Sakyamuni Buddha was born in the land of the India as a human. He was awakened to his original nature through ascetic sufferings and practice and attained Buddhahood. He expounded his teachings of the Dharma to the beings in the human world on the basis of the doctrine of cause and conditions and transmigration. He departed this world after having revealed the truth of the universe to the world through his disciples for over forty-five years. After the passing of Sakyamuni Buddha, various kinds of Buddhist sects have appeared in the name of Buddha, various kinds of Buddhist sects have appeared in the name of Buddhism in this world. They told us the truth of the world and ways of the seekers of enlightenment, then, disappeared. Great Monk Jajae Manhyon who renounced a worldly life to become a practitioner, due to his questions on life and death in his twenties, entered a Samadhi, a high level of meditative concentration in selflessness through recitation of Buddha's name. He has clearly seen the ways of the Threefold Great Thousand World Systems and their movements and is now sharing this with others.
"The reward of the Buddhas are absolutely in existence. Buddha in the Dharma Body abides in the absolute realm as an immeasurable light that shines all over the world. The pure Dharma Vairochana Buddha is the Dharma Body of Sakyamuni. Buddha embraces all the pure Dharma bodies of all Buddhas in the body."
The Buddha that Monk Jajae Manhyon has revealed is one that is a being that has the three bodies, namely, the Dharma Body, the Reward Body and the Transformation Body. The Dharma Body is the origin of the Reward and Transformation Bodies. The Buddha Body made of immeasurable light is the essential element to become a Buddha. Monk Jajae Manhyon says that there must be a decision made by Sakyamuni Buddha for a Buddha to be born in this Saha-world.
"I see immeasurable light - a clear, bright and lucid light - during my practice. Then I pass another gateway, meet with many Buddhas in deep samadhi who have come to see me and listen to their Dharma talks directly. I listen to the Dharma of Buddhas, receive their guidance on my practice and as I practice as a Buddha, I enter deeper into samadhi."
Even to Buddhist disciples, the remarks that the Great Monk has made are not usual. It is because books written by past Great Master Monks or those of the Seon Sect seldom speak of these things. At first glance, one with no connection with Buddhism will have difficulty understanding this state which Great Monk Jajae Manhyon refers to.
"It was January 2001. While practicing chanting the sacred name of a Buddha he entered the samadhi. Buddha said to him :"
The Buddha does neither abide outside nor inside of the mind.
The Buddha abides in an 'Absolute Realm in selflessness.'
The mind does not have an inside or on outside.
As it neither goes nor comes and does not move,
Buddha abides in that way, too.
Only humans say whether it exists or it does not exist,
but the Buddhas abide in an 'Absolute Realm in Selflessness'.
At that time, he realized the fact that he himself had accomplished hardship in a past lifetime and that he had been Ananda, one of the ten noble disciples who attended to the Buddha at his side at the time of the Spirit Mountain of Sakyamuni Buddha at his side at the time of the Spirit Mountain of Sakyamuni Buddha. The Great Monk heard and experienced much regarding the Realms of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the state of deep samadhi that he reached through recitation of Buddha’s name. The state of his being able to see Sakyamuni Buddha supervising the Threefold Great Thousand World Systems and various stages of Bodhisattvas was not been realized in a day. He attained Buddhahood because he already broke through his Hwadu a long time ago. He chose to practice meditation by chanting Buddha’s name with a thirst for seeking the truth of the universe and also practiced recitation.
In the book <<The 21st Century Buddha’s Message>>, published in 2005, the Great Monk revealed the song of bliss that he had composed in samadhi in selflessness in 2002.
Empty, empty,
the Threefold Great Thousand World Systems
are empty.
The empty realm
where
no dust
and no particle
exists.
Clear, clean,
and pureness itself.
Bliss, bliss,
it is bliss
At that time, Great Monk Jajae Manhyon passed through samadhi and attained his Buddhahood approved by the Buddha.
