Lotuschef at Play – Dharma's Proprietary Rights?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Lotuschef Bermain-main – Hak Milik Dharma?


[ Hi Fashi and AA,
See this link,
http://tbsn.org/chinese2/news.php?classid=1&id=2392
Now TBF restricted us from full copying Guru's articles.
Sigh, one side propagates Dharma but another side restricts it. TBF oh TBF... ]

{ LC: Yes only allowed about 30% of each book. I read the notice.
However, we can do summaries after reading. Hahaha.
It becomes our views after reading. That way even better!
See how much we understand.
Relax. I know what to do.

Last week guru gave me 4 words: 按步就班
Means follow each step n take position or prioritize.

Just now gave me: 量力以为
Means perform or do according to your ability or strength.

We have to adjust n adept to changes as No constant or impermanence is yet another point we have to understand, overcome or live with happily.

Hahaha! Think they will take legal action against a Fashi propagating Dharma online not for monetary gain?
Central forgets that Guru's teachings of Dharma is not govern by any proprietary rights n Guru repeated yesterday that he won't sue anyone!

See where central went against Root Guru's teachings?

Hahaha!

Cheers all :)

I recalled Guru said recently that he can’t write certain topics as they CAN’T SELL!

Statements or Teachings from a Living Buddha should be consider as Sutra part of Dharani, correct?

What ever Guru shares are Dharanis just like Sakyamuni Buddha! Why hinders these sharing to benefit all sentient beings?

Has anyone noticed that all Guru’s recent books came bundle with the same DVD which raised the prices of each book by SGD10. The book use to be SGD12. When you purchase the same in Taiwan, it is without the DVD. Overseas readers are more wealthy?

Publishing unit has a big problem? ):
Has everyone forgotten Guru’s sharing are Dharma materials?
One do not profiteer from sharing Dharma, am I correct?

I always said that if ask cultivation, no charge. However ask personal matters charges apply.

Well, Guru said the same when he started consultation this round, saying only can ask about cultivation or for empowerment transfers.

Now lets be sentient minded and go explore the Publishing Unit, shall we?
How many staffs are maintained by monthly wages?
How many of these are truly necessary?
Profits from sales goes towards sustenance of the very new & posh Literary Outlet at Wufeng? Think of the overheads like rental; power supply; maintenance of wear & tear; ….

Pardon my ignorant view; my take is this becomes a Great White Elephant, as the location is not convenient enough to encourage regular visits. Commercializing a Buddha’s sharing is not as per Buddhist Disciplines.

An Australian lady that has taken refuge with another Tantric Sector brought us to attend Guru’s event in Melbourne. She goes to the TBS chapter and offered to lead the way.
She asked: Why every time your shizun does event, always have sale auction? Why we are force to buy 10 books, when we only need ONE?

I think like building temples; when the Universe supports your endeavors, you will get all the support you need!

Let us all sit back and ponder, are we or have we in any way “Gone against the Law of Nature/Universe”?
It is not Guru’s sharing that is not welcome by Sentient Beings; but mindsets and ultimate results/rewards expected by the Sentient Minded Team purportedly in “control” of Guru’s “proprietary rights”!

For those that can afford the books, we can read and share our views with those that can’t afford or don’t read Chinese, agree?

Dharma is to be shared else it has no purpose. Just like the example Guru always raise about being ALONE ON THE MOON! Dharma is not required when you are all alone and no other to interact with.

The most important fact is, HAS GURU NEEDS of LARGE SUMS of FUND for daily sustenance?
If so, he would not channel all offering from students to charity, correct?

Be very careful of Methods of Convenience, turning sour with influence of Greed, Ignorance, Aversion, Pride, Desires……

Always remember that we are Buddhist and like Guru advised frequently, KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO & WHAT YOU CAN’T!

O! Think: When you don’t have the Affinity or the Need to Know, No Loss at all! Maybe pricing books and making materials unavailable to the mass might be a blessing in disguise!

Personally, I can’t manage the older books and materials that Guru has shared for the past decades! What more absorbing and TRULY understanding them and use them for benefit of all!

Hahaha! There’s always our dear wise & compassionate Guru that will ensure we learn at our own speed without any difficulties or unhappiness, correct?

Guru said, if you chant the title of Amitabha Buddha, before your demise, just chant or bring Amitabha Buddha into focus/vision; you will be lead and delivered to PureLand. This is an easier option for those that really can’t cultivate.

Also Guru said that you only need to concentrate on ONE! The multitude of Guru’s sharing is on a knowledge enhancement basis, and if they are out of your reach, do not be unhappy. ):
