The Surangama Sutra: The Demonic States of the Form and Feeling Skandhas, Part 9 of 9, Dec. 26, 2018

Because our thoughts from life are endless. And so, we create endless forms and sceneries and stuff like that. Therefore, some of you, sometimes you sit in samadhi, you ask me, "Master, I saw some mountains and river and beautiful scenery." Not heaven-like, but normal. It's because your thought or your creative mind has been creating them. And the Master Power already cut a lot. Otherwise, I think you will go through 10 states and 12 states, I don't know when will you ever get out. Mesmerized by your own creation inside, thinking, "Wow! I am something already. I get to be Buddha tomorrow. Or maybe I'm already the Buddha, but Master doesn't want to tell me."
