254. Do not pray for children under five years old with abundant blessings.
For children under five, you can pray for anything else, but absolutely avoid praying for anything related to spiritual energy (like being full of energy or having boundless spirit). If you want to test how effective your prayer is, try it on your child—you'll experience the results immediately. My wife added "full of energy" to our prayer list when she was compiling it. My wife and I were in good spirits the day we prayed, but then my son couldn't sleep at 3 or 4 in the morning, singing, dancing, and jumping around in bed for several days in a row. My wife and I basically wasted our energy—we were supposed to use it for work and helping others, but he was full of energy and needed stories and playtime. We were completely exhausted in less than 3 or 4 days—children don't usually expend much energy, so be careful!
255. How to deal with the current stock market situation?
The stock market has recently surged, and everyone thinks it's a short-term phenomenon. Experts say the Chinese stock market has a roughly one-to-one-and-a-half-year cycle – during economic downturns, the government actively spends money to boost the stock market to encourage confidence or prevent people from becoming too pessimistic. It doesn't rise when GDP is good, and it doesn't fall when GDP is bad – the government feels it's necessary to let the stock market move to alleviate the pain. The stock market itself has no fixed foundation – those without investment advice shouldn't touch it; chasing highs and selling lows doesn't guarantee profits. A stock only truly rises for a few days a year, spending the rest of the time stagnant, requiring absolute patience. Those previously trapped may be able to break even or reduce losses in this rally. When it will rise is unknown – if you're trapped, just wait; sell when it's almost gone. Don't enter if you haven't already – those without luck shouldn't try to make money in the stock market. I must earn money through hard work; I'm not destined to profit from others' efforts or index fluctuations. A one-to-one-and-a-half-year cycle is difficult to predict; there's a lot of volatility. Just focus on breaking even; don't aim for huge profits or get stuck in another wave of losses.
256. Too weak a soul energy will cause drowsiness.
Some netizens said that recently, during the storytelling sessions, they would fall asleep as soon as Lao Zheng started, entering a deep sleep, and wake up as soon as he said goodbye, feeling feverish and sweating. During the live storytelling sessions, the deities above would seem to bless the audience, and the energy blessing felt much stronger in the live sessions, while the recordings felt slightly weaker. I've never had my own account; I always use my student's account for live streams—currently, over 100 people are listening online, and other students are sharing the stream with several thousand more. Even with energy divided into thousands of parts, you'd still feel sleepy if it hit you directly, which just shows that your soul energy is relatively weak. When your soul energy is weak, receiving too much energy can cause extreme fatigue and sleepiness—many people feel extremely sleepy after performing blessings, cleansing, or purification rituals. Putting down your work and going to sleep is a good way to replenish energy. As your soul energy gradually strengthens, your tolerance will improve.
257. Why is the flame weak during minor purification?
A small purification is like a candle you light at home for fun; some people find the flame too weak. For sleep problems—for mild cases, lighting it for two or three days is sufficient to clear the energy channels; after a week, there should be no problem; if it's still not working after a week, pay attention, something is definitely blocking the flow. You need to use prayer or purification to clear it; don't rely on small items, they can only be used for maintenance. If a bearing is caked with heavy machine oil, find professional tools to clean it, and then perform maintenance gradually.
258. Why do various situations occur after prayer, purification, and cleansing?
For those with autism, psychological problems, or difficulty accepting their parents—after performing blessings, cleansing, and purification, feelings of irritability, anxiety, wanting to cry, sadness, drowsiness, and urge to smash things may occur. Why? It's because the negative aspects of your mind have been brought to the surface. Lust, slander against Buddha, anger, and the urge to tear up scriptures may occur during scripture reading—these are all normal phenomena. The positive energy created through the cleansing of Buddhist and Taoist practices causes these things within you to resist—these are mental entities, emotional entities, and memories. When dealing with autistic children, they may curse their parents and cry loudly on the same day—this is because they have suffered from past lives' traumas. After the cleansing, don't resist; let them vent their emotions, and they will be fine. More severe cases may require several cleansing sessions.
259. How to pray for blessings for those with depression
Some students experience significant internal conflict—thinking about everything, useful and useless. Depression is called rumination, an uncontrollable, incessant thinking. Praying helps—"Think about useful things, stop thinking about useless things." After praying, they find that thinking about many useless things stops immediately, allowing them to calm down.
260. Purification Feedback for People Severely Injured and Corrupted in Reincarnation
A person suffered severe injuries and corruption from countless reincarnations. Sharing the changes over a month: For the first week, there was no feeling; the person watched videos ten times. For the next two weeks, the person did nothing, unable to control their thoughts and actions, living in the magnetic field of the past, seeing their 5- or 6-year-old self, and seeing the cause of their injuries—using present understanding to heal past wounds. Two weeks later, the person suddenly could no longer empathize with past pain—the injuries from countless reincarnations, childhood injuries—like drinking diluted Meng Po soup (a form of remembrance), still able to remember past events but unable to recall them, emotions faded, bad memories disappeared, and the deep-seated pain and hatred were completely gone. A week later, the person ruminated on their thoughts, but even forcibly trying to remember couldn't, the past injuries were completely forgotten. Buddhist and Taoist teachings are difficult to directly attack and clear past memories, thoughts, emotions, and resentments—but these things influence everyone's actions, behavior, temperament, and character. This is a very good tool; simple things can be cleared in one go, difficult things require multiple clearings. The injuries have followed you for many lifetimes; you may have forgotten, but the memory remains deep within your bones.
261. What is the Intelligence of Everything?
When you reach a certain level of spiritual cultivation, the person who can truly help you solve problems and enlighten you on certain aspects of life may not be a particularly powerful master—it could be an ordinary person around you, a letter, or a single sentence. Your wisdom and growth should not come solely from your teacher. You should learn to glean wisdom and improve yourself from all things in the world.
262. Green Light—Feeling the Heartfelt Words of Plants
When you see plants, trees, and leaves, you can understand their feelings, connect with them, and understand what they want to express and what their vitality is—the light of green. Feel the flowers, grasses, and trees in the garden—the banana tree grows horizontally, and you feel the powerful force bursting forth everywhere; the small tree next to it feels a sense of loneliness. Gradually, you come to understand that feeling plants is like this.
263. How to understand the language of flowers in plants
Two orchids—one propagated naturally, the other technologically—showcasing the more vibrant, upright, and natural quality of natural propagation. The fragrance is subtle—you catch a whiff unintentionally, but can't detect it even when you get close and strain. Gardenias produce nectar when they bloom, making the scent too cloying; peonies are exceptionally fragrant, but their fragrance carries a sharp edge; clivias usually stand proudly, but when they bloom, their leaves droop completely to support the blossoming flowers. This is understanding the language of flowers—a truly remarkable sensitivity to plants.
264. What is the perception of plants moving upwards?
First, one can sense the aura—the language of flowers, the heart of flowers, the heart of trees, the heart of grass, and resonate with their thoughts. Second, one can understand their spirit—plants all have spirits, like tiny bubbles, with spirits within. Herbs from Changbai Mountain in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia are clean—the soil and water nurture the people. Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiangxi have many witchcraft practices, black magic, and poisonous insects—the spirits in herbs are problematic, carrying resentment or harmful energy. Thailand also has black magic. Top-level immortals from Changbai Mountain and top-level shamans from Inner Mongolia rarely have poor character—they can connect with the spirits of plants. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs—communicating with plants and connecting with their spirits. Third, the highest level of perception—a leaf or flower reflects past and present lives, seeing what the energy reflected in the celestial realm is, even its original state, reincarnating layer by layer into the human world.
265. All things have a spirit.
A friend bought a new car—a wise man glanced at it and said the car had a "crying face," specifically the front right corner, indicating a problem with the front right wheel. The exterior didn't show it, but two months later the axle broke—a product defect. Feel the emotions of all things—water; you can tell its quality at a glance. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady manipulates feng shui energy fields—the feeling of an energy field. Looking at the sky—dark clouds gather, but it feels like it won't rain soon; this connects with celestial phenomena. This is because all things have a spirit.
266. How to repair the golden light
Golden light is Buddha light, and it requires the least cultivation. I personally don't like reading scriptures, nor do I in the Buddhist community. I'm not vegetarian, but that doesn't affect the richness of the golden light—of all lights, golden light is the richest. Benefiting all beings with a compassionate heart generates golden light. Whether one cultivates Buddhism or not is unimportant—it's a reward from Heaven. Golden light is generated much faster than chanting scriptures—I've never seen a Buddha or Bodhisattva achieve sainthood through chanting scriptures. Practicing Bodhi is the fastest way to generate golden light—cultivating all good deeds with "no self, no person, no sentient being, no life span," and cultivating compassion is sufficient.
267. How to fix white light
White light represents the Tao and its natural way—understanding the Tao and its rules, recognizing the rules, and applying them to solve problems. Several important applications in the human world: First, reversal is the movement of the Tao—when a problem arises, consider the opposite approach; it might solve the problem. Second, learn self-reflection—if the same problem occurs three times in a row, the method must be wrong. Third, cultivating white light requires learning to decompose and break down—to gain someone's agreement, don't directly tell them they're wrong; synchronize their understanding. Let them experience miraculous things; with more experiences, they'll understand. Don't try to persuade or suppress—that's the dumbest method. Study how someone can convince themselves, continuously create environments that allow them to share the same understanding, and they will agree with you. Follow the rules, stand at the forefront.
268. What is the Light of Love and Devotion?
Orange Light is called the Light of Love and Respect—it has helped enough people. The Light of Love and Respect truly emerged in 2023—it truly brought success to a group of people. They genuinely recognized me from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to accept me for several years, and I truly helped them achieve their goals. If you are a teacher and do not have the Light of Love and Respect within you—think about whether what you say and do is entirely correct.
269. Precautions for repairing yellow light
A listener said that a year ago, listening to things made them argumentative, but now it's more harmonious—there's no need to argue, no need to intimidate, no need to make people understand immediately; after understanding the facts, they communicate in an easy way, letting others understand on their own—Huang Guang: A gentle and natural warmth born from a growth of character, free from arrogance and contention. His words are like a spring breeze, and many people are willing to listen—he doesn't educate or negate others. Negating and educating others is very foolish—some people can accept it, some will inevitably resist, and it's not worth it.
270. Several Stages of Mental Light
First type: Ignorance—Pure children and simple people generate a state of mind that is extremely fragile, lacking experience of the world. Second type: The state of mind generated by detachment is called indifference—"Nothing concerns me," it's called severing ties. Third type: Experience—A young man just entering the battlefield will be weak in the knees after killing one person, while an old general can laugh and joke even with millions of corpses floating in front of him. Experiencing leads to progress—understanding tolerance and allowing things to happen. Fourth and highest level: Achievement and growth—Nuwa sees all living beings; the little ones dropping atomic bombs on each other is simply humanity's mutual growth, allowing it to happen.
271. How to transcend humanity to understand humanity
Countless worlds will give rise to many human realms—all human realms, upon reaching a certain stage of development, will destroy themselves. Why? Human nature: greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt. A suspicious person cannot succeed in even the best collaborative projects; a person with excessive greed will stumble no matter how well they perform; a person with poor interpersonal relationships cannot sustain greater wealth. One can foresee a person's future from their childhood. When humanity possesses overwhelming advantages, if greed and anger remain, they will inevitably bring ruin upon themselves. The Ksitigarbha Sutra states, "Good and evil arise according to circumstances. Even if a good intention arises, it will soon be withdrawn"—from the perspective of the gods above, these little ones are merely copying and pasting, causing chaos and confusion.
272. How to understand reincarnation
First, reincarnation into different realms allows for gradual cultivation and advancement. Second, descending from higher planes involves performing tasks or receiving punishment. Third, the vast majority of sentient beings' reincarnation is due to karmic retribution—a strange way of life is designed to punish you. Wasting food and being reborn as a pig for two or three lifetimes; a praying mantis eating its mate after mating—because it abandoned its mate and offspring. Fourth, self-perfection requires rebirth in various realms.
273. The Correct Understanding of Xiu Qingguang
Blue Light – a quiet, mutual embrace, peaceful coexistence, non-contention, safety, and gentleness. The most important aspect of cultivating Blue Light is the feeling of being with children, loved ones, and family. This then spreads to everyone in your life – slowly infecting from the outside in. My students brought their families to Thailand – trust. I won't make any promises; your choice to believe and come is your own. Blue Light can expand – mutual trust, a strong sense of security, a gradual softening, and a feeling of becoming family. Cultivating Blue Light is a process of continuously building feelings of family with many people.
274. How to understand the various lights produced by spiritual practice
All spiritual practice is based on compassionately guiding and benefiting all sentient beings. Begin by doing this without thinking about anything else—red light, golden light, blue light (merit light). Continue to diligently guide sentient beings, gradually understanding the Tao and seeing many paths—begin cultivating white light. Seeing enough—within the cycle of rebirth, there are no unexpected events, and the light of the mind naturally arises. Moving further, with some achievement—orange light and yellow light appear. Moving further, one can perceive everyone's emotions, the changes in all things in the universe, and the future of many people—blue light arises. Further, one can perceive all things—purple light and green light. The more one perceives, the more one understands sentient beings and all things—the more one merges with them. Do not deliberately cultivate anything; slowly cultivate and grow with a compassionate heart—perceive all things with compassion, understand all things, listen to all things, and guide all things.
275. How to understand compassion
The most important aspect of spiritual practice is cultivating compassion—infinite tolerance, infinite giving, and infinite achievement. Treat all things as your own children, become the mother of all beings. Let them cause trouble and mischief as they please; no matter how much they hurt you, you will not retaliate. Ultimately, it's about helping them succeed—what's the point of being strong if your children aren't capable? The hope is for them to be better than you. The refuge of spiritual practice is the integration of all things. I am all things, and all things are me—no one, no sentient being.
276. What should be paid attention to when a newborn baby is born?
Check for any problems as soon as the child is born—over 90% are fine, with only a very small chance of some issues. It's difficult to detect problems in very young children—they may not be able to see, speak, or hear, or have intellectual disabilities, but these can often be corrected within a year. After birth, pay off any karmic debts, then check for developmental problems and recurring illnesses. Once the child's birth chart (Ba Zi) is determined, you'll know what's going on—what to pay attention to in the future.
277. Which aspects of infancy can be addressed through prayer?
1. A child who cries easily, is difficult to raise, and is often sickly – pray for peace and easy care. 2. A child who is always unhappy – pray for happiness. 3. A child who has difficulty sleeping and is always fussy – pray for blessings or perform a small purification ritual. 4. A child who cries excessively – pray for blessings. 5. A child who is extremely picky about food – pray for blessings.
278. Strange Phenomena That Are Common in Children Under 3 Years Old
Children aged 2 to 3 gradually begin to awaken to past life consciousness, and their temperament and personality begin to emerge, exhibiting strange phenomena: hatred towards parents—their parents killed them in a past life, which has nothing to do with their parents in this life, but they remember it. They cry severely when held by their parents, but are fine when not held—check immediately. If a problem is found, perform purification and prayer to erase past life memories. Otherwise, they will be like a lukewarm stone. They don't speak when they should—this is a real language disorder; the younger the child, the easier it is for a master to handle; their celestial soul has sealed their human soul—to prevent the child from saying things they shouldn't; spiritual disorders; developmental disorders; the child didn't like to talk in their past life and doesn't like to talk in this life either.
279. What issues require investigation and handling during infancy and early childhood?
1. Poor coordination, unsteady gait and difficulty holding things – indicates a problem with brain development. 2. Two souls vying for control of the body – two souls competing for control of the child, resulting in completely different personalities at different times. 3. Poor nutrient absorption. 4. Allergies – family members may perceive the child as frequently ill, but they are actually allergic to certain substances, such as eggs. 5. Frequent screaming – indicates a previous problem with the child's spirit. 6. Frequent blinking – indicates a problem with the optic nerve or that something is controlling it.
280. What is the manifestation of cause and effect?
Couples with ill-fated relationships often start off disliking each other—but their marriage must have stemmed from a good past relationship. Within two years of marriage, the karmic consequences manifest—they begin to fight, and reconciliation is extremely difficult. The same applies to work—malicious people don't harm you immediately; after a while, they start hurting each other due to unforeseen events. In many aspects of life, once the karmic consequences manifest, reconciliation is very difficult. In medicine—illness can manifest on the skin, internally, or even in the bones; the best approach is to address it before illness occurs. Dealing with many things before their karmic consequences manifest is the best method.
281. Why is school selection necessary at the kindergarten level?
Check kindergarten information beforehand—never send your child to a school with problems. "Just okay" means anything below average; absolutely avoid it. Consider the student's affinity with the school—if the affinity is bad, the first two years are fine, but the third year might bring their destined nemesis or creditor (who can also be reincarnated as a human), a transfer student bullying your child, or a terrible teacher. Choose a school based on expert advice, not human thinking—some things can happen at any time.
282. Why are interpersonal relationships so important during kindergarten?
What a child learns in kindergarten isn't important; just make sure the facilities aren't too bad—focus on the "software"—the teachers' quality and what they can teach the children. The child's first encounter with classmates—whether they can get along peacefully—is crucial; interpersonal relationships are very important, and it's best to purify and adjust them beforehand. Some clients' children have had poor relationships with teachers in kindergarten—it's very difficult to change that later. The smart approach is to do this every semester in advance—using "lovable charms" and "easy-to-get-along-with charms." Interpersonal purification should be done every six months. A child who is happy and easy to raise at school, loved by everyone, and whose classmates all want to play with them—is in trouble if they get into fights with classmates or encounter a bad teacher, causing personality problems and making them not want to go to school.
283. Why should we observe a child's humanity during kindergarten?
Kindergarten children gradually develop independent personalities and humanity, and their past lives begin to influence this life—their destiny is not yet fully determined, so learn to observe their humanity. "You can see a person's future at three"—between three and six years old, you can see a child's humanity; what they cannot control is a manifestation of their past life. Is the child steady or impatient? Purify or pray for them directly. Not very polite—a playboy in a past life. Unruly and rude—purify them quickly. These are manifestations of past life habits—suppress them before they develop an independent personality, before starting elementary school. Some children are particularly timid—they suffered trauma in a past life; don't train them, purify and pray for them quickly. Clear past life memories before taking them out to work; their future will be different. If the child is rather reckless and impulsive—pray for purification quickly. Three to six years old is a process of combining past life habits with the present environment—strange states are useless to explain; self-control is low. This is the best time to easily resolve bad habits, bad memories, or past traumas. Once they grow up, they have independent consciousness, everything is formed, and further education is impossible.
284. The Importance of Primary School Selection
Choosing a primary school is extremely important—if a wise person says a school is unsuitable, consider whether there's a problem with your own luck. Consider changing schools or quickly improving your child's luck. A few years ago, school selection was highly competitive, but it's better now—what school a child attends is largely related to their luck and blessings. Improving blessings and luck between the ages of three and six is very beneficial; smart parents use luck-enhancing talismans on their children a year in advance—to get them into better schools.
285. Parents should understand the essence of learning.
Elementary, middle, and high school—first, it's important to understand that the essence of learning is industrial civilization selecting those it deems useful, and using these methods to cultivate those it deems useful. Now, its usefulness is diminishing. Is going to school useful? Yes—modern traditional education cultivates cognition, logical thinking, and independent thought. Is it still worth the effort? It's better to rely on parents—don't rely on your children; it's too difficult to succeed through education. Even a regular 985 university degree doesn't guarantee a family's livelihood—the probability of getting into a 985 university is extremely low; Tsinghua and Peking University have a 1 in 30,000 chance. The methods industrial civilization uses to cultivate people are becoming obsolete themselves. Relying on education to work for others is very difficult; without resources, the success rate of climbing up from the bottom is extremely low.
286. The Mindset of Working for Others
The rules of the world are this: they set a set of rules for you, give you benefits to compete for. The first few batches benefit, and those who follow are just sparring partners. You spend money to buy a house in a good school district, push your child, and the person you raise ends up working for someone else. Earning 1 million in a job is hellishly difficult—earning 1 million in business is relatively easy if you do it slightly right. Ordinary families shouldn't push their children to the most difficult level. The same goes for studying abroad—getting into top universities like Harvard, MIT, Yale, etc., for popular majors is no problem. If you can't, it doesn't necessarily mean anything—degrees are also highly selective abroad. There are many people who sell their houses and spend millions on studying abroad but still can't find jobs, and many graduates from the top 100 also can't find work.
287. What tests a student's qualities in modern civilization?
1. Possesses excellent memory. 2. Possesses excellent comprehension skills. 3. Possesses excellent application skills.
288. People with exceptional memory, comprehension, and application skills will definitely be highly valued.
Graduates with bachelor's and master's degrees from top-tier universities like 985, Tsinghua, Peking University, and foreign universities—possess exceptional intelligence, comprehension, and application abilities. I've been explaining the fundamental principles of life for six years, yet many students don't even understand or apply them as well as I do. A top-scoring student asked me what the closed-loop concept was—most people still don't understand. If I were a business owner, I'd only hire graduates with bachelor's and master's degrees from 985/211 universities—those who have mastered the basic sciences of human civilization through over a decade of study possess truly impressive memory, comprehension, and application abilities. Even during economic downturns, they're still relatively inexpensive—those with popular majors are too expensive to hire, while those with less popular majors are hard to find jobs in, making them easy to hire.
289. How important is soul energy to students' learning?
Regardless of a child's intelligence or talent—if they are prone to sleeping, lack energy, are slow to work, or are lazy, they will never stand out in the knowledge system of industrial civilization. A lack of mental fortitude is a problem. Those who gain admission to top universities like 985/211, Tsinghua, Peking University, MIT, Harvard, etc., possess exceptionally strong mental fortitude. It's rare to find these children with mental problems—easily getting sleepy or tired after studying for a while, lacking focus during lectures, frequently wanting to sleep, or procrastinating. Poor mental fortitude leads to drowsiness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. When a person is working on a problem, their brain doesn't work efficiently. Those who get into Tsinghua and Peking University may be prone to sleeping, but they are highly efficient at actual work. Even with an extremely high workload, students at MIT remain incredibly energetic—a slight lack of mental focus is essential to achieving that level.
290. The effects of blessing, purification, and replenishing soul energy are obvious.
A child who previously struggled to wake up after several alarms—after purification, woke up automatically, cooked by themselves, and went to school on their own. They used to sleep until noon on weekends—after purification, they no longer need to sleep and are full of energy. Luckily, the mother discovered this early—by the time they entered middle or high school and discovered their soul energy and mental strength were insufficient, it would be too late to remedy the situation. The child could only concentrate for half the time in class—the second half they couldn't absorb the information, forgot what they heard, couldn't understand, and felt tired. Mental strength can be replenished through purification, prayer, and minor purification. Address any problems a child may have immediately—only discuss intelligence and memory issues after their soul energy has improved.
291. The Diversity of Soul Energy Issues
The likelihood of children below the third grade having problems with their soul energy is very small. Excessive sleepiness in a child indicates a problem with their soul energy, involving multiple lifetimes. This could be due to a damaged, incomplete, or congenital soul. Some students' souls are fragmented, with only one fragment reincarnated into them—this consumes a lot of energy; while others might only need five days of purification and energy transformation, they only need three. The better the integrity of the soul and the fewer congenital problems—the less likely they are to be reincarnated in the human world, and the stronger they are.
292. Praying for blessings and purification can effectively solve memory problems.
Before solving all other problems, address the issue of soul energy first, followed by memory—through prayer and purification. For first-year junior high students—with a healthy or full soul energy—try memorizing 100 words one to two days after praying on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month. If you can memorize them, your memory is fine—if you can't, your memory is flawed. The vast amount of material in learning relies on memory—you can only understand and apply it if you memorize it. How can you apply it if you can't memorize it? Memory is of paramount importance. In the future, there will be specialized services to repair the integrity of the soul—some people have depleted souls, cracks, are being punished, or have fragments of their souls. You might have fragments of your soul—you have some special thoughts, habits, or phenomena, but you can't express them.
293. Absolute Talent
Absolute talent – possessed without learning. Anything requiring learning is impossible. Celestial Witch Bloodline – those who can only read divination and communicate with heaven and earth through reading books and cultivation are definitely not possessing a complete or pure Celestial Witch Bloodline. Learning it will prevent reaching the highest level – it's called talent. Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Bloodline – naturally sensitive to Feng Shui – able to perceive it without learning. Absolute talent certainly exists, cannot be learned and doesn't require confrontation – but having talent always implies other deficiencies.
294. No Talent
Aside from absolute talent, all other talents are considered non-talented—most are accumulated over countless lifetimes, the iceberg principle. What is revealed has a great deal of accumulation. My storytelling ability—I've been a storyteller for hundreds of lifetimes, and in other realms I've always been a preacher, with a decent tongue—has become a talent, but it wasn't something I possessed from the beginning; it was accumulated. My true talent is my understanding of the Dao—Buddhist and Taoist teachings are understood instantly without study, an absolute talent. My fighting talent exists in other avatars—I'm naturally good at fighting without training. After the separation, all the good things were lost in my body, leaving only enlightenment and storytelling.
295. What is Comprehension?
Comprehension ability is partly innate and partly determined by one's past lives and experiences. Those who excelled in learning in ancient times were scholars, or at least had some formal education. Animals newly transformed into humans, or farmers who were solely devoted to their husbands and children, never having studied in past lives—can they possibly excel in this life? There are exceptions—small animals that cultivated for a thousand years and were reborn as humans have different intelligence. When encountering difficulties in understanding certain things, one must quickly connect with them. Stuttering—some things are understood, some are not; for example, one might struggle with spatial geometry but excel at linear algebra. Some understanding is slow—one must enhance comprehension abilities, increasing them in a targeted manner. Enlightenment talismans and learning talismans can help. If the mind simply lacks this ability—use enlightenment talismans, purification, or blessings. My inability to understand plants and trees leads to communication difficulties—once the pathway is opened, placing flowers in front of me will immediately reveal their abundant joy.
296. The Importance of Improving Children's Application Skills
After understanding, apply – the most important aspects of application are practice, guidance, and mentorship. Some children are naturally gifted and can apply what they learn immediately – this is partly due to innate talent, but most need guidance to put their understanding into practice. This determines a child's learning – if intelligence isn't a major issue, quickly address energy, memory, and comprehension problems, and observe how well they apply the knowledge. If application is poor, find a teacher to guide them through practice problems – a substitute teacher is effective. If there are issues with mental strength or comprehension – hiring a tutor is useless; forcing them to memorize will only lead to increasing discomfort and resistance. Strong children may resist, be influenced by other children, engage in idle chatter or romantic relationships, eventually leading to depression and illness – the child cannot find enjoyment in learning. A comprehensive guarantee of the learning process is crucial – a child is like a vehicle; ensuring performance, state, and preventing them from being led astray by others, guiding them onto the right path – this involves mindfulness in learning.
297. Why should we instill mindfulness in children?
Without learning mindfulness—a bandit reincarnated from a previous life who never studied it, just loafing around waiting to die—where would he learn mindfulness? First, get the learning of mindfulness in order. At the beginning of each semester, do mindfulness purification exercises—let him have the mindfulness of "I want to learn" on his own, don't force him to learn.
298. Several Reasons for Children's Motivation to Learn
1. A natural learner. 2. Family circumstances dictate that learning is essential to changing one's fate. 3. Learning is driven by rewards. 4. Starting to compete with classmates. 5. Learning for someone they like. 6. Avoiding pain. 7. Environmental influence. Try to motivate him and provide positive feedback—no need to lecture, just fulfill a few points. None at all? Cultivating learning motivation requires generating positive learning mindset—no need to explain, it won't work. Purification and blessing are necessary—make him forget the pain of learning, make him feel "there will be problems if I don't study."
299. The Importance of Interpersonal Relationships for Children
Many parents don't realize the importance of interpersonal relationships—they have no problems with their children's studies, but problems arise in their relationships. Encountering bad people, school bullying, or bad teachers—the consequences have already manifested, and trying to fix them later is futile. At the beginning of each year, get your child communication talismans, affinity talismans, tranquility talismans, and learning talismans—they'll protect them for a year. At the start of each semester, address your child's relationships with all their classmates—prevent them from being hurt by others. Don't choose a bad school. Once problems arise, if your child develops a phobia of school or is led astray by bad kids—it's too late to correct them. Pray once each semester—pray that your child won't fall in love, or even have the desire to fall in love. Once they've fallen in love, breaking them up is extremely difficult.
300. Blessing, and Purification: Several Aspects of Quickly and Effectively Resolving Children's Family Relationships
1. Problems with learning coupled with a very poor relationship with parents, a toxic relationship, or domestic violence – eliminate these through prayer and purification. 2. Loneliness and inability to communicate with parents – eliminate these through prayer and purification. 3. Parents forcing children to do many things, causing resentment or even hatred – eliminate these mental and emotional problems through prayer and purification. 4. Being misled (teachers or outsiders instigating conflict with parents) – eliminate these through prayer and purification. 5. Children developing learning phobia (preferring suicide to going to school) – persuasion is ineffective; remove these through prayer and purification, eliminating fear and negative energy related to learning, and cultivating positive mindfulness towards learning. 6. Lack of gratitude, unwillingness to learn, long-term strong conflict with parents, and verbal abuse of parents and teachers – correct these through prayer and purification. 7. Game addiction – a combination of escapism and greed; eliminate this through prayer and purification, making them feel bored with games and have a sense of urgency to study.
Whenever it involves mental or spiritual matters, use prayer and purification—maintain with talismans. Talismans are cheap and last for a year, while prayer and purification last for a period. When the relationship with a master is good, integration is better, and learning efficiency is higher. To change a person's habits—start by changing their mindset. After the power of the Dharma realm changes, help encourage the establishment and consolidation of new positive habits, turning them into new behaviors, new patterns, and instincts—completely changing a person's future. Don't scold or criticize when problems arise; this won't solve anything—habitually using criticism and blame to solve problems is extremely foolish; it's a trap of the heavens and a trap of reincarnation. Reversal is the movement of the Tao—solve problems in another way. Once the mental aspect is resolved, use the opposite approach; the results will be immediate.
