Raise any finger, utter any sound, <strong>and</strong>, connected with<br />

the entity of the truth, these are very powerful. Where<br />

they are found in Buddhism, they are quite unique. Also<br />

they are quite different from the magic of outsiders.<br />

Mr Chen said, "Look!" Raising one finger with<br />

deliberation he told us:<br />

One finger like this may cause enlightenment. One<br />

voice also may give enlightenment, like this: "hi!"<br />

And the yogi uttered an abrupt <strong>and</strong> penetrating<br />

noise which at the right time <strong>and</strong> place might surely<br />

shake one into an Enlightened state. He continued:<br />

One word can send a ghost to the Pure L<strong>and</strong>. One laugh<br />

of our mother Tara as she sat in Sarvarthasiddha<br />

Bodhisattva's head-dress before his Enlightenment, <strong>and</strong><br />

all demons were subdued for him.<br />
