Lotuschef at Play – Regulars of Heavenly Realm



The Blue Elixir Jar, ever flowing of Enlightenment Attainment as per True Buddha Sutra.

Colours of Dharmapalas like my buddies, Acala; Kalachakra; Hevajra; …………

One of my Yidam – Bhaisajyaguru too!

Let us embark on a new journey in step with Guru with Buddha Dharma.

In the video that recorded the master’s speech [Heavenly Eye and Building Temple], she also recounted her experience of attending a conference upon invitation, of persons with Astral Powers!

She said they could read minds and it seems they can go back and forth to any Heavenly Realm of choice, like going home or for dates or business meetings!

10 minutes ago, as I was re-reading [ Jun 29 ] Lotuschef at Play – Collective Karma, I had a flash vision of an earth quake that hit a spot whereby there is a stubborn tenant who refused to bulge, thereby hindering the progress of development planned for that area.

It is quite a major one causing great loss of lives and the whole world went to help. Guru also did fire puja to bardo deliver the dead and ask blessing for those alive.

In that fire puja, Guru lost 50 starlight bodies, if my memories serves me right.

I saw the fire puja scheduled in Seattle for July and August and my eyes fell on 8月5日 (日) PM 3:00 大自在王佛護摩大法會及喜金剛法要義 ,賜授大自在王佛大救難咒灌頂。

I went in search of this Divinity because I remember vaguely that I posted an article for this one quite some time ago! The Dharmakaya of all Buddhas!

These are shared with me by Lotus NN on 29-6-2012 at 12:36am:
[大自在王佛 is Buddha Mahesvara (Shiva Buddha). Blue coloured with the form of Vairocana Buddha.  {what a coincidence? Blue colour too!}
Shiva in this one refers to Maha Mara Heaven
so the Vairocana Palace is in the centre of the Mara Heaven
and yes, shiva is from the destructive heaven]

So there are persons that are like secret heavenly army, kept by certain organisation to create “man-made disaster” of their choice?

Hahaha! I am shocked when the vision of the lone tenant and the rubbles of what’s left after the quake!

More shocked when parts of the master’s speech came back to mind!

Geezzzzzz! Is this possible?

There is the Realm of Desires where beings still have cravings for luxuries; love – hate; anger; revenge; …..

They have yet to be enlighten too!

Let’s all come back and end our journey for now. This trend of thoughts are too bizarre and unpalatable, best don’t dwell long and deep!

Remember the Karmic angle – those who act God and upset the Universal Balance pay dearly for their individual Karmic deeds or collectively if perpetuated with a team!

See you again!:)

[30-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – 师尊,大福金刚 Guru, the Great Auspicious Vajra


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 30, 2012


Last week, LC invited me to go along with him and his spouse, YC,  to Malaysia.

He has to attend to a client for about half an hour.

LC went to attend the client and YC and I stayed in the car and fold lotuses.

Hehehe! Always folding lotuses! We offered at least 6 X 108 pieces at our Fire Puja sessions weekly. All hands needed to help with these lotuses!

LC came back after about 45 minutes and he was delighted as the client asked him for a quotation to purchase some machines from him.

We had a good time after that, meeting up with my brother and his family and also a fellow student that Guru like me to follow up on.

After returning home, LC quickly sent out a quotation to the client.

He came back from yet another short business trip and we went for dinner.

He said he got the client’s signed purchase order just a week after his visit. The purchase order normally takes about 2 months to be process and reach him.

This is a FIRST! LC and YC are elated.

LC said next time he brings me along on his business trips!!! 

Dear all, I told LC it is Guru’s blessing and nothing to do with me lol!

Don’t come tearing to locate me please.

Remember that Guru is the Great Auspicious Vajra, 师尊,大福金刚 ?



LC and YC has been instrumental in the set up of Pure Karma. Also sponsoring most of the fire puja offerings too and working hard to make each session a resounding  success as well.

I think all attendees of Pure Karma’s events should thank these two for their sincere and compassionate sharing. How many of you or your loved ones benefited from cultivation at Pure Karma?

I have said before: When One is willing to share, Guru and all Divinities will ensure you have plenty of resources to continue to share!

Heartfelt thanks to these wonderful couple and may Guru continues to bless you two with plenty of resources to share even further around the globe!

[**PS: Guru said the 4 Heavenly Kings are Fortune Gods and they are foundation pillars of Mount Sumeru. LC is the Southern Heavenly King!

Just recall LC's dream of finding Golden Spiders together with me!  ]

Cheers all.

[30-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – Time to Wake Up My Dear Friend?


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 30, 2012


Orange is Abundant auspiciousness in True Buddha Sutra. Flowing in everlasting abundance for my dear friend ZG.

Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom!



This a a dear friend, ZG, that I met about 7 months after refuge in True Buddha School. He took refuge with Guru at an event after reading an event brochure and decided to go have a look.

He reads lots of books on Buddhism.

We found we are like long lost family! Both born in the same year and just 6 months apart.

When I went to Seattle, he came along and help me tremendously.

I went to ask Guru whether my dream of going home to Pureland means I have to renounce sentient home and “join the team at home” in Pureland.

Instead, Guru welcomes me and say good good. Patting me on my shoulders and my head.

Grand mistress asked me about my family and she said I need a medical check up to certify that I am fit and free from any communicable diseases that will infect those sharing the dormitory with me.

I need photos for the application forms for ordination and trainee course. I need to find a doctor to do the relevant medicals.

Thanks to a fellow reverend who brought me to a doctor she consults regularly, I got the medicals done. ZG was the one that rented a car and drove us around to get the medicals and required tests done. We also went to get instant photos from some supermart.

The monk that is in charge, is supposed to help me with medicals but didn’t. His mother gave me contact of a doctor that has already moved away. A week before the Mayura event where I am going to be ordinated, the monk jeered at me and said: I think you won’t be able to chujia  this round!  我看你这次没法出家了!

I answered: O! your mom gave me the doctor’s contact already! [Hahaha! guess how comic he looks then? His mom betrayed him!]

This is the only hindrance to my becoming a lama!

The monk just couldn’t figure who is helping me run around too!

My sincere and deep felt thanks to ZG, my brother, my friend, my fellow student!

I submitted the Ordination application on Wednesday afternoon and took ordination few days later, on Saturday, 5 September 2009. It is ZG’s birthday too!

ZG was the one that showed me his altar from his iphone after RD.

I took a glance but a voice said to me: you remember who set his altar?

Actually, that brief glance, I saw Padmasambhava being squeezed at a corner on the Dragon side, and he is not comfortable, when the photo is taken. I think he left not long after the photo was taken.

I met ZG not often, but every time I see, he don’t look good. Once, his face is very red and he and another student seems to be learning inner tantra, physic heat, from one of XX’s staunch follower, the one who is wearing a wig due to severe balding. I can feel their energies is not right and likely to get burnt. So I just hint hint and caution them to be very careful.

Once I am sharing Bindu Bodhicitta or bright spot 明点菩提心, he came to attend the session and he raised a question which is pertinent, but shows he didn’t understand Buddha Dharma to the level needed for inner tantra. At least, it showed he is paying attention and eager to learn.

As I stopped going to the local temples after seeing the green lights in XX’s eyes, I didn’t get to meet ZG much, except in the airport going to Taiwan to attend Guru’s events.

Sometimes I repent for bringing him into XX’s territories. Hahaha! Guru said these are what he has to go through and I have to wait for time to wake him up.

Guru said there are too many of them, blinded by external forms and artificial packaging, we have to let them walk that path and time will come to pull them out, be it this lifetime or the next or even many subsequent lifetime…

It is not a good feeling to see a dear brother, friend, fellow student, be led down a dark path, however, one do not upset Universal Balance without facing consequences!

I am a coward! No! Knowing Buddha Dharma, everything has to run its course.

Once Guru gives the Green Light, I will act immediately!

My dear brother, please do not walk too far!

[30-06-2012] Lotuschef at Play – Mindfulness


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 30, 2012


Red for Good Affinity. Red is also Fire in the 5 Elements. It signifies energy and strength too.


Let us start our journey again, in step with Guru and the Noble 8 Fold Path….

Let us look at Mindfulness.



hi rd, after reading the build temple, heavenly eye, … do u understand how not to look on the surface only?

SM has a Title, this does not mean what she said is all true or she understands clearly, and  all that she sees.
the longpao sheng ji fa – I ask guru to help you all that were lied to and cheated. write to them officially for a refund.

as to the donation for statues, that one has to wait until they can’t build the temple. Also the lots you all bought for ancestors and  karmic negatives, cannot do anything yet.

cheers

Think:

Rd said I am very similar to a certain Titled master in outlook.

1. Maroon toga – I didn’t need to hesitate which to choose, because I can only hear Guru’s instruction.

2. A temple will get build if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas find a need for such a premise in a certain location. The hindrances she faced in building a temple upon her own insistence is very much different from my leaving it all to Root Guru.

Pure Karma started to build a virtual temple in 2010 October without any of us being aware and it now spans the whole globe! The “temple” got build without facing legal authorities and sentient minded sector’s authority as well. No pains and not much resources employed.

It all seem so effortless upon reflection! 

3. Heavenly Eye – It is not only located in the centre of the forehead but in every single cell!

4. Bell and Dorje – She said she used these non-stop for hours, cruising around a big lake to cleanse all the water creatures in that lake.

I only need to point the dorje at a seed syllable Hom that I drawn in the sky and beam light at it, it will in turn becomes like the Sun, shining and lighting every corner as it reaches far and wide.

In Tantrayana, we learn to help more and widen our scope as well as our hearts, reaching out compassionately to all sentient beings with methods that seem effortless.

Why effortless? Because of Bodhicitta which is the very essence of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. We are able to cover the whole Universe.

I hope everyone realise what you are doing and why you are doing so during cultivation.

Look inwards for answers and do not be blinded by external packaging.

The student is among one of many that were being lied to, that the sheng ji fa is endorsed by Guru and blessed by Guru.  However, Guru didn’t even give any empowerment transmission for this practice, what more with a Dragon Robe in place of the Geomancy auspicious spot!

I think as we are all members of a large family, TBS, we should apologise and make good any wrong doing as fast as possible.

I also sincerely hope we do not let any of these masters play any of us for fools Anymore! No wonder they can travel  business class all over the world! 

If students lodge civil suits, these masters would not be able to enter any countries whereby they are found guilty. I humbly suggest they cough out what that really should not belong to them and apologise.  Guru said going to court waste resources only!

I also suggest that the said Dragon robe be burn, like food left too long, bacteria will flourish! These bacteria will infect those “food” items present in the enclosed space. Please inform all to witness the burning too. 

To all affected, please stay calm. I am sure the temple’s chairperson will come to a favourable decision to your favour. As being the chair person, her words supersedes all.

Listen to Guru and don’t fall prey to any confident tricksters or any liars in any packaging.

We arrived at the end of our journey today. Not a very palatable lesson, but we have to accept the ups and downs in our path.

Cheers all. See you all again.

[29-06-2012] Lotuschef at Play – Collective Karma


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 29, 2012



Yellow signifies Health and Auspiciousness. These all overflow from the Elixir Pot in Immeasurable Abundance for all sentient beings with Affinity! 

I am showing Differentiation / Discrimination / Segregation?

Let us walk in Step with our Beloved Root Guru, Living Buddha Lian Sheng, yet again on the Noble 8 Fold Path of Discovery!

This is without prejudice! 

Excerpts from : [ Mar 29 ] Layperson Measures Buddha – Flash lights

One’s Buddha nature do not increase or diminish; do not change with environmental stimuli; …….. can Guru’s Buddha nature or spirit pop out from fear?

I sincerely hope that those in authority asked Guru and not come to their own conclusion and stop students from taking pictures for records and memories sake.

I also sincerely asked that all be discerning and observant and don’t follow others’ instructions blindly or enforce others’ personal deductions upon fellow students and all sentient beings.

Remember Buddha also teaches something called : Impermanence!

Things are ever changing around us, armed yourself well with Dharma to succour self as well as others. Find the Path with your own wisdom.

Only a Buddha will not be affected by Impermanence.

What others fed you might be lethal!

Story time over!

Now work with your brains!

Think:

What do I mean by “Layperson Measures Buddha”?

I will be nice and give you the answers: This student is a Titled master and obviously has never yoga with his Root Guru at all! 

his Root Guru? - hypothetically, each of us should have one Root Guru only.  However it is possible for some to go seek out other Gurus which they perceived as more powerful and can impart skills to them to make them very powerful in a very short time!

However, This Titled master has made assumption without TRUE KNOWLEDGE of what a Living Buddha is all about! 

From his misconception, he gave orders to stop all flash light photography immediately and those that carried out his orders blindly as well, become involved in Collective Karma of Creating Suffering to a large number of Sentient Beings.

The master initiated Suffering of Grievances for unfair/unjust treatment through something called: Ignorance in Buddha Dharma’s perspective.

Therefore, I hinted to all to Find the Path with your own wisdom as what others fed you might be lethal!

If you follow the lead of an ignorant one, without using your own wisdom, you will get dragged into the quagmire of his karmic negatives jointly.

Studying and understanding Buddha Dharma, you can save yourself from unknowingly falling into negative territory and might even be able to halt the negatives from being created!

Students asked why they cultivate daily but still have so much karmic negatives?

From the above example, I hope sincerely you understand what guru said: know what you can do and what you can’t!

As for those that think I am crazy or mad, because I teach you something that is different or even completely opposite from what some Titled masters taught you; I hope you listen to Guru only!

O! when you accused me of “talking bad” about Sanghas – the criteria is whether they are True Sanghas or not!

Explaining the Truth is not Talking Bad!

Concealing the Truth and agreeing with anyone’s Lies or Untruth constitutes Lying or Cheating Collectively which is Collective Karma!

Let me give examples:

A group of lawyers help their client, DC, to lie in Court to cheat his spouse and children financially. They created Collective Karma! Anyone on DC’s side that has a hand in this matter are all Collectively involved!

Let me point out how these Collective Karma return.

A whole plane full of passengers and crew died from plane crash. Some that are not involved with them, did not manage to board the plane for some reason.

A whole vessel full of passengers on a cruise died when the vessel sank.

Earth quake split the earth and a large number of people and living beings dropped in together. [even animals; insects; .... ]

The quite recent Tsunami that took lots of lives collectively from different parts of Asia at almost the same time.

Natural Disasters are all end results of Collective Karma of a group of beings!

Seeing things clearly with the knowledge of Buddha Dharma is very important, correct?

Does anyone still thinks I am crazy and talking bad about others?

Before you accused anyone, think deeply and go the Buddha Way, use the 4 Noble Truths and the Noble 8 Fold Path first!



Pick up any good stuff from this journey?

Enjoyed yourselves?

Cheers all.

[29-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – Effective Bardo and Karmic Negatives [2]


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 29, 2012



[My dear Bt, the spirits in the hungry ghost realms n etc are all covered by the tubs of 108 lotuses each and I have a lingpai to deliver the offerings to them.

we have increased to 2 x108 pcs nowadays and most of the time we are busy folding lotuses! Hehe!

The spirits in the hungry ghost realms or other realms, Guru will ensure they get the offerings from us as we give to all n never differentiate who we give to.

bl always contribute $20 to sponsor incense n lotuses for the homeless spirits n etc

hn & cs sponsor $100 each session.

You can chip in any amount or help fold more lotuses or buy more incense for them

For this category, it is any amount you like, because I encourage all to care for the less fortunate, whatever their karma, we would like to help them n give them a chance to repent and pay back their debts so that they can go to a better place n hopefully can cultivate to save themselves too.]



[about the hungry ghosts realm, is this what bl is asking me  n not clear about it?

want to tell me more?

acala or 不动明王, his lasso can draw out any ghost or spirit

do you have names?]



[Not sure what Bl ask you.

Just that recently the vision of ws mum came into my mind. She died of colon cancer and was very  thin when she passed away. Her thin image came into my mind recently. Coincidentally Ws also dreamt of his mum like this.

Then recently I came across an article writing of a story in hell where the souls were given super long chopsticks to eat but can't feed themselves anything cos chopsticks were too long (unless they feed the soul sitting opposite them).

Thus, my reason to ask as Ws mum was my closes aunt and hope to do something for her (just in case she's in that realm).



It's interesting how things unfold and present themselves. Remembering last when I was pondering myself on Bai Zi Ming Zhou and Fashi coincidentally post an article on BZMZ on FB.

Sometimes Things happen for a reason not just coincidence  ]



[she asked why always register for bardo but the people still in ghost realms n etc

so must be ws'  mom



ws also talk to me about his mom.

I told him to look at her properly:

1. is she happy?

2. is she dress properly - not in rags

3. does she has enough to eat n look satisfied

4. is she sitting on lotus

if its w's mom, means someone didn’t do a proper bardo for her

if she don’t look happy then she needs help

let’s see what we can do, it’s important to have a name if we want to be specific]



[but what would ws  n you all want to do for her?

First dedicate merits of chanting or charity to her

then help her to cleanse her karma and have to guiyi her negatives

w did the negatives guiyi for her on 16-6-2012 already

so bardo delivery for her and  her karmic negatives next

guru said cancer is kill too many in past lives or this one

w still have not tell me how his mom looks when he sees her

I think if u see her too, I guess she is asking for help to leave sufferings of the realm she is in



my records show w did a package to dedicate to her karmic negatives on the 16-6-2012

so she and her karmic needs bardo delivery

talk to w n let me know]

HI Fashi,

Can we do a bardo delivery for her in this fire puja?
I have been dedicating merits to her whenever I chant.

I saw my aunt face (the sunken thin matchstick look when she passed away).
Then W told me about his vision on his mum later that night and I thought it wasn’t a mere coincidence.
Following 2 days after my dinner with A, my static was so strong…
my whole body was so dry and very compulsive headache (could be due to heatiness too, ha!).
But felt better after I chanted bai zi ming zhou 108 times.

I have spoken to W and he will email you later on his vision on his mum.

It’s good that we can apply what we learn for the needy 

Thanks Fashi.



[A  has very bad aura.

Bai zi Ming n GAO Wang is good with Visualization

I guess right, Bl asking why bardo not effective.

Your aunt keep appearing n don't look good means she need help.

ZZ did the bardo?



Remember always to include karmic when u help anyone. Else the karmic will attack u n also prevent u helping too

Cheers]



[Ya. ZZ did the bardo.

Or is it becos my aunt karma is so bad that she can’t receive bardo?
Now I worried for my dad too cos ZZ did Bardo for him.

I dun understand your last sentence “always to include Karmic”. What is Karmic? ]

[29-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – Effective Bardo and Karmic Negatives


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 29, 2012



dear ws

remember I told u to look at her carefully when you see her.

skinny and  looking sad and slowly walking back into the temple. 

she is obviously unwell, not eating well….

where is this temple where her urn is?

bt told me Hungry ghost realm and that is not possible if you see her in a temple where her urn is.

bl’s questions are too vague that I don’t know how to answer her

however, since she keeps appearing to you n bt, guess she  is unhappy n she is sort of asking for help.

I guess also that ZZ did the bardo as bl said all relatives from your family branches all done by him

Well, you go sit and visualize her n ask her to show u whether she wants to change a place to “live” or what she needs. 

If she is sickly, and not getting enough food or she needs medicine….

did u look at her clothes properly? are they tethered and torn? 

Did you learn to fold clothing from me or helen or sean?

use a variety to fold clothes for her. I will teach u on Saturday.

we might need to do another bardo for her as well as her karmic negatives,

I can do one in your house if have space one evening but it will cost about 1.2k for her and karmic. so let’s wait and see what kind of help she needs to constantly appear to you n bt recently.

meantime keep offering to her karmic and her too.

since she is in a temple means she still within the lower realms, she needs resources.

pay $10 for a lotus with offering for her during fire puja, I will tell helen shijie to make one for her.

During fire puja, you all present help to offer to all, therefore I did not ask you all to pay for the lotus with offering. However, you mom, can’t take charity from me because she not present to help do offering.



Please give me more details when you have them, so I can properly help you.

For your info and everyone here, this is personal n private consultation, I should charge consultation before I answer any personal questions!!!! 

when u go consult those who can communicate with spirits or claim to be able to, u have to pay consultation too, right? hehehe

anyway, cheers



This I answered Bt: [When we do bardo for a person, we must remember their karmic negatives. 

Even if a person dies, their karmic debts might not be paid up. Therefore their karmic enemies will prevent them from leaving to pure land or heaven or where ever.

Where we go is dependent on our karmic level.

Your father? U ask Sn. We talked a lot about your dad.

Have time read more of my blog or watch Guru's dharma speeches. ]

[29-06-2012] Lotuschef at Play – Grievance Frequency at New High!


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 29, 2012

Terjemahan Indonesia: Lotuschef Bermain-main – Frekuensi keluhan yang sungguh tinggi!



The Gold mani stone – my dear buddy, Ksitigarbha has one and the Sun is another! Emerging from a Golden Lotus of great luminosity, Karma is purified!

Lets embark on our journey once again. Remember to bring Guru and your Noble 8 Fold Path!



A grievance is a wrong or hardship suffered, which is the grounds of a complaint.

The recent Truths that finally emerges after Guru’s speech about never transmitting the Sheng ji fa – chance of new and better life method and also Fengshui to any one in TBS!

Many who were told that Guru endorsed their doing the sheng ji fa. In fact a temple did these with a Dragon Robe supposedly gifted by Guru for this practice!

Well, it seems the hundreds of students that paid hefty sum for themselves and their family for this method of changing one’s destiny for a much improved one, were tricked and somewhat cheated!

What is their recourse?

Make a complaint to the local authorities and seek refunds?

Jointly take our civil suits against the temple?

I know that some borrowed money to subscribe to this practice.

Grievance Levels are high and reached Guru already!

How to settle this matter amicably?

All these resulted from Greed on all sides, however, a place where Buddha Dharma is supposedly shared should not lie to get monetary returns.

Those going to temples expect to be treated with honesty.

Ever consider the Karmic returns of such massive cheating and dishonesty?

Selling Buddhas?

My humble advice: Apologise to all involved and try to give them refund as well.

What is the Future of this temple? Ask Guru!

The team of masters that went round giving Fengshui/personal consultation every time they hit town, they reap much too. For those that had Renounce Sentient Home, or opted for Monkhood, the Precepts of lying and cheating is not to be ignored. Act fast to make amends and succour yourselves.

With high grievances against you, there is no escape at all!

[**PS: For those that were given false information about Root Guru endorsing the practice and also believe that the respective masters and personnel of the temple had the relevant empowerment transmission from Root Guru, this is my humble suggestion:

First write to the temple that weren't Truthful and misrepresented about the Dragon Robe Chance of new and better life method [龙袍生基法]; ask for a refund and settle amicably. As a member of a big family, try to keep all these out of the Courts. ]

[29-06-2012] Lotuschef at Play – Titles are for Sentient Minded only!


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 29, 2012





Elixir Pot = True Buddha Tantric Dharma.

Blue is Suppressing or harnessing Greed/Hatred/ Ignorance/ Ego/ Pride / Desires….

Blue is also Bhaisajyaguru/Medicine Buddha – Healing.

Water in the 5 Elements and many others.



Let us begin our journey again with Guru along the Noble 8 Fold Path.

Without Prejudice! 

These are to brainstorm the sleeping mind only and not personal attacks on anyone that they feel might fit the bill! It is my sincere wish to help all use Buddha Dharma to live a happier and healthier life only. 

Yester morning I received an email about some new administrative decision.

Well, like a certain local temple’s chair person: I am the chairperson,  what I say go!

[我是主席,我说了算!]



Hahaha! This is quite similar though to the contents of the email.

It seems there will be no voting of Chair person from now on at all general administrative meeting! That means the Chair person stay on continuously and even with changes to members of the administrative committee, the chair person remains.

What’s the problem?

The chairperson here is the named successor of a Buddhist sector! Also a Monk! There should not be any Political Struggle to fight for or seize control from the successor at all.

Hahaha! Didn’t you listen to what your Root Guru said about this successor?

He is strict and uncompromising and is good in Administrative work! He has yet to practice and cultivate diligently.



Now use your wisdom and the Noble 8 Fold Path:-

Think: Does a Buddha wants to attend meetings and discuss mundane matters?

Does it matter to a Buddha what the Sentient Minds perceive?

Do you agree that all Buddhas will give their all to make sentient beings happy?

Is strict; uncompromising; Titles; control; … what a True Buddha needs?

Hahaha! Getting my drift? happier now?



Let me make you all even happier! 

Think of Monk here as a sacrificial lamb; doing the mundane stuff that True Buddhas don’t want to be bothered about. True Buddha resides in the Universe, whereas people like successor are stuck to the Sentient Realm dealing with Sentient Matters; Entangled by the Immeasurable Sentient Tentacles and if not careful, might become completely engulfed and become like a Timeless Hell!

For a sincere and diligent yogi, do you want to fight for this quagmire in Disguise or hidden behind the Title? I really don’t think so, correct?

Sentient beings will die for these useless and lethal Titles, but Buddhas would not!

You choose Buddha Or Sentient being?

Everything is dependent on Self Cultivation, why seek Suffering for possession of Sentient Materials?

Hehe! See how Amazing is Buddha Dharma? Looking from more that One Angle or Perspective makes you realise you had a lucky escape?

Whew! [release a relaxing breath and wipe sweat from your forehead!]

 Cheers.

Had fun? Do join me again, on my next journey in Step with Guru and the Noble 8 Fold Path!

I met Lotus PL recently and he said he has his final examination late June to July. He can’t attend any of our cultivation sessions as he is preparing for the examination and sitting for them too.

I also asked him about our Jakarta event and he said examination still not finish by then.

Well, I met him while out to dinner yester evening.

He said he dreamt of me and Guru and he has to offer a 6-tier cake to celebrate Guru’s birthday during our fire puja on this coming Saturday!

I am just as surprised by his change of mind and coming to attend fire puja cultivation!!!

He has a paper on Sunday morning too!

Well, Guru said: this one is also your ex-disciple!!!

Recall I shared that in a chat with Guru, I said these students seems to be my disciples from previous lifetimes.

Guru waves his hands and he said, look at these, there are more coming!

He means these past students will soon surfaced.

Well, there is yet another that Guru showed me today!

Statements in some movie like : we will meet in our dreams! Lets hope we can meet again in our dreams……

Seems not dreams but real life! Alas, life is a a dream as per Guru. 

I am not shock easily now though. Got use to Guru’s amazing ways.

by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 28, 2012

Let us begin our journey again on the Noble 8 Fold Path.

True Buddha Tantra Dharma is the Longevity Elixir! Green signifies Dharma Treasures and in this article :- The Noble 8 Fold Path.

In the 5 Elements – Green is Wood or Feng [Wind].


Let me gives some background history first….

1. Monk SR warned Nun LC on her first day as trainee in a temple : Guru said I have HORNS! See how I am going to “take care” [对付] of you. [The Chinese words means he will take care of ill-treating Nun LC or stepping on her!]

Nun LC was shocked by this attack of hostility on her first day!

Another Nun XM started asking SR, why he threatened and try to frighten a new trainee. They started a heated argument then.

Well, Nun LC recovered from the shocked and smile and walked away!

I wrote about this story previously. LC used key points from Diamond Sutra to defused this hostile attack!

2.  SR came up to Nun LC again. Coincidentally, Nun XM is also present. Both nuns were cleaning the altar and changing offerings on the Main altar where their Root Guru’s picture resides on the “Dharma Throne”.

SR said to Nun LC loudly, you are so filthy rich, you build temple la, build temple then Guru will promote you to Acharya.

Hahaha! This time, Nun LC  just stared at him for a while with a smiling face and walked away to continue her chores.

Once again, SR and Nun XM started yet another heated arguments. It seems Nun XM said SR is too much already, misappropriating temple’s fund; accepting bribes for special privileges with Guru; his mother also his co-conspirators; ………

SR shouted loudly for Nun XM to shut up immediately or else punished her with kneeling to Joss-sticks [means kneel until the time that joss-sticks burn out. Can be an hour or more.]

3. Being unused to the cold weather where the temple is located, Nun LC caught a cold.  She passes SR on the steps down, going away from the temple. SR was ascending towards temple proper. He said: You are too filthy rich, if you give me all your $$$ then you will not be sick! 财多身子弱![means being too rich, one naturally has a weak body or constitution.]

Hahaha! The Greedy Monster with Horns showing his true facade!!!

Nun LC was instructed by Monk L, JY’s good friend, in her home town, before she goes for ordination and training,  to give offering to SR and buy him meals, when she meets him. She will have a smoother time if she does so. SR likes unlimited servings of food, therefore treat him Buffet meals so he can eat all he likes and any amount he likes. 

Well now! Does SR means he cast something on LC to make her ill? If so, did he do it so that she will hand over all her $$$ to him?
Wow! Wee! This SR is truly SCARY!!!

4. Nun LC was with a group of fellow students and nuns, returning to their dormitory. SR drove into the lay-by and parked the temple’s car. Upon seeing Nun LC happily singing with the group, he said to Nun LC :   你还笑得出, 赫赫! 我还没有发镖呢![means: you can still laugh so happily, herher! I still have not fire darts yet.]

Nun LC Smilingly said : 出家人慈悲为怀![means one that has renounced sentient realm, always has a compassionate disposition.]

SR: 慈悲为怀? 哼! [Compassionate disposition? Hen! (sneers) - he means compassionate my foot!]

SR thinks Nun LC is asking him to be compassionate towards her!

He thinks because of his official position, every one need to be subservient to him!

Nun LC means she has a compassionate heart towards him and did not take any measures to counter his hostility but instead pity his ignorance.

5. SR to Nun LC: Shangshi [Monk L, JY's friend] said you are very disobedient! You just watch out!

Another monk LT by SR’s side also added that: You must listen to your seniors!

I have also written about some of the above in less detail previously.



With Noble 8 Fold Path: Let’s have fun!!!

SR obviously has no idea what are the Disciplines and Precepts a monk should abide by!

He is still very very sentient minded and orientated. Do readers agree?

Think! why did SR thinks his official position enables him to bully fellow students and rip them off to enrich his sentient material possession?

Think! how ignorant SR is that he perceived HORNS as Power?

Think! why did he think having HORNS means he has Great Power to control others and bring them to heel?

Think! does he knows something call MINDFULLNESS? Did he observes in what context his Guru said he has HORNS in a public speech and broadcast LIVE online too?

Think! demanding Nun LC’s $$$ in exchange for her well being? SR is not aware he is threatening a fellow student with his ability to make her ill, if he so please?

Think! Why should anyone, bribe him to have a smoother time in the training school? Isn’t  this a Buddhist training school for those that had already Renounced Sentient Home?

[**PS: I have edited the above and removed the Monk from in front of SR's name. Only the initial introduction denotes SR as a Monk. To me, he falls extremely short of the Title - Monk!

Therefore I am not breaking or breaching any precepts nor disciplines by using him as an example for my "zen" stories! Do you all  agree he has to be a True Monk or Sangha First?  ]

Well, thanks to our beloved Root Guru, we are happily Walking in Steps with him on the Noble 8 Fold Path and enjoying highlights along our way!

Enjoying yourself?

Game to join us again?

[28-06-2012] Lotuschef at Play – Where is the Heavenly Eye



by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 28, 2012


Hahaha!

Are you ready to journey with me on a fun trip to explore and look for the Heavenly Eye?

Where do you think the Heavenly Eye is located?

I watched a video 2days ago by a certain master. This video is forwarded by Lotus RT who perceived that the master and I are very similar in outlook.

Please refer to :-

Let us now start our journey……….

I shared one Guru’s article whereby Guru asked a reverend: Which eye did you see with?

The Reverend thinking that Guru is into Zen conversation pondered for a while and replied: My Heart!

Of course this is my take only.

Why did he answered Guru with “My Heart” ?

Hahaha!

Guru then ask him where is his heart and he was silenced!

Guru said his answer would be whole body of Eyes!

He means – Immeasurable!

My point: Why did Reverend second guess Guru’s simple question? This is similar to my articles: Layperson Measures Buddha!

Back on our journey……

Avalokitesvara has a manifestation that is Thousand Arms & Thousand Eyes.

On the 9 -6 – 2012, Guru said Maha Cundi has 7 eyes.

In the same speech, Guru said whole body of Eyes or in every cell.

Notice I brought up that Guru seems to draw reference to the 5 Senses in recent speeches?

Remember in my articles: Power of Mantra [1] and [2]?

The little girl M said she shuts her eyes because she is afraid to see the Spirits. However, once she shuts her physical eyes, all the other Eyes opened or become active!
She can “see” a greyish green mass and hear hissing voice talking to her!

Hahaha! This is normal!
One’s body natural defensive reaction.
When One can’t see, the other senses work harder to compensate for the lack or lag. 

In the video speech I watched, the master keeps pointing to her Heavenly Eye’s “located somewhere in the middle of her forehead” when she makes references to her Sightings!

Unlike me, she seems to think that her Heavenly Eye has only ONE and located in the Middle of her Forehead! 

Hehe! Pick up my trend of thoughts?

Without Prejudice:- The master is like most sentient beings that made her own deductions from pictures and hearsay and is really not what she claims, do readers agree? 

Walking the Noble 8 Fold Path is such fun, right? 

1. Right view          2. Right intention   3. Right speech            4. Right action 

5. Right livelihood 6. Right effort          7. Right mindfulness  8. Right concentration



Enjoy the journey with me on the Noble 8 Fold Path?

Do you join me again!  :)

[28-06-2012] Lotuschef at play – 如来神掌 Buddha’s Divine Palm


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 28, 2012

When I am a kid, this 如来神掌 is a series of kungfu movies about righteous knight that overcome and defused many bad people who are also very skilful in all kinds of kungfu and use of weapons too.


I was folding paper lotuses for our fire puja events and I recalled the last or concluding episode . Ya! it left a very deep impression on my mind!

The Divine palm has many levels and the Knight or hero was in great danger.

His guru died before teaching him the last level of  Divine palm.

Well, let me detour a little bit…. 

These palm techniques can employ inner strength to move “air” to ward off attackers.

As the level become higher, the strength increases and can be lethal if the practitioner use Full strength!

The person that killed his Guru with a very lethal comb-like weapon smeared with poison is now going to kill our hero too.

Hahaha! No worries! Of course the Hero will eventually Triumph and defeat the bad guys.

Running away from his attacker, he came to the run down and deserted temple where his Guru died. He found some palm prints on a big urn with 3 “legs” support. [Those we see in large temples, where people poke lighted joss sticks for offering.] This one is empty!



He found the palm prints were all those he already mastered. HOW?

Thinking that his Guru died before transmitting the last palm technique, he broke the urn to  destroy the palm prints so that they would not fall into evil hands.

Hahaha! Guess right? Or you have seen this show too?

The last one is on the inside of the urn!!!

Now its getting to the point I want to share! 

The last print or palm technique is called : 万佛朝中 Ten Thousands Buddhas Face Centre!

Of course he defeated the bad guys!

Well, the Ten Thousands Buddhas Face Centre is what I want to share. 

Guru said on 10-6-2012 that our body can merge or yoga with 36 thousands Buddhas!

So Ten Thousands Buddhas is small matter lol!

It brings to mind my visualization of Borobudur and Gaowang Sutra.

So there is some Truth in some of these kung fu or sword fighting movies!!! 

Do you agree with me that In Amazing Tantrayana, techniques and methods are Truly Immeasurable?

I suddenly remember our JY and his buddy, B, who said: fashi can’t watch movie!!!

Cheers all!

[27-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – Lost Parts of Spirit 失魂


by ADMIN on JUNE 27, 2012



Lost Parts of your Spirit 失魂 - wrote this article 5 Jan 2012.

One of the subject is Indonesian. Someone told me that he saw students kneeling in front of XX during a consultation session. The scene is quite creepy.

Dear all, this is yet another way to distinguish a true yogi!

We are all equal, therefore there is no need to kneel to someone who is a fellow student.

I normally stop anyone kneeling and giving me offering.

This is cultivation too!

One – humbleness, two – all are equal.

XX is not our Guru, just a student like us.

Please be more wary of people that put themselves high up and look down at you kneeling humbly in front of them.

I have cleaned up a lot of students from XX and the other one I mentioned starting wen shi session around midnight! This one has a horse-like face already!

The symptoms that I see in local students are the same as the Indonesian student. Somehow their spirits got “lost”!

Please remember do not let any one other than Root Guru touch you or give you blessing! You might have a part of your spirit “stolen” from you! Or your “yang” energy stolen!

Why pay to harm yourself?

Like the Sheng ji fa – which is supposed to alter your destiny or fate for the better, giving you a chance of a new and better life. Guru said if the person didn’t do it right for you, your fate might likely turn real bad!

Why bring this up?

I saw yet some more having the same symptoms! O! No!

So instead of getting blessing or empowerment, you paid for someone to steal part of your soul!

Symptoms: – pale; tired; not aware of your surrounding most of the time; frighten easily; nervous; jump at the slightest sound; fearful of meeting people; stay home most of the time; frequent headaches; breathless for no reason; generally lost interest in most matters; ….

All kinds of medical tests turn up negative! The doctors can’t find anything wrong with you!

The most significant is when the one that stole part of your spirit is in town and hosting an event, you just some how have to go or else you feel like you are going to die!

I have calls from anxious relatives that their brother or sister is going to commit suicide! Hahaha! When the look for a junior like me, I know they have already gone through XX and many others like XX or the one with the “horse-like” face.

If this is what happen to you or your friends or relatives; seek help from Guru.

Send a recent photo to Guru asking for blessing and telling him the problems you are facing lately and medical science can’t find a reason for you to be like that. Guru will know what to do for you.

I am telling the Truth. Just hope this do not happen to you or your loved ones.

For those that have recovered, please listen to Guru closely, cultivate diligently and protect yourself!

Many of these unscrupulous students are just like acting out a show; they have no yoga with Guru at all. Therefore they don’t have the power to bless you at all! However, some that might have picked up some dark arts somewhere to help them in acting the part. Don’t be fooled!

[26-06-2012] Lotuschef in Conversation – Building Temples 建庙


by LOTUSCHEF on JUNE 26, 2012



Purple is Dignified! Pure Karma is Dignified but Warm and Compassionate too. We are Immeasurable and ever changing with Nature.



RT sent me a video clip and said this Master very like me in outlook!

With regards to the Maroon Toga versus the Brown ceremonial drape, Empowerment Transfer this master has her own reasons for choosing the Toga from her personal experience. She said she had a long struggle before finally arriving at choosing the Toga and will stay firm with the use of the Toga.

Hahaha! I am the more Fortunate one, I guess. I do not have to withstand “titled peer” pressure and also pressure from central. Thanks to a high authority that prevented me from saying “Hi!” to Guru personally, I always remember to use my own way to talk to Guru.

Also Grateful Thanks to this high authority who said that I have cultivated well and not need to consult Guru personally. All I need do is find time to chat with Guru.

Hehehe! I will always remember his advice and kind words too!

I have no struggle with choice of maroon toga or brown ceremonial drape, I only listen to Guru and no one else. Or to some, they can say I am a Law undo Myself! 

In Tantrayana, all we ever need is our Root Guru, agree? 

Presently, I can say that no one has yet to come real close to what our Root Guru has attained! So why waste time, listening to sundries?

We need only to yoga with Guru and Viola! The world is literally your oyster!

However as an ordinated monk/nun, we don’t need the World to be our oyster!

True Renunciation is the Key for us bald heads!

I am having too much fun and veer from the topic……….

This master faced and still facing lots of hindrances from central and the local authority in building up a temple. The one common factor is that she and I strongly believe that if the temple is going to benefit lots of sentient beings, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will bless the erection of such a temple!

Pure Karma has also erected a temple since October 2010, 2 months after Guru gifted us with a name for our chanting group. Temple’s address: www.lotuschef.org

Hahaha!

Current stats:- 1969 articles and viewership is 89074 from old blogspot and 18569 from this new one = 107,643.  Average viewership of each article is about 55.

It equates to our sharing Buddha Dharma 107, 643 times!!!

Heartfelt thanks to Pure Karma’s team and also all fellow students and readers for accepting our out-stretch hands. You are all an important part of Pure Karma Virtual Temple! 

Now back to the point, many are fixated about erection of a solid structure or one with Form. Therefore one has to give up the equivalent for this Form. Many has never considered the viability or economics of such a Form.

There are many ways to propagate Buddha Dharma! I would use such sums to go the Bodhicitta way and start by helping the needies to build affinity. I would donate or sponsor education for those talented kids from financially burdened families to get a chance to develop their talents and improve their lots.

The story of the monk feeding birds and ants that I shared recently? He shares Buddha Dharma with them while feeding them! Most of them reincarnated to become his followers!

When watching the video, a voice said: she should accept ordination and her troubles/problems will smoothen out.  :)

Hahaha! Comparing her experiences and mine, I do have a great advantage as a bald head!

So her problem is Form and True Renunciation.
