Search for Truth
	CHAPTER 14
	(Back To Main Page)
	This Old Monk begins in a light talk. A talk that
	seems like a drunken talk. People say I am drunk but
	my mind is not drunk. My speech looks simple but
	in deep realization, it consists of a better value
	than a mere drunken talk. If you want to be drunk
	and yet possess pure mind, then you must begin your
	journey back Home to this Land. In attaining, one
	gets a mind that realizes. Realize what? Let the Fiery
	Eyes tell you so.
	For the Heavenly Gate that this old Fiery Eyes guards
	to be able to come within sight, one must be weightless.
	In order to be weightless, one must first realize the
	Truth and the Way that lead you to this Gate. Here, no
	mercy may be sought. One must return to his true-self
	in order to come in. How to overcome problems? The Old
	Monk knows the best. Hee Hee! Ha Ha! Hee Hee! He passes
	his day and with each laughter someone will gain. Old
	Monk Che Fatt realizes the Truth of Life. Can you take
	your turn and tell them why you sometimes grant and
	sometimes do not?
	In a laughter, some will gain for they realize what
	the laughter means. This plane is full of suffering
	beings and to tell them to cry, they will cry louder
	without knowing why. Laughing even at their own sorrows,
	they will pick up their way again. For no man wishes to
	let others see them in a sorrowful state. A laughter is
	like your daily medicine. Laugh in loudness and one will
	release all the built up air. Many come to me with good
	words and they seek to gain. They promise wine and liquor
	if they succeed, but this Old Monk does not even give
	this liquor a thought. For those who are fated they will
	get what they wish for. So the best way is to allow things
	to go their natural course. When a river has to merge with
	the sea, nothing can stop it. Although one cannot stop
	the merging of the river and the sea, are they actually
	merging in its natural form? Old Fiery Eyes may
	realize this but the worldly beings know not.
	I look dirty but who can judge? Dirty or clean is only
	for the eye, but in actuality, the inner self is the
	same. What then is dirty and what then is clean?
	Only by the bodily form one is branded. But this is
	the impermanent body that will return to the world
	as ashes. Purity does not depend strictly on cleanliness.
	Just as the outward appearance of Che Fatt seems
	unbearable, but the inner one, no one can compare
	in terms of purity. Judge things not by the surface
	but by their inner look. The Merciful One, what do
	you think of it?
	Mercy shown, just as the Fiery Eyes said, is from
	the heart and not on the surface. To a person who realizes,
	all worldly things are not in their actual moving state.
	The state of movement is motivated by the thought itself.
	For all things that remain in stillness, dirty or
	clean are but the same. Those who are clean may not
	get through Wu Kung stage and those who are dirty need
	not necessarily remain. Purity must be judged from within.
	Man may be deceived but not the ABOVE. Your own
	consciousness will reflect all when your time comes.
	Che Fatt will tell you as to what remain in Hell.
	Hell! Hell! Hell! what is hell? Is it a condemned
	place? Everyone believes that holy people will not be
	there. It consists of people who have truly wronged and
	it also consists of people who have assisted others to
	some extent. You will find restless souls, murderous souls,
	souls of monks and ministers receiving the rightful
	condemnation. You may not see it and thus you will not
	believe. Imagine hell as your present prison where
	convicts are punished according to misdeeds. Is this hell
	in the human world?
	Ha! Ha!
	Why do people who promote religious teaching end
	in such a place? The Old Monk can tell you the other
	side. These are the people who have received initiation,
	training and learned religious chantings to help people.
	However, having fallen back to this lustful world,
	they performed their duties with greed. When things are
	to be fully made, yet they are capable of leaving a
	job undone. So, they receive their rightful effects.
	Fiery Eyes sees good people for He guards the Gate.
	Perhaps, He can tell you what type of people enter
	this Gate.
	Ha! Ha! Ha!
	Some people go through with mere sincerity. They may
	not know of the teachings in full nor even realize what
	they should. However, in the performance of rites, sincerity
	lies deeply within. They chant and pray with perfect
	sincerity and as such it touches the ABOVE. With the power
	from the heart, they pay deep respect and even though it
	may stop momentary sufferings, yet they are still required
	to cultivate. Some are based on good deeds done in
	perfection, not for fame nor for people to see, but
	merely for charity sake. Their mind knows not of what
	the hands are doing. For such compassionate hearts, who
	can refuse entrance to such beings? Yet they too must still
	cultivate. There are many different stages, but now I will
	not talk too much on them yet. Old Monk! Set the boat ready
	and let them a4 sail across, this 'sea'.
	Ha! Ha!
	The boat is ready
	The passengers we wait
	Look left and right
	None of quality we see
	Seeking one of pureness
	Rowing the boat, lighter it will be
