Love Is A Flower Field

Q&A Session At The Quy-Thuc Meditation Center in Amphion-Les-Bains, France, 3-Oct-1986

Why do they not listen to the advice of their family?

The family is a means from God to lead us to spiritual cultivation by subjecting us to critics and tribulations.

We cannot teach our own family members, but Vô-Vi friends can do it.

It is strange like that.

Master Tư has reached enlightenment through his spiritual cultivation. But even as an enlightened person, he was not able to teach his daughter. He found no way to convince his daughter!

My situation was the same. While I was perfecting myself spiritually, my wife, Mrs. Tám, only disdained me, and did not think that I was a righteous spiritual adept.

“Why do you suddenly sit cross-legged? Ha! If you want to become a Buddha easily, why don’t you enter a pagoda and wear a saffron robe?”

She continued to show contempt until I told her:

“I will only talk to you 10 years from now. At that time, everyone will listen to my words.”

Eventually, a lot of people came to see me, but she still did not believe me.

“You are a liar. You just pour tea to people to drink. I can also buy coffee and invite people. They will certainly come in droves.” 

I told her: “OK, Go invite people!”.

I let her invite people for a week, but no one came!

At that time, she softened a little bit, but she still felt it was not agreeable, it was not correct.

“Alright, we’ll see how you perfect yourself spiritually! I don’t care if you return to Heaven, I will be a devil and remain on earth. I like to eat meat, so I will be a devil.”

Slowly, other Vô-Vi practitioners taught her how to practice.

Ha! She then called them her Master, but she never called me her Master.

Therefore, everyone has their own teacher. Do you see it?

When I have a karmic affinity with a certain person, I need to talk to them with greatest sincerity.

Similarly, halfway on your spiritual journey, you will meet a different karmic relation. But you should continue on your journey, and not show contempt.

We should learn more lessons, because we have not learned enough.  The path of return to our origin is infinite, so we must learn everything. We do not dismiss anything.

If an evil spirit comes to teach us, we still need to learn, because with our Vô-Vi method, we do not fear evilness. Our method is a method to preserve the pure and discard the impure. So, we are able to purify ourselves. We can learn from an evil spirit, then we can release their impure energy through our meditation practice. Only then will we be able to provide infinite guidance to others.

Therefore, we should not criticize the impure spirit and fall into a trap. God may appear through an evil spirit, but if you destroy or disdain it, He may drop you and not come back.

He can let you be your own master, so you will keep floating aimlessly on the river of life. Do you see it?

Then, when will you be able to return to the shore of enlightenment?

This is the freedom that God has granted us.

Therefore, a spiritual adept on earth must encounter challenges halfway in his spiritual journey.

He must be subjected to karmic lessons, in order to ascend higher, to attain greater lucidity in his consciousness. However, once he encounters karmic retributions, he would become discouraged.

What kind of trials and tribulations would come to a person who likes sexual love?

Girls. Only beautiful girls can subject them to trials and tribulations.

They know about beauty and that sexual love is one of the greatest sins.

They have read the book “Voyages to Hell” which also said that sexual love is the greatest sin.

They remind themselves in their consciousness, but they cannot avoid it. Why? Because they lack spiritual practice. They crawl into the darkness of sexual love because they lack spiritual practice.

If they do not awaken their consciousness, they will sink completely. However, one day, they will knock their heads off, and return to awakening. Do you see it?

Inside that battlefield of blinded passions, they will awaken and get out.  At that time, they will march with greater courage.

Currently, their parents cannot restrain them with their advice. Even a husband or wife cannot advise the other person. There is no way, because this person wants to enter a place of self-destruction, so we need to let him go.

They will go for a certain time, until they would hit their head and understand. They will see that this sin will torture them a lot.

Speaking of earthly love, if his mother asks him to buy a coffee, he will refuse. But if his girlfriend asks him, he will readily be a servant at her side. Do you all see clearly? Therefore, he tortures himself infinitely.

He tortures himself from beginning to end. He is not at peace even in his sleep. He worries at each step, filled with jealousy, alternating between hatred and love.

The other person is tormenting him, and he is subject to karmic retributions without knowing it.

He believes that without the other person, his life will be a failure. He keeps thinking in that way. “Without this person, my life is worthless!”. But in reality, this person is a representative of God.

This person is like a rod that God uses to whip his head, so that he opens his mind and awakens his consciousness. He sees that he sinks deeper and becomes more and more dependent each day.

He unknowingly imprisons himself into a narrow and dark area. He has abandoned the spiritual path without knowing it.

To abandon the spiritual path is the greatest suffering. One must descend into an obscure environment, void of any freedoms, any rights, any status. One no longer has a position, and everything is dictated by the other person.

Therefore, one must suffer when sinking into love. There is a worldly saying: “Love is a flower field. Whoever enters it must shed grieving tears”, isn’t it true? The French say : “ L’Amour, c’est un champ de fleurs, Qui y entre sans verser de pleurs? “

No one can escape, do you see it? Therefore, we clearly see this darkness, so why would we crawl into that space? We have a consciousness, we have a father and a mother, we have Heaven and Earth, we have the whole universe. Why would we crawl into this dark area to torment ourselves, to oppress ourselves? Do you see it clearly?

Therefore, this is just unending suffering, but they don’t know it.

Whenever their parents remind them, they would say: “I accept the suffering, it’s none of your business. I am responsible for my death, it’s none of your business.”

When we receive such answers, we clearly see that the Almighty God is allowing humans a lot of freedom.

God can strangle them to death, but He doesn’t. He lets them do it themselves, do you see it?

God remains silent. Yes, go ahead and make love! Take her to outings, visiting rivers and lakes, embracing her. But at the moment you want to drop her, there is no time left, such as running away from an abandoned ship. You will only know at that time.

Therefore, the love field is a temporary flower field, do you see it?

The flowers are temporary, one day, they will become wilted. At that time, we need to run away, and can’t do anything else. Do you see it?

They have lost their freshness. Similarly, young men are like a fresh flower, but in the future, they will wither, and dry up. Do you see it?

Now we have become older, and we clearly see that only the soul remains fresh.

Now I am old, but why do I feel happiness when perfecting myself spiritually?

I see that I am fresh and beautiful, because I am aware that in the past, I was a fairy, descending on earth to learn. In this hellish environment, life has tormented me and given me many burdens to bear.

My face is becoming older each day, I know, because I must carry responsibilities.

My face shows wrinkles because of the responsibilities, but what do these burdens nurture?

They nourish my courage and determination to attain serenity. Through acceptance, I create my determination and courage to reach serenity. I will then understand: Oh! Thanks to my responsibilities, I discover that I was a fairy descending on earth. I have a lucid consciousness, and I understand that I have a soul.

I see that this is not suffering. Life is a school with unending tests, in order to guide us toward self-perfection and self-progress. We will return to the realm of light and joy, the sphere of the Immortals, and our soul will feel light and content.

How can the kind mothers who want to perfect themselves spiritually achieve contentment in their consciousness?

If they detach themselves from all earthly matters, they will naturally achieve contentment.

Since the children can walk by themselves, they are now grown-ups like birds with full feathers and wings, we should let them live their own life! In the past, their mother had to deal with the same issues and was able to live until this day, so they will also deal with the same issues and live till tomorrow!

They will have the opportunity to meet their mother again. Their mother could become a true spiritual master, or she could become one goddess governing a certain area who could provide spiritual guidance to them, do you see it? 

Therefore, we should not worry about our children. We should dedicate ourselves to spiritual perfection, this is more important. Our children have their lessons, we have our own lessons.

A spiritual adept will encounter numerous challenges.

The more we perfect ourselves spiritually, the more challenges we will encounter.

Without challenges, how can we have the opportunity to return to the shore of enlightenment?

Without challenges, how can we know the value of our own determination?

With our determined heart, we will see that the winds and storms generated by The Lord are only lessons that do not really affect us.

We already understand the law of birth, maturity, decay, destruction. Do you see it?

After birth comes maturity. One day it decays then it becomes destroyed.

The cycle repeats itself continually, birth, maturity, decay, destruction, then rebirth, so there is a new life, do you see it?

This is the principle of life, which exists forever, there is no loss.

Earthly people are afraid of losses. For example, a girl looks into the mirror, and thinks her face looks ugly

Then she will automatically rub her face with anything that claims to be good,

Even if this is an unknown product, not yet analyzed, she would take it right away.

Even if she may harm the skin of her face, she still does it because she is afraid of being ugly. This is Fear!

From fear, one becomes greedy. When one is greedy, one cannot rectify oneself and improve oneself, do you see it?

Similarly, when they love someone, they are afraid of losing that person.

They are afraid of losing their lover, so they turn into a greedy person!

For a spiritual adept, if they return to greediness, they will be even more greedy than ordinary people. Do you see it?

They will be greedy millions of times more than an ordinary person.

At that time, God exercises His law where a spiritual adept will turn into a vicious devil.

They would insult Heaven and Earth, they would throw insults carelessly because of their failures.

They will sink deeper into failures and completely disregard heaven and earth. They will become drunken, fall into gambling, and debauchery, and abuse their wives and children.

Aren’t they a devil on earth?

We have seen it happening before our own eyes.

At my age and your age, we have seen it numerous times.

We have seen these lessons numerous times, and fortunately, we have not fallen into these situations.

Today, we are living within openness and understanding.

We see that these people are entering the path of sufferings.

We can only pray that they may repent and awaken themselves one day, for their own good.

We do not have the capacity to protect them.
