 Possessed by a Snake Entity

 I have a disciple who grows grapes in the hills, and one day he discovered that a python had been living in his vineyard. He then killed the python with his axe.

 Then he had a dream where he dreamed the python slipped into his stomach. Since he had that dream, he had been ill. His face was whitish green, and he remained quiet. He would often stick out his tongue and when his illness became more severe, he was seen crying and screaming, and he liked to lie on the floor and move like a snake. Whenever he was hungry, his appetite was so big he could finish a big pot of food.

 Eventually, his family was left with no choice and sent him to a mental hospital.

 His family made a vow before the shrine, “Recite the True Buddha Sutra a thousand times, and the High King Sutra a thousand times.”

 During my spiritual travels in my samadhi, I saw this disciple resting in the mental hospital and knew immediately he was possessed by a serpent spirit.

 This python was particularly fond of moles. So I got a cage filled with many moles and appeared before my disciple. The snake spirit was thrilled with joy when it saw that many moles, and crawled out from the disciple’s mouth to prey on these moles.

 My cage was constructed with two trap doors; one for entrance, and one for exit. When the snake spirit entered through the front door, the moles escaped through the back door and dispersed. I was alert, and quickly shut the back door after all the moles had escaped, and immediately shut the front trap door. The cage was left only with the snake spirit.

 I took the cage and returned to Leaf Lake, traveling along with the wind.

 I emerged from my samadhi, and everything seemed like a dream. There was no cage, no snake spirit, and no moles. There was nothing at all.

 Yet to my knowledge, the disciple in the mental institution suddenly recovered. His daily routine became normal; his eyes and facial expression showed all the signs of a normal person. He no longer needed to take medication, and he stopped slithering on the floor. He no longer stuck out his tongue, and he ate like any normal human being. Soon, he was discharged from the institution.

 His family felt that the True Buddha Sutra and the High King Sutra are indeed responsive and effective. Once you complete a thousand recitations, all heavy karma is eradicated, and one is liberated from the suffering of birth and death, and freed from numerous kinds of suffering.

 Wonderful! Wonderful!
