Happiness comes along when we realise that no matter how hard the situations and environments we have to face, without a stir in our heart. In fact we should invite all difficult obstacles to come along as we are prepared to face and dissolved them based on the assistance of the teachings of our great Lord Buddha

Last night, my fb friend asked me whether I had gone to the temple to pray to Ganesha because it was his birthday. I told him that I have Ganesha in my heart always and have been celebrating with him everyday. He was shocked to hear that. I told him that if you have all the good qualities of Ganesha, you will have him present in your heart. If you have only the negative qualities in you, Ganesha
will not be there. He further asked why so many people went to the temple to pray. I told him most of them wanted somethings from Him and therefore we went there. And this festival is created so that the commercial people and the 'holy priests' and the temple will get more money from the people. Then he agreed with me and said that the temple and committee members were printing a lot of money today.
Please always have a divine in you and celebrating with It everyday. As for the buddhists, have Buddha in your heart and celebrate with Him everyday.

Our difficulty is we don’t see things as they really are. Dharma helps us to understand how to see things as they actually are. When we do this, it stops our negative mind, negative projections, and negative emotions. Then our life becomes simpler and more peaceful, and it also gives us a great opportunity to take more responsibility, with more compassion, and we can handle problems in a much more positive way. Problems then don’t become real problems. We become more accepting and understanding of what is happening around us, whether it concerns business or relatives. There is no separation; there are not two worlds, of business and private life.

Two of my Tai Chi students who watched the black spot for training, found that tears started to flow. This shows that physically the eyes' muscles are strengthened,and the solidified paste stuck in the space around the eyes started to melt

elps them to cleanse their defilements and past mistakes made. Some students saw the golden ring at the circumference of the black spot and some can even move the golden dish up and down.
According to my master, he could move the golden spot right up to the sky after many years of practice. He told me that he used this golden spot to heal patient sickness like using a laser beam.
According my experience, this method helps me to calm my mind down and I also find I lost my usual hot temperament. I could finish reading a thick book within three days with full understanding. Formly I need to spend at least two months or more months to finish reading a book. My understanding of buddha's teachings is better and better. This method has sharpened my mind and my span of concentration can last longer. I seem to able to read another people's mind much more easily now.

The young girl that you saw on my post observing at the black spot is very smart. She came to learn from me less than two months. She already has a good habit of taking down notes of my teachings and drawing pictures to make sure that her postures in Tai chi and meditation are correct.

n, so that we can keep our mind clear and nothing is there to bother us in our sleep. Then when we wake up the morning, our mind is flesh and free from cabbage so that we can sit down to do our practice. When we are not sure of certain skills, we can refer from our notes.
Many people keep on loading all sorts of teachings and knowlege will have difficulty to do meditation because their minds are full of thoughts and things. Their minds don't have enough space to realise the teachings. It becomes so confused and not clear when they want to focus on certain practices. Some of my friends used to tell me that they have bad memory.
