JAN 11


Lord Buddha had said it very clearly that all sentient beings have a Buddha Nature or true nature.What we need to do is to be silent in stillness. However due to the rapid pace in our society, most of us are chasing after materistic gains for our self survival that our mind is also galloping very fast like a horse. To halt this horse of ours needs training. We have to put in right effort, right view, right concentration and right persistence in order to achieve this. Of course it is much easier if we can find an enlightened friend or master to work it out such situation with us. Otherwise we will be floating and following the sea of suffering rising up and down in the events of the crisis of the world.











The Truth itself exists in this world all the time. Lord Buddha didn't invent or make up the truth. He discovered and found out the truth. He explained to us that we can also can be like him to attain his level to find the truth if we can follow his path that he had walked through. 
We need not crack our head to look for the truth. What we need is to understand his Four Noble Truth and practice his Noble Eightfold path. Realing what we see or experience all the time is an illusion we living in and we have developed an distorted world ourselves, we will be quite near knowing the truth. ( 2 cents opinion )









I met a group of old friends over a lunch. They were talking about a lot of changes will happen in near future after 21/12/2012 and the shift of pole of the earth had happened and more energy to coming to the world to uplift human spiritual level and so on. They said the upper source had informed some masters who will propagate such good news to us.
Next they talked about a friend in KL who had retired very early and had given up HIS PR of Singapore in order to move back to Malaysia after withdrawing his CPF.( And he is in bad shape,can hardly find a job. )They further talked his ignorance of his early retirement and his chasing and hopping for more New Age master to uplift his spiritual progress.
It was a horrible lunch for me to listen to all these. These three men supposed to be very rich and so called ' spiritual ' just kept talking about the ignorance of his good friend and none of them came up with a solution to help their friends. I felt sad for the whole day and even today.







I looked at my Kwan Yin at home and she looked so sad. I was wondering why? I went into deep thought. I began to realise that so many Buddhas, and saints and sages came from other religions had taught so many lessons which were recorded in all source of materials are not able to ascend human beings to a higher spiritual level. 
Why? Buddha was mentioning that there would be another one thousand Buddhas coming to this world. I am sure the other world religions could have told their people than more of their enlightened gurus or saints are coming in near future to help them.
I just got a message from my student from oversea saying most people in this world are in their dreams and even you, master, you are are also in the dream, still sleeping. I fully agree with her. I am also in my own dream all the time. Now I understand why Kwan Yin was so sad looking at me. ( 2 cents opinion )
