Knowing the situation of humans, seeing so much struggle in the sea of suffering on the physical plane, They come down; God sends Them down to teach us, to show us the way Home again, to show us how to use at least our connection with Heavenly Power in order to go back Home, or to go to the Buddha’s Land – wherever we wish to go. “Go back Home” also means Buddha’s Land, Heavens – when I say Heavens, I mean something above our physical level. Buddha’s Lands are also in some of these Heavens. Some of the Buddhas, Their merits are so immense, They created Their own Heavens for Their own followers, Their own disciples who followed Them when They were on Earth. And maybe there is some leftover energy from those Buddhas, and people believed in Them, so those Buddhas will also help them, or send them some of Their High Disciples from Buddha’s Land to come down to help those praying for help.
Buddha’s Land is also a Heaven. So we can say “Buddha’s Land,” or we can say “Heaven’s Land”; it’s the same. It means a blissful, happy, endless freedom, endless blessing, endless wish-fulfilling situations every second of your life. You don’t have to worry. You don’t have to work hard. You don’t have to fear war, oppression, or anything that we unfortunately experience on Earth. On Earth there is less happiness than sorrow. All of us know that. Now, in Heavens or Buddha’s Land – meaning we don’t have all this, what we have on Earth – we have only the happiest, the most blessed and the most contented heart and feeling. Whatever we want, it comes to us. Wherever we want to go, we just fly there, or in a thought, we’ll be there. It depends on what Heaven we are in. Some Heavens are in a higher dimension, then we can just think, and we can go anywhere; and we just think, then anything we want will come. Some higher Heavens, we don’t even want anything because we will be ourselves, our Buddha Nature completely revealed, and we are just the Buddha. Or you can say we are in Heaven. We become one with God, then we want nothing.
But in the human body, it’s easier to practice spiritually because of the hardship, and because we have physical body which contains miraculous power, endless power – that is why. And it is a pity that people don’t know about it. I also only knew it recently. I didn’t know it when I first became enlightened. And I did not know when I had very few disciples. Just because I have Supreme Master TV and I have to research into so many happenings in the world, then I know deeper, more profound the sufferings of humans, of animal-people. I saw it physically, mentally, and spiritually as well. So then I kept searching, searching for what else I could do for the world, what else I had. Then I kept discovering more and more the power within the human body. That’s how I could survive up to now. I imagine anyone else – being a little woman, so fragile – would have been broken into pieces a long, long time ago if I hadn’t, by God’s Grace, by Buddha’s Blessing, discovered gradually something at the time, some power at the time to deal with the situation at hand, and also to have more Blessing flowing into the world.
So truly only now do I realize what the Buddha said – that to have a human body is rare and precious, and tremendously difficult. And now I realize also what God said – that God made humans in Hiers own Image. Because God, of course, has so much Power, an unimaginable, tremendous quantity of Power that we could never imagine all. Before I rediscovered much more of the power hidden within the human body, I also did not understand much. You read everything, but you don’t always realize what it means until you truly know about it with your wisdom. It’s just because the world now has more suffering, so I kept searching, searching; I kept trying, trying this and that, and then I rediscovered what power has been given to humans – to me, at least.
That’s why I told you to take care of your body, because it is a temple of God. Now you understand what it means that the body is a temple of God. The Buddha said, “All beings are like me. How come they don’t know it?” That’s why the Buddha encouraged us, saying, “I am a Buddha already. You will be a Buddha. You have nothing lacking; you will be a Buddha also.” And Lord Jesus also said, “Whatever I do, you can do also. You can even do better.” Because Jesus perhaps realized how important it is to be given such a privilege as the human body with so much equipment – miraculous equipment.
We’re so privileged to be the children of God, meaning we are born with God’s Power. The Buddha meant we’re so privileged to be a human, because He has become Buddha, and other humans will also become Buddha. The Buddha did not say, “I am the only one Buddha. You, all of you, can never be Buddha. All of you are sinners, are bad.” The Buddha has never said that. It’s just that at that time, Buddha was probably the only One, or among a couple or a few, who had realized the Buddha Nature within Him. That’s it. Just like Lord Jesus – probably the only One at that period of time Who had realized the Kingdom of God to the full extent.
But as you know, this world is the world of these trials, tribulations, and challenging, illusional power from the fallen angels who rule the planet. Thus, when we came here, we lost our memories. We forgot our way Home. It doesn’t mean we are not connected, doesn’t mean we don’t know the way Home. It’s just that we forgot where it is. Even though it’s just right there, within us. You just need an enlightened Master, who knows the way to wake you up and show you the beginning, and you’ll keep walking till the end. There is no end, of course; it’s just a way of saying. There is no beginning. But only an enlightened Master can show you that, with the Grace of God, of course. Just because you have the precious body – within it, you have everything you need; you have the whole Universe within you; you have all the powers that you ever imagined.
The only catch is that if you do it all for yourself, and a couple of disciples or a few family members, then you will be blissfully enjoying all your life – just like many of your brothers and sisters who always write beautiful Heartlines because they experience it themselves. Because they are not the Master; they are not selected to be the One to be the sacrifice for the world. So, whatever they do, it’s always the Master helping them. And they discovered their own power within. So, they don’t have to use much, except just meditate with the right method: the Quan Yin Method, the immediate enlightenment Method, the Method that has not been written in any bible, any sutras. Because, as the Buddha said in the Surangama Sutra, there is a shortcut. We already discussed that some years ago. I can’t keep repeating it – it’s too long.
So, we are given the chance to go back Home, after we wanted to try for ourselves to see how powerful we are, independently. But then we came down to Earth, and we’ve been beaten black and blue, we’ve been punished here and there for anything or nothing, for being tempted to do wrong. And then we are so exhausted, we’re weakened and we can’t even find a way Home. Just like too much swimming in the strong current: You can’t even make it to shore. So, you need someone who has a strong swimming body, technique, or someone with a ship, with a boat to come and rescue you. That is the mission of the Master – to be your boat, to take you to the other shore.
So, God keeps sending Hiers Team, or Hiers Son to come down and help us all the time. It’s just sometimes we’re too blurred to recognize it. Just like when Lord Jesus was born, people were still waiting for the Savior. And it’s like when the Buddha was there right in front of them, they slandered Him waiting for some other Buddha to come down. And now they’re waiting for Maitreya to come down again. Suppose Maitreya comes down tomorrow, how do you recognize Him? Should He wear a monk’s robe? Then other monks will criticize Him. And how do they or anybody know that He is Maitreya Buddha? And if He is not in a monk’s robe, but in a priest’s clothing, how will you recognize Him anywhere? As He comes down, He has to do something; He has to be somebody. How do you know which one is what?
And even if you eat just one meal a day or three sesame seeds and drink three gulps of water a day, people will not think that you are the Buddha. Because many monks nowadays still do that – in many countries in Asia, at least. Or in the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas temple, Wànfó Shèngchéng, of Master Hsuan Hua in the USA, somewhere before. All of His monks and nuns must eat one meal a day only, and eat very little. Nobody went there and checked out if they are all Buddhas. They live extremely frugally and humbly. And even some monks went out, walking from this city to that city: One step, they bowed down one time; two steps, two times; three steps, three bowings – prostrating, rain or shine, on the street, not in a simple garden of the temple anywhere. And people even were passing by and laughing at them, slandering them, scolding them, teasing them, all kinds of things. But nobody went there to the Hsuan Hua Temple to find out if any of them are Buddhas.
