Spiritual Antidote
Awakening from illusion requires tremendous effort. The reason that many people failed in pursuit of enlightenment are the glittering realities of material existence. Freedom from bondage can be achieved only after cutting off all attachments of ordinary people. Only when one is presented with the utmost nature of this universe can one become realized. The cosmic space is filled with medicine Buddhas, green and white Taras, and various protector Dakinis at different levels in all dimensions and all corners of the ten-directional world, various deities of various colors, and their lovers embracing their bodies with their right hand clinging to their necks. Protector saints fulfilling their prehistoric vows and sword-wielding angels blessing the faithful and punishing the wicked. All of these beings were fully extinguished at least once in their previous lifetimes. Gradually, one realizes that the nature of these beings is emptiness. Thus, one assimilates to the cosmic characteristic. The essence of emptiness is radiance. Thus, one realizes non-emptiness.
Jesus taught to turn the other cheek, while Buddha taught right conduct. When a being is in an unfavorable position in the ordinary human world or when you put your hopes in someone and this person betrays you, humiliates you, and rejects you, may you anyway regard him as an exceptional spiritual teacher. The unity of all beings is manifested for the realized ones in this way. By supporting the unity of all beings, one transcends the plane of ignorance and hatefulness and achieves bliss. Studying the law under a precious teacher, one is already blessed. Realizing enlightenment, one becomes a child of the auspicious enlightened family. Aspiring for true fruition, this person leaves the mundane state of mind and enters bardö, thus opening the gates of non-existence.
The ordinary human is a sinner, incapable of ever changing his sinful nature; his only hope for salvation is faith in the divine. The magnificent display of virtue and breadth of wisdom that our disciples perform while stationed among ordinary people is unparalleled. Society can thus once again experience a taste of the divine, enjoy inner peace, and straighten its conduct. An ordinary person is not allowed to casually disclose these highly guarded heavenly secrets, but to not do it this way would be akin to robbing people with great inborn qualities of the opportunity to find a way to cease their suffering and to enable them to elevate themselves from the lowest planes of existence. We allow anyone who possesses the Buddha-nature to realize himself or herself. By doing it this way, we are allowing for the mending of the colossal firmament and for the return of divine beings to Heavens.
