(I would like to ask Master this. There is a creative energy inside each of us.) Yes. (How do we develop this inner creativity and inspiration? Please shed some light, thank You.) Hallo! Thank you for coming. Thank You.
Just like what you’ve said, we have this artistic creativity inside, but we are too busy. We are busy making a living, taking care of children and family. This modern era makes us even busier. In the old times, the technology was not so advanced, and life was simpler. We had more time to seek abilities within. But this era makes us very busy, so many abilities and power are lost. We used to be able to communicate inside and understand each other without talking. We could fly. We could jump into the sky. We could travel from one place to another without taking airplane. With our inner power, we could hear from afar without telephone. We could know the past, present and future. We could be omnipresent. But now, when people talk about these powers, we would think they are just fairytales. But they are real. Some people still have these abilities. When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, He and His disciples could do that. Now we may be rich in material aspects, but we are lacking in spiritual aspects.
In fact, the animals have maintained these qualities and powers. That’s why they can communicate with one another regardless of distance. It’s because they focus inwardly and they can communicate more naturally and freely with their spiritual nature within. For example, if you have dogs and cats, they all have this telepathy ability. They can also read our past and future, but we can’t read it ourselves.
However, we can regain it. We can regain not just the creative power, but also many other powers. When we have time, try to calm our mind and heart, and look inside for the so-called Inner Self, meditate, or pray, pray deeply. Then we will be able to communicate with our spiritual nature within, and then these powers will gradually come back to us. Many scientists have proven that meditation is the best way to enhance our creativity and many other abilities. Why is that? It’s because when we meditate, our mind will gradually calm down. Only when we are in tranquility, can we recall and retrieve our lost abilities. Even if we have the power, we still can’t use it if we are too busy and distracted. Actually, we don’t even know that we have it. Just like sometimes, we are wearing the glasses right before our eyes, but we still look for them everywhere. Or, we have money in the bank, but we are too busy to know how much until we withdraw money. To withdraw money, we need to make time or talk to the staff in the bank. Otherwise, it’s useless to have money when we are too busy. After a busy day, we are tired and want to sleep.
However, if we can have a very deep sleep, it’s also like entering samadhi and our abilities will recover somewhat slowly. But meditation is the best and fastest. When we meditate, it’s not just about spiritual practice. When we are in tranquility, the spiritual energy within will nurture our body. Scientists have proof. They have found proof that the nervous system in different areas of our brain are related to certain functions. When we meditate, the nerves responsible for creativity will develop. For instance, the famous scientist Einstein, they found that the nerves in his left and right brains are perfectly connected. That’s why he was so smart and discovered many things. Many factories and big companies know that meditation is an important way for people to develop creativity.
You all already know that in Japan, they send their workers to temples to practice Zen. It’s actually the same in America. In the 1980s, Walt Disney… You know Disneyland, right? The company invited people to teach meditation to their employees so that they can have more creativity. In the next decade, they used that method to meditate. Their inner creativity developed with meditation. That’s why they were able to produce the best and famous movies within a decade. Also in Google. We all like Google, right? A Chinese software engineer started to teach meditation to his coworkers. His coworkers then told him that they could concentrate better and contribute more in their work. This emerging program became very famous and popular in the Google company. So they became an independent department of the Google company. Later they are able to help other organizations to meditate.
Meditating to develop one’s creativity is not a secret. Nothing mysterious. Nowadays, everyone knows that meditation helps us in many aspects, especially in creativity. Before I started to practice, I had no idea how to draw. I never designed anything, such as the Celestial Jewelry I wear and clothes, I knew nothing. I couldn’t even utter one or two sentences. Now I can talk for many hours and create many things. It’s also because of practicing meditation. I can assure you with my own experience.
