The Real Meaning of Ahimsa
Group meditation in Pune, India, November 22-23, 1997Summary: In traditional Indian philosophy, ahimsa, non-violence, includes three levels — the body, the mind and spirituality.

If the perfect God nature encompasses every aspect of existence, including good and evil, why must spiritual practitioners only develop their positive power? What is “character adoration” and what impact does it have on spiritual progress? What is the level of “spiritual mood” and why do most spiritual practitioners get stuck there?

Concentration on Work: A Way of Spiritual Practice
International Six-day Retreat in Bangkok, Thailand, January 1, 2000Summary: In this lecture, Master addresses the following questions. If we have extremely intense inner experiences during meditation that cause bodily stress, how should we handle this condition? How should spiritual practitioners regard “engagement in worldly affairs according to affinity,” or should they face life with a more positive attitude? Can one change one’s predestined karma? Master’s discourse also deals with people’s superstitions about fate. In times of failure or difficulty, how do we know if we should view our problems as God’s will, or if we should resist them to the end? How can we improve ourselves if we feel that we lack compassion, are selfish and weigh the gains and losses in every life experience? Finally, Master reveals Her exclusive New Year’s gift to disciples in the year 2000.
