GM's speech on the 15-1-2011.
Everyone wants empowerment for BIG practice!
The lineage gurus wrote thesis on how to cultivate from beginning & slowly progress to the 'top' or enlightenment.
What is BIG Dharma practice?
The perception of having great Powers after cultivationof these practices.
Again we are back to POWER.
I have shared previously about POWER.
Hahaha!
Seems this is the weak point of many. To have great powers to control & to make their lot superior.
Within all these is the GREED monster rearing its head.
Then add craving to better others to feed EGO.
There in lies IGNORANCE.
Most really don't know what is POWER. They only have their own misguided idea that they NEED POWER.
They have a need to compare also.
Buddha teaches us all that we are all equal. Why & how?
When we cultivate to Buddhahood, we are but a light form which has no define shape & just part of the Universe, just like all Buddhas & Boddhisattvas.
Where light is concern, no defining where one starts & ends, as they all merge together as ONE.
Individual don't stand out in the Universe.
GM said most didn't want to do the basics & expect to attain or achieve 'high level' just through empowerment of BIG practice.
Seems the message to start from basic fell on deaf ears since time immemorial.
The show up or attendance at event for so call Powerful Divinities bear truth to the fact that "Power" craving is the motivating force. The next is wealth, as in the fortune gods.
GM also explain Zen sutra of 6th Patriarch emphasizing on gradually cultivating from basic & one eventually find one's own Buddha Nature & all the 'power' within.
Cultivation is the KEY & not empowerment of BIG practices.
Listen repeatedly to GM's Dharma Speech especially the past 3months. Mostly into finding own Buddha Nature & how to do so.
Therein lies Power to save oneself first & eventually save others when one attain Buddhahood.
Please do not let GM's teachings go to waste.
