By a Quan Yin messenger

After the September 11 incident in the United States, all the centers in Formosa were open for group meditation and prayer for world peace by fellow practitioners, in hopes that Master's divine love could be shared with the traumatized victims and those who had lost their lives in the disaster. During this period, Quan Yin messengers visited the various centers around Formosa to convey Master's instructions.

Fellow practitioners in Taitung earnestly joined the prayer and meditation session during this period. Many of those who were busy during the day tried to meditate throughout the night. A brother initiate said that, after meditating for two nights, he felt very comfortable and his body became nimble and light; although he stayed up two whole nights, he remained energetic and alert. The Quan Yin messenger also took the opportunity to correct many fellow initiates who had been meditating in the wrong way, and this subsequently helped them to see the Light. All the fellow initiates beamed with a divine glow, which made them look much younger.

According to our past experiences, fellow initiates who sincerely follow and practice Master's instructions definitely attain spiritual growth. And as Quan Yin messengers, we also are elevated spiritually.

When exchanging experiences with fellow initiates in Formosa and abroad, each time the Quan Yin messenger mentions contemplation on the Light, there are always some fellow initiates who claim to be unable to see the Light.

This September, when the Quan Yin messenger joined a Taitung group meditation for world peace, again several fellow initiates raised this concern. Then the messenger showed them the correct way before meditating together. Those who originally could not see the Light happily announced that they finally saw the Light.

During meditation, some fellow initiates often try to look at their wisdom eye with their physical eyes, or turn their eyeballs upward. This accounts for their unsettled hearts and inability to sit long or see the Light. When in samadhi, our eyeballs should turn upward naturally. If we do it deliberately, we will not be able to see the Light. Master has told us in one of Her discourses that, when contemplating the Light, we should not see with the eyes. Instead, we should focus our attention on the wisdom eye, and relax our minds as though we were sleeping but remaining awake inside. Then we should look forward from our wisdom eye in a natural and relaxed way, as though we were looking at things with our physical eyes in daily life. In our hearts, we should not expect or desire anything. After some time, unexpected experiences will then come to us naturally. When the way is right, naturally comes the Light!
