【修行人应慎辨魔的陷阱】
💕💕💕
世上所谓的修行人不少,有神通的人也不少,不过我们要认识清楚,那种粗糙的力量和佛的力量不一样。
佛不会勉强人,祂是用逻辑、用大智慧开我们的智慧,然后我们自己了解、自己接受。
魔则是用诡计、用神通、用压迫、用甜话、用欺骗,来强迫我们相信;
过了一会儿,我们也会醒过来,不过,这样太可惜了!白白浪费一段时间,又降低我们的等级,而且我们的心会受伤,以后不简单回复。我们的怀疑心本来已经不简单洗干净了,现在又增加一个,很难喔!等级一掉下来,不简单再爬上去。
我们修行的人当然要有单纯的心,不过,单纯的心和笨蛋的心不一样,单纯的心就是:我们不想人家坏事,也不诅咒人家,我们做善良的事,帮助、安慰人家,我们能做什么,就尽量做,我们不随便怀疑别人。
笨蛋的心就是:别人讲什么我们都听从,然后贪神通、贪果位、贪人家赞叹,赞叹的毒药一喝下去,等一下中毒了,就失去判断的能力,没有办法判断别人讲这样合不合逻辑?合不合道理?那种样子的人值不值得我们赞叹?他们那种眼睛我们敢不敢看?
你们怎么那么急啊!你们要花时间判断一下,如果你们自己不能判断的话,那师父还在,有师父可以问;因为我们很多地方还不懂,所以我们要问她。
你们怎么看不起师父到这个程度!连问师父也不问!自己迷迷糊糊、神神秘秘,几个人合起来做革命,开玩笑!你们认为师父不知道你们搞什么啊!我用“望远镜”看,觉得很可笑!看小孩搞得很乱,自己在那里得意,然后几个人一起着魔,而且还很高兴,认为父母都不晓得。
师父为了尽自己所谓的师父的责任,所以才要警告你们,我不是要管你们那些小孩子的把戏,你们掉多少个对师父都没什么意思。不过,你们要谨慎考虑,了解清楚别人做什么事。
师父还在世,有什么事情可以先跟她商量,如果她讲不通,她没有能力解释给我们听,那个时候我们再自己决定。
你们已经拜师了,最少要尊重师父对你们的责任,我不是要你们尊重师父个人,而是要提醒你们记得。师父对你们有责任,我要带你们超三界,我的责任才算完成,万一半路上你们丢师父的话,我也会感觉到没有负好责任,然后我们双方都会很难过。

【Beware Of Maya’s Traps】
💕💕💕
There are more than a few so-called spiritual practitioners in the world, and many have magical powers. But we have to discriminate between that kind of coarse power and God’s power.
God does not force people. Hes uses logic and great wisdom to help open our wisdom, and then we understand and accept Herm by our own will.
But Maya uses tricks, magic power, oppression, sweet talk, and deception to force us to believe him.
Even though we will wake up eventually, what a waste it is if we fall into his trap! We will have wasted our time for nothing, and will have descended to a lower level. Furthermore, our heart will be injured, and it will be very hard to recover. It is a difficult task to clean up our doubtful mind to begin with. Now our doubts deepen. Once we have fallen to a lower level, it is not easy to climb back up again.
We practitioners should possess a pure and simple mind, but simplicity does not mean stupidity. A pure and simple mind means that we don’t think bad about others, nor do we curse others. We do good deeds, and we help and comfort others. Whatever we can do, we try our best to do it. We don’t suspect others without discrimination.
On the other hand, a stupid mind follows whatever other people say, and then the mind becomes greedy for magic power, spiritual status, and flattery. Once we drink the poison of flattery, we will become poisoned, and then we will lose the power of judgment. We will not be able to judge whether others’ words are logical or reasonable, or whether that type of person is worthy of our praise, or whether we should look into those people’s eyes.
Why are you in such a hurry? You have to take some time to make your judgments. If you cannot judge by yourself, you have a Master to ask since She is still here. There are still many things that you do not understand, so you need to ask Her.
But you do not even ask Master because you think nothing of Her! A few of you are very confused. You band together secretly trying to revolt against me. What a joke! You think Master does not know what you are up to! I watch you through my “telescope,” and laugh. It’s like watching children making a mess and feeling pleased with themselves. Then you get possessed by demons, and you are even happy, thinking that your parents are not aware of what you are doing.
In order to take up the responsibility of a Master, I have to give you warnings. I do not want to interfere in your childish games. It doesn’t mean anything to me if I lose any number of you. However, you have to consider carefully and understand clearly what others are doing.
Master is still in the world, so you can always ask Her in case you have any questions. If She is not able to clear things up or to give you explanations, then go ahead and make decisions by yourselves.
You have already been initiated by Master, so at least you should respect Master’s responsibility for you. I am not asking you to respect Master personally, but I have to remind you of certain things. I am responsible for you; I have to take you beyond the three realms before my duty is finished. If you left me midway on the path, I would feel that I had not done a good job, and then both of us would be very miserable.
