27 November 2010 - GM's Secret Army
Today, GM said he will enter our dreams & teach us.
This is assurance enough to all that when you are ready, GM will come teach you where ever you are.
Who knows you might be the one that GM has been teaching & when he needs you, he will sure look for you.
We are all his Secret Army, always ready to go into service, correct? Haha.
We all know that All Buddhas & Bodhisattvas & their affiliates are INFINITELY WISE & COMPASSIONATE.
We are all ONE in doing our utmost for all sentient beings. This we keep constantly in mind & live happily.
Just watch & listen to GM with your heart. You find life is truly very interesting & how pointless it is to vie for things that will not last. Do not go for the obvious but look deeper.
Buddha teaches Non Attachment & etc. lets all try & use them when listening & watching GM's spreading Dharma.
I always enjoyed myself fully when watching GM's speeches. Hope you all do too.

25 November 2010 - It's karma again
The King of XX has many offspring. They all vie for the Throne.
Everyday the King has to ward off many assassination attempts from some of these offspring.
The wise & compassionate King finally appoints the most aggressive one amongst them Crown Prince, which is heir to the throne.
Little did the Heir Apparent knows that from that day on, he the Heir Apparent, becomes the target of various assassination plot. Gasping his last breath, the Heir Apparent finally realized that what he did to his sire, returns to him many fold.
All that Glitters is Not Gold, How often have you heard that told?

27 November 2010 - Eventful Day
1. Good news. We have settled the printing of bilingual cultivation booklet for Vajrasattva & True Buddha Repentance & the price is well within our budget. Should be ready to share with all sometime before Chinese New Year. Our heartfelt thanks to Grand Master, Our beloved Root Guru, for guiding us all the way.
2. Yet another altar where all Deities had left. My humble suggestion to all - please do not accept statues from others when you don't know the source they come from. In fact, just one of GM is enough.
The more you have the more complicating it becomes.
3. Please listen to GM's speech again & again. Then I suggest you chant Heart Sutra.
4. After hearing GM's speech, the words of Cantopop song "Shanghai Beach" 上海滩 by Frances Yip keep floating around me. Turbulence, unrest, changes, heightened emotions, joy, success, undercurrent, ..... Truly interesting. Haha!
5. Glad to hear that the shelved Indonesian event will materialize. Please take a minute to say THANK YOU to our Root Guru. It cost him much.
6. Everything comes with a Price. One has to give up something of similar or higher value in exchange for something one need.
Much to ponder? Relax & let things flow.

22 November 2010 - The Lion's Secret Army
GM's Dharma Speech.
4 September 2010 - Seattle.
GM said what the Lion does, rabbits should not mimic.
When the Lion leaps among cliff peaks, Rabbits should not follow else it will be Fatal for them.
GM also said he will go to Indonesia for a Kalachakra Ceremony & he will also teach Qunta (Bright Dots) in detail. The last update was because of certain administrative disagreement, this event is indefinitely postponed or in other words, SHELVED.
17 October 2010 - Sydney.
GM renewed his affirmation for the Indonesian Ceremony & the teachings of Qunta cultivation.
20 November 2010 - Taiwan.
Listen carefully & repeatedly to this speech especially the opening part.
Do you agree that the Lion Has Awakened?
Monks & nuns do not want to be involve in daily administration & financial issues. GM said he solely wants to spread Dharma & help all sentient beings as best as he could.
GM also urges those not ordinated members of TBS or those with 'hair' to not order & control the monks & nuns but treat them with utmost respect as in Buddist ordinance. These were repeated many times last year in Seattle during Saturday & Sunday group cultivation from October.
Most have forgottten that our GM is a Living Buddha. Whatever we do, he knows.
I noticed bodyguards in Melbourne, I wondered who so worried for GM to hire them.
How can one harm a Living Buddha?
Buddha & GM teach us to make others happy even to the detriment of self.
The current scenario seems to leave the Lion with no choice but to Roar & act.
Read the 'Sword of the Yogi' if possible again. Retrack GM's tour of Taiwan, Hongkong & etc. What he did most was "huan jing fa" (cleansing or purify method). To save those disciples that had dropped into the 3 Lower Realms.
GM liken the current scene as similar to the army & then he said after appointing new vajra masters & tutor that there is more because he is currently watching many. How big is this secret 'army'?
Last year in Seattle, he said in Rainbow Temple that the Universe is full of Lianhua Tongzi. Many experienced GM touching their heads Chinese New Year Eve at approximately the same time.
GM also talked about Star-Light Clone Body which enable him to be many places at one time.
Remember GM appoints Vajra master Lian Dian? He spends the past 2 decades teaching her somewhere.
When we are ready to learn, GM will come & teach us. There's no need to be in his physical presence.
Please read the Sword of the Yogi & Foot Prints on the Seashore. GM said many are accumulating 'territories' to make themselves 'Kings'. He is trying to tell them to stop doing such futile things.
The requirements to be a True Yogi all listed in Sword of Yogi. Which is good for us to measure ourselves frequently.
Haha! Have I succeeded in talking you, the reader, to read the above 2 books by GM?
That is if you haven't done so already. But worth reading again?

24 November 2010 - Universal Power
Haha! It is 4.08am & I am full of energy & wide awake!
Why? Universal Power!
I led True Buddha Repentance session last night from 8pm.
Every time I do True Buddha Repentance or some other repentance prayers, I am so charged that I can't sleep till well after 9am the next morning.
Another one is chanting High King Avalokitesvara Sutra more than 20 times a day at one go.
There are more such 'charger' which GM has given to us.
The similar factor is invoking the Buddhas; Bodhisattvas; Dharma Protectors;.....to empower us with 'Light' (form of energy) & at the same time cleanse our negative karma leaving us crystal-clear & shining. The by-product being Energy that keeps us vitalize.
Recently I shared in this blogspot video of 12 October 2010 cultivation & it consisted of origin of Light, characteristic of Light, drawing & using this Light.
Light energy is Power we can draw from the Universe as taught by GM.
It is not like what we watch from Star Wars, whereby AA beams a ray of white light at his opponent & opponent in turn 'returns fire' with red light & etc.
Haha. Hope you enjoyed yourself reading this article.
Remember the Buddhas & etc are Compassionate & Wise in nature & will not harm. So Universal Power is not to be used to harm or in other words cause Unhappiness.
Buddha seeks path to Happiness for all. Thus, the path to enlightenment is to follow Buddha's path & make all happy.
Let us all fall in-step with GM & discover the Universe!

23 November 2010 - To Master The Highest Level
Reference to GM's Footprints on the seashore No.217.
From page 42. GM visited Zhu Xian Tang & a disciple asked about the First Truth.
GM asked him to write 4 characters to see his level of enlightenment.
应有即有 (meant to have, will have) was presented.
I remembered GM showed it to Master Lian XX & asked whether this disciple is enlightened or not.
The answer was not enlightened.
I noticed this fellow disciple always follow other masters around & asked lots of questions.
Reminded me of another 2 who asked me lots.
A wants to learn something which needed GM's personal empowerment. I advise him to seek empowerment & asked him why he wants to learn 'this'. He answered: I want to go up to higher level.
B asked me to teach him [1] star worshiping foosteps; [2] Vajra Indestructable mantra; [3] Primodial Ultimate Prajna Deliverance Mantra. He said if I don't know, can I ask GM for him.
My answer: As to your inquiry, please write to GM. You also need empowerment. I can't teach you. My humble suggestion is to master 4 preliminaries. Starsteps & etc. why do you need them? With metta.
His answer : ..I was born w psychic power ...Now in order to go for a highest level I need a master to teach me......Please advice....
**When I talked about Universal Power one evening after group cultivation, he was fast asleep!
Not meant to even know?
Highest Level = ???? Is it perceived as Power to control? To show off? To subdue?
When I hear the reason to learn is to reach THE HIGHEST LEVEL, I shut down.
Haha! They kind of scare me.
I will share my humble views of Universal Power next, which I had shared with fellow disciples during & after group cultivation.

22 November 2010- Which One is Your Heart?
Reference to GM's Footprints on the seashore No. 217, article 3 from page 14.
There are lots of Zen Koan that GM frequently uses in his books especially recently.
Interesting excerpt:
GM & some disciples were making a visit to a TBS temple situated in mountainous area.
They went round twists & turns & suddenly one monk notice yellow TBS flag flying in the distance.
Monk said : I sighted the flag already.
GM asked : You sighted with your left or your right eye?
Monk was stunted for a moment but he then answered: It is my heart that saw.
GM : Ah! Which one is your heart?
Monk again cannot answer.
GM's answer is Every part of the body are eyes!
Hahaha!
Well, GM said if you know your heart you will see your Buddha nature or attain Enlightenment.
Let us all be more diligent & learn more from GM daily.
**this article is intended to wet your appetite for more of GM's teachings. Someone tasked me with helping promote GM's books. I think this is a good though mischievous way to complete my mission.
I have fully enjoy writing articles into this blogspot & wish you all happy reading.

20 November 2010 - The Lion Roars
Caodun, Taiwan - TBS Temple.
GM made a landmark speech at the start of his Dharma speech.
A most welcome one too as per the cheers & the continuous clapping of those present.
For those who truly listen to GM all these years, well it seems the MESSAGE constantly & patiently send out by our most compassionate Guru has fallen on deaf ears of those he intended to reach.
The arduous tour of various temples in Taiwan & HK...& the purifying enpowerment also didn't seem to touch those 'hardy black sheep'.
Ordinated monks & nuns really don't wish to be involved in mundane & 'pointless' matters created by sentient beings that have yet to conquer their GREED, PRIDE, IGNORANCE, JEALOUSY, HATRED, DESIRES....
In Guru's eyes, there is no good or bad. Everyone only perform for span of a lifetime. Everything is back to nothingness. Alas, there is the KARMA factor to be taken into consideration.
I am sure it pains GM much to come to writing off any one sentient being & what more they be his disciples.
Let us all join hands & lighten GM's load as best as we can, no matter how small our individual strength. Together & united with one goal, we should be able to let GM enjoy more leisure to pursue his hobbies.
Let us all wish that the shelved Kalachakra event in Indonesia originally planned on the 19 February 2011 will materialize.
GM also said something else which should be noted: he said best keep his money properly else it be stolen.
Go figure!
Haha! rewind back to his speech in Seattle on 4 September 2010 about the Lion & the Rabbit.
That speech is also very enlightening.
See & hear GM's speeches, they are truly very interesting.

Do you have time for your ancestors?
GM stresses the importance of Filial piety.
I recently receive a request to shift ancestors out from descendants' residence because none of the descendants still living there have time to pray to the ancestors or even say hi.
I confirmed with the client many times & the request stands.
I advocate filial piety & don't feel good with people who couldn't find the time to light a joss-stick or say hi to their ancestors at least once a day.
Haha. I wrote a script detailing that the Filial descendants have bought a luxurious residence for their beloved ancestors & wish them to live in luxury there.
Upon the understanding that at least at the new residence, the ancestors has more exposure to sutras chanted & offerings by the establishment daily, I felt much better.
The client & family members have dark auras & I sincerely hope they be filial & take care of their ancestors well & find time to visit with their ancestors frequently.
Please do not neglect your ancestors, else they neglect you. Do not under-estimate the help they can give you too.

Seattle 2 September 2010
At breakfast, watching TV broadcast of news.
There was this Hurricane off east coast of USA & the estimated speed was 4.
Suddenly I find I had transformed into Kalachakra & stepping on the hurricane.
Then Kalachakra's right limb turn anticlockwise to spin the hurricane in the opposite direction to reduce its speed.
Haha! I am more shock than anything.
This is the second time that Kalachakra merges with me without 'notice'.
Seattle 8 November 2009. Rainbow villa fire homa lead by Grand Master. This one is done to give offerings to Kalachakra before GM does enpowerment of Kalachakra in Dallas the following week.
When all started to chant Kalachakra's mantra, I was standing on global earth as Kalachakra.
Both feet started to stamp the globe in tune with the chanting & arms shot out from both sides of 'me'.
I opened my eyes & looked at GM who is intent on the fire homa.
Assured that nothing is amiss I closed my eyes again.
Well, I am still Kalachakra.
So let it be.
When I shared these in temple on Goddess of mercy day recently, there were lots of feedback.
Some said I am too "ridiculous" & talk about "mystical" powers. Some said I should keep all these to myself.
There were about 100+ attendees & I sincerely hope at least one understand what it is to merge to go save lives or do something to ward off disaster.
Have you wonder why are you in True Buddha School & why are you cultivating as taught by GM?
Think about it deeply now. What do you think the ultimate scenario will be when you 'arrived' at destination?
I remember sharing Boddhicitta during cultivation. These can be found in GM's Hong Guang Da Cheng Jiu Book 3, the differnet types of Boddhicitta one can cultivate & how to do so.
The Hurricane one should come under Samodhi Boddhicitta. When we merge, the condition should be in Samodhi. When one enters the realm of the particular Buddha/Bodhidsattva/Dharma Protectors.....one has the same ability of that Deity.
Buddha's 4 Noble Truths has pointers as to how one should perceive sight, sound, touch...& how one should react. GM also teaches us the same through many speeches.
If someone would have come forward and said, Venerable, can you share more with me?
At least, I risk being hurl abuse & slander & label a crazy fool for at least one amongst the congregation, I am contented.
Well, to be honest, many believed me but didnot voice any comment.
These are those that attended cultivation lead by me in two local temples.
GM said when one become Buddha one has 'sheng tong', mystical powers.
Open your hearts & open your minds, as long as you can visualise and put your compassion into saving lives or doing good for all sentient beings, anything is possible.
There is another take to merging without notice.
I believe that there are more than one person who merges with Kalachakra that morning to lend 'power' to the prevention of disaster or lessen the damages. The hurricane's speed was down to 2 when it hit shore that night.
I saw many flying on golden phoenixes during fire homa lead by GM in Melbourne this October.
Well if you think all these is not true, take it as reading fictional article.
Enjoy!

分享 - 11 November 2010 殊胜的高王观世音真经
皈依3星期，念了高王经约400余遍，忽然见到心中有一朵奶白光的莲花打开。
嘻嘻！好漂亮哦。继续念。唉！佛菩萨坐到莲花上了！好亮， 好亮哦。
每天念每晚眼闭上，好相看烟花盛放。
过了几个月，莲悦上师在同修教观想非常相似。
我原本以为我疯了。哈哈！没事，哇靠！
我写了一偈如下。我在显教皈依法名：普悦。[我去年出家后给师佛披阅过.]
【普悦谜团莲悦解，高王诸尊同庆访，
似相举办花灯节，心中莲花盛开放。】
此经如果可以不停念上50-100遍，可以入蛮深的定境。
试试吧！
阿弥陀佛。

13 June 2010 - 獅城雷藏寺与 师尊的约会 - 莲廚法师 唱歌 感恩师尊
莲廚法师 唱歌 感恩师尊
I wrote lyrics to this song after listening to GM's farewell speech in Seattle this April 13.
I had this vision of GM patiently teaching us in various lifetime & also us tailing behind him along rocky paths up & down mountains to spread dharma.
My heart aches when a fellow shijie said she took refuge for the past 30+ years & she don't know what GM is teaching.
When I sing the verse** about following GM through various lifetime & carving out the Bodhi path, my eyes fill up with tears. How our dear Guru meticulously put down in words to teach us, his touring the whole of Taiwan & then HK irregardless of how tiring the journey.
It was real tough for him in HK as he does 3 temples per day & ended up returning to hotel in the early hours of the morning.
At his 1st dharma speech after returning from HK, he said he so wanted to sleep.
His care & selflessness for all sentient beings is to be emulated.
I am sure all fellow tongmen agree with me.
Lets do our best to lighten GM's load please.
Amituofo. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this song as much as I did singing it & bringing GM into focus, always the kind, caring & smiling countenance.
Lets tell GM whats in our hearts: GM, we love you very very much
让我们一起告诉师尊我们的心意： 师尊我们好爱好爱您。
I name this one GM's vow. 师尊的诺言
皈依师佛既是续前缘，从此刻心起启转。
敬爱着您， 时时惦记着您，如今再度许下诺言。
**随着您步越诸世菩提道，随着您脱开生死打转。
铭记佛理，用其转化传奇，方可实践度众诺言。
问？
怎去迎解众生的苦恼？怎引度见如来？
我是情愿舍我生命，此心永不愿改。
答：
想要迎解众生的苦恼？想引度见如来？
要觅寻找真理之道，将心为众生淌开。

Sharing - 11 November 2010 Mindset
GM places the 4 immeasurable visualization at the start of cultivation.
Have you wonder why?
A yogi cultivate to merge with Principal Deity or Buddha/Bodhisattva.
First study what this Principal is all about.
Generally, all Buddha & Bodhisattva are infinitely Compassionate & Wise.
Cultivate a caring & sharing yogi.
One who opens their heart fully & joyously to care & share with all sentient beings,
One who do not differentiate or discriminate any fellow beings,
One who willing to make others happy even to their own disadvantage,
One who treats all as equals....
Tongmen A (took refuge 10+years) asked me whether we have to care for ourselves first before others. Like not dedicating merits of chanting & cultivation to others but keep it for self. Reason someone gave A was he needs it for himself as his own karmic negatives infinite & cannot clear.
Now B, was told to not dedicate any of GM's mantra chanted to others because she needs 8 millions count to go to Maha Double Lotus Pond Pureland. (took refuge 10+years)
C told me his negatives too much so he has to attend fire homa/puja regularly & cultivate 5 or 6 sessions a day to just stay comfortable. (took refuge 20+years). He believes he has a lot of Negative karma to burn away & he has to continue to say sorry non stop.
D chants all 3 chapters of Ksitigarbha Sutra daily & burn lots of lotuses & incense paper to say sorry to his numerous Karmic negatives because he said he has too many & if don't do he will suffer some mishap or misfortune.
E said he is a high rank master monk & therefore everyone must kowtow to him. At the start of a meal, he told everyone who raise their chopsticks to stop, he has to eat first.
He told me not to dine with tongmen as food touched by them are tainted & not good for 'holy' monks & nuns.
Many go more than one round of enpowerment during GM's sessions. They think that once in not enough.
If you think that the 1st round is not powerful enough, what makes you sure that the 2nd, 3rd. 4th.... round will do the trick?
Haha. Is it so hard to trust GM 100%?
GM said in Hong Guang Da Cheng Jiu that it truly is difficult for one to trust & believe him 100%.
To cultivate well, one has to have infinite trust in our own Guru & follow his footsteps, right?
Read some Buddhist stories?
Sakyamuni Buddha eats moldy leftover food given as alms to him. The members of that household has eaten & therefore the food is tainted?
One must be grateful for alms given to us to keep us alive in order to have a shell to cultivate, do you agree?
We in turn cultivate diligently to give them blessings or dedicate merits to them.
My humble views are to cultivate well, one's mindset is of utmost importance.
Buddha/Bodhisattva are all full of Compassion & Wisdom.
GM taught us to learn these mindset to cultivate well.
I urge all fellow cultivating yogi to listen to GM only to start with & keep the 4 Immeasurable Vows to heart at all times.Read the book called 密教大光华. Whenever anyone try to teach you something selfish & not generous, please smile & say thank you then walk away.
As you cultivate, observe those around you. Who is shining & happy & who is not. Discern for yourself who to listen to & seek help.
I know when you share & willing to give, the Buddha & Bodhisattva will give you more to share with all sentient beings.
Bear in mind that only one that is rich & not lacking can give infinitely.
Are you Rich & able to give Infinitely without discrimination to make all sentient beings happy?
Can you put a smile on someone's face every day?
Hope you enjoy reading this article & like it enough to share with others.
With metta, (metta is loving kindness)

Karma 11 November 2010 - Body Language of Liars
Nowadays many who womanized in China & etc & broke up their families back home in HK, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan & etc.
In the Divorce Court flanked by expensive legal "eagles" they often lie about their worth & cheat their spouses & children out of proper living support. Many I come across go repeatedly to court because their ex-spouses failed to abide court orders for maintenance. Most just shirk responsibility & write off their families.
The thing about the LIES they sworn in is the interesting part. They created the destitute & poverty scenario that if they but realized, they have to act it out or live it out for the rest of their lives to put Truth to those lies else the ex-spouses file a Perjury case against them.
I am sharing some Body Language of Liars.
They avoid eye contact & turn their heads away to push through a lie. Notice the position of their feet in Court also gave them away. As they churned more lies which they somehow can not remember what was the recent version, their feet are positioned in such a way that they are ready to make a run for it. Haha. I learnt these from Criminology people. Now their hands!! Clasp & unclasp & hide them under desk to try & stabilize their 'excitement'. Face pale & often greenish & mouth dry-looking.
Breathing escalated or very pronounced movement.
Well, when you build a castle you live in it. Living out the lies one perpetuated is truly sad as one lives in perpetual fear of detection & corresponding punishment. The castle seems to shrink faster & faster & suffocate them. Haha. Visualized rings you put around yourself & as you put more & more they bury you.
I believe living this kind of life is an eternal punishment.
Now from the Karma angle.
Greed, Lies, Adultery, Anger, Hatred, Jealousy, Pride, Power, Control.... are characteristics of beings of the 3 Lower Realms.
Eg. the eternally hungry ghost - all materials they touch or try to eat will turn into fireballs that burn & cause pain.
The cumulative total of the above traits determine where they are place & how much & how long they have to go through the various halls of the underworld.
You can find some tit bits about the underworld in Ksitigarbha Sutra.
Grand Master said a cultivating yogi should not lie. I think all of us should not lie because in the end our Karma returns to reward or punish.
Have a nice day.

Karma 6 November 2010
Lots of people talk about KARMA.
How much do we truly understand about Karma?
I like this version best & I use it often.
Visualize a still pond. You threw a pebble into the pond.
Ripples form & spread out circularly. They hit shore or resistance at different velocity.
The impact caused ripples & return to the origin at its own velocity dependent on the speed & force at impact.
Note that the ripples form by the return has more than one origin.
Like in scientific terms, Action & Reaction. The stronger the initial force, the faster & stronger the return.
Let us say you make someone very unhappy. He in turn take out his unhappiness on others around him.
You are the initiator of the Negative karmic action which spread out to impact many.
When these karmic negatives return, their impact is a total of all that had been touch by your negative.
I met a girl of about 30 years old. She is classified as Retarded. She speaks in many different 'voices'. When you ask her who is she, she will sometime tell you she is 'gor gor' (brother). Then her speech changes & you ask her again who are you. Her answer can be 'jie jie' or 'mei mei'.(older sister or younger sister). She has a total of at least 4 children in her. Her Mother said she sometimes very violent when she throws tantrum. She also make loud noises at night and disturb the neighbours.
Another one is 36 years old male who drips saliva & mentally of 15 year old as he started being a 'retard' at that age. If left alone at home, he causes damges to the house.
Another 5year old boy cannot form words & just utter noises. General healthy Ok. Only cannot speak to communicate. Parents tried many channels to seek help but not effective.
I read this story about this man who cannot learn to form meaningful speech. He can only repeat one word out of a sentence taught to him. No matter who teaches him also gave up eventually. Buddha taught him to sweep floor and chant "Sweep dust rid earthly dirt". Buddha told all that come upon him to chant that to him to help him.
Buddha saw his previous life as a learned monk who is well versed with many sutras & teachings. He become too prideful & forgotten humbleness. He also become impatient and shouted at those that slow to learn.
His Karma made him one of those "fools" he labelled others.
Lost of speech ability and others are all result of Negative Karma one started in which one has to 'pay back' this life time or subsequent life time.
I saw lawyers that lie to win cases for their clients & gather fame. These are like Trophies of skull they had beheaded & carry around with them to exhibit their victories. They charges exorbitant fees as they gather more skulls. Last week I happened to have brief eye contact with one 'fresh from the kill'.
When cultivating I told GM I had a funny feeling like something poke my heart though not lethal but just make me uneasy. Yesterday in meditation I got my answer. I came face to face with a demon clothed in human form tha'ts all. Haha! I am so relief that I understand what has me uneasy for the pass few days.
GM advice was to watch but do not act to stop their rampage. Karma is not to be interfere with. It has to take its course. We can help when they are ready to repent only.
Well, I keep hearing GM chants Heart Sutra within my hearing like he did in Australia recently. He wants me to observe but at ease. Don't take action to stop these lawyers, their time will come.
Well, people suffering from many chronic ailments and we want to help them. Please teach them to say sorry and also do community work to help all sentient beings.
They have to lessen their own negative karmic forces.

4 Nov 2010 - Boddhisattva Left
Invited to this house. The Goddess of Mercy Statue is vacant.
According to the Lady of the house who is a Christian from childhood, she said 4-5months ago she had a dream. In that dream, the altar is empty.
The altar was set up about a year ago & "opening blessings" done.
Something is not right for the Boddhisattva to leave.
This is better than the one I saw earlier this year. The ONE sitting inside Sakyamuni Buddha's statue gave me a nasty look (gangsterish). Haha! Shocked me!
The premises floor sagged inwards like a cave in. The drain outside is choked & smell real foul.
Did a cleansing & re-invoke all to descent upon altar to enjoy offerings.
The drain outside - Dragon King rain heavy & flush away the stagnant & smelly stuff. Was justcasually remarking that if Dragon King would rain heavy & clear the stagnant drain it will be very good.
Dear Dragon King really kindly help out.
Offerings to Dragon King - Usnisa Vijaya Mantra printed incense paper folded into lotus flower & pagoda.Plus various True Buddha incense paper each 3 or 7 pcs. Fresh flowers & milk.
Remember the 8 foremost Dragon Kings took refuge under GM. We are one family.
Just follow GM's footsteps will do.
GM said it is hard to ask that one believe him 100%, but let us all try.

October 2010 - GM visits Australia 4
Photos.
I saw many taken outside the convention centre as well as inside.
HK shijie - have few shots of clouds spotted with blue, red & white dots.
I am sure when they all have time to upload and share, we will all go Oooooo, aaaaa....................
Such is the support that GM has from Universal sources.
Lets all follow GM & cultivate diligently.
Visuals.
There were many riding Phoenixes during fire puja at Yan Ming Temple. Haha. Not kidding.
GM said believe it or not, up to you.
Many do cultivate well under GM's tutelage.

October 2010 - GM visits Australia 3
Melbourne
19 Oct. We were dining at a Japanese outlet along Spencer St. The lady owner asked some questions and she told us she is a regular of Shan Ming Temple. She offered to lead us there.
GM sent her because we really wondering how to get there & not get lost. Haha.
20 Oct. We boarded a train after asking directions to Albion. Just when we sat down, a lady sitting on the 2nd row spoke to me and ask me to sit next to her. We told her we total 4. We told her its our 1st time going to Yan Ming Temple & she said GM sent her to lead us.
GM does care for us to such minute details. HAHA.
Our Beloved Living Buddha Lian Sheng, our Root Guru.
Book Signing. We went early to join in book signing. We were told GM will not sign those other than pre-alloted. Lotus Helen prepare cultivation booklets consisting of vajrasattva, True buddha repentance, Live animal release practices in Chinese, English & hanyu-pinyin. We did these to help those that can't read chinese & don't understand what they are chanting.
Midway through the book signing, someone announced GM will sign more books. We bought two quickly & when it was Helen's turn, someone said we don't sign private books.
GM drew the booklets quickly towards him, turn the 1st page n signed both booklets speedily.
GM knew shijie stayed up many nights till morning to complete them to present in Australia.
Haha. We were elated.
All of us were Touch By Our Beloved Living Buddha Lian Sheng.
