(Originally in Chinese)

Dear Master,

Once, when I was meditating, I suddenly felt a force pulling me up, and my body seemed to be floating. I tried hard to recite the Holy Names, but failed to get free and go out. I felt something was oppressing me from above my head. After a few minutes, the experience vanished, and I was a bit disappointed. May I ask, Master, was it due to a mistake in the way I practice, or because I was too attached to experiences? Please enlighten me, Master.

Thank You very much!

 

Dear,

When you experience an elevation of consciousness, please do not be anxious. Just relax while still focusing your attention on the wisdom eye and silently recite the Holy Names, and then enjoy the feeling. Actually, all the experiences are within us, which neither come nor go, but are only waiting for us to learn to renounce our acts, speech, and thoughts, and focus inwardly to realize our Self-Nature. So, please do not mind too much about your last experience. Just practice diligently in the future and you will naturally have better results.

Ching Hai
