Buddha Padmasambhava

Guru Rinpoche

Mahaguru of Gurus
Guru Rinpoche

BUDDHA PADMASAMBHAVA, more popularly known as Guru Rinpoche, came from

Kashmir, on the side of what is now known as Pakistan, “close to the border with Afghanistan
and Tajikistan. More precisely, his homeland is often cited as the Swat Valley, an area once
called Udyan.”1 In 747 A.D., he went to Tibet upon the invitation of King Thi-srong-detsan2 and
started teaching Tantric Buddhism. According to the accounts of Christopher Beckwith, a
Western historian:

One may also conclude that a major reason for so many Indian Buddhist sages coming to
Central Tibet from Kashmir, and notably, the famous Padmasambhava from Udyana, was
the simple fact that Tibet then ruled much of this region.3

The Lord Padmasambhava is the founder of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. He popularized the
mantra Om Mani Padme Hum of Buddha Avalokiteshvara, also known as Buddha Kwan Yin, the
Buddha of Mercy and Compassion.
Fig. 1 Buddha Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche Founder of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism
Mahaguru of Gurus

Buddha Padmasambhava, according to Tibetan stories, was “born of a lotus flower” as an

eight-year-old boy. Padma means “lotus flower” and Sambhava means “born of.” The name
Padmasambhava, therefore, literally means “born of the lotus flower.” Obviously, this is not
physically possible. Spiritually, what does it mean “to be born of the lotus flower”? What is the
significance of an eight-year old boy on a lotus flower?

The Lord Padmasambhava is a Mahaguru. Maha means “Great” and Guru means “Spiritual
Teacher.” Buddha Padmasambhava has been a Great Teacher for aeons and aeons of time. Under
his direct and indirect tutelage are Holy Masters, great arhats, high Tibetan Lamas, high
Buddhist monks, Taoist yogis and immortals, Indian yogis, kaya siddhas — great yogis from
Southern India, rishis, great kabbalists, and other great spiritual disciples.
In Lord Padmasambhava’s Indian incarnation, he was a Great Avatar. In another lifetime, he
was the Great Ptah or the Chief High Priest Nefertem of the Egyptian Mystery School.
According to Egyptian tradition, Nefertem, the deity of healing arts, was born of the lotus flower.
He is depicted as a young person with a lotus flower on top of his head. Again, what does it mean
spiritually “to be born of the lotus flower”?
The Lord Padmasambhava’s senior disciple, Chohan Jig Mei Ling, was also a Ptah of the
Egyptian Mystery School. Chohan Jig Mei Ling is the modern compiler of the Nyingmapa
Tradition. Much of the inner teachings and practices of Tantric Buddhism have been compiled
and written down by this great disciple of Guru Rinpoche.
 Chapter 2

Terma Teachings

Earth Terma

Inner Terma
Earth Terma

TERMA MEANS “TREASURES.” The Lord Padmasambhava and his consort Yeshe Tsogyal
had hidden certain manuscripts in caves, temples and other places that were supposed to be
discovered by treasure hunters. This physical terma, called “Earth Terma,”4 not only exist in
manuscript form but also in artifacts.

Inner Terma

A more subtle terma, the “Inner Terma”— inner teaching is buried in the consciousness of the
Lord Padmasambhava’s disciples. These teachings are supposed to come out of the
consciousness of his disciples and will be revealed to the world.5 Chohan Jig Mei Ling is a great
terton or revealer of terma teachings. He has been a great guru in many of his past lives;
therefore, much of the spiritual teachings and practices or mental terma came from his ancient
memories. Some inner termas have been transmitted to him by Lord Padmasambhava and other
great spiritual beings.

This book is a terma teaching. As of the moment of writing in 2004 A.D, the esoteric
teachings and practices revealed here are known only to a few high lamas and great yogis. The
teachings and practices revealed are priceless.

Om Mani Padme Hum Mantra of

Compassion and Purification

Mantra of Compassion

Mantra of Purification

Mantra of Great Benefits

Mantra of Compassion

OM MANI PADME HUM is the mantra of Buddha Avalokiteshvara, also known as Buddha
Kwan Yin. The repetition of this mantra results in the bringing down of blessings and divine
energy from the Buddha of Mercy and Compassion to the person reciting it. The divine energy
from Buddha Avalokiteshvara enters into the crown, then to the body, and radiates outward.

Chanting Om Mani Padme Hum has purifying and healing effects, not only on the person
chanting it, but also on people and sentient beings within a certain radius. All higher, ordinary
and lower sentient beings within a certain range will be, to a certain degree, purified, healed and
soothed of their discomfort, pain and suffering. The person reciting it and other people and
sentient beings around him will experience calmness and inner peace. Om Mani Padme Hum is
indeed a mantra of mercy and compassion.

Mantra of Purification

Chanting the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum cleanses and purifies the mental body, emotional
body, energy body and the physical body. The long-term effect is purifying the person of
different weaknesses such as:

1. Ajna chakra – spiritual pride

2. Throat chakra – pride and delusion, self-dishonesty, dishonesty to others, prejudice,
superstitious beliefs and misconceptions
3. Solar plexus chakra – irritation, anger, violence, jealousy and enviousness
4. Sex chakra – excessive passion or sexual desire
5. Basic chakra – greed

Mantra of Great Benefits6

Om Mani Padme Hum is the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion and Mercy. By uttering or
chanting Om Mani Padme Hum, considerable good karma and tremendous benefits are
generated.
It has a wish-fulfilling effect.
 Increases intelligence and the ability to retain what has been learned and has a soothing,
healing effect.
 Chapter 4

Padme and the Golden Lotus

Om Mani Padme Hum

The Spiritual Eye

Padme

Buddhi Chitta – Intuitive Intelligence

Om Mani Padme Hum

WHAT IS THE MEANING of Om Mani Padme Hum? Om is the divine sound. Repeating the
mantra Om elevates the consciousness. The mental body, emotional body, and energy body
become brighter, and their rate of frequency increases.
Mani means “jewel.”
Padme is “lotus flower.”
Hum is a Tibetan affirmation like “So be it” or “Amen.”

The Spiritual Eye

What is the meaning of the jewel in the lotus flower? To understand this mantra and its inner
meaning, it is necessary to have a developed spiritual eye or third eye. This is symbolized by the
eye on the forehead of the White Tara. By the use of the spiritual eye, one is able to see things
that ordinary people cannot see. The spiritual eye is actually the forehead chakra, not the ajna
chakra, which is located between the eyebrows. In India, the forehead chakra is called the
Lalaata chakra. As of the moment, very few people know of the existence of this chakra.
To understand Mani — the Jewel, it is necessary to understand first Padme — The Golden
Lotus Flower.

Padme

Padme means “Lotus flower.” On top of the head is an energy center called the crown chakra,
also known in Sanskrit as the Sahasrara chakra. The crown chakra has two sets of petals: the 12
inner golden petals and the 960 outer petals which have light violet, blue, yellow, green, orange
and red pranas.

When the crown chakra is sufficiently activated, its 12 inner golden petals “open” and turn
upward like a golden lotus flower to receive the spiritual energy coming down, which is
distributed to other parts of the body. The activated crown chakra, which looks like a golden
lotus flower when seen clairvoyantly, is symbolized as a crown hat worn by the High Lamas.
The activated crown chakra also appears as a golden flame on top of the golden lotus flower.
This is symbolized as the yellow hat worn by the Dalai Lama and the Gelupa Lamas. This golden
flame is also symbolized by the miter worn by popes, cardinals and bishops.

 Fig. 8 A Tibetan Lama with the crown hat.
The crown hat symbolizes the five Dhyan Buddhas. This is the traditional interpretation. Esoterically, it represents Padme — the
activated crown chakra.

The yellow hat symbolizes the golden flame on the golden lotus of the activated crown chakra.

symbolizes the golden flame on the golden lotus of the activated crown chakra.

Illustration taken from the book by Master Choa Kok Sui, Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul, p 182.
 When the crown chakra is highly activated, a halo is also produced around the head. This is
why the Arhats, Boddhisattvas and the Buddhas are usually shown with a golden halo around
their heads. Similar halos are also shown on the heads of saints of different religions. Since there
are different degrees of spiritual development, the size and brightness of the halo vary.
The crown chakra must be activated in order to achieve illumination or to experience one’s
Buddha Nature. This is the meaning of Padme — the Golden Lotus Flower on the crown.

Buddhi Chitta – Intuitive Intelligence

To develop intuitive intelligence or Buddhi Chitta, the heart chakra must first be activated.
This is why Lord Buddha Shakyamuni stated that it is necessary first to develop compassion
before the Buddhi Chitta can be developed. Unless the heart chakra is activated, the crown
chakra cannot be activated. The crown chakra is the center of Buddhi Chitta or intuitive
intelligence.
What is intuitive intelligence? It is direct inner perception or direct knowing without having to
study.

Meditation on Loving-Kindness

Meditation on Loving-Kindness

Procedure

Precautions
Meditation on Loving-Kindness7

IN DOING MEDITATION ON LOVING-KINDNESS, the meditator concentrates on the

crown chakra and on the heart chakra while the hands are raised upward with the intention of
radiating the compassionate healing energy of Buddha Avalokiteshvara, and simultaneously
chanting the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. In Buddhism, Meditation on Loving-Kindness is
called Metta.
To experience one’s Buddha Nature, it is necessary to activate the crown chakra, which is the
center of universal love, universal compassion and illumination. The heart chakra is the center of
human love, the emotional heart. The crown chakra can only be sufficiently activated when the
heart chakra has been sufficiently activated first. The heart chakra is a replica of the crown
chakra. When one looks at the heart chakra, it looks like the inner chakra of the crown chakra
which has 12 golden petals.
When a person does Meditation on Loving-Kindness, divine energy flows down, filling him
with divine light, love and power. The practitioner becomes a channel of this divine energy. In
Taoist Yoga, this divine energy is called Tian Chi. The Christians call it the “descent of the Holy
Spirit,” which is symbolized by a pillar of light with a descending dove. Spiritual aspirants who
have practiced this meditation for quite some time may experience being enveloped by dazzling,
sometimes blinding light or the head filled with dazzling light.
Fig. 11 A Yogi doing Meditation on Loving-Kindness using Om Mani Padme Hum
 A person with a sufficiently activated crown chakra does not necessarily achieve illumination
for he has yet to learn how to use the activated crown chakra. This is just like having a
sophisticated computer, but not knowing how to operate it. Once the crown chakra has been
sufficiently activated, then you have to do meditation on the light, on the mantra OM and on the
intervals between the OMs. Concentration should be focused not only on the mantra OM, but
especially on the interval between the two OMs. It is by concentrating on the light and on the
moment of stillness between the two OMs that illumination is achieved.

 In yoga, there is a common saying that if the water is turbulent, it is difficult to see what is
under it. If the water is calm, one can easily see what is under it. Likewise, when the mind and
the emotions are chaotic, realizing one’s Buddha Nature is very difficult. However, when the
mind and the emotions are still, it is possible to achieve “illumination” or experience one’s
Buddha Nature.
Fig. 13 The heart chakra is a replica of the inner crown chakra which has 12 golden petals.

Let Mother Earth be blessed with

divine light, love and power.
Let Mother Earth be revitalized and regenerated.

d. Put your hands on your ajna chakra, between your eyebrows, and say, With respect . . .
e. Put your hands back to the center of the chest and say, With love. With thanks and in full
faith. So be it.

16. To further release excess energy, do more physical exercises for three to five minutes.

Precautions

In some instances, the practice of Meditation on Loving-Kindness may aggravate some serious
ailments. People with the following health problems must avoid doing this meditation:

1. Hypertension — unless the blood pressure is controlled through medication and/or healing
2. Glaucoma — unless the condition is treated with proper medication and/or healing
3. Serious heart problems — The energy generated by the meditation may cause the heart to
become congested and may worsen the condition.

Should a person experience any physical discomfort, stop doing the meditation.
Persons below 17 or 18 years old should not practice regularly the Meditation on Loving-
Kindness since their bodies may not be able to withstand too much subtle energies. Doing so
may even eventually manifest as physical paralysis after a prolonged period of time. Exceptions
to this rule are the many highly evolved persons who have incarnated and whose bodies are now
in the adolescent stage. These advanced adolescents have big chakras and can start practicing
Meditation on Loving-Kindness even at 14 years old or earlier. Their condition, however, should
be monitored to avoid unnecessary problems.

Proper diet and proper abstinence must be observed by those who intend to practice this
meditation. Avoid the following:
1. Eating pork, eel or catfish
2. Smoking
3. Excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks
4. Addictive and hallucinogenic drugs

Pork, eel and catfish contain a lot of dirty red energy which tend to clog up the energy
channels and the energy centers. Eating dirty food and doing this meditation will eventually
cause the body to become seriously sick and, therefore, should be avoided. It can result in
tiredness, fever, insomnia, depression and even hypertension and other diseases.
Smoking dirties the back heart chakra and the energy body. To do this meditation, it is
necessary to have a clean energy body if one is to avoid becoming physically sick.
For the same reason, excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks and intake of addictive and
hallucinogenic drugs are not advisable because these substances dirty the energy body. They
cause energy congestion if a person practices a higher form of meditation.

Mani – The Blue Pearl

MANI MEANS “JEWEL.” What exactly is its meaning? The hint is given in the picture of
Lord Buddha Padmasambhava. In many instances, the Lord Buddha Padmasambhava is shown
with a peacock feather on top of his head. Why would he be shown with a peacock feather on top
of his head? If you look at the peacock feather carefully, you will notice that it has an “eye” — a
bluish dot surrounded by gold, green and other colors. The eye symbolizes the blue pearl which
is the jewel or “Mani” in the golden lotus. What exactly is the blue pearl? The blue pearl is the
“seed of consciousness” or the mental permanent seed, found in the crown chakra, and located in
the pineal gland. Through regular and prolonged meditation on the blue pearl or the seed of
consciousness, one gradually experiences one’s true nature, which is called the “Buddha
Nature” in Buddhism. The more advanced lamas and yogis may experience oneness with their
higher Buddha Nature. In the Christian tradition, the Buddha Nature is called the “Holy Spirit.”
This is the meaning of what St. Paul said that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1
Corinthians 6:19). In the Egyptian tradition, the spiritual aspect of man is called Ba.

Fig. 18 The Great Avatar Krishna with a Peacock Feather

There are many pictures of Krishna that show him with a peacock feather and a cobra. The peacock feather symbolizes the
blue pearl. The cobra symbolizes the kundalini energy. By meditating on the blue pearl, the kundalini energy is awakened,
eventually manifesting as samadhi. There will be a corresponding downpour of divine energy going to the base of the spine
where the kundalini energy is located. It is this divine energy that regulates and awakens the kundalini energy and brings it up to
the brain and crown chakra. When this is done over and over again for a certain period of time, the yogi will experience
illumination.

Painting taken from Hinduism Revealed by Master Choa Kok Sui.

 Fig. 20 Buddha Padmasambhava
The mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, also means the Blue Pearl.
The Blue Pearl is the mani, within the golden lotus crown chakra which is the padme.
By meditating on the Blue Pearl within the Lotus Flower, it is possible to achieve illumination.

Note: This is only a graphic representation of Lord Padmasambhava’s crown chakra. The actual size of his crown chakra is
many, many times bigger than the one shown above.
 This is also the reason why in the Indian tradition, the Lord Krishna is shown with a peacock
feather on top of his head. It is a hint to the swamis and yogis that they must meditate on the blue
pearl — the “jewel in the golden lotus” in order to achieve illumination.

The Three Permanent Seeds11

There are three jewels within the body:

1. Physical Permanent Seed – clairvoyantly seen, it looks like a bright red pearl
2. Emotional Permanent Seed – clairvoyantly seen, it looks like a rose red pearl
3. Mental Permanent Seed – clairvoyantly seen, it looks like a bluish violet pearl

Physical Permanent Seed

The physical permanent seed is located in the heart chakra and the physical heart. The physical
permanent seed is actually a physical permanent energy particle. Clairvoyantly, it looks like a
bright red pearl, surrounded
by rainbow colors. The physical permanent seed is like a computer data storage disk and contains
the design and pattern of the physical body and the energy body.
 The silver cord of life

 The design is based on the good and bad karma of the person. Based on the design encoded in
the physical permanent seed, the genes from the father and mother are selected. If a person has a
negative karma to manifest, the defective design is encoded in the physical permanent seed.
The physical permanent seed gives life to the physical body. From the higher Buddha Nature,
spiritual life energy is infused into the physical permanent seed from where it is distributed into
the different parts of the physical body, making the body whole and integrated. It also gives the
physical body the ability to absorb prana. Once the spiritual life energy is withdrawn by the
higher Buddha Nature from the physical permanent seed, the body dies. A highly developed
clairvoyant will know if a person is dying soon just by looking at the condition of the physical
permanent seed. The physical permanent seed becomes dim and pale red when a person is about
to die. When it is withdrawn from the physical body, the body dies.
Before the higher Buddha Nature extends a portion of itself downward to incarnate, it consults
first with an extremely intelligent higher being. With the help of this great and superior being, a
plan or destiny of the person is formulated and encoded in the physical permanent seed. The
physical permanent seed, therefore, contains one’s destiny.
A great yogi or a very good clairvoyant can look at your physical permanent seed and read
your destiny. The pictures will appear in three-dimensional forms. The speed can be very fast,
moderate or very slow, depending upon the will of the clairvoyant. You can compare your life
with the pattern inside the physical permanent seed. Some will be similar; others will be
different. This is because each person has a free will whether to follow the destiny or not.

Emotional Permanent Seed

The emotional permanent seed is found in the solar plexus chakra and in the liver. The
emotional permanent seed is actually an emotional permanent energy particle. It looks like a
pearl that is pinkish rose-red to predominantly rose-red with rainbow colors around it. The
emotional permanent seed is responsible for the design of your emotional body. Why is this
subtle body called the emotional body? Because through this subtle body, a person is able to
experience intense emotions ranging from anger, irritation, fear, love, sweetness and others. With
the use of the emotional body, two lovers in the inner world can unite in intense divine ecstasy.
The emotional body is also called the astral body because it is made of light; it looks like starry
light.
When the body sleeps, a large portion of the incarnated Buddha Nature leaves the physical
body and transfers to the emotional or astral body. There is nothing to be afraid about leaving the
body because a portion of the incarnated Buddha Nature is left behind. Astral traveling is just
like changing cars. You can ride a certain car in the daytime and use another car at night. How is
it possible that a portion of the Buddha Nature can be left behind in the physical body while a
large portion can be in the emotional body? You have to think of the Buddha Nature as a being
of spiritual energy that is fluidic. A portion of it can be here and another portion can be there at
the same time, like electricity.
 The silver cord of emotion

 When the body goes to sleep, you transfer from the physical body to the astral body. This is
done all the time when a person goes to sleep. There are different signs that show you are
transferring to the astral body. Sometimes while sleeping or meditating, the body might feel a
strong energy vibration, and simultaneously there may be an inner sound that can be loud at
times. These are signs that you are about to leave the physical body and transfer into the astral
body. One should not panic nor be frightened; just let go. Since a portion of the incarnated
Buddha Nature is left behind, the body is protected.
Some people, in the process of leaving their physical bodies while asleep would hear a
buzzing sound similar to the bees or a jet plane. Others experience falling to the right or to the
left side of the bed and suddenly are out of their bodies. A few people, when meditating or
sleeping, would sometimes feel a whirling sensation, and would whirl out of their bodies.
Sometimes while sleeping, a person would experience swinging to the left and to the right, even
touching the floor in the process, and then would swing out of the body. These are some of the
processes through which you leave the physical body.
When the physical body dies, the incarnated Buddha Nature transfers to the astral body. In
Sanskrit, the astral body is called Kamakosha. Kama means “emotions” or “desire” while Kosha
refers to the “body.” Kamakosha means the “body of emotions.” It is this subtle body of light
that a person uses to travel in the Bardo. Bardo refers to the different levels of “the inner world”
after transition of the physical body. It is important to remember that in the inner world, the mind
is very powerful. What you think is is.

Mental Permanent Seed

The mental permanent seed is the seed of consciousness, which is located in the crown chakra
and the pineal gland. The mental permanent seed is actually a mental permanent energy particle.
It is the most important “seed.” It contains the pattern for the mental body. Why is this subtle
body called the mental body? Because in this subtle vehicle, knowledge or data equivalent to a
book or several books can be symbolically tossed from one person to another person almost
instantly. In this vehicle, the learning process and communication are accelerated at mind-
boggling speed. This vehicle is capable of feeling and doing other functions, but its main
specialization is receiving, processing, and sending information. On the other hand, the
specialization of the emotional body is that of feeling.
The mental permanent seed also contains all the records of a person’s past lives. This is how
Buddha Shakyamuni was able to see or recall all his past lives.
 The silver cord of consciousness

Fig. 23 The Blue Pearl

 The seed of consciousness or the blue pearl is connected with the higher Buddha Nature, but it
is not the Buddha Nature. The blue pearl is like a computer terminal, while the higher Buddha
Nature is like the mainframe computer. Just as the terminal gives you access to the mainframe
computer, the blue pearl — by meditating on it — gives you access to your higher Buddha
Nature. You can also come in contact with great beings and Spiritual Gurus from whom you can
receive priceless teachings and blessings.

The higher Buddha Nature may appear as a blue person. Should this happen, do not be
surprised. This is why the Medicine Buddha is blue. This is also why in the Indian tradition, Lord
Rama and Lord Krishna also appear blue. This does not mean that they have blue skin, but this is
how they sometimes appear spiritually to the disciples.

Incarnation and Death

The physical permanent seed is attached to the egg when it is fertilized. In about three to four
weeks, the emotional permanent seed is attached to the fetus. After about two weeks, the mental
permanent seed is attached to the fetus.
Connected to these three seeds are three silver cords. Attached to the physical permanent seed
is the silver cord of life; to the emotional permanent seed is the silver cord of emotion; and to the
mental permanent seed is the silver cord of consciousness.
When a person dies, the process is reversed. The physical permanent seed is removed first,
then the emotional permanent seed, and finally the mental permanent seed. The silver cords are
not actually broken but, together with the permanent seeds, are simply unplugged.

Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus

Precautions

Meditation on the Blue Pearl

Practicing the Meditation

Spiritual Experiences
THE LORD PADMASAMBHAVA, as stated in the previous chapter, is usually shown with a
peacock feather on top of his head. He is giving a hint to the high Tibetan lamas and yogis: To
achieve illumination or experience Buddha Nature, they must meditate on the blue pearl — “the
jewel in the golden lotus.” This is the meaning of Om Mani Padme Hum.

Physical Exercises

It is important to do physical exercises before and after meditation. Before meditation, it is

advisable to do about five to ten minutes of physical exercises. The purpose is to clean the
energy centers and the energy channels, so that higher energy, generated by the meditation, can
easily flow through your physical and energy bodies with minimal obstruction. This is important
to avoid or minimize pranic congestion, which will manifest as physical discomfort or problems
during the meditation. You may do any form of exercise that you like: hatha yoga, jogging,
aerobics and others. But it is important that you exercise practically every part of the body.
After meditation, it is important that you do more exercises to get rid of old used-up energy
and to release excess energy generated by the meditation. You may follow the simple exercises
given in Appendix One.

Balancing Breathing Exercise

After the physical exercises, it is important that you do the 6-3-6-3 alternate breathing or
balancing breathing. This breathing technique alternates inhaling and exhaling between the two
nostrils.
The balancing breathing exercise has been practiced by the high lamas. Experiments done in
India show that when a person does this technique, he goes into a calm state in a matter of
minutes. As a result, the pulse rate slows down. This is very good for stress reduction. At the
same time, it increases the energy level. If this technique is done for seven times, the energy
level can expand three or more times the size of a room.
What are the benefits of practicing the balancing breathing technique? Normally, one side of
the brain has more energy. Likewise, one side of the body is usually stronger than the other side.
The balancing breathing technique balances the energy level of the right and left sides of the
brain, and that of the right and left sides of the body. It also cleanses and energizes the whole
energy body, including the chakras and the energy channels.
How is 6-3-6-3 balancing breathing done?
1. Curl the tip of your tongue up your palate.
2. To control the airflow through your nostrils, use the right middle finger or index finger to
close the left nostril and the right thumb to close the right nostril.
3. With your left nostril closed, inhale through the right nostril for six counts.
4. Hold your breath for three counts.
5. Close the right nostril and exhale through the left nostril for six counts.
6. Hold for three counts.
7. Inhale through the left nostril for six counts.
8. Hold for three counts.
9. Close the left nostril and exhale through the right nostril for six counts.
This is one cycle. Do this for seven cycles.

When you practice balancing breathing, do not overdo it. It is advisable to practice it for about
seven cycles per session, with a maximum of three sessions per day. You have to observe
whether your body can handle the energy. If not, practice the technique for only two sessions per
day. If your body still cannot handle the energy, reduce the practice to one session per day. It is
definitely advisable not to do too many of this breathing technique. The adverse effects may not
be felt immediately, but only after a few days. Overdoing the balancing breathing may lead to
kundalini syndrome which may manifest as adverse physical and psychological effects.
Kundalini syndrome is difficult to treat, unless one is lucky enough to meet an experienced and
powerful pranic healer.

Precautions

Meditation on the Mani which is the Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus is much more powerful
than meditating on the light on the Padme – the crown chakra. For this reason, certain
precautions must be taken:

1. A person with a major physical or psychological ailment cannot practice this meditation
everyday because the condition will become worse. The practice of Meditation on the Blue
Pearl magnifies everything.
2. Pregnant women may experiment doing this meditation once a week, only because the
energy it generates is rather potent.
3. It is advisable for terminally ill patients to do this meditation to prepare themselves for
death as an opportunity for spiritual liberation. Their stay in the physical body will be
partially shortened, thus reducing the period of suffering.
4. The physical and psychological conditions of each person vary. If discomforts or adverse
effects are experienced, the practitioner is advised to stop the meditation immediately.

Meditation on the Blue Pearl

1. Physical Exercises and Balancing Breathing Technique

Do physical exercises for about five to 10 minutes. Then do seven cycles of the 6-3-6-3
balancing breathing technique. This will prepare the physical body and energy body for the
meditation.

2. Face east when you do the meditation.

3. Invocation for Divine Blessings

a. Put your hands together at the center of your chest (in front of your heart chakra).
b. Raise your hands above your crown and invoke for divine blessings:

To the Universal Supreme Being,

To Buddha Padmasambhava,
To Buddha Avalokiteshvara,
To Buddha Shakyamuni,
To all the Great Buddhas and Boddhisattvas,
To all the Spiritual Teachers and Spiritual Helpers,
Thank you for the blessings of compassionate,
purifying light and soothing healing energy.
Thank you for the divine guidance, help and protection.

c. With your hands still together, lower them over your crown and say, With gratitude . . .
d. Put your hands on your ajna chakra, between your eyebrows, and say, With respect . . .
e. Put your hands back to the center of the chest and say, With love. With thanks and in full faith.
So be it.

4. Connect your tongue to your palate.

Connecting the tongue to the palate completes the connection between the front and the back
channels in the aura, thus increasing the energy level and its circulation.

5. Concentrate on your crown chakra and heart chakra. Raise your hands with the palms facing
outward.

6. Recite verbally or silently the Prayer of Compassion and Blessings:

May all sentient beings in the higher world,

in the middle world, in the lower world,
in all eight directions, above and below,
be blessed by the Universal Supreme Being,
by Buddha Shakyamuni,
by Buddha Avalokiteshvara,
by Buddha Padmasambhava,
by all the Great Buddhas and Boddhisattvas.

May all sentient beings be blessed

with compassionate, purifying light,
and soothing healing energy.
May all sentient beings be soothed
of their pain, sorrow and suffering.
May all sentient beings be blessed
with good health, happiness, spirituality,
 illumination, abundance and prosperity.

May the mind of all sentient beings be blessed

with divine light, wisdom and discernment.
May the heart of all sentient beings be blessed
with divine love, with warmness,
sweetness and compassion for all.
May the will of all sentient beings be blessed
with divine power, with inner strength
to do what is right and to refrain from
unwholesome actions and behaviours.

7. Locate the seed of consciousness.

Imagine a line passing from the upper tip of your right ear to the upper tip of your left ear.
Imagine also a line passing from between your eyebrows to the back of your head. The
intersecting point of these two cross lines is where the pineal gland is located, where the seed of
consciousness or the blue pearl is located. This is the approximate point. Be aware of the area
above the tongue, above your palate. Very gently and slowly move towards the center of your
head. Move towards the intersecting point of these two imaginary lines. Gently locate an area
where you will experience inner peace, inner stillness and divine bliss. Do not use your will. Do
not overconcentrate. Just relax. There is no hurry. Gently explore and locate this spot. When you
have found the right spot, you will automatically experience inner stillness, inner peace and
divine bliss. Take your time.

8. Be aware of the stillness, the peace and the bliss.

With gentle concentration, be aware of this inner peace, stillness and divine bliss. Continue
your meditation for one to two minutes. Do not use force. Maintain your awareness, but be
focused at the same time. In the stillness, you will eventually experience your Buddha Nature.

9. Gently concentrate and be aware of the golden flame.

Simultaneously, imagine a golden flame. Inside the golden flame is the blue pearl. It is where
the inner peace, stillness and bliss are located. Why a golden flame? This will increase your
sensitivity and enable you to experience oneness faster. Look at the golden flame. Gently
concentrate and be aware of the golden flame. Be aware simultaneously of the inner peace, the
inner bliss and the stillness within you. Let go and flow.
Should the golden light change to another color(s), it is all right. Do not try to change the
color.

10. a) Silently chant the Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.

Continue concentrating in the center of your head and on the golden flame. Retain your hand
position. Gently chant, verbally or mentally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum once. Chanting of
the mantra must be done lovingly and compassionately.
Om Mani Padme Hum . . .
b) Maintain your stillness.
After chanting, maintain your awareness and inner stillness. Simultaneously, continue
visualizing the golden flame.
11. Release excess energy by blessing
Gently return to your body and move your fingers. After the meditation, raise your hands with
palms facing outward. Imagine a small earth in front of you. Release the excess energy for three
to five minutes by blessing the entire earth and silently saying:

May the entire earth be blessed

with divine light, divine love, divine power.
May every sentient being be blessed
with happiness, good health, success,
spirituality, abundance, and prosperity.
Blessings be to all.

12. Release excess energy by rooting.

Gently be aware of your feet or the base of your spine. Gently bless the earth either through
your feet or through the base of your spine. Imagine light going down three meters or 10 feet
deep into the earth. Bless the earth and silently say:

Let Mother Earth be blessed

with divine light, love and power.
Let Mother Earth be revitalized and regenerated.
Let Mother Earth be blessed
with good air, good water and good earth.
Blessings be to beloved Mother Earth.

It is important to be rooted to Mother Earth to maintain one’s practicality. Do this for about
two to three minutes.

13. Apply distributive sweeping.

After doing this meditation, you must sweep the excess energy from the head area so your
body does not get sick.
a) With both hands, sweep the excess energy from the crown to the front of the head, down to
the trunk of your body, to your right leg and your left leg. Do this seven times.
b) Using your right hand, sweep the excess energy from the crown to the left side of your
head, down to your left arm. Next, using your left hand, sweep the excess energy from the
crown to the right side of your head, down to your right arm. Do this seven times.
c) Visualize the back of your body and sweep the excess energy from the crown to the back of
the head, down to the spine. Do this seven times.
d) If your head is still congested, do more distributive sweeping.

14. Give thanks.

Close the meditation with a thanksgiving prayer.
a. Put your hands together at the center of your chest (in front of your heart chakra).
b. Raise your hands above your crown and say a prayer of thanksgiving:

To the Universal Supreme Being,

To Buddha Padmasambhava,
To Buddha Avalokiteshvara,
 To Buddha Shakyamuni,
To all the Great Buddhas and Boddhisattvas
To all the Spiritual Teachers and Spiritual Helpers,
Thank you all for your priceless blessings.

c. With your hands still together, lower them over your crown and say, With gratitude . . .
d. Put your hands on your ajna chakra, between your eyebrows, and say, With respect . . .
e. Put your hands back to the center of the chest and say, With love. With thanks and in full
faith. So be it.

15. Further release of excess energy through more physical exercises and massaging.
It is important to shake the body and do more physical exercises after the meditation. It is also
advisable to massage the different parts of the body, especially the areas of the liver and kidneys.
This is to further release the excess energy, expel used-up energy from the body, and thus
cleanse and strengthen it. This will also facilitate the assimilation of fresh pranic and spiritual
energies, thereby enhancing the beauty and health of the practitioner. Massaging and exercising
after meditation also reduce the possibility of pranic congestion in certain parts of the body,
which may lead to illness.

Practicing the Meditation

Practice the Meditation on the Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus once or twice a week for about
10 to 15 minutes only. Do not overdo this meditation because it is very powerful. Should the
spiritual disciple experience certain physical and/or psychological problems, he is advised to rest
for a few days or weeks until the condition normalizes.

Spiritual Experiences

During the meditation, you may clearly see the golden flame or even the blue pearl. You may
experience expanding as a being of light in all directions or your head becoming very bright or
bursting with light. Or you may also get sucked into the blue pearl and your consciousness
catapulted to the higher world. You may also experience divine bliss and divine oneness. This
may take a few weeks, a few months, a few years or a few decades. Each person is different.

The Buddha Nature and the Real Self

The term “Self” or “Soul”, as used by the author, is very different from the way it is
commonly used or understood. Sometimes, people identify themselves as the physical body.
That is why they say, “I am hungry” or “I am thirsty.”
The body however, is “not the Self” or “not the Soul.” It is a vehicle of the Soul. This is the
significance of the word anatta in Pali or anatma in Sanskrit, which means “not the Self” or “not
the Soul.”
Most people identify the Self, the I or the Atma as the thoughts and the emotions. The reader
has to remember that a carpenter can produce a lot of furniture, but the carpenter is not the
furniture. The Self or the Soul can create a lot of thoughts and emotions, but these thoughts and
emotions are not the Soul. The thoughts and the emotions are anatta or anatma. They are not the
Self or the Soul.
Sometimes, people identify themselves with the different subtle bodies which have their own
consciousnesses. They are anatta or anatma. The consciousnesses of the physical body and the
subtle bodies are collectively called the “mind” in common language.12 People identify
themselves with the mind. The mind is a subtle instrument of the Buddha Nature or the Soul.
But, it is not the Soul itself, just as the computer is your instrument, but you are not the computer
itself.
Most people think the Soul or the Buddha Nature is a separate being — a separate individual
being. This is true and not true at the same time. How can this be? How can something be true
and not true at the same time?
To understand this, one has to understand the Principle of Paradox. Within Yang is Yin and
within Yin is also Yang. Although a man is masculine, within him is also a certain degree of
femininity. A woman is feminine, yet within her is also a certain degree of masculinity.
From oneness comes creation and diversity. Within creation and diversity is spiritual oneness.
Within individuality is oneness and within oneness is also individuality. Although there is
individuality, spiritual separation is an illusion. Although there is physical separation, spiritually
there is only Oneness.
When a yogi or spiritual practitioner truly realizes that he is neither the body nor the thoughts
or the emotions, nor the mind, that there is no separation and actually no separate I, he will
experience this great expansion of emptiness. Eventually, the yogi or meditator may experience
divine bliss, divine oneness, expansion of consciousness and expansive brilliant light —
constantly expanding and expanding and expanding.
Yes, there is Atma, the Self or the Soul, but not as understood by the common people. This
real Self or the real Soul is what is called the Buddha Nature within you.
The difference between the real Self and the Buddha Nature is only in the spelling. These are
like two fingers of two friends pointing at the same moon. Do not get stuck looking at the finger.
Look at the moon. These two spiritual friends are Lord Buddha Shakyamuni and Sri Adi
Shankara who are well-known for their teachings of “Not the Self” and spiritual Oneness. The
Lord Buddha Shakyamuni taught in the Magadhi language.13 The concept of Not the Self (not
the Soul), was transcribed as anatta in Pali and anatma in Sanskrit. Later, Sri Adi Shankara also
taught anatma in Sanskrit, which also means Not the Self (not the Soul). This concept of Not the
Self (not the Soul) was later misunderstood and distorted as “no self” or “no soul.” Sri Adi
Shankara taught the concept of anatma in his treatise “Atmanatma Vivekam” contained in the
book, Sri Sankara Grandha Ratnavali. The concept of anatma is also taught in chapter 2, verse 7
(2.7) of the Taittiriya Upanishad.
This topic is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend; therefore, it is necessary to meditate
over and over on what has been written.

Location of the Incarnated Buddha Nature14

When the higher soul (higher Buddha Nature) wants to incarnate, it extends a portion of itself
“downward,” manifesting as the incarnated soul (incarnated Buddha Nature). The incarnated soul
is connected to the higher soul by a spiritual cord. On the seventh month of pregnancy, the
incarnated soul is lodged in the fetus. On what part of the “body” is the incarnated soul lodged?
The incarnated soul is lodged in the 12th chakra, one foot above the head. The 12th chakra looks
like a point of white light in an ordinary person. When the person becomes spiritually evolved,
the point of white light transforms into a golden star or golden seed, then into a golden ball or
golden bud with flame. In Christian terminology, this is called the Pentecostal fire (Acts 2:1-4).
In Kabbalah, the 12th chakra is called Ain Soph Aur which means “Infinite Light.” This is why
some of the highly developed Buddhist or Taoist monks are shown with the golden ball of flame
one foot above their head.
When a lama or yogi evolves to a much higher level, the 12th chakra rotates rapidly
alternately clockwise and counterclockwise. The golden bud “blooms” and opens up like a
“small golden lotus flower.” The image of the golden lotus flower is generated by the interaction
of subtle energy moving alternately clockwise and counterclockwise. As the person becomes an
arhat or evolves to a higher level, the 12th chakra becomes a bigger golden lotus flower.
The incarnated soul is predominantly located in the 12th chakra. From the 12th chakra it
radiates outward, forming the aura. Through the divine cord, the three silver cords and the three
permanent seeds, the different bodies (the physical body, the energy body, the astral body and
the mental body) are infused with the essence of the incarnated soul. Just as the etheric body
interpenetrates the physical body, meaning it is inside and outside the physical body, likewise,
the essence of the incarnated soul interpenetrates the physical body; at the same time, it is
beyond the physical body. The soul is inside the body and outside the body simultaneously. If
you put a sponge in a bathtub filled with water, the water is inside and outside the sponge. In
other words, the sponge is inside the water. The physical body, energy body, astral body and
lower mental body are all inside the incarnated soul. Therefore, it would be accurate to define a
person as a soul with a physical body, rather than a physical body with a soul. To express this
more accurately, a person is a soul with a physical body and other subtle bodies.

 Fig. 27 The 12th Chakra of a Tibetan Lama
The 12th chakra of a Spiritually Illuminated Person spiritually seen as a Golden lotus flower
 The soul, as seen from the point of lower clairvoyance, is spiritual energy which is fluidic in
nature. But from the perspective of higher spiritual clairvoyance, the soul is radiatory and is
omnipresent within a certain “radius of space.”
The development of the soul can be accelerated by practicing the five virtues, doing service,
having proper relationships with other people and through regular practice of meditation.

The True Meaning of Padmasambhava

In Taoism, the 12th chakra is called the spiritual fetus. The term is used to show that a
person’s spiritual development is minimal. In the case of Guru Rinpoche, the story of his birth —
that of being born of the lotus flower as an eight-year old boy — is a symbolic representation of
the degree of his spiritual development. On the seventh month of pregnancy, when the Lord
Padmasambhava’s incarnated soul was lodged in the 12th chakra, his 12th chakra was already
fully activated, manifesting as a huge golden lotus flower. This means that at the moment of
incarnation, the Lord Padmasambhava was completely illuminated and did not require any
physical guru. Thus, the true meaning of Padmasambhava — “to be spiritually born of the lotus
flower” — is to be born fully illuminated. In other words, the Lord Padmasambhava’s incarnated
soul was lodged spiritually in a huge golden lotus. While in an ordinary person, the incarnated
soul that is lodged in the 12th chakra is only a point of light, not even a golden bud of flame. The
Great Lord Padmasambhava was indeed spiritually born of the lotus flower.
 Fig. 28 The Lord Padmasambhava was spiritually born of the Lotus Flower.

His 12th chakra was already fully activated, manifesting as a huge golden lotus flower at the moment of incarnation. This
means that he was born fully illuminated and did not require any physical guru.

Note: This is only a graphic representation of Lord Padmasambhava’s crown chakra. The actual size of his crown chakra is
many, many times bigger than the one shown above.
 In the Taoist book “Techniques of Immortality,” there is a drawing of a Buddhist monk
meditating on the 12th chakra, shown also as a lotus flower above the head of the meditator. The
Egyptian High Priest Nefertem, a previous incarnation of Padmasambhava, is also shown with a
lotus flower on top of his head. All of these symbolize that the person is already illuminated.
 Fig. 29 The Chief High Priest Nefertem,
according to Egyptian tradition, was also born of the Lotus Flower.

An incarnation of Padmasambhava, Nefertem is usually depicted in paintings as a young person with a lotus flower on top of
his head. He was also born fully illuminated and did not require any physical guru.
 Fig. 30 A Buddhist Monk doing Advanced Spiritual Practice to develop the Spiritual Fetus in the 12th Chakra

The Spiritual fetus is a symbolic term for Buddha Nature or the “incarnated Soul” that is lodged in the 12th chakra. This
illustration was taken from a Taoist book “Cultivating the Energy of Life” written by Liu Hua-yang and translated by Eva Wong.
It is based on the book “Hui-ming ching.” The text Hui-ming ching is part of the book ‘Wu-Liu, Hsien-Tsung” (Techniques of
Immortality by Wu and Liu) by Taoist masters Wu Chung-hsiu and Liu Hua-yang.
 Very few people on earth, including great spiritual teachers, can claim to be born of the lotus
flower, or to be completely illuminated upon birth.
Advanced spiritual techniques to develop the 12th chakra and the spiritual fetus are part of
higher Taoist practices. Similar spiritual techniques are also practiced by the yogis and siddhas in
India. As stated earlier, Lord Padmasambhava is a Mahaguru of Gurus. Under his direct and
indirect tutelage are Taoist immortals and yogis, the siddhas and mahasiddhas in India, and other
great spiritual teachers from other traditions.
For thousands of years, these spiritual teachings and practices have been kept secret from the
masses who were mostly unevolved and illiterate. These conditions have changed substantially.
We live in an era where “iron birds” fly and “electronic brains” are commonly used to process
and transmit massive amounts of information. It is time to reveal these secrets to people who
“hunger and thirst” for the priceless teachings and practices. It is time for some of the inner
termas — the inner treasures to be scattered all over the world.
Truth is dynamic. There are different levels and facets of truth. The author has presented a
higher level of truth. But there are still other higher levels of truths that have not been revealed.
These higher teachings and spiritual practices may be revealed by the author or by other great
spiritual teachers in the future.

Buddha and the 12th Chakra

Upon achieving his Great Enlightenment, the Lord Buddha thought that this great Teaching
(Dharma) would be too difficult for people to understand. He was reluctant to teach this great
Dharma. Brahma Sahampati requested the Blessed One to teach it. The Lord Buddha looked with
his spiritual eye at the Earth. He saw that there were many lotus flowers that were rising up from
the muddy pond and they were blooming.15
These lotus flowers are the arhats or the saints who have achieved lesser illumination. The
lotus flower is actually the 12th chakra spiritually blooming. This is seen as the monk sitting on a
lotus flower above his own head (Fig. 30, p. 93) in the Taoist book, “Cultivating the Energy of
Life”, written by Liu Hua-yang.
“The Lord Buddha within his lifetime produced 10 great disciples, 18 senior arhats and 1,200
arhats. The 18 senior arhats, in turn, produced 16,000 arhats. These arhats are actually the lotus
buds that rose out of the muddy water and bloomed, achieving illumination. The blooming of the
lotus buds is actually the blossoming of the souls.”16

More About The Lord Padmasambhava

According to stories, the Lord Padmasambhava was born in a huge lake of fire. This should
not be taken literally. It is not a physical lake of fire, but is a spiritual lake of fire. The lake of fire
is actually the gigantic crown chakra of the Lord Padmasambhava. This lake of fire is so large
that the head of Lord Padmasambhava cannot be seen. On a subtle level, it is seen as a
shimmering golden lake of fire. On a higher level, the crown chakra is seen as a shimmering blue
lake of fire.
As stated earlier, on the seventh month of pregnancy, when the Lord Padmasambhava
incarnated on the 12th chakra, the chakra was already fully activated, manifesting as a huge fiery
golden lotus flower. To clarify this, the energy of the 12th chakra is seen moving clockwise and
counterclockwise, and also simultaneously moving up and down. When the energy moves
upward in clockwise and counterclockwise motion, it is seen as a fiery whirling lotus flower that
is facing upward. As the energy descends and is moving in a clockwise and counterclockwise
motion, it produces an inverted fiery lotus flower. These two fiery lotus flowers occur almost
simultaneously and are connected to each other; therefore, the 12th chakra is seen as a double-
sided fiery lotus flower. The 12th chakra when seen at a subtle level, is seen as a shimmering
fiery golden lotus flower. At a higher spiritual level, it is seen as a shimmering fiery blue lotus
flower. Guru Rinpoche was “born of the lotus flower at the spiritual age of 8.” To understand
this, we have to understand that there are different stages of spiritual development.
 Fig. 32 Lord Padmasambhava was born in a spiritual lake of fire.

This lake of fire is the gigantic crown chakra of Lord Padmasambhava. On a subtle level it is seen as a subtle fiery golden
lotus flower with shimmering white light and a slight tinge of other colors. The 12th chakra on a subtle level is seen as a

chakra is seen as a double-sided fiery lotus flower.

facing upward. As the energy descends and is moving in a clockwise and counterclockwise motion, it produces an inverted fiery

chakra is seen as a double-sided fiery lotus flower.
 In the first stage, the 12th chakra is just a point of light. This is the level of an ordinary person.
At the second level of spiritual development, the 12th chakra is seen as a golden bud or a golden
flame. The golden bud may be of different sizes. At this level, a person is considered a spiritual
fetus because the soul is not sufficiently mature. In some instances at this level, a person may be
considered a probationary disciple.
In the third level of spiritual development, the 12th chakra has developed into a small fiery
golden lotus flower. The golden lotus flower is rapidly rotating clockwise and counterclockwise.
This corresponds to a first level disciple and is symbolically represented by an infant.
An Arhat or fourth level disciple is symbollically represented as a four-year-old child. An
Asekha or Holy Master in Buddhism is a fifth level disciple and is represented as a five-year-old
child. A Chohan is symbolized as a six-year-old child. A Boddhisatva is symbollically
represented as a seven-year-old child. A Buddha is symbollically represented as an eight-year-
old child.
In different traditions, the different levels of development are called by different names. In
Christian tradition, the Buddhas and Boddhisattvas are called the twenty-four Spiritual Elders
seated beside the throne of God in the book of Revelations. (Revelations 4:4).
In Jainism, the twenty-four Boddhisattvas and Buddhas are called the twenty-four
Tirthankaras.
In Hinduism, they are called MahaAvatars. Lord Padmasambhava was MahaAvatar Lord
Rama in his past life.
Guru Rinpoche was born spiritually of the lotus flower at the age of eight; therefore, Lord
Padmasambhava was born already a buddha.

The Law of Karma

The Golden Rule

 WHEN YOU DO MEDITATIONS, you have to practice character building. Without it, there
is a tendency to become worse. Why? After you have had a good meditation, you feel blissful,
right? But after two to three days, have you not experienced getting angry or being in a bad
mood? Meditating regularly is like being fertilized. Throw the fertilizer on the ground, and
whatever is in the ground — either good or bad seeds — will grow. Everything, whether vice or
virtue, is magnified. Unless a person in the spiritual path practices character-building, he may
tend to become worse.

When the virtues are highly developed, it means that the higher Buddha Nature has greater
connection or control over the incarnated Buddha Nature and the body. During prayer or
meditation, the spiritual cord becomes big. When a person is working, it becomes much smaller.
This means that the spiritual upliftment is temporary. Every time a person breaks the virtues, the
connection becomes thinner. When you do what you are supposed to do, the spiritual cord
becomes bigger. Every time you refrain from unwholesome action, the connection with your
higher Buddha Nature increases.
A master once said that vices and weaknesses are like mud that keeps you stuck when you are
trying to climb the spiritual ladder. If you do not purify yourself, the mud hardens and you
cannot go up anymore. You may even tend to go down. That is why it is very important to
develop one’s character.
The Buddha Nature is a being of

1. Divine intelligence
2. Divine love
3. Divine power

These qualities manifest as the five virtues:

Divine intelligence manifests as:

1. accurate perception and correct expression and nonfalsehood (honesty and non-lying)
Divine love manifests as:

2. loving-kindness and non-injury

3. generosity and non-stealing
Divine power manifests as self-mastery. This is divided into two sets of virtues:

4. moderation and non-excessiveness

5. constancy of aim and effort (industriousness), and nonlaziness

These virtues are classified under the different aspects of the Buddha Nature, but they are all
interconnected. The mastery of one virtue requires the mastery of the other virtues. Character
building is very important. No mastery of virtues means no spiritual development.

Loving-kindness and Non-injury

Loving-kindness and non-injury means absence of cruelty and ill will. These virtues come in
pairs, yang and yin, that correspond to “do’s” and “don’ts.” Loving-kindness is practicing
compassion and kindness. It may be expressed physically, verbally and mentally. Being polite,
courteous and helpful are acts of loving-kindness. Verbally, you can use nurturing and
encouraging words. People are just like plants that need to be nurtured to bloom and grow. For
example, you can show appreciation or give recognition for a person’s achievements. In this
way, he will be inspired to become better. On the mental level, loving-kindness means gently and
patiently guiding other people. On the spiritual level, it means blessing other people and sentient
beings.
A teacher named Annie Besant lived about a hundred years ago. She practiced loving-kindness
by checking out the newspapers for people who had problems and needed help. Using her yogic
powers, she blessed them so they would have a better life. If you are a healer, you can do the
same thing by looking for people with problems and doing distant healing on them.
Non-injury means avoiding physical violence, as well as verbal and mental violence. On a
physical level, non-injury means “Thou shalt not kill” or refraining from hurting other people out
of anger or malice. The practice of harmlessness towards other creatures is also very important.
Sometimes, however, a person may have to take the life of an animal to provide food for his
family. The act of killing animals for food should not involve any cruelty, malice or enjoyment
in seeing the animal suffer. It should be done as painlessly and as quickly as possible.
Psychological trauma and physical pain must be reduced to the minimum. Man’s inhumanity and
cruelty to the animal kingdom must be stopped as soon as possible. How can we call ourselves
human if we allow this barbaric act to continue? In order to minimize the suffering of animals, it
is advisable to become a vegetarian at least most of the time. The termination of rats,
cockroaches, mosquitoes, and insects is permissible for hygienic reasons.

Verbal non-injury is avoiding the use of harsh or injurious words which can cause deep
emotional pain that often takes a longer time to heal than physical injury. A physical wound
takes only one or two weeks to heal, but a psychological wound caused by a tactless or malicious
remark can take years to heal, if they get healed at all. Therefore, watch your words that they do
not hurt others. If you have to criticize another person, do it with love and softness. In other
words, criticize with a heart. You will notice that this is more effective because the person will
be more receptive.
On a more subtle level, non-injury means minimizing or abstaining from internal anger,
hatred, ugly thoughts, enviousness and excessive mental criticism. Strive to practice mental
harmlessness. A person may not be physically and verbally injurious, but internally he may be
furious, filled with violent thoughts, or is always criticizing the faults and defects of other
people, or even wishing bad things to happen to them.
The concept of non-injury to people is important. But what is equally important is practicing
non-injury towards one’s self. By smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol excessively, and
overworking, one may damage one’s body and, in the process, may die early. If a person has a
family and dies early, the emotional damage done to the children and partner is terrible. Also, the
financial strain imposed on the family is heavy. Before one continues damaging one’s physical
body through bad habits such as smoking, drinking and overworking, one should ask one’s self,
“Do I really care about my family? Do I care about the feelings of my children in case something
happens to me?” These are indeed serious questions that one must meditate on.
Taking prohibited drugs is also extremely damaging, not only physically but also
psychologically. People who take dangerous drugs should consider the psychological effects of
their behaviour towards their parents, grandparents and other loved ones. Is this the proper thing
to do to people who have been supportive of you? Is this the proper way to show gratitude to
those people to whom you are indebted?
Loving-kindness and non-injury are necessary for proper and harmonious inter-human
relationships. If everybody practices them, the world would be a better place to live in.

Generosity and Non-Stealing

Generosity means sharing or giving. On the physical level, it is sharing or giving things or
money wisely. The key to prosperity is in giving. If you have financial problems, the way to
become prosperous is by using the Law of Karma through the practice of generosity and non-
stealing. If you want to receive, you have to give. If you have not planted something, how can
you harvest any thing? If you have not planted negative seeds, you will not harvest negative
fruits. The Law of Karma gives you the ability to create your own destiny. Just think for a few
moments what you want in life. In general, whatever you want, that is what you give.

If you want to be rich and prosperous, you have to practice generosity and non-stealing first.
At the same time, practice moderation and non-excessiveness. Live moderately by living within
your means. Budget your money. After tax and tithing, save 20% to 30% of what you earn. Save
and invest. If you ask some people how they became rich, they will tell you that they have saved
and invested their money.
On the emotional level, you can be generous by being warm, nurturing and supportive. Some
people do not give love, but they expect to be loved. If you want love, you have to give love.
You have to be like the sun, constantly radiating. It is up to other people whether they want to
have the sunbath. Some will accept your love, while others may not. That is their problem, not
yours.
 Mentally, you can share knowledge and skills to people who are ready and willing to learn.
You will notice that your understanding of a certain subject becomes deeper when you do this. If
you want to master a subject matter, teach it. Give and you shall receive. This is the law.
Non-stealing means that a person should not take anything that does not belong to him. On the
level of relationships, one should not steal affection or covet the spouse of another. It also means,
on a more subtle level, that one should not steal the merit or credit due to other people. Mental
work is as real as physical work. In many instances, mental work requires considerable effort,
energy and time. One must practice non-stealing not only in relation to physical properties, but
also in relation to intellectual properties.

Accurate Perception and Correct Expression and Non-Falsehood

The soul is a being of divine intelligence. This quality manifests as accurate perception,
correct expression and non-falsehood. Accurate perception means “to see things as they are.”
Correct expression means “to respond accordingly.” This is not limited to verbal expression.
Correct expression may be in any form — physical, mental or emotional. A decision is a form of
expression. Managing an event or a company is a form of expression. Thus, one can see that this
virtue is extremely broad.
Under the virtues of accurate perception, correct expression and non-falsehood, the following
qualities are to be developed:

1. Honesty and non-lying

a) to others, and
b) to one’s self
2. Balancing the virtue of honesty and non-lying with lovingkindness and non-injury
3. Different levels of truth and its facets
4. Discernment or discrimination and non-superstitiousness
5. Humility, gratitude and respect and non-conceitedness
6. Fulfilling one’s commitment and non-irresponsibility
7. Skillfulness in action and non-panic reaction
In its lowest form, accurate perception, correct expression and non-falsehood manifest as:

1. Honesty and Non-Lying

There are different levels of honesty. Practice the mature type of honesty towards other people
and towards yourself. Do not lie to yourself.
If you want to understand very deep spiritual teachings or develop sharpness and clarity of
mind, you must practice honesty towards other people and yourself. This is very important.
Why? When a person lies or fools other people, he generates the negative karma of distorting the
perceptions of other people. Consequently, his own perceptions will be distorted. That is why
when he is presented with a simple truth, he cannot understand it. Understanding truth under
such condition is not karmically permissible. Why is it not karmically permissible? Because the
person keeps on lying.

2. Balancing the Virtue of Honesty and Non-lying with Loving-Kindness and Non-Injury
What you call truth may only be partially true and if you express it, the result may be
disastrous. Let us say that the son of an 80-year old mother died of AIDS. Would you tell the old,
sickly mother that her favorite son was a homosexual who died of AIDS? Is that mature honesty?
No. Why? It goes against the virtue of loving-kindness and non-injury. Revealing the
information will cause tremendous emotional and physical injury. A yogi who is intelligent
would think, “If I were to say this, I would cause tremendous damage to the mother. That would
be unkind. I’ll just say her son died of a lung infection.” In doing so, he will still be able to let
the mother know about the death of her son without unnecessarily causing more emotional pain.
One should not use honesty out of malice or as a tool or weapon to cause emotional pain and
injury. This is misusing the virtue of honesty. If there is a conflict between the virtue of honesty
and the virtue of kindness and non-injury, kindness and non-injury should prevail.

Non-lying means that one should not make untrue or false statements out of malice or with the
intent to take advantage of other people.

3. Different Levels of Truth and its Facets

Avoid all unnecessary lies. The word “unnecessary” is used because what you call truth may
not be truth at all. It may be a half-truth. Sometimes, half-truths or partial truths could be
extremely injurious and dangerous, so one must be very careful. There are different levels of
truth and under these levels of truth are different facets of truth. For example, let us say that
circle A is the first level of truth; in Pilipino, this is called tama. Circle B which contains part of
circle A is the higher level of truth and is called wasto. Circle C which contains circles A and B
is the highest level of truth. It is called tumpak in Pilipino.
Truth is not only limited to three levels. There could be many levels of truth. Truth is dynamic.
It is not static. From this you can see that the matter is rather complicated. Not only are there
different levels of truth, but there are also different ways of looking at truth. Truth is like a jewel;
it is multi-faceted. At each level of truth, there are at least seven ways of looking at truth. It
would require a chapter or a book to explain this in detail so it will not be discussed here.
Truth is beyond correct information. It is being able to see different facets and levels of a
certain event or object, and to act accordingly, properly and kindly. Accurate perception must
always be balanced. Fanatical attitudes or stands are extremely dangerous and usually very
injurious, and therefore must be avoided.
Fig. 36 Different Levels of Truth

Truth is dynamic, not static.

4. Discernment or Discrimination and Non-Superstitiousness
It is very important that when one is studying a certain subject, one must practice
discrimination or discernment. One should not just mentally swallow everything left and right
simply because a guru or somebody said so, or because it is written in a book. To swallow
everything that one sees or hears would be complete disaster. It is important that one should
study the subject matter thoroughly, check whether it is reasonable, and try to experiment. Based
on reasoning, on the results of the experiment and through experience, one can decide whether it
is correct, partially correct or incorrect.
The Lord Buddha said:

We must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they
have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumours, as such; nor writings by sages,
because sages wrote them; nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a
Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration); nor from inferences drawn from some
haphazard assumptions we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical
necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when
the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. For
this . . . I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard, but when you believe of
your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly.

One must avoid superstitious beliefs, not only in esoteric subjects, but also in any field of
knowledge. Everything must be questioned and tested, if possible. In certain areas where it is not
possible to check the validity of a certain concept, if somebody with a good track record states it,
then one can consider that statement as “temporary truth” until one is in a position to validate it
in the future.

5. Humility, Gratitude and Respect and Non-Conceitedness

In interacting with a spiritual teacher, one must practice humility and non-conceitedness.
Humility comes from self-esteem. It comes from being aware of one’s good points as well as
one’s weaknesses and deficiencies. People with self-esteem tend to be humble. People with low
self-esteem tend to be extremely conceited. When interacting with the spiritual guru one must be
humble; otherwise, it is impossible to learn. The guru will not teach the student anything.
There should be gratitude and respect because without the guru, spiritual progress is very
slow. The spiritual debt to the guru is very heavy and that is very difficult to repay. A student
should feel extreme gratitude and respect to the guru because of the tremendous benefits and
blessings he has received and will continue to receive.
When interacting with one’s guru, although there should be humility, respect and gratitude, the
student should have an objective, discerning mind. Teachings and practices may be questioned,
but this should be done politely, not in a rude manner. A disciple has the right to question or to
practice discernment, but not the right to be rude.

6. Fulfilling One’s Commitment and Non-Irresponsibility

Before making a commitment, one must look into the matter very thoroughly, whether one is
in a position to fulfill it. If not, one should not promise or commit anything. Once a commitment
or promise has been made, it should be kept as much as possible. If a person says that he can
handle a certain task, he should fulfill it. Not to do so is a sign of irresponsibility or lack of
reliability.

7. Skillfulness in Action and Non-Panic Reaction

A person who is skillful in action is supposed to remain calm and see things accurately, even
in times of crisis. He should ask simple questions such as: “What is exactly happening?”, “What
is the worst thing that can happen?”, “What are the possible choices?” Just by asking these
simple questions, a person will be able to decide on the best course of action and act accordingly.
To be able to achieve greatness, one should be able to withstand crisis or pressure.
The virtue of accurate perception, correct expression and nonfalsehood is extremely broad.
Just to elaborate on it thoroughly may require volumes of books. For example, in the judiciary
system, a person who is accused of a certain crime must be entitled to the “due process” of law.
Due process is connected with the virtue of accurate perception and correct expression in the
judiciary field. In business, this virtue means proper business management. Accurate perception
may be expressed through market-testing, knowing exactly the condition of the industry and the
strong points and weaknesses of the competitors. Correct expression comes through the
formulation of business strategies that are required to act accordingly to a given situation. In the
field of science, accurate perception means basic research; correct expression is connected with
technology or practical application of science. Accurate perception and correct expression is also
connected with higher clairvoyance, which requires years of training. In yoga, accurate
perception is connected with Jnana Yoga or the Yoga of Understanding; correct expression is
connected with Karma Yoga, the Yoga of Action, the Yoga of Service. As stated earlier, the
virtue of accurate perception and correct expression would require volumes of books if we go
into more details.

Moderation and Non-Excessiveness

Moderation and non-excessiveness is also known as self-mastery. It is important that one

should avoid extreme or excessive behaviour and practice moderation. Financially, moderation
and non-excessiveness means that one should avoid excessive and wasteful spending. If possible,
one should save and invest about 20% to 30% of one’s net earnings after tax and tithing. This is
one of the keys to prosperity.
To enjoy life, to have fun, to work, and to have sex are all good. But these have to be done in
moderation.
Sex energy, when transmuted, serves as food for the higher centers. When this happens, the
person becomes more intelligent and spiritual. However, when a person has a negative attitude
towards sex, the sex energy cannot flow up to feed the upper centers. As a result, achieving
spiritual illumination is very difficult, if not almost impossible. Having a puritanical attitude
towards sex hampers spiritual development. This is a serious problem among priests, swamis,
lamas, yogis and all kinds of religious people.
 As long as your attitude towards sex is normal, the upward and downward flow of energy is
constant and automatic. There are two schools of thought — the puritanical school that says sex
is dirty, and the liberal school that allows you to do sexually whatever you like. The moment you
have a negative attitude, the sex energy is stuck and as a result cannot go up to feed the upper
chakras. This may physically manifest as myoma in the reproductive organs or something more
serious. On the other hand, having excessive sex is not advisable since there is hardly enough sex
energy to go up to feed the upper centers. Most of it would have already been used. Both cases
are therefore harmful. Take the middle path instead — the path of moderation and balance. Since
sex energy is food for the upper chakras, there has to be moderation in engaging in the sex act.
Enjoy sex intensely, but moderately.
There is an important factor in spiritual practice that is not written in books but which occurs
frequently. When you meditate, higher energy comes down and goes to the sex and basic
chakras. When this occurs, the person gets very sexually excited. There is a dramatic change in
the breathing pattern that reflects sexual excitement. There are three possible reactions: you can
either react in a puritanical manner, or just allow the sex drive to literally overwhelm you. Both
are undesirable. But if you have a positive attitude, you can take this as an opportunity to achieve
illumination and divine oneness. You realize that the divine energy has come down to the sex
and basic areas. This means that kundalini energy is about to go up to the crown chakra.
Practice stillness and awareness. Do not suppress the sexual desire; just let the sexual
excitement or sex energy flow to the upper chakras. Connect the tongue to the palate and do the
Chin mudra to facilitate transmutation of sex energy. The Chin mudra is done by bending the
forefinger and connecting its tip to the tip of the thumb. Do this mudra with both hands for as
long as necessary. This may last for 30 minutes or even longer. The moment you do these things,
the kundalini and sex energies will flow to the upper chakras up to the crown chakra. This will
result in a certain degree of spiritual experience. The key is to transmute, not to suppress.
Do not use the Chin mudra all the time because it means “no money.” The basic chakra which
is connected with earning a living becomes small. This means difficulty in earning money.

Constancy of Aim and Effort and Non-Laziness

There’s a story about a spiritual aspirant who was looking for a guru all over India. One day,
he saw a guru meditating near a lake. He sat beside the teacher and waited. Finally, the guru
opened his eyes and said, “What can I do for you?” The student answered, “I would like to
achieve illumination in a very short period of time.” The guru said, “Very good, my son.” Then
he held the head of the student and put it into the water. Finally, when the student was almost
drowning, he pulled him by the head. He asked the student, “What did you desire most when you
were drowning?” “Air,” replied the student. To this the guru said, “If you can desire illumination
as much as you desire air, you will have it fast.”
This author once met a yogi who was initiated by a certain swami. The swami gave him a
certain technique. The yogi meditated immediately. He ate and slept very little. After meditating
almost nonstop for several days, he achieved samadhi. Some of you already have gurus and you
have been told to meditate. You decide to meditate at night but instead of meditating, you say,
“Let me read the newspaper first,” or “Let me watch TV,” or “I’ll listen to music first,” or “Let
me call my friend.” When night time comes, your body is already tired, so you say, “Let me go
to sleep. I will meditate tomorrow.” Tomorrow comes and you go through the same thing. This
goes on for months or years. This is why you need constancy of aim and effort. This virtue also
means non-procrastination.
 You have to decide whether you want to do spiritual practice or not. Nobody can force you.
Practice only if you really want to practice, not because everybody is meditating. When you have
decided to meditate regularly, make a schedule and follow it. Constancy of aim and effort and
non-laziness is the key to success, especially in spiritual development.

Also, do your meditation in the same place. Have you not noticed that meditating is easier
when done in the same place? If you move to another area, your mind tends to waver. Why?
When you meditate in the same place, the spiritual energy that is generated impregnates the
room. So the moment you sit down, your mind and emotions become quiet. On the other hand, a
new place has all kinds of thoughts and emotions floating around. It is psychically polluted.

Avoiding Excessive Remorse

Spiritual evolution implies a process, and process implies time. It implies mistakes. Some
people have an oversensitive conscience. They think that they are the worst people on earth when
they make a small mistake. If you keep on recalling the wrong things you have done and you
keep on criticizing yourself, it will be almost impossible to correct the mistake or remove the
vice. What you meditate on, you become. What should you do? First, mentally erase the
unwholesome event. Then imagine you are doing, saying and feeling the right thing. Imagine too
that the person involved is reacting in the right way. Why? This is the power of materialization.
What you think repeatedly with certainty will tend to manifest. A spiritual saying states that
repeated wholesome thoughts and emotions manifest as wholesome action; repeated wholesome
actions manifest as virtue. The same holds true for negative thoughts.

Inner Reflection and Firm Resolution

What do you do when you make a mistake? Mentally erase the mistake slowly without using
force. Visualize the mistake and erase it with the use of an electric violet light eraser and say
“Erase, erase, erase.” You will notice that when you try to erase the mistake for the first time,
there seems to be a resistance. So, erasing it will just be on the surface. By the third or the fourth
time, a large part of it would have been wiped off. By the seventh or ninth time, almost
everything would have been erased, except for a slight outline of the thought form or the old
pattern.
After the mistake has been substantially erased, imagine that you are manifesting the right
thought, right emotion, right speech and right action. Do this process two to three times. After a
month or two of doing this in your mind, when you encounter the same situation, you will be
reacting the right way without any struggle. Why? What you sow in the inner world, you will
reap physically. So when you visualize that you are thinking, feeling, saying and doing the right
thing, you are actually planting seeds in the inner world. It will not mature immediately, but after
some time you will notice that you are automatically doing the right thing.
If you keep on recalling the mistake, what you meditate on, you become. In other words, if
you meditate on your mistake, you tend to repeat the mistake. If you dislike a person and you
meditate on him, you become that person. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to become that
person?” Of course, no! So, instead of meditating on the person, make an “about face.” If the
image of the person comes to mind, simply turn the other way around.
The key, therefore, is not to feel guilty but to have a firm resolution to create a positive image
of what you should do.
Do inner reflection and firm resolution everyday before you practice your meditation.

The Law of Karma

If you study different religions all over the world — Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism
and others — they have several basic teachings that are similar such as the Law of Karma: What
you sow is what you reap. This teaching is misunderstood by some people. When something
happens, they say, “It’s my karma. I cannot do anything.” But karma is not fatalistic. For
example, you complain that all you have is rice from morning to night. But you harvest rice
because you have planted rice. Plant wheat, potatoes, and tomatoes, so you will have a variety of
foods to eat.
You can control your future by using the Law of Karma. The Law of Karma gives you the
ability to create your own destiny. You can change your life in this incarnation. You do not have
to wait for the next life.
Some people have had a hard life, but through the proper use of the Law of Karma, they have
become very rich. Take the case of a certain businessman. The government took away his
family’s properties when he was still a young boy. His family had to live in a small house and
had almost nothing. The first business he put up was making balloons. Later, he expanded to
other businesses. Through intelligent hard work, and a big heart — sharing and giving — his
company became very prosperous. His family is now very wealthy.
The Golden Rule17

Besides the Law of Karma, the Golden Rule is another basic teaching common to all religions
of the world. The Golden Rule, in its yang form, states, “Do unto others what you would have
them do unto you.” This rule can be applied to get what you want or desire. If you want to be
prosperous, then you must give and practice charity. If you want cordiality and harmony, then be
cordial and courteous to others.

The Golden Rule, in its yin form, says, “Do not do unto others what you would not have them
do unto you.” This can be used to avoid undesirable things or events. If you do not want to be
cheated or swindled, then treat others honestly and fairly. If you have worked out most of your
negative karma and have not done anybody any harm, then you have nothing to fear. Nothing
can harm you. The Law of Karma is unbreakable. This is the meaning behind the statement, “My
righteousness is my shield.” Literally, nothing can harm such a man. A thousand or a million
people may fall beside him, but not a single strand of his hair will be touched!
The Golden Rule, when applied positively and negatively (yang and yin), will produce
harmony and prosperity and will protect you from the vicissitudes of life. When applied by most
people and nations, it will bring about world peace. The Law of Karma and the Golden Rule are
the basis of the Lord Gautama Buddha’s teachings in Dhammapada 1.5 and 17.3: “Hatreds do
not ever cease in this world by hating, but by love; this is an eternal truth. . . . Overcome anger
by love, overcome evil by good. Overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth.” This
spiritual teaching was also taught by the Lord Christ in Luke 6: 27-30: “Love your enemies, do
good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. From
anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs
from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again.”
The Law of Karma applies to individuals as well as to nations. Therefore, the Law of Karma
and the Golden Rule can be used by the leaders of nations to solve eventually some of the
national and international problems.

energy generated by the meditation and also the used-up energy.
2. Jumping Exercise

landing on your feet with your legs open. Then jump again, this time with your hands on your
hips and your feet together. Repeat this 20 times.

7. Massaging
It is advisable to massage your body after meditation. This will avoid or minimize congestion
and facilitate the smoother flow of energy in your body. You may massage your body
systematically from the head down. Start with the:
a) scalp
b) back of the head
c) face
d) neck
e) shoulders
f ) arms
g) trunk
h) liver
i ) kidneys
j) legs
This will help stimulate and facilitate the free flow of energy in your body. Put special
emphasis on the liver and kidneys because they are susceptible to energy congestion.
