I only try to report exactly what I've learned directly from a living Enlightened Being - I'm not claiming qualification to see and teach the Truth. I've been studying this for a while, so I get better and better at recognizing people's questions when I encounter the particular cases, but always make sure to tell them that this is what I learned from the master. Monks in today's world never wanted to learn from a living Buddha, because he never lets people tell even a little lie in front of him. Instead, the monks stay with the dead Buddha because he never scolds them and just smiles..

So, about the period that an Enlightened Being comes to the world, there are a couple things you need to know.

The first thing is that an Enlightened being only comes to the world in certain circumstances. The last one we know about is Gautama Buddha. There was no one among the religious practitioners of his day who knew the correct teaching and right way to attain Enlightenment. They all had quite varied practices and did some strange stuff. Because nobody knew, that was why he had to come teach and search on foot for 45 years for someone wanted to listen to him.

Gautama Buddha, after he taught, said that his teaching would stay and brighten the world for about a thousand years. The period after that thousand years is when his teaching begins to disappear. And finally, the third 'ending' period after that is when his teaching has disappeared completely. It's only when Buddha's teaching has disappeared that an Enlightened being comes to the world again to reveal the truth.

How did you realize that your master was a living Enlightened Being? can you give the specific questions and answers that you used to recognize him as such?
Many of my questions were simply answered outright in his teachings

* What is truth?

* What is happiness and what is peace? How to get them?

* What is Enlightenment?

* How to recognize an Enlightened being?

* What is nirvana?

* What is eternal life and how to get it? How to save one's life? How to save the world?

* What is destiny?

* What is reality?

* What is life and how does it work?

* What is good teaching and what is bad teaching?

* How to tell the future? How to see the present? How to derive correct information from records of the past?

* How does the energy in the human body work and by what details in what process does a consciousness exist and drive a human body?

* What does the term god mean and what's the relationship (if any) between gods and human beings?

* What is gravity, how is it formed/generated? What is the relationship between gravity and other fields? What is space-time made out of?

* How did the third eye form?

* How to live well?

* What is leadership?

I actually had lots of questions, and it's not only his answers that convinced me but his dedication despite the hardships he endured carrying out his mission
