Kim
A broad smile, strong gentle Arms of
Consciousness embracing us, Divine Tenderness… It is
our Friend — Kim!
“May I tell My story?”
“Yes, Kim, of course!”
… Korea… Kim shows a Buddhist
monastery in mountains. Neatly paved trails, planted
trees, bushes. A mountain brook flows through the
monastery territory and beautifies its every corner.
It fills lakes, rolls over stone steps, and makes
small babbling waterfalls…
Transparent waters run over stones…
High and pure sound of bells floats around: it is
wind touches them gently — and clear sound fills the
transparent air…
Kim continues:
“Buddhism in its original purity is,
first and foremost, morality. It also implies
perceiving the world in harmony. It is also calm.
“Have you ever thought about the
meaning of the word Boddhisattva? Boddhi
or buddhi means ‘developed (individual)
consciousness’; sattva means ‘harmony’,
‘purity’… Everyone has to strive for achieving the
state of Boddhisattva — in order to dedicate the
life to saving all souls from the abyss of
suffering.
“And everyone can eventually become
a Buddha — a Completely Liberated One.
“The main principle of Buddhism —
ahimsa — implies non-causing harm, as possible, to
other creatures. It is the foundation of
love-compassion. Everyone who observes this rule in
their life is on the Path to Light…
“… Even when I was a small boy, I
liked to be a defender. I liked to protect the lives
of bugs, birds, plants. My grandfather explained to
Me why man cannot use bodies of animals for food,
why we have to strive to avoid causing pain to other
living beings… I gladly considered Myself a defender
and savior of bugs and rabbits, butterflies and baby
birds — of all creatures! I was only five years old
when I took on the ‘mission’ of defending
everything living.
“But one day… My brothers and I
played with a nesting, which fell out of its nest.
Occasionally I broke its leg. I almost wept. My
grandfather looked at Me with despise. He told to
older children how to treat the nesting. Then the
grandfather called Me and told that My amusement
turned out a pain for a small bird…
“Since that moment I understood
fully the holy principle of not causing evil,
not causing pain, not doing violence
to living creatures… Since that moment I have never
violated it.
“… When I grew up, I fell in love
with a beautiful girl. She became My wife and the
mother of our three sons.
“… Once, an awful epidemic happened
and took away many lives. My wife and children died
too… I… could not protect from the disease and death
those whom I loved…
“Then I took the decision to become
he who possesses the Higher Knowledge about
how to save and protect…
“… Monasteries in Korea at that time
were centers where people studied reading and
writing, medicine, and cognition of the Primordial
Consciousness. Normally, only children from noble
families were sent to monasteries for receiving
education.
“And I was almost 40 years old… I
walked from one monastery to another, but no one
agreed to accept Me as a student. They offered Me
shelter and simple work, but when I asked for more —
they only laughed at Me…
“… Once, when I received next
refusal from a haughty monk, I went toward the gate…
Suddenly… I saw a Great Sage walking slowly
out of the temple… Our eyes met. He made a slightest
gesture with His hand and that monk, prostrating
himself before the Sage, jumped and rushed to call
Me back…
“… Since that moment, I was as if in
a dream, though I remember all slightest details.
“He was a Great Teacher! Love
and Wisdom shone from His eyes.
“He beckoned Me to come close. I
went to Him as if through a volume of water,
forgetting about everything around!… I forgot even
to kneel before Him… He smiled and touched My head
with His hand… Only then I recollected Myself and
prostrated at His feet…
“He told Me quietly:
‘I will teach you…’
“These words touched Me very deeply…
Sleep of the soul ended! Awakening began!
“He commanded that I was given a
possibility to wash Myself, to be fed and brought to
a cell in the monastery… He told also that He would
wait for Me tomorrow before the dawn.
“Next morning before the dawn, I was
brought to Him. He made a gesture with His hand and
the monks left us alone.
‘What do you want?’ He asked.
“I began telling My story… He
interrupted Me in the middle:
‘I know everything about you I need
to know. Tell Me another thing: are you ready to
serve the Great Cause from now on up to the
moment when all souls on the Earth receive
Liberation?’
‘Yes!...’ I whispered.
“Then you have to make up for the
forty years of your life… Are you ready to work so
that every day brings fruits of forty days? You have
to make up for lost time and be never satisfied with
the achieved results. I will help you. But first
other monks will teach you. I will call you later…
And now… follow Me.
“We walked to a terrace of the
temple…
“… The sun was rising over the
mountains. Blue haze of mist over the dale turned
into a sea of living shining light. In silence, in
quietness of the great mystery of Light and Life —
the sun was rising over the horizon. We stood
together: a Great Teacher and a forty-years-old man,
who just began cognition of the soul’s path
toward the Light so that to guide later other
people on it…
“Then the things went as they
should. I learned sciences and meditation keeping in
mind that ever day I have to accomplish as much as
others accomplish in one month…
“… Once at the end of a hard-work
day, I began to meditate in My cell. Suddenly, the
Teacher appeared before Me. I prostrated Myself
before Him and wanted to touch His feet…, but My
hands moved though Teacher’s legs: He came to Me in
a non-material body!… He laughed with His shining
Body of Consciousness while I, astonished, sat on
the floor…
“He said without moving the lips:
‘Well done! You see Me and
understand Me well. Now — go to bed. You need to
have a good rest. Since that moment, I will teach
you Myself. Every morning you have to enter the
meditation — and wait for Me. I will come as I did
today…’
“Thus, the stage of My initiation
into the buddhi yoga began.
“Only occasionally My Teacher called
Me to Himself to give additional explanations
through His material body. I learned to feel His
presence not only during morning meditations: now in
every difficult situations I could ask Him — and
receive His answer in words or at the level of
understanding. When I relied too much on His
support, He did not answer: He came, but I felt only
His disapproving silence. In such cases I understood
that I have to seek the solution Myself.
“… Once He came and told Me that He
was abandoning the earthly body…
“… The Great One left… The monastery
was in mourning…
“… I was overwhelmed with grief…
Next morning it took Me much effort to enter
meditation… I ascended to a platform from which one
could watch sunrise… I tried to expand with the
consciousness over the expanse, but tears streamed
from My eyes…
“… Someone touched My shoulder… I
raised My eyes and… saw the Teacher…
‘I told you so many times that there
is no death!’ smiled He.’
“I prostrated Myself before Him and,
to My astonishment,… touched His feet. His body was
real, material! I could touch Him!
“He told:
‘Some time ago you promised to miss
not a single day in your work and to dedicate your
entire life to cognition of the Path and helping
others in their search for the Light. Do you
remember?
‘Next time I will come in a body to
congratulate you when you receive supervision over
the monastery. And now — you do not need My body for
learning further from Me… I will continue teaching
you without it…’
“… The Teacher kept His promise.
“Yet, this happened in My next
incarnation…
“That time I had the name Kim. In
meditations I constantly saw Him — My Teacher.
“My path to the Mergence with the
Primordial Consciousness was easy and straight. I
cognized Nirvana in Mergence with Him and then
accepted supervision of the monastery. This day the
predicted miracle happened: My Divine Teacher came
in a materialized body and blessed a new stage of My
path — the stage of Great Service.”
“Kim, could you tell us in more
detail — what methods were used in that monastery
for achievement of Nirvana?”
“The methods of buddhi yoga are
almost the same everywhere. Only nuances are
different. You all studied it in your School and
have good understanding of this.
“But now I want to put the emphasis
on the following. For achievement of the success, it
is very important (otherwise it is simply
impossible!) to stay always in a calm and joyful
positive emotional state.
“One must not live without positive
emotions, without enjoying — and
dissolving oneself in the enjoyment! An example
familiar to you is dissolution in the sattva of your
beloved nature, which is very dear to every One of
Us, too! Nirvana can be easily achieved after
mastering deep sattva — the state of joyful calm,
blissful inner quietness!
“And for this, one needs
satisfaction! Dissatisfaction with something,
which becomes dominant, represents a significant
obstacle on the Path.
“There must be only one
dissatisfaction —dissatisfaction with oneself
regarding own spiritual achievements, regarding
unachieved-yet full cognition of the Primordial
Consciousness and Mergence with the Higher Self! It
has to remain always and… impel one forward!
“All other needs of the sattvic soul
has to be satisfied! The food has to be sattvic and
tasty; yet one must not eat too much! The body has
to be washed daily, so that it and the soul do not
suffer from dirt! One has to be able to commune with
living nature and enjoy this! One has to have
meetings with beloved people! Satsanga is a society,
a community of spiritual friends who love each
other, who ‘travel in one boat’ from the bank of
sansara to the place where there is only Nirvana!
“Also it is very important, though
not everyone understands this, that the sexuality
which is peculiar to all young and healthy
individuals also has to be given a possibility to
manifest itself and to contribute to the spiritual
development of the partners! Monasteries are places
where spiritual warriors, who aspire to cognition of
the Primordial Consciousness, collect and work hard!
Monasteries are not for those who torture
themselves, wait for their death, and are afraid of
mentioning about sexuality… It is tamas!…
“Healthy, sattvic sexuality allows
one to learn taking care about others; it fills one
with tenderness, refines the emotions. It removes
the unwanted sexual dominant, which hinders one’s
searching for the Creator! Of course, the ethical
component in sexual relationships has to be observed
always.
“If everything is done correctly, as
it has to be, then the purity and freshness of the
emotions of the erotic field — tenderness, caress,
admiring the beauty — overfill one and give
superficial subtle energy, which is needed for
proper growth of the consciousness.
“God always blesses such sexuality;
He does not bless only the sexuality of the tamas
guna. You can ask anyone about this, ask Jesus
Christ, for example.
Jesus:
“Yes, these are My words as well.
The same every One of Us, representing the Father,
can say to you. The Path to Me, to the Heavenly
Father goes through sattva, not through tamas.
“Let Me stress also the importance
of the inner quietness… It can be achieved
only when, among other things, there is a harmonious
satisfaction of the sexuality. Or when the sexuality
is left in the past…,
but the soul’s tenderness remained!”
Kim:
“I acquainted you with Tchao Li. How
did you like Her?”
“She is a most subtle and tender
Divine being!”
“She is My second wife! She, too,
cognized all this. She supported Me then. And I
brought Her together with Me into the Abode of the
Creator!”
“Kim, what was the name of Your
Teacher?”
“Lin!”
