While on the Path

 

 

The Unfathomable Ancient Master


By initiate-to-be Li, Tianjin, Mainland China

  Prior to encountering Master's teachings, I had been practicing an esoteric form of meditation for over ten years, and always meditated diligently until midnight each day. Several years back, a colleague gave me a copy of The Key of Immediate Enlightenment sample booklet, but I did not even bother to turn the pages. I was complacent, thinking that I was a senior spiritual practitioner who had good experiences. I had supernatural powers and could heal people. Even though I could not cure every patient I met, I could at least cure nine out of ten, and give a lecture for hours without being repetitious. When I meditated, all I had to do was place my left foot over my right foot, and my soul would be projected out of my body. Therefore, I didn't believe in "immediate enlightenment".

   Last fall, my colleague again gave me one of Master's books. He said, "Try to read it! This "Immediate Enlightenment" book is really good!" Not wanting to embarrass my friend and also out of curiosity, I brought the book home to find out what this "Immediate Enlightenment" was all about. I browsed through the first few pages, but found no clues. Fortunately, I was patient enough to explore further; this time, what I found was incredible!

   This was not an ordinary book; it was a holy scripture whose true meaning was beyond words. I had studied many scriptures and practiced an esoteric method for many years, but had never realized until then what the real scripture and real esoteric method were. Included on every page of Master's book were not ordinary words but divine experiences. I put the book under my pillow, and the effect was amazing. I experienced a fantastic force that I had never felt in my ten years of esoteric practice. It was absolutely effortless for me to adhere to the vegetarian diet required to follow Master's practice. Without realizing it, I totally forgot the taste of fish and meat, and even lost my appetite for them. The only difficult thing was quitting my decades-old addiction to smoking. I told myself, "Maybe I should pray for Master's help." The response was immediate -- I quit smoking.

   Even though I had such wonderful experiences, I still wanted to test Master's power. So I used an esoteric method to receive Master's energy, and the result was incredible. I had never experienced such Light and Power before. For many years, I had visited many spiritual places and great practitioners, but rarely had anyone been able to convince me to follow them. Only this "Ancient Master" and Her method of Immediate Enlightenment convinced me completely.

   I no longer dare to heal people with supernatural power. Even so, invisible beings that I had previously offended often come to trouble me. After reading the Ancient Master's books, I realize that this is karmic retribution, which I must endure in silence. When I cannot bear it any longer, I pray to the Ancient Master for help, and She has never failed me. Now I am waiting to be initiated by the Ancient Master, for I want to attain eternal liberation in this lifetime.

The things in this world we will enjoy if they are there. If they are not there, it makes no difference to us. That is the way of the enlightened spirit.
