I don't why I have so many masters in my life. Someone said ,"Your karma must be good and therefore you are to able to meet them."

I told them that it was not true for it was a mixture of both good and bad karma ripening.The masters who liked to teach me methods and mantras to gain super power,wealth and fame, had found me leaving them very quickly.
And only a few, about two of them taught me th
e methods of of knowing myself with mindfulness and awareness. In the beginning I found it difficult to practice this method. In fact this is the most direct method of realising the true self.
Nowdays I always advice my friends and students not to accept any master or guru until they have examined their teachings and their behaviour. An enlightened teacher with good moral ethics is very hard to come back.

Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra:- the teaching on how to liberate yourself through wisdom, the Dharma door through which one becomes a Buddha-" with a pure and faithful heart mind, this person will surely realise reality.
Speaking of faith in the mind, we all say that we have it, but these minds of ours are full of afflictions. A mind of affliction is the mind of ordinary beings. The clean pure mind had no frustration, no wondering thoughts. To percieve in an instant one's original nature is to have clean, clear belief. To percieve the nature of mind is true form pranjna; it is Tao. If you wish to percieve the nature of mind, you must have clean, clear belief in order for true form pranjna to arise.

Raja of Kalinga who was infamously cruel and heartless, reigned India. During this time of his reign, Shakyamuni was a holy man who had attained quite a high level. The raja had some argument with this holy man and decided to kill him. The raja asked of
him," Being a holy man, will you hate me for killing you?" The holy Shakyamuni said," My mind and heart are absolutely calm and clear. You can te
him," Being a holy man, will you hate me for killing you?" The holy Shakyamuni said," My mind and heart are absolutely calm and clear. You can te
ar me from limb to limb and if I have no thought of hatred, my body will become whole again." The Raja of Kalinga then cut him apart one limb at a time. The holy man made no sound nor had even the slighest feeling of hatred in his heart, rather, he was filled with compassion. The raja having finished then called out for his proof. It was as he had said. He didn't stir from his Bodhisattva mind of compassion and his body immediately became whole again and his life was restored.
