Whenever I see Guan Yin Bodhisattva, I feel a deep sense of inadequacy because I always feel that I haven’t done enough and that I’m far from reaching Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s level. It’s often said, “If you perform the actions of a Bodhisattva for even one minute, in that minute you are a Bodhisattva.” But […]
A scattered mind inevitably develops a sighing mindset. The more scattered a person’s thoughts, the harder it becomes for them to achieve anything meaningful or find satisfaction. For example, imagine someone visiting a clothing store, trying on outfit after outfit, saying, “Should I buy this? No, no, maybe that one instead,” and finally sighing, “None […]
In practising Buddhism, we are essentially learning how to regulate and harmonise our qi (energy flow). The goal is to enhance good qi, making it even better, and turn bad qi into good qi—this is the essence of regulating qi. When your body, mind, and qi are fully balanced and stable, you reach the state […]
Universal guiding and awakening of all beings is the essence of compassion. A person who achieves this possesses the wisdom of a Buddha. This wisdom is reflected not only in saving oneself but also in saving others—it is the embodiment of the Buddha’s wisdom and spirit within them. However, achieving universal guiding and awakening requires […]
Today, I will provide a detailed explanation of the Bodhisattva Realm, going through it line by line. A Bodhisattva is someone engaged in profound meditative practice. Upon reaching an advanced state, the Bodhisattva attains stable and deep concentration in meditation, surpassing the level of a First Ground Bodhisattva. True meditative concentration is not an ordinary […]
When I help others, I feel that I am gaining something, not giving something away. People usually think, “I’m helping you, I bought you food—that’s me being good to you, that’s me giving.” These days, people tend to expect something in return, and that’s a matter of mindset. When your mindset is limited in this […]
Today, I’m going to talk about “awareness and experience.” I’ve mentioned this before, but only briefly; I didn’t go into much depth. Awareness and experience is about awakening to the truth—becoming aware of and understanding the true nature of things. When you read Buddhist scriptures, that’s the theory. Everyone recites Buddhist scriptures every day—this is […]
Today, I’d like to talk to you about the power of the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance. Why is reciting this text so effective? Some people have asked me why I haven’t taught certain parts of the Ten Small Mantras. Can you guess why? It’s because Guan Yin Bodhisattva hasn’t instructed me to, and I wouldn’t […]
Cultivating the mind and practising Buddhism is no easy task. How do we cultivate our minds? How do we correct our behaviour? Cultivating the mind means correcting the flaws within our hearts, and practising involves correcting our actions. Many of us have poor behaviour, and many of our thoughts are impure. So, how do we […]
Why should we endure hardship in our spiritual practice? Because it elevates your state of mind, allowing it to reach higher levels. You often talk about improving your spiritual state, but how exactly do we achieve that? And what do we mean by “spiritual state”? It’s something intangible, something you can’t see or touch. For […]
Today, I’m going to discuss spiritual practice—specifically, practising in hardship and practising in joy. Do you find cultivating your mind challenging? Does it bring you joy? What exactly do we mean by practising in hardship? And what does it mean to practise in joy? When I set strict expectations, it might seem tough at first, […]
I am now teaching everyone several methods to let go and forget. The first method involves engaging in spiritual practice. Engage in spiritual practice to help you forget and let go of entanglements and worldly troubles. What I am discussing here are real-life issues that require immediate solutions. The second method is repentance, which includes […]
I will now talk about the thoughts before and after settling into concentration. Thoughts before settling into concentration arise when we are not yet calm; for example, when something happens, we might feel anxious, sad, or have many thoughts and associations, and the thoughts that emerge at this time are immature and likely to lead […]
Many people ask, “Master, what does visualisation mean?” Visualisation involves thinking while using your eyes to see. As you know, “to observe” means using your eyes to see, and “to think” means using your mind. So, “visualisation” means constantly observing and constantly thinking. What should you think about? It’s not about thinking of yourself, how […]
Next, let me explain the importance of pursuing the Buddha nature, perceiving the Buddha nature, and witnessing the Buddha nature. Buddha nature involves seeing the Buddha’s inherent nature. First, you pursue it, then you are able to see it, and finally, you witness it. Here’s a somewhat imperfect analogy: it’s like pursuing a romantic relationship. […]
On the topic of the world’s end: The apocalypse represents a major catastrophe, inevitably destined to occur. When will it happen? We don’t know, as the energy leading to such a catastrophe hasn’t fully developed yet. This suggests that many people are still acting virtuously, engaging in good deeds, cultivating their minds, reciting scriptures, and […]
