Search for Truth

	KUAN YIN (Goddess of Mercy)
	Keep not the worldly desire inside
	Use only the right method to find
	Among all jewels, none will shine bright
	Neither will the Light be shown to an unclear mind
	Yonder may lie the Gate of Hades
	Into this stage, one must not fall in
	Nothing is worth more than illumination from the ABOVE.
	Hades, oh Hades! Even if the Gate is closed man still
	plunges in. The Gate may be narrow yet man walks
	through it. Man moves from a suffering plane to yet
	another but why must man still fall in? Man was
	warned of the pit and told of its environment, but
	those who do not realize this will still walk on this
	dark road alone. Find the dust particles that weigh you
	down. Cleanse yourself of it in the best way and you may
	feel weightless. People may ask where hell really is.
	Since they cannot see it, they mistake it as a myth.
	Look around while you are in this human plane. Hell is
	actually all around you. Suffering in one way or another,
	the worst is self-made. Unless man finds the Path that
	returns upwards he will remain as he is. Although the Path
	may not be a ready thing, yet by seeking with diligence,
	one will find all sorts of power that man seeks for his
	own use. Do not forget that power obtained from above is
	not for permanent use. The best power that can carry man
	across the suffering land still lies within him. That is
	the 'heart power' that controls all actions of man. With
	sincerity in the Search, the heartfelt feeling is not only
	felt by man but by the ABOVE as well. When one talks of
	'heart power', it seems as if it is so unreal. The heart
	that I am talking now is not the organ within man. The heart
	that is formless is the true-self. The power created by it
	is so strong that nothing can ever break through. Such power
	is not written in books nor is it found in any other form.
	It is invisible and yet powerful enough to take control
	of all things. Dig out this formless heart and the power
	lies within.
	Much has been spoken on how to find the Path but bear
	in mind that upon finding the Path one must truly walk
	on it. Destination may have been given and the direction
	shown, yet if that remains blur to man, then what is the
	use of showing all? The compassionate love and merciful
	way are shown by the ABOVE to all beings. Do not misuse
	such compassion shown but give thanks with every action
	proven only for good. The compassion though it cannot be
	seen, will be felt strongly by one who realizes it. As
	such compassion is given equally to all, man must realize
	that all beings have the right to live. Anything that has
	life can sometimes prove to be better than man. Since man
	has the highest intelligence among all beings, he must set
	his goal right and prove to be better than others. If not,
	he is wasting his return in a human form.
	Man prays in many ways. He sets up altars that are
	magnificent to the eyes. Fresh fruits and flowers are
	offered as offerings of respect and incense burnt twenty-four
	hours a day but if all these are for show, then they will go
	into waste. What the ABOVE seeks is the sincerity of the heart.
	Even without any image of the Heavenly Beings it is not wrong
	for Buddha dwells in the heart that has His name. Think not
	of images for all are formless. Do not be too serious over
	prayer things. What is most important still lies within man.
	Remember, anything that can be seen is only an object and all
	objects are merely illusions. Truth has no form nor is it an
	object, yet it receives Universal acceptance. Therefore, not
	all visible things are in their real forms. Humans have shapes
	and forms, yet they do not project the true-self, for it is
	within and hidden in man.
	Merits and demerits are given in accordance with actions
	Seen throughout. Each pure action is like planting good
	seeds. Therefore, the harvest will be good and the more
	good seeds sown, the more good fruits one will obtain.
	Any action has a reaction. So, take care that the
	reaction is beneficial to man.
	KUAN YIN
	Keeping your eyes open
	Using it to clarify things
	Actions of goodness not to be forgotten
	Never let rotten seeds be planted again
	Yesterday is but the past
	In it, the future will take shape
	Narrowly escaped you all might have gone through
	MERCIFUL is the ABOVE in all teachings taught
	ONE help after another, do not let chances slip.
