I was talking to my students last night," Such a simple art like Tai Chi and you all cannot master it, how can you manage to do your meditation well? Meditation will be much more difficult to master or do it well. To attain Buddhahood or sainthood will not be that easy. "
But my master used to say," Great merits and wisdom are the two wings of a bird which help us to soar high to the realm of Buddha Pure Land or the Kingdom of God."
What he meant was what we need to do is to accumulate a lot of merits by doing good deeds, a real enlightened master will come along to give you the right teachings. Good teacher is also one of the main factors for spiritual progress.
"If you got a wicked master, what sins he had committed, you also shared with it," said my master.
I got a student who suffered so much before he came to me. He told me that he had learned from a 'wrong master' for a few years ago, and finally all his wealth,properties and wife had gone. He was made a bankrupt. Right now he has to start all over again to live a much happier life.

Only keep Love and compassion in your heart, the light in it is so strong that nothing can harm you. This is the most powerful divine shield or weapon that protects you from all evil forces. Please don't doubt it. Once you are doubtful, you allow other negative forces to come into you. It also helps to prevent any form of unknown dieases to come in. You will stay, happy, healthy and peaceful.

While driving home after my Taiji practices, I find myself very cool, calm, patient and tolerant on the roads. Very alert too, watching out and patiently waiting for pedestrians to cross the road-junctions completely before I move off. Other road users are also allowed to over-take or cut into my lane and I will patiently let them do so without sounding the horn or flashing the lights; not even a tiny feeling a grudge at all.
It must be the 'meditation' done during the Taiji practice. Taiji is indeed a 'meditation with movements' and it really calms the mind, build awareness and improve patience and alertness.

If we wish liberate ourselves, we need clear and throw away all cabbage hidden inside the deep end of our heart one by one. We need know what are they. We can't pray for God or Buddha to help us to clean or clear up all the rubbish from the first day what we have learnt from our parents, school teachers, principals, lecturers and friends. Not all the things that were taught to us are right and applicable in this fast moving world. We need the inner guru who dwelled in my heart to guide us how and what to clear. Only then the true liberation which is of our own nature will surface and joy of bliss will vibrate all the cells in us.

I always like ask this question," Who is one who put the chains around me? The problems of love issue always come to me and ask me to help them. I love my boy friend but he does love me and the man will say I love this girl very much but she does love me. "My heart is very painful." said most of them.
We have so much matter that already chained us up and yet we want more chains. I wonder why?
So I explained to them that to meet and get marry to a person, they need a very strong karmic link or karmic affinity. Secondly, even if they got marry, they have to know whether they are paying back the debt to the others or the others coming here to pay debt to you. It sounds quite complicated. However it is true when we look at the high percentages of divorce rate happening in the whole world. Thirdly they must make sure that they study the person well and not make up their own story, thinking that how good he or she is. Lastly my advice is time will tell and this is much saver way to get married. ( 2 cents opinion )

The door of the heart is opened to those are sincere and faithful. The inner light is always there waiting every one of us if we are not afraid of difficulties and failures. The grace is there waiting for the prodigal one to come home right into her arms. Likewise for the buddhists, Kwan Yin is always there to welcome the lost one.
