A Limited Amount of Time
The Rains-Exit Day will be here in thirty-two days. This Rains-Retreat has been designated as the season for attaining the Dhammakaya. Everyone on earth has the Dhammakaya inside him. To prove the existence of the Dhammakaya, all one has to do is to practice keeping one’s mind still and quiet. This Rains-Retreat is the season where the monks can see the Dhammakaya, the novice monks can see the Dhammakaya, and the lay devotees can see the Dhammakaya.
One knows how one has applied one’s self during these past fifty-eight days. Whoever has endeavored to practice meditation earnestly and correctly is making good progress. One must continue to check and see if one is practicing correctly and if one is constantly adjusting one’s mind.Most of you have been able to experience spaciousness, lightness, and comfort. A few of you have been able to see brightness, a crystal sphere, an Inner Body or a Buddha Image. You still have thirty-two days left to practice earnestly and to meet with success.
One’s time on earth, the time one has to pursue Perfections or attain the Inner Triple Gem is decreasing daily. Those of you who are older understand this well. But the fact remains that whether one is young, old, healthy or sick, death can come to one any time. It would behoove one to endeavor to practice meditation to the fullest extent.
