Lotuschef in Conversation - Letting Go.

Blue in True Buddha sutra is Guo (Fruit)  de (merits) - Fruitful merits. Or Acheivements!  All these gushing forth from the Elixir Pot, spreading out to share with all.

I am very happy for this fellow student that she learned something from my article [ Jul 03 ] Lotuschef in Conversation - Prioritize .

 

BL:  Fashi, Please ignore my first email.

Only me n my 2 daughters will attend the fire puja on July 7.

I want to sponsor $50 for the homeless spirits.

Amituofo

LC: So which one to process?

BL: None. Just sponsor $50 for homeless spirit. Already resend another email.

LC: No need to do karmic,  right?

BL: No need to do karmic this round. The money can b better used to sponsor homeless spirit. After reading your blog on the indo tong men asking for discount, I sit down n analyze n realize we are creating suffering for ourselves by having too many needs. 

Thanks to you and your blog

LC: Hahaha. Good girl!

U can do for old people that don't know how to xiufa. 

For u all don't need. 

Cheers dear

BL: Ok noted. Next round will do

Dear readers,

My recommendation - For those that can cultivate, at the beginning just do about 7 times offerings to karmic negative after you help them to take refuge.

This will normally "soften" them enough to accept your apologies.

Then when you cultivate have them do so by your side too, do this at 4 immeasurable visualization.

Ancestral packages - I normally reduced the prices at certain times;

1. like before Chinese New Year - to give ancestors more resources for the festive seasion

2. cheng ming - also give them resources at this season where descendants go visit and tidy their graves.

3. zhong yuan jie - this is the ghost month and people also pray to their ancestors too.

However, one can do this at any time just for filial piety.

Fetus spirits - if you had aborted fetus, you need to help them take refuge and then do a bardo package for them and offer dedication to them subsequently for 3 to 7 times. How many times to do? Depends on how sincere you are!

You can normally feel like "a stone lifted from your heart" when they accept what you did for them!

Guru said we start by clearing negatives and cultivate resource path.

These are all resource path - filial piety; saying sorry - advance your affinity with more sentient beings; giving offerings; ....

I hope I made things clear and please keep these in mind and don't ask me again! :)
