**Can a Buddhist monk or a yogi be a Holy Spirit?**
As far as I understand, they're masters in doing deep breathing and meditation.
For me, there are only a few monks/nuns who have mastered the technique above. Unfortunately, I cannot find any Christians, pastors, or priests who know anything about it, but normally they will respond by citing [*Sola Fide*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sola_fide) (faith alone) or with the advice to just pray everyday so eventually the skill will be awakened by itself. Not even psychologists, psychiatrists, or regular medical doctors know about it, or they only have very basic knowledge.
A few high level monks I *did* find meet all 11 personal characteristics of the Holy Spirit listed in [this article](https://get.tithe.ly/blog/characteristics-of-the-holy-spirit) , placing a nice bow on this topic:
1. He’s referred to as a Person (John 6:63; 14:26; Rom. 8:11, 16, 26; 1 John 5:6).
1. He speaks (2 Sam. 23:2; Acts 1:16; 8:29; 10:19; 11:12; 13:2; 21:11; 28:25–26; 1 Tim. 4:1; Heb. 3:7–8; Rev. 2:7; 14:13; 22:17).
1. He witnesses (John 15:26).
1. He searches (1 Cor. 2:11).
1. He can be grieved (Isa. 63:10; Eph. 4:30).
1. He loves (Rom. 15:30).
1. He has a mind (Rom. 8:27).
1. He has intelligence (1 Cor. 2:10–11).
1. He can be tested (Acts 5:9).
1. He can be resisted (Acts 7:5).
1. He has a will (1 Cor. 2:11; 12:7–11).
**Can I get their advice and learn their technique of deep breathing and meditation, providing I do them under the conditions below?**
1. The technique is not related to religion but rather to science or logic.
2. I am not required to worship any form of Idol or Gods (only the Mahayana version of Buddhism may have a theology of worship, but the original Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, didn't mention anything about worshiping).
3. I am not being invited or forced into Buddhism.
**They also don't try to convert me, but instead**:
1. They praise and respect Christianity.
2. They wish me well in Christianity and allow me to share the Gospel in the Monastery.
3. They offer help whenever there is a need, such as co-operating in doing charity work.
4. Buddhism members are willing to join my cell group to learn about or even to one day (soon?) join Christianity.
5. Buddhism members are willing to cooperate in a mission filled with Sharing the Gospel activities when my church needs additional man-power.
