MAHAYANA SUTRA

The eighth lecture - "The The ninth lecture - "What is Attainment? The Proof for its Rightiousness"


The stream of truth

From the first day of this seminar, I told you about the stream of the truth.

Starting from the step to enter the stream of the truth, spiritual stage goes up to the result of entering the stream of the truth, the step to come once, the result of coming once, the step of non- return, the result of not returning, the step of Arhat, the result of Arhat. After the result of Arhat, there will be the perfection of Raja Yoga, the perfection of Kundalini Yoga, and then, the perfection of Jnana Yoga. After the perfection of Jnana Yoga comes Mahayana Yoga, Astral Yoga, Causal Yoga, and in the end comes the perfection of Mahayana Buddha. This is the ultimate enlightenment.

Beware of false enlightened one

By the way, it is very difficult to judge by oneself whether one had attained enlightenment or self realization. Maitreya, Brafmani, and Uppalavanna told you "I am not sure whether I had attained self realization or not.". I think this is their honest opinion, because only Guru can judge the attainment. In other words, only the Guru who had attained the highest state can correctly understand the state of the people who comes after him.

However, I recently heard of a terrible person who claimed himself as a Maha Guru who had attained the ultimate enlightenment. He is a member of AUM who lives in Nagasaki Prefecture. He copied what I had written and began to publish newspaper titled "Clear Light".

Of course I would be very glad if he really attained the ultimate enlightenment. But according to the conversation over the telephone twice, his state of ultimate enlightenment which he had experienced was terrible as such; "I saw something like four seeds, which made my mind lighter.". This is what he meant by the ultimate enlightenment. Isn't it terrible?

Those who had read my book, "The secret method to develop supernatural power", may understand what I want to say. It is written there that a person will first see four dots. After that, he will see the flame of up-side-down triangle of Muradara Chakra. In other words, he is in such a low stage who haven't even opened his Muradara Chakra. In spite of that, he thought that he had attained the ultimate enlightenment. I shall say that he is in the state of terrible devil's abode.

I heard that he began to give Shakti-pat for 60,000 yen. He could do such a thing because he had a lot of believers when he used to be a priest of the traditional Buddhism in Nichiren school. I am sorry about the believers who recieves his Shakti-pat, because they will be transferred the bad karma of lower dimention. Do you understand what I mean?

I am sure that there will be a lot of such people in the future. Since I am showing people what is known as the secret teaching to my disciples, there will be people who read them, copy them, and say "I have obtained this teaching.". So you should be very careful.

The proof as the real enlightened one

AUM must get along with those movements. We have to prevent innnocent people from being influenced by the false enlightened ones. In order to do so, I feel the necessity to show you the real state, or the power, of the ultimate enlightened one. This will be my proof for enlightenment.

I thought of showing this proof next year, but I may fail because I have already decided that I will give special initiation to 400 people.

Those who had recieved the special initiation can understand that it is very hard for me to give special initiation. I can give this initiation to only 3 people from the morning till night. And I keep sending my energy to the reciever while giving this initiation, so my loss of energy is a great amount. I shall be in terrible situation instead of the 400 recievers. I may not have any more energy left so as to prove the state of ultimate enlightenment.

So I am thinking of Khema-Taishi to prove it instead of me. She had attained enlightenment, and is absolutely heading for the ultimate enlightenment. Everything will be decided according to the loss of her energy.

I can say absolutely because her breath stops in a few minuttes just by practicing Tsandali for 6 or 7 times. So I think she can prove her state by something like underground Samadhi. Would you like to see it? Then we shall do it next year to show people all over Japan what does it mean to attain enlightenment.
I myself also think of doing underwater Samadhi while giving Shakti-pat or the special initiation. I shall die if I fail. According to the great cosmic astrology, I have a fate to die under water or underground. It means that I have such karma. And if I couldn't overcome my karma, I shall have to die.

However, I feel that the time has come for me to make a proof even if my life were to be threatened. The reason is as I had mentioned; to prevent those false enlightened ones from doing whatever they want to do. A savior has a time when he has to stake his life. Anyway, I shall do so. I don't know it will be in Japan, or whether it will be in America.

By the way, I have to tell you why Samadhi can be the proof for enlightenment.

In fact, Samadhi indicates the ultimate state of meditation. In Samadhi, true self (soul) detaches from the physical body, and the breath is stopped. The stop of the breath can clearly be understood when the air is tightened in under water of underground. I think this is the most dramatic and effective way to show the existence of Samadhi.
