阴阳眼

http://www.radio1003.com/pod-details/event_id/496
i listen to this interesting radio interview of this lady who had 阴阳眼 (Yin Yang Eyes) which serve as a good info of clearly some misunderstanding of ghosts/spirit realm for Buddhists.
spirits are not only avaliable at night/7thmonth, they can also be avaliable in the day time.
they don't float like in the movie, they walk similarily like human, although they are light, she did saw one that flew from a tree to another tree.
the look of ghosts are retain after their death. i.e. those who die in bed due to illness, and reborn in ghost realm, they will retain the look. and for those who die in car accident/murdered, they will also be pretty bloody.
in Buddhism, we say human are 30% scare of ghosts, but ghosts are 70% more afraid of human, other than those who have resentment toward certain ppl.
it also teach us not to be attach/greedy, etc etc. greed is the main cause in reborning in ghost realm. non believer might think that there's no such thing as ghosts, but we buddhists do believe they exist.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting. May I know this programme is on which day and at what time ?

How does buddhism deal with people with Ying Yang eyes?
-
I have a campmate during my army days, who also have ying yang eyes. Some times out of the blue as during normal routines, he would start to swear and later mentioned that he saw "dirty things". it seem so normal that I never got to enquire him about those things.
My coy has the highest of spirit mediums, you can almost attend one every other night in the barracks during BMT !
-
Why are the ghost 70% more afraid of human? And what do they do? Can they go back to the house they once live in? Where do they go if they can't? Do they spend the night out roaming? Do they talk? Do they walk in groups?
I still got a lot of questions.

Since My ID got discovered by AEN.

i have to hear what they say and see if it tally with the Buddhist scripture, as we might not know if they are lying or not. i think some Masters also got this spiritural power.

Sleep deprivation may explain in some cases, some sighting rumours may be out of boredom. Been walking same route doing guard duty, never seen any. Not even when walking around Sg. Gedong.
Closest I've encountered was a strong honeydewed-like fragrance, when I was camping alone at a waterfall in Gunong Jerai. Not threatening though.

i think it's the yin and yang energy they emiting. Human more yang, they are more yin. so if a person at some point, his/her chi become weak, they can harm you. Buddhas and bodhisattvas' emit even more powerful lights.What they do? Too vast to say. Mostly to do with attachment when they are human and suffering from their karma.
Can they go back to the house they once live in? If there's attachment to the house, yes.
Where do they go if they can't? They can, and they can also go anywhere. Ghost can pass thru human walls, but cannot pass thru ghost wall. We the other way around.
Do they spend the night out roaming? Do they talk? Do they walk in groups? yes and no, depends on their attachment.

My church gt convert who lost his ying yang eyes after converting. How do u explain that?
-
Stardust.
Similarly there are Christians whom are sick and went for numerous of miracle and healing rallies but to no avail. Only when they started recited the mantra of the Medicine Buddha, the recovered from all those sickness which your so called God did not heal.
I don't suggest that we compare using such low end comparisons instead we should judge objectively on indiviual and supposed in circumstances of someone "losing" the yin-yang eyes maybe due to his/her karmic conditions.
Whether one looses sight or gains sight of ghostly beings, this should not be the critirea to judge one's faith, instead the Buddha says "He who sees the Dharma sees the Buddha" .
I sincerely believe that your bible did not teach something like he who looses the sight of yin yang? sees Christ?.
May you be well & happy. -

We christians believed in fallen angle(the devil),he's responsible for some of the healing in other religion.All religion gt healing. There must be some is from God some is from devil.
Cos all ppl called to different things for healing. We christians jesus, buddhsit buddha Taoist dieties etc
Some are devil some is from true God. Cant all be all healing from God.
My frenz mom cancer healed by taoist dieties too.
I heard ppl healed from hindu gods too.
-
My Master healed many many cancer patients last time until he became famous and one day a whole bus full of cancer patients came for his blessings.
My Taiwanese teacher (my master's successor) is also well known for healing and is known to have like 80% success rate at healing.
Healing is pretty common in many religions.

Miracles
Christians claim that miracles are sometimes performed in God's name and that the fact that this happens proves that God exists. This is an appealing argument until it is looked at a little more closely.
While Christians are quick to claim that because of their prayers the blind could see, the deaf could hear and crooked limbs were straightened, they are very slow in producing evidence to back up their claims. In fact, some Christians are so anxious to prove that miracles have occurred at their prayer meetings that the truth often gets lost in a flood of wild claims, extravagant boasts, and sometimes even conscious lies.
It is true that things which are unusual and difficult to explain do sometimes happen during religious events - but not just for Christians. Hindus, Muslims, Taoists, etc. all claim that their God or gods sometimes perform miracles. Christianity certainly does not have a monopoly on miracles. So, if miracles performed in God's name prove the existence of the Christian God, then miracles performed in the name of numerous other gods must likewise prove that they too exist.
Christians may try to overcome this fact by claiming that, when miracles occur in other religions, they are done through the power of the Devil. Perhaps the best way to counter this claim is to quote the Bible. When Jesus healed the sick, his enemies accused him of doing this through the power of the Devil. He answered that healing the sick results in good and if the Devil went around doing good he would destroy himself (Mk 3:22-26). Therefore the same could be said for the miracles performed by Hindus, Jews or Sikhs. If these miracles result in good, how can they be the work of the Devil?

yes that's y some are from satan. All religions are either false or only one true religion.Since all religions contradict one another.
Since many religions gt healing,Some is from God and some are from devils.
That's my personal belief.

By telling them to take refuge and do proper practice. That channel will close.
