Greetings Venerable Master Chin Kung's Talk on SARS " Someone asked me; what is SARS about? Well. it is a result of unkind thoughts. Greed anger delusion and arrogance caused the particles in the air to become turbid arid virulent, givng rise to virus. All laws are created from the mind and virus is also created from the mind. The best precaution therefore starts from the mind. When the mind harbors greed, anger and delusion; these thoughts are the deadliest virus. They turn the entire external physical environment into poison. If the three negative feelings are absent from within, how can virus survive on the outside? Compassion can neutralize and detox~~ poison. Hence the mind must be pure and compassionate. Buddhists who are pure and compassionate will not be infected. If you got infected it is because your practice is not yet effective. When the practice is effective, you will not get ill, grow old or die. Talk given in Singapore on March 29 2002
There are some regions that are experiencing an epidemic of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome); the Chinese called this is a plaque. Where does plaque come from? All laws are created from the mind. From the mind things are created, from consciousness things are changed. This is the overall principle. What frame of mind will give rise to this plaque ? A mind that is not kind and actions that are not kind. Unkind intentions will yield unkind actions. The situation is the manifestation of unkind retributions. If we can repent and become kind? Cultivate pure actions, all unkind retributions will disappear naturally. People are aware that they must sever evilness and cultivate goodness. However, they can not cut themselves off from vices entirely and the goodness that they cultivate is limited. Hence, since thousands of years ago until now , there has not been a year without plagues. Every year plaques will appear. Plaques and infections occur most frequently at the time before and after the Tomb Sweeping Day (April). This time there is no exception. The plaque will last about one month. Very seldom it will last for two months. Many students ask me how to take precaution? The best precaution is to cultivate purity and compassion. Purity and compassion can neutralize all disasters. They can turn the molecular arrangements of our environment into beautiful crystal formations and disaster will disappear as a result We saw a report that when two bottles of water, one labeled "love and thanks" and the other labeled "hatred and disgusted" were placed in a laboratory for a few hours, they yielded very different forms of crystal arrangements as shown by the photographs taken under a microscope. How did the change occur? Different thinking caused the changes. Love and and thanks are good and positive thoughts of human. Anger and hatred are negative thoughts. Actually symbols that contain the thoughts of human. Without thoughts the symbols are empty and they will not be able to give rise to changes. WHen characters were created, the creators have given the characters meanings. Hence when the characters are used, the symbols are in consonant with our thinking and this thinking is then transmitted to the water and the water naturally changes accordingly.
