On Monday, August 31, 2009, in an after-dinner casual stroll, Grand Master said to all attending devotees that there are altogether six disciples who have been enlightened: Lian-Ming(蓮鳴), Jing-Bo(敬博), Dharma-sister Yu(俞師姐), Lian-Han(蓮翰), Der-Hsiang(德祥), and Lian-Her(蓮訶). Grand Master hoping that these disciples would put their enlightenment into practice and also practice the Inner Yoga till perfection is achieved!

Grand Master expounded that putting enlightenment into practice is the Prajna regiment which consists in the implementation of the ego-less concept. That is, to forgo one`s ego in all respects on behalf of all sentient beings. Enlightenment has to be put into practice accordingly, otherwise it is just a piece of paper bearing testament of one`s enlightenment, and merely a theory. After enlightenment is achieved, one must cleanse oneself of greed, anger and delusion in practice. Grand Master further elaborated, enlightenment of Zen Buddhism consists in only enlightening the mind. One must go farther to realize the true Buddha-nature: by achieving the Non-leakage state and raising the Kundalini fire, with which the (upper) luminous energy drops are thus melt and dripped down into the heart chakra. The technique of descending, elevating, retaining and dissipating are deployed in opening the heart chakra. When the Buddha-nature in the heart chakra is manifested, all the Buddhas and Boddhisattvas in the universe will descend upon you to affirm the testimony that you have achieved Buddhahood. By analogy, this can be likened to a bright lamp being lit up in a originally dark room, and thus illuminates all things (in dark the room).

Then, if the practitioner was to practice the Sadhana of Kalachakra Deity, he could merge the Buddha-nature with Kalachakra in dissolving all the Tangible Bodies and achieve the Great Perfection of the Rainbow Body; or, the practitioner can transmit the cultivated luminosity of the heart chakra into the Void and merge with celestial planets and produce multitude of Astral Bodies, so as to extensively redeem inestimable number of sentient beings.

Grand Master spoke further, although Zen masters of the past did not practice Vajrayana, they were to practice meditative Dhyana after attaining enlightenment from the First Dhyana up through the Fourth Dhyana and then down through the First Dhyana again. All the karmic hindrances and seeds of ethos aberrations were hence eradicated through the process and the Great Perfection was then achieved!

Grand Master compassionately encouraged everybody to cultivate steadfastly till the Great Perfection is achieved! After hearing Grand Master`s exposition, the attending followers were deeply incited, and were impelled with the greatest courage to press on in their spiritual endeavors dauntlessly, and resolute to forge ahead till the most perfect state is attained.
