What Is Initiation? Supreme Master Ching Hai Explains the Spiritual Beginning

❓You can’t just listen to me and become a Buddha or attain Self-Realization. No, you have to practice. That’s why after a lecture, I always teach people, not just by words, but by transferring God’s direct Energy, God’s direct inside Teaching. When I’m talking, of course, there is a Blessing directly from God, but the percentage is less than if you are initiated and connect directly with the Energy from God through my presence. Then you will be quicker, more enlightened, and sure of liberation in one lifetime. Because when I give initiation, or delegate and give the Power temporarily for that initiation, and if you are there, you will inherit a different power, and you’ll be liberated in one lifetime.
✨It’s not the talking, because when I give the real initiation, I don’t even have to be next to you. I can send a Quan Yin messenger and bestow upon him that Power of initiation. No, I will be in him for that moment, because each disciple has different energy, different rank, different sincerity, so they will have to be taught differently, inside, not by words, only to your soul. It’s the deepest teaching, the real, true Teaching, if you can assimilate It.

🔥If you’re not sincere and you pretend to come in and ask for initiation, you will also be treated as an initiate, but you won’t get much, or you will get nothing at that time. And if you’re sincere and you request or pray again, then we might do it, and then give it to you, then at that time you will receive it then. It’s not like, OK, you just come in and you will receive initiation. Even if I want to give it to you, it’s you who are the one who cannot receive it. You build a wall around you, you refuse it inside, and we cannot force you. So that is the thing about initiation. It’s about inside, from the real Self to another real Self. It’s not just my talk, because when giving initiation, a real initiation, we don’t talk. At that time, we sit together, for an hour or more, but no talking then. The talking would be done before that, just instructions of how you should sit, where you should be able to find your soul, and how to reach liberation, how to reach a higher and higher and higher spiritual consciousness, every day. It’s just like a menu. So, just like before initiation, before the real initiation – which is from inside, nothing to do with the outside, not moving even anything, not moving any finger, not doing anything – you just sit still, either on the floor with the cushion, or on the bed or on the chair; safety and comfort are important. …

🍎Just like whatever I told you at the time of initiation or a little after initiation, some repeating of something, this is all like a recipe for a cake, but it’s not the cake. …
