Dear All,
As you know, I have continuously emphasizes the importance of
cultivating our chi. Because the universe runs on chi. Once our
chi is purified, then we will see lights, because light is the
purest form of chi.
And my Teacher said repeatedly, "we meet our self nature, when we
constantly see a white light emitting from our heart chakra."
Below I have translated Bloodstream Sutra by Bodhidharma relating to
"seeing the light".
It's never too late. Please begin your meditation today by
cultivating your chi.
With palms together,
JM

若夢中頻見異境，輒不用 疑，皆是自心起故，不從外來。夢若見光明出現，過於日輪，即餘習頓盡，法界性見。
若有此事，即是成道之因。唯自知，不可向人說。或靜園林中行住坐臥，眼見光明，或大或小，莫與人說，亦不得取，亦是自性光明。
或夜靜暗中行住 坐臥，眼睹光明，與晝無異，不得怪，並是自心欲明顯。
或夜夢中見星月分明，亦自心諸緣欲息，亦不得向人說。夢若昏昏，猶如陰暗中行，亦是自心 煩惱障重，亦自知。
若見本性，不用讀經念佛，廣學多知無益，神識轉昏。
設教只為標心；若識心，何用看教？
If, as in a dream, you see a light brighter than the sun, your
remaining habits will suddenly come to an end and the nature of
reality will be revealed.
Such an occurrence serves as the basis for enlightenment. But this is something
only you know. You can't explain it to others. Or if, while you're walking,
standing, sitting, or lying in a quiet grove, you see a light, regardless of
whether it's bright or dim, don't tell others and don't attach on it. It's the
light of your self nature.
Or if, while you're walking, standing, sitting, or lying in the stillness and
darkness of night, everything appears as though in daylight, don't be startled.
It's your self nature about to reveal itself.
Or if, while you're dreaming at night, you see the moon and stars in all their
clarity, it means the workings of your attachments are about to end. But don't
tell others. And if your dreams aren't clear, as if you were walking in the
dark, because your mind is masked by worries. This too is something you would
know.
If you meet your self nature, you don't need to read sutras or chant Buddhas.
Erudition and Knowledge are not only useless but also cloud your inner divine.
Doctrines are only for pointing to the heart. Once you know your heart, why pay
attention to doctrines?
