Lotus Child [3]

Study the pictures of Guru above closely.

The smiling and at peace, at ease disposition of an innocent child that draws the observers.

Simplicity!

Young children are pure and it is the adults that think they need this and that that polluted the children's purity.

Just like us all, thinking we need this and that, in so doing creating suffering for self as well as others.

Like the articles about Sarira and Greed; Dining Privileges: ...... ; these are all what One thinks One must have!

Why?

To show you can afford and self perceived as elevating yourself above others who can't afford the same.

You can buy your way to dine with Guru whereas others can't.

You perceive that dining with Guru, made others look up to you?

You think that your money can buy you more blessing that others?

Observe those that are always surrounding Guru and some even pushed away others to be closer to Guru.

Hahaha! A true child has no cravings for sentient material!

Giving your best and offering what you like most is True Hearted Offering.

Instead of paying a hefty sum for a meal that someone decided on the menu, why don't you find out what Guru truly likes?

Guru likes durians!

Why don't you and others pool funds and ensure Guru has a constant supply, like in Seattle, whereby, Guru has durians most evening!

Guru said that as long as sentient beings are happy, he is happy too!

With better resource management, we can actually put smiles on faces of those needies by ensuring they get a warm meal daily.

Guru has the channels set up world-wide in the form of Lotus Light Charity and Sheng Yen Lu Foundation.

Go support your local branches of Lotus Light Charity or any charitable organisation and start  putting smile on others' faces.

You will find that you actually learn to share and let go of unnecessary sentient material which tie you down and make you want more and more.

:)

Do you need to cultivate sadhana of those powerful/rich deities?

NO! stop chasing and stay focus please.

Are you smiling contentedly and care-freely most of the times, contented with doing your best for others daily?
