Let me quote you a letter to prove my point:
Dear Grandmaster, how are you?
I took part in the September ritual conducted by you in New York. I started to cultivate the guru yoga and four basic rituals thereafter. Whenever I chanted the hundred words bright mantra, I saw Grandmaster’s descendence(without the Five Buddha Crown).
It started from September 9th. You used rosary beads, vajra, and head to touch my head. Once I was thoroughly burned.

To tell the truth, a person who has attained ”emptiness” is the most perfect one. His light of wisdom will fill the world.
From the ”emptiness”, he can appear to succour other beings. His pure and great wisdom will be unrivalled in this world.
The secrets of manifesting in another body are:
1. Able to use the wind yoga freely.
2. Able to separate the life element with self (i.e. soul-travelling)
3. Able to cultivate the seed of crescent moon in the air.
4. Able to solidify the life element with seed.
5. Able to form the manifested body.
6. Able to master the truth of emptiness and all other dharma.

Let me quote you a true case:
A rich disciple by the name of Chan Xin Jin lives in Taipei.
He had a dinner appointment at a posh restaurant.
From the corridor of the restaurant, he took a glance at one of the suite which happened to be open. He saw Living Buddha Lian Shen eating and drinking in the suite. The Grandmaster was accompanied by eight young and beautiful girls. All kinds of foods and drinks were served, it was a sumptuous meal.
Out of curiosity, Chan stopped and took a closer look. These girls were rare beauties. They poured wines and selected foods for the Grandmaster. They were really attentive. One of them even massaged the Grandmaster.
”Lian Hua Xin Jin, come in please!” called Grandmaster when he saw him.
He was shocked that Grandmaster knew him.
Grandmaster said: ”Come in and join me”.
He quickly answered, ”I am glad to do that”.
After a few round of wines, Xin Jin started to think: ”When did the Grandmaster return to Taiwan? I did not hear the news of his return. There was no ritual at Taiwan’s Lei Tsang Temple anyway.”
Grandmaster seemed to know his thought.
”I can come and go any time I like, ha ha”
Xin Jin asked: ”Who are these girls?”
”The eight goddesses from the heaven.”
These girls immediately continued ”We are the eight goddesses from the purple glow palace”.
Xin Jin marvelled at the wines he drank. It tasted like heavenly juice. Even the tea he sipped was so sweet and difficult to name.
The eight girls were so beautiful and beyond description. They took turns to ask him to bottom up. With so many beautiful girls and nice music, he was really having a good time, and he was feeling tipsy.
Grandmaster told him ”Your friends are waiting for you next door, go and join them, we shall meet again!”.

Lian Hua Xin Jin did not quite believe his encounter. Later on, he went back to the same suite. Nobody was there. The table was very clean and tidy. He asked the owner whether the suite was booked that night for dinner. The answer was negative.
But he did drink the wines and tea, what about the eight beauties? Where is the Grandmaster?
He made a long distance call to Seattle. A servant told him Living Buddha Lian Shen was writing his article at the True Buddha Tantric Garden. He did not return to Taiwan, nor Taipei. They were very sure about it.
”Yesterday he was in Taipei, and today he is in the States. Why must he return so fast?”
Answered, ”Never”.
”Beautiful girls and wines”
Answered, ”Out of your mind”.
When Lian Hua Xin Jin told others his adventure, everybody was puzzled and could not find an answer. Some of them said Xin Jin must have seen ghosts, and others said he was either drunk or made-up the whole story.
