GM's book 220 page 11-12.
There are lots of spirits from a massive natural disaster & he offered his EYES as a temporary shelter.
These spirits transformed into tiny black dots & flew into GM's eyes.
Both GM's eyes become very red and almost bleeding.
This continued for one week until he did a fire puja in Rainbow Villa & Amitabha Buddha's light lead them all to Pureland.
All the spirits flew out one by one from GM's eyes & boarded the Dharma Vessel from Amitabha Buddha bound for Pureland.
GM's eyes return to normal immediately after that .
Another article Page 34-7.
Question was why for animals chanting Mansjuri Boddhisattva's bardo mantra can immediately be delivered? [we do this before partaking meals].
Why for Human beings need to chant lots of Dharani for 49 days then can help them get delivered?
Haha! GM's replied with a story.
For animals, their Karmic Negatives very high therefore they are lucky to have a "powerful" master to deliver them upwards. Actually Human Beings are animals too & some are worse than animals.
Mansjuri Boddhisattva's bardo mantra - he is the Guru of the Seven Buddhas, can not underestimate this mantra. Animals are fortunate to have this powerful mantra to deliver them.
As to most human beings, their Karmic negatives are heavy & some not fortunate to meet with GM , therefore chant more Dharani to help them & all these depend on power of those helping too.
GM reiterates that Human Beings are animals too & each experiences life differently.
Why did I bring up the 49-days matter?
I was alarmed by some 'practitioners' who did the 49-day within a week of time of death.
I attended a wake recently, they did the 49-day ritual on the 4th night before the burial ceremony.
The reason??? for convenience!!!
I wonder how often will a person die that his family need to opt for convenience!!!
The day before, they told the family the deceased is going to Animal Realm!!!
Haha! Then they performed the "break hell's gate" & brought the deceased out & supposedly deliver to Pureland.
Their family paid hefty sums for these rituals.
My grandmother had exactly the same done & cost about 30 thousands or more.
But she came back asking for supplies - she is cold & hungry wearing rags & homeless & etc.
My dad also went through the same & also came asking for supplies.
I am truly very skeptical about the claims of services rendered by these practitioners.
O! That night we saw one waved a lantern like object, "coach", & Lotus R said they are not supposed to do that. The deceased is supposed to be seated within & can not any how flip in all directions.
No concern for the deceased well being of whether they can stay seated inside this "coach" & also Disrespect for the deceased.
It all boils down to what GM said: Power!!! they either have or don't have!
The 49-day period is where the spirit hang around until they are sentenced by their degree of karmic negatives to the various hells.
For us in TBS, GM can get you out of the various hells even after the 49-day dateline.
Conditions apply. Haha! Depends on the Karmic Influence of the spirit concern.
There are articles in GM's books that detailed how he does these.
Anyway, I am going to share them soon. Stay tune.
Well, Acala's lariat (rope) in his left hand can search & find anyone in the underworld as long as you provide the names & other required data.
For G who feared his 49days running out on him, he kept harassing W.
If he knows that GM has many ways to deliver one to Pureland irregardless of the time lapse, he won't be so rushed.
On the other hand, he saw where he will be going & needs urgent help to not be assigned there.
For all those that GM delivered, rest assured that they are truly delivered.
I would do bardo delivery first night, followed by dedication of merits sessions thereafter.
Upon arriving at Pureland, they need resources, therefore dedication of merits to them to "utilize" in Pureland.
Be more discerning. Think how many times GM need to do delivery for one person?
I shared the Lotus Mudra which everyone can do for a speedy delivery of any living thing you come upon lying dead anywhere, chanting GM's long mantra.
You only need to do it ONCE!
Where do you think you get the POWER?
From your true hearted intent to help, sharing GM's Dharma with all!
HAHAHA!
You can never do too much for the deceased!
Therefore constantly dedicating merits of Dharani chanted or charitable acts to your loved ones - you have filial piety & Boddhicitta too!
Dharma is to be shared! No hoarding it.
Don't let the 49-day dateline bother you, you can do beyond as well.
Spending 49 days in remembrance I think is not too much to ask of the deceased family, do you agree?
Some do daily offerings too, can you also do that?
