        It’s funny. When we practice 
          the Quan Yin Method, sometimes our shapes change. Some fat people became 
          slimmer; some skinny people become rounder—not fat, but fulfilled, 
          more filled out.  
        Many things like this happen. 
          And sometimes it happens right after initiation. So the person who comes 
          in and the person who comes out, you hardly recognize. Myself, I don’t 
          recognize! After initiation, he looks totally different, like another 
          person: more lovable, and closer, like a long-time friend. It’s very 
          funny; I’ve noticed this many times.  
        So sometimes people think, “How 
          come Master doesn’t know me? I just came to say ‘hallo’ to 
          Her a few days ago, and now it looks like she doesn’t remember.” 
          I do remember, but just a different person! You change; the chemical 
          substances in the body change, too. We renew our tissues and our cells. 
          And the structure of our thinking becomes different, even though you 
          might not notice it because here you don’t have the opportunity to 
          use it. But when you go home, or if the opportunity arises for you to 
          solve the same problem, you will see that so many fresh ideas have developed 
          overnight. And then you know what has happened to you.

        In Heaven above, they heal with 
          Light instead of with medicine. I think, perhaps we will also heal illness 
          with similar light in the future. There are also some illnesses that 
          can be cured by sound, say like music. This method we are practicing 
          includes the Light and the Sound, and through it many agonies and pressures 
          are minimized naturally, and eventually disappear. We are originally 
          highly intelligent beings. However, in this world, we are excessively 
          oppressed, and have no time to rest. Even when we find time to rest, 
          we don't know the proper way. Outings and activities simply tire us 
          even more after we spend much money. We just feel even more uncomfortable. 
          Now, we have the time to practice spiritually, and the power of Light 
          and Sound that heals all illnesses, and we also have wisdom. In serenity, 
          we can find our original wisdom, so it is simply natural that we are 
          becoming better and better.  
        Ordinary people, after being 
          loaded with heavy work, go for a rest by the seaside or in the mountains 
          for a while, if they can afford it. Then they feel refreshed and are 
          ready to carry on with their work. However, it is much better that we 
          have a brief rest each day than taking a week off after a long time. 
          Our two and a half hours' meditation is our everyday rest. Besides resting, 
          we are also saving our life! The Light and Sound purify our mentality, 
          bodily cells, etc. So the more we practice, the younger and more comfortable 
          we feel, and most illnesses disappear.

        When we meditate on the Sound, 
          our internal vibrations change, new concepts emerge, and new cells are 
          born. We seem to be born anew, and this is the system of "rejuvenation". 
           
        Anyone who meditates diligently 
          will definitely have their body and mind changed, as well as their thinking. 
          They will feel as if they have been born anew. There is no better way 
          than meditation. Thus, if we want to be liberated from birth and death, 
          alleviate suffering and help the world, we must first meditate and cleanse 
          our karma so that we know how to properly help others.
