The best way of accumulating merits is ……….

My master explained to me, the best way of accumulating merits is by making an effort to liberate oneself and at the same able to influence people around to work hard to be awakened.

And we must always bear in mind that the Buddha or God is within us all the times so that we can offer our merits accumulated to all the sentient beings. Giving away money and doing good deeds to help or serve the poor and needy are equally important.

Once we are enlightened we can also help to bring others along to leave this ocean of suffering.

Moderation in drinking is still safer

Message From Reader :
So, according to science, you should keep drinking red wine to keep your heart healthy, coffee to prevent skin cancer, and beer to keep your brain from degenerating. Cheers.

Master Chow’s Reply :
At present moment it shows that it is true. In future to come, the next group of scientists may disapprove it.
Moderation in drinking is still safer.

Comments :
Some people think they are spiritual since while drinking alcohol they become quite and intuition gets developed.

Not true. Spiritual person observes discipline.

If one indulges, just remember the sugars in alcohol contribute to fermentation that feeds the unhealthy gut bacteria, while the acid in coffee hinders the good bacteria.

Thank you for your advice

Swamiji! many Yoga Advises b Rishis indicate alcholic drinks disturb the subtle inner channels and is a hindrance to attaiinment. I request ur views as pure wine iss carce and alcohol content in wine also varies to almost more.

Sri M also has mentioned and other ancient Rishis also mentioned but what is Soma Banam?

This passage is meant for commoners. The scientists have done experiments to show them to consume food or drink for their health. But as for cultivators it is best to avoid alcohol, smoking or taking drugs.

Light a candle. Just focus your eyes at the light not more than 10 mins. After each break of 15 mins watch the light again. Do it all about 3 times.

It is who we are that is important

It is who we are that is important.

Facebook posting by Mary Beth Roe QVC, on 28Feb 2015

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”
Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 bill to one of you – but first, let me do this.”
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked “who still wants it”?” Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well, “he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”
Still the hands went in the air.
“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of your lives come not in what we do or who we know, but by… WHO WE ARE!”

The best cultivation to reaching a higher summit of awakefulness

In order to heal ourself
due to hardship, pains, sickness, unhappiness
and all sorts of suffering within and without,
the best healing medicine will be our loving kindness and compassion.

These will seal up our wounds in the heart
and present us with spring water
to wash away all our impurities in our mind and body.

It would be much better
if we can allow or share our compassion and loving kindness
to heal others and wash away their pains and suffering.

This is best way to cultivate ourselves
to reach a higher summit of awakefulness.

Even a master can not help you, if ……….

不精进修行的人,
智慧，力量，財富或加持都帮不了他。
他就像一位有船而无帆的船长。

If a person has not devotedly cultivated spiritually,
even his wisdom, power, wealth or had been initiated by a master can not help him.
He is just like a captain of a ship without a sail.

Be mindful of your thoughts from moment to moment

The five poisons : greed, anger, ignorance, doubtful and pride(ego)
are negative energies which can be transformed into wisdoms
because energies can not destroyed
but can be converted or transformed into other forms
which can be useful for us.

We are living in a dualistic world,
good and bad are to be there in us
and they are just two sides of a same coin.
The method of transforming them is so easy,
just be mindful of your thoughts from moment to moment.

nectar. Yesterday I was reading the Divine Thirumanthiram by Thirumoolar sidhththa a who has told tabout three fox , five Elephant calves and for lion cubs inside which must be overcome! Thx Swamiji.

From transforming negative energies into positive one, the person needs to be just mindful of his/her thoughts from moment to moment , very useful information.Thanks.

Wisdom is the pivot of our senses! The world to the external link is form and sensuality this has grasping and clinging to its association. desire drives the wanting but the externalities is short lived, painful, burdensome and unstable.

The sensuality and knowledge gained from the external world is only opinions, views and concepts. What moves man to build their association to race, religion, culture , nationality is the identity of self.

The lowest form of wisdom is common sense! One who understands , KNOWS the pitfall of taking this part of emotional, irrationality and insecurity.

Moving forward the wise will be steadfast on the need to see things from the FORMLESS unbinding association to race, religion, culture, nationality and from a selfish start one walks the path , enters the stream and gains consciousness from being ignorant as a untrained world link.

This can only be done by the prescribed path endorsed by our teacher the Tatagatha, knowing the arising of wisdom is from renouncing, relinquishing the wanting of desire by letting go our desire, letting go of our culture, race, religion, status, kinship and even the ego that unbundled the identity of a self.

The world in this stage of experience become clear as the reorientation of thought, correct views , the effort and energy give upright conduct and morality seamless integration, without force or supervision one abandons all taints.

The fruits of the path is verifiable , here and now within the fathom long body of our own experience. the moment we are aware of the consciousness we dispeller ignorance, with the upright conduct we gain the fundamental base of morality and the mind settles , becomes luminous and the fallacy of our past is observed.

This world , existence and association is nothing other that experience, not to be personalised or defended WE LIVE HAPPILY EVERY MOMENT IN TIME.
