(Why we must keep the vegetarian [vegan] diet to cultivate ourselves?) Because we all know God is Love and Mercy and Buddha is Compassion. If we do not learn to become like Them, then how shall we become one with God? How shall we live in Heaven, which is a place of Love and Mercy? We want to learn something, we have to become that. Animal-people desire life. They love life. They would run for their life. So, we know they desire life, and they love to live like us. We have no right to take away their life, by any means. Directly or indirectly, we should not.
(When confronted with evil – physical or spiritual – such as someone will harm You or destroy You...) No, no, what is that? I’m sorry. (When someone will hurt You...) Hurt me? (Yes. ...will you fight back in self-defense, or You just die?) “Or just die?” (Yes.
You must be joking. I won’t die just like that. I will run. I won’t fight back, but I will run for my life. Anybody stupid enough would lay there and die. I won’t.
Life is precious. I have a lot of things to do. Even if I don’t need my body, my disciples do. If I die like that, it is very irresponsible. Of course, we have to do our utmost to protect our life, because life is precious. Without life, we couldn’t accomplish anything. We couldn’t even come back to God without this human life. We need every minute of our human existence to come nearer to God, to realize our greatest power and our blessing power in order to help other beings who need our help. We may not need this ourselves, but we must acquire it. It is like we don’t need money so desperately. But we must have money in order to provide for our kids and our wives and other needy poor persons. Understand that?

Now, do you want to get initiation today or we leave it for another day? Until 1 o’clock in the morning. (How is tomorrow afternoon for You?) Tomorrow afternoon? (Tomorrow’s Friday.) Tomorrow’s Friday? You’re not working? I’m just afraid it’s inconvenient for you, not for myself. I have all the time in the world for you. I live in San Jose. I have no place in San Francisco. I don’t know how to meet you. We can do that also – tomorrow afternoon, also. Who is for tomorrow afternoon? Please raise your hand.
(Tonight.) Alright, that’s it. I’m considering you, not myself. Alright, then we do it tonight, and whoever cannot do it tonight, please contact us again and we may arrange it for another day. Is that alright? In San Jose; you have to go to San Jose and in a farmhouse. (I said that sounds like fun, in a farmhouse.) But we have to arrange somebody to meet you and all that. I think we do it tonight. It’s the same anyhow, and you go back a little bit late later. Only once in a lifetime. I think you can afford it.
OK. Then whoever wants to get initiation, please go out and ask for the information outside. And when you come back, we are ready for it. Is that alright? Only once in a lifetime – I think it’s not so much a problem. But tomorrow you can come to see me also. Tomorrow, after initiation, you can come to see me in the farmhouse and have fun. (Oh.) And that is the fun afterward.
Anytime you can come, and when I’m still in America. Until 31st, you can come to see me. Then ask any question. Other people can stay and listen to the answer session. Only the ones who would like initiation would go out.
(We also have the next time, will be May 27 and May 28.) Yeah. Yes, San Jose is also very near. (This Saturday and this Sunday, you are welcome and bring all your friends and relatives to understand more.) Oh, Sunday, then we can… Sunday. Is a lecture on Sunday? (The 27th is Saturday, the 28th is Sunday.) Oh, Monday is free, so we can make initiation on Monday. Yeah, it’s good. (Memorial Day is a holiday.)
Now, any more questions? (Yes. You say God is All, but You never explained who the psy-chic is. Psy-chink? Which means…) San-chit, San-chi? Sat-cit-ananda? Ah, psychic! (Psychic!) God is All, God is not psychic. Psychic is a lower level of our consciousness. Psychic body and psychic power is not God power, is not the highest power, even though it’s also very frightening, very powerful. But it’s not the whole.
Question. (Do You truly know that You have been blessed and sent by the true God to sincerely help and rescue the lost ones that are not of this Earth and Universe?) Yes. Completely. I would not tell you otherwise. I fear to go to hell if I tell a lie. I fear God’s punishment. I fear Hiers judgment. I fear the Buddha’s judgment.
(“What are demons?” The devils’ things?) Demons, yes. (OK, demons.) They are a little bit lower way of thinking, a lower way of existence, a little bit less loving. That is what’s called demons. Less light, less love: these are demons.
Anything else? Quickly, quickly! We have no time. (How does one meditate? What should be in his or her mind?) How? (“How does one meditate?” Meditation. How to do meditation?) I think you take them here. Let me…
“How does one meditate? What should be in his or her mind?” Aha. There is nothing that should be in the mind of the meditator. But actually, it’s not like that. At the initiation, I may have the time to tell you everything. It’s not to answer casually like that because you won’t get it.
Second is, “Why is there an age limit on initiation?” I already answered: because of the vegan diet, or maybe the enduring power of the body and the mind, and the understanding power is diminished a little bit after some age. But, I have told you already, if you are fit enough and willing to endure the disciplines, no problem.
Are the questioners still here, still want to listen? We have to pass the time anyhow. Right?
“How do You explain the fact that in the 1940s, scientists proved that there is no ether? All yogis refer to it. What is it and how does it function?” It is maybe that the scientists call it by different names. Ether, it is what the Chinese call, I think, “chi.”
It functions invisibly, and you can’t just use science to prove it. I disagree with that. The scientists have 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 mind, 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. Oh, this is very long, I’ll leave it out.
“When one sees white (inner Heavenly) Light during meditation, what does it mean?” It’s not bad. Seeing light means there is no darkness.
“What do You think psychiatrists do to help people with their problems?” There are some psychiatrists, but the problems of the mentally disturbed people are deeper, deeper than just what the surface looks like. And so the psychiatrist, having not so very deep insight, sometimes by solving the problem make it worse. Now, it’s not their fault, but it is the fault of the whole society system.
We should make everybody become enlightened and then everything they do would be in perfect order, because they do it with wisdom, with the inner knowing, not with the limited brain, guessing, and false data. It’s not really from their own knowing, but it’s well-fed by other’s thinking, by other psychiatrists, by other doctors, and by other things. At a later date, they prove it is wrong and it is too late to correct it. Most of the time it’s 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 job, doing a better job, being a better scientist and helping many more patients in a better way.
“If you see that your father only believes in the physical things such as science and traditional Western medicine, what are you to do? Must 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?” You know what you do about this? Keep silent and practice. There’s 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.
