Listen to audio here:

There are two types of developing spirits.

One is step by step, one is suddenly you directly go to the final.

Of course if you can stay in the final you become Bodhisattva and Buddha, complete final is Buddha. When you become Bodhisattva you have no more suffering anymore, you already have quite uncountable wisdom ability.

Wisdom ability is one part of spiritual journey.

And wisdom ability has two parts.

One part is to help you be free in all kinds of intelligence ability, not with greed, but in a good way, with kind and care.

The other is to see through life is illusion and purify your heart not get any pollution but instead remain to have a beautiful pure, open heart. That also links to the wisdom to be kind and care to support that.

So it’s not that complicated, it is always just these two directions.

This is why we have Chi Gong tournaments, because with this everyone’s level will never drop, there will be a purpose to develop more.We need a principle and a passion to burn to go higher level.

Competition have two purpose: one is no-I purpose and the other is try to learn from others and improve yourself purpose.

Do you have comparing heart? No? Then you already win the first purpose!

So to develop higher step by step is the first kind of spiritual development.

The other type of spiritual development suddenly jump to the final but you cannot stay there. The difference is the way Buddha and Boddhisatva reach and stay in the final – Buddha stay in the final unlimited completely, Bodhisattva stay in final unlimited but not completely.

For example, Bodhisattva unlimited in 1 million universes, but out of that zone not.

What does that mean? It means you are back to the essence very deep. You have already made your heart free and understand life is illusion.

But our hearts actually in every present trapped in that illusion, worry, fear from the past, possessive and then all kinds of moody, all kinds of negative feeling control you, pollution from inside and outside control you.

So in there your heart feel not free.

But sometimes your heart can directly see this is illusion it is not important your heart don’t even care about it at all.

Suddenly because you realise this is all illusion, it keeps changing anyway, you worry this, tomorrow it is something new to worry so why worry! Let them flow. Flow in, flow out, you don’t care.

Just stay in the present and have a joyful heart in the present and observing with wisdom see all the nonsense come and go and not get affected by it, or attached to it, because you do that your heart right away free back to the essence.

When you are suddenly back to the essence you directly come to the final.

Because all Buddha and Bodhisattva are directly able to stay in that stage their heart is always remain free.

So to keep your heart remain free is your true life,

To keep remain free is the true spiritual Dharma journey.

And when your heart not able to free from all this blindness, that is the moment we are doing the second second type of spiritual development.

That means you have to process oh how can I improve my good qualities, my good abilities, and how can I discipline to get higher and how can I clean out all this negative.

And these two, the positive must remain stronger than the negative. If not, no way to keep yourself in the right place to improve.

Like your bedroom, if it gets dirtier faster than you can clean it then of course it will remain dirty! But if you remain discipline to clean it whenever there is mess then of course it will stay clean and fresh.

So the key to the second type of development is to continually improve into positive, wise direction, more than your negative blind habits.

So logically if your wisdom improves faster than your blind habits then you will of course reach Bodhisattva level.

So if you don’t feel free it is because you hold many blindness and many blindness hold onto you! Observe your life and oh I fall into all these tricks, my greedy, my blind, my negative moody, etc. This is why my heart not able to be free, to remain observing zone to remain wise. You remain free from negative, free from blindness. Then you use that joyful to read Eternal Wisdom. Then your heart become joyful Eternal Wisdom.

And whenever you touch that final you right away in the final. You already in Nirvana, you are in the present no beginning, no end, aware time, space and life-form are all illusion. Your heart does not let the illusion control you anymore. Aware your heart is awakened, able to use eternal wisdom to see through all illusion and free from all of them.

This is also called Direct heart. Direct heart is a style into understanding life is illusion, back to essence in a very deep sharp way as Bodhisattva and Buddha.

Because Bodhisattva and Buddha remain aware life is illusion their heart remain free, because their heart is free they can remain pure to be pure kind and care. If their heart was not free they could not do this.

And they say we all have this power we are just lost in pollution. We do not develop our eternal force. We are lost in our I and mine, blindness like a waterfall constantly.

Truly we have power like them if we remain open heart, observing, free, wise aware life is illusion, directly being in every moment pure kind, joyful, right away we are already in nirvana zone. And when we can remain in that zone eternally we become Bodhisattva.

And when we can remain in that zone eternally in a complete unlimited way we become Buddha.
