These six meditation subjects are formed by one’s desires and rooted causes. However many layers of unconscious error are built, that many layers of individuality are rooted. Because of unconscious errors in holding onto particular fields, there exist the six Tao, which are Deva, Human, Asura, Animals, Hungry Ghost, and the ultimate bottom: Hell.

When practitioners enjoy meditation, aiming to focus on a specific field, then when they are about to die, their life will start to be transferred into the world of Deva, or back to the Human world, to Asura, or to Hell, depending on their consequences of True Reward or retribution. It is same as the permanent characteristic of the above meditation’s six doors: it complies with the preferences and expectations of practitioners, who attaches themselves to specified fields, to respond to their desires and vows.

When a practitioner enjoyably practices meditation by holding onto Martial-Arts’ Tao or Supernatural Power, he or she recognizes, “My meditation subject is the absolute highest truth, so that no other meditation subject can even compare.”

If a practitioner enjoyably practices meditation by the inclination of holding onto Impromptu Speech, he or she does not realize anything else outside of this field, recognizing instead that his or her meditation subject is the absolutely highest truth, so that no other meditation subject can even compare to it.

Some practitioners enjoyably cultivate Meditation of Deity or Deity Power, practicing by holding onto prayers and expectations. They respectfully receive the Deity’s supernatural efficacy and power, which is absolutely authentic truth, and their meditation is the highest form, so that no other meditation subject is more precious than it.

Another kind of practitioner enjoys Meditation of Human and Heaven.  This practitioner practices meditation by holding onto expectations of disembodiment, making the spiritual consciousness fine and liberated to directly contact with the Devas, being acutely aware of the Earth, longevity, and immortality, and obtaining the sacred intelligence. This practitioner recognizes that his or her meditation is the absolutely highest truth, and that no other meditation subject can compare to it.

When practitioners enjoyably practice meditation by holding onto Still Tranquility, they recognize that the Still Dharma is a Dharma subject escaping the human world, dissolving accumulated karmas, ending fettered karma[7], and achieving tranquil mind. This direction of practice is either unintentional or intentional, leading to tranquility in the Fairy Tao or to isolated tranquility. These practitioners falsely think that the acquired fruit of Buddha is nothing outside of tranquility, and they realize that their meditation is the absolute highest truth, so that no other meditation Dharma subject can be outside of tranquility.

There are also practitioners who pleasantly intend Meditation of Fairy Tao. These practitioners conceive of this meditation as liberation from the birth–death cycle, and their meditative sitting aims at training in focusing on a specific field. They admit that the Fairy Tao is fine and liberated, easy to practice, and easy to acquire, and the Fairy world is happy and leisurely. Thus, this meditation is the absolute original truth, and no other meditation subject could compare with it.

The meditation subject’s six doors are supplies that are suitable to the demands of practitioners because the essential nature of meditation corresponds to each fixed thought, to mindlessness, to arising illusory thought, to knowledgeable rank, to individual attainment, and to light or heavy error, so it leads to the such formation. They are neither true enlightenment nor the Dharma of immortal truth. Why? This is because holding onto a particular field uses the unreal ego that creates such existence. This is why the Buddha said, “You obtain what you desired. Meditation nature corresponds to one’s vow, which leads to the formation.”

7.1 Meditation of Martial-Arts’ Tao and Supernatural Power

❖ Using the supernatural efficacy to nourish the spiritual consciousness to establish the SECT.

❖ Using the Dharma electricity, Divine electricity to establish the PRINCIPLE.

❖ Using the absorption through sitting meditation and martial arts to establish the ESSENCE.

❖ Using the tranquility together with flowers, fruits, and vegetarian food to establish the APPLICATION.

Nowadays, the meditation sect of martial arts’ Tao is divided in many directions. In Tibet, practitioners use energy through meditative sitting to produce heat in cold weather. The meditation assistant dips a blanket in water and covers the body of who performs the meditative sitting. Depending on the practitioner’s ability to produce heat, the blanket is taken off once it has dried. Only this sect determines the achieved level of meditation practicing, which is high or low depending on the performance with wet blankets in the freezing winter. A practitioner of the highest rank can use up to seven blankets overlapped on his or her body. In other places, people practice this meditation by training strength, training Artemisia (a herb), and by tattooing one’s body. In Thailand, they use the martial arts’ meditation to practice the martial arts’ Tao. In Vietnam, this meditation is practiced mainly on Thất Sơn Mountain,[8] and the practice absorbs and uses quintessence (pure substance), energy, and spirit.

7.2 Meditation of Impromptu Speech

❖ Using the worship with faithful mind to establish the SECT.

❖ Using the planchette writing and penetration into the body, appearing through impromptu poems to establish the PRINCIPLE.

❖ Using the tranquility, sitting meditation, and holy efficacy to establish the ESSENCE.

❖ Using drum-castanets, offering ceremonies, and formal dress to establish the APPLICATION.

Nowadays, this sect is found in great numbers and divided into many forms with different degrees of superstition. One form is praying for the Buddha-Mother, the Great Saint, or the Divine Fairy. The other forms are medium, penetration into the body, and the use of shrines. All are not outside of planchette impromptu speech.

Many countries esteem this meditation sect and are learning it. Most ascending intellectuals are studying this sect in two ways. The first is by nourishing the spirit and body, curing diseases, using the sitting meditation to receive divine energy, and disembodiment. This way aims at training the quintessence of spiritual consciousness that creates the basis for acquiring the fruit of sacred opening—also known as quintessence-energy-spirit—making one’s spiritual consciousness able to mutually sympathize with heaven, illuminating awareness of the universe.

The second way is to study Buddhism through sitting mediation. This way aims at attaining knowledge and seeing metaphysics. Nowadays, followers of this way in Japan use Zen meditation and yoga; in southern Vietnam, they follow the theosophy sect.

7.6 Meditation of the Fairy Tao

❖ Choosing the mountain-forest and leaving the secular world to establish the SECT.

❖ Using purity and a tranquil mind to establish the PRINCIPLE.

❖ Using the sitting meditation and leaving desire and love to establish THE ESSENCE.

❖  Using the austere life with vegetarian food to establish the APPLICATION.

The Fairy Tao accords with the root of nature, moral nature, knowlegeable level, reflective thought, and fixed thought, which is not outside fineness, roughness, and subtlety, to practice sitting meditation. That’s why the acquired fruit of Fairy practice is characterized by rank. The Fairy Tao’s meditation Dharma subject is exclusively fixed thoughts, training the Dharma of noble fineness, beauty, taking and rejecting, selecting, filtering, and then absorbing and training. Most practitioners of the Fairy Tao meditation enjoyably ascend to the mountains or isolated mountain-forest’s places. They include people who were disgusted with life, left the secular world behind, and ascended the mountain looking for a master to train with.

Nowadays, it is really rare to find a practitioner of the Fairy path. When a Buddhist practitioner is lost or not thorough in their way of practice, even if they faithfully believe in Buddha but their direction of practice is wrong, they still practice in expectation of limited good consequences in the Divine Human’s life, and still fall into the Fairy Tao. The wrong thoughts do not occur just today: Buddhists in the past often lost their way of practice. This is why the Diamond Sutra explains the four forms of liberation through solving, aiming to leave it for future generations to avoid mistakes in practice.
