To reach Ming Xin Jian Xing, the following four sacred phrases are the process one must follow:
Jing Ding Hui Ming
Jing zhong Sheng Ding
Ding Zhong Sheng Hui
Hui Zhong Sheng Ming
Jing ding Hui Ming. Jing" means quiet. "Ding" means stillness. "Hui"means intelligence. "Ming means enlightenment. ling ding hui ming" (pronounced jing ding hway ming) means quiet, still, intelligent, enlightened.
These are the four steps to reach enlightenment.
The first step is quietness. The best way to achieve quietness is to meditate and chant Jin Dan Da Tao Xiu Lian. Put your mind on your Jin Dan. To chant Jin Dan Da Tao Xiu Lian is to invoke jing qi shen xu dao of Heaven, Mother Earth, humanity, and wan wu, including countless planets, stars, and galaxies, and all universes. Jin Dan Da Tao Xiu Lian will help you go into quietness very quickly to start forming your Jin Dan.
To chant Jin Dan Da Tao Xiu Lian is to use one thought to replace all other thoughts. Beginners sometimes say that they cannot concentrate or meditate. The root cause for most of these blockages is bad karma. Dark souls come to these people and block them from meditating. If you are in this situation, use your mind to chant Jin Dan Da Tao as much as possible. The more you chant, the more quietness will come to you. Remember to focus only on the Jin Dan. The golden light ball is forming in your lower abdomen.
If any thought comes, do not be upset. Continue to chant. The thoughts will decrease more and more. When you do this, yang qi will ascend in your body and yin qi will descend in your body. Yin yang balance will happen by itself.
The second step to reach enlightenment is given in the next phrase:
Jing Zhong Sheng Ding. "Jing zhong" means inside quietness. "Sheng" means create. "Ding"means stillness. "Jing zhong sheng ding" (pronounced Ding jawng shung ding) means stillness ones from quietness.
Stillness is going into the emptiness condition. For example, when you practice Jin Dan Da Tao Xiu Lian, you suddenly do not know where you are. Your consciousness is empty. You do not have a single thought anymore. At that moment, you have gone into stillness. That is a very important step. The more you practice, the more time you will spend in stillness. That is a vital sign of progress for your Tao Xiu Lian practice.
The third step to reach enlightenment is described by the next phrase:
Ding Zhong Sheng Hui. "Ding zhong" means inside stillness. "Sheng" means creates. "Hui" means intelligence. "Ding zhong sheng hui" (pronounced ding jawng shung hway) means intelligence comes from stillness.
When you go into the stillness or emptiness condition, your Shi Shen is no longer guiding you. Your Yuan Shen is on duty. Your Yuan Shen is Tao. Therefore, in that stillness condition, your Yuan Shen is teaching your Shi Shen. You will gain Tao wisdom, which is the highest wisdom. This is how intelligence comes from stillness.
The fourth step to reach enlightenment is:
Hui Zhong Shen Ming. "Hui zhong" means inside intelligence. "Sheng" means create. "Ming" means enlightenment. "Hui zhong sheng ming" (pronounced hway jawng shung ming) means enlightenment comes from intelligence.
As I just explained, when your reach stillness, your Yuan Shen starts to guide you and to deliver Tao wisdom. You have received wisdom from your Shi Shen, but your Shi Shen realizes It does not know enough, and that is has to Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen is your spiritual father.
This will happen as you continue the Jin Dan Da Tao practice. One day your Shi Shen will receive an "aha!" moment. Your Shi Shen will realize and recognize the wisdom and the power of Yuan Shen. Then your Shi Shen will decide that it has to learn from Yuan Shen. Your Shi Shen will want Yuan Shen to guide its life.
At that moment, you will have reached ming xin jian xing. To reach ming xin jian xing means that your Yuan Shen is formally on duty to be the boss of your soul, heart, mind, and body. At that moment, you could experience complete emptiness inside and outside of your body. The inside and outside of your body join as one. This emptiness could create light. You could feel or, for those whose Third Eye is open, see light shining both inside and outside of your body.
