“Of course a bad person doesn’t have the roots of a Buddha, and even if they learn the Dharma and comprehend it, they won’t understand deeply. So when they practice the method of cultivation, of course they won’t be able to practice as quickly as a good person?” I retorted, and this time it was Sister Yuli’s turn to be at a loss for words.
“Vajra Meditation is not just a great method for becoming a Buddha, it is also a powerful weapon for subduing demons and evil spirits. It has played a great role in every battle between good and evil. If there are more people learning it, there is a high chance that the evil ones will learn this method as well. There are many geniuses in the evil way, and as long as they have a certain understanding of this method, they will be able to find a way to restrain and defeat it or find a way to counter it. Three hundred years ago, the demon-taught genius Du Yanling accidentally obtained a handwritten copy of the Taoist heart method, Taiji Xuan Gong, and incorporated some of its heart methods into the demon’s supreme skill, Blood River Ming, to create Taiji Demon Power, which is powerful enough to rival Taiji Xuan Gong. This is what is known as a law that must be broken. To avoid this, most supreme skills are passed down with great care to avoid being passed down to the wrong person.” My father answered my doubts seriously.
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
“If you understand, then go practice!” This time it was my mother who urged me.
Reluctantly, I followed Yuli into the training room.
I entered the “unremarkable” room, which, as the name suggests, was unremarkable. It was surrounded by specially-enchanted sturdy granite walls. Apart from me, the six nightlights above my head, and the two meditation cushions on the floor, there was nothing else. I had no choice but to sit on the floor, pick up the so-called “Vajra Meditation” and start reciting from the book. Soon after I finished reciting it, the Elder Da Zhi came in and explained the scriptures to me, then instructed me on how to store my thoughts (that is, what kind of state the mind should remain in, such as joy, anger, calm, etc.), how to circulate the vital energy, and the matters needing attention. In short, the two words are peace.
