Laughter is such a joy to behold, so let’s check out the following joke. It’s called “An Important Sermon.”
A pastor said to the parishioners:
“Next week, I will be giving an important sermon on the sin of lying. To help you understand better, I want all of you to read chapter 17 of Mark in the Holy Bible in preparation for the sermon.”
The following Sunday, before beginning his sermon, the pastor asked:
“All of those that read chapter 17 of Mark, please raise your hands.”
All the parishioners raised their hands. Then, the pastor laughed and said:
“Good! Now I will conduct a lecture on the sin of lying. To begin with, the Book of Mark has only 16 chapters…”
And now we have a heartline from You-Xiang in China:
Respected and Beloved Master and the Supreme Master TV team, Today, I’d like to share the experience of my inner progress.
On September 10, 2022, the day of the Moon Festival, which was also Teacher’s Day, during meditation, I saw my outer shell breaking up and many golden lotuses appearing from my heart. I saw my heart opening up, filled with Light and Love.
My gratitude and compassion were finally developed after experiencing all kinds of worldly affairs. My heart melted and returned to the Ocean of Love, full of Love. I saw blue Light, warm and bright, and my heart became warm and strong. I saw seven-colored circles of Light and thousands of hands and eyes emerging from my heart. With fireworks going off in my heart, everything in my eyes was so wonderful.
I saw countless beings being liberated to Buddha’s Land, and I kept being told by a voice, “All the wonderful things are coming. All the wonderful things are coming. All the wonderful things are coming.”
Thanks again, Respected and Beloved Master and the Supreme Master TV team. You-Xiang from China
Light-filled You-Xiang, It is very inspiring to hear of such a marvelous inner vision. Our hearts join with yours in awaiting the wonderful arrival of a peaceful, loving, and vegan Earth. May you and the caring Chinese people soon know the joys of living in a world that protects all beings, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. A reply has been sent to you by Master: “Loving You-Xiang, I am happy to hear of your experience, which is an advancement in your spiritual progress. Seeing beings liberated and going to the Buddha’s Land is an indescribable joy! It is my sincere wish that you and shining China experience the great wonders of an era of enduring Peace and Love for all.”
