| My Master said, "The epithet of Amitabha ranks supreme among all the buddhas of the three times and ten directions because of the syllable AH." Should the practitioner visualize the syllable AH with one mind, he would undoubtedly speed his way to buddhahood at a pace that allows him to attain it in this very body. It would far exceed the pace of attaining buddhahood through studying thousands of sutras. ~ Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Lu Sheng Yan. |

These are comments for the following article: Lotuschef on Differences of Power
BB: Wah, people are very evil and misleading. Sigh. Yeah, listen to Guru, luckily he asks Fashi. Ha7..the intro is so funny "a bit silly", can't say like that, we learn from others silliness, but not repeated silliness =D
CC: I'm glad he asked because he stated he dreamed to achieve buddhahood in this life.
I mean honestly speaking, he dreams better than me as I was thinking of continuing the practice in the pureland instead lol.
People like AA who may be doubtful at certain point but is not ashamed to ask and clarify some problems are not numerous.
May he be guided well along the path.
The article is great! It's speaking of the truth about human's traits.
LC: Hahaha!

Dear all, AA is not really silly. I admire him much for asking questions.
His doing so helps those who dare not ask for fearing of being perceived as silly or stupid.
People who dare not ask even when they are in doubt, bungle up their lives by "making-do" or "anyhow do", which normally end up in Failures or partial failures!
When in Doubt always ask and clarify them.
I've seen many who wanted to ask questions but held back because they were others present.
I have also seen those who wanted to "test" my knowledge but didn't know how to phrase their questions too! :)
Most hinder themselves with negative values of outward perception which are derivations of 3 poisons. EGO and Pride are good examples!
Seriously, for cultivation as Guru said: [When you don't know, ask me or ask those who truly know.]
He means those who have already Yoga with certain Yidams, of course!
At the same time, when One can Yoga with One, means can Yoga with All, correct? :)
So all boils down to Yoga with Guru! hahaha!
[he dreamed to achieve buddhahood in this life] - this is indeed a good target.
It is making a Bodhicitta Wish and cultivating is actually Executing that Wish!
On 7 November 2009, the session whereby I gave my maiden Dharma speech online, Guru talked about the 3 stages of awakening:
- Realize that Life is Suffering.
- You want to cultivate to escape this Suffering and go to a better place.
- You want to cultivate to Buddhahood to help those who are trapped in these Suffering.
So AA chose [3], which is to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime!
Let us applaud his choice!!! :) :) :)
O! Ask pertinent questions only please. That is those on cultivation techniques and not personal matters!
Cheers all.
Happy New Year.
