"SAVE YOURSELVES BEFORE SAVING OTHERS" 

                    From Master JingKong

By Master Jing Kong

SAVE YOURSELVES BEFORE SAVING OTHERS

 

The beings nowadays are hard to save

What does the “save” mean?

Using a common language, it means to help, to assist.

It is hard to help the beings in this time.

Why? They don’t accept, they don’t believe.

Nothing can be done then.

If they will accept and are able to believe, they can be helped then.

So, comes one, save one.

Don’t do intentionally. Like “I have to help others”.

Why? We have not attained enlightenment ourselves yet.

If one has not attained enlightenment, how could he help others!

 

Buddha said well in the sutra.

Those who have not become enlightenment yet want to help others to achieve enlightenment,

There is nothing right about them. It’s nonsense.

One definitely has to save himself, and then he will become really able to save others.

 

Now disasters show up.

Internet, spiritual mediums, prophecies, scientists,

They leak us many many information.

We are overwhelmed with information.

The prophecies, we don’t need to care about them.

What should we care about?

We should care about their methods of neutralization.

In other words, what methods to use to deal with these disasters.

We have read a lot about it. Most of them stand for as what Braden from US said,

Cut off evilness and cultivate goodness; correct flaws and return to rightness; adjust our hearts and minds.

 

All the Dharmas direct us towards the Buddha recitation method.

Recite Amitabha, seek for the rebirth in the Pureland.

If you truly believe it, really wish that, recite Amitabha and seek for the rebirth in the Pureland wholeheartedly, all disasters will be neutralized.

If we share a karmic recitation with a disaster and when a disaster falls on us, you will see Amitabha showing up in the air to guide you to the World of the Ultimate Bliss.

What you dream about everyday becomes true.

How could you be unhappy about it?

You should raise huge happiness.

Finally I get out of the Samsara in the Six Path.

 

I haven’t been able to achieve that since countless kalpas ago.

I am now able to get out of it, what a huge good thing it is!

If you still have remaining lifetime in destiny, you will be going through the disasters safely.

 

For those who remain alive in this world, there are for sure tasks and missions for you.

Your will be helping beings to return to the shore (from sea of death).

After the disasters, only good men left.

They are all able to believe, to understand and to act.

All are good men.

So if the disasters come, it’s a good thing if we can survive.

It is even better if we get reborn in the Pureland.

 

Do we have to know about the disasters? No, we don’t.

If someone asks, we just nod, I know it.

Recite Amitabha truly, seek for the rebirth in the Pureland, this problem gets solved then.

Our hearts should remain calm and steady, there is no need to know too much.

Knowing too much is just obstacle.

Less delusions come with less knowledge, and more troubles come with knowing more people.

There is not need to get to know many people, not to know many things, no need.

Recite Amitabha truly, listen to lectures about sutras every day, how happy that is!

That is the right path.

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled
And you need some lovin' care
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

 

You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again

 

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

 

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow

 

Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door

 

You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin', runnin', yeah, yeah
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will

 

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

 

You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come runnin', runnin', yeah, yeah
To see you again

 

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
Oh, yeah, now, you've got a friend
Yeah baby, you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend
