- Master JiGong said,
- "If one does not take in the negative airs
or energy
- It will leave by itself
- The negative airs are unhealthy
activities, evil, abnormal, off-centered, irregular…etc
- Things such as audio and visual pleasures,
goods and gain, supernatural skill
- Obscene and immoral expertise or any
external objects that can damage
- The spiritual energy and harm the mind and
nature are all termed as negative airs
- If you don’t pay attention to them
- The negative airs will subside and
withdraw themselves
- There is no way they can attack and harm
you
- If there is a ‘silky thread’ (trace) of
thought to invite them
- Then the perfectly clear and calm
Self-Nature would be damaged
- It would lose its clarity and whiteness
(purity) immediately
- Then, even if you have a great and sound
aspiration
- And a broad way before you
- It will all be shaded by the negative airs
- What a waste!
- All TAO cultivators must NOT be unaware of
this
- And must be attentive to this"
- Master JiGong further said,
- "The mind is the key to stableness of the
mind
- And stableness is the ladder to become a
Buddha
- The mind’s power is ever-flowing and does
not stand still at one place
- Hence, the comprehension of things and
affairs
- At each individual moment is different
- When the state of mind has elevated to a
certain point
- Then one can reach a certain
Heavenly-Stableness
- This is the ladder to attain perfect
universal awareness"
- Once I heard a parable
- A vegetarian monk who had attained great awareness and
stableness
- Decided to descend from the mountain to spread the Truth
- Upon reaching a village he passed by a stall selling pork bun
- As he was passing by, he could smell the steamed pork bun
- His mind told him ‘Ah! Smell good’
- Immediately his leg had nine red patches of swollen wounds
- The swollen wounds appeared like nine different human heads
- He then went into deep meditation to find out why
- He discovered that the nine heads were his previous lives
spiritual creditors
- Because of the ‘silky thread’ of thought of the pork bun
- His purity and whiteness were attacked by his spiritual
creditors
- His creditors were waiting for the opportunity to harm him
- With this parable
- TAO cultivators are made aware of this and pay attention to the
negative airs
- Even in the darkest corner.
