It completes everyone, and everyone is completed. Because All Inclusive Lord, LAO MU, is inherent in each of us, we are sufficient with boundless treasure. That inherent boundless treasure is the emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU, my conscience. It has various names. We also call it "Mother of all Buddhas¨, Master of all Sutras¨, "King of all Dharmas¨, "the Prime Root of the universe" and "the Source of all substances". It is full of boundless merits, wisdom, mysterious power, marvelous Dharmas, eloquence and everything. The true meaning of it is so profound that can't be easily expressed in secular concept and literary language. People all over the world possess the same innate boundless treasure regardless of their various nationalities, races, skin colors and religious beliefs, no matter they are man or woman, intelligent or silly, pretty or ugly, poor or rich.
Since the innate boundless treasure is inherent within each of us, how can we be supercilious?
Nowadays, being ignorant of the innate boundless treasure inherent in each one, people are busy in flaunting and showing off their ability, intelligence, wealth and higher position. They only care about mortal external conditions while ignore the eternal innate boundless treasure.
Human's desire is like a bottomless pit which can never be fulfilled.
The main difference between Buddhas, Saints and human is that Buddhas and Saints contribute their innate boundless treasure to benefit people, while people are at lost. Regardless of their own innate boundless treasure, they search outward and regard external wealth and fame as their treasure.
People are fond of different things and pursue them according to their various concepts of value. Those who are fond of wealth and fame regard wealth and fame as their treasure; those who are fond of knowledge and scholarship regard knowledge and scholarship as their treasure. To Scientists, all their inventions and creations in the field of science are their real treasures. To philosophers, all their philosophy and theories are their real treasures.
It seems reasonable. However, from the viewpoint of truth, one can never find any real treasure outward. Because everything which is not inherent is mortal, they will eventually decay. Our inherent conscience, Buddha nature, is like the sea. These acquired things are like the bubbles above the waves. Wave comes from the sea but is not the sea itself. Only our innate boundless treasure, our Buddha Nature, is infinite and all inclusive.
On the other hand, those who indulge themselves in sensory enjoyments may think sex and alcohol are their treasures. A gambler may think gambling is his treasure. Everyone has various treasure in their mind. Some youths regard love as their treasure and pursue for it desperately. Once they gain it and marries with whom they love, facing the same person day after day, night after night, practical life may erode love into tiresome. Humanity is sometimes self-contradictory.
Worldly people only recognize external treasures and spend all their life time to pursue for them, something will now or later be in vain. How sad it is.
Now, as Dao cultivators, we should have an insight on ourselves. The real treasure is not outside. There is nothing external which is everlasting. Even the universe has its life and death, not to mention the numerous things in it. Therefore what shall we dispute for?
Nevertheless, human's desire is like a bottomless pit which can never be fulfilled. Even though you get what you regard as a treasure at present, your desire will not rest for a minute. You will have more and new vexations to fulfill your next desire. This is the cause of endless and helpless reincarnation. What the worse is, most people do not obtain what they want in their life time. All those efforts are just in vain.
Once we recognize our inherent all-inclusive conscience. We can have the clear insight that the only eternal priceless treasure all over the universe is inherent in ourselves, needless for any effort to search for.
Under LAO MU's Heavenly Decree, our Holy Father and Mother Teachers' true transmission has indicated that the infinite treasure of Buddha Nature is inherent within each of us.
Mother of All Buddhas is inherent in me
All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are from LAO MU. They are embodiment of LAO MU. As long as we can discern with wisdom and make a clear insight, actually the "All Inclusive Lord" who created the heaven the earth, the humanity and all the substances is inherent in each of us. It's not necessary to search for Buddha outward.
Master of All Sutras is inherent in me
Before the founders of religions were born, there were no any sutra. Numerous sutras were generated from the All Inclusive Lord inherent in the founders of religions. It is the Master of All Sutras.
Therefore, now we can also reveal infinite Heart Sutra because the Master of All Sutras inherent in each of us is exactly the same one inherent in the founders of religions.
King of All Dharmas is inherent in me
"Dharmas" includes all learning, knowledge, scholarship and theories either renouncing or coping with the world, such as science, philosophy, physics, medical and chemical science. They are all generated from the All Inclusive Lord inherent in every scientist, doctor, inventor and scholar.
The emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU, the All Inclusive Lord, inherent in each scientist, doctor, inventor and scholar is exactly the same in me. I possess the king of All Dharmas innately.
The Prime Root of the universe and the Source of all the substances is inherent in me.
The All Inclusive Lord who created the universe, humanity, all the substances is exactly the same one who is in charge of my body and my life. Therefore the Prime Root, the Source of the universe is inherent in me, the universe and all the substances are not apart from my body. Even the infinity space is in my body.
I am inclusive with boundless merits.
I am inclusive with boundless merits.
The Holy Spirit of LAO MU is inherent in me. I am inclusive with boundless merits. If we think that merits are acquired somewhere outside, we are looking down upon LAO MU. We infer that LAO MU is not great enough and doesn't have sufficient merits so that we have to acquire some merits from outside to enhance LAO MU.
In traditional Dao field, most people didn't make a clear insight on this. They did their best in cultivation and consecration. They propagated Dao in the name of LAO MU and endured much hardship to explore Dao field. All their financial, spiritual and laboring contribution were in order to earn some merits as rewards. Actually each of us, is completed with boundless merits. All our contribution in Dao cultivation and consecration and all our efforts in helping Universal Salvation through Dao propagation are merely fulfilling our conscience duty.
The purpose of Dao cultivation and consecration is to reveal our inherent boundless merits as alms to benefit all sentient beings. It manifest the omnipotence of LAO MU.
How to reveal our inherent boundless merits as alms to benefit people?
It is to bring happiness, peace, light and hope to others, and to make people positive, optimistic, enthusiastic and willing to influence more people to be like us. It is to try our best to contribute in Universal Salvation through Dao propagation without any selfish intention or egoism. Everything we do, we do it to fulfill conscience duty.
Our inherent boundless merit is as large as the space. It will never be worn out. The more we reveal it, the more we manifest the grace of LAO MU, the benevolence of Buddha Maitreya and the virtue of our Holy Teachers, and our conscience is peaceful. It is the true meaning of Dao cultivation.
I am inclusive with boundless wisdom and mercy
Wisdom and mercy cannot be acquired by training. Our all inclusive conscience is inherent within boundless wisdom and mercy from LAO MU. Owing to LAO MU's grace and Holy Teachers' virtue, by the incredible magnificent power of Heavenly Decree, we accepted the Holy Golden Touch which vibrates the universe and breaks through the ignorance we accumulated from numerous previous lives. Hereafter, all we have to do is to shield and sustain our clear conscience at any moment in our daily life and then naturally our inherent wisdom would be developed and mercy revealed.
I am inclusive with boundless marvelous conduct
Because the emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU is inherent within each of us, we are inclusive with boundless marvelous conduct. Marvelous Conduct is not certain manner or mean. It is according to various affinity, background and situation of people we meet, to apply marvelous conduct to meet their need and touch their conscience.
I am inclusive with boundless eloquence and marvelous Dharmas
Since the Master of all Sutras and the King of all Dharmas is inherent in me, I am inclusive with boundless eloquence and marvelous Dharmas. My body is just a tool. As long as I can allow the emanated Holy spirit of LAO MU to be in charge of my body, and I can submit myself to LAO MU, Buddha Maitreya, and Holy Teachers, my mouth will be used as an instrument to preach marvelous Dharmas.
Therefore we shall rely on Heaven's grace and Holy Teachers' virtue wholeheartedly, let LAO MU, Buddha Maitreya and Holy Teachers take the most advantage of my body as a tool to benefit people. We shall give up our egoism, arrogance and obstinacy.
Thus we shall not underrate ourselves. The infinite LAO MU is inherent in me. We shall not look down upon or underestimate ourselves. To us, our ability is limited; however LAO MU is almighty.
On the other hand, we shall not be arrogant. If I give the credit to my own ability, my knowledge and eloquence, it is as if I look down upon LAO MU and ignore LAO MU's grace. Without LAO MU kindly ruling my body, how can I breath? How can my heart beat? Not to mention about giving any lectures! Therefore, be sure to recognize our own "all inclusive conscience" which completes us.
I am inclusive with boundless mysterious power
Commonly people think "mysterious power" is to fly in the sky, to predict the future and to play magical tricks. From the respect of truth, this kind of "mysterious power" has nothing to do with cultivation, consecration or ridding us of helpless reincarnation.
Because these acquired mysterious power is still under the law of cause and effect, once the condition has been changed, mysterious power disappears. Nevertheless, even an unusual person who can fly in the sky with special power, he still has to land to solve some elementary problems such as eating and excreting. Thus our Holy Father Teacher said: "Dao, the ultimate truth, is in daily life." Dao is plain and simple, like the air and water in our ordinary life. By acquired mysterious power, one can never recognize Dao, the truth.
On the other hand, our karma debt can never be removed by mysterious power. Arya. Maulgalana was the one with the best mysterious power among Buddha Sakyamuni's ten chief disciples. However he was killed by his enemies of previous lives. His enemies even hit him into jam with stones. Other disciples asked Buddha Sakyamuni that: "How come a person with so excellent mysterious power would die this way?" "Mysterious power can never remove karma debt." He replied. No matter how fantastic our mysterious power would be, as soon as our enemies of previous lives come to claim for karma repay, we can do nothing. Obviously it cannot lead us to the eternity.
Besides, people used to be deluded away from practical cultivation by mysterious power. If we obstinately stick to acquired mysterious power in order to fly in the sky, to predict the future, or even to change stone into gold and get rich, at the moment we meet our enemies of previous lives we will forget everything about LAO MU, Buddha Maitreya, our Holy Teachers and our own All Inclusive Conscience. Drawn by karma debt, we will fall down to the cliff and never be able to come back again.
Therefore be sure to recognize our inherent all inclusive conscience which is inclusive with boundless mysterious power.
The significance of inherent boundless mysterious power:
LAO MU with none-egoism special virtue is in charge of everything but not autocratic. The inherent mysterious power comes from one's true self, the emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU. Because my true self is reconnected with LAO MU, my body is alive. Otherwise it will become a corpse immediately.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit of LAO MU reconnects with my eyes and enables me to see. This is the mysterious power of eyes. The Holy Spirit of LAO MU reconnects with my ears and enables me to hear. This is the mysterious power of ears. The Holy Spirit of LAO MU reconnects with my nose and mouth and enables me to smell and taste. This is the mysterious power of nose and mouth.
Nowadays, the technology is so highly developed, however no scientist can invent a way to make our brain think, or make our limbs move as we want. This kind of inherent mysterious power is the most marvelous one in the universe and we are taking advantage of it every day.
LAO MU is in charge of all the organs of my body and enable them to work. However LAO MU is not Autocratic. LAO MU enable my eye to see, but She doesn't control me what to see. LAO MU enable my ear to hear, but She doesn't control me what to hear. LAO MU allows us sufficient freedom to work our organs. This is the true meaning of non-egoism.
I shall make reflection on myself, behalf myself and act upon my conscience. I shall make reflection on myself and behalf myself in any minute. Is what I see, hear, smell, talk, do and what I think according to the emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU? If so, I am the enlightened one who is like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Or, I have allowed the three demons which are mind, intention and consciousness to be the ruler of my action? If so, I am the stray one who gets lost in the helpless reincarnation.
Therefore we should make a clear insight and let the true selves, our conscience, be the ruler of our bodies. If there is any thing which is against conscience, we absolutely refuse to see, to hear, to talk, to eat, to smell or to do, not even to think about it. This will make our bodies really reconnect with conscience, the emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU. It's the real mysterious power in the Universe.
Through the mysterious power which functions well with my body, I shall touch people's conscience and influence them. It is the status of Buddhas and Saints. When I touch people's conscience, I can see through their pain and worry with my eyes; I can hear clearly their obstinacies with my ears; I can discern that every mammal, bird and aquatic animal hold the same emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU as I do. Therefore their meat is like mine, I shall respect their right of live.
After I have touched people's conscience, what I say will move people's heart; what I do will benefit people a lot. I will have my heart co-responded with people's heart, then reveal my boundless mercy. I will preach according to various situation. I will relief people from their various burden with suitable Heart Dharma.
In short, I will arise other's emanated Holy Spirit of LAO MU with mine. This is the boundless mysterious power of my nature, my conscience. It's inherent within myself. Its great function is to benefit people, to expend Dao field, to propagate Dao in LAO MU's name, to help Buddha Maitreya complete the Universal Salvation.
LAO MU has favored me the peerless grace all over the universe.
According to Buddha Maitreya's precious Heart Dharma, Holy Teachers' True Transmission has indicated that the Holy Spirit of LAO MU is inherent in me. It is the all inclusive conscience. I am inclusive with boundless treasures as mentioned above. If I can contemplate it with heart impressed that LAO MU has already blessed me with the universal peerless and unprecedented grace, certainly I will be content and be happy.
Contentment brings endless happiness
This kind of happiness is not a way to console oneself to accept a compromise of second choice. This happiness comes from the "all inclusive conscience". It is ever lasting. This contentment has nothing to do with any verbal expression, literary words, theory or conscious. It is the boundless all inclusive treasures bestowed by LAO MU which is inherent within me.
As long as we contemplate and think deeply regarding "Contentment brings endless happiness", no matter facing what kind of hardship, insult or critical trail, we will still keep calm and easy without hatred or grievance. All those honor and disgrace, fame and defame, gain and loss are just external temporary situation. We can overcome all these difficulties because the all inclusive Holy Spirit of LAO MU is inherent within us. Comparing to the boundlessness grace from LAO MU, they are just little things as if the cloud swiftly passes the steadfast mountain.
If only we can really understand the significance of "Contentment brings endless happiness", no matter we are regarded highly or not, no matter we are put in an important position or not, we are full of joy all the time. Those worldly people, or even including some people in Dao field who chase after wealth and fame and fight for power and higher position absolutely know nothing about "Contentment brings endless happiness".
When we really realize how great Heaven's grace and Holy Teachers' virtue are that LAO MU had bestowed me the Golden Holy Touch which is peerless in the universe, which is the all inclusive conscience, this innate boundless treasure will make us content, joyful and carefree.
How to have absolute faith that all inclusive conscience, innate boundless treasure, is inherent within me?
It is necessary to recognize clearly that all inclusive conscience, innate boundless treasure, is inherent within me, and to have absolute faith on it. With this clear recognition, one can apply the marvelous function of all inclusive conscience and the heart Dharma of ''contentment brings endless happiness''. With three tenth of faith, one can have three tenth of happiness; with full of faith, one can have eternal happiness.
Due to the karma debt accumulated from previous lives we have a lot of bad habits and ignorance that hoodwink our true selves and cover our conscience. We are lacking of faith and we will have very limited recognition on ''Contentment brings endless happiness.'' So that our mind will be easily changed by various external situations and then we ignore our innate true selves.
Through sincere cultivation and consecration, we clean our faults, demerits and sins and repay our karma debt. Without karma debt, our all inclusive conscience will be revealed naturally. Certainly we will has absolute faith and enjoy in the happiness brought by contentment in practical daily life.
Once we put the Heart Dharma of ¡§Contentment brings endless happiness¡¨ into practice, although we may lead a plain life, we are still very happy.
If we can really understand the Heart Dharma of ''Contentment brings endless happiness'', life will be so natural and unrestrained. We will think those external wealth, fame, power and high position are not worth a glance. Although we may lead a plain life without comfortable and luxury enjoyment, we still cherish it and enjoy ourselves because we have found the marvelous function of our inherent boundless treasure. Comparing with my all-inclusive conscience, my innate boundless treasure is like the sea while the whole Earth is like a granule of sand. Every thing external is just so small that it's not worth mentioning.
Since ancient times every Buddha and Saint almost had nothing as possession, however they still enjoyed their life. It is because they had put the heart Dharma of ''Contentment beings endless happiness into practice''.
When everyone applies the marvelous function of all-inclusive conscience. The innate treasure is revealed and everyone has no greed or desire to chase outward. Naturally comes the Universal Harmony.
The recognition of ''Contentment brings endless happiness.'' is the foundation of Dao cultivation. After we experience this happiness, we should share it with other people. We shall apply this Heart Dharma to benefit and save people. This is what a Bodhisattva should do.
Let us put this Heart Dharma of ''Contentment brings endless happiness'' into practice and propagate it, and make everyone enjoy this happiness of innate treasure. As the result, the Universal Harmony will come true naturally.
The Harmonious World is a world of contentment and happiness. If we hope the Harmonious World will arrive soon, we shall start with realizing the significance of conscience.
When everyone recognize one's inherent all-inclusive conscience and put it into practice, without any effort, the Universal Harmony will arrive.
With love and light....
Loving Kindness is the way
