Lotus W: Fashi do you have time to come my house to ann tang? Thanks W.
[ann tang - means set up altar]
LC: What exactly do you want to do?
W: When I meet you at fire puja then I talk to you.
LC: This Saturday don’t have.
W: When is your upcoming puja? Missed 2 rounds already.
LC: Month end. Celebrates Guru’s birthday too.
W: K. See you. I have 8 inch golden mum. Can give away as lucky draw.
LC: Ok. For Indo fahui?
W: You decide.
LC: Why do you need me to set the tang? You can do it yourself lol. You are senior TBS student liao, must have confidence la. I charge for this special request.
W: As this is a once in a lifetime matter, I prefer to do it properly. Also my spouse has just taken refuge.
LC: Ok. So do you want to choose date?
W: No need.
LC: Hahaha! Good! At least you understand No Need to choose date!
W: Will you need to use mirror and etc. to perform the initialization?
LC: If you think need to do that way. However, I don’t do initialization that way. I best tell you that I can’t promise that the Divinities will stay on too.
If you messed up and make them unhappy, they can leave any time they choose. So you must cultivate diligently and be good.
Don’t go around alleging I am a cheat and bluff you.
It is your sincerity that ensures that the Divinities stay, not “my power”, if I have any, that is.
W: I am willing to pay you thousands as long as you willing to do for me.
LC: I still prefer you do it yourself and have more confidence la. I don’t need your money as Guru makes sure I have enough for my needs.
W: Please Fashi, help me.
LC: Ok. give me at least a week of advance notice please.

Hahaha!
To give him peace of mind, I conceded to his request.
Dear all, you really don’t need me or any master to help you set up and initialize your altar.
Sincerity is the Key!
Om Ah Hom Soha! and visualization does it!
Use what Guru teaches you after understanding them.
I agreed based on these factors:
He is sincere about setting up proper altar to do offering to Guru and Divinities.
His spouse has taken refuge at last!
He understand that we don’t need to choose an auspicious date and time to initialize altar. It is dependent on sincere intent of invocation of Guru and Divinities. Time is not an issue at all! So he is wise enough to not be superstitious about good time and etc.
I hope that my doing so will give him confidence in cultivating studiously with the altar. It is Attachment or Fixation on Forms that I am not too happy about though. Well???
I am glad he trust me though!:)
Do you agree that I am a lousy sales person. Telling people to do it themselves and teaching them how too! Hahaha!
Happy Cultivating!
