28-8-2011 Fire Puja at Rainbow villa - Mahachakra

Today's Principal Divinity is Maha Chakra.



There are light orbs in the above photos. 








Study the crowd passing through the empowerment banners.

How many truly have faith and trust in GM?
How many truly understand how to let go and 'emptied' self before receiving GM's empowerment?

When will fellow students follow GM's instruction to [ visualize, form mudra, chant mantra] and go through the empowerment banners thus receiving IN FULL what GM compassionately wants to give to everyone?

Hahaha!

26-8-2011 Seattle before event




Fellow TBS students waiting for GM to come to lunch at TBS Big restaurant.


Once GM appears, everyone started to kneel and greet him.


Lunch was a big event too. Many students volunteered to help in the kitchen for a few weeks to prepare lunch and dinner for all that came to attend the big event to be held on 27th August 2011.


After lunch, GM gave blessing by touching all students' heads.
The queue stretch from with Dining Hall, all the way to GM's office. 


The sun is shining brightly and non of us bother about the heat.
we just happily walk behind GM after receiving blessings.


GM also stayed out in the sun to talk to us and reluctant to enter the cool of his office premises.


GM, we all love you!


GM repeated the same for dinner too.

The above has this problem for quite a while.

Seek advice from me this June.
Reason being, don't want to go for surgery.

Attended fire pujas and other activities and also do voluntary work for Pure Karma.

Ask her to do homework, chanting and dedicating to all sentient beings.

She dreamt of GM giving her blessing by touching her head and also her children.
In the dream GM told her that there are lots of activities on weekends and ask her to attend.

Yet another saved by GM.

31-8-2011 Wish Boddhicitta

Hahaha! I am at it again!

While at the airport this 12th August, fellow student who said he wanted to be a monk said he dare not go for ceremony of taking Boddhisattva precepts'  YET!
Another quickly said that one should not do so because the penalties are great for anyone who break the precepts.

GM said on May 1, 2011 at HK Mayura event that undertaking BODDHISATTVA precepts ceremony means one compassionately make a Boddhicitta Wish to help all sentient beings and willing to do one's best to help and even sacrificing self interest for the good of others.

Remember that all Buddhas and Boddhisattvas are INFINITELY COMPASSIONATE!
They won't punish you if you have done wrong unknowingly. 
They will also help you to execute and fulfill your Boddhicitta wish.

DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!!!

One fellow student told me that I should not ask fellow student to undertake the Boddhisattva Precept ceremony as the penalties are great.

GM's version is the ONLY version!!

Dear all, MAKING A BODDHICITTA WISH is the First step in cultivating Boddhicitta!

A word of caution to those that continue to frighten others with severeness of Penalties, ONE WHO HINDERS OTHERS ALONG THE BODDHI PATH IS ONE WHO HAS GONE INTO MARA'S CAMP!

31-8-2011 VIP/VVIP in TBS

Haha! Just posted an article by QingFeng [light wind] about VIP and "front rows" seats all reserved for them.

Following GM last year doing the rounds of True Buddha's Chapters in Taiwan, I also noticed that the VIPs were given seats together with our vajra masters while we lamas were mostly seated on the floor and the rest of students behind us.

Ordinated lamas should not bother with where we are told to sit and we happily sat down where ever there is place.
Our Hearts fully tuned to GM's Dharma Teachings.

For those that boast of being able to "buy their ways" to "VIP" seats, I regret to tell you this:-
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE NOW IS ALSO TEMPORARY!

Please refer to my article "DINING PRIVILEGES" as well.

Buying your way to have dinner with GM and seating at the same table --- what do you hope to gain??
Why do you need to broadcast to everyone??
You are more special??

Hahaha! Not at all!!

Knowing humbleness and being compassionate to all sentient beings and not making them have negatives like JEALOUSY, FEELING INADEQUATE/INFERIOR,  DESIRES FOR POWER/WEALTH/ADULATION....is what a TRUE YOGI should do.

Like a battery, when you charged it up and then use it or leave it aside for a period, the charges diminishes and you need to recharge again.

Similarly, GM blessing you by his presence or touching your head, this blessing will also wear-off.

Operative here is RELY ON SELF CULTIVATION for EVERLASTING POWER.

When you have need of Universal power/energy to help sentient beings, you will be supplied with the know-how and enough resources to spill over levels to execute your Wish Boddhicitta.

31-8-2011 誰是VIP?


文: 
   
    某次由聖尊主持的大法會上,雲集了很多世界各地前來護持的弟子,我有幸拿到了VIP區的位置,心中有些沾沾自喜。
但法會後,我遇見了一個由我帶入門皈依不久的同門,說起彼此的座位,才知道她卻只是拿了個遠離壇城的普通位置,我正有些為自己的炫耀(好位置)而感到不好意思,
想不到我的朋友衝口而出地問我:「佛教也有VIP席位,佛教不是說人人平等嗎?

我即刻被問得啞口無言對啊,平等性智啊
   
    想起我曾在西雅圖小住受益,在周六同修和周日的護摩上,師尊是從來都沒有設立VIP區的,上師、教授師等在上面坐,壇城下面只有出家法師在最前面,其它位置全部是自由開放的:誰先來的,誰都能坐在前面,清楚聆聽聖尊的教導。

甚至有些常來同修的同門還會主動把那些接近師佛的好位置讓給遠道而來的同門,那是種多麼溫馨的氣氛啊!

    我在想:為什麼和西雅圖祖廟相比,什麼都變了呢?

    師尊以前默默的身教我們怎麼就沒有人留意呢?

    再來,我們可以不用說那麼遠的,就來說說近的吧!

最近八月十三日,聖尊在台灣雷藏寺舉辦了中元超渡大法會。

是日早上,台灣行政院院長吳敦義前來拜訪,引起外界傳媒的轟動,原因是我們師尊並沒有因為其重要的政治地位,而放下自身的修法之務,前來迎接。

師尊並在法會上清楚告知大家:我已經邀請他來參加今天下午的法會了,因為我今天下午要做很大的法會,所以早上一定要修法,不便出來接見。

由此可見,師尊是以修行為首要之務,並且視眾生皆平等的,其心中沒有貴賤之分。

無論你是誰,作為修行人就是該保持自我之行,不亢不卑,那才是真正的修行者之為。

    而今,無論是台灣雷藏寺的法會,還是某些國家地區邀請師尊前往弘法的法會,都設有一個特別的VIP區,坐席上的也大多都是些很有身份地位的人:或政客,或演藝名人、或名教授、又或是那些對宗派捐獻較多的富裕的弟子等等,對此,我想問問大家,難道真的就沒有人覺得有何不妥嗎?

佛教的人人平等之說今又何在呢?
誰是我們佛教徒的VIP呢?

如何衡量?
如果以人的金錢和地位來作為其評定的標準,那我們是否在做偽佛教的行為呢?

          我很想請教大家,你們如何看待此事情呢?

    在此,我想先說說我個人的意見,在下認為那些VIP區域的位置應該給以下這些同門弟子:
    第一,年老病弱的,行動不便的弟子,坐輪椅的,他們應該得到優先禮讓。
    第二,遠道而來的同門,尤其是那些不太容易見到師尊的弟子(如中國內地的同門,或者從其他遙遠國度前來的),他們長途跋涉,或坐很久的飛機才可以來見到師尊的,應該憑著機票安排入座VIP
    第三,具有誠心,一大早入廟的,自然應該讓他們選擇好些的位置,誰說普通人來早了,也坐不到前排位置?這不是比外界的社會行為更不公平合理?

    其實,除了第一和第二之外,根本沒有人需要VIP位置,大家來早了,誰都可以坐在前面的好位置上,這才是佛教中平等的真正體現

同樣,如果你能見到有需要的,主動讓出你的好位置,那才更不愧為一個修行人。

    如果,我們真正都是在學佛,我們首先學到了師佛的處世態度了嗎?

如果是的話,那還還會有什麼小圈子,還會有VIP位置嗎?

那些每個禮拜都坐在VIP區內的、自稱和師尊緣份很深或對宗派捐獻很多的老弟子們,你們不覺得慚愧的嗎?

你們不應該讓出你的好位置給那些更需要坐在這裡的同門們嗎?

要知道很多同門來一次不容易,見到師尊更不容易,既然你們跟師尊的緣份深厚,時常可見,那就請您佈施一下你的福份給那些有需要的同門吧,那才是體現佛的慈悲和無我啊!

也才不枉你們跟著佛學到了佛啊!

    阿彌陀佛!
平等性是佛教很重要的教義;而慈悲、無我也是可以體現在每一件周遭的小事情上。

師佛在其平時身體力行中所表現出的教示,你我看到了嗎?
看懂了嗎?
學會了嗎?
能運用了嗎?
現在,請您告訴我誰是VIP
誰是佛陀眼中的VIP?

This Catholic family of 3 gathered around the sitting area to pray for Holy blessings.
Part way along, I went to sit down & pick up the printed pages that Grandma has prepared.

I did this after getting a signal to sit in.

About a minute after I sat down, my glance was directed at DT (he has a terminal illness).
The signal I got was to tell DT to button up his shirt when doing prayers & to sit up right as well.

He must be fully committed in asking for help & blessings.

Haha! There's a statue of Jesus Christ by the fireplace!!!

Jesus Christ is HERE!

GM and many Divinities are here too.

I have asked GM to save DT too since early July.

I am sure DT will be alright & can live a healthy life for more years with so many Divinities present.

Haha! Remember:- Sincerity & whole-heartedly asking for help.

26-8-2011 SOMETHING USEFUL


HOPE YOU CAN PICK UP SOMETHING USEFUL FROM THIS CHAT SESSION...


S: I try to refrain from posting GM's teachings in His original words but in my words so that i can test and know my level of understanding of the Dharma. And of course, i will not be ashamed if anyone can correct my mistakes or misperception and indeed i am grateful to him.

S: The act of regurgitation of GM's teachings, in my opinion is that one has not digested and absorbed all the necessary nutrition and vitamins for one's spiritual growth.

LC: Haha. It is good to share your perception. I have asked Chris & team to rotate n lead cultivation since I am away for almost 2 months.

LC: In your own words means you read & absorb GM's teachings & try to get it across. It is most beneficial for those that have no Chinese language knowledge at all.

LC: I don't think i did a complete job too, translating GM's articles. But better than nothing. Haha!

LC: GM has lots of goodies that span a few decades, for a 3-year old like me, has to work very hard to absorb n share. Haha! I do wonder often how much those with no Chinese or vey little Chinese learn from me.

LC: At least I know I am on to something when I can cultivate n connect.

LC: so what i share is not too far off. and then GM kindly let me read an article or articles on the same topic which gives me the theoretical part to my practical part. Haha! I love GM very very much.

S: its fortunate for them as i see that u r teaching them the gist of GM's teaching for inner growth rather than spending their precious time in planting good karma for the future.

LC: Haha! is that what I am doing?

S: Yap!

LC: I just hope to make them aware n don't cultivate blindly with no target in front & also don’t get mislead by those that claim they have great powers for this & that. & most important, raise their greed by teaching them get rich quick. never telling them the truth to get rich.

S: Well, hope that all these will be taken seriously and not be tempted or swayed easily. That’s why ur marathon chanting plus puja play a very important role here. Always seek thru inner self and not outside.

LC: just answered someone's queries on hair loss n statues cleansing on my blog. Haha! I am like AUNTIE AGONY!!!

S: auntie anti-agony:)

LC: 嘻嘻

LC: no one tell me that being a fashi, one has to be knowledgeable.

LC: I think i should start charging for professional consultation! Haha!

 This is a story by AJB, a renown monk, whose speeches are greatly appreciated and sort after by many Buddhist.



I was staying with this temple in the hills.



One day, the resident 2nd in command, instructed us to shift a pile of bricks out of sight from the front of the temple to the site behind the temple. 


He said to do it before the Abbot’s return, as it is unsightly.

Fellow monks and I commence the shift under the hot sun, pushing primitive make-shift wheel-barrows. 

We completed the task within a few hours.

Upon the Abbot’s return a few days later, he asked that the bricks be move back to where they were.

Once again, we toiled under the hot sun.

I was disgruntled with the fickle-mindedness of the administration team and commented: The load is too heavy and the sun is too hot!

Fellow monk, G: When you have to do it, do it happily.

Looking at him, I suddenly realized and felt ashamed as no one complains as they are carrying out the Abbot’s instruction.

They all have peaceful and contented disposition that shine brightly.

From then hence, no job is too difficult nor too tiring nor pointless.

The Sun seems to be cooler and friendlier, the load of bricks seem to lighten as well.

Our hearts created the difficulties and negatives thereby weighing us down.

When we do everything happily putting in our whole hearted commitment, nothing is too difficult to overcome.

23-8-2011 How to read and understand GM’s teachings?



Wanted to share this for quite some time.
Many fellow students have told me they don’t understand GM’s writings & even Dharma Speeches.
Those about Zen masters & the current Zen Sutra of the 6th Patriarch is getting to the point where most just could not follow.

There is a simple solution.

According to GM:-

1.       You need to clear your Karmic negatives by cultivating & dedication of merits to your Karmic foes & then to all sentient beings. Wish them auspiciousness, health, happiness…
2.       Cultivate repentance to get blessing from GM and Divinities so that your karmic negatives can be eradicated with their wisdom
3.       You have to practice Four Preliminaries studiously to yoga with Vajrasattva and GM.
4.       You talk to GM where ever and whenever you want to frequently
5.       When you open GM’s book, bring GM to your mind & visualize GM smiling at you
6.       Then visualize GM reading the contents of the book or article out loud to you

For Zen sutras, you have definitely to work hard to yoga with GM & then your Principal Divinities …
Always make sure you have GM presence when you encounter difficulties, ask GM to please show you the way.

In Tantrayana, Our Root Guru is the be all and end all of our cultivation.

Like the credit card advertisement that said: Don’t leave home without it!
You cannot forget to have GM’s presence in whatever endeavors you undertake.

Trust and Faith in GM, your Root Guru is the KEY.

23-8-2011 Your Heart's Demon 你的心魔
Morning Fa-shi, 
法师早,
Sorry to bother you again, I got a question to ask. 
不好意识又麻烦你,想问一个问题。

One of my customer had bought the Niche as the suite room was not yet ready so her mother ashes is temporarily place at our "Ji-Ling" room.
我的一个顾客买了厢房灵位, 因厢房还没装修好,她母亲的骨灰暂时摆放在本庄的[祭灵]房。

Now we will help her to place the ashes into the niche in next month, her sister who is in pregnant want to flight back from ...... to see it.
我们下个月将把骨灰埯请入预定的厢房灵位安放。 她有一个怀孕的妹妹欲从外国飞回来观礼。

Shall we let her to see the process or ask her to wait and rest at a side, after everything done then let her to pray? 
我们可以让她这样做吗? 或是让她在一旁休息等候, 入位后才让她祭拜?

Thanks & best regards, 
谢谢 和 祝福
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why did they ask this question?
她们为何如此问?

They are afraid of something Bad happening. 
她们害怕不祥的事情发生。

As long as they have this thought, then not good to let her be there.
当她们有这个念头时,就不宜让怀孕的妹妹观礼。

Our Heart or Mind has a demon that make us think all kinds of thoughts & create scenes causing fear.
我们的心或意志有魔就会想象许许多多的念头,也会化现恐怖的景象。

This is the Demon in our hearts. 
这是我们心中之魔。

Cultivating Yogi overcomes this demon & uncovers the Buddha residing within.
修行者能超越这个魔而揭开心里安住的佛。


The deceased in question is their parent: would a parent harm their own offspring?
往生者是她们的家长:试问家长会伤害自己的孩子吗?

The pregnant lady's problem is not her mom's spirit but those hanging around loosely in & around the place. 
孕妇的问题不是她母亲的灵, 而是周围的灵众。


If there are some who has past karmic negatives with her, then she will be affected.
如有与她有因缘果报的灵,她会受影响。

This applies to anywhere she goes. 
无论她在那里都会如此。


Karmic forces "ripen" anywhere at anytime, that's why we have to ensure we do not create any Negatives. 
因缘‘成熟’是任何地方在任何时间, 所以我们要确保我们不要造负面的业。

Therefore, we in TBS are lucky to have Dharma Protectors protecting us all the time & GM ensuring we are OK whenever we need help & chant GM's mantra to ask for help.
因此, 我们真佛宗的同门很辛运有金刚护法昼夜不休的保护我们。 还有师尊确保我们安然无恙。需要时,只要念师尊心咒求救就可以了。

your questions are considered as private consultation. 
你的问题属于私人项目。

just answer you this time only 
这次且回答你


I put up a price tag on these consultation, so people don't keep asking me for fun after asking others.
对于这些私人项目, 我会收费。避免群众问了别人又来问我。


I only answer questions on cultivation, any others, please tell the relevant party to consult me or other fashi/priest & pay consultation accordingly.
我只回答修法的问题, 其外, 请交待问事者直接找我或别的法师/神父并缴交相关费用。

Haha! 
哈哈!


Cheers

~~~~~~~~~

There are alternatives like getting a Talisman for protection but the person concern must have Charitable mindset so that we can help them neutralize Karmic Negatives.
还有别的管道如[护身符] 等, 但此人必须有善心, 那我们可以帮他化解负面因果。

I don't issue Talisman for protection if the person not willing to help themselves by doing good and sincerely wants to say sorry.
我个人不会对于毫无诚意和无自救心的人写护身符。


Money won't buy you protection where I am concern.
在我来讲, 金钱不能买到保护。



Don't come to consult me if you are not sincere.
若你无诚心, 请不要来找我。

請問,師尊是在趕時間嗎?

GM, are you in a rush?

原文:释莲厨[英语版] 华文翻译版:清风 释莲厨
Original English Script: Venerable Lotuschef
Chinese Translated Script : QingFeng + Venerable Lotuschef
   
最近在台灣草屯雷藏寺的事
The recent events at Caotun temple.

每個周末的晚飯後,師尊走了出來,要為所有的弟子摩頂加持。
After dinner, GM went round giving blessing by touching all students' head.

有幾位義工同門被安排來維持秩序, 但有些蛮粗鲁。
Some of the volunteers that are supposed to maintain order are too rough.

我走在一邊在人群中跟著師尊,口中不停地念诵著根本上師的心咒……
I was walking by the side following GM and chanting GM's mantra with the crowd.

我在後面注意到,有幾個義工對那些剛受了加持的同門們,很快一把「抓」起,甚至連拽帶拖地把他們向後推離。
I noticed that some volunteers grab those that had the blessing, lift them up from the side and shuffled them backwards and away.

其實,我也很明白,對於那些跪著的卻又已經受了摩頂加持的人群,我們是要盡快散移的,但我心中卻更想要提點大家;能否更多關注一下各同門的安全問題。
I understand that we have to clear the kneeling crowd after they got blessings, but I would advocate the attention on safety of fellow students.

在你要求跪著的同門們站起來向後移動,並散開人群之前,你先必須要懂得確保同門們已經站穩了,千萬不要操之過急
Grabbing people from the side, one must let them stabilized before asking them to turn and move backwards away from the kneeling lines.

然而那一刻,我感覺现场的气氛犹如在说:「師尊急著趕時間,不想被延誤……」,
The atmosphere created is like telling everyone that GM is rushed for time and don't like to be delayed.

但其實你們要知道,那是遠遠的背離了師尊對所有眾生的無限慈悲之心啊!
This is very far off from GM's mindset of infinite compassion for all.
如果這情況不得以改善,終有一天會有同門因此跌倒,甚至受傷的。
If the situation didn't improve, someone is going to get hurt by falling.

在印尼首都雅加達密总外面,當時也是有擁擠的人群向前推,我幾乎被推跌落入在一個種花方盆子里。幸好那時有分堂的人員及時伸出手來攙扶我。
In Jakarta, outside Mada Tantri, the crowd pushed forward and I almost landed in a flower planter if not for the helping hand of one of the chapter's personnel.

如果有弟子因为得到师尊加持或亲近师尊而受伤,师尊将会很难过的。
GM would be very sad if anyone got hurt just to get blessing or be near him.

我诚恳地希望某负责人能快速的进行改善措施。
I sincerely hope someone do something fast.

your questions are considered as private consultation. 
just answer you this time only
I put up a price tag on these consultation, so people don't keep asking me for fun after asking others.

I only answer questions on cultivation, any others, please tell the relevant party to consult me or other fashi/priest & pay consultation accordingly.

Haha!

There are alternatives like getting a Talisman for protection but the person concern must have Charitable mindset so that we can help them neutralize Karmic Negatives. 
I don't issue Talisman for protection if the person not willing to help themselves by doing good and sincerely wants to say sorry.
Money won't buy you protection where I am concern. 
Don't come to consult me if you are not sincere.

23-8-2011 Hair loss & Cleansing Stautes

Q & A




I've been experiencing hair fall for several years and no medication has been quite effective to combat this ailment. 
Do you have any suggestion on medical stuff as of what vitamins or medicine that I should consume? It's just weird that my family doesn't have any balding history.

And the second, when we're not in the presence of competent lama or master here (in Jakarta), how do you suggest me to cleanse my own altar spiritually? I've been given two statues (1 Padmakumara, 1 Yellow Jambhala). The one who gave me didn't like to expose the history of the statue. He just said that he got it from someone, and the one who owned it previously has passed away, and now that 'I have the affinity with the Padmakumara' so he gave me the statue.
I just want to make sure that the statues are spiritually clean.

Thanks for the attention, lama. It's glad that I have someone competent to talk to about dharma. Please just take your free time to answer my mail. If you're busy with other chores, you can just ignore this one and prioritise others first. Again, many thanks, Lama :)

Dear lotus ...., thanks for considering me a competent lama. haha!
Hair loss has many causative factors. Look at your daily lifestyle first.
People who plays indoor game like badminton has a higher tendency as to hair loss.
Reason being they are coup up indoor & as wind/air movements disrupt /affects the velocity of the shuttle-cork, FRESH air = oxygen is deficient.
Prolong deficiency of oxygen cause cells to die. Our body maximizes the use of oxygen in instances like these.
Dietary deficiency of various nutrients for cell development & growth is also crucial.
Go search the web for food good for Hair & general cell repair & replacements.



The statues coming from don't know where! Haha! First you do cleansing chanting Om Ah Hom 3x & visualize bright dazzling white universal light shining on them. you then place them on the altar
when u cultivate, Om Ah Hom Soha will invoke all Buddhas & etc presence. Offer with your heart. Offerings must be what you like or your favorite.
always invoke GM at the start for blessing your cultivation & the rest will come along as long as GM is seated.

Cheers

22-8-2011 GM, are you in a rush?


The recent events at Caotun temple.

After dinner, GM went round giving blessing by touching all students' head.

Some of the volunteers that are supposed to maintain order are too rough.

I was walking by the side following GM & chanting GM's mantra with the crowd.

I noticed that some volunteers grab those that had the blessing, lift them up from the side & shuffled them backwards & away.

I understand that we have to clear the kneeling crowd after they got blessings, but I would advocate the attention on safety of fellow students.

Grabbing people from the side, one must let them stabilised before asking them to turn and move backwards away from the kneeling lines.

The atmosphere created is like telling everyone that GM is rushed for time and don't like to be delayed.

This is very far off from GM's mindset of infinite compassion for all.

If the situation didn't improve, someone is going to get hurt by falling.

In Jakarta, outside Mada Tantri, the crowd pushed forward and I almost landed in a flower planter if not for the helping hand of one of the chapter's personnel.

GM would be very sad if anyone got hurt just to get blessing or be near him.

I sincerely hope someone do something fast.
