beauty parlour, hoping to change their complexion for the better, the fairer. Let me tell you that if
you genuinely do the cultivation way of the integrated cultivation of both human life and nature,
you will naturally reach this goal. I assure you that you will not have to go to a beauty parlour. We
are not going to give more examples in this aspect. Because there were relatively more senior
comrades from all trades and professions, they regarded me as a young man. Now things are getting
better, there are relatively more young people here from all walks of life. In fact, I am not young
either. I am already 43 years old and getting on towards 50.
Law Body
( )
Why is there a field over the image of Buddha? Many people cannot explain it. Also some people
say that there is a field over the image of Buddha because the monks have chanted scriptures to it,
that is to say, the monks cultivate themselves in front of it, a field was produced as a result. Whether
a monk or anybody else is cultivating himself, however, such energy is scattering and not
directional. In that case, there should be even and equal fields over the floor, the ceilings and the
walls of the whole temple's hall. Why, then, should the field over the image of Buddha be so strong?
There is often a field existing especially over an engraved image of Buddha in deep mountains or in
a certain mountain cave or on certain rocks. Why should this field have come about? Some people
interpret it this way or that way, but they can never make themselves understood. The fact is that
that field is over the image of Buddha because there is the Law body of an enlightened being over
it. Because that enlightened being's Law body is there, it has energy.
Just think about it: Wasn't either Sakyamuni or Bodhisattva Guanyin a practitioner when he or
she was cultivating if they really existed in history? When a person has reached in cultivation a
certain dimension considerably higher than Chu Shi Jian Fa ( the Beyond-Triple-World-
Law), the Law body will be born. The Law body is born in the Dan Tian of the human body, and it
is made up of the Law and the cultivation energy, which presents itself in other spaces. The Law
body has great power of its own, but its consciousness and its thinking are under the control of the
person. However, the Law body itself is a complete, independent and realistic individual life.
Therefore it can do anything independently on its own. What the Law body does is the same as what
the person's Main Consciousness wants to do, exactly the same. The way the person himself does
something is the same as the way the Law body does it. This is what we refer to as the Law body.
What I want to do, for example, putting right the bodies of my disciples who genuinely cultivate
92
themselves will all be done by my Law bodies. Because the Law body does not carry an ordinary
person's body, it performs in other spaces. This intelligent life does not remain unchanged all the
time, but can become large or small. Sometimes it grows so huge that it is impossible to see the
whole head of the Law body. Sometimes it becomes very tiny, more tiny than a cell.
Light-Opening
( )
Images of Buddha made in factories are but works of art. Light-opening means inviting a
Buddha's Law body into the image of Buddha, which, then, will be enshrined and worshipped as a
visible Buddha body among ordinary people. As the practitioner has a heart of reverence, the Law
body of the image of Buddha will guard the Law for him, look after him and protect him during his
practice. This is the real purpose of light-opening. Only the right thinking given out at a formal
light-opening ceremony, or a great enlightened one in the very high dimension or a person who is
cultivating himself in the very high dimension and has such power can perform such a task.
The temples teach that images of Buddha require light-opening and say that the images will not
make their powers felt without light-opening. Nowadays, those genuine great masters among the
monks in temples have all passed away. After the "Great Cultural Revolution", some former junior
monks who had not received any true teachings have now taken charge in temples, and much has
not been handed down from past generations. If you ask him what the purpose of light-opening is,
he will say that the image of Buddha will make its powers felt when it has light-opened. He cannot
tell the reason why it will make its powers felt. In this way he merely holds a ceremony, at which
time he puts a small Buddhist sutra into the image of Buddha, seals it with paper, and then chants
scriptures towards it. He calls this light-opening. But can this result in light-opening? That depends
upon how he is chanting the scriptures. Sakyamuni taught the right mindfulness, chanting scriptures
with full concentration in order to really be able to shake the paradise one's cultivation school
belongs to, and invite the enlightened one. Only when one of the enlightened one's Law bodies gets
into the image of Buddha can the purpose of light opening be reached.
While chanting scriptures some monks are thinking about: How much money will they pay me
after I have finished the light-opening? Or while chanting scriptures, he is turning over in his mind:
so and so is so bad to me. There is also intrigue practised even in a temple. Such a phenomenon has
to be accepted as a fact as we are now in the Period of Decline. We are not here criticizing
Buddhism. However, in the Period of Decline there is no peace and seclusion at all in some temples.
How can the enlightened one come when such things turn up in the mind of the monk, and such evil [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] - zanotowane.pl
