Recognize Our Own God Nature
Irvine University, CA, USA. June2, 1998.
Page 4Q. Master, five of my children are already initiatedinto the Quan Yin Method, but I'm quite old. Is enlightenmentfor everyone? What requirements are needed, or is sincerity thesole criterion?
M.Yes, sincerity is enough. But when people are too old, like pasta certain age, sometimes the physical body and the memory arenot so sharp anymore. Then we might tell them to come back againnext time, next life. Or just to practice the Convenient Methodalso can help her or him, no need for full initiation. But thatis a guarantee only for one person, and initiation guaranteesfor many generations. That's the difference. By initiation andpracticing yourself, you can also become an enlightened masterand help many, many souls, too.
Q. Master, why does Christianity as a whole tendnot to believe in reincarnation? Does the Bible talk about reincarnation?
M.It does, but it has been censored. When someone asked Jesus whetherHe was Elias, whether He was so and so, the past Master beforeHim -- that meant whether He was the reincarnation of those pastmasters -- He kept quiet. That was a part of the Bible that peopleforgot to censor. Suppose reincarnation did not exist, then Jesuswould have said, "No, no, there is no such thing as a mastercoming back. I am me, alone, one time, never again, never before,never after." He kept quiet, and in those times, quiet meansokay, agreement, acceptance. Otherwise, Jesus would have explained,so as not to mislead His disciples. He kept quiet.
Q. Dear Master, explain that if one person gets initiated,five of their generations would be saved. How about living familymembers who eat meat and drink alcohol, will they also be saved?
M.They will also be saved, sadly but fortunately. (Master and alllaugh) That is, if they deliberately do not want liberation, thenthe master will not force it upon them, of course, because eachone is God. You must remember, each one of us is God. No one cantell God what to do, even another God. How bad he is, how goodhe is, that's his own decision, his own path in life to choose.He chose to play this role. He is okay, even if he is bad. That'swhy the Bible says to us Judge not.
Q. Before we become an enlightened master, we vowto do this and do that for human beings, and we vow to serve them,but say, after we've become an enlightened master, we change ourmind for some reason, because now we have a different outlook.Are we free not to fulfill our vow or must we fulfill our vowsdue to the law of karma?
M.We're free. We are free to do what we want.
Q. Greetings Supreme Master Ching Hai. Please giveYour view of Earth as a great sentient being whose love assistsus in our ascension.
M.Everything is made from God. The Bible says so. Everything springsfrom the "Word," means the vibration of the universe,and that vibration is God. That is the Quan Yin Method. That'swhat we teach you to tune in to, the vibration of the universe,of the source of all creation. So, even if we are human, are fromGod, then also is the great Earth or everything in the universe.It also has Godlike qualities, but probably in a different formand a different density. So, in that case, the Earth is also agreat being as you have mentioned. We live here, we live fromthe Earth, of course, we have to respect this great Mother.
Pay Karma In The Dream Q. Do we pay karma in our dreams? How do we pay karma?
M.We pay karma in our dreams only if that is the grace of God. Otherwise,most of the time, we have to pay physically, like an eye foran eye, a tooth for a tooth. When initiated, or enlightened,then we live by the grace of God. We don't live so much by thelaw of karma anymore, except for some already fixed karma, likewe have to have some certain karma in order to exist in this life.That karma we have to continue with. But then, it can be erasedto a certain extent, it can be lubricated, it can be lesseneda lot of degrees, or it can be paid in dreams, only at that time.
Q. Master, what happens if a person gets initiatedbut ends up not being able to meditate the required two and half-hours.
M.Then he probably stays in the class for a while. (Laughter) Justlike you students, what happens if you enroll in a certain classand you don't study well? Then, you stay there. (Master and alllaugh) Instead of an 'A', you have a 'J'. That's what it is. Butyou are still nevertheless a college student -- you're not primaryschool or you're not kindergarten kids, anyhow. At least, youare a college students, that's no doubt, but just to a lesserdegree.
Q. I would like to know more about the person Youreceived the Quan Yin from. Is he a reincarnation of Jesus, orare You? Does he or she have a name You can share with us?
M.Yes, I've told you in one of the tapes a long time ago. His nameis Master Khuda Ji. He's gone back to God. Jesus never reincarnates,nor any of the other masters. Reincarnation is only for us --themortals, the karma-laden people. So you can say Jesus has reincarnatedor you can say Jesus has not. It's not Jesus who reincarnates;it's the Christ power that keeps coming, descending to differentpersons through God's will to help humankind. So you can say "yes,"you can say "no."
Q. How do Your teachings relate to religion in general?Do Your teachings enhance our belief in our own religion?
M.Yes, they do. You know already. I make you understand your religionbetter, deeper; and if you're enlightened yourself, you becomethe religion, you become the Truth. You could write another Bible,but you don't have to; one Bible is enough. You just verify it,you just understand it That's good already.
Q. Could You tell us about our dreams?
M.Dreams are of many kinds, sometimes bad, sometimes good. Sometimesdreams come true, sometimes dreams are just fragments of the dailycollection of different information, so it's all a mixed salad.Sometimes dreams are a kind of foretelling of the future or reviewingthe past. or some of your deepest desires or your wishes That'sa clairvoyant dream that is a kind of vision. Many of the QuanYin practitioners or the people who meditate have this kind ofrelated dream, like a vision. They dream, but they are very vivid,in all colors, all light, splendor and very bright. It's not adream anymore; it's a vision. They go to heaven and all that.When you meditate and you go to heaven, it's almost like a dream,except you wake up so excited, so electrified, so energized, sofull of life and love that you don't know what to do with yourself.You want to hug everyone and kiss them. But don't do that, (Laughter)people will think you're coco, coo coo.
Q. Do animals and plants have their God?
M.We have only one God. (Laughter) Same. One father for everyone.Jesus said so, Look at the lilies of the field, how the Fathertakes care of them. [Mtt 6:28] So it must be the same God.(Laughter) You read the Bible, but you ask me so many questions.Everything is in the Bible already, no?
Q. How do I disconnect from past life experiencesonce and for all?
M.Past life experiences? I've told you, initiation. At the timeof initiation, the stored karma, the Master erases, so you don'thave past karma anymore. But you're welcome to pick up some ifyou want. (Master laughs) If you want to come back to this life,you're welcome.
Q. Can You please clarify what You mean when Yousay we are children of God, and that we're all God. Do You meanto say that worshiping God isn't necessary since we already are?
M.No. It's necessary. We worship God even more so after we realizewho God is, what a loving being that is, and how near to us Hesis, nearer than the dearest friend in the whole world, nearerthan our own skin. At that time, you really worship God, in thetruer sense of worship. At the moment we are just dictating toGod, "Oh, please give me money, oh please give me a wife,please give me a job, please, please, please..." We don'treally know God. We are God, but yet, we are not yet God. So pleaseget to know Hirm first, and then ask me the question later. Afteryou know Hirm, you tell me.
Q. How does humanly love play a role in our enlightenment?
M.Human love? Well, it's nice to be loved whether by humans or byanimals. Every time we ire loved, doesn't matter by whom, by what,that's God who loves us. It's not human love, it's not motherlylove, it's not brotherly love; actually, it's ill God's love,divided, minimized, or modified. Everyone who loves us, that'sGod who loves us. So there is no harm; it can only help. Whensomeone loves us, when two people are in love together, are enlightenedtogether, it is very helpful, very nice.
Q. What do You think about the evolution theory?What is its problem?
M.Gosh, I'm not a scientist. You mean that we came from the monkeyand all that stuff? Master and all laugh) We all came from God.There might be some kind of link between man and animals, becausesometimes man and animals live together. Sometimes they bred witheach other some hazard, by some chance, so it might be. But humansare a very different race. We don't evolve. We are created inthe image of God. That's all there is. God made animals as well.Hes said so in the first chapter, didn't Hes? The first one, theOld Testament, page number 1, it says God created man and allthe fruits, the herbs. By the way, Hes mentions vegetarianismthere and then. Hes says, I created all the fruits and theherbs in the field that are pleasant to the eyes, and good tothe taste, they shall be your food. Hes also said, Forall the animals, I also created food for each one of them. Hesdidn't say we evolve from animals. Hes said we are the rulersof the kingdom of animals. We are the king of them. So, thereis no mixy maxy about evolution. We are human beings; animalsare also from God, but they are not human beings.
