Meetings with a Dhammakaya Master : หน้า 106/164

Meetings with a Dhammakaya Master discovered the Law of Kamma. He was not the creator of the Law, but the re-discoverer of the Law of Kamma. All beings who do evil or wrong things will discover the Law of Kamma after death, if not before. This discovery comes from seeing with the inner brightness of our mind. When evil people die, and we ask about where they are (in Heaven or Hell) we will not be able to point to them, but we will be able to see them when we meditate. This is the time that the Buddha saw Heaven and Hell. So we will be able to see Hell in one of two ways: (1) Meditate, increase our brightness, and see what it is like, and (2) Do bad/evil things, and go see it for yourself, experience it yourself. Here, the Buddha witnessed birth and death. "The third supreme enlightenment occurred when the Buddha brought His mind to a total standstill and saw the accumulated defilements from all lifetimes. He brought to His mind all of these and discovered the Four Noble Truths and the method to end suffering, which is the Eightfold Noble Path. At this stage, He could see and know both. After He knew this, His mind was free: It was free not to be born, free from ignorance, and He knew that He knew He was free from rebirth." With this, the session is over.

There are several English speakers, so we have Luang Pi Pasura and Luang Pi Joshua as our translators. We also have delicious Thai food awaiting us for lunch! 2PM – 18 March 2010 This is a time for Questions and Answers. We have been asked to write them down on a piece of paper and submit them to Luang Por’s secretary. Luang Por will then decide which are the most relevant, and answer those questions. Q: Could we discuss more about the Buddha’s enlightenment that we talked about this morning and what happened during the process? A: The Buddha saw Hell and Heaven because of the brightness from inside of His mind. If He saw the mind and the defilements of the mind, then He must be in a celestial body. This is the inner body, or the body within the body. If you meditate, you will see it. Sometimes, for example, you see a body in a dream. That is your astral body, but your light astral body. You can see it clearly in your dreams, but when you get up, you don’t see it again. But, if you practice, you will be able to see it again. You have not just your 105
