THE WAY OUT OF ONE’S LIFE NIGHTMARES

KuanYin-q30

by following the spiritual path with unwavering faith, endurance and wisdom to understand fully the reality of life, to conquer all difficulties and towards greater realisation and reaping richer experiences out of life!

Namo Chun Ti P'usa

So much to fear, so much confusion, so much doubts and so much pains that accompany each life, there the chances of rising above such sufferings are indeed slim. But there must be hope. The very fact that one has come across spiritual paths in life means that one of such paths must be followed and if one really puts his heart and soul to walk the chosen path, there is every possibility of removing such sufferings that abound, and faith and endurance together with wisdom will lead one out of the nightmares of life.

And the day will arrive when sufferings may be cut off entirely, if not in this lifetime, certainly in the coming ones, depending on one’s own cultivation. With a stout heart and a strong mind, all sufferings can be vanquished in a single lifetime and it should be for a purpose, to be able to see and understand fully the reality of life and having conquered one’s very own difficulties, resolve to go forth to give aid to other suffering beings who are in need of help because of their own ignorance. If such people are not saved, then they will move deeper and deeper into the quicksand and even the thin thread of hope for salvation may be broken.

Those who are now on the path of giving help to others, be true to your cause, be true to yourself, be true to your belief and you will be truly walking the path of loving kindness. If they work in such an unselfish manner, they are my true disciples and such useless thought of being recognised in any manner will dissolve into thin air. But if the mind is still not pure and there is this hope of some rewards for actions rendered, then the name of Kuan Yin should not pass their lips. Then they are impure of mind, untrue of hearts and will in their intentions of giving assistance to others. And they would have wasted their opportunity of this life time for they will surely be given greater and more difficult hindrances which may prove to be too much for them to overcome. How much is wasted, to be given a life such as this, with the capacity to think for others, to feel for others and then to be able to do some bits for others’ benefit and yet not taking up the task which you have been seeking in the past.

Let there be emptiness in your mind, guard against the temptations of life for the tendency to acquire is strong be it power, either spiritual or material; wealth or fame. If there exist the urge to gain, be aware of such desires lest you lose all by some partial gains. If you accept Chun Ti to be your Lord, if you seek Chun Ti’s guidance, you have much to work for and the benefit will go to others while you have none. But this no-gain is what your aim should be, so that others may receive more and so that such temptations of gain will trouble you no more, thereby creating unattachment to worldly existence. In this manner, you will always be a happy and contented person with whatever you have, and envy, greed and ill-will towards others will be stamped out. The path towards greater realisation will be wide open to you and as you live and live for the sole purpose of looking into others’ benefit and derive much happiness out of it, you will gain the richer experiences out of life. And you will not be confined to a limited heart and mind, for you will become Universal in your outlook towards life so that race and religion will no longer be barriers to your all-encompassing love for mercy and compassion cannot be limited in nature, then you are ready to accept all as brothers and sisters, as father and mother, as one with you, for you have recognised that the Buddha natures of all living beings are not different from one another. In this state of being, true compassion will emerge and purity of heart and mind is achieved for you have melt and merged with Me. And you are no longer different from Me for our natures are not dissimilar in any way. In that you will understand why some have credited Me with the Form of a Thousand-Hands-and-Thousand-Eyes and they have given Me a new expression and a new name. If you accept Chun Ti to be Kuan Yin, you are not far from the truth, for all forms are mine as long as compassion flows through them to all beings in all directions of the universe. If you could feel for all beings with great sincerity and without any discriminations, then you too have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes to extend help to a thousand directions, to be able to see the situations of life in a thousand ways at any instant and to be able to recognise truth much easier.

Chun Ti form has been told to you to be your Master since many years back and now you have been told the significance of it. But do not let this be a preference to you. Accept all forms that are mine as long as the true spirit is there, as long as each form brings forth the quality of loving kindness and mercy to all those who choose to accept such forms. For you there must be no choice, no preference, for such manner of thinking should be abolished as you have understood why forms arise out of the formless.

You will just hold the spirit of Kuan Yin nature in your heart and see in others that they are Me too for they too have the same nature such as yours and Mine. Be above religions. Do not let such diversion have a place in your heart. All religions are good if the followers are true to their teachings without any deviations. But just to know the teachings would not be sufficient, all must live the ways as they have been instructed so that they can experience the beauty of each religion. If you should meet others of faiths not familiar to you, do not believe that they have chosen the wrong Path. Indeed they have not, with great patience and wisdom, observe their actions of thoughts, words and behaviours. And even if they have not acted righteously, it will not be because their religions are wrong but that they may not have been true to their faiths. The Buddha revealed that there are eighty-four thousand Dharma doors, which means more than many. This is not unlike what Jesus has revealed when He said that "His father’s house has many doors", and so it is the same with all great teachings. The paths to purity are countless and as each path will lead one to extinguish earthly existence of sufferings, therefore the paths to liberation are also countless.

Understanding what I have given you in messages are of no use unless you understand them and then practice them as guiding principles of living. Look at others with love and understanding, give help to all who need in any manner you can, do not judge others, understand their beings, cultivate patience and humility and ensure that all your thoughts, words and deeds are beneficial to others!
