Warm Greetings to All Disciples of UHBE
Dear disciples, the birthday of the Founder Grand Master Dasira Narada is formally celebrated each year. On this special occasion, we would like to extend our sincere greetings to disciples from all UHBE centers around the world, and congratulate everyone on their spiritual achievements. We wish that all disciples will always be happy, diligent, and successful in their cultivation and development.
Every year, on the day of October 24th, UHBE centers around the world come together for spiritual discussion and meditation. This is to remind all disciples to always remember in their hearts, the blessing and virtue of the Founder Grand Master. He is the spiritual Father who brought to life “Divine Dharma Meditation”, a preeminent meditation method for spiritual cultivation, suitable for everyone to practice in this era of modern civilization. His method is miraculous in helping humankind liberate itself from the suffering of this earthly world. By practicing and believing in his moral teachings, disciples will be able to broaden their consciousness, understand the main goal of spiritual cultivation, and effectively apply their knowledge to improve their lives. The Founder Grand Master has taught us about the evolution of all beings and the marvelous method of meditation. He teaches us to always be conscious about leading a spiritual life and to cultivate our innate ability in order to help humankind and build merits. With his guidance, a virtuous foundation will soon develop; disciples will experience an obvious change in their consciousness that is a gradual transformation of selfishness, attachment, and egoism into altruism loving kindness, and doing good for themselves as well as for humanity.
Generally in life, people always desire many things to satisfy their material needs; however, they are never content with what they have. People are born with an arranged destiny, which is reflected throughout their lives. Rich or poor, happy or sad, sick or healthy are reflections of the good and bad deeds from many previous lives. In order to change the current situation and have a better life, people cannot simply wish and pray for one, because the Law of Karma or Cause and Effect represents the justice of the universe. This Law exists to fairly reward the good and to discipline the bad. Once we understand the meaning of this law, we must accept that we cannot rely on anyone else, but it is our own self who decides our fate. The Founder Grand Master’s teachings are developed to deliver humankind from danger, to guide us towards spiritual advancement, and to explain the law of the universe so that disciples will not commit wrong doings, completely detach from defiled existence, and liberate themselves from suffering. When practicing His teachings, disciples should be conscious to realize that besides the coarser material life is a noble and finer spiritual life that you should reserve more time to nourish. You should plan a meaningful path for your life, do not live aimlessly, and do not waste time.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that: “There is no other ideal that is better and happier than the ideal of serving for the evolution of humanity”. The spiritual discipline of UHBE not only provides healing treatment to help alleviate suffering, but also is a practical and effective method for disciples to gain merits, develop virtuous seeds, and neutralize afflictions due to negative karmas. Furthermore, helping others give disciples a chance to know people, to learn valuable lessons from them, and to understand the root cause of suffering. This is also a basic means for disciples to practice loving kindness and perform good deeds to pay back the debts they owe to many others from previous lives. When disciples have followed and practiced the Founder Grand Master’s teachings properly; to advance further disciples must meditate diligently.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that: “In Life, everything happens for a reason and has an underlying truth”. For the soul to ascend, disciples have to meditate and cultivate the mind to develop wisdom, to consciously recognize the truth and the untruth of life. The Founder Grand Master teaches many lessons related to life experiences to help disciples contemplate deeply and understand the law of action and reaction. It is important that disciples learn from daily activities of living and from their surroundings, because they reflect what is right and what is wrong in life. These experiences also provide conditions for us to contemplate during meditation and to recognize the underlying truth of karmas and their association with the cause of human suffering. Going through the lessons of this earthly world helps disciples have the right mindfulness, and be able to see things as truly as they are. As a result, wrongful thoughts are automatically eliminated and bad karma has no chance to grow. Then, the soul will advance quickly on the road towards liberation.
UHBE is a profound spiritual discipline that delivers humankind from suffering and is suitable for the present and for future generations. Dear disciples, since you already have an affinity to the Founder Grand Master, you should try your best to cultivate your soul based on the foundation of His moral teachings, and strive forward for the evolution of your own self as well as for the evolution of humankind.
On this celebration of the 162nd birthday of the Founder Grand Master Dasira Narada, again, we would like to congratulate disciples from all UHBE meditation centers around the world. We hope that you achieve many merits, have a peaceful life, and spiritually ascend in the loving and protecting embrace of the Founder Grand Master.
To all with love,
