Class
In order to understand such a deep and incredible will – Sifu uses some examples of how our human ideas of ‘lifetime’ are limited and how it is possible to break this limitation in our awareness.
Shellfish
Sifu tells a story to help illustrate what we call ‘life’ is only from our human, ego point of view.
He tells a story about a 100kg lobster. And if you consider they believe it takes 2 years to grow 1 kg – then it could be 200 years old.
Studies on shellfish show they have a special kind of DNA. Their DNA, divides to multiply just like ours. But when they do it, no information is lost. Each cell has the same potential information of the one before.
Humans do not have this system. When our DNA splits to divide, some information is lost. We can observe this through something we know well – aging.
So if they do not get eaten by another life form, and don’t damage themselves, they can live forever. Life for a lobster like that is very different from our idea of life.
The Nile Lung Fish
Sifu tells a story about parts of Africa where they found a type of fish that could ‘hibernate’ for 6 months – 4 years in mud-flats. See this link.
The villagers cut bricks from the mud flats to dry and build their houses with. But the fish were hibernate in them. When it rained the fish then jumped out of the walls, flipping around on the ground!
They go into a kind of deep meditation / suspended animation to survive.
So what is life for a fish like this? If the conditions to survive are not right, then they sleep until the water comes back again next season and then make babies to make their species live on.
Limitations
Whatever we think, or whenever we think life ‘should be this way’ or ‘should be that way’ – is called Blind Habit.
In this habit, living eternally, unlimited life ability is hard to imagine. But reality, even in the Earth, a low-level creature already has this ability. It is trying to tell us, life is not how we think. Possibility to break that limitation is always there.
That create there is two types of humans.
One lives in fear, unaware of life truly, always living in ‘have to be this way’ or ‘that way.’ They are afraid to break that limitation.
And because they are afraid to break this limitation then that is the cause of where their suffering come from. Fear, worry, stress come from this. When you afraid about life then already you can’t change your view to see the unlimited, amazing side of life.
If you want to see life in grounded, don’t change, limited way – then life for you will become that way.
And according to the way Buddha explain: ‘Life is whatever you discover, the way you see life.’
Basically we don’t see the complete view of life. We see a limited view and think that is life. So, Caveman live in a cave. Now new human society we see live in houses as life. Who knows what future will be?
Everything has a form in life is a type of wave.
Radio-waves pass through our body but we can’t sense them such high frequency.
Dogs can hear sound our ears can’t catch.
Fish in the ocean use their scales to change colour we can’t even see with regular eyes to communicate with group of fish to swim together to survive.
Sometimes I can change my wave so my body in meditation is see-through like.
Everything is unlimited, everything is possible.
This is the logic: Because wave is the essence and wave already create unlimited appearances, that means living eternal, unlimited life is possible. You just have to have power to make that wave change remain never break in eternal way.
<This is connected to Amitabha Will 32: You will develop a Na Roh Yen Body: Unbreakable, Unthinkable, Incredible.
Unbreakable:
Is the way your energy body is built by energy. Which will never possible to break. You cut it and it can join back together. Eternity of course appear.
Unthinkable:
Thinking is too slow. The wave that can build something so perfect run so fast. So even play tennis, ping-pong, thinking is already too slow. So don’t even have to mention about something that moves faster than light-speed. To move faster than light-speed you have to develop Intuition Power. That is what we are training. Chi Gong, Tai Chi, Waterman, Airman play around to develop intuition.
If you don’t develop intuition, just develop thinking power, they call that ‘Mental Game Style Buddhism.’
Incredible:
You can’t believe it because it is not possible. The only way for it to appear is for yourself to develop that ability and make it appear. It exists nowhere. That is why we are going there to Amitabha’s Pure Land, to borrow Buddha and Bodhisattva’s power to experience life in this way and then to develop this power as our own ability. Finally
First stage receive Buddha and Bodhisattva power – Amitabha Pure Land Meditation.
Practice:
This power we’re going to listen to practice meditation:
Recording – > 27:44mn recording start meditation.
Close your eyes, or half-lidded so your vision has no single focus. Whatever is relaxing for you and you won’t get distracted much. Relax your shoulders and keep laser line. Breath in through the nose, expanding all your joints, organs, limbs, fill your blood with fresh oxygen and then relax to blow it out your mouth with a sign. Stress should leave your physical and mental so each breath you get more chilled but not more sleepy. Set breathing and relax into it, not forceful concentrated breathing… that takes up too much of your concentration.
Recording:
Imagine you don’t even feel your body. Everything you can see is beautiful, joyful light and you feel free and no tension. Feel warm, all kinds of amazing good feelings, all the positive, all the freedom, all the lucky feeling, all the kindness feeling, all the mysterious excitement feeling towards unlimited wisdom is all open with all these lights and beautifully changing and blinking around.
Suddenly the light start changing around and build up a form and meanwhile that light become a lotus and open. And then more light surround and fly to you. What you are is just lights, you don’t even have a body. And then more lights join your lights and they start twisting around and create a body.
Then those lights are created from generosity from Bodhisattvas. Because their lights shine from connection to Eternal wisdom. So each light come to you is an information, you receive unlimited uncountable wisdom information. You start to realise you aware of many things you never knew, you start to understand how sky eyes work, suddenly make you eye consciousness see 360 degree like a round ball, but not in one point, from many, many point, million point, your eyes consciousness suddenly from every angle to see many things.
You start to realise wow life is that free, so the joy is multiplied and multiplied. And then the lights when they are shared to you, multiply and divide more, make all your other sky abilities appear and you can hear 1 million different beautiful music in different ways and then even from own creation make all these beautiful music join together to create a new one and so that incredible feeling just get bigger and freer.
And then finally when your body all built, your sky abilities have also already graduated. When you open your eyes, you have already graduated bodhisattva abilities. But because this ability they built and share for you, so you are learning. And you learn enough, finally that Na Roh Yen body they share for you will become your own and grow. Then it can become steady from your own.
And then you become new bodhisattva there. welcome the new ones coming and then finally become you mediation there sending whatever you have developed wisdom, compassion energy send to them, make lotus opening and welcome new consciousness coming which is pure, with perfect intention share all the wisdom and unlimited joy you have sending energy to them.
Isn’t a life like that, with unlimited joy the most incredible system? And that is the life of Amitabha Pure Land system.
Now you can open your eyes.
