MAHAYANA SUTRA

The first lecture

To Mahayana

Next comes the Astral Yoga. In this stage, one freely create and destroy everything in the Astral world, and do this process over and over. The sources of creation here are desires and mistakes of the self. He will make all of these things in order by the successive process of creation and destruction in the Astral world. This is how one eradicates desires in the Astral Yoga.

THen what comes after the perfection of this Yoga? It is the Causal Yoga. We can also call it "the Yoga of Light". In Astral Yoga, you had the Astral body, but there is no body in the Causal world. There is only one's consciousness. And this consciousness is the body of essence.

The body of essence immerses into the light of the Causal world. This light is information. This is all information such as "when to die", or "what will happen in the future". So this light can be interpreted as data bank.

The body of essence converts the information which he has in the light. For example, throwing away the information which can be the obstacle for spiritual practice and entering the information which is helpful to the spiritual practice. This is how one can purify the Causal world little by little.

What would happen when the purification had completed and the Causal Yoga had attained to its perfection? This person will be empty. This is not nothingness. Nothingness means that there is nothing, but here, only the container for the information remains. Please image the container filled with clear water.

Empty information, not being influenced by anything - this is Mahayana. The perfection of Causal Yoga is Mahayana. One can make freely create information whenever it is necessary. He can even come down to the phenomenal world once again by that information.

Important to observe presepts

I have a disciple as follows. He says, "I want to attain enlightenment." However, he can't even observe precepts which I gave to him. Other disciple had fallen down from direct disciples to lay practitioner because he couldn't observe precepts. Still, he is saying, "I want to attain enlightenment."

It is impossible. Please think. How can he make the basement of will if he can't observe precepts. How can he do his effort. I tell such people who couldn't even keep such basic things, "You should give up attaining enlightenment inthis life. You should count on next life. But you should never do things which can take yourself away from the holy stream." And I go on like this;

"Everything is karma. So you will be able to obsreve precepts at the time your good karma fruits the result. Then you will be able to go into the process to obtain strong power of will, the process of effort, and go on with your spiritual stage in Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and so forth."

For the precise prophecy

Now I had began to find time so as to do my spiritual practice. Why is it? I have to give special initiation, Shaktipat, seminars, write manuscripts, and so forth. But this is not the everything which I have to do. I have to provide you the precise prophecies for the near future, and preach the path of the truth.

That is why I am using all my time so as to do my spiritual practice. In 2 or 3 months, I hope I can give you the book of prophecy in detail about coming 4 to 5 years. Whether you believe it or not, there will be some horrible prophecies written in that book. If you do your best from now on in your spiritual practice, I am sure that you will be able to see the same future vision as I had seen.

As I had mentioned, the process and the stages of the spiritual practice is fixed. The process from entering the stream of the truth and up to Mahayana is already fixed. So let's practice hard so as to make a good environment for spiritual practice in Japan. Japan will be destroyed if it goes as it is now. Everything is up to you.
