Where Does a Person's Charisma Originate From?

Question: Why is it that when a person is exceptionally tranquil and peaceful, those around them also quickly become calm and feel comfortable? This person doesn't seem particularly remarkable in any obvious way, yet possesses a certain infectious quality. Why is this?

Answer: An individual with a tranquil mind possesses magnetic attraction and blessing power; their magnetic field is favorable, hence their influence is positive. Such a person emits a relatively bright and gentle light. Although those nearby cannot see it, they absorb this pure and serene light, causing their own mental state to become joyful, comfortable, and peaceful, and their body to become pure and healthy.

Ghosts and spirits with clairvoyance can discern a person's cultivation and virtue by observing the light emitted from their physical body. They naturally respect and revere those of good virtue, while looking down upon or even bullying those lacking in moral cultivation. Celestial beings and great Bodhisattvas with spiritual powers can further perceive a person's level of spiritual practice from the light emanating from their appearance.
