6-1-2012 A steadfast Heart on the Cultivation Path [2]


From Facebook:- 

Steven Thung 佛法有方便和究竟,一般也從都從方便入究竟比較常見。
無我回向固然是佛要我們做的,也是應該做的,但在方便法門的層次,所謂自度度他,
先處理好自己的問題才來解決別人的問題,也是無可厚非。

所以密教祖師要我們修金剛心法來消除自己切身的障礙,再修上師相應法去相應根本上師的大悲宏願和證量,
這也屬於方便法,否則一下子入究竟,抱著度眾生的大願,視你我平等是佛,我得就是你得,
大家一開始都把自己當成大菩薩修捨身法,理法雖說得通,事法可未必。
[Means: If all started off assuming Self as Maha Boddhisattva and cultivate sacrificing self, theoretically possible but might not be workable in practice.]


所以先有方便,才達究竟。已達究竟,也不需方便,因方便就是究竟,究竟也是方便.
[Therefore, Convenience First, then achieve Eventual. Attaining Eventual, don't need Convenience, because Convenience is Eventual and vice versa.] 

Steven, your comments started off real comprehensive but the last part will confuse many!

I would still like to encourage positive Mindset and not let your own demon dictate to you otherwise,
telling you that you are not ready because you are a big sinner.....

In his case, after a few sessions he is able to clear up, which means he has sincerity and should not go backwards.

His karmic negatives is agreeable to accepting his "sorry" as well.

With your help and encouragement, he is cultivating and also made the effort to come for cultivation for repentance
and offerings too.

It really boils down to Self being ready to do something to correct one's own Karmic influences.

This is what is Control One's Own Destiny 自主生死. Agree?

When will One be ready to drop all and share all?

Hahaha! If your Demon has the say it will be NEVER!

Why did his "darkness" clear so fast?
Sincerity in Intent to Truly Apologize & Make Amends accordingly!

He said I help him while he is cultivating. But he has to be present before I can do anything, correct?

By attending cultivation, he shows sincere intent to correct past negatives!

Means he gave Green Light that we can help him now!

Hahaha! Of course it is GM and Divinities that perform the "Helping" and not a 3-year lotus child like me!!! Hehe..

Francesca Poon Like Wilson, he has progress to the stage to let go and share with all.
See how cheerful Wilson is and how he volunteers to help so happily? 

In this one, they were told that Negatives keep coming non-stop.
The Consultant put fear into these "clients" of his!
Sponsoring a 108 sessions of Fire Puja cost a huge bundle!

Francesca Poon I have only seen GM advised a family to do 9 sessions of chanting to dedicate to their deceased family member who died in a horrible accident. Chanting Diamond sutra for 9 sessions of white matter chanting.
That's in 2009 while I was in Seattle.

Francesca Poon My findings are that 7 sessions of Fire puja is more than enough.

Like the one with stage 4 cancer n the doctors gave him verdict of about 5months to live.
He has exceeded that last year. He attended GM's event n offer Hada too.

Francesca Poon I believe that when one is true-heartedly sincere, GM and Divinities will compassionately help to negotiate and neutralize Negatives unbiasedly.
--------------------------------- 
I recall parts of GM's speech on 7-11-2009 in Seattle ( the session of my maiden dharma speech) --- GM talked about the 3 Levels of Awakening.

1. Knowing that life in sentient world is Suffering - one decide not to return here again.
2. Upon making this decision, one decide to cultivate and ensure that one won't return again. 
3. Having cultivate and attaining Buddhahood, one shares with all and succor all. 

Another one that is when one cultivate, one starts to Make Wish to succor self as well as all beings. This is what 4-immeasurable visualization is all about.

Then one chant the 4-immeasurable verse and the Boddhicitta vows and mantra.
These are all in our Sadhana and they are the basic requisites in our Sadhana too!

The mantra: Om Boddhicitta Bedza Samaya Ah Hom! 
See Boddhicitta in this mantra? Also notice the Om ; Ah ; Hom???
Samaya too!!!
Short and filled with contents???

Amazing, our Root Guru???
Hehe... all you need is included in TBS' Sadhana.

To answer to Lotus Steven: Yes! Right from the start of Cultivation, GM makes it possible for all to let go, sacrifice and share.
