Q: Master, I can understand Your explanation of the positive power, but could You elaborate on the circumstances under which this positive power can help us? You have given us many examples, but could You please cite another example?

Master: The positive power is doing a lot of work in this world. We may not feel it, but it is actually helping us. When we have opened and used this positive power, we will always feel very happy. Suppose you see a poor, sick and lonely man, and your sympathies are suddenly aroused. You give him some money and take care of him for a while. For that, you feel very comfortable. That is the positive power helping that person and you. It is not just a superficial action or feeling. Later, if you fall sick, people will give you much help, much more than what you have given. Suppose you have helped someone with a hundred dollars; later, when you are sick, people might help you with ten thousand dollars. Or if you often help sick people when you are in good health, then you may never become ill in the future. This is how the positive power helps us.

However, we seldom use this positive power because we are too weak and are usually dominated by the negative power. This is why we need a living Master to help us turn on the tap of positive and almighty power. It is not working well now; we can only get a few drops from it every day. Once the Master has repaired it and we turn it on, more water will flow out than we can ever use. It will supply us with lots of water, and no more repairs will be necessary. We won't have to wait for it drop by drop, collecting only a tiny bit after a whole day. Any time we turn on the tap, the water will gush out very fast.

The positive power is within us. For instance, every day after initiation, we communicate with God, the Self Nature, and the Saints. We see Jesus Christ, the Buddha, or the Quan Yin Bodhisattva, face to face and can make any request. Our prayers are realized immediately. We are connected to the almighty power and have more things than we will ever need. This is the true positive power. From then on, It will take care of our soul. In this world, It will take care of our daily life, and we will be fine in every aspect! The Quan Yin Method can heal all illnesses, including those arising from vexation, ignorance, greed, anger, and infatuation. It can cure the illnesses of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. The only way open to us will be to Heaven, the Pure Land. We will not go to hell or come back to suffer the pains of the human world. Of course, we can come back as a human if we want to. If we want to help others, we can come back and reincarnate as a human. However, this will be voluntary, and different from cases of people being dragged down by karma to suffer transmigration, pain, and ignorance.

The positive power is inconceivable. Before it is opened, we are in great pain and loneliness. But once it is opened, we can feel ourselves grow greater and more powerful. We become happier and more contented, and freer of needs and attachments to the material world. Then we can easily renounce the world. Now that your positive power is not yet opened, despite the fact that I have been talking for a long time, you still can not fully understand. When it is opened at the time of initiation, you will understand and know how this positive power can help us every day. What can we say when it is not opened? It is just like not knowing what to buy when we have no money. But when we have money, we know we can buy some bread, bean curd, or gluten. (Laughter) We can even get married.

Q: Master, just now You introduced the positive power. Could You explain how the negative power can help us?

Master: If we can control the negative power, then it can also help us. For instance, people say that money is a source of temptation. It makes us kill, causes divorce, forces brothers and sisters apart, disrupts the family, lures people to accept bribes and become corrupt officers, and turns good people bad. However, if we know how to make good use of money, the more money we have, the better. If more money is given to those who are greedy or bewitched by money, they will only crave more. But people who can make use of money instead of only possessing it will spend generously. It is good for them to have lots of money, so that they can help the poor, the orphaned, and the widowed, or build hospitals for the sick. In this way, money is not evil.

The negative power is just like an electric pole that is negatively charged. Without a negative pole, the lamp cannot shine. Therefore, the negative power and positive power are actually the same power doing different tasks. It becomes bad only when we do not know how to use it. Therefore, we need an Enlightened Master to tell us how to use the negative power to benefit ourselves. Once we practice the Quan Yin Method, we will realize that there is actually no good or bad, no positive or negative. We see it differently only because we do not understand. To an unenlightened person, even the positive power may not do him any good. Not knowing how to use it, he might use it to do evil things. For instance, if an unenlightened person notices that another person is very kind, he may take advantage of the benevolence of that person and borrow money for drinking and gambling purposes. On the other hand, an enlightened person can turn even negative power into something beneficial.
