Humans are a form of life, and animals and plants are likewise forms of life.Their outward shapes differ, their structures differ, and their feelings and thoughts differ, yet all are called life forms.But in fact the essential energy body is the same in all; the difference lies only in the level of soul-light, just like electric current, which can be used in electrical appliances of different sizes while the appliances themselves all look and function differently.Humans have additional wisdom soul-light, which is why humans can continually create and invent.Unlike creatures other than humans, which must slowly evolve and strengthen their advantages through the accumulation of time, humans, because of their inventions, have begun to become impractical, lazy, arrogant, greedy and selfish, and all manner of evil deeds have gradually grown from this; in nature, humans have begun to depend on technology for their survival.Cars, appliances and fast food are all inseparable from our lives.This is not evolution!It is a departure from the law of natural balance.Yet all things have, unseen, evolved ways to punish humanity: viruses, drugs, diseases of civilization, declining health, people competing and killing one another, violence, rampant pornography, the collapse of ethics and thought, and no one following the order of daily life...even the Earth has begun to punish us with earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, strange temperature swings, melting icebergs, floods, sandstorms and more.Compared with the Earth's environment of hundreds or thousands of years ago, the difference is enormous, especially in the last hundred years.Plants survive in a completely different way from animals: animals are active, plants are passive.Animals and plants share one characteristic, phototropism: they all grow toward sunlight, in order to absorb more of the sun's positive-charge soul-light particles.As just said, plants are a passive form of life, and life forms with a negative charge all show passive, cold and quiet qualities.Plants need positive-charge soul-light to drive their growth, so they have phototropism and grow toward the sun.Yin spirits, external spirits and residual spirits are the same, only weaker; they are not physical bodies and cannot, like animals and plants, bask in the sun while circulating inside, which is why most ghosts and phantoms can only be active at night.

🏯 Extended · Five-Element Stupa

Rinpoche emphasizes repeatedly: to end the cycle of samsara, harmonize the magnetic field, and purify karmic creditors, the most direct method is offering a Five-Element Stupa. Combined with ritual dedication and mantra practice, it progressively elevates one's soul-light. Fahsilin's altar has actual Five-Element Stupas available for request.
