Sometimes when we meditate, we perceive beautiful children leaving us one by one.  They’re our bad qualities.  Don’t think that you’re perceiving immortal children and feel reluctant to leave them.  Sometimes they’ll apologize and then say, “Good-by,” or “Your place is too hot.  I can’t stand it! I have to leave.” Then you’ll know that they’re ghosts.  They look very beautiful and delicate.  Sometimes when you hear children shouting or crying, it’s them, too.  There’re about six of them.  Do you remember the statue of Maitreya Budda?  There are six children playing on His body; one child pokes here and there and one pulls here and there.  This represents an inner realm.  This isn’t fun, and doesn’t mean that Maitreya Budda likes children.  No. No. If we don’t have the Holy Names, we can’t protect ourselves and we’ll be contaminated by them.
