Q. What is the easiest and safest path to self-realization and god-realization?

M. This method. Did they say it? "Immediate Enlightenment" "Quan Yin Method". That's the best, the easiest and the quickest. You get enlightened immediately without any preparation, without any cost, without any condition today after the lecture. Okay? And if you don't get enlightenment immediately, money-back guarantee. (Laughter & applause) Oh, by the way... by the way, there's no money-back guarantee because we don't charge a penny. (Laughter and applause.)

Q. Is the only way to go to God through initiation in the light and sound?

M. Yeah, that's the last part of the journey. You have many other ways also, but if you don't reach there, then you are not there. Just like the door of the house. Doesn't matter from which road you travel, if you do not pass through that gate, you do not enter the house, yeah? So, we start from there because we are more fortunate.

Q. Do you feel this initiation is important? Why can it not be done on our own?

M. The question answers itself, um. If you have done it yourself, then it's not necessary to get an initiation. But if you couldn't do it, if you haven't seen the light of God and the sound of heaven, then, initiation is necessary. Besides there are many steps to heaven that you must know, verbally, the instruction, and so many pitfalls that you should avoid. And if you do not know that, you'd waste a lot of time, and sometimes it's dangerous, um.

Q. Master, there are billions of people alive today who would pass from this life without being initiated into your program. Does this mean that they can not reach enlightenment in this lifetime by any other means?

M. Yes, they can, they can; but the degree is different, you see? And sometimes in deep prayer, they have a glimpse of enlightenment, but that is flickering and sometimes it's gone again. And they don't know; again they are back into ignorance. But initiation means permanent. You know definitely where the switch is, and you switch it on any time you want. And you are inside the circle of light . But enlightenment from other ways, it is not always permanent and sometimes it's dangerous because people do not know how to handle the newly discovered energy. Therefore some people become mentally disturbed and all kinds of queer things, or abusing of the magical power which is from a lower level and become anything, you know, magician, healers, any kind without reaching the highest level of consciousness. Because without the guidance of the Master, we do not know where we are heading to, and then we stumble around and we play around with all kinds of things, and sometimes it's dangerous.

Because the path of enlightenment is also full of tricks and pitfalls which we should avoid. And with an experienced guide, it's easier, faster, safer. But what can we do? The world is like that; that's why it is the world. If the worldly people are all enlightened, we don't call this earth "world," we call it "heaven," understand? And the atmosphere around us will be different, Everything will be different. And then we don't even need to work for food, we don't even need to want anything. All things will be there just like in heaven because our merit will be different, will be many folds, thousand folds. Up to now just a few millions of people are enlightened, The merit is not enough to cover the whole earth population, understand? Therefore we still have disasters, we still have wars even though it's less than before. And all the politicalisms already lessen in its intensity, and the threat of the fourth war, fourth world war or fifth world war is far away now, understand? Because the majority of the people have a higher awareness at the present century, due to the mass media, the broadcasting system of Master's enlightening message around the world, and due to the large numbers of people who join into the enlightened circle of the sage. Therefore our world is better.
