infinite merits. You
can help anyone immediately without them praying to you or knowing who you are. At
that time, you help without the involvement of the ego. Therefore, it’s said in the Diamond
Sutra, “Deliver sentient beings but no sentient beings are being delivered.” That’s what is
meant. Sentient beings have no idea that they’re being delivered by you, or helped by you.
That’s why I always say that I don’t just give initiation to a small group of people
every time, because many people receive initiation without seeing me or knowing my
name. Many receive initiation by reading my books, or hearing my name once. A lot of
people receive initiation by praying sincerely to Quan Yin Bodhisattva (the Goddess of
Mercy), for example. The reason is that I’m not this physical being and I’m connected
with the Almighty power. So whenever people pray to this Almighty power, I’m there. This
universal, Almighty power is exactly the same as your own.
That’s why Lao Tzu said, “All of creation is One.” When we practice to a higher level,
we’ll realize this. We’ll realize that all creatures have the same kind of power within. We’ll
see it in trees, in animals, in Quan Yin practitioners and in non-Quan Yin practitioners.
But Quan Yin practitioners realize and can make use of this power, because they have
uncovered it. Other sentient beings, or those who don’t practice the Quan Yin Method,
don’t realize this power. It isn’t like they don’t have this power; they do, but they can’t use
it. They have the treasure, but it’s locked up and they don’t have the key.

When we reach this level in our spiritual practice, we respect all sentient beings,
because we see Master everywhere and in anything. At this level, we can bow to our
fellow practitioners and our own disciples. That’s why at the last supper, Jesus washed His
disciples’ feet. All His disciples were startled and said, “Master, why are You doing this?”
Jesus’ level was very high and He understood that all beings are equal. He said, “I, Your
Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you should also wash one another’s feet.”
(John 13:14-15) What did He mean? He meant that we should practice with an equal heart.
But His disciples hadn’t reached this level so Jesus had to explain it through this example.
If His disciples had already attained the level of equality, Jesus wouldn’t have had to make
such an example and explain it, and the disciples wouldn’t have been so surprised!
Only when we’re connected with this Almighty power do we have hope of going
higher. Quan Yin practitioners who don’t slander the Master and who do practice diligently
are less likely to go lower. You should, however, realize your own Almighty power so that
you don’t just rely on Master’s level all the time. If you practice for yourself, your level
will be higher, you’ll improve more, and you’ll be able to help others. Whoever you think
of or feel sympathy with will receive your help immediately.
If we realize the Supreme power, our innermost, omnipotent power, we can do
anything, and anything is possible.

You can do it yourself. We practice to help ourselves, to help the Master, and to help
the world. Actually, we can’t help the Master much, but at least we can lessen His or Her
worry and suffering. If we practice, our karma will be erased more quickly, our lives will
be more peaceful and we’ll do things more smoothly. Of course, then the Master will also
be very pleased.

You meet the master who is in accordance with your prayers. If in this life or in your
previous life, you prayed to attain the highest level and highest wisdom, then in your next life
or even in this life, you’ll meet a Master of the highest level. There’s no doubt about that! If,
however, in your past life or in this life, you prayed to Quan Yin Bodhisattva to help lessen your
suffering in this world, to have things go more smoothly, or to have harmony in your family,
you’ll only meet this kind of master. For example, you’ll meet an ordinary monastic person
who’s very benevolent, and you can tell him about all your difficulties and worries. He can
explain things to you in a logical way, or answer many of your questions. Then, you go home
and handle your problems according to his advice, and you find that you’re happy and your life
becomes better. It’s just like that. Or, you’ll run into someone who’s very rich, who’s ready to
satisfy all your needs. He’ll give you money without you asking. Or, you’ll run into a person
who comes unbidden to help heal your illness, bring you to see a doctor, repair your roof when
it’s leaking, etc. It’s because you’ve prayed sincerely in your last life for these things.
Those who want to be liberated, who want to become a Buddha in one lifetime, or to
be totally liberated from the cycle of life and death, will meet a Master of the highest level
and a method of the highest practice. Only those who pray for eternal liberation, to attain
Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, to be one with God and with Truth, will come across the Quan
Yin Method. Also, not everyone can teach the Quan Yin Method. If there’s no real power
transmitted during initiation, the one who receives the initiation will have no experiences.
Therefore, you can tell if a Master is true or not at the time of initiation. A true Master can
enlighten you with the same kind of experiences described in the holy scriptures.
All right, I’ll let you go home and work hard. Make good use of this Almighty, pure,
and all-positive power. It would be a great pity if you don’t use it. There’s nothing else in this
world that’s more precious. There’s no other gift that Master can give you that’s nobler and
more precious than this. I tell you many stories all the time, but ultimately my advice to you
is to practice the Quan Yin Method – the method of contemplating the inner Sound Current
and inner Light.
