67. Adi Forrest Meditation Institute

Adi was the first ancient Buddha in this saha world, 1972

In 1972, I came to the Phu Huu hamlet of the Vinh Ich village, Ninh Hoa district of the province of Khanh Hoa, looking for a mountainous area. He went to see the place and was very pleased; I submitted a permit for building a Buddhist Temple to local and county officials of Khanh Hoa, which was approved. In the same year, He ordered to build a small house with wooden wall taken from the forest and with a thatched roof on the mountain slope; local people used to call it the Forrest Dharma School. Every Sunday morning, He went to see the place, taking repose and preaching the dharma as well as practicing meditation there. He has celebrated a great ceremony to give it the name of Adi Forrest Meditation Institute. Adi was the first ancient Buddha in this saha world.

After 1975 the Adi cancelled according to the local authorities.

In 1975, the Vietnamese political situation fully reversed. His wife and two true disciples lived and farmed there. In 1979, the communist authorities levied the agricultural taxes by recall. The mountainous land was only suitable for growing potato and corn, which is insufficient to nourish the whole family; no other crops are possible to grow there. He had insufficient money to pay the taxes, and knowing well the authorities’ intention, He, therefore, wrote a letter to offer the land to the government. According to the local authorities, the land will be distributed equally to the all people for cultivating, but in reality, it is divided among three people: The village secretary, the village president and the chief of the village police.

He had told: you should establish a Buddhist Temple.

One day, at the Central Highness Assembly at the number 42 of the Hong Bang Street, Nha Trang, He had told me something: In the future, with faithful disciples you should establish a Buddhist Temple where the courses are organized in 3 months, or 6 months according to their wishes. During the course, from Saturday evening to Sunday evening the disciples are allowed to return to live with their families. On Sunday evenings, they must be present at the temple to learn the doctrine of meditation and review their conducts. Finishing a course, the true disciples returning to their families will know what the practical way of training the Tathagata dharma right in their families is.

Please remember not to allow them to leave their home too long and continually live in the Buddhist temple. Why? In this era of modern science, they have to get in touch with society, with the family in order to penetrate into the joy and the sorrow, the happiness and unhappiness, the gain and the loss and have and have not. Either at work or at home, they could realize and penetrate all dharma, human beings would become calmer, more intelligent or they could settle public and private affairs more righteously. A conscious man can correct his bad habits, give up his hot- temper of irritability, dispute and quarrel, he gets insight from the meditation. Without meditation, it would be very difficult to prevent the breakout of bad habits, cruel characters. An impure man settles everything with less clairvoyance than the one who is calmer, having no more irritability, anxiety and sorrow.

The meditation sect:

The awakened one has to convert the devotee according to his mind-consciousness; the practice of meditation does not depend on the knowledge for literature. Because the meditation subject has no writing, the Buddhist master must be the one who knows thoroughly the motion of the mind-consciousness. So he has to choose the way of teaching meditation according to the true disciple. The meditation penetrates deeply into the instinct, looking for the main radiating force to be the path of enlightenment in order to get the insight of all dharma idealistically: the universe and the body and mind are only unique constitution.
