We have the happy opportunity to be reunited, and turn our mind toward the sublime purity:
This is a favorable opportunity. Heaven and Earth harmonize to give out pure energy in a beautiful environment. The scenery is peaceful. We have the opportunity to be reunited to direct our mind toward the sublime purity of The Lord and The Buddha in order to advance further on the spiritual path.
Learning together, we understand all nuances and colors:
We learn together with dedication in order to understand our inherent nuances and colors that will appear with serenity.
During the meditative contemplation, we cultivate our serenity and awaken to the divine love:
We meditate together, each of us with a different spiritual level. But we share a common path of spiritual development, and we will awaken to the divine love. Awakening means to understand our inner self.
The spiritual congress contains all sorts of nuances and colors:
At this spiritual congress, all spiritual levels are reunited at the same place in order to work for the Great Common Cause.
Colors and nuances describe the sublime purity:
Colors and nuances describe the sublime purity that is completely unbounded.
During this happy reunion, we exchange our spiritual knowledge spontaneously:
We have the good opportunity to meet our brothers and sisters again, and we exchange our spiritual knowledge freely. We have been longing to meet each other, and now our wish has come true!
Vowing to practice the spiritual method and presenting ourselves as offering to the Lord,
We devote to the spiritual practice to open up a clear and bright spiritual path:
When we have expressed the vow for spiritual perfection, we must practice the method of meditation with diligence in order to open widely the spiritual path, and develop our compassion.
We rejoice together and always strive to return to the sphere of purity:
We rejoice together and our heart is directed toward lightness and purity. We constantly advance toward this goal.
When our compassionate heart opens widely, we also comprehend the power of Buddha and the Lord:
When we have developed our compassionate heart, we will see where the land of Sublime Serenity resides, and we will constantly strive to return to this place. When our compassionate heart opens widely, we also comprehend the power of Buddha and the Lord: Only when our compassionate energy develops generously and attains a brilliant light, will we truly understand the infinite value of Buddha and the Lord.
With a serene heart, our consciousness acquires a brilliant knowledge:
When I have reached equilibrium, I will also attain full enlightenment, and my consciousness will always shine brilliantly with spiritual knowledge.
We practice with perseverance to advance within harmony toward higher spheres:
We must be determined to practice the method of purification and release our impure energy with regularity and calmness. Then, we will achieve our goal in a timely manner.
Brothers and sisters live under the same roof: Today, as brothers and sisters, we have the opportunity to live under the same roof, under the heavenly skies of the whole universe.
Rejoicing together within peace, our heart is filled with love: Rejoicing within peace, we appreciate the boundless love of Heaven and Earth that constantly nurtures us at each minute and second.
We develop our spiritual consciousness to open the Path: To develop our spiritual consciousness means to allow our soul to progress further.
With our love and spiritual virtue, we give a fine example to the earthly world: Only with compassionate love and spiritual virtue, will we be able to influence people on this earth. There is only one Spiritual Way: the Way of Love and Spiritual Virtue – similar to the compassion of Heaven and Earth. The Almighty Lord has created all kinds of pure and light things in order to help and guide humanity.
As true spiritual adepts, we contribute our share: If we practice in a righteous manner, we will be able to contribute our share.
Loving and respecting all creatures, we elevate ourselves by our own efforts: Only with love and forgiveness, will we be able to reach higher spheres.
As true spiritual adepts, we contribute our share: If we practice in a righteous manner, we will be able to contribute our share.
After having learned the lessons, we must go through the testing period,
Developing our spiritual heart and mind, we fly serenely toward Heaven:
After having learned the lessons, we go through the testing period to develop our spiritual heart and mind and to fly serenely toward the heavenly sphere. At that time, our soul will be light and pure, and can enter or leave the physical body easily.
We elevate ourselves to advance in a timely manner: We must elevate ourselves in order to advance toward infinity. We will always harmonize with the circumstances.
Working together for the common cause, we practice with our own efforts: When we choose the same path to build our spiritual foundation, we clearly see that we must practice with our own efforts to perfect ourselves. Only then will we be able to make progress. If others practice in our place, we will not make any progress. We must practice on our own to obtain results.
Let’s awaken our consciousness to chase away all blindness: We must attain spiritual awakening in order to dissipate all blindness and delusion in our inner consciousness.
Let’s practice with determination to clear our ignorance: We must be determined to practice with diligence and perseverance to clear all ignorance in our inner consciousness.
Our awakened soul will avoid being lost and aimless : When we know our soul, we will avoid becoming lost and aimless.
Let’s learn and meditate together at the same hours: Let’s practice and learn together. We should be willing to sit together and learn with diligence at the same hours. We must practice at the right moment when both Heaven and Earth are opening up with their pure energy.
As spiritual adepts, we must understand the serene principle of Heaven and Earth. We must practice in a righteous manner. We will then develop our spiritual mind and advance toward infinity. Those who cannot develop their spiritual mind will always remain entangled within their inner consciousness. They will not advance spiritually, and their anger and desires will grow. Those who become more and more wicked and evil are not true spiritual adepts. We must abandon all hatred and revenge in our inner consciousness in order to truly build our spiritual mind. If we still feel hatred and jealousy toward others, we only destroy our spiritual mind and condemn ourselves to a lower rank. We have the good spiritual opportunity to encounter a worthy spiritual method. We must practice in a righteous manner to release the impure energy and preserve the pure energy. Then, each part within us will progress according to its own level. We will no longer be manipulated by our own frustration, anger, passion, and agitation.
Today, you can clearly see that thanks to our diligent efforts to practice every night, the Lord has now granted us a wonderful congress. We all develop our spiritual mind in a natural and harmonious environment, filled with light and freshness. Our soul is filled with light, and our mind is no longer aimless and obscure like in the past. We deeply appreciate the lightness and purity granted by the Almighty Lord, and we practice with an unfailing courage. We now have a different way of seeing, listening, and our voice is now different, with a lighter and purer sound. Our body always feels light and relaxed. Why? Because we have restored our inner equilibrium. As newborns, we feel light and pure, and we are free of all worries. Now, as grown-ups, we worry about all kinds of things, because we have accumulated too many impurities without the opportunity to release them. Today, we have the occasion to purify ourselves. When we breathe through the stomach, we are purifying ourselves so that our brains can reach a greater peace and inner calm.
As spiritual adepts, if our brains are not calm and peaceful, we will feel heavy and aimless. Therefore, the Vo-Vi method has the exercise of silent invocation of the mantra Nam Mo A Di Da Phat to release the impure energy and open up the great spiritual mind of each individual, so that he can understand spiritual matters more clearly each day. When we understand the spiritual matters, we will accept to practice and perfect ourselves with diligence. Those who accept to practice and learn will always advance and never step back. Every night, we painstakingly practice meditation, but what results do we get? We only obtain a tiny bit of lightness and purity. If we keep doing so every day, we will eventually become fully pure and light. We sit here, but we don’t feel our body, our mind is gone, we only see the sublime and boundless light of Heaven and Earth. At that moment, we will no longer feel isolated and aimless. Those who advance on the right path will only develop themselves and will not be blocked. Those who take the wrong path will hold on to intransigence and rivalries, and will not release their impurities. They are unable to progress. As they stagnate, they will blame that this method or that method is unrighteous, but they will only harvest sufferings for themselves. How can they make progress if they refuse to blame themselves and correct their mistakes? One must blame oneself, criticize oneself, and correct one’s mistakes. This is a valuable attitude. On the other hand, to blame others will only help them to progress further, while one will not correct one’s weaknesses. This attitude is procrastination, and will not allow the soul to progress further on the path of spiritual evolution.
Many spiritual adepts claim that they have attained a high level, but they are eventually lured into a political group. They want to control this person or that person, and seek all kinds of means to earn money. They want to build a powerful status on earth, but they don’t have a way to escape. To escape means to advance toward infinity. One must achieve a complete detachment in order to find a place in the Heavenly Land. Those who hold to intransigence and rivalry will remain locked. One must practice in order to achieve spiritual perfection. Those who don’t practice will never advance. The pure energy of Heaven and Earth has helped and guided us continuously. If our consciousness is still heavy, if we still feel anger and hatred toward others, we only imprison our consciousness and prevent it from further development.
Every year, we have the opportunity to live together during the Congress in order to understand the serene principle of Heaven and Earth. We look at ourselves as a divine image, but are we yet capable of making it light and pure? Therefore, we must practice a method to release the impure energy and preserve the pure energy, so that we can radiate Light. Only when we radiate Light, will we be a true divine image.
Only when our divine image has achieved order and discipline, will we be able to influence the others so that we all progress together on the spiritual path. Those spiritual adepts who don’t utilize the pure energy of Heaven and Earth, but rely on their argumentation to cover up their evil crimes will never achieve progress. We must practice, and encounter the friction of the pure breath of Heaven and Earth to open up our spiritual consciousness and elevate ourselves higher. If we don’t encounter the friction of the pure energy of Heaven and Earth, how can we develop our inner consciousness and inner organs? We will only cling to profane words, and the success stories of the Buddhas. The Buddhas have endured suffering before expressing words of Truth, but today, we refuse to accept suffering. Then how can we express good words? We must endure hardship, and practice frugality and humbleness to develop our spiritual virtue; we must devote many hours to the spiritual training and perfection in order to awaken our true consciousness. The more awakened we become, the clearer we will see the importance of compassionate energy. We must learn compassion and develop our compassion in order to progress toward infinity. If we refuse to learn compassion and develop our compassion, we will never have the opportunity to reach infinity.
A serene person will work for all domains. If we are not serene, we will only work in one area. Even though we may spend a lot of efforts and publicity, we are limited to a small area of activity, and won’t be able to advance toward infinity. In other words, we don’t have a place to grow in the future. We must be serene in order to attain enlightenment. To obtain serenity, we must practice long hours with patience and humility. During the practice of meditation, we will encounter actions and reactions, similarly to a person who is climbing a mountain. Once we have reached the top, we will become fully relaxed, freed of all worries, light, and pure.
Therefore, there is a saying that one must accept hardship, and practice frugality and spiritual virtue to reach the state of a Boddhisattva. One must accept hardship, and practice with diligence and perseverance in order to advance further and release one’s karma. If we refuse to practice with courage and diligence, we will only stagnate at one place and won’t be able to evolve further.
The soul is the master of the body, and not vice versa. We should not overly depend on external forces. We must utilize our existing abilities in order to advance toward infinity. This is an essential task during the period of transformation of the celestial mechanism. We must use determination in order to abandon the realm of agitation and return to the realm of serenity. If we refuse to practice, we will only cause sufferings to ourselves by clinging to our own argumentation. If one has not achieved the state of a Buddha, or the state of an Immortal, but one claims to be a Buddha or an Immortal, or some other Saint, one will only harm oneself, and create additional karma. On this earth, everybody likes to see a Buddha, an Immortal, or a Saint. They like to take advantage of those who claim to be a Saint or an Immortal. They also want to profit from those who claim to be a Buddha, and even more if the person claims to be The Almighty Lord. Doing so will only create new karma for the heart, and the soul won’t be able to progress spiritually. As Vo-Vi practitioners, we turn big matters into small ones, and we turn small matters into nothingness. Only then will we truly appreciate the noble value of purity and lightness. Purity and lightness are infinite. Every spiritual adept must practice patience and humility on this earth to attain equilibrium in his inner consciousness and return to purity and lightness. Only then will his soul develop in a positive manner and achieve purity and lightness. On the other hand, if one sits like a rock, everyday for ten hours or twenty hours, without reaching purity and lightness, one will never be able to progress. One will only accumulate anger and boredom, and the soul is unable to progress. Those who practice the right dharma to release their impure energy and preserve their pure energy will feel lighter and purer each day. The impure will no longer attack our inner consciousness.
Why as human beings, do we have to practice spiritual perfection? Because we have encountered too much hardship, and we are unable to disentangle the complexity in our inner consciousness. Therefore, we must practice a spiritual method. To practice means to strive toward detachment. Those who are detached will be light, and able to fly upward. On the other hand, those unable to detach themselves will always feel heavy and slowed down by their karma! To release the karmic forces means to renew felicity and divine blessings. If the karma always occupies our heart, we will never be able to receive the blessings of the Lord and the Buddhas in our true consciousness. We will only fall deeper into suffering! Therefore, I have often said: Suffering, suffering, and suffering will eventually lead us to the border of the Buddhist Dharma. To utilize one’s wicked spirit to make plots and outsmart others is not as worthy as to cultivate one’s serenity. Only with serenity will one be able to resolve all matters on this earth. If one lacks serenity, one will not be able to resolve anything. All human beings are greedy. Greediness leads to desires. One encounters actions and reactions because of greediness. On the other hand, if one improves oneself, one will progress further. Holding on to the actions and reactions, and lamenting loudly to seek help will lead nowhere. To pray a God and present offerings will not change things; one will be unable to develop oneself and open up one’s consciousness. To pray and offer a lot of offerings to a God is useless. The important thing is to devote to spiritual perfection. Those who do not perfect themselves will never attain equilibrium, and will never make progress. Even profane people who don’t practice any spiritual method, but who see and correct their mistakes a little bit daily, will obtain positive results. If one accepts to correct one’s mistakes, the consciousness will develop in an abundant and positive manner. If one refuses to assert one’s mistakes and correct them, they will only increase with time, and bring suffering, without a way to escape. One will constantly devise new plots, all kinds of plots without any success.
We clearly prove that everyone must practice the method of meditation until this day in order to have the opportunity to live together peacefully during this congress. We meet each other with joy, we shake hands and embrace each other with great joy. Brothers and sisters have not seen each other for many years, and we are so happy now to meet each other again! If we know from the very beginning as human beings and keep living like this forever, then this earth will have thousands of years of peace. If we ignore the value of purity and lightness, and just follow the pursuit of sentimental love, what will we obtain after this love? We will only accumulate intransigence and passion, anger and hatred, and we will be unable to evolve further. How can the soul evolve if it is imprisoned and controlled by the external circumstances? One must abandon with determination all rivalry and intransigence in the inner consciousness. One must practice meditation with patience and humility, and direct one’s mind toward serenity in order to elevate oneself further in a positive manner. Only through patience and humility will we attain compassion. If we don’t practice patience and humility, how can we grow our compassion?
The Bible without words lies readily within each of us on this earth, but we refuse to exploit it. The Almighty Lord has given us the ability to see, to listen, to understand, and to express ourselves in a clear manner. All this results from the purity and lightness of the Almighty Lord Who has bestowed upon us His blessings. However, today, we don’t possess even the slightest amount of purity and lightness. We are still governed by intransigence and rivalry, and blame this person or that person. Eventually, we only create hardship for ourselves, and we are unable to progress further on the spiritual path.
There are many kinds of governments on this earth. A government ruled by hatred and revenge will lead nowhere. A government ruled by freedom can achieve a partial progress on the material plane, but on the spiritual plane, the soul must accept many challenges before being able to reach higher spheres. To get to the rim of the well from the bottom up requires a lot of efforts. To start from the foot of the mountain to climb to its top requires a lot of strength and energy. To ascend to the sphere of lightness and serenity, we must apply diligence and perseverance. If we don’t persevere in our spiritual training to reach the goal, we will easily plunge downward as soon as we reach a higher level. Why don’t we help ourselves as human beings? Why don’t we develop ourselves to enjoy the lively divine image within ourselves? Why don’t we practice to focus the energy of our brains? Otherwise, we will only waste a lifetime, because we possess a mind and body without developing them. Those who know how to develop their mind and body are true spiritual adepts. They are always calm and filled with wisdom. They have achieved this state with great efforts and a diligent practice, not by just utilizing theory and argumentation. Many people give out various reasons to hide their sins, but in reality, they don’t know how to develop themselves. Those who can express great words without being able to realize them are only hiding their sins. But their sins remain, and they will not make any progress.
As spiritual adepts, we must practice with sincerity and serve others with full devotion. We must realize what we say; we must practice first before telling about our achievements. We don’t speak without practicing. A true spiritual adept will simplify his life and become wiser each day. On the other hand, a spiritual adept who wants to increase his possessions and create more and more debts will only increase his karma. How can he advance in this situation? One must be determined to ascend toward the higher spheres in order to evolve further. We clearly see that this world is illusory. We clearly see the law of karmic retribution. Those who plant good seeds will harvest goodness; those who plant evil seeds will harvest evil. Everyone has seen this law during his life. But many follow the old tradition, and wait until after death to be put on an altar, instead of helping themselves while they are alive. They refuse to help themselves through spiritual perfection while they are alive, and depend on people to burn incenses for them after death. Doing so will only weaken their souls more each day, and prevents them from evolving further. We must practice and perfect ourselves in order to progress on the spiritual path instead of waiting for others to pray and venerate us. To devote oneself to self-perfection and progress on the spiritual path is the most important task.
The Lord has given us a complex body, a nervous system and brains with a subtle infrastructure according to the divine image. If we are serene, we will see everything. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and there is no boundary. Profane people like to generate division and differences. They invent horoscopes and physiognomy which only cause further differences. They are unable to develop their consciousness of harmony. If the Buddha believed in his horoscope, he would never stay in the jungle to meditate. He was a prince, and his horoscope predicted fame and honors, why would he abandon everything to seek spiritual perfection? He discarded all future predictions to devote solely to the spiritual training in order to elevate his soul. What is making progress? His soul is making progress. When the bright aura of energy develops, the soul is making progress. One must practice in a righteous manner and receive the pure energy of Heaven and Earth as the basis of life. Finally, one will reach full enlightenment from the internal organs till the brains. Only then will a human be able to live within joy and harmony, in full relaxation. How can one attain joy and harmony if the body and mind are restless? Only when the mind and body are well balanced, will one reach joy and harmony. Those with a restless mind and body will worry about all kinds of things, but after the noise and chaos, everything returns to normal. There is no need to worry. This world is illusory, all earthly things will return to emptiness. There is no need to compare external matters and generate agitation within oneself.
We understand the value of a spiritual opportunity. If we practice in a righteous manner, we will meet a good spiritual opportunity. On the other hand, if we practice half-heartedly, without sincerity, we will never encounter a spiritual opportunity, and we only cause suffering to our mind and body. Many people who have just practiced little, want to become a Master. They try to teach different ways, but eventually, they are unable to cure their own incurable disease. How can they claim to be able to salve others? There are many similar stories on this earth. These people are bound to failure, but they keep jumping into it. It is like Hell that does not have any door, but everyone wants to seek the entrance to Hell. Rivalry and fighting will lead to Hell, but they keep fighting and end up in hell. Those who achieve detachment will go to Heaven, but no one wants to truly achieve detachment to ascend to Heaven. Therefore, people must encounter suffering, suffering, suffering, three times suffering in order to awaken their consciousness, and be willing to detach from earthly matters in order to ascend higher. The force of attraction of the earthly world is very intense and powerful. The material world will always bring us suffering, constant suffering and constant rivalries, but people happily fight against each other to obtain the transient happiness of material goods. We have seen numerous governments during our lifetime. We have seen that no ruler has ever attained happiness after death. All of them had to suffer and they knew no happiness, because their soul was not liberated. How can they help their own people? If a ruler has not liberated his soul, he will only bring suffering to his people, because he still fears death and yearns for a long life. He still wants to possess more and fears losses. They keep doing the same thing from one life to the other, and remain entangled in this vicious cycle. Those who want more possessions and fear losses are still greedy. They are not yet detached of earthly matters, and will have difficulty to advance spiritually. To refuse the spiritual opportunity given by Heaven and Earth is to commit a sin to oneself.
Today, we are reunited at this place. Brothers and sisters are extremely happy. One day is as full as a year! We live within joy, and our meditation hours are filled with peace and happiness. We look at the wonderful natural scenery built by heaven and earth. It follows the divine law of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth. The water is flowing and generating a lot of beneficial energy for this earth. Today, we have the good opportunity to observe closely this natural wonder that is flowing incessantly to illuminate the consciousness of everyone. Heaven and Earth have already established an unlimited potential of strength and courage on this earth. If we want to return to the Heavenly Land, we must work continuously and constantly increase our serenity, wisdom and inner balance to reach the goal. We have the good opportunity to meet a benevolent dharma to purify our energy and release our impurities in order to progress spiritually. The higher we evolve, the greater serenity we will achieve! When we practice the silent invocation of the mantra Nam Mo A Di Da Phat with sincerity and perseverance, the vibrations of the mantra will develop our great spiritual mind. As brothers and sisters, we all start from the mantra Nam Mo A Di Da Phat. We practice the mantra regularly and continuously to fully harmonize and transcend with the vibrations. Only then will our consciousness reach true peace and happiness. We will be willing to direct our mind toward serenity for spiritual perfection. We will understand that peace and happiness are the true values on this earth.
As spiritual adepts, we must return to spontaneity and naturalness. If we interrupt the natural and spontaneous progression, we will never understand the original principle of spiritual perfection. The pure energy of Heaven and Earth is natural and spontaneous. When we breathe the pure energy to build our innate spiritual foundation, we are following the right path of evolution and will never encounter procrastination. Every night, we choose the Hour of the Rat when both heaven and earth open up to practice meditation. We are following the opening direction of Heaven and Earth because our body is the result of a harmonious cooperation between Heaven and Earth. We must utilize the opening push of Heaven and Earth to develop our own consciousness to correctly follow the path of spiritual progression to return to the Heavenly Land. Those who are going against the heavenly direction will only create diseases for themselves. To follow Heaven means survival, to go against Heaven means destruction. The soul will undergo destruction and cannot be salved.
To practice spiritual perfection means to attain unity. A true spiritual adept must be able to unite the energy of his soul, the astral body, and the twelve visceral entities. A true spiritual adept must be able to unite all these energies in order to become the master of his microcosm. Our microcosm is strong and wealthy, and we live within naturalness and spontaneity without depending on anyone. Spontaneity and naturalness are fully sufficient. From birth until death, the soul should progress in a natural manner within serenity. We should practice with joy and sincerity. We must be sincere in all matters. We should neither fear nor oppress anyone. Those with a wicked spirit only commit sins for themselves. They must accept the consequences since they are cheating themselves. If they know how to salve themselves, they will become happy. To practice a method of self-liberation means to encounter joy. To practice a method of self-delusion means to encounter sorrow, and the soul will have no place to stay in the future. The soul must be tortured until its limit in order to reach spiritual awakening. Many ladies utilize the beauty granted by the Lord to control and oppress their husbands and children. This is wrong. Those who do not know or understand the beauty of Heaven and Earth, but believe themselves to be beautiful are wrong. The external appearance is temporary. Eventually, there is only suffering; the soul will only encounter suffering and sorrow when it is unable to evolve further. The celestial mechanism has clearly demonstrated different catastrophes: earthquakes, storms, and dangerous wild fires. If we direct our mind downward, we will just die from our worries. If we direct our mind upward, we will have a path of progression and will no longer suffer. We see that the natural law is educating human beings to awaken their consciousness and turn toward spirituality. Those who devote to perfect their character and enlighten their mind will be able to appreciate the pure energy of Heaven and Earth, and overcome the chaos generated by the celestial transformations. Every day and night, the Vo-Vi practitioner breathes in the pure energy of Heaven and Earth to sustain his life. He will progress toward infinity, and remain calm in view of the scenes of trials and hardship used by the Divine Love to educate human beings. When we accept to evolve further, we no longer hold on to sorrow. We will only practice within joy in order to advance. Everywhere, we see that the Almighty Lord is lovingly granting us the sublime purity for our common enjoyment. Thus, we should not remain sorrowful and procrastinate. We must advance with determination. We must follow the right dharma and advance toward infinity. To seek the help of the Immortals is wrong. It is true that the Immortals constantly help this earth. When suffering is unbearable, the Immortals must descend on earth to help humanity, but humans must awaken their consciousness in order to advance toward their innate sublime purity and return to their true position. If they refuse to practice self-perfection and attain spiritual awakening, how can they return to their position of naturalness and spontaneity? When one has reached spontaneity and naturalness, one will no longer be subject to the trials and challenges caused by the celestial transformations. One will joyfully harmonize with all spheres to advance and evolve further. We will know in advance all actions of Heaven and Earth that are guiding our souls, and we will always keep a serene heart, and accept the transformations for a better progression. The celestial mechanism is intended to educate humans, not to kill them. If the celestial mechanism is sending out warnings, but we refuse to devote to spiritual perfection, we do not take the preventive measures. If we refuse to perfect ourselves, and to progress with the pure energy of Heaven and Earth, how can we improve ourselves to attain purity and lightness to advance toward infinity? We must harmonize with the pure energy of Heaven and Earth in order to truly appreciate the abundant joy flowing in our consciousness. We will advance with courage on the spiritual path, and we will no longer become aimless. Birth must be accompanied by death. After death, there must be re-birth, and the cycle of reincarnations never stops on this earth. However, we already have a method to return to the Heavenly Land. If we devote to spiritual perfection day and night, with an unfailing determination, we will certainly have the opportunity to be reunited in the future at a wonderful place.
Therefore, spiritual adepts who live in the woods or in the mountains, do not have any television or radio. They have nothing to watch that can irritate them. If they direct their mind toward purity and lightness to cultivate themselves spiritually, they will attain good results. Here, we have all the material means and direct our mind more toward agitation than serenity. Thus, we suffer more than the spiritual adepts who live in the mountains, far from the current modern technology.
The structure of our human body is based on serenity. Eventually, one must achieve serenity in order to unify the energy of the whole body. Therefore, everyone likes to hear about serenity. Everyone likes to attain the sublime purity, because it already exists within. Now we are using the Practical Method of Vo-Vi Esoteric Science and Buddhist Dharma; we have a complete spiritual method to develop our serenity, restore order, and return to spontaneity and naturalness to achieve true progression on the spiritual path.
Anywhere on this earth, if you are aware of Heaven, Earth, and the Tao, you will attain happiness. With Heaven, Earth, and the Tao, you have everything. You can use your mind to create fire, to invent all kinds of things, but without discipline, how can you create inventions to ameliorate your life? To develop our true self to return to serenity, we must abandon all agitation, passion, and delusion. We must eradicate our ego in order to progress further. We will not advance if we still hold on our ego and self-pride. Those who hold on their ego only degrade their soul and cannot elevate higher. The soul is imprisoned in the body; in addition, the mind and character are in conflict and create an additional burden which slows down the spiritual progression even further. We must practice full detachment to open up our consciousness. We must learn compassion and practice compassion in order to advance spiritually. Those spiritual adepts who do not return to naturalness and spontaneity only waste their life. All those who die and go to Hell are crying bitterly because of sadness. They knew about spiritual perfection, but ignored it. They refused to practice and created too many entanglements. Now, they have to live in sorrow, suffering, anger, and frustration, unable to advance further.
Today is a happy day for all of us. Brothers and sisters are meditating together. We develop our innate spiritual consciousness to serve and guide all living creatures in the future. We all advance on the same path to learn from the wisdom of heaven and earth, and to relay this wisdom to all others. They will be able to understand their own consciousness, and practice the Vo-Vi method of purification in a righteous manner to release the Karma of their heart, and evolve further spiritually.
Dear friends, I sincerely thank you for your presence today.
