science QUESTIONS & ANSWERSQ. What do you think of the relationship between quantum mechanics and some principles of Buddhism?
M. This only confirms the Buddhist discovery about the different levels of consciousness. You can say that is energy, you can say the different planes of existence. But then the scientists have discovered only the matter. They discovered all the energy as matter, not the flexible intelligence behind the energies. Therefore, it is a little different here. People use energy as a means to sustain their lives and to make more comforts for their lives. But they do not know that behind the energies is flexible intelligence, wisdom.
..... Q. How do you explain the fact that in the 1940's scientists proved that there is no ether. What is it and how does it function?
M. It is maybe because the scientists call it by a different name. Ether is what the Chinese called "Chi". You know, it functions invisibly and you can't just use science to prove it. I disagree with that. The scientists have, how you say, invented many things, have discovered many things, but there are many things they do not know, and they could not know, and they could not discover. The simple reason is that everyone knows they use only a limited fraction of their minds, or a little part of it. We use only one fifth or one tenth of our mind and we think we know everything. Oh, impossible!
..... Q. What do you think psychiatrists should do to help people with their problems?
M. There are psychiatrists, but the problems of the mentally disturbed people are deeper, deeper than just what the surface looks like. So the psychiatrists sometimes do not have very deep insights into solving the problems, but even make them worse. Now it's not their fault, but it is the fault of the system of the whole society. We should make everybody become enlightened, and then everything they do will be in perfect order. Because they would do it with wisdom, with the inner knowing, not with the limited brain guessing and false data. The help that psychiatrists offer is not really from their own knowing, it's affected by others' thinking, by other psychiatrists and by other doctors, by other things. And then at a later date, they prove that their method is wrong, and it is too late to correct it. Most of the time it is like that, so don't ask me what they should do. I think they should all practice the Quan Yin Method, get enlightened, and then go back to their jobs and do a better job, be a better scientist, and help many more patients in a better way.
..... Q. If you see that your father only believes in the physical things such as science and traditional western medicine, what are you to do? Do you do nothing when you see that he thinks that all yogis are ignorant? He thinks that if a yogi is great, he must prove it by doing a miracle such as flying or disappearing. What do I do about this?
M. You know what you do about this? Keep silent and practice. There is nothing we can do about it. But we can, by our own practicing power and vibration, influence our family members. They will become automatically receptive to the higher power in time, by and by they will. In Formosa there are many people who become initiated even though their family members objected fiercely. But after they patiently and lovingly practiced for a period of time, their families felt the change, and felt the benefit. They also became initiated, those who before objected not only to their daughter or son, but objected to their Master. And they even came and threatened me with all kinds of ways, and obstructed my mission in all kinds of ways. But later the whole family came and got initiated. I don't need to fly or disappear in order to convert them. I use the love power which is invisible, which is natural. I don't even use it, even. It is there. It flows every twenty-four hours, and then they get it somehow. And then they got it, and then they appreciated it, and they became devotees in a natural way, in time. So that's what we have to do. We have to prove to ourselves that we are worthy. We don't need to debate so much. The more we talk the more we lose. Just wait until the moment comes, and then just say one or two words, it may be enough. But we must become a light bearer. We must become an example of love, patience, and wisdom. Then others will sense it, and they will come naturally. Like a flower. It doesn't speak, it attracts bees by its own fragrance and honey. Now, as for thinking of flying and disappearing, you may even see me doing it. As a matter of fact, you may see it often. But I will not do it just to convert your father. After he is converted by his own wisdom and free will, he might see it. I'm not doing that to convert him. It's contradictory to my policy and to God's order. Understand that? A master may not show any miraculous power to prove how great he is. The more he proves this, the smaller he is. The sun doesn't need to prove anything, it just shines. Those who have eyes will see. With the blind one, you don't need to argue. No? He is blind, you don't need to argue with him. But he also will feel the sun shine on his face, and be benefited by it. Flying, doesn't need this physical body. The master can be anywhere any time. Flying in the sky, flying on the lotus, flying in heaven, flying to hell, flying around the world, any time anywhere, he/she can do this. This is a childish trick, and the most elementary instrument that the master may use, in order to be anywhere to rescue and help his disciples in need, or those who have affinity with him or her. There is nothing to demonstrate and to talk about. This is all small action. And disappearing, you may even see it now, but because your eyes are so obstructed, you only see my physical body, and you see nothing else. If you really have the wisdom eye, you might not even see me talking. You'd only see light here. The whole room is light, nothing else, no person. Even all of the audience will disappear in this light. So this is the real disappearing. And if you see some of my photos, you don't see me, you only see light there. People photograph me, but they don't see the master, only a big light. The person disappears, and many of my photos are like that. It is a kind of disappearing, no need to prove any more. The cameras can prove it. And sometimes on the stage there is no master, that is the disappearing. Because in reality there is no master, no one, no sentient beings, no existence, only light and vibration, love and togetherness. Now is that alright? Everybody loves to fly and not practice. if you practice with me, after a while I promise you can see me flying and disappearing with no difficulty. If you don't practice, I won't do it. Not for you to look at. We are not in a circus.
