Subtitles:
The worldly people call him Gold Mountain Living Buddha. The deeds of his entire life is like the legend of JiGong (Lord of charity). Indeed, he has magical ability. No one knows his true fruition. He looks like insane and foolish. Rarely took bath in his life. He wore a long coat with a set of small pants in the entire life, and nothing else. That is the only clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. He is not cold in the winter. He is not hot in the summer. How wonderful is it? With such a set of clothes, he never washed his clothes throughout the year. Rarely took a bath, but his body emitted aroma. The collar of the clothes has grease, the collar is black. Smell it, it has the fragrance of lotus flowers, and also it's healing. If there is something wrong with you, smell more, the disease will be gone.

People called him a living buddha. He isn't the living buddha of Tibet. He is an exoteric buddhist, a monk in Gold Mountain Monastery. He didn't get along with the public at Gold Mt Temple. So he wandered around for years, living in no fixed place. But he returned to the Gold Mt Temple once a year. There is a big dharma assembly in Gold Mt Temple. He joined that each year. This person is really clear and pure in heart, so he can realize. His body is undefiled, so he did not need to take a bath. His clothes looked dirty but smelt fragrant.
Although he rarely bathed, when someone was sick and came to him. He rubbed his body with hands, making pills from dirt for the patients. After the patients ate it, their diseases were cured. People having eaten it said it's not bad, and it's delicious. This is true, not fake.
I never met him. When I was young in Taiwan. The venerable Monk Optimist told me that he had seen him before, and twice.

Once he seems to have lived with him for three months. Another time, he lived with him one month. He lived with him 4 months in total, knowing him very well. “He really has magical ability,” he said. He knew what people were thinking. This is the ability to read the thoughts of others. We are here talking about him: “We haven't met the Living Buddha for a long time. Where is he now?” He then came in the door. What is this? The magical ability of flight. He knew everything. A person's misfortune and good fortune. You go ask him, he would tell you, what he said is completely true.
Therefore, that is why it is so important to have a clear mind. That is what scientists are saying today: Control things with mind. Master Wondrous Virtue (Gold Mt. Living Buddha) has achieved that. His heart is definitely free of greed, anger, obsession, arrogance, and distrust. He definitely has no body views or side views such delusions. So, he manifested in a chaotic world.

Master Optimist wrote the stories of Gold Mountain Living Buddha. Our students have found this book. We will print this booklet as soon as possible to offer to the public.
You see the legend of Gold Mt Living Buddha. There is nothing else, it's just completely let go. Nowadays, people are mostly greedy for money. Gold Mt Living Buddha seems to have been insulated from money all his life. People offered him money. If that's a coin, made of copper. After he got it, he ate it. If he was given cash, he crushed it into a ball and ate it too. He would not get sick, and he was able to digest. That is unimaginable. It's nothing else, only completely let go.
He was scruffy all his life. Rarely washed clothes or bathed. That's so unrestrained and so casual. Many people believed in him and regarded him as a living buddha. He didn't have a regular daily life. He didn't have regular meals either. He was with him.

Once, he saw him ate 19 bowls of rice and a bowl of noodle. He never refused the offering from the public. People treated him a meal. This one filled a bowl of rice for him. That one also filled a bowl for him. He ate them all. Back then, Master Optimist happened to be along with him, telling those devotees not to harm him anymore. Look, can he hold it up?
He turned around and told Master Optimist: “No increase, no decrease.” Master Optimist heard that, and he was dumbstruck. He was actually confused and in a maze. Didn't expect he said this phrase, No increase, no decrease. Namely, eating and not eating are the same. If not give him food to eat for 10 days, he is just fine.
He is such a person with a mind pure, undefiled, equal, and awakened. He has completely achieved the stura's title. He usually chanted a buddh'a name for practice. He adds 2 words in front of the buddha name he chanted. Who's chanting Namo Amitabha Budha ah? Follow by an ah. Who's chanting Namo Amitabha Budha ah?
