19-12-2011 Lighting your Heart's Lamp 2



J: Anyway, Fashi, i would like to register for the lamp on 31 Dec
Donate $10 yaa..he7..
Thank you ^^
Cheers,

LC: so u want to light for 1day/1year/1lifetime/ infinitely?
hahaha! Cheers


J; LoL, infinitely ha7...

i use to make this prayer when pouring oil in common Mahayana temple "may this light always light up all the sentient beings' life. Lead us to Boddhi path from every life time till attain Buddhahood..then make my own wish" so as long as the lamp oil in the temple is still lighting, then the prayer will also last he7..just my own self-affirmation.

no matter how long the light will last, we always have choice to lit it up again.

Cheers

LC: Hahaha!

J: =,= LoL. will try my best this time. not good at hinting.

"There was a very poor old lady who use her meager resources to buy oil to light lamp in order to brighten the path back to Sakyamuni Buddha’s vihara.
"
"
In my humble opinion, once a Cultivator’s Brightness lamp is lit, there is no more time restrictions! "
"Smell Dharma flavor?"
Just like the old lady story, she gave all her have just to offer Buddha a light. When Mara tried to blow all the lamp, only the old lady's lamp that was still lighting. I don't know what wishes that the old lady made, but i think once you sincerely offer something to Buddha (in this case : lamp), nothing will hinder the light lighting up, not even Mara or Time itself. 
Though the oil will run out, but the light will still light up in Buddha's eyes, inside the old lady's heart. it's not about how big, how exclusive, how perfect your offering, how much money you have spent but it's about your sincerity, seriousness and intention.

Cheers, Morning Fashi

LC: The old lady became buddha of light. exact title can't remember liao.

  1. I THINK IT IS THE SINCEREITY AND FAITHFULNESS THAT MATTER IN ALL OUR UNDERTAKING, REGARDLESS OGF THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE THAT MIGHT HAVE OCCUR. WHEN YOU PUT ALL YOUR HEART INTO A MATTER, THE MATTER BECOME A PERMANANCE IN THE TIME OF UNIVERSE.

  3. Hi Fashi,

    Q: so u want to light for 1day/1year/1lifetime/ infinitely?

    A: I guess you are not referring to all the physical light lamps that we will be lighting up this sunday.

    It is our internal heart lamp that matters, keep it burning indefinitely and shower all the sentient beings with warmth and light.

    Cheers.

  4. We will be lighting them on 31-12-2011 which is a Saturday. U guess right! I am referring to the lamp within, that is our Heart Chakra. I also asked: How to keep it burning infinitely and you are right too with the Boddhicitta angle of lighting up to share/shower all with Warmth & Light.
    Hip Hip Hooray!!!

    Hahaha!
