I am not here to condemn or to judge any of you at all. You have the situation, you have the position, you have a circumstance in which you have to be like this, be like that. You cannot always decide by yourself or for yourself, but you are influenced by society, good or bad. And sometimes you make a decision that you regret, such as an abortion. […] To make such a decision is not good at all. You will regret it all your life. But I have a solution. To redeem yourself of this guilty feeling or of the decision you made that you regret, just do the opposite from now on. […] Do what we can to erase the bad memories, guilty feeling, and the bad mistakes. Make a better future from now on. […]
Now, in some of the Buddhism sects, they were saying that the female body is defiled and you cannot become a Buddha. But that is just general talk. The Buddhas can be anything. Why would the Buddha always be male? […] Because, actually, I myself also have been Quan Yin Bodhisattva, for example, many times. And many times, I was then a woman, in a woman’s form – not always being worshipped or understood, sometimes quietly also. And we have many women Buddhas also. In my group, there were at least two residents, nuns, who had reached Buddhahood. They passed away already. And we have their photographs in our New Land Ashram, so some people can have that, can see it, to remind themselves that women can also become Buddha if you have the right method of practicing spiritually.
