CHAT 2 :
B: u read my latest?

C: Zf one?

B: Zf still believes that VM Y, is a true yogi
hahaha! the naming of enlightened ones really is the greatest Mara's test!
C: this tells that salvation is really a matter of time and affinity
anyway, GM yesterday told us the 4 levels of masters
and to ask ourselves in which level we are in
if the master lies, then it's really too bad for those who believe in him/her
the pronounced ones are on the theoretical enlightenment only


if only KT would understand that
it requires pragmatism

B: My dear, not everyone truly can understand dharma's profoundness
even after GM explained in simplified form also not many grasp a thing!

In Chat 1 - the subject learned High King Sutra and GM's Mantra to save his girlfriend that jumped down from the 1st floor of a block of flats.
Remember the one that was in critical condition from Head Injury that I helped and she recovered swiftly?
Both are non-TBS students.

After this incident, when AA's friends suggested that he adopt other religious practices, he said: Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom to them! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vasubandhu (Sanskrit; traditional Chinese: 世親; ; pinyin: Shìqīn; Wylie: dbyig gnyen) (fl. 4th to 5th century C.E.) was a very influential Buddhist monk and scholar from Gandhara. Vasubandhu was a philosopher who wrote on the Abhidharma from the perspectives of the Sarvastivada and Sautrāntika schools. Along with his half-brother Asanga, he was also one of the main founders of the Yogacara school after his conversion to Mahayana Buddhism.

Vasubandhu's Commentary on the Treasury of the Abhidharma (Abhidharmakośabhāṣya) is widely used in Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism as the major source for non-Mahayana Abhidharma philosophy. His philosophical verse works set forth the standard for the Indian Yogacara metaphysics of "appearance only" (vijñapti-mātra), which has been described as a form of "epistemological idealism", phenomenology[1] and close to Kant's Transcendental Idealism.[2] Apart from this, he wrote several commentaries, works on logic, argumentation and devotional poetry.

Vasubandhu is one of the most influential thinkers in the Indian Buddhist philosophical tradition. In Jōdo Shinshū, he is considered the Second Patriarch and in Chan Buddhism, he is the 21st Patriarch.
世亲(梵文:वसुबन्दु Vasubandhu),亦译天亲,音译婆薮槃豆、伐苏畔度,佛教 4世纪 瑜伽行唯识学派 论师,生于北印度健驮逻国富娄沙富罗城,在说一切有部中出家,为无著之弟。

Yogacara thinkers like Vasubandhu argued against the existence of external objects by pointing out that we only ever have access to our own mental impressions, and hence our inference of the existence of external objects is based on faulty logic. 
Vasubandhu's Vijnaptimatratasiddhi, or 'The Proof that There Are Only Impressions' (20 verses) begins thus:

"I. This [world] is nothing but impressions, since it manifests itself as an unreal object, Just like the case of those with cataracts seeing unreal hairs in the moon and the like." [81]

According to Vasubandhu then, all our experiences are like seeing hairs on the moon when we have cataracts, that is, we project our mental images into something "out there" when there are no such things. Vasubandhu then goes on to use the dream argument to argue that mental impressions do not require external objects to (1) seem to be spatio-temporally located, (2) to seem to have an inter-subjective quality, and (3) to seem to operate by causal laws.[81] The fact that purely mental events can have causal efficacy and be intersubjective is proved by the event of a wet dream and by the mass or shared hallucinations created by the karma of certain types of beings.[82]

Buddha's teaching of scripture and realisation are maintained through Teaching & Practice.

The High King Sutra and GM's Mantra are the teaching and all you ever need is to PRACTICE!

Don't waste your time chasing in the wrong directions!
