How to Experience the Buddha Nature Within...
The Meditation on Loving-Kindness
By GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui

In doing Meditation On Loving-Kindness, the meditator concentrates on the Crown and Heart chakras  while the hands are raised forwards with the intention of radiating the compassionate healing energy of Buddha Kwan Yin, and simultaneously chanting the mantra “Om Mani Pad-me Hum.” “Om Mani Padme Hum” is the mantra of mercy and compassion. In Buddhism, Meditation On Loving-Kindness is called “Metta”. In Pranic Healing it is called the “Meditation On Twin Hearts.”

To experience one’s Buddha Nature, it is necessary to activate the Crown chakra, which is the center of universal love, universal compassion and illumination. The Heart chakra is the center of human love, the emotional heart. The Crown chakra can only be sufficiently activated when the Heart chakras have been sufficiently activated first.

When a person does the Meditation On Loving-Kindness, divine energy flows down, filling the meditator with divine light, love, and power. The meditator becomes a channel of this divine energy. In Taoist Yoga, this divine energy is call “Tian Chi”. Christians call this the “descent of the Holy Spirit”, which is symbolized by a pillar of light with a descending dove. Spiritual aspirants who have practiced this meditation for quite some time may experience being enveloped by dazzling, sometimes blinding light.

Due to space constraints only a short excerpt of the meditation is included; you should be able to feel the tremendous energy generated when you try it. For the full version, refer to GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui’s book “Om Mani Padme Hum, The Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus”.

Here are the steps:
1. Do some physical exercises to prepare the body for the down-pouring of spiritual energies.
2. Face East and Invoke for Divine Blessings
3. Connect your tongue to the palate — this is to increase the energy level of the meditator.
4. Concentrate on your Heart chakra
5. Raise your hands at chest level with palms facing outwards, visualize a small Earth, the size of a small ball in front of your hands.
6. Silently or verbally recite the following Prayer of Compassion and Blessings as you direct the energies to the entire Earth:

May all sentient beings in the higher world, in the middle world, in the lower world, in all eight directions, above and below, be blessed by the Universal Supreme Being,
by Buddha Shakyamuni
by Buddha Kwan Yin (Buddha
   Avalokiteshvara)
by Boddhisattva Mei Ling
   (Boddhisattva Padmasambhava)
by all the Buddhas and Boddhisattvas.
May all sentient beings be blessed
with compassionate purifying light,
and soothing healing energy.

May all sentient beings be soothed
of their pain, sorrow and suffering.

May all sentient beings be blessed
with good health, happiness, spirituality, illumination, abundance and prosperity.

May the mind of all sentient beings be blessed with divine light, wisdom and discernment.

May the heart of all sentient beings be blessed with divine love, with warmness, sweetness and compassion for all.

May the will of all sentient beings be blessed with divine power, with inner strength to do what is right and to refrain from unwholesome actions and behaviors.

7. Chant the mantra seven times lovingly and compassionately:
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...
Om Mani Padme Hum...

8. Repeat steps #5-#7 while concentrating on the Crown chakra

9. Repeat #5-#7 while concentrating on both the Heart and the Crown chakras.

10. Put your hands down and visualize a brilliant point of flame of “white” light on top of your head. Simultaneously chant silently “OM”, then be still and be aware for 30 seconds. Then repeat the chanting and stillness process seven times....

11. To release the excess divine energy, you can raise your hands with palms facing outwards and bless the Earth and your loved ones with  divine love, mercy and compassion....

12. Do some physical exercises to assimilate the Spiritual Energies into your bodies.

The Meditation on Loving-Kindness generates a tremendous downpouring of Spiritual Light, Love and Power. You can use these Divine Energies for healing yourself and others, as we do in Pranic Healing. You can also use Divine Energies to bless your loved ones, friends and to bless your projects and goals with success and fruitful manifestation.
