If we have some reverent beings, we have to treat them nicely. You must know. I always tell you, a long time already, so you do always the same. The monks and nuns sit somewhere separate, as separate as possible. We have to protect them, protect their purity, for you. It’s not like I love them more than I love you. It’s just they need to be a little distant. You go home, you just sit with anybody, hug each other, sleep with each other, but they are different. They need to be separated. Because we can influence them with some of our negative thinking, impure energy.

After initiation, a physical miracle or emotional. It’s nothing. Spiritual miracle is the best. Don’t take it for granted. And give thanks all the time, thank God, thank the Almighty, and thank all the coordinating Gods which give you a comfortable life or a good experience in life. Can’t have everything. Remember before, every center I make perfect, everything good, but then it won’t last. Whatever the situation, we live, we try to arrange as best we can here.

So, try to think which habit you really need. Consider do you really need this or you really need that or not? And if you don’t need it, then try to be master of it. Don’t let the habit master you. And then, your life becomes better. That’s all; very easy; just change the habit that bother you. Whatever in your life is no good, you change that if you can. And if you cannot, then bear it. All right? Nothing lasts forever. Even suffering doesn’t last forever.

Whatever you want, you will have. That’s the law of the universe. So, watch it, what you want. Watch it. Whatever you do for others is good for you. So, be mindful of/that and be respectful. But to be good is not enough. To be saintly is not enough. You must be more than that. You have to be more compassionate, considerate, intelligent, helpful, willing and kind at all times, and unconditional loving, especially non-selfish love. You have to always think of how to serve humanity at large, how to help the unfortunate people. That’s really saintly.

Enemies often come back together, so that they learn love. They learn to love each other. They had become enemies because they had no love. So, often, they come back as husband and wife, as lover, mother, son, sister, brother, to learn to love! Because family members, naturally you just love. And only love can solve the enmity of the past life. That’s why they often come back as family members or lovers. I suffer more than you do, believe it. Only, I don’t talk. Even if I talk, it’s never enough to describe it.

We used to be more civilized. But then, if we don’t balance our knowledge with wisdom, and we don’t balance the material gain with the spiritual success, Too much intellectual knowledge, but no spiritual wisdom, then just at war with each other. It’s just the power. It’s just the power of renunciation that you get from me whenever you are near. You don’t have to be a resident in order to do my work or to serve other people. Just stay the way you are, help other people, and then that is a resident.

His name was Hero. I’ll always remember and I cried so much, so much, and I said, “In the name of humanity, I really apologize to you. I really am ashamed and I apologize to you. You’ll go to Heaven for sure. I’ll make sure of that.” I did not cry for him. I cried for myself and for the lot of all the dogs. For all the wild dogs that have been mistreated or have met with suffering like that, for example, or poisoning, or abused, or killed to be eaten, or for the fur, whatever. My God! We humans, we’re so savage. We say dogs are wild dogs and street dogs, but they are not as wild as some of us humans.

Getting better; I hope, I do hope. Wherever I go, I donate what I can and wherever I can and whenever I can. I just hope for these examples would lead on to something better for all of our beautiful friends, because animals are really, really good. All these dogs are precious to me. I really took them from the jaws of death and took care of them; the most difficult part already, when they were babies. And I had to be the mother and father and caretaker,

Even kings of ghosts are under karma for what they did before. They even bestow blessing and help is you’re good. Just that the karmic trouble pushes them into more bad than good. So, remember the Five Holy Names or the Buddhas’ names or some Saint’s name. Their merits are immense, Their compassions are limitless, Their power is superb and eternal. So, calling Their names has more power, of course, or hearing Their names has more power. “I only wish that at the time of birth and of death they will believe what I say so that they all can be liberate and gain many benefits.”

If they committed great offenses and go against my teaching, then it may different. Maybe the Maya has the excuse to come and seize them anytime, even before their allotted longevity. So, there are such things as early death. There are such things. Not only for outside people, but for initiates as well. Because if you allow the negative power to have an excuse to execute you, then that is your choice. The Master teaches you how to be good, to escape from all of that, but if you don’t want it, then you still have free will. Free will to choose hell.

They believe that being a monk is the way to liberation. Because they think that the nature of life is ephemeral anyway. So, give them place and respect, give way when they walk. Do anything in your respectful way. And they meditate a lot more. They truly keep the precepts. They truly understand why they became monks and nuns, why they practice. I just respect them because of the ideal they hold, the renunciation they make, the self-denial that they try. They try hard to be a good person, to be a good monk.

“‘When men or women, laden with offenses, who failed to plant good causes die, even they can receive one-seventh of any merit dedicated to them by relatives who do good deeds on their behalf. The other six-sevenths of the merit will return to the living relatives who did the good deeds. It follows that men or women of the present and future who cultivate while they are strong and healthy will receive all portions of the benefit derived.’” So, when you die as a good person like that and you relatives still - just in case you didn’t, or through love- do all these good deeds and on your behalf, then you receive all the merit. All the merit.

Spread the name of the Buddhas in all directions. That’s why Buddhism is great. It tells you the way to do it. But other religions also tell you, “Pray to God, pray to Jesus.” But you have to do it constantly so that when you die, you remember. So continue, so when they die, they don’t forget. Their subconscious doesn’t forget. That’s important. Not just mind. Continue until it’s ingrained in your subconscious, that even when you wake up, immediately you remember the Buddha’s name. And even when you die, your subconscious, you’re unconscious, your subconscious will remember.

Can leave the evil destiny forever if relatives pray for them and give offerings to the Buddha’s image and all that and continue to do good deeds on their behalf. He will be born as humans or gods, and receive supremely wonderful bliss. The surviving relatives will also receive limitless benefits. All these killing, harming of sacrifice are the least helpful for the deceased. Such acts only bind up the conditions of offenses, so that they grow even more deep and heavy. I see that beings of Jambudvipa will themselves receive the benefit of any good deeds they are able to do within the Buddha’s teaching. That holds true even when the deeds are as small as a strand of hair.

This is for the people who are ignorant, who have no refuge in anyone, who have nowhere to go, no one to believe in, no one to rely on. So, you are the ones who probably have to help these kinds of people so that they don't fall to hell. Because if nobody prays for them at the time of death, nobody tries to do good things and forward this merit to that soul, then he goes to hell, or goes to a bad reincarnation. That's why you see all the churches and all the religions, all the Buddhist monks and nuns always busy praying for the dead.

“Ananda, if any one of the monk’s precept transmitting masters or any one of the other monks practicing with him is not pure, then the Bodhimanda as described will not be successful.” Even if you don’t sleep for three months, even if you’re pure, who knows if the bhiksu giving you the precepts is pure or not pure? Therefore, even if you have all that from one of the monks, all the precepts, you can never be sure. This is the problem. You should always choose your birth whenever a living Master is born, so that when you grow up, you time, your age, you come of age, then you can go and grab that Master and quick. Not doing all this.

The pyramid is, people built it for meditation. Nobody even knew up until now, what it was for; for meditation purposes. Number one, it’s very good concentration inside. Energy. Also, the cosmic energy can help you. It’s one pointed like that. And then number two is that in the desert, it’s so hot. The pyramid is very thick, the wall diameter, very thick, and it’s so cool inside. After the Master dies, 300 or 500 years maximum, no more. That’s why every Sutra emphasizes a living Master.

All this because you don’t find a living Master. You study with His disciples or some lay later-generation disciples, if they still have the instructions in their heart to tell you. Then, because the living Master, meaning the Buddha’s not there anymore, you have to do thus such and such and such and such. Then you can also become enlightened and the Buddha will appear to you and bless you to be enlightened; that is that. So the living Master is the easier way for you, if you can find one. There’s some more. So many Buddha images and Budhisattva and heavenly beings already; some more coming, in case you want to try.

After initiation, make sure you remember, so that every day you continue to practice, so that your mind will be ingrained into this spiritual power already. “In the countries within them, they should seek for the unsurpassed Thus Come Ones throughout the ten directions, to emit a light of great compassion and anoint the crowns of their heads.” Don’t let the mind trouble you and rob you of your enlightenment and faith. Faith is the mother of all virtues; that’s what I said. Buddha said that, the same. A country, rich or not, materially, it doesn’t matter too much, but spiritually rich, it matters.

The teachings and the lineage of the spiritual power of any Mater, it’s like a river. Sometimes, it’s hidden under the earth somewhere, and you think this is the end of the river. No, no, it will seep out somewhere and then appear again; so it is like that. Any of the religious people should look where the river reappears, and do not be attached to a location of the original river, because in all ages, all religious branches, there will always be a Master somewhere. It may not be in the same lineage, not be in the same religious order, but there will be a Master for the world, for our world.
