Heart Chakra

For the last three weeks, my Heart Chakra is becoming bigger and bigger. Its energy not only transmits to the tips of my hands, top of my head, as well as my legs. I also become easily moved or affected by emotions.and cry a lot.

Last night, during my session, my Heart Chakra becomes as big as my entire torso. When it pumps, my entire torso is pumping. After two years, I am already confident that this is not a heart disease.

Yet I am also curious, is this what our Master described as “coming out”? Is it?

More energy with less food

Ever since October of 2006, I energy level has increased and I no longer can feel the physical discomfort of others.

When I meditated, the chi will be at wherever I observe. I always curious as to what will happen to me next. Now that I have crossed into another unknown territory.

It has been six month now, I noticed that I don’t feel hungry as easier. I ate less, but I had more energy. I don’t get tired that easily. My weight dropped by 5 pounds from 180 to 175.

My black spots, from forty years of golfing without protection, on my face, body and arms grew lighter and smaller.

I said to Emily at today’s yoga class, “Hmm. This is getting really interesting. I maybe becoming younger.”

Study The Experience

After participating with online discussion forums for 8-9 months, I have finally realized why my master taught only Sitting Chan for the first fifteen years without teaching any of the sutras.

I have realized that there was an important understanding about the sutras before we read them. That is all the sutras are about Buddha’s enlightened mind. The sutra records his experience and his witness of his synchronization with the universe.

It is an experience with an invisible, indescribable energy which can only be connected with and difficult to be read, understand or comprehend by our mind. For instance, how can we study the taste of an apple. How can we study a Marathon run? How can we read about love?

If we had the connection with the life force of the universe,,,

• we would know instinctively that “form is emptiness and emptiness is form” because they are both manifested by the life force.
• We would know instinctively, “… all Dharma that is voiced, stated, written, documented are not Dharma“, because it is not the life force itself.
• We would know instinctively, “… seeing all forms as no form, thus see true form…” means all forms are just effects and the life force is the true cause.

If we experience of the life force and wisdom of the universe, there will be no interpretation necessary, every word in the sutra will be clear and precise.

Why do so many teachers both to explain and interpret the sutras for all the mind. There is really no short cut.

I decided to meditate more and more and more.

For many there are so close yet so far.

Coughing

Birdie meditated with us two years ago. Then she wondered off to study Chinese medicine, Christianity and other Buddhist schools to find remedy for her weak health.

She arrived at 10am on Thursday, March 22, 2007 to our house. And she left at 2-2:30 in the afternoon. She talked and talked and shared her experiences with us. I did not say much. I focused on my chi flow, stayed calm and just listened, because I know that was what she was looking for.

Upon her leaving, she said to me, “Due to my physical condition, I usually become dead tired after two hours of talking. But strangely today, I have been talking for four hours and not feeling tired.”

Later on in the evening, Emily felt tight throat and congested chest. For the next three days, she thought that she was coming down with a cold, but nothing really happened other than just discomfort. On the fourth day, she told me that she felt like to cough, but nothing from the throat. Her discomfort was coming from the lung.

Then we realized her discomfort was due to the karma of Birdie.

How did I know? Because that’s exactly what happened when Emily took over Dolly’s cough and made it her own a while back. Just in one session, Dolly was recovered and Emily was coughing badly.

Bigger Pipe

I was told many times that karma visits those with “cleaner body”. I never quite understood this logic, though for the last three four years I have witnessed as well as experienced too many incidences of such occurance.

At the dinner with Harry, his four pound fish and New Zealand lamb chop, I have arrived at an energy parallel. At least I am happy with its logic.

Those with “clearner body” are those with better energy flow. Some with “smaller pipe” and some with “bigger pipe”. Karma is an energy with scatter flowing directions internally. Karma by itself does not flow anywhere, and often worse, it hindered the proper flow of all energy. Karma will flow with any energy that flows.

When the karma flows through a smaller pipe, it may hinder the flow of the pipe. That is why I can feel physical discomfort at identical locations of the sufferer. Since October of 2006, I don’t feel that anymore, because my pipe has become bigger. It became bigger because all the karma that I have shuffled through. Another witness of the fact that Chan always provides. Like a tree, when it needs to shade more animals with more leaves, its roots grows deeper and its trunk becomes bigger so that it could carry more nutrients to the leaves.

This growth of the “pipe” or “flow volume of Chi” is called merit in Buddhism.

Coolness

Ed was here for our usual Wednesday session. He shared the following with Emily.

“About one year ago, when I was really in trouble. My life was in a mess. The Korean monk that I meditated with did not return. My fear, anger and loneliness are out of control. My whole body was heated up. I was worried and hestitated when I found you on the net
.
Then I came to have a talk with Donald.

As I was explaining what I was doing through for a short while, I felt this coolness coming from Donald and almost immediately, my heated sentiment was cooled down. I knew then, this was what I was looking for.”

Ever since that day, Ed has been coming to our meditation session. He rises at 4:30am. Does motion Chan for half an hour and sitting Chan for another 30 minutes. All his addictions, anxiety attacks are under control. But he still managed to have “less unhappiness” and has not said that he is “happy” yet.

As to my “coolness” which Ed felt, I have felt nothing. I have no idea what Ed was talking about. I am glad that the life force of the universe manifested through me. If it did, I am grateful for both of us.
