Kindle Notes & Highlights
Our Falun Dafa requires both benti and the Immortal Infant; these two are different. The Immortal Infant is also a body made of high-energy matter, but it cannot be casually shown in this dimension of ours. In order to keep the appearance of an everyday person in this dimension over
a long period of time, we must have our benti. Therefore, upon the transformation of this benti, its molecular combinations do not change even though its cells are replaced by high-energy matter. Thus, this body will not look much different from that of an everyday person. Yet there is still a difference: Namely, this body can enter other dimensions.
a Buddha statue has a field because it has a great enlightened being’s fashen. Because the great enlightened being’s fashen is there, the statue has energy.
Consecration is actually to invite the fashen of a great enlightened being to stay on the Buddha statue. This is consecration.
Suppose a Buddha worshipper who is after money prostrates himself before a Buddha statue or a statue of Bodhisattva Guanyin or a Tathagata and says, “Please help me make some money.” Well, a complete mind will form. Since this request is made to a Buddha statue, it is instantly projected onto the Buddha statue. In another dimension, an entity can expand or contract. When this thought arrives on this entity, the Buddha statue will have a brain that can think, but it does not have a body. Other people also come to worship the Buddha statue. With this type of worship, they will gradually give it

and enable it to form a tangible body. Yet this tangible body is formed in another dimension. After it is formed, it exists in another dimension and can also learn some truths of the universe. Therefore, it can do some things for people. In this way, it can also develop some gong. But it helps people conditionally and for a price. It moves freely in another dimension and can control everyday people quite easily. This tangible body appears exactly the same as the Buddha statue. So it is human worshipping that creates a phony Bodhisattva Guanyin or a fake Tathagata, which looks just like the

When someone prays, “Buddha, please help me because someone at home is ill,” well, it will give you a hand. It will make you put money in the donation box because its mind is after money. The more money you put in the donation box, the quicker the illness will be healed. Since it has some energy, it can, from another dimension, manipulate an everyday person. It will be particularly dangerous if a person with gong goes to worship it. What does this practitioner pray for? Money. Think about it, everyone: Why should a cultivator go after money? Praying to eliminate misfortune and illnesses for

Anyway, it will arrange for you to get money. How can it help you unconditionally? No loss, no gain. It will take some of your gong as it needs it, or it will take away the dan that you have cultivated. It wants these things.
While holding the Buddha statue in hand, you can take my book (because the book has my photo) or my photo. Then you make the Big Lotus Flower Hand Sign78 and make a request to Teacher for consecration, just as though you are requesting it to me. It will be done in half a minute. Let me tell everyone that this can only be done for our cultivators.
The closer a side-path practice is to the fringes of cultivation, the more requirements it will have and the more complicated its cultivation will be, since it cannot grasp the essence of cultivation.
In fact, it is not through suffering that they have gained gong. How do they get it? It resembles the case of a regular person: One has a lot of attachments in youth, but by the time one becomes old, with the passage of time one’s future seems hopeless. Those attachments are naturally relinquished and worn out.
They find that when one relies on sitting meditation, trance, and suffering hardships to progress in cultivation, one can also increase gong. Yet they do not know that their attachments of everyday people are slowly worn out over a long and harsh period of time, and that it is through slowly giving up those attachments that gong is increased.
If qi ascends to the top of the head and cannot come down, it is only a temporary state. For some people, it may last a very long time or half a year, and it still will not come down. If that is the case, one can find a real qigong master to guide the qi down, and it can come down. In qigong practice, those of you whose qi cannot go through a pass or come down should look for reasons within your xinxing to determine if you are stuck at that level for too long and whether you should improve your xinxing! When you truly improve your xinxing, you will find that the qi will be able to come down.
If qi is indeed blocked, it still will not cause any trouble. It is usually our own psychological factors at play.
Once you are scared, it is an attachment of fear.
Practitioners will not feel physically comfortable in their future cultivation, as their bodies will develop many kinds of gong, all of which are very powerful things moving around inside their bodies; they will make you feel uncomfortable one way or another. The reason for your discomfort is principally that you always fear catching some illness.
When a tribulation comes in cultivation, if you still treat yourself as an everyday person, I would say that your xinxing at that moment has dropped to the level of everyday people. At least on this particular issue, you have dropped to the level of everyday people.
condition. It is known that what actually causes people to become ill is seventy percent psychological and thirty percent physical.
I’d say that psychosis is not an illness, and I do not have time to take care of such things, either. Why? This is because a patient with psychosis does not have any virus, and his body has neither pathological changes nor infections; it is not an illness in my view. Psychosis occurs when a person’s Main Consciousness becomes too weak.
One must truly cultivate and pay attention to one’s xinxing. Only through genuine cultivation can one’s illness be eliminated. Because qigong practice is not a physical exercise but something beyond everyday people, there must be a higher principle and standard for cultivators.
We have said that you should not cause disharmony in your family because of this issue. Therefore, at the present stage, you should care less about it. It is good to keep a normal and harmonious married life. In the future, when you reach a certain level, there will be another situation at that level.
So what kinds of demons of lust will one encounter? If your ability of ding86 is not adequate, they will appear in your dreams during sleep. While you are sleeping or sitting in meditation, one will suddenly show up.
As long as you regard yourself as a practitioner, you will remember it right away and be able to restrain yourself, and you will then be able to pass this test. If you fail the test the first time, it will be difficult to pass it the second time. Yet there is also the case where when one fails the first test, one will regret it very much upon waking from sleep. Perhaps this mentality and state of mind will reinforce your thoughts about it. When the issue again arises, you will be able to control yourself and pass the test.
Whenever there is interference of one kind or another in qigong practice, you should look for reasons within yourself and determine what you still have not let go of.
A human body has a physical field in every level’s dimension. Within a special field, everything in the universe can be reflected into your dimensional field, like a shadow. Although they are shadows, they are of material existence. Everything within the field of your dimension is dictated by the thoughts in your brain. That is, if you calmly see things with the celestial eye and without using your mind, what you observe is true. If you start to think a little, what you see will be false. This is called demonic interference from one’s own mind, or “transformation follows mind-intent.”
things. It is easiest for these people to develop demonic interference from their own minds and to drop to low levels. No matter how high one’s cultivation level is, once this problem occurs one will fall all the way to the bottom and, in the end, be ruined completely—this is an extremely serious issue.
himself. The heavenly beings are all immortals, yet they, too, have not attained Righteous Fruition and will continue to go through samsara just the same. If you casually take such a being as your master and follow him, where can he take you? He cannot even attain Righteous Fruition.
Don’t let your mind be disturbed when you see an enlightened being from another school of cultivation. Stay with only one school of cultivation. Whether it is a Buddha, a Tao, an immortal, or a demon, they should not move your heart. In conducting yourself this way, success is bound to be in sight.
The demonic interference from one’s mind also manifests in other forms. You may have seen interference from a relative who has passed away, and this person cries and begs you to do this or that.
Buddhism did not have such content. What does this mean? Since one’s real life is one’s Original Soul, the one who gives birth to your Original Soul is your real mother.
One may speak of how good one’s mother is, but then she also dies. This person grieves so much that he almost wants to follow her for the rest of his life. Why don’t you think about it? Aren’t they here to torment you? They use this form to make you unable to lead a good life.
For example, once
a person develops a bad thought, it is very dangerous. One day his celestial eye is opened, and he can see things quite clearly. He thinks, “At this exercise site, only my celestial eye is opened very well. Am I perhaps an unusual person? I was able to learn Teacher Li’s Falun Dafa and have studied it so well, better than all the others. Perhaps I’m also not an ordinary person.” This thought is already not right. He will wonder, “Maybe I’m a Buddha as well. Well, let me take a look at myself.” When he looks at himself, he will find himself indeed a Buddha. Why is this? This is because

Buddhism teaches that no matter what you see, you should ignore it, for it is all a demonic illusion, and that one should just continue cultivation advancement through meditation. Why doesn’t it allow you to see things and be attached to them? It cautions against the occurrence of this problem. In Buddhist cultivation, there isn’t any intensive cultivation method, and neither is there anything in its scriptures that can teach you how to extricate yourself from these things. Shakyamuni did not teach such Dharma at that time. In order to avoid the problem of demonic interference from one’s own

Wrongdoings committed in different lifetimes bring about tribulations to human beings, create karmic obstacles for cultivators, and lead to birth, old age, illness, and death. These are ordinary karma. There is another kind of powerful karma that greatly affects cultivators—it is called thought karma.
Every test or every tribulation is related to the matter of either progression or regression in cultivation. It is already difficult, yet still you add this self-imposed tribulation. How can you overcome it? You might come across hardships or troubles as a result of it. Your altered path of life is not allowed to be seen by others. If it is seen by others or if you are told when you will have a tribulation, how can you cultivate? Therefore, it is not permitted to be seen at all. Nobody from other schools of cultivation is allowed to see it, either. Even fellow disciples from the same school of

But if you say, “I’m just interested in studying the scriptures,” and you always study the scriptures, you will be practicing in that school of cultivation, since the scriptures have also integrated the gong and the Fa from that school of cultivation. Once you study it, you will be practicing in that school of cultivation. It involves this issue. If you study it in depth and follow that school of cultivation, you may have assumed that school of cultivation instead of ours.
Don’t those people who truly have these martial arts skills have to cultivate them through internal cultivation? They acquire them only through cultivating their xinxing, and they must have already long been disinterested in fame, material gain, and various desires. How can they kill others? How can they care that much for money and wealth? It is absolutely impossible.
A cultivator who has developed gong and reached the state of Unlocking Gong or become truly enlightened should not take himself to be someone special.
those who enlighten on the small worldly paths at the lower levels cannot attain Righteous Fruition—this is for sure.
We should not have to stop taking baths because there are insects, and neither should we have to find another place to live because there are mosquitoes. We also should not have to tie up our necks and stop eating or drinking because both grains and vegetables have life. It should not be this way. We should handle this relationship properly and cultivate in a dignified way. It will be fine as long as we do not intentionally harm any life.
Eating meat or not isn’t itself the purpose—the key is to give up that attachment.
The Buddha School does not permit drinking alcohol. Have you ever seen a Buddha carrying a jug of wine? No. I have said that one might not be able to eat meat, but after one gives up the attachment during cultivation among everyday people, it is fine for one to eat it again later. After you quit drinking alcohol, however, you should not drink it again.
It harms your body and is a desire as well. That is completely contrary to the requirements for our cultivators.
