Deity Connection
Where did the deity connection come from?
Few people would be able to experience deity connection through reciting & practicing the Four Noble Truths & Twelve Lins of Dependent Origination. Most individuals would need to practice. The Six Perfections and ALL 8400 Heaps of Dharmas, Zen meditation, correct observations, practice The Way of Bodhisattva and cultivate a well-rounded state to be able to experience deity connection.
Arhat’s deity connection and Bodhisattva’s deity connections are different. Arhat’s deity connection has a limitation of only being able to see things and hear sounds from the Great Chiliocosm world (three thousand great thousand boundless universes), and have knowledge of only eighty thousand cause-and-effect situations. Bodhisattva’s deity connections are unlimited. Able to see and hear beyond the universes, can read everyone’s heart desires, and have knowledge of over eighty thousand karmic cycles.
Bodhisattva has such a deity connection because of his good-willed merits in practicing The Way of Bodhisattva. We all are able to obtain deity connection if we have a heart of Bodhisattva, and practice The Way of Bodhisattva and various deity connections will come naturally without requests. On the other hand, devils and evils are also able to obtain deity connections and use these connections to harm others as well as lure those who are greedy in wanting deity connections for their own selfish uses. Therefore, please be careful and do not fall into the tricks of these devilish cults.
