"Only when the body is changed can enlightenment be attained."

Did the bodies of Buddha and enlightened beings look like ours? I can say with certainty that there is no Buddha or enlightened beings with the same body as ours. To become a Buddha, we need to change the structure of our body.

"To understand a Buddha, you must become a Buddha. To understand a sage, you must become a sage. To understand a divine being, you must become a divine being. To achieve enlightenment, you must change the structure of your body. We can confidently say that our body structure can be changed through the practice of Susinodo(International Science Meditation Center), which I and my disciples have personally experienced."

It is said that Buddha's body has 32 differences from that of ordinary people, which are called '32 marks'. Understanding this will help us understand the differences between Buddha's body and ours. Of course, Buddha was not born with these differences, but they developed over time through his practices. Do you know where the most distinct change occurred in Buddha's body? It was in his genitals, which became a symbol of enlightenment. The genitals of Buddha and enlightened beings are said to be like horse and turtle's genitals, respectively.

It is said that the genitals of both Buddhas and immortals are like those of horses and look like a turtle's neck. In other words, the meaning of "maumjangsang" (馬陰藏相) is not that the genitals are as large as those of horses, but rather that the genitals of horses are indented like a turtle neck. In Taoism, this is called "guchukbulgeo" (龜縮不鉅), meaning that the genitals are shaped like a turtle's neck.

Anyway, when one becomes a Buddha or enlightened being, their penis shrinks like a worm. Why does this happen? Please contemplate deeply as the answer will be revealed in the final chapter of this book."
