MYSTICAL ILLUMINATING NECTAR'S DIVINE COMPASSION OF ENLIGHTENMENT UNITY AND REVELATION

To Polygamy

I do not want to interfere in personal life of our practitioners, sa I have been silent on some issues for quite some time. I also have to rectify incorrect understandings of religions of the past, controlled by old forces. People, especially young people come to me to ask certain questions about marriage and marital relationship. In our system there is no polygamy. We do not have such things. Ancient China used to have a system of concubines. That is a degenerate fragment of the past, that should stay in the anals of history.

As for me, people ask so I have to be responsible to them. I had one long term (of six months), [female] partner so far, we split on friendly terms. It was quite some time ago, more than ten years ago, so this episode could be dasignated as concluded.

Did I tried to become a monk? Certainly not an ordained monk in established religions. Monkish life certainly has its benefits, but I've discovered that it is indeed reserved for special group of people. I believe people should lead a normal harmonious married life. That is all I will say about polygamy.
