Q:
Previously
I was devoted to another master to whom I am indebted for his grace.
I also took a serious oath in front of God. I only realize the outstanding
superiority of the Quan Yin Method now. Will I be punished by God if
I leave that master?
A:
If you fully understand the pure
purpose of spiritual practice and desire to progress by practicing a
method that will give you eternal liberation, but your teacher cannot
teach you such a method, then of course you should find another teacher
who can truly bring you into the lineage and give you the proper guidance
on the right path
.
Actually, if a master of any belief is incapable of leading sentient
beings to liberation, we should look for another master. A real master
should be able to transmit the correct method to you, initiate your
wisdom, and enable you to attain the Truth, henceforth to return to
the kingdom of God. It is just like a ship, the chief function of which
is to bring us to the opposite shore. After we reach the other shore,
we don't need it anymore. We must not cling to that ship and forget
about the real objective.
Let's take another example.
When we graduate from primary school, our teacher should allow us to
be promoted to junior high school and then high school. We should not
feel that we have disappointed or betrayed our primary school teacher
just because we have been promoted to senior high school.
