Did the Quan Yin Method exist also in ancient times?
M: The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng passed down the Quan Yin Method to ten disciples. However, the lineage of the method was discontinued later. It was because the most enlightened disciple had gone to another country and developed there, and this country heard no more about this lineage. Sometimes because of political reasons, economic reasons or the collective karma of the people of that country does not allow Master’s teachings to be continued there. So it will go develop in another place. This time is urgent, besides so many disasters, so many wars, so many suffering in this world, you can’t wait to select one or two disciples. It is the order from heaven that we spread it quickly and openly. It is the mercy of heaven, of Buddhas also. We have accumulated too much negative karma, through the killing of animals en masse, and through many destructive weapons.
