The Miracle in the Training Camp of US Marine Corps

Joshua

I would like to give my sincere and heartfelt thanks to Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi for teaching me and allowing me to practice his Esoteric Buddhism Dharma. Ever since I began following the Holy Master last November I have been continually helped and blessed in every aspect of my life.
Between the good luck I have enjoyed, and the personal development, physically, mentally, and spiritually that I have undergone in my time as the Holy Master’s student I can only describe his Dharma as truly miraculous.

Recently I attended training camp at Parris Island South Carolina for the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps is the most elite branch of the United States Military and has the longest and most difficult recruit training program.
The fact that I even had the confidence to attempt to join the Marines is a miracle. I had thought about it from time to time when I was younger, but I never thought I could do it. Before meeting the Holy Master I was very depressed in life, and I hardly had the motivation to hold the most simple and low paying jobs, much less join the most difficult branch of the military.

However, during the first 3 months as Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi’s student my physical and mental strength increased dramatically, and I was able gain the confidence and strength necessary to enlist.

Marine Corps Boot Camp can be a very difficult place, filled with mental and physical challenges. However, during my time there, I was blessed and protected constantly, so that not only was I able to successfully complete my training there, but also do so in relative comfort and ease. This was partly because of the good luck I enjoyed and partly because following Holy Master strengthened and prepared me for the challenges that I faced.

Before I met Holy Master I weighed 121 pounds. When I prepared to leave for Boot Camp a few months later I weighed 145 pounds. Following the Esoteric Dharma gave me the energy and motivation to exercise, and also gave my body the ability to quickly add muscle and build the stamina and endurance that allowed me to pass all the physical challenges with ease.

During my time at Parris Island we experienced the hottest summer on record with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity at or near 100%. This created a miserable time for many of the recruits, but somehow, even though I wasn’t used to such heat normally in my home state of New York, the heat and humidity did not bother me, except for 1 or 2 times. My only explanation is that practicing the Esoteric Dharma improved my body’s circulation and ability to handle excess heat.
The mental challenges of Marine Corps training involved being screamed at by our Drill Instructors in way meant to bring stress to everything we did, having our dignity and self-importance stripped away and getting along with 80 other recruits prone to arguing and in fighting in the midst of constant stressful and miserable conditions.

For many of the recruits these posed a big challenge, and some couldn’t take it, or struggled to adapt.
From the beginning, the training and perspective provided to me by following Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and his Esoteric Dharma allowed me to remain calm in the face of stress, keep my sense of humor in humiliating circumstances, and work together smoothly with my fellow recruits. In fact, many people, both my Drill Instructors and fellow recruits, remarked that I was always positive, motivated, and never complained or did anything purposely wrong.

What really makes this all remarkable and miraculous is that before I began practicing the Esoteric Dharma I was a completely different person. From thinking and worrying too much I was always feeling very stressful, even in relatively calm circumstances. I was totally unmotivated and was always looking for reasons to quit and excuses for why I shouldn’t work hard or apply myself. I had a very big ego, and was always looking down on other people and finding reasons why I was better than them, and always criticizing and belittling them.

However, after following Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and practicing his Esoteric Dharma I have been able to see the error of my ways, and receive the healing and guidance to make a complete turnaround in my life and develop my good qualities so that I could enter an environment as difficult as Marine Corps training and make it a success.

Not only did the Dharma strengthen me mentally and physically, but I also enjoyed many instances of good luck, this was the biggest one:

Soon after I arrived at Boot Camp I became sick. This is normal for recruits because many people are living closely together and they come from different parts of the country bringing bacteria and viruses that others haven’t experienced before. However for me, my illness quickly became serious and I developed pneumonia. Luckily, I recovered fairly quickly, but I missed too many days of training while I was sick and had to be sent back to a different unit than the one I started with.

Things were looking bad for me because the last day of training I had completed was day 8 and the only unit available to join was on day 0.  This would mean starting my training all over again and pushing back the day of my graduation by 4 weeks. I practiced and I prayed and something strange happened. The Drill Instructor in charge assigned me to a unit that was on training day 18. This was only one week behind my original unit, so my graduation was only delayed a short time.  No one I talked to had ever heard of a recruit being sent forward in training like this before, it was a miracle that allowed me to complete my training and be reunited with my family and friends without a big delay. My only explanation is that following Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi and practicing the Esoteric Dharma wholeheartedly bring good luck and good fortune.

With endless thanks and praise I bow to the Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi for helping me, healing me, guiding me, empowering me, and protecting me. I want to use everything I have learned and every benefit I have gained from Holy Master's Dharma to help others like he have helped me.

Wonderful Practice Experience of Chanting Holy Ziguang Shang Shi's Name

The great vow of Holy Ziguang Shang Shi, the manifestation of his compassionate heart, is whoever chants his name can be relieved from suffering and freed from pains. Those who chant the Holy name wholeheartedly can receive incredible effect and results. The secret is inconceivable, wonderful and profound.

During the process of promoting Guang Huan Mi Zong Health Dharma in the West, these are two of the thank you letters from the Westerners who have had wonderful experiences or significant effect.

1. Wonderful Practice Experience of Chanting Holy Ziguang Shang Shi's Name

On August 20, 2011;10 a.m. I lay back on my bed to meditate Holy Ziguang Shang Shi. After guidance from Mark, I felt comfortable enough to let myself be open to the experience. Closing my eyes and clearing my mind I began to listen to the words on my MP3 player.

Comfortable with pronunciation I started to repeat the words to myself imagining an image of Buddah in my mind with a glowing purple and gold light emanating from the image. The light pulsated and I felt a need to adjust my hand position to cup each other, thumb pointed to the other. Returning to the image held in my mind previously I found the words Holy Ziguang Shang Shi flowing off my tongue like water pouring over a water fall.

Minutes into this I felt relaxed but a huge flow of positive energy coursed through me. Suddenly I see myself setting in a Lotus position in orange monk robes in the center of a room. Around me are thousands of others meditating as I was dressed in orange monk robes. Calm and peace flowed through the room. I opened my eyes in this vision to see the people around me and could not find the end of the room. Beautiful sandstone colored walls and buttresses expanded from the center of the room I was sitting in the middle of. Slightly startled I stood only to be guided by the monk in front of me to relax and return to my meditations. Curious I sat still watching as the monks began to glow and seemingly to float like balloons inches off the floor. Bright white lights surrounded them. The experience was so real I feel I was actually physically setting there.

After ending my meditation and reflecting on what I had seen I was excited and wanting to go back.
I write this to share my experience and to say thank you to those who work so hard to share this knowledge and making it possible for me to have access to it. This has encouraged me to continue meditating Holy Ziguang Shang Shi and hope someday to thank you personally. I hope to share what I have learned with others for it is a wonderful gift. Much gratitude and appreciation I send to you.

Be Well.

Discover the Holy Mountain at the southern tip of the NYS Adirondacks

We all take vacations to relax and enjoy ourselves to refresh our and our family’s sprits and then reenter our day-to-day lives.  The spiritual health dharma courses taught by the Western Shrine in the Holly Mountain provide maximum reenergizing of one’s spirits.  By purifying the body, mind, and sprit through the mystical energies radiated by the Nature of the Holy Mountain, people have found nourishment for themselves and their families. Many have traveled to far away destinations to obtain spiritual awakening. The World Peace and Health Foundation is excited to announce that for those in these United States of America there is a way to reach the enlightenment found in the mountains of the far east right here in upstate New York.  The Jesuits of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and the native people before them have used these sacred sites.  Today the founder of the World Peace and Health Organization, Holy Ziguang Shang Shi, through the construction of this majestic and sacred Western Shrine in the Holy Mountain opens these sights to pilgrims from around the world.

Some people and their families return annually to advance their enthusiasm for life and increase the harmony of their relations. According to a venerated guide of the Spiritual Practice Shrine in the Holy Mountain, each family member will see positive effects on improving his or her characters. They will become open-minded, tolerant, and easygoing, and respectful for the old and young. Many that visit report that the energy radiating from the Holy Mountain increases their confidence and courage.  By experiencing the raw power of Nature not only are health improvements reported, but as a side affect people that are healed tend to become patient, benevolent, and possess loving hearts.

These courses offered as room and board included vacations, can not only greatly improve your physical condition, but also revive the true inner tranquility found through purification for those who find themselves shaken by the restless modern world. Life and work is much more rewarding when approached from the more peaceful and pleasant interpretation of events found by purifying the mind by practicing the dharma on your own. The journey of spiritual practice, in the embrace of the Holy Mountain’s radiating healing Nature, can bring unsurpassed soul purification and childlike glee…

The Teaching Reflecting True Perfection

An introduction and testimony to the Guang Huan Mi Zong teaching
of Buddhist master Holy Ziguang Shang Shi

Buddhist master Holy Ziguang Shang Shi has inherited and refined a powerful system of teachings that can transform the lives of those people who practice them. Originating thousands of years ago in India from Sakyamuni Buddha, this teaching has passes from person to person across the expanses of time and space and is now being offered to anyone who wishes to receive it. In a world full of religious, spiritual, and secular teachers offering us our dreams and often delivering nightmares many of us feel lost or discouraged. The teaching of Guang Huan Mi Zong embraces all true teachings and all people, regardless of their distinctions, differences, beliefs, and sins. For those souls lost in the darkness I give you the promise that this path leads away from error and into righteousness.
When presented with a strange new food first we take look, then a taste, and if all is well then we eat. Reading this work, if you see truth, then come seek out the teachings of Holy Ziguang Shang Shi and take a small taste. If the teachings live up to their promises then you can go further. If the teaching is not right for you, there are many other good paths for you to explore. Those who partake of the true teachings with faith and devotion will find the hungers that have tormented them all their lives have finally been satisfied. The weight they have carried will be lifted, and the confined space they have lived in will give way to the expanse of the infinite.
In this world and with these bodies it is the case that with too little water we perish from thirst. Too much and we drown. Too little food and we starve. Too much and we explode. When we find the balance between too much and too little then we arrive at just right, perfection.
Balance is natural in the universe, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and the energies of the worlds are neither created nor destroyed. This teaching embraces the truths of existence and aims to restore natural balance of our bodies, hearts and minds. Deriving its power from following universal truth, this teaching brings us out of error and mistaken beliefs and aligns our lives with the eternal, boundless, perfection of existence.
Are you sick? Do have chronic or debilitating illnesses? Do you just not feel well, but can’t find anything specific? Is your heart lacking in passion, empathy, or joy? Is your mind wracked with twisted, painful thinking? Are you weakened by doubts and fear? A sense of purposelessness? Do you know the life your living is wrong but you cannot find the inspiration to change? Do you feel the pain of the world is dragging you into darkness and you can’t find hope?
These are the afflictions of a world, a society, and a body that has lost touch with the truth, fallen out of balance, and descended into a perversion of the perfection we can enjoy.
I’ll give you this promise. The world is indeed balanced and perfect. The deepest and darkest evil and misery we can find on this earth meets its match in the purity and joy we can find in the Ultimate. No matter the depth of your suffering you can find the healing that is equal to it.
Sometimes people reach the bottom of suffering. At that lowest point they cry out: “Whatever powers that exist in the world, whatever their names are, I cannot help myself, and I can’t suffer any longer, from the bottom of my heart and the depth of my being, whatever it takes please help me!”
For those of you reading this who have touched that depth, if you seek help from Holy Ziguang Shang Shi and his Guang Huan Mi Zong teaching with the same sincerity and humility, the mercy of God and the Universe can pass through him and answer your prayer. Not only will your suffering be relieved, but if you seek it, you can soar to the heights of joy that mirror the deepest depths of despair and there you will find the greatest bliss anyone can achieve.
For the weary who want rest, the seekers who want to find, and broken who want to be made whole this is the teaching that you have been looking for.

Beauty and Power of Maha Meditation

Joshua
The common conception of meditation is to sit down close your eyes and relax, as a way to bring peace to the mind. Maha mediation or great brilliance meditation begins at this mundane level and continues on to increasingly deeper and more profound levels of consciousness that  can go far beyond what anyone can imagine and can completely transform your life and your perception of yourself and the world.
cosmosHuman beings have the consciousness of vision, emanating through our eyes. Our eyes depend on light, If we take this light and focus it to a new level through the use of such methods as microscopes and telescopes we can peer deeper into the world to a level beyond our ordinary experience. Looking inward we can discover whole new universes of existence, the worlds of cells, atoms and molecules, and still further to the realm of quantum physics, and beyond. Looking outward into the sky we can see that the stars in the sky are part of vast galaxies millions, billions, or trillions in number and each containing millions, billions and trillions of stars. We can see into the beginning and end of the universe, and dimly, countless planets, like our own, possibly containing new forms of life and consciousness. Using different instruments we can see still further, perceiving new dimensions and forms of energy, microwaves,  electricity, radiation, gravity, radio waves, and so on.
All these vast and endless realms are right in front of us, but they are invisible to us, until we take our ordinary conscious of vision and enhance it by focusing light to a higher level.
Maha meditation is the technique to focus not the light of normal vision, but the light of consciousness. The practitioner can enhance his mental perception and inner vision to extend beyond the ordinary level and reveal unimaginably vast new levels of existence that were previously hidden beyond perception.
When human consciousness expanded to include the realms of cells, stars, atoms, molecules, and energy beyond sight, it was not just a discovery that was interesting on an intellectual level. The knowledge gained  by seeing and studying the previously hidden dimensions of reality led to tremendous, powerful changes of our everyday lives. Medicine, electricity, energy, transportation, communication and more were born from, are experienced a revolution in response to these new discoveries and transformed the world, bringing previously impossible or unimaginable dreams into solid existence, filling the world with comforts and wealth, and raising humanity that once lived in forests and caves to fly through the air,  and even beyond the Earth itself.
In the same way expanding the consciousness of our minds, and exploring the new frontiers thereby revealed opens up the knowledge, power, and energy, that makes impossible accomplishments an everyday reality, and the increases the peace and prosperity of the soul to tremendous dimensions, and ultimately allows the practitioner to see beyond this body, this life and this Earth, into whole new levels of existence.
While the discoveries of humanity in the exterior realm have benefited mankind materially, our interior life, spirit and soul have moved far too slow in the transformative period of the past few centuries. In some cases, such as our connection to the Earth, to ourselves, and each other, humanity has even regressed. And so the god like power mankind has attained in the physical realm has become a great benefit, but also a tremendous danger. Knowledge can illuminate the darkness and power the machinery to deliver physical freedom to move across the Earth, and create material prosperity for billions, but the power of material science is just as susceptible to greed, anger, and fear, as any other power possessed by mankind, that same power that can benefit us and fill the world with light and life can also harm us and fill the world poison, destruction, and death.
The greatest power and the benefit of Maha meditation is that it turns us inward to explore the contents of our hearts, and to contemplate the nature of our desires and emotions allowing us to cultivate within us what is good, and weed out what is harmful and destructive. Through this inner science we can balance the tremendous external power of mankind with the internal power of wisdom and compassion, and know how to use it for good and not evil.
With a huge population of billions of human beings, growing by the day, and with ever increasing powers bestowed by technology, the world is in a precarious position. The erosion of natural systems that protect, regulate, and purify the air, soil, and water, the decline of other species, the over exploitation of natural resources, and increasing tensions and threat of military confrontations or epidemic diseases and famines, are all a result of the imbalance of humanity’s external power and its internal wisdom.
Maha Meditation is the best method to resolve this problem and ensure the future of the planet is that of paradise, and not a hell. For everyone who sees the problems of the world, and the suffering of others and wants to help, the best place to start is to purify and empower yourself. Only then will you have the clarity of wisdom to see the path you need to walk, and the confidence and inner power to overcome any obstacle.
