PART 1: 

Concentration - Serenity - Lucidity 

"Spiritual cultivation lasts a whole life, spiritual enlightenment occurs in an instant".

EXTRACT LECTURE BY MASTER VI-KIEN at the Meditation Center  "Mai Binh" in Houston, Texas, on Nov. 19, 1988

As spiritual adepts, what results do we wish to attain?

We wish to return to the true nature of a spiritual adept!

As spiritual adepts, we must practice. If we do not practice, we only carry the name of a spiritual adept, but we lack spiritual cultivation.

Consequently, in the future, our soul will be aimless on this earth, or it will linger in the darkness of hell.

At that time, to whom can we lament? Whom will we be able to meet?

Today, we have a physical body, we have the opportunity to meet each other, we have the time to exchange spiritual matters through our consciousness, and we can deeply understand our existing position through the means of our body, and through the sound of the universe. 

Recently, I have often explained in my audio tapes to make it clear that we are all special human beings on this earth.

We all have a place to contribute in this universe, and our souls all possess the vibrations of pure energy.

Therefore, we are gathered here today, but what are we longing for? Serenity.

Everyone wants to attain serenity. Everyone wants to develop their existing pure energy to live in harmony with the vibrations of the whole universe. We want to know who we are? Where do we come from, and where will we go?

We should see our true and honest nature more clearly each day, and take that opportunity to elevate ourselves further in a graceful way.

Therefore, there is a saying: "Spiritual cultivation lasts a whole life, spiritual enlightenment occurs in an instant".

You practice meditation night after night, day after day, steadily, while you carry this physical body and encounter innumerable situations on earth, like family, wife and kids, society, the homeland... All these issues are burdening your consciousness and never allow you a minute of rest. Why?

They will forge you to become a precious jewel, a priceless diamond  inside your inner consciousness. You are an indestructible and noble soul in this universe. 

Vô-Vi practitioners must clearly comprehend the meaning of Vô-Vi. Vô means emptiness, Vi means small. Inside the "being", there is the "non-being", which is called indestructible! 

On the other hand, if we search for the "being", if we hold to the "being" present and tangible before our eyes, this "being" will become "non-being".

We can see this clearly, and we will have the opportunity to read our bible without words in our own consciousness.

The infinite evolution on earth has given us gradual knowledge, step by step, and our spiritual level has also evolved accordingly.

You are sitting here, face-to-face with me, but you all have different spiritual levels.

From young to old, each person has a different level, a different vibration, a different spiritual consciousness.

But if we turn to the World Above, we will have the opportunity to transform ourselves and advance toward infinity.

If we know that our true nature is infinite, we will no longer be confused on our social and spiritual paths.

We know that anywhere, all life comes from this universe, and anywhere, we must utilize the original energy of the whole universe for survival.

In our daily exchange, at each hour, minute and second, the original energy of the whole universe is constantly helping our consciousness to evolve further.

It belongs to the Esoteric Science and Dharma of Buddha, while the material science has only come to its threshold.

The material science can touch it and have a partial understanding, but it is not yet able to fully comprehend it. 

Here, you are learning about the Esoteric Science and Dharma of Buddha inside your inner consciousness. In this earthly world, people can neither explain nor describe it yet.

Therefore, once you are able to enter the state of meditative contemplation during meditation, you can easily compose poems. 

         Who is helping you? Where does this lucidity come from?

It comes from the equilibrium you have attained in your consciousness, so you are now able to store the pure energy. You are able to assemble your energy, focus it, and turn it into poems in order to remind yourself to ascend higher.

         Concentration, Serenity, Lucidity: You must go through each stage.

Therefore, many Vô-Vi practitioners say that they used to be ignorant and unable to write poems, but now they can compose poems easily. But which level have we entered?

The sphere of the Immortals contains various realms shining upon us. Similarly, the sphere of the Buddhas also includes many realms shining upon us.

To determine whether we possess a spiritual level, and what level do we have?

We must persevere, we must be patient, we must practice utmost patience and resignation in order to receive the available pure energy of the universe, and offer our share of pure energy that we have gained by restoring our order and equilibrium to the universe.

We, as a group of people, are sitting in this meditation center and listening to words that help liberate our souls. All of us have our consciousness turned toward deliverance of the soul. Therefore, this center becomes instantly pure and light.

There is no chaos, there is no noisy disagreement because everyone is aware that our position is tightly connected with the universe. We are currently working together, so there is no intransigence and fighting, there is no agitation and infatuation.
