Spiritual practice is
the highest science. If you practice the Quan Yin Method with me,
you will be practicing the highest science and logic. It’s
not a superstition or a prostration to deities or spirits for merit.
It’s not mysterious or ambiguous. One doesn’t have to
jump up clumsily or talk nonsense without even knowing what one
is raving about. That is being possessed. What is Maya? It’s
a kind of power with little knowledge. What is Buddha? It’s
the one with scientific wisdom. That’s all. The more we practice
spiritually, the more we understand science. If we only study science
without practicing spirituality, our scientific knowledge will be
limited. Spiritual development will take us beyond science and ahead
of scientists. They’ve been to the moon, but we can go beyond
the moon. They wanted to make more discoveries and travel to more
planets but without success. After much effort they eventually brought
back some rocks and had many scientists gather together to study
these rocks. They cut the rocks and studied them, saying, “Yes!
These are really rocks!” [Laughter] It was no fun. They spent
tons of money and mountains of effort. If they had put their effort,
money and devotion into spiritual development instead, they would
have known many scientific things and become saints very quickly.
