| Introduction | |||
| I have once spoken of the power of Tantric mantras and also mentioned that the chanting of mantras had to be done until the seed syllables blossomed. | |||
| Orthodoxy | |||
| ● | Visualizing the seed syllable of the mantra on the Heart chakra when chanting the mantra continuously and densely, one will see the blossoming of the seed syllable on one’s Heart chakra by the method of inner-inspecting with the passing of time as one gets more and more skillful in doing so. The flower blossomed is so wonderful that it is beyond description with words. | ||
| ● | A disciple asked, “Why can a seed syllable blossom?” | ||
| I said, “It’s not strange for a seed syllable to blossom at all. There’re sarira flowers in sariras 舍利子 (the relics or ashes left after the cremation of the Buddha or other Buddhist spiritual masters which are taken as evidence of their Enlightenments) too! Sarira is a kind of material crystal formation and sarira flower is certainly material crystal formation.” | |||
| The disciple continued to ask, “How about the blossom of a seed syllable, is it also a kind of crystal formation?” I said, “Yes, it is! However, it’s not a material crystal formation; it’s a ‘non-material’ crystal formation instead.” | |||
| ● | There are seed syllables containing on the chakras of any Vajrayana practitioners. When they attain Enlightenment in their cultivation, the seed syllables will blossom. Blossoms are not only found on the Heart chakra, the Ajna chakra (Third eye chakra) and the Crown chakra etc., but also in the blood! Thoughts are a kind of energy by which achievers of Esoteric Buddhism (Vajrayana) can make use of so as to put the Tantric mantras chanted into water through the power of visualization. That is, projecting the incredible spiritual energy of Tantric mantras into water. For example, the well-known the Great Compassion Dharani Water (大悲咒水) is formed in such a way. Blossoms are found inside it as well! | ||
| Conclusion | |||
| According to Buddhist sutras, Tantric mantras possess an inconceivable power. It is so-called inconceivable because it is beyond imagination even if one tries to imagine. In other words, it can neither be comprehensible or contemplative for minds of ordinary persons, nor can its profoundly subtle, amazing as well as miraculous realm be expressed by words. Our speech is a voice which is a type of vibration (frequency) while Tantric mantra is also a type of vibration (frequency). Voice is a kind of energy while Tantric mantra belongs to the category of high energy. When we speak, our voice can either be loud or soft. There is certainly a differentiation between high frequency and low frequency in Tantric mantras. Our conversation may become a command to boss someone to run an errand (for instance, hypnotism in modern times); Tantric mantras can even become decrees to urge Dharmapalas (Guardian of Vajrayana Buddhism) and deities in the Non-Physical Realm to undertake some Dharma events. | |||
| Postscript | |||
| ● | In accordance with my explanation on the power of Tantric mantras, a male disciple started to carry out a scientific inquiry on it. About four years after my discourse, he finally managed to find scientific research evidences which prove that there are really blossoms in water. It is, however, not the kind of crystallization like the formation of ‘snowflakes’ when water is frozen into ice. What he did find were evidences from IMH Research Institute in Japan. Using the high-speed photographing technique, Dr. Masaru Emoto and his crew began to observe the crystallization in water in 1994. In a book called 《Messages from Water 來自水的訊息》, the latest experimental results by researchers from the Japanese research institute are published. It is verified that the presence of fine messages such as ‘kindness, gratitude and sacredness’ in water enables water to crystallize in beautifully-shaped whereas the presence of undesirable messages like ‘resentment, pain and restlessness’ results in the crystallization of water in dispersed and ugly patterns. | ||
| ● | 70% of the Earth’s surface area is covered by water and the water inside a human body also accounts for 60% - 70% of the body weight; if the water, blood and internal secretion inside a human body receives the evil messages (greed, anger and delusion etc.) we have sent to them, what changes will take place? The answer is definitely the causation of various diseases. How about if the one receives are the kind/good thoughts of Tantric mantras from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? The answer is surely healthy as well as auspicious. In addition, the poor and bad memories inside the brain will be restructured into lotus instead and this is also the inconceivable reason why Buddhist sutras mention that chanting mantras can eliminate karmic hindrances! ‘Thoughts’ contain material energy in which both kind/good and evil thoughts have influences on human body. The impact of Tantric mantras is of the greatest. | ||
| ● | How do the shape and form of the Great Compassion Dharani Water look like after all? Let’s leave it for you to have further investigation in your spare time! Perhaps you may shoot even more pretty photos from it! | ||
| ● | Therefore, under the subtle vibration of Tantric mantras, it is not only in the blood of Vajrayana practitioners, but also in their brain secretion (marrow) as well that blossoms of newly-shaped crystal flowers are found! | ||
| ● | If human beings would like to make the world a better place, it is probably not by pursuing more money or materials but is in desperate need of the emission of ‘nice and kind’ messages from everyone, a country, every nation and all mankind! It is said in Buddhist sutras that when a practitioner is chanting mantras, any sentient beings that walk beside him/her can have their karmic hindrances eradicated. In Tibet, Vajrayana mantras are always found engrave on large stones in high mountains so that the fine messages which can be nice and kind as well as sacred etc. inside the Vajrayana mantras can be given off there and consigned in the air which will flow elsewhere (well, there is moisture in the air!). These fine messages are then detected by types of sentient beings on the ground, at sea or in the sea such as humans, asuras (titanic demons), animals, ghosts etc. Having their karmic hindrances eliminated and their evil hearts removed, these sentient beings will have kind/good thoughts in their minds instead and do not be evil. All of them will not damage the world anymore after that. This is the reason behind. | ||
| The following are excerpts from 《Experimental Description 實驗說明》by Dr. Masaru Emoto in IMH Research Institute in Japan which were found by the male disciple: | |||
| ● | Running the American ‘Low Frequency Therapy Apparatus Licensing Company’, Dr. Masaru Emoto started to get in contact with the latest ‘water’ research technology which initiated his research plan on investigating the crystallization of water photography after the ‘water’ is frozen. Dr. Masaru Emoto has launched a series of scientific exploration adventures on ‘water crystals’ since 1994. | ||
| ● | Applying the MRA (Magnetic Resonance Analyzer) on the investigation of water crystals, Dr. Masaru Emoto obtained a lot of amazing results which also made a splash in Japan. He denoted that the researched results have revealed: all characteristics of materials will affect the properties of water whereas the water pulse (frequency) can explain all the characteristics of materials. | ||
| ● | IMH Research Institute employed high speed photographic technique to observe the shape of water crystals. The experimental procedures were: drip the water (for the experiment) separately into a hundred petri dishes and keep them in the refrigerating chamber to be frozen for two hours. Next, put the crystallized ice under the microscope with a magnification of 200 to 500 times and photo (the microscopic views of) its top part. | ||
| ● | During the experiment, nothing that brought physical changes was done in the process of handling. Seeing such beautiful images shot, all members of the camera crew were so moved that their eyes brimmed with tears. ‘Water’ is capable of distinguishing whether a message is right or wrong, good or evil. In addition, ‘water’ can also receive messages from text/written word, voice, music and thoughts no matter they are kind or wicked. | ||

| (I) Water can ‘read’ messages? | |
| 1. After reading a text with, ‘It’s so disgusting as well as hateful and I’ll kill you’, the shape of water crystal is very ugly! |  |
| This is a photo taken after the water was allowed to ‘read’ sentences like, ‘It’s so disgusting as well as hateful and I’ll kill you’ etc. The report indicates: this is something that young Japanese always like to say recently. From the experimental result, it is discovered that the ugly and twisted, broken and scattered way the water crystal look is just like the meaning of ‘It’s so disgusting as well as hateful and I’ll kill you’. If our children are talking in such a manner, we should teach them at once to stop saying this kind of words that delivers ‘twisted and broken’ messages. (Note: this is the so-called no evil mouth (speech) 勿惡口 in Buddhism.) | |
 |
2. After reading a text written ‘Love and gratitude’, the water crystal shows up its prettiest state! |
| This water crystal photo was taken after the water was allowed to ‘read’ a text written ‘Love and gratitude’. Experimenters said: among the very many water-crystal photos taken then, it was the prettiest water crystal that had never been seen before. It seems that no other messages can be more beautiful than ‘Love and gratitude’. If we always express our ‘Love and gratitude’, is it that the water on our Earth as well as the one in our bodies can become as gorgeous as this? (Note: love manifests The Four Immeasurable Hearts and gratitude is also a kind of feedback, repay and transference.) |
| (II) Water can ‘hear’ messages? | ||
 |
1. Oh, the water which has listened to〈Pastoral〉Symphony (「田園」交響曲) is very happy! |  |
| This water-crystal photo was taken after the water was allowed to listen to Beethoven’s ‘Pastoral’ Symphony. In the report of the experiment, it is written: ‘Pastoral’ Symphony, which is | ||
| one of the masterpieces of Beethoven, has a lucid and lively, refreshed and pleased tune. This photo of a beautiful crystal has demonstrated that benign music manages to bring the feeling of liveliness as well as happiness to water. | ||
| 2. Water that has heard the ‘Tristesse (Sadness) 離別曲’ feels doleful and broken-hearted? |  |
| This water-crystal photo was taken after the water ‘had listened to’ Chopin’s ‘Tristesse’. Report on the picture said: there has never been anything as frightening as this water-crystal photo. Though the same magnification of the microscope was set when shooting this photo and the other ones, the tune of the ‘Tristesse’ had completely broken up the basic configuration of the water crystal into even smaller parts that becomes a purely parting look/pattern. |
| 3. Water that has heard Heavy Metal Music seems to have disintegrated? Having photographed lots of pictures of water that was allowed to ‘listen to’ (different) music, Dr. Masaru Emoto found that water which had heard contemporary Heavy Metal with indecent lyrics appeared to have disintegrated images. The original shapes of the water crystals look as if they are being scattered. The experiment reveals: both music and lyrics may bring either kind and fine or ugly and bad messages. |
 |
| (III) Text of ‘Love and gratitude’ in different languages contain the same energy which is nice as well as touching? | ||||||
| Allowing water to ‘read’ ‘Love and gratitude’ in Japanese, English and German, it is surprising to find that all of them have exquisite and beautiful water crystals emerged! | ||||||
| The raw water used in the experiment is refined water of the same criteria. The result is that crystals of similar structures are formed even though the languages spoken are different! | ||||||
| Inferences from experimenters: ‘Language is produced by the vibrations of the nature (air particles)’, the same principle of the nature is applied even if the languages are differed in different countries. As a result, crystals of the same shape appear (in the water) because the text read is of the same meaning. Using text of ‘wisdom’ and ‘the Universe’ to carry out the same experiment, experimenters found that similar beautiful crystals are simultaneously formed in (the water that has read) all the three different languages! | ||||||

| (IV) Nice and kind thoughts can also make water crystallize beautifully and charmingly? | ||||
| The following two water-crystal photos were taken before and after the acceptance of 500 fine messages. No visible crystals can be seen in the water at the beginning but beautiful as well as charming crystals appeared after the receiving of the fine messages! | ||||
| The experimenters had asked 500 instructors of vibration (they are graduates of Kymatology hosted by Dr. Masaru Emoto) to issue a thought together at the same time to a glass of water from Shinagawa in Tokyo which was placed on the office table of the experimenter at 2pm on 2nd February, 1997. Each of them made the same wish, ‘The water has become clean, thank you’ and this ‘message of love’ was given off at the same instant from different parts of Japan. In this way, this photo of the water crystal that was formed after the acceptance of the ‘message of love’ from all over Japan was taken. | ||||
| It is seemingly that nice and kind thoughts from human possess the great energy which is unaffected by distance! | ||||
| (Note: our Vajrayana Kundali Vidyaraja (one of the five Wisdom Kings in Buddhism who are viewed as the guardians of Buddhism and wrathful manifestations of Buddhas) mantra water (軍茶利明王水) is obtained merely by chanting Tantric mantra and this holy water is purer as well as more extraordinary so that it can be used for purifying the altar (of the Shrine) and carrying out Kekkai 結界 (refers to a protective spiritual or magical force field of sorts).) | ||||
