"I
would like to tell you something about the other worlds. We have
many bodies; there are different names for them; let's just say
the physical body and another kind of body, the psychic body. The
people who drink wine, and who smoke and take drugs, or something
like that, are doing damage to their spiritual bodies, the material
body and also the spiritual body. And after they die, the people
in Heaven have to heal them, cure them and help them like a medical
doctor does here. After a long course of this kind of treatment,
these people recover and then reincarnate as human beings again.
They undergo many experiences like that until they learn their lessons,
then they want to practice spiritually, and then they can become
higher.
On
another planet we call 'Venus,' they have many small 'hospitals'
like that for different kinds of people. And the people who live
in that Pure Land are very highly intelligent people, very spiritual,
very high level. They are mostly nearly Masters, most of them can
become Masters. And they don't use medicine or equipment to heal
these kinds of people. They use different kinds of energy, rays
or light to heal this kind of patient.
Just
like here in this world sometimes we use different laser rays to
heal people, to treat cancer. These people are only like higher
scientists, better scientists. Masters are just more highly developed
scientists. They know how to change the energy in the atmosphere,
and make you become different. Just like if you're a good scientist
in this world, you can change sunlight into energy, into electricity.
'Venus'
is just one of these Heavens. Don't be attached to the name. Because
there's not only one Heaven; there are many Heavens curing people
like that. Many sentient beings of other pure lands also help us
all the time. They use the energy of light to help the patients
there, the people on Earth, and the beings in hell. They help a
lot of poor people and desperate people, praying people and suffering
people."
