22-9-2011 真/假比丘? True/False Monk? [2]

These are extracted from Facebook - some opinion from readers.

Faith JunHao point no 14 from "14 Root Tantric Vows" states : "Not to Despise Women"

Francesca Poon I would like to hear something from readers about the contents of this article please. Amituofo

Belinda Tan 去掉「我执」根本就没有monk or nun!! 心中不要起分别心monk and nun 都是平等的

Xiaotian Zhu Don't become too literally (slave of the precepts), too hasty, lack of wisdom and too easy to judge

Nino Candra In GM's view, he said that Monks and Nuns are equal and no differentiation. GM teaches us the same as Sakyamuni Buddha, to see the good and not the Evil of all matters. 
I believe 'all matters' here simply goes beyond gender differentiation. Even the 8-fold noble path doesn't put any concern on and has transcended the gender discrimination.

But oh well, if some people are still clinging with the idea that monk (here refers to male) is higher than nun (refers to female), then let me quote this paragraph from Guru Rinpoche: 
"First of all, the basic material of buddhahood is within you. In particular, it is in the human beings who have obtained the freedoms and riches. Moreover, it is not such that the basic material for buddhahood is abundant in men and deficient in women. Thus, even though you have taken rebirth as a woman, you are not prevented from attaining buddhahood."
Now, Monk Z should reflect his true intention from no.2 of the 8-fold path


Raymond Tung 如果-位出家已经明心见性, 他斟么能说别人呢?

Steven Thung True Master/Monk and Fake Master/Monk have their audience of supporters as well as critics. Naturally majority will support and believe the latter becos it happen in this place called earth. All these phenomenas exist becos of the arising and cessation of complex external conditions.緣起緣滅 Once u discern the truth, all dualistic characteristics ,eg good/bad,saint/evil,right/wrong,etc..become meaningless and a cultivator will not cling on any of these. He is in control of his mind,speech, and action at all times and can dwell on these w/o creating new karma.任運。So the crux is that one must be very certain he is entirely selflessness in the process of all these becos he wants to benefit others and not himself. But he can also choose to remain silence sometimes, depending on circumstances. There is really no formulas to apply to derive the best outcome. Put it this way, Dharma is sth tat can be right base on wat u say or still wrong base on what u say.佛法怎麽講都對,怎麽講都錯。呵呵

I believe we're the same from the first time. I wonder why they're making problems with gender issue. No one (in respect of the gender differentiation) gets disadvantaged in spiritual cultivation.
If they're bickering about the gender differentiation, maybe they should look again at many emanations of Buddhas and Buddha Mothers being from the same source. 
'The enlightened qualities remain the same' shall suffice the explanation.
Cheers all, Nino.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buddha said there is no differentiation and all are one!
GM said that all are equal!
So it means Buddha is going against his own words in the Differential Treatment of status of male and female venerables?
GM is going against Buddha's pre-set Doctrines?
Buddha is Infinitely Wise and Compassionate, correct?
GM is likewise too as a Living Buddha.
So whats the problem?
Like a beings cannot exist alone, all Buddha's teachings must be use or applied interlockingly or interlinkingly.
When one yoga with all beings and transform into any Divinity like Padmakumara, Avalokitesvara.... one has no more gender differentiation.
In the Lotus Sutra [Pu men pin] - Avalokitesvara can transform at will to any form for example, an old men, a young lady ......
All sentient beings are light forms and one can't differentiate light forms as they all merged together and No fixed form or boundaries.
This is actually similar in principle with GM's likening One's solo presence on the Moon.
When you are the only one, Dharma don't exist.
When Dharma don't exist, so does all Doctrines and the Do's and Don't laid out.

Look closely at those that uses Doctrines to get their ways!
Hahaha! they have yet to understand and apply what Dharma truly is!
They still think of a Supremacy over others they considered as "lesser beings", like they kick the dog wandering on the streets without a collar but praise the one on a leash all dolled up by its owner. 
It is all about control and maintaining the control they crave so much over others.
In other words: Keeping you always under their controls. 
I humbly suggest you look closely at the Monks and the Nuns.
Some monks have a female behavior while some nuns are very male.
As one cultivate, one already drop the differentiation of Gender far behind as one can Transform at Will.
Hahaha! Believe it or not, truly up to you.

One's body truly undergoes physical as well as spiritual changes along the path of cultivation.

From an email: 

{Well, GM gave me the title n the articles contents and I select the way to write so as not to cause a big explosion. [Hahaha! I didn't want to point fingers to the ones that I have encountered who treat Nuns like low class citizens/illegal migrants!]

Time we share some basic fundamentals of Dharma

Actually cultivation to a certain stage, one already lost the Gender differentiation n also understand that Buddha has other definition or meaning for Monks being more superior than nuns.

When u have the monk's mentality u are suppose to be more enlighten then those with nun's mentality in ancient times.

When u cultivate to drop all differentiation, u don't exist as solo but merged with all into the vast universe/or void.
Understanding these, one would not say that a Nun should not reprimand a Monk, a higher being than her.

It is therefore the subject at hand that act as a Monk or a Nun or just any layperson!
Thus those that only glean the surface of everything, won't truly understand Buddha's or GM's teachings. Hahaha!}

I think I have said enough for readers to be discerning and use your own wisdom and deduce for yourself the Truth behind Buddhist teachings.
Likewise, please remember that all Dharani are recorded by Human and take in the factor of Human error.

Dharma is too profound to be used against anyone to make any sentient being UNHAPPY!
