That’s why I make business: to take care of my monks, and for whatever expenses I have. At the moment, my expenses are very little because I eat once a day. Or now and then maybe a couple of drinks of (vegan) soup or something simple. But mostly it’s just like that. Once a day, you feel full already, good enough. And if in the evening you feel a little hungry, you just drink some water, or warm water or cold water – depends on the climate, or depends on your liking – and then you’re OK. It’s just fleeting; you feel maybe hungry for just a few seconds, and then you’re busy, you do something else – you go do meditation, you go prostrate to God, Buddhas, and Masters to thank Them. Then you feel nothing of hunger anymore – it’s just illusion, really.
If I were permitted to go without food, I would do it immediately; that would be even better. It’s less troublesome, less burdensome. You’re more free. I felt so free when I was a breatharian. I walked like on air. But I worked all the time in the temple. I did the same things like when I was eating. So, the Abbot of the temple, bless his soul, was worried about me. He said, “You don’t eat at all. Why are You still working? Are You OK?” I said, “I’m OK. I’m never better.”
It’s just, I’m not allowed to do that anymore, because I need to have more affinity with this side of society – the food and related industries. But not the (animal-people) meat industry! Meat, fish, eggs, milk, related, etc., are a no-no! Buddha said that even; don’t say it’s me who is dictative or anything. The Buddha said, “Whoever eats meat is not my disciple.”
He said that in the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra – you go look. And He praised any persons who don’t use down feathers; who don’t use fur; who don’t use leather boots, even; who don’t use milk; who don’t take anything from any animal-people. And that person is free; liberated by the Blessing of the words of the Buddha; he/she will be.
“Bodhisattvas and pure monks walking on country paths will not even tread on living grasses, much less uproot them. How then can it be compassionate to gorge on other beings’ blood and flesh? Monks who will not wear silks from the East, whether coarse or fine; who will not wear shoes or boots of leather, nor furs, nor birds’ down from our own country; and who will not consume milk, curds, or ghee, have truly freed themselves from the world. When they have paid their debts from previous lives, they will roam no longer through the three realms. Why? To wear parts of a being’s body is to involve one’s karma with that being, just as people have become bound to this earth by eating vegetables and grains. I can affirm that a person who neither eats the flesh of other beings nor wears any part of the bodies of other beings, nor even thinks of eating or wearing these things, is a person who will gain liberation. What I have said is what Buddhas teach. Mara, the Evil One, teaches otherwise.” ~ The Śūraṅgama Sūtra
But even if you do that – you forsake all that is mentioned by the Buddha and become a true pure vegan and even eat one meal a day – if your heart is not truly anchored in the Buddha’s teaching, then you are nothing and you will be also possessed by demons. And then boasting around, showing off, letting people think that you are something of a big deal, you are a Saint or something. No, no. It’s not it, it’s not it, please. All the Buddhas, all the Heavens, Gods, know your heart. So, take care that your heart is pure. No matter what you do outside for showy, colorful, whatever things you do to make people notice you and praise you, you are just creating the deepest, heaviest possible karma in the whole Universe.
And if you make people think you’re a Buddha for doing all that, then… Oh, God. Oh, please, God help you. Please, hell spare you. That’s all I can say. You think you live alone in this world and nobody knows you – what your deep ambition is, what your secret plan to delude people is? Oh, God knows! All the Buddhas know, all the Masters, the Bodhisattvas know, and YOU know. That’s important.
One time a very clean official was being bribed by somebody, and he refused it. So, the briber said, “Well, why are you worried? I won’t say anything, and it’s in the dark of the night. Nobody knows it.” So, he said to the briber, “You know it. I know it. How can you say nobody knows?” You see that?
The real pure person has to know him/herself. It’s in your heart. You can’t play theater in this world. You can’t make yourself be attentive-looking by doing or wearing anything or saying anything, or sweetly smiling in any way, just to mislead people into believing in you, worshiping you for your own ego, for your own benefit in any way that you want. That is very bad for you. I’m warning all of you, don’t do anything like that. Just practice quietly. You know you have it, and that’s important. Always remember God and all the Saints and Sages and thank Them to no end. Anytime you remember, you give a few seconds, a minute, to thank Them, to be grateful for whatever you can achieve in this world and moreover in the spiritual domain. That’s all you have to do.
If you don’t want to help me to save the world, then I don’t force you either. But if you do something, a little bit of things like going out and giving people flyers or bringing some vegan meal to somebody, that is nothing much. Don’t boast about it. Even outside people who are not my so-called disciples, they go out to help different organizations voluntarily, using their own money – their own sweat and tears – to help; and their own donations also, or their time, their precious time. And nobody praises them or anything. They are not even on TV. Many unsung heroes are doing outstanding work. They are helping a lot, not just voluntarily but in everyday life. Even just to take care of their families, it’s a hard job already. And dealing with colleagues and with the boss in the workplace just to survive, that’s a hard job already.
So, if you, my so-called believers, go out and do some little thing or help with Supreme Master TV in some way, do not think it’s a big deal. Well, I know most of you do not. I’m just saying in case. Because you practice meditation; you have your inner vision of Heavens and Earth, and you know so much about karma, about the consequences of bad deeds. If you truly practice, you know that already, so you wouldn’t do any silly things.
I’m just saying that in case any of you, who are still at a low level, are falling into this kind of trap. Those who already fell, already are taken away by zealous demons and ghosts, I know all of them. But I can’t do much about it. It’s their choice. And even though I feel sorry for them, maybe that’s what they want. If the karma leads them that way, and they stay with this kind, then it’s their choice. There’s not much I can do about it. I’m just crying for them, worrying about them and their horrible afterlife. But I can’t do much.
Even God lets all humans have free will. Who am I to stop anybody? Also, I don’t have enough time. And I can’t even go from door to door to tell them, “Oh, you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t do that. It’s bad karma for you. Hell is waiting for you.” I can’t do that. So you take care of yourself. Whoever still believes in me, please take care of yourself. Be humble, be grateful, be diligent in your practice, and be good to others whenever you can, if you can.
Ever since you’ve followed me and received initiation from me, I’ve never asked you to do anything. You get together and do things yourselves. And even if you don’t help me to do Supreme Master TV work, I also say nothing. I never scold you for not doing that. At least you are vegan; at least you do meditation, on and off; at least you don’t harm anyone – I am grateful already. Thanks to God. So don’t worry. Do what you can. Just don’t boast about it. Don’t be too proud about it. You will lose your merit if you are too proud, because that’s the ego that thinks, “I’m doing this, I’m doing that.” Get away from the ego. Then all sins or karma will leave you also.
May you all be blessed abundantly. May God open the Merciful store and grant you more strength, more wisdom, and more compassion to continue the short life that we are having on this planet. And it could be suddenly cut off even. You know that. So be a treasurer of your precious time, of your great fortune of encountering a good method to practice, like the Quan Yin Method. Nothing else should matter at all.
Alright. Thank You, God. Thank You all the Masters, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Saints, Sages and all the noble, good beings who do God’s Will to help others on this planet, all beings on this planet – sentient or non-sentient. I’m all in forever debt to God Almighty. And I thank you, all of you. May you all be blessed. May you all be loved, feel it and practice it. Amen.
