Friends:
What are
the Effects of the 4 Feet of Spiritual Force?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
When a Bhikkhu develops The
4 Feet of Force
quite enriched with
concentrated desire,
concentrated energy,
concentrated thought
&
concentrated investigation
constructed by effort thinking: In this
way will my desire, energy, thinking and investigating neither be too
slack nor too tense, and it will neither be constricted internally nor
distracted externally, then he dwells experiencing both what is in
front & what is behind, so above, so also below, so by day, so also at
night! Thus, with a mind that is all open & unrestricted, he develops
the unique and dazzling bright mind pervaded by own luminosity...
When the 4 feet of suprahuman force have been developed, refined
and cultivated in exactly this way, the Bhikkhu possesses the various
kinds of suprahuman force: having been one, he becomes many; having
been many, he becomes one; he appears & he vanishes; he goes fully
unhindered through a wall, through a barricade, through a mountain
as though through open space; he dives in and out of the earth at if
it were water; seated cross-legged, he travels in space like a bird,
he walks on water without sinking as though it were solid earth;
with his hand he touches and strokes the moon and sun so powerful
and mighty; he masters the body as far as the Brahma world...
