As
lecture time is running out, I wish to clarify something that many of you may
still lack correct understanding. It is
related to Buddha amulets which donators receive as gifts. Please be reminded that the amulets are given
with an aim to become refuges that enhance better Dhamma and meditation
practice. As such, the goodness from
Dhamma and meditation practice will prevent ones from recession as well as
securing ones against harm and danger by the power of good deeds. I would like to guarantee that this is my
true goal. This can be traced back to
the lifetime of Luang Phor Sodh who created Buddha amulets to assist meditation
practice.
During
Luang Phor Sodh’s lifetime, he provided prints-out which gave a brief
instruction enclosed to the amulets as an advice to receivers to remain morally
wholesome. On this occasion, we also
distribute instruction, and if you haven’t received one, please ask for
it. In term of the given Buddha amulets,
I would like to explain without making you excited too much that they comprise
of ‘transcendroid-materials’(transcendental droid) with the term ‘Majesty-Iron’
in a parenthesis. Some of the amulets
have these transcendroid-materials affixed.
This may cause receivers to have a stereotype about ‘transpirited iron’
(iron with transferred spirit) which is a sacred magical item that can prevent
one from being gunned-down. With this
stereotype, ones’ understanding may not comply to my very true goal.
As
such, I wish to disclose the hidden truth based on my own exploration. This coincides to an insight gained from
Dhammakaya Meditation that, once we practise accordingly to methodology, we
will have insight and intuition through body within body (kaya within kaya),
feelings within feelings (vedana within vedana), mind within mind
(citta within citta) and state of dhamma experience within state
of dhamma experience (dhamma within dhamma). Simply speaking, there are body, feeling,
mind, and state of Dhammic experience which overlap upon one another forming
layers. Whenever our minds are
wholesome, virtuous, and moral, the body within body, or bodies which have
minds and virtues, will become clear and pure.
In respect of deepening into state of dhamma experience within another
state of dhamma experience, this enables us to reach realms called ‘realm
within realm’. There are the ‘living
realm’ which denotes the world that we are living in and the ‘non-living realm’
which means ‘the changeable’ where there are the arising and ceasing according
to karma based on dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda).
This
is the advanced knowledge which can be seen with Dhammakaya Meditation that
there are changes in bodies where body is within body. Other than this, the utmost state of
refinement where one respectively deepens into purity and subtlety, from human
body towards the celestial, from the celestial to become the rupa-brahma, from
the rupa-brahma to become the arupa-brahma, and until reaching Dhammakaya, the
members of Nirvana, the Lords of Primitive Element & Essence, makes our
minds become refined furthermore. We
will see the body which dwells within each of the aforesaid bodies, from the
outermost to the innermost. Such body
which can be seen with Dhammakaya Meditation is called ‘Chakravartin’ whose
duty is to nurture. Moreover, there are
Chakravartins who belong to the Holy, evil and neutral, these Chakravartins
differ from one another in term of complexion.
The Holy ones are pure and brilliant.
This is how the righteous and meritorious party looks like. The neutral ones look gloomy whereas the
unwholesome ones look dark. I hope this
explanation helps.
The
nurturer is responsible for collecting causal inputs of creatures’ deeds,
depending on creatures’ choice of preference.
We can compare this to the three frequencies of radio-activity. A living creature can draw good radio
frequency. From where? The Holy-side motivates one to behave well
physically, verbally and mentally. For
humans, their qualitative virtues are generosity, morality and meditation. For the celestial, there are morality,
concentration and wisdom. For the
rupa-brahma, there are higher morality (adhisīla),
higher mentality (adhicitta) and higher
wisdom (adhipaññā). For the arupa-brahma, there are pathamamagga,
maggacitta and maggapaññā. Deepening further into meditative sublimity,
there are the Gotrabhu, Sotapanna, Sagidagami, Anagami, Arahat, and Buddhahood-enlightenment. To deepen furthermore, one experiences
cessation of suffering (nirodha) and reaches the Lords of Primitive
Element and Essence.
It
goes on like this. The frequencies which
one opens mind to accept are from the Lords of Primitive Element and Essence
who transmit frequencies of which the attracting spheres (ayatana)
overlap each other forming layers.
Regarding the term ‘Chakravartin’ which I mentioned, this body is at the
very far end of each level of the route.
To continue further from Chakravartin onward, there are the inserter,
deliverer, administrator, governor, the sub-governor of each single body, the
governor of the total bodies, the grand governor who supervises realms
including the plane of those with sensuality (kāmabhava), plane of those with material meditative
absorption (rūpabhava), and plane
of those with immaterial meditative absorption (arūpabhava), and the
top governors who are Lords of Primitive Element and Essence, where there are
Machines of Element & Essence which are interconnected and each side belongs
to either the Holy or evil. So far, we
speak only about the Holy-side whilst the evil-side is the opposite. Instead of yielding clarity and purity along
one’s proceeding into sublime meditation, the evil-side is another path of
darkness. This is how the evil-side is.
The
transcendroid has a duty to collect causal inputs of deeds and promptly report
through the interconnected route of lineage of one’s element and essence. This process is exceptionally speedy, and
there is nothing comparable. The
transmission of input is made through the nurturer, inserter, deliverer,
administrator, governor, and the Lord of Primitive Element and Essence until
reaching the Machine of Element & Essence which is operated by controllers. Respectively, these bodies dwell inside the
innermost state of sublimity per level within each infinite boundary of element
& essence. Thereafter, the
consequence is formulated and respectively returned to the Chakravartin who
nurtures the human body further. What
does the Holy-side return to humans? If
one commits good deeds, the good fruitions of wholesome karma are returned. These fruitions enhance one’s mind as well as
body to be virtuous and radiant, so one’s human body has good livelihood which
goes on well in compliance to merit and goodwill. Therefore, the ocean of merit is here. One can attain a pure Dhammakaya only when
one’s mind stops still at the right point, and when one’s mind becomes still
righteously, the ocean of merit can be reached and seen.
Nonetheless,
the returned formulations include fruition of good karma as well as virtues
called ‘pitaka’. There are 21,000
collective body of dhamma in the domain of vinaya pitaka (volume
of discipline), 21,000 collective body of dhamma in the domain of suttanta
pitaka (volume of concentration), and 42,000 collective body of dhamma
in the domain of abhidhamma pitaka (volume of wisdom). This is extraordinary, but they can be
concluded into three good deeds for humans namely generosity, morality and
meditation. Once such good deeds are
committed, they consequently rid the evil qualities including covetousness (abhijjhā),
craving (taṇhā), lust (rāga) and malevolence (byāpāda). If we have generosity, morality and
meditation, they will eliminate greed, malevolence and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) to be completely
eradicated resulting one’s mind to be radiant as one’s refined human body does
its duty to brighten one’s mind.
It
means that the fruitions of ethical livelihood are returned altogether with
morality which competes, encounters and defeats the immorality in one’s
mind. Hence, for whatever wholesomeness
that one’s mind draws in within one second, one accepts the merit which causes
one’s mind to be meritorious, ethical, virtuous and compassionate. To have generosity, morality, meditation,
honesty upon one’s spouse, truthfulness and mindfulness, these are the rival
qualities against greed, malevolence and wrong view sent by the dark-side which
motivates us to violate five precepts.
The good qualities encounter, compete and defeat the bad qualities
within one’s mind like this. Whoever
accepts the immoral from the dark-side, it will collect the causal input of
deeds to be submitted as well.
This
is the reason why I have emphasised you to be mindful and cautious upon greed (lobha),
craving (taṇhā) and lust (rāga). As they arise in mind, we have to be mindful
of them including anger and revenge.
Whenever any of them arise, we have to remind ourselves that the
dark-side would collect the causal input and return into accumulation. The Holy-side collects merit to be perfected
into perfection (pāramī), intermediate perfection (upapāramī)
and advanced perfection (paramatthapāramī) which are powerful enough to enable
enlightenment in the form of path & fruition (magga & phala) and
achievement of the Nirvana. On the
contrary, the evil-side accumulates unwholesome proclivity (anusaya) and
defilement (kilesa) which embed in one’s mind. With the good virtues of the celestial body,
one can be relieved from greed (lobha), anger (dhosa) and
delusion (moha). To fine tune
one’s mind to the Holy-side who transmits morality, mental calm and wisdom, the
defilement in the category of greed, anger and delusion will be
eliminated. If one tunes one’s mind
further to accept the virtues of rupa-brahma body namely higher morality (adhisīla),
higher mentality (adhicitta) and higher wisdom (adhipaññā), these
qualities will completely eliminate grudge (patigha),
lust (raga) and delusion (moha).
Deepening
one’s mind further into the meditative sublimity, one can obtain the virtues of
arupa-brahma namely paṭhama-magga,
magga-citta and magga-paññā.
These virtues can truly rid the patikanusaya, patigha or kāmarāga. As a result, avijja is lightened. See?
The Holy and the evil rid each other like this. When one does good deeds, it will be
accumulated and crystallised into pāramī,
upapāramī and paramatthapāramī.
On the contrary, the more sinful deeds committed, the more an individual
slumps into it. We can notice that one
whose craving (tanha), lust (raga) and greed (lobha) are
motivated further, the intensity of their bad qualities will unnoticeably
become stronger. It is the same to
delusion (moha). Therewith, as we
learn this, we have to keep up with mindfulness. The collected good and bad causal inputs will
be forwarded to the Machines of Element & Essence through the routes of nurturers,
inserters, deliverers, administrators, governors, and Lords of Primitive
Element & Essence. This is not true
only for the Holy-side since the evil also has its own. Its transmission is in the same manner. So, the more we do, the more it multiplies
into manifold of impurities and bad instinctive habits which sediment and embed
in one’s nature. This makes it hard to
change or remove, and it is more likely to become even worse.
This
is comparable to a kite which strings-apart and flies uncontrollably. So, Chakravartin is significant in the sense
that this body is the collector and forwarder of inputs. Then, Chakravartin also receives karmic
consequences from the Machine of Element & Essence. Nobody discloses this to the public but
Dhammakaya Meditation which was taught by our senior-most Ven. Master Luang
Phor Sodh who preached such a profound teaching. In addition, Chakravartin dwells within every
person. Whoever has the minor one or
Culla-Chakravartin, he or she will experience scarcity in living. It is also the case that one with minor
Chakravartin is more likely to incline towards the evil-side when its power
gains upper-hand. Next, as for
‘Maha-Chakravartin’ or the medium nurturer, one can make moderate earning for
living. However, to have ‘Parama-Chakravartin’
or the grand nurturer, one can be abundantly nurtured, and one’s family will be
more happy and bountiful. This is at an
individual level.
There
is also transcendroid who nurtures an entity like a group of people, family,
society and nation. For example, the Chakravartin-nurturer-transcendroid
of our country seems to be dominated by the Minor Territorial Nurturers
(Culla-Āna-Chakravartin), and many of them ally to the dark-side because the
majority of people have committed sinful deeds. Thus, the overall turns out to be like this
since the nurturers are like that. Those
who can survive or sustain are ones who have had made merit consistently, and
their Nurturer-Chakravartins do their duty in nurturing suitably to the virtues
of each individual, family, society and country, as the overall.
This
is the fact which is not disclosed to the public in general, and people are
unaware of it; otherwise, this may cause puzzlement and raise concern. Simply speaking, the Nurturer-Chakravartin
has another term as ‘Chakravartin-transcendroid’ in contrast to ‘[common]
transcendroid’ which is available within everything in our world including
soil, stone, gravel, sand, metal, gem and other elements. The [common] transcendroids who dwell within
everything and everywhere can become subordinates of
Chakravartin-transcendroid. The
differences are the sides they belong to and their might in performance. So, I wish to explain that Ven. Master Luang
Phor Sodh discovered this internal phenomena which verified the external that
materials of pure element usually have good [common] transcendroids or
Chakravartin-transcendroids, who can be accounted as good nurturers, dwelling
inside.
Thereof,
this knowledge is acquired via insight and intuition gained from practising
Dhammakaya Meditation. The methodology
is to purify gems, natural crystals and jades with meditation power in order to
turn transcendroids into good nurturers who prefer the righteous and Holy-side. Henceforth, as they also become cleaner and
purer, they can affiliate with the Nurturer-Chakravartin within each of our
bodies and assist us in meditation practice.
So, we can enter the stream of Dhamma or deeper meditative
right-concentration better. To enter good meditative right-concentration and
have successful meditation experience with right-wisdom, the consequent karmic fruitions
will turn out well because Dhamma safeguards one who practises Dhamma. Notwithstanding, one’s wealth from earning
for living will be improved and eased up when comparing to oneself without a
transcendroid. This is not meant to
compare with others, but we compare with ourselves when we have and do not have
it. Try to see how it turns out. If one has a bad transcendroid, it will bring
about a downturn.
For
example, Queen Marie Antoinette had a set of diamond jewellery which harmed
everyone who possessed it. The queen
herself finally ended up dying with a guillotine. Why? It is the good transcendroid that helps one
who does good deed and vice versa. If a
bad individual owns a bad transcendroid, the catastrophe will be doubled or
tripled. The transcendroid that belongs
to a good person will cause a mutual advancement because the transcendroid
itself is also eager to make progress in the Dhamma path. It is a taboo to publicise this, but I would
like to educate the public that transcendroids are available in every material
with no exception to iron, brass and copper.
Does it make sense to you now?
Later on, there have been transcendroid-materials discovered from time
to time. Actually, they have been around
since the ancient time, but common people did not know come about. Some people knew that they were transcendroid-materials
with certain specialties, but some did not.
Speaking
about the materials that could flow like fluid and became solid like iron once
they cooled down, people named them ‘Lek-Lai’ or mystical liquidable
metal. However, this category of mystical material is available in various
array. How could this be? When a transcendroid-material is settled
within its realm, those who know sorcery and magical spells can invite or force
the mystical metal to flow out from its place.
This is possible with their know-how.
Once the material is exposed to the air, holy water or anything else, it
becomes hardened. Some of the materials
may come out in the form of a stick which is sticky like caramel. Then, it is cut out from its source. Those who can do this are experts in specific
area which I have no idea about because it is not my concern or interest. I just want to let you know some background
on how the material can be acquired.
Another
type of mystical metal lies in the underworld.
When they are heated and exploded out from a volcano, no matter how many
million years it has been through, the heat caused the mystical metal to melt
down and gushed out. Then, they flowed
and hardened after cooling down. As a
result, they are embedded to rocks and stones at caves and mountains. These materials also have
transcendroids. Therefore, please take
into your consideration that these transcendroids are like other transcendroids
but they differ in term of might, benefit and harm which they can bring
about. There are also
transcendroid-materials which have the combinations of various types of
transcendroids. However, my point is the
key issue that still involves ‘the nurturer’.
If
a nurturer-transcendroid can make progress in the Dhamma path by entering the
stream of meditative right-concentration where it is purified, its elements can
be cleaner and qualified to become a good nurturer who belongs to the
Holy-side. For this reason, please do
not adhere to the stereotype that the mystical metal is something that people
have rumoured about. The rumour is just
a hearsay spread by people who have limited experience and incomplete
understanding, and it becomes talk of the town over time. That is just a stereotype. As the matter of fact, please note that
transcendroid-materials are available everywhere, but they differ from one
another in term of their unique specialties.
No matter what, we still regard them as nurturers. This is my point.
Especially,
this type of transcendroid-materials has a legend that everyone can learn; even
though, we cannot prove it. This legend
is beyond the extent of my omniscience in comparison to the Lord Buddha’s
insight which is the topmost. However,
please listen to this story to get some idea.
Once upon a time during the era of gap when there was no Buddha to
establish Buddhism, there were humans living on earth. By the way, this is the reason why people
make merit and wish not to reborn during the era without Buddhism. They wish to reborn only in Buddhist
eras.
The
wise makes such wish. So, where should
they head to in the afterlife? Those who
do good deeds are usually reborn in heaven or Brahma realm. When there is Buddhism on earth, they
reincarnate. Besides, those who reborn
during the interval without Buddhism can achieve the goodness at the level of ‘jhana’
or meditative absorption. Mostly, they
were ascetics and hermits who renounced the mundane world in search for true
eternal Dhamma since they realised in the impermanence and suffering of life as
well as the deformation of their bodies.
Because Dhamma was still out of their reach, they hoped that they could
live longer to enter meditative right-concentration or the stream of
Dhamma. They were aware that their
bodies would deform before they could make achievement. This is because there was no Buddhism, but
there was adequate know-how about supernatural powers. So, the ascetics and hermits created
transcendroid-materials of which they embodied their spirits inside in order to
continue their representation on earth further, as long as possible, and as the
best they could do.
In
fact, the materials were still subject to impermanence (anicca),
suffering (dukkha) and non-self (anattā),
but they could last longer than human bodies.
In addition, during the process of ‘transpirit’ (transferring spirit),
the materials could explode with the uncontrollable might of ascetics and
hermits. The materials burst into pieces
and scattered all over universes. Some
of them fall down while some others float amidst the space. As millions of year or eons have passed, the
transcendroids’ element (dhātu)
and perfection (pāramī) aged
over their evolvements. After these
ongoing, some have their own chambers and realms. This is their come about. In the latter days, the ascetics and hermits
of the newer generation know about the transcendroids, so they try to acquire
them.
Normally
these materials have guardian angels.
The angels are from lower, middle and upper classes. One may be harmed to death by angels from the
lower class if one’s might is lesser.
Also, wherever the materials are, their substances resemble the
surroundings. For example, if the
material is located where there is more magnetite, their elements turn to be
hardened and solid like iron. But they
are not iron. If they are located nearby
gemstones, they are more likely to resemble gems. If they are located amidst herbal plants,
they would look like the mixture of both.
That’s all.
Up
to this point, I would like to conclude that the transcendroids are available
in common. Personally, I planned to manage
my transcendroid-materials to go through the process which turns them into
amulets that are beneficial for meditation practice. The progressive meditation experience will
consequently secure the practitioners themselves. There is no need to adhere to the stereotype
which is influenced by the legend that caused a rumour. That is it.
My true intention is to help people to enter the stream of meditative
right-concentration better. This is my
original goal.
It
is also evidential that I had instructed and exercised vijja over here
to empower those who possess our transcendroid-amulets to remain in the stream
of Dhamma, so they can be released from their wrong view, wrong knowledge,
wrong thought and wrongdoings.
Thereafter, they can have mindfulness and enter the stream of meditative
right-concentration as much as possible.
In return, the good consequences will occur. Please do not worry. These are all of what I wish to say and make
you understand and forget your stereotype.
Simply speaking, from now on, please call them ‘the
transcendroids’. That’s all about it. I also make a parenthesis to let you know
what it is, but this is not meant to cause overexcitement like others do.
In
fact, transcendroids have been around ever since. People make use of them, but it is not
something to be told. As far as I know,
I think I am the only one who gives a lecture on transcendroid this much. If you ask about it somewhere else, you may
learn something else. Please take this
to your full comprehension, and that’s enough.
If you ask others further, it may even cause problems. Thailand is the land of Buddhism, and
transcendroids have been waiting to enter the stream of Dhamma. Without Buddhism, they know that their goal
won’t be achieved as this will end their opportunity to enter meditative
right-concentration which both living creatures and transcendroids have long
for. Thus, they come to help altogether
with teachers and masters.
Our
fore-masters from the past to present have compassionate hearts. Some of them reprimand and punish disciples
because the disciples committed wrongdoings, but the masters’ hearts were
compassionate. The cultivation of
fore-masters in the past makes them become good role models for masters and
teachers in the present. They are in no way to be compared with each other, but
those who are highly virtuous still follow the same trait. Therefore, my very goal is to make you all
enter and remain in the stream of Dhamma or meditative
right-concentration. If you commit
wrongdoings, you will be held responsible for the bad consequences. If you do good deeds, the consequences will
turn out well. This is all about
it. The more you do good deeds, the better
because your transcendroids will become more mighty and powerful. That’s it.
Please take this into your comprehension. My lecture is a bit long. That’s all.
Question
& Answer Session
I
got numerous questions. Okay, let’s
start from the difficult one. Someone questioned
“I wish to ask what a ‘crystal ball’ is.
Which sacred being is inside? How
can it help humans? Wouldn’t this
contradict to the Karma Law? What is the
difference between a crystal ball and Buddha amulets of Wat Paknam temple in
term of might?”
This
is quite an interesting question because anyone who becomes Dhammakaya
Meditation practitioners would have experienced and learned about
‘transcendroid’ (kayasiddhi). We
have to start from a fair understanding that Luang Phor Sodh practiced
meditation until he attained Dhammakaya, and he could reach further sublime
bodies including the Dhammakaya of enlightened arahants and Dhammakaya of Lord
Buddhas. Here it is, please listen
carefully. As he deepened into
meditation, he found that in the middle of sentient beings, there were
‘Chakravartin’ dwelling inside throughout physical body until the final
immaterial body.
The
Buddha is supreme in term of ‘Dhamma’, but Chakravartin prevails in term of
‘abundance’. This is because
Chakravartin is the transcendroid body who nurtures every single living body
from the crudest to the most sublime level.
Even the members of Nirvana are nurtured with sacred merit (puñña), perfected merit (pāramī), radiated merit (rasmi),
mighty merit (rddhi), powerful merit (amnat), rightful merit (siddhi)
and mandatory-merit (chieb-kard).
This is the duty of Nurturer-Chakravartin who naturally exists, starting
from the Nirvana downward. Chakravartin
stations within every single body including arupa-brahma body, rupa-brahma
body, celestial body, until reaching the physical human body, respectively.
Nurture
with what? The Holy-side nurtures with
‘merit’ and vice versa, when sentient beings commit good karma, bad karma, and
neither good nor bad karma. Previously,
I mentioned about the Lords of Primitive Element & Essence who belong to
the Holy-side (Buddha) and the dark-side (mara). Their qualities are called ‘the pure Dhamma’
and ‘the dark Dhamma’. There is also
another side called ‘the neutral Dhamma’ which is neither good nor bad. In term of the innermost body of the
dark-side and the neutral-side, I do not wish to call them ‘Buddha’, but I call
them ‘the ultimate body’ or their ‘Lords of Primitive Element &
Essence’. They also transmit their ‘pitaka’
namely ignorance (avijjā),
defilement (kilesa), craving (taṇhā),
attachment (upādāna) into element (dhātu) & essence (dhamma) of perception, recognition,
thought and cognition of sentient beings who accept their Dhamma(s).
Similar
to the Holy-side, if any of the sentient beings open its mind to accept the
pure Dhamma, the Holy-side will transmit qualities from the Holy Lords of
Primitive Element & Essence, passing through body to body of Buddhas, from
the most sublime level towards the physical body. Likewise, the neutral-side does the
same. Now that we understand how Dhamma
works, I shall explain them in parallel.
Let’s start from bottom to top.
Whenever the dark-side transmits its qualities from the Evil Lords of
Primitive Element & Essence to a human body, and a human body opens one’s
mind to accept the dark-Dhamma; thereafter, the immorality namely covetousness
(abhijjhā), malevolence (byāpāda) and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) enter into element &
essence of perception, recognition, thought and cognition of a human body.
On
the opposite, if a human body opens one’s mind to accept the qualities from the
Holy-side, the Holy Lords of Primitive Element & Essence will transmit the
pure-Dhamma namely generosity (dāna),
morality (sīla) and meditation (bhāvanā).
As such, these virtues are the mean to cleanse a human body’s element
& essence of perception, recognition, thought and cognition to be purer and
radiant against the defilement namely covetousness (abhijjhā), malevolence (byāpāda)
and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi). This is how Dhamma works. Do you catch up now? To clarify, the Primitive Lords transmit
their Dhamma(s) from and through which route?
They do so through the route in the middle of ever single
Nurturer-Chakravartin, from the most refined level until reaching the physical
body. There is a Nurturer-Chakravartin
in the middle of human body, and there is also another Nurturer-Chakravartin in
the middle of celestial body, and so on.
I
shall enlist from bottom to top. The
Holy-side transmits generosity (dāna),
morality (sīla) and meditation (bhāvanā) to cleanse the evil defilement
namely covetousness (abhijjhā), malevolence (byāpāda) and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) which embed inside the instinctive
consciousness of a human body.
Henceforth, whoever can eradicate covetousness (abhijjhā),
malevolence (byāpāda) and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) within a human body by the power of generosity
(dāna), morality (sīla) and meditation (bhāvanā),
one can attain the refined human body and gain insight as well as
intuition. However, the insight and
intuition may not be available if one does not practise meditation, but one
will realise by oneself that one’s mind is relieved from covetousness (abhijjhā),
malevolence (byāpāda) and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) made possible with the cultivation of generosity
(dāna), morality (sīla) and meditation (bhāvanā). However, if one practises Dhammakaya
Meditation, one will see one’s own clear and radiant refined human body.
Now
that we understand the part of physical human body, we are going to continue
furthermore. In the meanwhile, the dark-side
also transmits its qualities into the middle of celestial body. If one is still obsessed to the evil-Dhamma,
the dark-side will send greed (lobha), anger (dhosa) and delusion
(moha) into the middle of element & essence of perception,
recognition, thought and cognition of the celestial body. As an individual is overwhelmed with greed (lobha),
anger (dhosa) and delusion (moha), the Holy-side will transmit
morality (sīla), concentration (samādhi) and wisdom (paññā)
to eradicate the aforesaid evil defilement within element & essence of
perception, recognition, thought and cognition of the celestial body whenever
one opens one’s mind to accept such pure-Dhamma.
In
the same manner, the Holy-side transmits higher morality (adhisīla),
higher mentality (adhicitta) and higher wisdom (adhipaññā) into the
middle of element & essence of perception, recognition, thought and
cognition of the rupa-brahma body as the means to eliminate lust (raga),
anger (dosa) and delusion (moha) within the rupa-brahma
body. For the arupa-brahma body, if one
opens one’s mind to accept the evil quality, the evil Nurturer-Chakravartin
will nurture arupa-brahma body with bad qualities namely grudge (patigha),
sensual desire (kāmarāga) and
ignorance (avijja). If
one’s mind is virtuously superior to the bad qualities, one can open one’s mind
to accept paṭhama-magga, magga-citta
and magga-paññā which are the
pure-Dhamma that can rid grudge (patigha), sensual desire (kāmarāga) and ignorance
(avijja) within an arupa-brahma body.
These phenomena occur in the middle of the middle of oneself.
Opening
one’s mind to accept superior pure-Dhamma through the cultivation of merit and
perfection which empowers an individual even more, one will respectively attain
Gotrabhu Dhammakaya, Sotapanna Dhammakaya, Sagidagami Dhammakaya,
Arahat Dhammakaya, and Buddhahood-enlightenment, each of which is the tool to
eliminate mental fetters (saṃyojana)
which entangle one’s mind to the mundane world.
The mental fetters (saṃyojana)
are false view of individuality (sakkāya-diṭṭhi), doubt in Buddha (vicikicchā)
and adherence to rituals (sīlabbata-parāmāsa). These are chained to the Gotrabhu
Dhammakaya, so the Gotrabhu Dhammakaya is not fully blissful or ‘enlightained’
(delightful entertainment from enlightenment).
In fact, the fetters are not really embedded in Gotrabhu Dhammakaya, but
they lie within the instinctive consciousness of sentient beings. Until an individual adequately prospers
wisdom to gain insight and intuition upon the Dhamma state of Four Noble Truths
(ariyasacca), one is able to accept magga-citta and magga-paññā which
are the Dhammic qualities of Sotapanna’s path (sotāpatti-magga)
and Sotapanna’s fruition (sotāpatti-phala) in order to
cleanse away false view of individuality (sakkāya-diṭṭhi), doubt
in Buddha (vicikicchā) and adherence to rituals (sīlabbata-parāmāsa).
To
accept the superior pure-Dhamma, greed (lobha), anger (dhosa) and
delusion (moha) will be lightened and finally rid-off from Sotapanna
Dhammakaya. As a result, one’s mind
turns pure and becomes Sagidagami Dhammakaya.
Transmitting even further, as one practises in compliance to the pure-Dhamma
more and more, the Anagami’s path (anagami-magga) and Anagami’s fruiton
(anagami-phala) are the Dhammic qualities that eradicate grudge (patigha) and sensual desire (kāmarāga)
from the instinctive consciousness, causing ignorance (avijjā) to be lightened. Then, one attains Anagami’s path (anagami-magga)
and Anagami’s fruition (anagami-phala).
Advancing into refinement, the Arahat’s path (arahatta-magga) and
Arahat’s fruition (arahatta-phala) are the means to completely rid-off
attachment to realm of material meditative absorption (rūparāga), attachment to realm of
immaterial meditative absorption (arūparāga),
conceit (māna), wandering
thought (uddhacca) and ignorance (avijjā)
which are fettered in a creature’s mind.
It goes on, step by step, like this until reaching the
Buddhahood-enlightenment which means the Dhammakaya attains Buddhahood, of
which one can wipe away more or less of mental restrictiveness which limits or
prevents one from gaining omniscience based on empowerment from cultivated
perfections.
Here
it is! The Holy-side transmits its
qualities from the Holy Lords of Primitive Element & Essence, passing
through Lord Buddhas in the disembodiment Nirvana until reaching sentient
beings. ‘Body in body’ means the
uttermost sublime level reaches the physical level like this. Frankly speaking, Dhamma practice is to
practise the conducts to accept the pure-Dhamma from the Holy-side in order to
cleanse away the elemental (dhātu)
and essential (dhamma) qualities from the evil-side. For this reason, I claim that the Lord
Buddhas prevail the Dhamma role whereas they are nurtured by Chakravartins. A Nurturer-Chakravartin’s duty is to submit
and transmit. They can do this because
their bodies are more sublime, from level to level, respectively. From bottom to the top, it ranges from the
nurturer, inserter, deliverer, administrator, governor, and Lords of Primitive
Element & Essence. From top to
bottom, the Dhamma qualities are sent back from level to level along the same
route towards each Nurturer-Chakravarti to nurture each body. The Holy-side nurtures with merit, and when
we are unmindful, the evil-side takes turn to nurture with sin.
The
Nurturer-Chakravartins are available throughout one’s lineage of element &
essence from Dhammakaya towards the physical human body whom is nurtured with
both Dhamma qualities and karmic consequences.
Because when a creature has wrong knowledge, view, thought and action,
he or she, then, sides to the evil who conquers the element & essence of
one’s perception, recognition, thought and cognition. Once one is conquered, he or she is motivated
and persuaded to behave in-line to the evil’s demerit (unwholesome pitaka)
namely covetousness (abhijjhā), malevolence (byāpāda) and wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi), these are for humans. Then, there are greed (lobha),
anger (dhosa) and delusion (moha) for the celestial. Next, there are lust (raga), anger (dosa)
and delusion (moha) for the rupa-brahma body, and grudge (patigha),
sensual desire (kāmarāga) and ignorance (avijja) for the
arupa-brahma body.
This
is how the evil-side works. It keeps
nurturing creatures with these demerits and motivates them to behave
accordingly to its influence and power.
After one behaves per such influence, the evil Nurturer-Chakravartin
will collect the causal inputs of one’s misdeeds including unwholesome action,
speech and thought which are motivated by mental defilement namely ignorance (avijjā) towards clinging (upādāna), which give rise to the
becoming (bhava), birth (jāti), aging & death (jarāmaraṇa) and suffering (dukkha). The causal inputs are collected and submitted
through a route in the middle of evil Nurturer-Chakravartin. The submission passes through different
bodies on the way until reaching its topmost refinement where the Evil Lords of
Primitive Element and Essence reside.
Then, the inputs are submitted to the evil Machine of Element and
Essence which calculates the inputs and formulates & processes into karmic
fruitions. Then, the outputs are
transmitted back in the form of both mental defilements which are intensified
and embedded in the instinctive consciousness of a creature resulting it to be
more likely to commit more misdeeds always.
The bad qualities embed in one’s mind in the form of unwholesome
proclivity (anusaya); therefore, one prefers committing more wrongdoings,
and the nurturer keeps collecting bad causal inputs to be submitted,
formulated, processed and returned to the human body more frequently. As a result, the bad karmic fruitions or
consequences dominate the physical living of a creature who is enslaved by the
evil-side.
Similarly,
the Holy-side does alike. When a
creature commits good deeds, the Holy Nurturer-Chakravartin automatically and
promptly collects the causal inputs of meritorious deeds such as wholesome
generosity (dāna-kusala),
wholesome morality (sīla-kusala)
and wholesome meditation (bhāvanā-kusala) which are the
pure-Dhamma called ‘humanity’ for humans.
Furtherly, there is the celestial body’s mental abode (deva-dhamma)
which comprises of generosity (dāna),
morality (sīla), meditation (samādhi) and wisdom (paññā).
In the level of rupa-brahma, there is the rupa-brahma mental abode (brahma-dhamma)
which comprises of higher morality (adhisīla), higher mentality (adhicitta) and higher
wisdom (adhipaññā). For
the arupa-brahma who are almost beyond the mundane, their mental abode are patthama-magga,
magga-citta and magga-paññā. Finally, one enters the Dhamma of Gotrabhu,
Sotapanna, Sagidagami, Anagami, Arahat and the Buddhahood enlightenment. In these cases, the Nurturer-Chakravartin
will submit the causal inputs to the most sublimity in order to be calculated,
formulated and processed into merit (puñña),
perfected merit (pāramī),
intermediate perfected merit (upapāramī)
and advance perfected merit (paramatthapāramī)
as well as good karmic consequences to be transmitted back to the human body,
so he or she can be blessed to live in peace, happiness and prosperity.
At
the same time, the accumulated merit is multiplied into manifold to become
perfected merit, intermediate perfected merit and advanced perfected merit. The ultimate advanced perfected merit (paramatthapāramī) crystallises into radiated
merit (rasmi); the ultimate radiated merit crystallises into mighty
merit (rddhi); the ultimate mighty merit crystallises into powerful
merit (amnat); the ultimate powerful merit crystallises into rightful
merit (siddhi); the ultimate rightful merit crystallises into mandatory-merit
(chieb-kard). This is the
extraordinary of Dhammakaya Meditation which allows practitioners to see, know
and discover. So far, we see how the Nurturer-Chakravartin submits causal
inputs and transmits consequential outputs back and forth repeatedly towards
the element & essence of a creature’s perception, recognition, thought and
cognition. This is to exemplify the case
of a human only.
What
about other living creature who commits misdeeds? It is about the same. The evil Nurturer-Chakravartin who dwells in
the middle of a living creature submits the causal inputs of misdeeds, and the
bad karmic consequential outputs are formulated, processed and returned. As such, a living creature who accumulates
the bad formulated karmic fruitions which are reproductive karmas (janaka-kamma)
that force such living creature to reborn in the realms of suffering in the
afterlife such as the realm of animal-beings, hungry-ghost and hells. Each animal also has its evil
Nurturer-Chakravartin who does its duty.
If it does misdeeds, the transmitted delusion (moha) will be multiplied
more and more because animal-beings are dominated by delusion. Thereafter, the karmic fruitions are
formulated in order to enforce such animal to become animal further and
further, repeatedly and endlessly, until it becomes a single-cell being. However, if it does good deeds, the Nurturer-Chakravartin
who belongs to the Holy-side will does his duty by collecting the causal inputs
of meritorious deeds to be submitted and transmitted back as fruitions.
The
three sides of element & essence compete each other in this manner to
govern sentient beings. It is like
playing a game of musical chairs where creatures are like puppets that the
three sides take control alternately depending on the Dhammic qualities which
ones decide to accept. Whenever one
tunes one’s mind to accept a Dhamma quality, the responsible side will take
control upon the receiver immediately while the receiver may be unaware of this
process. If one is aware and mindful of
this, there would be no problem. Here is
the cause. Now, let’s talk about hell
creatures by starting from ‘Aveji Hell’ which is one of the most violent. Hell creatures are tortured with punishing
tools. For example, the one who
committed the most serious misdeeds (ānantariya-kamma)..
this is not my own words.. but it is from a scripture. A hell creature is kilometers-tall, and it is
imprisoned with punishing tools caused by karma.
It
is the evil-side (mara) who formulated karmic fruitions, so a hell
creature is pierced with iron shafts from the top of skull to bottom, left to
right and front to back. Each shaft is
like a tall palm tree that fixes the naked hell creature to its place where its
body keeps burning and cannot move. This
is from a scripture. If we take a bit of
hell-fire and flick to the Sumeru Mountain, the mountain would tumble down
since its heat is very destructive. The
hell creature keeps burning like that, but it does not die and turn into
ashes. It is still alive.
This
is how the evil Machine of Element & Essence formulates karmic fruitions
and transmits to the evil Nurturer-Chakravartin who performs its duty by
nurturing the element & essence of such creature to keep suffering
painfully and crying. Its body is hot
like a heated metal that burns into smoke, but it does not die. You can ask those who attain Dhammakaya like
the children or others. To explore the
deeper hell realm, there is ‘Lokanta Hell’ where skinny hell creatures are
starving. They have long and sharp nails
gripping on the edge of universe. When
they find their fellow hell creatures, they pounce on each other and fight with
an aim to eat one another as food. As
they lose their grips, they fall down into a sea of acid. The acid is not something to play with. Try dipping your hand into it. Acid in the human world is lesser than half
in destruction. Once the hell creatures
fall down into the sea of acid, their bodies burn down completely, but they
reborn to be a Lokanta hell creature again and again. Better forget that they would have a chance
to return. These hell creatures are members
of the evil-side. The evil
Nurturer-Chakravartin nurtures them to be like that.
Thereof,
the Nurturer-Chakravartin prevails throughout including animals, but we take
into account of the side they belong to.
The Holy-side nurtures with wholesomeness and wholesome karmic fruitions
after collecting the causal inputs of meritorious deeds to be submitted to the
Holy Lords of Primitive Element & Essence and the Holy Machine of Element
& Essence which formulates the karmic fruitions to be returned to a
creature automatically at all time. As a
result, the wholesomeness prospers in one’s mind where merit crystallises into
perfected merit, intermediate perfected merit, advanced perfected merit, radiated
merit, mighty merit, powerful merit, rightful merit, and mandatory-merit. These empower one to rid-off more of the evil
quality. Whoever reaches the source of
sacred merit, perfected merit, radiated merit, mighty merit, powerful merit,
rightful merit, and mandatory-merit of Holy Chakravartins, furthermore towards
earlier bodies, one will be able to eliminate more of mental defilement (kilesa)
with superior right and power.
What
we do here is to acquire right and power from absolute element (dhātu) and essence (dhamma) in order
to rid-off the contamination from the evil-side which conditions the element
& essence of sentient beings by staring from ourselves and extending to
others, more or less. Now that we know
the existence of Chakravartin, please be advised further that Chakravartin is
the chief of the Seven Precious who are Chakravartin’s tools and
subordinates. The seven precious are
bladed discus, noble elephant, noble steed, noble lady, lord of force, lord of
treasury, crystal ball, magnifier sphere and telescope sphere which are crystal
clear spheres located in the middle of each other. These are the means of Nurturer-Chakravartin,
the leader of nurturing-crew. Their
priority is to nurture sentient beings with resource and wellbeing. Each of the sentient beings has one’s own
Chakravartin and crew.
The
knowledge on Chakravartin makes us aware of the mutual support among each side. The Holy or meritorious side is the one with
right-view who supports those with right-view whilst the rival one who has
wrong-view supports those with wrong view.
Doesn’t it make sense now? Simply
speaking, we call them ‘the nurturers’.
To give more details, the Chakravartin and Seven Precious also have
‘transcendroids’ (kayasiddhi) as their subordinates. These transcendroids exist in natural element
& essence. Mostly, the
transcendroids which belong to the Holy-side dwell in pure natural materials
which are clear like semi-precious stones and gemstones with some
exceptions. Therefore, it is prevalent
that Dhammakaya Meditation practitioners convert precious stones into spheres
or Buddha statues and purify them with meditation power in order to turn them
to be wholesome. So, they can work in
compliance to the Holy-side.
You
may have heard a history about a queen who possessed a set of diamond jewellery
and got executed. That was due to the
work of evil Chakravartin. To conclude,
transcendroids (kayasiddhi) are subordinates of Chakravartin and Seven Precious,
and they dwell inside natural materials, especially the pure elements. Please do not question where they are
from. It will take longer time to
explain. That’s all for now. The transcendroids of the Holy-side assist
one to attain meditation experience easily and earn enough for livings and
sustenance. This is wealth in the
wholesome way.
Venerables..
this is the reason why I had a natural jadeite carved into a Buddha statue to
be enshrined at my temple. The hardness
of jadeite is approximately 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, in comparison to
the hardness of diamond which is 10.
Also, there are Buddha statues carved from rock crystal which are
naturally clear. So, we can have
subordinate transcendroids who can assist the Nurturer-Chakravartin and Seven Precious
within our physical human bodies who leads the team. It is like someone who has many followers, so
they can be helpful in term of wealth, manpower and better meditation
advancement. This is to make it easy for
you.
If
you doubt why this is possible, I would like to mention that the visualising of
a clear crystal ball or a crystal clear Buddha statue can foster meditation
practitioners to still and stop their minds better in the middle of seed
element & essence of their origins at ease. In addition, to embed a Dhammakaya Body into a
crystal ball, this will increase the opportunity for meditation practitioners
to still their minds within stillness; in the middle of the middle; at the
centre of centre of body; through the feeling within feeling and the state of
Dhamma experience within Dhamma experience, from the physical body towards
sublimity where Dhammakaya rests within.

About Lecturer:
The Most Venerable Master Phra Thepyanmongkol (Sermchai
Jayamanggalo) was born on 6 March 1929. While he was a layman, he worked as a
research specialist at the United States Information Services (USIS) in
Bangkok. Also, he was a visiting lecturer in research methodology, research and
evaluation, and public opinion surveys to various academic institutions in Thailand.
Sermchai began practising meditation in 1970. After he made an attainment
according to the Dhammakaya Meditation, he furthered his meditation to the
advanced level with the Most Venerable Master Phrarajbrahmathera (Veera
Kanuttamo), the past vice abbot and head of Vipassana Meditation department of
Wat Paknam Temple in Bangkok, who studied the superknowledge of Dhammakaya
directly with the Most Venerable Master Phramongkolthepmuni (Luang Phor Sodh).
After Sermchai’s achievement in meditation, he entered Buddhist monkhood on 6
March 1986. As a Buddhist monk, he spent years studying Buddhist doctrine and
Pali language until he completed the advanced level of Dhamma study and level
six of Pali curriculum. In 1991, he established Wat Luang Phor Sodh
Dhammakayaram to be a centre for Dhamma study and meditation practice in
Rajaburi Province. Later on, in 1996, he
became a certified Buddhist preceptor. As a recognition to his works which
benefit Buddhism and the society, Venerable Sermchai was promoted for the first
time to the ecclesiastical title of Phra Bhavana Visutthikhun in 1998. In 2004,
he was promoted to the title of Phra Rajyanvisith. He was promoted again to the
higher ecclesiastical title of Phra Thepyanmongkol in 2011. Throughout years of
his monkhood, the Most Venerable Master Sermchai has tirelessly promoted Dhamma
study and Dhammakaya Meditation practice in order to solve root problems for
sentient beings. With his qualified knowledge gained from the modern education
system and profession as well as knowledge about Dhamma doctrine and meditation
experience, the Most Venerable Master Sermchai has authored many books on
Buddhism and meditation. In addition, as the abbot of Wat Luang Phor Sodh
Dhammakayaram, he has organized meditation retreat and training for both Thais
and foreigners. After decades of
devotion to Vijja Dhammakaya meditation practice and propagation, he passed
away on 7 October 2018, leaving behind his hallmarked achievement as one of a
few successful Dhammakaya masters with outnumbered students who could attain
and exercise the superknowledge of Dhammakaya (vijja Dhammakaya).
