Convenient Method
Answered by Quan Yin messenger
(Originally in Chinese)
Q: Are there any conditions
for those who practice the Convenient Method? Can children practice
this Method as well?
A: Master blesses
people with the Convenient Method for the sake of those who are longing
for spiritual enhancement but cannot be fully vegetarian; if they
are too old; or if their body or psychological condition is not appropriate
for initiation.
The introduction of this Method
will, on the one hand, let non-vegetarians slowly adapt to becoming
complete vegetarians and, on the other hand, allow the elderly a chance
to be enlightened although their body and mind cannot adapt totally.
There are no special terms or conditions for the Convenient Method.
However, without Master's permission, we should not teach this Method
at random to children less than 16 years of age, insincere people,
or people with mental incapacities, as it may not be safe for them.
