what ARE THE FIVE PRECEPTSOur Wisdom-Eye at the moment is crowded with some obstructions made by our own ignorance and previous deeds of unvirtuous actions. To clean it we need the hand of someone who knows. We need a great power from God which we all have within us, if only we could open the 'tap' and then it would run out. It is like a water tank full of water, but with the tap obstructed. So if you wish, I can repair the tap for you, free of charge and free of conditions except that you should purify yourself, lead a virtuous life, and keep a virtuous diet. From today on you must vow to never take flesh again, never take any lives, never tell a lie, never steal, etc. It is exactly the same as the Ten Commandments of the Bible, or the five Buddhist lay precepts which say: Don't kill, don't tell lies, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't drink alcohol, gamble or take drugs.
..... Q. It is mentioned on the initiation sheet to never use spiritual power to cure another's illnesses. Could you comment on that? I live in a community where so many people do healing with their hands, and other types of healing.
M. You see, if you want to be a healer, then do healing. If you want to know the whole, including healing, then you must leave it for a while until you know the whole. Then you can heal. Heal without healing. People will just see you and get healed. You don't need to do any kind of mudra, or mess up their magnetic field. If you are successful in healing one person today, can you guarantee that he will not get sick tomorrow? You understand? It is not complete. And also, when a person gets healed by a spiritual healer, he believes in that spiritual healer, instead of believing in his own healing power within himself. That is dangerous for both, for the healer and the patient. The patient believes in the healer and the healer gets more ego. So the best way to heal a person is to become Christ. Heal without healing. Heal without knowing.
..... Q. What do you mean by psychic healing being an obstacle to one's progress? If someone uses his hands to heal naturally with a method called Reiki, is this acceptable?
M. If you want to be fully enlightened, you must not interfere with other people's karma. Because by doing this, you will lose your spiritual force, and remain in the physical side.
..... Q. Is it necessary to meditate two and half hours every day? Why?
M. We have to meditate two and a half hours because it is necessary to cleanse our soul, our infected areas, with a lot of elixir. Now, if you are dirty from a day's work, and you come home, you need two gallons of water, no less. Every day we mix in the world, and are infected by others, affected by everyone around us, and by our own unavoidable misdeeds. For example, when we breathe we kill a lot of invisible beings, when we eat vegetables, we kill vegetable lives. So the two and a half hours are like two gallons of water to wash our souls. If you wash with one and a half gallons, it is also okay, but you are not completely clean. Then tomorrow you will add again some more dirt, and you only clean with one gallon. Thus every day you are not completely clean, and you may smell one day. (laughter)
..... Q. Regarding the five requirements you must follow in order to be initiated. What would happen if you do not follow them?
M. Then you don't. What else can I do! Try again, okay? If you think that it is good for you, and good for others, and it is like a protective fence around our spiritual sapling, then we keep them, and don't make damage to your just grown sapling. Otherwise, no one is there to condemn you, or do anything to you, except your own conscience. So try to keep to that, and whenever you fall, stand up and try again.
..... Q. Why can't we mix other methods with the Quan Yin Method of meditation?
M. Concentrate and be one-pointed with my teachings in order to get the best result. If you meditate on my teaching and on money at the same time, or meditate on another mantra, of course you will be divided. This is very logical. I am not a dictator, I just tell you what is good for you. Whatever you want to do, you have to put all your attention on that point. People think that I am forbidding you this and that. No! Everything I tell you is just good advice, and the duty of a teacher. But of course you make your choice. If you do not follow me, it is okay. You are responsible for your actions, the success of your meditation practice, but I am responsible to tell you what is good for you. Okay? Everything I tell you is the age-old concentrated essence from practitioners who want to get away from the traps of materialism, and rise above this mind-matter controlling power, so that they can realise that there is something greater than their own body and their own machine or brain computer. So all these are like secret codes, or secret methods to speed yourself on the highway to spirituality. It is all your choice. The path of freedom is a path of responsibility, of self-responsibility. So I never impose anything, I just suggest.
