One of students for a few occasions, having nightmares with demons or devils going after him struggled in his sleep. He chanted mantras and called the name of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for help. None of them appeared to release his fears from the demonic spirits which holding to him. So he had got no other choice and called my name, " Master chow....". Immediately the demons just disappeared and le
ft him.
So I gathered some of students together and explained to them how they should chant the name of the buddha or Kwan Yin. I told them they must have them in their heart at all time as if they are your lovers. They must learn to love them completely and have them in mind at all time. Many people like to chant the name of buddha and at the same, their mind is full of wandering thoughts. How can the Buddha related to them in this manner. In fact they are singing upon the name not having the complete focus not the name of the buddha.
We must have a romance with the Buddha or God. It means we have to treat them as though they are our lovers. Our whole interest is to focus on them and think and be concerned to see that they are in our heart all the time.

As I always say enlightenment has followed us since aeons of life time like our a shadow. However the coverage of defilement, attachment and lust have blinded us totally and at all time from seeing it.

Quite a number of fb friends messaged me saying how much they had suffered. Some said they are suffering from bad health, poor business, divorce, couldn't find a job and couldn't get promoted in their job, boy and girl's love problems and so on. Are all these real suffering?
When I read all the stories of Lord Buddha's life, I found that he had gone through so many sufferings for the sake of senti

ent beings, just like Jesus Christ got himself nailed on the cross to clean all sins of all people. Lord buddha suffered severe headache and digestive problems all the time during his 49 years of teachings. He didn't mention that he suffered.
Why nowadays so many people couldn't taking hardship, only looking for Buddha and God to help them.

Any thing that you speak or write coming from your own heart is always a truth. Once you understand your true nature, you just develop it from there, the within. Reading of scriptures or sutras is to allow yourself to confirm what level of your understanding of your true nature or your wisdom, you are at. You need not have to explore more from the outer source. Everything is completely there for you to cultivate. ( 2 cents opinion)
