Preface - The Phenomena Of The Paranormal
Tantra originated from India, Guru Padmasambhava brought it to
Tibet. Vajramati, Amogha, and Shang Wu Wei introduced it to China.
And finally Master Kong Hai imported it into Japan.
The last century saw great changes in Tantra. With the advent of
modern sciences, human beings have greater prospective now. In fact
mankind has landed on the moon. The study of Computer information
technology, sound, electronics and light have all entered into a
stage of greater precision, an amazing epoch.
Not only science and technology have advanced tremendously, in
the spiritual development, human beings have also ridden the same
wave to reach a new height. The mysteries of religion have been
logically analysed and unveiled.
The founder of "True Buddha Tantra"-- Living Buddha Lian-Shen
has been actively involved in the development and utilisation of
Tantra. He realises that the amount of potential powers within the
human body that can be unlocked is astonishing.
The 'internal cultivation' of Tantra treasures:
The 'external cultivation' of Tantra values:
The cultivations of Qi, Mai Ming-dian, Body, Speech and Mind are
very scientific. I have seen the inconceivable phenomena of human
bodies. Mystic powers are inborn. Sound, light and energy are able
to flow and recuperate within the precise composition of human bodies.
The cultivation of Tantra follows a certain process, e.g the internal
fire is generated from heat, smoke, fire and ended up in light.
This is "the law of materiality", an advanced theory from
the scientific point of view.
Apart from the six senses of human beings, i.e. the senses of eye,
ear, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness, Tantra also postulates
a nine sense known as Amala. It is spotless, and pure. The pristine
self is the real mind, the true sense.
Following the book "Shi Mo He Yian Lun ", Tantra instituted
a ten sense and named it "Yi-qie-Yi-Xin-Shi". In other
words, all the faculties belong to the same sense, which can be
separated into nine. Only the last sense stems from the truth, the
rest are not.
From the teaching of Maharatna dharma raja the sixteenth, I learned
about the most profound Vijnana (sense) that realise that human
body itself constitutes an unfathomable science.
The eye can see through things, and see things in a distance.
The ear can hear sound from a distance.
Will power can enter into an ultra slender world.
Certain message can be left for recall in the next life.
By sheer will power the element of life can be flown to other worlds.
Human body can have a unification with the universe.
The six abhijnas (mystic powers) mentioned in the "Abhidharma
kosa sastra" namely deva eyes, deva ear, intuitive knowledge
of the minds of other beings, buddha knowledge of all forms of previous
transmigrations, supernatural power to appear at will in any place
and supernatural consciousness of the waning of vicious propensities
is the same as what I have just mentioned. That is to see things
in a distance, to hear from a distance, will power, memory of previous
lives, flying and unification with the universe.
I also realise that the Tantric cultivation has contributed to
the evolution of Somatology (a study on human body), by inducing
the release of potential powers from the human body. The True Buddha
Sect in this regard has made great progress, it heralds in a new
era by making a major change to the religion as a whole.
I said previously, I have been to Maha Double-Lotus pond of the
Western Paradise. My previous life was Mahapadmakumara.
I had coffee with Shakyamuni Buddha who lived 2,500 years ago.
I am the Buddha by the name of Unrestrained-Flower-light.
The spark of True Buddha Tantra will not die out. When the general
science progresses, so is somatology. With personal cultivation
and exploring spirit, all the disciples of True Buddha sects will
be able to confirm the truth with their records of spiritual responses.
This book entitled "The great response of Tantra" is
written with the view to letting the readers to have some kinds
of understanding on the Paranormal phenomenal of True Buddha Tantra.
This book will record all kinds of Truths.
The mysteries of religion will be unveiled and explained.
