“It’s a perfect Buddhist time. Your hopes have been dashed. Your cup has been overturned. Some of the aspects of your life have not gone the way you had hoped. However, some of the stagnant energy has been cleared away. It is time to regroup. Everything is on schedule. The outcome is not important. What is important is that those who gave their energy and time seized the moment. Don’t have an attachment to the outcome. Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do such as helping others, helping the earth. ~ Kuan Yin”

“In the months and years following my participation in the completion of Oracle of Compassion: the Living Word of Kuan Yin, I did, in accordance with the deity’s former declaration—that she would continue sending important dreams, experience many dreams and visitations from Kuan Yin. It was after completing the transcription of some of the Kuan Yin quotes that I fell into a deep slumber. Just before awakening, I dreamt of Kuan Yin standing in my living room directly in front of the marble-tiled fireplace wherein Lena Lees and I would hold prayer circles.
So real was this vision that I could hear the deity’s sweet voice explain that there is a specific meditation for connecting with the Celestial Wisdom! Witnessing Kuan Yin lie face down on the Oriental Carpet with arms outstretched over Her head, I watched as Her thumb and forefinger formed a triangle—the dhyana mudra specifically designated to Kannon called the dhyana mudra displayed by the fourth Dhyani Buddha Amitabha, also known as Amitayus Kuan Yin. It was then that Kuan Yin further explained the significance of this specific mudra; that it acts similar to a capstone on an obelisk—drawing wisdom to one who has demonstrated intention to be a teacher of wisdom.
Aware that Kuan Yin was pointed in a northward direction, I surmised this particular alignment was also a significant aspect of the meditation—that this specific positioning was most ideal for receiving answers for prayers directed to the Her.
Later in the dream, it was confirmed that each person attracts from the universe, realities that are aligned with their specific beliefs and values.”

“Disciple: Master, what do you think, if we could suddenly make the river in front of our temple flow in the opposite direction, people would believe our teaching more quickly? Master: If we can reverse the flow of the river, we would want people to logically research how this is possible rather than blindly believing in our teaching because our teaching is not based on believing in miracles, but on analysing issues with our minds!”

“When monks deny the existence of the I, they are not denying the existence of humanity or of man in general; but that of the ego only.”
