That’s why I said all religions point to the same thing. Just that the essence can only be transmitted by a living Enlightened Master. Doctors can write a lot of books, books on medicine and treatments. Maybe what they write is similar. But if we really want to do what doctors do, like perform surgeries and such, then we should learn from a living doctor. We cannot learn blindly and haphazardly. If you don’t learn from an experienced doctor, it’d be very difficult. Understand? Even if we finally become doctors, we would still make a lot of mistakes. Performing surgery recklessly would harm many people, because we used them as test subjects. So, it’s best to learn from a living doctor. […]
If you recite “cookies,” will your stomach be full? No. Likewise. Likewise. Though we don’t recite the “Amitābha Sutra” every day, we can see lotus flowers every day, golden Light and yellow Light, white Light, etc., and hear the Music of Amitābha Land, birds singing, etc. We have seen them.

Therefore, it’s best for you to have a Teacher who can teach you a method on how to open that power – whether to open it slowly, or open it quickly. The Teacher will also help you control it, how to take your time. Just like if we eat too much in one go, we’d die of overeating. (Yes.) Therefore, you have to know how to control it. If you meditate alone, sometimes you may not understand, and that can be more dangerous. It’s not that you cannot do it. Many people meditate on their own, and get possessed as a result. But I’ve told you not everyone will get possessed. The best, safest way is to find a Teacher. […]
