When you sit in meditation… When you sit in meditation… Can you translate? Do you understand English? Is there anyone here who understands English and can translate? Speaking German has made me tired. OK. Give her the microphone. (What for?) You translate into German. (OK.) I think too long. I think in English and then translate into Chinese, and then from Chinese to German. It goes a long way! So, when you sit in meditation… (So, when we sit in mediation...) ...then you should not expect anything. (...then we shouldn’t expect anything.) Because the more you expect, the less you have. (Because the more we expect, the less will come, or will happen.) Because whatever we think or we expect, comes from the intellectual level, the mind, (Because what we think always comes from the intellect, from the mind, from reason) …and not from the spiritual region. (and not from the spiritual…) ...level. (…level, yes.) Where we have even no thinking, (There, we do not think.) everything goes on automatically. (Everything happens automatically there.) We just sit like a child watching movies, (We just sit there like a child watching a movie...) and not demanding. (Demanding?) (Demand, expect.) (...and we don’t demand, expect anything.)
We should not demand anything from God. We should not demand that God do this for me, do that for me. (We should not expect that God will do this or that for us.) According to our habitual thinking. (Just because we are used to thinking...) It’s better that we just sit and recite the Five (Holy) Names. (We should only sit and recite the Five [Holy] Names.) And whatever God gives us, it is Hiers Grace. (And whatever God gives us, is by Hiers Grace.) We should be so humble. (We should... what?) (Be humble.) (Yes, be humble.) Yeah. That’s good. You help. Together. And sometimes you ask me a question like you didn’t have the experience and that, but I sense, the demanding spirit inside yourself. And this is not very comfortable. (And it is not comfortable ...)
You should know, if you don’t see anything, then you should be more humble and more innocent. (We should be more innocent and humble.) Yes. Because God doesn’t owe us anything. (Because God doesn’t owe us anything.) Neither do I. I offer everything. Same service to everybody, and if you don’t get it, it’s your problem. (So, She [Master] offers everyone everything, and whoever does not accept it – that is their problem.)
When you expect something else, like the sky to fall down. (Or when we expect something else, for example that the sky falls down.) When we meditate or practice meditation, we should have just an attitude of sweetness and humility. (When we meditate we must somehow only have the quality of sweetness and baseness.) Not baseness! (Humility.) (Humility?) Humility, yes. Baseness is something different. But some people have to learn to have this quality. (We should learn to be humble.)
That’s why many Masters don’t travel. (That is also the reason why many Masters do not travel.) Because most of the Masters know it’s very difficult to mix with the people in the world. (Because it is very difficult with people...) Yes. If You teach them and get money, they say, “Why? Why do You want money? You’re supposed to be a Buddha.” (When One teaches them and One asks for money, then they say “Why, I mean, as a Buddha?) And when you don’t get the money, they say, “Why? You must be very cheap. Your stuff must be no good. That’s why you offer this free.” (And if you don’t ask for anything they think it is not good, because when it is free [of charge], then it doesn’t have value.)
And when the Master stays in the Himalayas and has nothing to do with the world, they say, “You’re not compassionate. You don’t have love. You don’t care for us here.” (And when you don’t travel...) No. When the Master does not travel... (Yes, when the Master does not travel, if He stays in the Himalayas, then they say that He is just not compassionate.) Or does not have love for humans, etc. And when the Master travels... When the Master comes, they have a critical look. They say, “Why? What are You coming (here for)? You must want something. What do You want?” (And when the Master does travel, then they complain/ask why He/She travels and for what purpose and what does He/She want.) “You may be low-level. That’s why You travel ... you go around.” Yeah. Yeah. (She [Master] says it may be a lower level when...) So you have no end to problems. (So, no end to problems.)
And if the Master does not say to the people, “I am the Master, I can take you Home,” then people don’t know. And they say, “Why don’t You say? You are the Buddha, and You don’t say. How do we know? We’re looking all over, and You never said You are the Buddha.” And they blame the Buddha. (If the Master does not say that He/She can take people Home, people get upset and ask why He/She didn’t say so; they are looking around and you just cannot do it...) Yes, “You do not have love, no compassion for us,” etc. And when the Master says it, they say, “Oh. Why do You call Yourself Master? What! What kind? How? How do You qualify Yourself?” etc. It’s very embarrassing. (And if the Masters still do it, then they ask “Why, who says that You are a Master?” and question everything and it is...) Yes. It is... embarrassing. (...embarrassing, right?) Yes, embarrassing maybe, yes. (Humiliating.) Yes. I got many such questions, everywhere, in the whole world. Sometimes, if we still have a little ego, that is painful. My ego hurts. (That was German just now.) Ah, German, it was German, oh well, well.
And earlier on I did not dress with such beautiful clothing. Sometimes I had no desire to get dressed, not wear too much, I only had a shawl to go swimming, and people would say “Why? Why do You dress like that?” etc. Then they say bad things. And if I want to completely dress myself like monks, a little more modest, dress more humbly, then people say... “Oh, no, no, no! Don’t go closer. She wants some money from you.” (Don’t go closer, because She surely wants money.) “She does not have money; just look at the clothes, She must want money.” And then they leave again. And later, when I am dressed quite well, they say: “Why? You are a Buddha, You are a meditating person, why do You dress that way?” Do you understand? Translate. (It was German again.) It was already German? You understood. Yes, yes, yes. So there never is contentment for the people in this world, because they are dissatisfied inside. So, you see, not everyone is content. This is a very terrible situation.
(I still have a question, namely...) Please. Yes. (When You were in the Himalayas, did You know several Masters, or did You rather only know one single Master?) Yes, several. (Several.) On different levels. (And do You get passed along, like at universities, from Master to Master?) No, no. If you are lucky, you can meet a good Master right away. And other so-called Masters – you can visit them as well, or compare a little. Go shopping. But it is not important to have multiple Masters. Only if you are not satisfied with your Master, your current Master, and He does not elevate you and you do not feel improved at all... (...when you do not progress.) ...do not progress, then you keep searching. But you have to give the Master some time... (...to prove...) Yes, to prove (Himself).
Some people do not need proof, because they know immediately that it’s their Master, and they always progress, every day. And that is why they do not need any other proof from the Master. But for those who have some difficulties, who struggle a little in their head, we need a little time to start… To be fair. (To be fair.) To be fair. And then they try for a while, six months, before they leave the Master.
But I tell you that progress does come not only with the (inner Heavenly) Light or the (inner Heavenly) Sound, but also with the change of our nature. For example, you were always very angry, always nervous, always very unhappy, and after initiation, you become more and more loving, have more sympathy, more understanding for other people. And you will also become ever more content with your life, and that is the best success. You do not always have to sit there and wait, “The (inner Heavenly) Light is not yet here, why? It has been five minutes already!”
Yes. (“Do You know everyone who comes to You for initiation in advance?”) (“Do You know each person that will come to You for initiation?”) (“Know.”) (“Know.” Recognize.) Whether I know already who will be coming? I do not want to know at all. If I know it already in advance, then I’d run away immediately, I would immediately run away – a lot of karma, and whatnot. The Master knows, but “I” do not. I “have” two people – the human one, and the other one is the Master, the Highest Master. The Highest Master will know everything. Hes will know everything. Without “I” – the ego, the personality knows nothing.
(I have a question, namely regarding children: I have children aged six and eight years old, and yesterday You said children can also be initiated into this method. Approximately how old, at what age...) Six years old. (At six years old?) Yes, yes. At six years old, they can only receive half initiation, and at twelve years old, the full initiation. But for six-year-old children only when accompanied by their parents, or someone who... (...responsible.) ...yes, who is responsible.
(And how much do we have to prepare children for it? Should the children be prepared?) The children sometimes make the decision themselves. Yes, they will ask, they will want to. (Just lead by example, right? And then they will...) Yes, simple, naturally. You set an example, and maybe the kids like it. Yes. In Taiwan (Formosa) – so many children, or in other countries where we have so many brothers and sisters, kids always wait for initiation. They wait and always ask. There is even one child, she is not quite six years old, in America, she does not speak much, maybe she cannot yet speak that much, but whenever I come, she takes the (initiation ID) card from her mother, shows it to me and says: “I want that!” And when I am not there, she always takes a photo of me and does this, before she goes to sleep and after she has woken up. That is very nice.
Children, they know everything. But there are children who also have a lot of karma, and you still have to know how your child (...reacts.) reacts. If your children want to eat vegan together with you and they are happy with your lifestyle, then they will learn so fast. And if they like it, then you can bring them here. (Yes. Thank You.) You are welcome.
