MAHAYANA SUTRA
The ninth lecture - "What is Attainment? The Proof for its
Rightiousness" THE STRONG POWER OF THE ENLIGHTENED ONE

Other attainers in AUM also has strong power. So I believe that
you will see the powers of the attainers.
There are various examples. Let's take Maitreya-Taishi. While he
was in practicing in the isolated room, he was thinking about going
to America. And he wished to have data on America so as to do so.
Then, a person named Asai-san who lives in Los Angeles attended the
seminar from the first day. He came to Japan especially for this
seminar, and said, "I shall take care of the data." He already
broght certain data even though the plan have not even started yet.
This is one of his supernatural power to fulfill his wish.
According to his wish, circumstances automatically does the
preparation.
Uppalavanna-Taishi also has various experiences. So does Brafmani-
Taishi. Perhaps the reason why they don't tell those experiences
to people is because they consider those experiences as a child's
play. They can prove their abilities whenever they want to.
WATCHING THE THREE GUNAS BY THE BODY OF ESSENCE - THE ATTAINMENT
OF RAJA YOGA
Let's talk about the attainment. What is the attainment of Khema-
Taishi? What is the attainment of Shanti-Taishi? Or what is the
attainment of Uppalavanna-Taishi? I shall tell you about the
attainment in such manner.
Perhaps this may be little boring for those who are attending this
seminar from the first day. The attainment of Raja Yoga is the
basement. This is the first attainment.
The attainer of Raja Yoga sees three Gunas at the time of
attainment. Three gunas are the foundamental energies for the
creation of the universe which consist of Rajas (the active
energy), Tamas (the dark energy), and Sattva (the virtuous energy).
The attainer sees them not with his physical eyes but with the
eyes of the body of essence. The body of essence is the body which
activates in the pure Causal world. After the attainment of Raja
Yoga, the process of Kudalini Yoga is waiting. There is a long way
to go to attain the ultimate enlightenment.
KNOWING THREE WORLDS - THE ATTAINMENT OF KUNDALINI YOGA
Let me go on to Kundalini Yoga which comes after the attainment of
Raja Yoga.
When we practice Kundalini Yoga, with the rise of the energy of
Kundalini we begin to experience the Astral world and the Causal
world, though the dimention of these worlds is low compared to the
world which we experience in Astral Yoga or Causal Yoga.
There are a lot of experiences for Khema-Taishi, Shanti-Taishi,
Brafmani-Taishi, or Maitreya-Taishi who are considered to be the
attainer of Kundalini Yoga.
Let me take Maitreya-Taishi for example. Do you know "The Book of
Dead"? Do you know "The Tibetan Book of Dead" or "The Egyptian
Book of Dead"? It's all right even if you haven't read them yet,
since there are a lot of misinterpretation in those books. But
there are some parts in those books which is the truth. Maitreya-
Taishi had experienced the true parts of those books.
Let me introduce you a part of his experience. His body of
manifestation deatch from his physical body and go into the
darkness. The body of manifestation is another self which
activates in the Astral world. When the true self gets on to this
body, it begins to activate.
As this body of manifestation rises, one can reach to heaven. On
the contrary, if it goes down one falls down to hell. This can go
to various places. As the body of manifestation detaches from the
physical body, activates, and experiences various things, one
understands that the life in this world is only the part of our
lives. In other words, one recognizes that there are three types
of lives in this world; the Astral world, the Causal world, and
this world. The perfection of Kundalini Yoga means to realize this
fact. Those who had attained to this level can freely go to the
Astral world or the Causal world with the energy of Kundalini.
However, if he loses his energy, he is only a man who wish to
commit suicide. He wants to die because the Kundalini for them is
not only the energy to develop their spirituality but also the life
energy for them to live in this world as well as in the Astral
world.
However, when he loses his energy, he thinks of throwing away the
physical body. In other words, he would like to die, go to the
Astral world, and live there with pleasure. That is why the desire
to commit suicide occurs.
But even if one can live happily in the Astral world, it is not
good to stop one's spiritual practice by committing suicide,
because the perfection of Kundalini Yoga is only the stage on its
way to attain Mahayana.
I often say "You should not leak sexual energy if your KUndalini
was awakened." because it is necessary to prevent the loss of the
energy of Kundalini. The source of Kundalini is the sexual energy.
