Bad?/Good?

Terjemahan Indonesia :

• Buruk?/Baik?

From emails conversation:-

Fashi,

Why is it that the more a person is onto him/herself,
the more his/her energy projection is swirling around uncomfortably.
I don't know how to explain, and perhaps others won't feel it as well,
but this is still strange.

Sometimes we don't need to use the third eye to examine certain persons,
by just observing at their physical behaviour is enough to conclude whether something is going wrong or not.
Even those who have taken the Bodhisattva vow but fail to observe their behaviours can't escape the bad projection either.
Now I'm asking, what are they taking the vows for?!

Am I crazy or what?
Now I understand what you wrote on your email yesterday.
Sharing the dharma is still okay, but to guide them in the path is way another problem.
Being mindful for ourselves is sometimes not easy either haha.

Cheers.

Hahaha!

First of all, do not attempt to second guess why others do these n that

You create sufferings for yourself

Lots of people go blindly into things without true understanding

Taking vows without Sincere intent is for show as some of them are "Somebody" in certain temples n they want to be standing in front of others

Power chase!

They also want to be leaders of ceremonies!

How many genuinely wanted to share Dharma and happiness with all?

Pure Karma's regulars know what is the vows all about and willing to make a wish to better the lot of all sentient beings, you see at certain sessions when they all put on the full gears

We have more than 10 of them that had taken the vows upon my advice

Yes! one don’t need a 3rd eye to observe others, as Guru said: all we do are cultivation!

Hahaha!

What do you consider Bad Behaviour? Hahaha!

Actually we have to be Mindful of our observations.

Like the view I had of VL, I have to make sure I am objective and also must not be too obvious as to cause harm

But lotus B went and put him into the limelight

I make things pretty close to obvious last year about the central meeting and voting against Guru's statement of wearing the tolga for tantrayana which is TBS' leanings

However, as Guru has Taoist, Buddhist .... leanings, it is truly up to individual to choose which he is more prone too as well

Guru does not like to use force which resultant is unhappiness

I also become pretty obvious when the Dharma propagator gave a Sales talk and not a Dharma Speech!

There is a limit to what they can do to harm others, and I actually acted GOD when I wrote the article that obviously pointed to their shoddy and dishonest ways

It is not good to act GOD at all for a true yogi! Hehe..

I acted Demon too some time but I am sacrificing myself in those instances

It means giving up much of your accumulated cultivation merits

Hahaha! but merits are not important when one has true renunciation, correct?



My retreat has done wonders as I have a better mindset and also 'see' lots clearly while folding lotuses.

My hands busy and my mind too!

Astral Sight -- I am quite clear on each individual emitting light. I am telling all that we are all Light-bodies! It is futile to try and grab on to anything which eventually harm us and dim our light only.

The Chinese article that I put up just now, actually very profound and I might translate it but keep the meaning hidden, just like article itself.

The words are simple but seem to have no meaning on the surface.

Just like the pointing sticks articles.

Try to see only good of others to start with.

You can see how they are struggling to be good, see that taking vows means they want to be good and struggling to meet the vows.

After all, Buddha said that everything is Suffering and we have to learn to save ourselves from suffering and attain happiness.

The 4 Noble Truths --- something to live by. Use it all the time.

Start with taking another view, a good view!

Those with bad behaviour are struggling to be good and trying to be good

Hehe!

This will make you more happy too!

As you are actually the same, being mindful of your own Karmic deeds.

Swirling energy that are uncomfortable -- do you agree that you can take it as the good struggling with the bad to break through?

hahaha!

Cheers my dear

Hi Fashi

Many many thanks for reminding me to see only the good things in others.
It alone solves many problems :)

Really fashi, when we don't focus on others, in terms of letting them be, we can feel a certain serenity over the atmosphere.
I guess this is the positive effect over non-fixation.

Thanks again for reminding the pointing out, that externally we see lights (the goodness), and internally don't focus on disturbing emotions.
We're really transforming our mind to be 'pliable' in every sense.

Again thanks for the precious advice.
Cheers :)

Hahaha!

you are most welcome to an old lady's mindless renderings!

just remember the saying: there is 2 sides to a coin!

the wonderful thing about Buddhist philosophy is you can look at more than 2 sides!

hehe....

cheers

Fashi

Always find something new and something to relate to when re-reading the 4 Noble Truths and 8-fold path.
Really most people do underestimate these teachings.

Cheers.
