#platform/youtube #channel/bodhi-light  I make bold statements like that and it causes problems but someone has to say it your mental illnesses like panic attacks PTSDs and depression and so forth there is a ghost behind a demon behind it for example a depression mental illness is a very powerful demon and so these mental illnesses are very difficult to deal with and that's why the medical profession they struggle a lot because they don't know how to handle invisible beings demons and ghosts so they chuckle they said oh you believe in nonsense but it turns out for example many people who help patients with dementia or crazy people or depressed people end up becoming like their patients what do you think I make bold statements like that and it causes problems but someone has to say it I would say that a high percentage of my colleagues suffer from depression in anxiety yeah because many of the patients have depression and anxiety this is very dangerous thing for you to go into these beings are very very dangerous you're messing with them they're going unchecked right now you cannot deal with them through drugs drugs only work temporarily but they cause problems the the better way is if they're at the risk of hurting themselves they need to use drugs they need to to get hospitalized but beyond that the drugs will help them a little bit but causes other problems the best way for them to deal with is I hope people in your profession should look more into meditation if you're gonna mellow anyway to make a living teach them the right things you have to meditate mental illnesses are they mess with your they plant thoughts in your head and therefore you have to counter that the most effective way to counter that is to still your thoughts and not follow those thoughts that's the only way I know of so at various levels low level okay you can control yourself to certain thoughts high level you control more thoughts you will not be affected and more more of these thoughts so that up to a certain level they can no longer affect you they can no longer affect me for example I am severe bipolar never been diagnosed but I finally realized that and after I met my Master's Dharma I see so many people who are depressed for sure if you have depression most likely you also are manic as well because it's attacked you from both ends thank you Master I would like to share a story a few weeks ago my daughter told me that she said mom I think I have some mental illness my oldest one and I say why are you saying that and she said because I keep on hear on voice that's telling me to kill myself and then she said but mom I don't have that thought starting since yesterday and I say what did you do different and she say the cassette that daddy record for me so we record your chanting of the mantra the Shurangama Mantra the Medicine Buddha the morning recitation and she listened to it and she said mom when I turn on Master chanting that thought went away really usually she's able to do that on her own she's so severe they would prevent her from even doing that so this is very good news that now she has a tool to calm herself down on her own and she chooses to be calm instead of allow herself to be tormented get worked up that's a sign of having blessings in action have a listen to the chanting more often okay yeah that's all turn it on some of my let's say acupuncturists people that I know or mental doctors I know they find a way to sneak in our mantras in the office I said why would you do that oh my god I don't want to fight all your ghosts and he said it worked Master I said which ones he says Medicine Master Mantra I turn it on very softly in my office so in a waiting room they could hear it it's very melodic so it's very soft so they don't even notice and it calms them down and then I said good don't turn on that 哆姪他 唵 阿那隸 毗舍提because because it will offend a lot of new ghosts so two things you can do Medicine Master Mantra you can turn on or the Great Compassion Mantra why is that because here at Wei Mountain Temple during the Great Compassion Repentance I noticed that a lot of our disciples who have depression and that kids are depressed there used to be some family here every time during the Compassion Repentance where we circle emblaze and recite a great compassion mantra it calms them down they feel oh I feel so good and they hug their mom's thing oh this is happiness it's so cool so those mantras work thank you for sharing with us if you have the blessings you'll be able to use those tools so you have to be careful and people reject them because they don't have enough blessing they cannot afford to find peace in the mind find a way to restore peace in their lives it's very difficult thing it's a lifelong issue it's no easy solution
