与佛同步 In Steps with Buddha


Guru said: Those diligent cultivators although physically far away from me, in actual fact, they are just by my sides. Those physically by my sides but do not cultivate diligently, are in actual fact, very far away from me.

Yes! This is Guru's stance on what is keeping [In Steps with Buddha] all about.

The End!!!

:) Kidding la!

In steps can mean you are able to Yoga with Buddha or in our case, our Root Guru, Living Buddha Lian Sheng.

Therefore you can start visualizing Guru smiling at you all the time and you can talk or chat with him whenever you see something unique or of interest to you.

Just say: Shizun, please look at this..... it's cute isn't it?...
How do you talk to your dad and mom?
Same style will do.
Don't need to worry or to stand on ceremony.
Relax and be happy while chatting with Guru.

If you are in public, then use your heart to talk, no need to emit sound.
Your eyes/ears/nose/skin.... and your heart will do the necessary.

You don't have confidence that Guru is hearing you, then you will never be able to Yoga, because you lack absolute trust & faith in Guru being a Buddha!

If you can do so well enough, you have learn something call "Astral Projection" which is Visualization of transporting Subject to your designated location!

Hahaha!

Try it!

Guru speech 2009-11-07要廣傳真佛密法 [2]

This morning, Guru reminded me to look over this speech given, and his comments on my maiden Dharma speech during this session. :)

Excerpts & Summaries Translated by Lama Lotuschef


蓮生活佛開示2009年蓮生活佛最新開示

http://tbsn.org/chinese2/talk.php?classid=43&id=1232&keyword=&page=0

<蓮生法王2009年11月7日美國西雅圖雷藏寺週六同修法語開示精要>  


◎首先修道第一個層次就是「資糧道」,「資糧道」就是準備你往生的資糧,像做善事,行十善,講好話,做善行,幫助人,都是在行「資糧道」。
[To begin with cutlivation path, the First criteria is "Resource Path", which is to prepare Resources for your afterlife, like doing charity, execute the 10 virtues, speaking good words, do good deeds, help others, all these are in "Resource Path".]

  我們真佛密法真的是很好的。在修道的過程當中,首先修道的層次,第一個層次就是「資糧道」,「資糧道」就是準備你往生的資糧,像做善事,行十善,講好話,做善行,幫助人,都是在行「資糧道」。
  那麼「資糧道」圓滿了,再進入「加行道」。「加行道」就是增加你的信心,對你自己的上師要懂得恭敬,道心要非常的堅固,還要懺悔過去你所做的不好的惡業,這個就是在做「加行道」,在密教裡面就叫做「四加行」。「資糧道」圓滿,再圓滿你的「加行道」。
  你「加行道」圓滿了,師父上師跟你提到開悟的問題,你突然之間領悟了,佛性是這個樣子的,經過印證,你已經開悟了,這個時候就叫做「見道」。你終於領悟了「道」是什麼,你知道佛性是什麼,這個時候才叫做「見道」。見了道以後,根據六祖所講的,各自觀心,就是在「修道」,這個時候才叫做「修道」。

[Our True Buddha Tantric Dharma is really very good. In the cultivation process, we start with stages of cultivation path, First one is Resource Path. That is accumulation of resources for afterlife by doing good and observing 10 virtues.....
Fulfilling Resource Path, we enter Preliminaries Path. This increases your Faith/Trust/Belief for your Guru with Respect; Path Heart very steadfast/firm, also need to have repented on all negative deeds. In Tantrayana this path is called (4 Preliminaries Practice).
When you hav fulfilled Preliminaries, your Guru touches on question of Enlightenment, you suddenly become Enlighten, realizing "so this is Buddha Nature", after affirmation, you are Enlightened, at this instant, it is term as "Sighting path". 
You finally realized (Path) is what, Buddha nature is what, this is (Sight Path).
After Sighting Path, as per 6th Zen Patriarch, each observe Heart, which is termed (Cultivate Path) at this this time. ]


  不能一開始就說我們在修道,其實修道也可以講啦,不過到「見道」這個時候才真正開始「修道」,因為你知道佛性以後,你必須要把自己的佛性,跟你自己的身體、語言、意念,互相配合起來,這個時候才叫做修道。修到最後你終於看見佛性了,終於見到佛性了,最後的這個道才叫做「證道」,證明的道,就是「究竟道」。所以有階層的,「資糧道」、「加行道」、「見道」、「修道」、「證道」依這五個層次這樣子來的,才叫做圓滿。
  所以六祖所講的「各自觀心」,就是每一個人回去以後,把你的開悟始終放在心中,然後用你的身體,用你的語言,用你的意念去合乎你的悟性,這個時候才叫做修道。修道的時間很長,像六祖在獵人堆裡就十幾年。師尊在修道的過程當中時間也很長。連我自己到見道這個地步的時候,時間也很長。並不是我是天才兒童,我一出生,一下子我就所有佛法我都會了,一下子我就開悟了,一下子我就見證到佛性了,不是的。

 

  我到了六十幾歲,才算漸漸地把佛性圓滿起來,才能夠知道什麼是五智,什麼是三身,懂得所有密教所有的修行方法,而且是每一個法我都仔細去修過的,也有了相應,這樣子才能夠當成金剛阿闍梨。也就是說祂已經不會變色了,也不會變形了,就叫做金剛。不變色不變形不壞,叫做金剛,阿闍梨就是上師,叫做金剛上師

[At 60 years of age, I can be considered as gradually completing or perfecting my Buddha Nature, can understand what is 5 Wisdoms, what is the Trikaya, know how to cultivate all Tantric Sadhanas, also minutely cultivated each one to Yoga, this then can be considered as a Vajra Acharya.
That is to say he will not change colors and shapes, thus termed Vajra. 
Won't change color; shape or spoil, is Vajra, Acharya is Shangshi, address as Vajra Shangshi. ]


  當了上師了還會說:「我不幹了!我不再弘法了!我也不信佛了!」那個就不叫金剛。所謂金剛就是不壞的、不變色的、不變形的,才叫做金剛。所以密教叫做金剛乘,是因為祂是不壞的,不變色的,不變形的。佛性本身來講也是不壞的、不變色的、不變形的。

[**From here Guru talks about the 3 stages of Awakening which I had translated and shared. Please go look it up. :)]

24-1-2011 Awakening in Steps 醒的程序

  我們每一個人大部分開始學佛的時候,就已經醒過來,從迷中變成醒,不會再沉迷在這個世俗的世界裡面。很多人還是迷於世俗的一切,還是在迷中,但是在迷中的人是不知道迷的。
  像我們喝酒,飲酒(廣東話),酒在日本話叫sake,這個在美國就叫做wine。wine是普通的酒,liquor是比較強烈的酒。廣東話叫「飲酒」、喝酒,台灣話「淋燒酒」(意即「喝酒」),酒醉的人很多,現在我們如果酒醉開車,danger driver,危險駕駛是不可以的。
  有兩個醉漢走在鐵軌上面,他們走啊!走啊!兩個都醉得差不多了。其中一個講說:「這個樓梯怎麼走不完?」其實他們兩個在鐵軌上走,那個是很危險的。另一個講說:「這個工人偷懶,這個扶手怎麼做得這麼低啊!」醉鬼講的話真的是不一樣。
  
{Stage1}我們現在不是醉,我們現在是清醒過來。我們知道人生很短,最起碼你將來要到更好的境界去。懂得修行的人說:「我這一生很苦,時間也不多,我們將來到更好的境界去。」這是第一個醒來的。

{Stage 3} ◎第三個醒得更好:「我要跟我的佛性合一,我自己要轉變成為佛,成為菩薩,我要利益眾生。我成佛以後要去度化眾生。」這是最高的醒悟。
  
{Stage 2} 第二個醒來的是認為:「以後這個人間不要再來了,因為人間太苦了,我們到淨土去,到淨土去了不退轉,這個是最好的。」第三個醒得更好,他已經知道佛性:「我要跟我的佛性合一,我自己要轉變成為佛,成為菩薩,我要利益眾生。」他要去度化眾生:「我成佛以後要去度化眾生。」這是最高的醒悟。所以我們現在都是醒著的,不是在酒醉之中。事實上在這世間的人都是在酒醉之中,迷於「績優股」,分別這個是績優股,那個是不好的股;還是在沉醉之中。

  迷於酒啊!色啊!財啊!氣啊!其實都是在酒醉之中。有些人迷於名:「我想要拿到諾貝爾獎,不擇手段,我都要拿到諾貝爾獎」。這個也是醉。因為那個獎本身來講都是假的東西,虛名而已。我在年輕的時候我就「醒過來」,我在小學的時候,當勞動服務,拿服務認真獎!從來沒有缺課的全勤獎啦!初中留級,高中我有第一名的獎,在高中讀書都是拿第一名;還有寫文章的金駝獎、銀駝獎、國軍文藝金像獎。我都拿過的,有一天我把這些獎狀統統都收集起來,跟這些獎牌都收集起來,然後點一把火全部燒掉,我不要什麼獎,什麼獎我都不要。

  德輝上師說:「師尊還沒有拿諾貝爾獎。」我從來沒有想過,也沒有做過。
我從來不為什麼而做,這個叫做不造作。

這個時候我也是一樣,從來不為什麼,我只要所有的人非常幸福美滿地過日子;所有的眾生都感覺到很快樂;所有的眾生都是醒著的;每一個人都是真正清醒著;所有的眾生都懂得修行。我只要求眾生這樣子,不為自己,不要為自己,為自己是小乘,要為所有的眾生,為所有的弟子,就是大乘。

[I am the same now, never ever for some returns, I only want all to be very happy and live fulfilled life; all feels very happy,  all awakened; each one is truly awaken; all know how to cultivate.
I only wish all to be like these, not for Self, don't be for Self, for Self is Hinayana, have to be for all, for all students, then is Mahayana.]

  什麼叫做「大乘佛法」?大乘佛法就是說視眾生重於自己的,叫做「大乘佛法」。
什麼叫做「小乘佛法」呢?小乘就是視自己重於眾生的,就是「小乘佛法」。
大小乘是這樣子分的。

所以,剛才蓮廚法師講的,「四無量心」、「菩提心」、「利他的心」最重,就是大乘佛法,可以成就佛。

小乘佛法不能成佛,為什麼不能,因為他利己,沒有利他,沒有菩提心。

佛菩薩是有菩提心的,沒有菩提心只能夠證到阿羅漢,只能夠證到緣覺。嗡嘛呢唄咪吽。

[What is Mahayana? It is to See all sentient beings as Self.
What is Hinayana? This is to Prioritize Self over/above Others.
This is how we differentiate Maha or Hina Yana.

Therefore, just now Lian Chu (Lotuschef) fashi talked about, {4 Immeasurable Hearts}; {Boddhicitta}; {Benefits others Heart} most important; this is Mahayana, Able to attain Buddhahood. 

Hinayana cannot attain Buddhahood, why not? Because benefit Self, never benefit Others, don't have Boddhicitta.

Buddhas and Boddhisattvas have Boddhicitta, without Boddhicitta can attain Arhat level only.

Om Mani Pad Me Hom. ]

Dear all, I hope you benefit from this sharing. :)

Happy Cultivating!

Guru speech 2009-11-07要廣傳真佛密法 [1]

This morning, Guru reminded me to look over this speech given, and his comments on my maiden Dharma speech during this session. :) 

Excerpts Translated by Lama Lotuschef

蓮生活佛開示2009年蓮生活佛最新開示

http://tbsn.org/chinese2/talk.php?classid=43&id=1232&keyword=&page=0

<蓮生法王2009年11月7日美國西雅圖雷藏寺週六同修法語開示精要>   
敬禮了鳴和尚、薩迦證空上師、十六世大寶法王噶瑪巴、吐登達爾吉上師!敬禮同修主尊針巴拉!敬禮壇城三寶!主持上師蓮主上師、師母,各位上師、教授師、法師、講師、助教、堂主,各位同門,還有網路上的同門,大家吉祥!

六祖說:「善知識!我於忍和尚處,一聞言下便悟,頓見真如本性。是以將此教法流行,令學道者頓悟菩提。各自觀心,自見本性。」


  我們再繼續講《六祖禪經》(即《六祖壇經》)。
六祖說:「善知識!我於忍和尚處,一聞言下便悟,頓見真如本性。是以將此教法流行,令學道者頓悟菩提。各自觀心,自見本性。」我再唸一遍:「善知識!我於忍和尚處,一聞言下便悟,頓見真如本性。是以將此教法流行,令學道者頓悟菩提。各自觀心,自見本性。」

  剛剛蓮主上師講溝通不良的事情。像我剛剛唸這段經文翻譯的人可能也翻得不會很順暢。[The excerpt of the sutra that I read out loud just now, I believe that the translators might not be able to translate it smoothly.]

我用白話說:「所有的聽法的,在座的所有的心地很善良的,很有智識的人」,六祖自己講自己,「我在弘忍和尚的地方,一聽到弘忍大師祂講的話,便顯現了開悟的悟性出來,這個時候我知覺到,感覺到真如本性──原來我們的本地風光跟佛性,我都有感悟了。」

[Guru used simplified language, said: "All those listening to Dharma, All those seated ones with Kind Hearts, those with much knowledge; " 6th Zen Patriarch talking about himself, "Upon hearing Venerable Hong Ren statement, I exhibited immediate Enlightenment. At this time, I sense and feel my Inherent True Nature -- our original local scenarios and Buddha Nature, I felt and realized all these.]


  「所以今天將這個佛教的頓悟法門廣傳開來,廣傳就是流行廣傳,以便學佛道的人能夠很快地領悟到菩提心。當每一個人能夠領悟到的時候,就回去自己好好地觀察自己的心,將來都可以看見自己本來的佛性。」剛剛所讀的,六祖所講的這一段話,我講白一點就是這樣子講。
[Therefore today we widespreadly share or transmit this Instantaneous Enlightenment method of Buddhist Schools, to aid those Buddhist students to quickly realize Boddhicitta. When all can realized, then go back and effectively observe your hearts, to see your Buddha nature in the future.] 

  祂的重點在哪裡呢?我認為,頓見真如本性不是很容易。就是一剎那之間你看見你自己的佛性了,這個不是很容易。如果反過來講,所謂頓見應該是很快地知道,覺察到自己的佛性,這個就可以講得通。如果是說我一聽到弘忍大師講的話,那我馬上親眼就看到了佛性,這是不太可能的。你能夠有悟,所謂悟就是知覺、知道、感覺,知道佛性,感覺到佛性,可以解釋成為頓見真如本性。
[You might have Realization/enlightenment, this is feeling, understanding, sensing, knowing Buddha Nature, sensing Buddha Nature, can explain as instantaneous sighting Inherent True Nature.]

  如果你看到佛性了,那差不多都快成佛了,各自回家,自己好好地觀心,自己好好地看自己的心,到最後你可以自見本性,才能夠真正地親證到佛性,這裡是有差別的。

所以、六祖惠能在五祖那裡的時候,祂是有知道跟感覺到佛性,那麼祂必須要隱藏起來,隱居起來,在獵人堆裡面十幾年,好好做觀察自己心的這一種功夫,這個叫做「觀心法門」
[To thoroughly observe own heart is a technique called Observe Heart Method.]

這個觀心久久你自己才能夠證明到你自己的佛性。

所以,從開悟到親證佛性,可見還有一段距離。這一句話的意思我是這樣子認為。

可見不是說我已經開悟了,我就已經親證佛性了,就已經成佛了,不是這樣子。
[It does not mean that I am enlightened, I can already see my and affirm my Buddha nature, I am a Buddha already.] 

必須要是說,你已經開悟了,但是你時時觀察自己的本心,符合了你的開悟沒有,或者遠離了你的開悟境界。如果是時時符合,你有一天可以親證,親自自己證明佛性,這個叫做自見本性、親見佛性。

 

  六祖也說了,祂講這一種很快地知道,很快地感覺到佛性的這一種佛教的方法,就是「禪」,把他弘揚出來,廣傳。
[6th Patriarch said that he quickly knows, quickly feel/sense his Buddha Nature, this method is termed "Zen", to widespreadly transmit to all. 

剛剛蓮主上師跟蓮廚法師都提到廣傳真佛密法。
[Just now Lian Zhu Shagnshi and Lian Chu Fashi mentioned widespread sharing of True Buddha Tantri Dharma.]

我們將來要把真佛密法廣傳出去,讓大家都知道。
因為我們真佛密法有頓悟的法門;有密教修行,親證佛性;有律教,我們要守五戒十善,還要發菩提心;我們還有念佛,還有淨土法門,念佛往生西方極樂世界阿彌陀佛淨土。所以我們是佛教所有的東西都在我們真佛宗裡面,各自圓融,互相不排斥。
[We widespreadly share True Buddha Tantric Dharma, to let all know.
As this is an Instantaneous Realization/Enlightenment method; with Tantri cultivation, Self affirmation of Buddha Nature; with Disciplines and to abide the 5 precepts 10 virtues, also Boddhicitta; we chant Buddha's titles, we have Pureland techniques, chanting Buddha's titles for rebirht into Western Paradise Pureland of Amitabha Buddha. 
That is to say, True Buddha School comprises of all Buddhist Teachings, each harmonizes with the other, without seggregation or discrimination.]


  剛剛蓮主上師提到的溝通的問題。這個就是叫翻譯組要小心。像我在講的時候,他們翻譯成英文,有的時候翻譯的人員有一個,一個當然只有一個的說法,有兩個有三個,就有不同的意見。這是溝通的問題,他們翻譯組要互相溝通。那麼我說法的人跟聽法的人,彼此之間也要互相溝通,這溝通是要很順暢。而且說法的人所說出來的,跟聽法的人所聽進去的,一就是一,二就是二,不能一變成三,不能一變成五。所以這個也是有溝通的問題。

  上個禮拜蓮印上師講,請蓮金法師翻譯那一段英文給我聽。其實我是聽得七七八八,也是懂得她在講什麼。我本來想秀一段英文給大家聽的,但是我想就算了。我今天跟蓮印在散步的時候,我講我今天就用英文說法。(眾鼓掌)蓮印上師就講說:「好啊!好啊!你用英文說法。」大家也知道的,我是在台灣出生,跟蓮主上師是一樣的地方。我主要的母語是國語跟台灣話,second language才是英文。我雖然也懂得英文單字,那麼我文法方面比較差一點,但是要把單字一個一個接起來,講出來的話,其實如果有外國的同門在這裡,他們聽了當然也不會很順暢,也就是溝通會不良。以後有機會再秀啦!
  但是你不能講我不懂英文。我跟蓮印上師講,我雖然不懂英文,但是我會用英文罵人。可是我不能講啦!因為有失人格,有失師格,師父的格調都變了。師母講說,學英文最容易學的就是從dirty English開始。那些小孩子一看到電視,一看到男主角跟女主角在那邊親吻,他們就講「YUK」。「yuk, dirty」,這個是最容易學的。
  我跟蓮印講了幾個英文,就是說你那天講我不懂英文,you are wrong, you mistake. I don’t know English.我不知道英文,不過我可以講一些英文的,一般的conversation,初級的。
  這是溝通的問題。因為我們主要的語言就是國語跟台灣話,那麼Australia那位法師她主要的語言是Australia的英文。Australia的英文跟美國的英文是有差別的。Australia的英文,它的聲音比較重一點。美國的英文是完全簡化到不行,很簡化的。Australia的英文是比較標準,像英國的英文也是比較標準式的。我雖然不懂英文,但是國情稍微懂一點。
◎翻譯必須要達,要信,要雅,這個是我們翻譯的重點,溝通的重點。

  這個弘法翻譯,真的,講實在話也不容易。所以,翻譯有三個字,一個是「信」,一個是「達」,一個是「雅」。「信」表示說講一就是一。那天我問蓮印上師:「你懂不懂我講的話?sadu, duwa, dika, mba, lima, alam,你懂不懂啊?」他說:「我不懂。」我說我懂得印尼話的一到六,你連一到六你都不懂。seven我還沒有學。

  要翻譯是一對一的,這個所謂一就是一,就是「信」。所謂「達」就是說師尊講的,到你的耳朵完完全全地接受,就是「達」;「雅」就是更漂亮,就是把我所講的話,用婉轉的講得更漂亮,就是「雅」。並不是要直接翻譯。大家會吧!但是你要把師尊講的話更加的文雅的表現出來,這個就是翻譯的高手,叫做「雅」。翻譯必須要達,要信,要雅,這個是我們翻譯的重點,溝通的重點。

[3 main factors in Translation: 「信」believe or trust. 「達」get the true meaning across. 
「雅」- to beautify. getting the true meaning across comprehensively & smoothly and not a direct translation, which is not able to get the true meaning across completely. ]

  蓮主上師最主要剛剛所講的就是講弘法的翻譯跟國情不同,要廣傳的話,也必須要溝通。這裡有一個人家寫給我的笑話,這個也算是溝通,但是這個溝通是不良的。女秘書對她的老板講:「你太太打電話來,現在在電話中,她要在電話裡面給你親吻。」電話也可以KISS啦!電話筒拿起來嘖嘖嘖,就是KISS,你吻我幾聲,對方就嘖嘖嘖幾聲就來了。
  這個老板就講說:「你先幫我接一下這個KISS,然後等一下你再給我。」老板叫女秘書先接他太太的親吻,等一下再把這個吻給老板。我認為這是溝通不良,不應該這樣子溝通的。你如果是這樣子溝通也可以的話,那就會出問題的。
  另外,有一個老師跟小華講:「我給你三隻兔子,等一下我又給你五隻兔子,那麼你有幾隻呢?」大家都知道應該是八隻兔子。小華就回答:「有九隻。」老師覺得很奇怪:「你數學不好嗎?我剛剛講說我給你三隻兔子,接著我又講我再給你五隻兔子。為什麼你說九隻兔子呢?」小華講:「因為我本來就有一隻啊!」這個也是溝通不良。因為他不知道小華有一隻兔子。所以老師認為他的數學不好。
  你假如問到師尊,有人給師尊三隻兔子,又給師尊五隻兔子,請問有幾隻。然後我的回答說:「沒有了,根本就沒有兔子。」他很生氣,認為師尊的數學不及格。你不知道嗎?我們今天晚上廚房已經加菜了,早就給大家吃光了,怎麼還有隔天的兔子?
  宣仁法師常常講:「我們雷藏寺的老鼠會開冰箱。」這很嚇人,老鼠會開冰箱。所以大家知道每一次買榴槤,要現買現開現吃,第二天,再打開冰箱,榴槤都不見了。
  有時候大人跟小孩子溝通也不良。有一個例子,小明的媽媽懷孕了,她問小明:「你喜歡媽媽下一個是生男的還是生女的?」小明想了一下,我已經有弟弟了,也有妹妹了,他就跟他媽媽講:「我希望下一個是小狗。」這個就是溝通不良。你知道人只能生人嘛,不是男的就是女的啦,你怎麼會講出小狗呢?這是小明他本身的知識不足,母親要跟他溝通好,也要教他,他還不太懂,所以他才有這樣子回答。這個也是屬於溝通不良。
  我發覺我們講國語或者是講台灣話的,從台灣來的人或者是從國外移民來的人講話,他的肢體語言不夠。我發覺外國人講英文很會用表情,用他的手語,用他的表情,他們表情很活。所以他們講英文的時候,你看他的表情,你就知道他在講什麼英文。
  有時候我們在講話,不懂得用我們的肢體語言來講,其實我們的肢體語言跟表情要配合你講出來的話,這樣子人家才懂,這個就是比較直接。學生們有時候講話,也會用特別的方法去講,像小王寫情書給他愛慕的女生,情書是寫得很長,最後他寫著:「不知道你能不能錄取我當你的男朋友。」女同學就回答他四個字:「名額已滿。」
  小王不甘心,就再寫一封情書,他說:「那麼下個學期呢?」女學生回信給他:「等下個學期再說。」所以這個也是一個學生跟學生溝通方面的問題。對我們來講,我們不用那樣子講,什麼名額已滿,名額已滿還可以備取,有時候有人走了,我們還可以變成正取。
To be cont'd ....

Lotuschef in Chat – [开悟的箭试 Archery Test - Enlightenment] 2

I sincerely wish all to understand what is behind the 2 Enlightenment Arrows I shot, in my lesson with Guru. Of course, Guru as the teacher will grade my submission and the depth of my understanding of Buddha Dharma and the First Elemental Truth. 
Have Fun! :)


From: 道心坚固? Guru's Statements? [3]

[What did Guru said about these "Bodhi Path Hearts"?

These kind of Hearts or Mindsets are developed through studious and diligent cultivation to Successfully Yoga with Guru or Vajrasattva to start with!

Like the indestructible quality or characteristic of the Vajra, these hearts "Once Found" will never be lost or disappeared, no matter what situation or provocation!

Guru just talked on 19-1-2013 about [ [ 大圆满觉 = 明心见性
Maha Perfection Realization = Comprehending Heart, Sighting Nature.
When One reach this level of cultivation, one can Truly Execute At Will.
Big wind can’t move – means unperturbed by anything. This yogi is not moved or can’t be provoked to anger or any reactions.] ]


From: Lotuschef in Chat - [开悟的箭试 Archery Test - Enlighte...
[Arrow 1 – Buddha Dharma ; Use; Transform; Miracles; Realized; Succor Sentient Beings.

Arrow 2 – Keeping in steps with Root Guru; Bodhi Paths; Breaking Free; Suffering of Life & Death.]

From: Student AA
[Lol, just finished the gaowang recitation too.

What? Everyone wants to hear something that has never been said or mentioned previously? hahahaha.

If only He/She could at least pick up the underlined messages: 
found a guru > understand and practise the teachings > free the self from samsara > performing miraculous deeds to salvage beings to execute the vows with no strings attached; then he/she is to be applaud for!

I would also use music to show the enlightenment concept hihihi.]
Keeping in steps with Guru - Yes. You found a guru, and our Root Guru is a Buddha. 
Yoga with Root Guru means Yoga with a Buddha. 
You have found your Buddha Nature from this realization.
You also found your Indestructible Bodhi Path Heart! 

Yoga with a Buddha means you have understood the principles behind All Sentient Suffering which is Emptiness. 
However, the First Elemental Truth is neither Emptiness or Existence. It's the Middle Path in between Dualistic Elements. 
At this point in time, you free yourself from Life & Death of Samsara.

Realization comes with Yoga with Buddha and you have cleared ATI Yoga, and you can execute at will with your inherent knowledge of Buddha Dharma coupled with your Buddha Wisdom & Compassion or Bodhi, Buddha's vow to Succor all sentient beings.  

Would you think of being King?
Would you think to have merits or blessings from your Guru then? 
Would you still think inferiorly that there are others that are Number One?
Would you use your official position to lead a War Cry upon all those you perceived as "enemies"? 

Remember my sharing that: Your worse enemy is you, yourself! :)

Lojong - Mind Training - Mindset.
AA said that he likes my blog articles because I have been instilling Mindset in almost all of them! 

Concepts from Diamond Sutra are ideal for USE with Mindset.

Pick up any useful stuff? :) 

Guru said: Cannot share Enlightenment Concepts.

If I do not take my arrows to be Enlightened Ones, then I didn't breach Guru's instruction, correct? :)  I am happy to share True Buddha Dharma and concepts only!

Cheers all.

道心坚固? Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [3]

Bila waktu dan ruang tidak ada (hilang dalam pikiran) saat diteliti,
maka dengan cara yang sama mereka juga tak ada bila tidak dicermati,
demikianlah semua parameter investigasi juga tidak ada,
dan medan sasaran tak memiliki detil khusus ataupun karakteristik umum.

~ dikutip dari dari Kesempurnaan Kodrati: Dzogchen Radikal dari Longchenpa
(diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Inggris oleh Keith Downman)

Dibagikan dengan anotasi oleh Lotuschef – 21 Januari 2013
Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: 道心坚固? Guru’s Statements? [3]

道心 – Hati yang diabdikan kepada Sang Jalan atau Dao (Tao). Dalam konteks ini, ia mengacu pada Jalan Bodhi.

坚固 – Teguh nan Kokoh.

Saat digabungkan artinya menjadi: Hati/Pikiran si praktisi kebatinan tak tergoda untuk berubah arah dalam segala macam kondisi.

Sewaktu terjadi pelecehan nama baik Guru, dalam salah satu ceramah-Nya Beliau mengatakan mengenai mereka yang meninggalkan Aliran Satya Buddha karena mendengarkan hal-hal negatif mengenai-Nya.
Banyak umat berpikir kalau Guru seharusnya menjelaskan lebih jauh mengenai “Hati Jalan Bodhi” ini!
Hahaha!

Lalu apa yang Guru katakan mengenai “Hati Jalan Bodhi” ini?

Hati atau Pola Pikir yang demikian ini hanya bisa dikembangkan lewat pelatihan diri yang tekun hingga si praktisi yang bersangkutan berhasil mencapai Yoga dengan Guru atau Vajrasattva!

Maka bagaikan kualitas dari Vajra yang tak dapat dihancurkan, hati ini “begitu sekali saja ditemukan” maka ia tak akan hilang lagi, bagaimanapun situasi atau provokasi dihadapkan pada si praktisi.

Tanggal 19 Januari 2013, Guru baru saja menjelaskan mengenai:
[大圆满觉 = 明心见性 , Realisasi Kesempurnaan Agung (Dzogchen) = Memahami Hati, Menyaksikan Jati Diri.
Saat si praktisi mencapai tingkat pelatihan seperti ini, maka ia mampu melakukan apapun dengan leluasa.
Angin badai tak menggoyahkannya – berarti selalu tenang dan tak gentar terhadap apapun.
Yogi semacam ini tak bergeming atau tak bisa diprovokasi hingga menjadi marah atau bereaksi apapun.]

Frase [道心] ini bukankah memang sudah sering dibahas namun sayangnya yang mengupayakannya Kurang paham arti dan penggunaannya! :)

Jadi mereka yang memberitahu Guru bahwa banyak yang meninggalkan Satya Buddha karena mereka kehilangan “Hati Jalan Bodhi” ini jelaslah belum mencapai Yoga yang Sejati dengan Guru atau para Yidam, bukannya begitu?

Dan setujukah juga para pembaca dengan dua artikel pendahuluan (1 dan 2) yang kutulis mengenai Keabsahan Pernyataan yang diyakini berasal dari Guru, bahwa sepertinya bukan sungguh-sungguh dari Guru – seorang yang telah tercerahkan dan Buddha Hidup pula? :)

Setujukah bila yang terbaik adalah dengarkan saja Guru?
Oleh karenanya yang terbaik juga mengacu pada buku, video dan transkrip lengkap dari ceramah-ceramah Guru yang dipublikasikan oleh Mingguan Satya Buddha.

Wajib memeriksa Keabsahannya jadi kamu tak akan disesatkan atau masuk ke dalam cengkeraman Mara?

Poin no.7, si penulis jelas sekali iri hati kepada mereka yang mampu menjalankan sila dan melatih diri dengan baik?
Dan dari sana di poin no.10 malah lebih menunjukkan lagi keirihatiannya?

Sepertinya si penulis atau mungkin para penulis, sedang kebingungan atau tak paham apa itu Yoga yang Sejati, tapi berusaha melampiaskan rasa iri hati dan tak senangnya kepada orang lain yang “dalam pandangan mereka” telah melatih diri dengan baik?

Aku sendiri yakin bahwa kita semua bisa menemukan Kebenaran mengenai asli/palsunya pernyataan-pernyataan tersebut dari ceramah-ceramah Guru, benarkah kiranya?

Oh ya, mengenai Pahala? Yogi Sejati Tak Membutuhkannya!

Salam semuanya.

头拄香First Stalk of Incense Stick


Incense offering is for a certain purpose.

They were originally used by cultivators to mark time and also the fragrance helps them stay alert when they need to concentrate on learning Buddha Dharma or chanting some Dharani, or even meditation.

However, this has mutated to the current proliferance of "planting" as much as possible into Incense Urns at monastery or temples of good repute.
Good repute means those that happened to have their wishes granted after praying and offering at these places! :)

With the approaching Chinese New Year, many will rush to certain temples to plant the First stalk of Incense Sticks, believing that their fortune will be Tops, if they are able to be the First!

Sorry to disillusion you though. :)
In Buddhist ideology, when you push and fight others to be ahead and be first, you created negatives!

Every stalk of incense sticks you offered is your First!
They can be First for the morning, First for the Afternoon or First for the evening!

What matters is your sincerity and not pushing ahead to plant the first stalk ruthlessly!

Lots of hearsay and superstition are unfounded myth and in this age of Knowledge advancement, many can Think for themselves and should not follow hearsay or superstition blindly!

Buddha's teaches to be happy and to share happiness with All.

Do you show sincerity when you ruthlessly pushed ahead just to be First in Offering incense for the day or festive occasion?

The moment you put Self before others, you are not a True Buddha's student.
The moment you create envy and jealousy and disharmony, you are not a True Buddha's student.

When you regard All as One, whoever offered the First stalk of incense means You are doing so, concur?

Guru said: Yogi should have a Heart large enough to engulf the sea or the ocean.

If you pay your way to offer the First stalk of incense, my advice is to use the same resources for Charity.

For a cultivator or even non-cultivator, who has too much craving, desire, for sentient materials, you are really far far away from attainment. No Kidding. :)

Embrace all as One!

You will find unlimited Happiness by heeding Guru's teachings and guidances.

Cheers all.

开悟的箭?Arrows of Enlightenment?

莲厨再谈 [沉默是金]

Lotuschef on [Silence is Golden] again - Zen Flavo...

Extract from the above:-

[There is a process here, similar with cultivation.

4 Noble Truths' process:
Accept there is a [Problem];
Define the [Problem];
Seek out [Origin of Problem];
Employ [Noble 8 Fold Paths] to [Solve the Problem}!

That is firstly, there is [Habit], What is this [Habit], Seek the [Origin of this Habit], employ  [Noble 8 Fold Paths]  to  [Correct or Change this Habit]!
It is that [Simple]!!! Hahaha!
]

Someone remarked that I am unusual because I used lyrics to a canto-pop song that I wrote as Enlightenment Arrows! 

Hehehe! 

Can I or Can't I? :)

I don't think there is any difference, do you?

I believe that if I can explain to Guru why I chose those words and what I want to put across, thats the deciding factor of whether I understand the First Elemental Truth or not, agree? :)

Another remark was why I don't send it to Guru by post or other visible or usual means.

Letters to Guru are answered by the team of VMs in Central Administration all along. 

There are times that letters just somehow disappeared too! 

Why do I need to go through so many "hands" to communicate with Guru?

I chat with Guru all the time, believe or not up to you. :)

During our chat, I just jokingly said: Shizun, I want to shoot arrows. Hahaha! 

Guru smiled and nodded.

So I started with Arrow 1 and explaining my take and then Arrow 2.

It is not the Certification of Enlightenment that is important here but my expressing my take of the First Elemental Truth. 

Remember there is No Absolute Right & Wrong? 

That's enough! 

Cultivation is truly very private and between the Teacher and the Student! 
Each Student learns at his/her own pace and The Teacher will also guide the Student along accordingly! :)

Cheers all.

Lotuschef in Chat - [开悟的箭试 Archery Test - Enlightenment]


Well all in True Buddha know about Guru inviting all students to "Shoot Arrows of their Enlightenment" in written form and send to him to assess Level of Enlightenment if any.

In this morning's chat with Guru, Topic one is Offering; Topic 2 is a private matter concerning a certain student; Topic 3 is my jokingly telling Guru that I also want to shoot arrows!

To be exact, 2 only! :) :) :)

These are lyrics to a canto-pop song which I changed to reflect my respect for Guru and what I have learn from Guru through various lifetimes.

Arrow 1 - Buddha Dharma ; Use; Transform; Miracles; Realized; Succor Sentient Beings. 

Arrow 2 - Keeping in steps with Root Guru; Bodhi Paths; Breaking Free; Suffering of Life & Death.

Guru said: Enlightened in Theory must still cultivate to realized your True Buddha Nature. 

I am not going to explain further here as I have already done so in my chat with Guru.

Let Guru do the explanation when  you have the affinity. 

Did I hit Bulls-eyes for these arrows? Hehe!

Lotuschef in Chat - Offering




In a chat with Guru early this morning, Offering to Sanghas was one of the 3 topics.

Recently Guru said in his Dharma speech about Sincerity in Offering as well.

I have received lots of invitation for meals from students as well as non-students of TBS.

Choice of Acceptance actually depends on Guru!

Some lack Sincerity, as they have motive in mind.
Mostly Consultation of Personal Matters for Self Enhancement only.

Like wanting the Merits from Offering to Sanghas, a component of the Triple Gem.

See the can drink in the third picture?
It was sincerely offered to me to quench thirst and cool down during fire puja session.
Also it's Isotonic which I preferred!

The care of me feeling warm and thirsty and an offering that I like or preferred.
That simple!

I am not entertaining any phone calls or text messages to my mobile since I am in retreat.
Therefore, if you are sincere in offering to Sangha, you can seek out others or email me at purekarmaservices@gmail.com

If Guru gives approval, I will gladly accept offering from you.
However, please be reasonable. Do not Equate value of offering to the rewards you are expecting, please.

Giving me say $10K and expect $100K in return, is Greed. Mindset that I don't encourage.

If you can fork out large amount of fund like these, I would advise you to donate to charity to benefit the needies or the less fortunate from your society, where ever you are residing.

Cheers all.

GM's article - Tales of Lotus YiHao's Dream

Book 229 - Mystical Dialogues on Enlightenment


Translated by Lama Lotuschef


One night, Lotus YiHao had a very vivid dream, as follows:

There is a beautiful high mountain, and a ancient temple within. Golden Mother of the Yao Pond and Grandmaster Lu resides within this temple.

It seems that YiHao has cultivate to Attainment, and preparing to make his farewell and descend the  mountain.
  
Grandmaster Lu said to YiHao: I have nothing else to gift you but this staff, to aid you maneuver the mountain path smoothly.
  
Golden Mother of the Yao Pond said: YiHao, I have this handkerchief, use when you perspire on your way down the mountain.
  
After receiving these staff and handkerchief, Lotus YiHao said: Thanks to Grandmaster Lu, Thanks to Golden Mother of the Yao Pond, student is leaving now, hope to not negate your wishes to widely succor all sentient beings to repay Guru's kindness in guidance.
  
Thereafter, YiHao left.
  
He met a tiger midway down the mountain. This tiger roared with mouth wide open, displaying its sharp wide teeth, prancing towards YiHao.
  
YiHao raised the staff, unknowingly the staff emitted a ray of white light, directed at the tiger.
Upon sight of this white light, tiger got frightened and turn around and ran away!
  
And then:
  
YiHao lost his way on the descend, can't differentiate East South West North, turning over one mountain after another, through one forest after another, but all peaks linked together, trees of forests like a widespread green space, can't find the route to descend the mountain.
  
In a moment of haste, he drew out the handkerchief gifted by Golden Mother of the Yao Pond to wipe his perspiration. Upon this Drawing, the handkerchief transformed into white cloud, with YiHao standing on the cloud, the cloud flew and sent Lotus YiHao down the mountain. Hearing the sound of howling wind whisking by, he arrived home in a short while.
He woke up from his dream then.
  
Lotus YiHao asked : What is the meaning of meeting a tiger on the route?

I answered: All Sentient Matters, Sliced into 2!
  
Lotus YiHao asked : There is no knife in hand?
I answered: Since there is no knife, then there is no tiger.
(this statement has deep meaning).  

Lotus YiHao asked : Lost direction, handkerchief as cloud, transported home, means what?   

I answered: Need to abide Discipline!

He asked: How to abide Discipline?
  
I: Need to have Wisdom Eye!
  
He asked: What mean Wisdom Eye?
  
I: Discern East South West North.
  
YiHao asked: What is handkerchief transforming into cloud?
  
I: Departing without Trace. 
(this statement has deep meaning).
  
YiHao asked: How do I succor sentient beings widely? Sentient beings how to succor?
  
I laugh heartily : White Bone Like Mountain
(this statement has deep meaning).
  

{{{ Saintly students, Lotus Yihao's dream is very meaningful. A cultivator's most adverse to violence and dangerous matters, like dream of meeting tiger, most people would have been scared to death or lost their guts and lost faith in Path of Dao/Bodhi.

  
Moreover, when leaving mountain, can't differentiate the 4 directions, True Path; Evil Path; also can't differentiate. Upon entering the Wrong path, want to return to Right Path, is already very difficult! Succoring Self is extremely difficult, what more succoring sentient beings?
  
This dream can caution Saintly students, that before attainment of the Fruits of Path, Body[Life] already lost! }}}

  
Dear all, 
Enjoyed the story? :)

All Guru's answers are similar to Zen teaching. Likening to certain phenomenon. 

Pay special attention to the Bold and {{{.......}}} sections. 

Happy Cultivating!

蓮生活佛著作 - 蓮花一皓的夢境



蓮生活佛著作盧勝彥文集229_解脫的玄談

蓮花一皓的夢境


有一天晚上,「蓮花一皓」做了一個夢,夢境非常清晰,述說如下:
  
那是一座很高而且很美麗的山,山中有一座古寺,瑤池金母與盧師尊就住在古寺裡。
  
「一皓」似乎學法已成,準備告別下山。
  
盧師尊對一皓說:「沒有別的東西送你,就給你一支拄杖吧,讓你下山走路順些。」
  
瑤池金母說:「一皓,我有手巾一條,下山流汗可以擦一擦!」
  
這位「蓮花一皓」收了拄杖及手巾,說:「謝謝盧師尊,謝謝瑤池金母,徒兒下山去了,希望能不負所望,廣度天下眾生,報答師恩。」
  
而後一皓便下山了。
  
半山上遇一虎,這老虎開口吼哮,牙白尖銳,撲向一皓而來。
  
一皓舉手上拄杖,想不到拄杖放白光一道,直射老虎,老虎一看白光,一驚嚇,轉頭就走了!
  
又:
  
一皓一下山,迷失方向,不辨東南西北,一山翻過一山,一林穿過一林,但,峰峰相連,林木蒼蒼,找不到下山之路。
  
他一時心急,把瑤池金母的手巾掏出來擦汗,這一掏,手巾變化成白雲,一皓站在雲上,雲朵一飛,就把「蓮花一皓」送下山去了。只聽耳畔,風呼呼的響,一下子就回到了家中。
  
接著夢也醒了。
  
蓮花一皓問我: 「路上遇虎是什麼意?」
  
我答:「一切俗事,一刀兩斷!」
  
蓮花一皓問:「手上無刀?」
  
我答:「既然無刀,就無老虎。」
(此句有深意)
  
蓮花一皓問:「迷失方向,手巾化為雲,送我回家鄉,又是何解?」
  
我答:「須守戒!」
  
「如何守戒?」他問。
  
「須具慧眼!」
  
「如何是慧眼?」他問。
  
「分辨東南西北。」
  
一皓問:「手巾化雲又是什麼用意?」
  
我答:「去後不留蹤。」
(此句有深意)
  
一皓問:「我如何廣度眾生?眾生如何度?」
  
我哈哈大笑:「白骨如山。」
(此句有深意)
  
諸聖弟子,「蓮花一皓」的夢境,很有意思,一個修行人,最忌遇到凶險的事,如遇虎之夢,一般人早就嚇破膽,退了道心。
  
再者,出山時,無法分辨東南西北,正道、邪道均不分。入了歧途,要回正路,已非常困難矣!自度堪難,何況度眾生?
  
這個夢境,可以警惕所有的聖弟子,不能道果未成,身已成仁矣!

GM's Article - Who is Happiest?


Terjemahan Indonesia: Artikel Mahaguru – Siapa yang paling bahagia?
Guru's article translated by Lama Lotuschef



Dessert – winter melon, sweet & bitter almonds, dried longans, honey dates, pitted large red dates. No sugar added!

Feeling misunderstood? Melancholic? A nice warm dessert like this will warm & sooth you! :) Cheers.

Who cares what the world said against You?

Someone told me that a fellow student is very depressed and unhappy because Rumor has it that he was maligned in allegedly accusing another student of hiring Maoshan practitioners to hurt Guru.

Well? True or False, really doesn't matter!
What matters is that you are Innocent and Know this Truth!

I found Guru's article that is good for all those who were and are still being wrongfully accused or misunderstood!

I am translating this for those who don't understand/read Chinese.
Enjoy! :)

Book 230 – After Rain Again

Source: Book 230 ~ 又一番雨過 – 誰最快樂?


If someone ask me: Who is Happiest in this sentient realm?
I would not hesitate to say: Yes, I am.

If someone ask me: Who is the Craziest in this sentient realm?
I would jump up and say: Yes, I am the Craziest.

As per information, 80% of artists, poets, geniuses, all possess a wee bit of craziness.

Yes, I have been jeered at and labelled: Crazy Dharma King Lu Sheng Yan.  

After I have a little success, some people started to get imbalanced heart or mindset, they tried to pick at your faults, as traditional saying: To pick bone from within an egg. [means picking at something that don't exist.] Because they can't {endure} your success, can't {endure} your achievement.   

Say have to use speech. (Gossip)
Words must use written. (Humiliate)

They need to attack you, defame you, humiliate you, flatten or deflate you, unwilling/uncaring of understanding you....
  
However, I understand, these people have: Red Eye Disease! [means jealous]
  
Jealous, Envy, are basic form of Human Traits. Only those [Lacking in Abilities/Untalented] will not be defamed or slandered by others.
  
In my viewpoint - I am a specially independent person, those handful of people, have nothing to do with me, he lives his life and I live mine.
  
I am living happily all the while, because I confirmed my Attainment.

Jia Jia! Yu Yu! [giggles] 
 
He/She all knows my Attainment.
  
Write a poem:
Had flown to the green skies, to attend non-cloud non-smoke event at Yao Ci [pond named Yao]
Golden Mother of the Yao Pond said to me: Human realm has layers.
I laughed. 
How do they know what it is like to be in Golden Palace.
I am in Heaven, Heavenly fragrance like beautiful flowers  
He who is on the ground, is naggy and has shallow outlook.
This Distance apart, results in laughter filling my face.

Jia Jia! Yu Yu! [giggles]   

Honestly speaking, I, Lu Sheng Yan, is no longer a human being. I have already break free from society, crowds, human realm, humans.
I am Buddha, I am Golden Fairy/Deity.

I still need wealth?        ‧

I still need beauties?

I still need fame/prestige/honor?   

No one understands you, You also do not need anyone's understanding. Although you live in sentient realm, but in actual fact, you live in Heaven.

Excited with Joy, living in Serenity, Purity, Selflessness...

I basically am not Born, also no Death! [Enlightenment statement]

---

Dear all, I hope you all bear in mind this lesson from Guru.

As long as you know the Truth, and am honest and truthful, what others choose to say Really Really don't matter an iota, correct? :)

Those who are Truly lacking but still want to stay atop or in control will do anything to attack you, even to the extend of lying!

Hahaha! I am constantly being maligned by fellow students too! Do I Care? NO! :)

Whoever hired the hit from Maoshan practitioners on Guru, will face their own karmic returns, which has nothing to do with those innocent of these heinous acts, agree?

Smile and share that Smile!  :) :) :)

Cheers all.

Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [2]

Sapia adalah salah satu arwah yang sedang menjalani api penyucian di teras ke-2 karena iri hati. Para arwah yang penuh dengan keirihatian saling duduk berjejeran dan bersandar bersebelahan serta bersandar pada batu-batu besar. Jubah yang mereka kenakan ditenun dengan kasar dalam warna yang polos seperti batu.
Karena mereka mendapatkan kesenangan dari melihat orang lain yang direndahkan, kini mereka semua yang penuh rasa iri hati juga kehilangan penglihatan dalam cara yang sangat mengerikan: mata mereka tertutup karena dijahit dengan kawat besi. Air mata bercucuran keluar dari mata mereka yang tertutup, dan para arwah ini meringkuk bersama bagai para pengemis yang buta (13.43-72).
Sapia, lahir sekitar tahun 1210 di dalam keluarga Salvani dari Siena yang terkemuka, dengan cara yang salah turut bersukacita saat melihat kekalahan para saudara setanahairnya (faksi Ghibellin dari Siena) di Colelle di Val d'Elsa, di mana keponakan lak-lakinya, Provenzan Salvani, terbunuh. Kini namanya sendiri jadi sindiran akan kebodohannya (meski namanya adalah Sapia - ia yang tak bijaksana [savia], 13.109-10).
Sapia menunjukkan keinginannya untuk berbicara dengan Dante dengan mendongakkan dagunya ke arah asal suara Dante.

Bacalah juga: Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [1]

LC: Kau sudah baca artikel terakhirku? Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [1]
Hehe.
Nakal-nakal lagi!

AA: Aku masih belum paham dengan poin no.10. Menurutku baik-baik saja. :D
Fashi jelaskan lebih lanjut lah.

LC: BB, kamu coba jelaskan dan nanti lihat bagaimana.

BB: Lol. Kalau dibaca lagi, di poin no.10 ada dua fragmen pernyataan yang saling bertolak belakang, dan dibaca secara satu kesatuan kamu mungkin berpikir ada yang aneh dengan pernyataan itu.

Yang pertama, menunjukkan mengenai yang terbaik/tertinggi dan di bagian akhir ditutup dengan melupakan Mula Silsilah berarti berada di dalam cengkeraman Mara, ya memang benar.

Tapi kamu mungkin akan berpikir lagi, yogi dengan kebijaksanaan yang terunggul bisa melupakan Mula Silsilahnya bukankah terlalu lucu untuk terjadi?

Yang ke-dua, seperti yang dikatakan fashi “apa yang ingin kamu sampaikan di sini? Kamu iri kepada mereka yang mencapai keberhasilan?”

Yang ke-tiga, “Yogi yang merasa...” – adalah pendapat yang sangat pribadi. Dari sudut pandang siapa? Dari perspektif mayoritas? Atau dari si pembaca?

Hahaha. Aku tak tahu, tapi kalau dia berhati tulus dan mampu mengabaikan emosi-emosi yang mengganggu hatinya, pernyataan seperti ini tak akan muncul.

Melihat mereka yang berhasil dalam pelatihan dirinya, ia akan turut berbahagia; melihat mereka yang tak punya keberhasilan juga tidak masalah, karena setiap insan menanggung karmanya masing-masing dan akan tercerahkan saat waktunya telah matang.

LC: Bravo! BB menjelaskan semuanya!
BB sayang, misterius sekali cara berpikirmu bisa mirip denganku!

Ya! Apa yang kamu anggap sebagai Tertinggi dalam segala hal?
Dualisme lagi. Saat seseorang berada di Paling Atas, maka si penulis sendiri adalah yang berada di Paling Bawah!

Sedangkan seorang sadhaka yang paling unggul HANYA BISA BERHASIL karena ia paham pentingnya Mula Silsilah dan berlatih sesuai instruksi!


Mara Iri Hati sedang bekerja – dalam bentuk umpatan kepada mereka yang berada di PALING ATAS!

Semuanya bisa dianalisa dengan menggunakan Empat Kebenaran Mulia dan Jalan Utama Berunsur Delapan!
Sungguh merupakan Dharma dan Kebijaksanaan Buddha yang sebenarnya!
Hahaha!

AA: Aha, sekarang jadi masuk akal. Jika poin no.7 dan 10 dihubungkan, semuanya masuk akal. Ya, ternyata di dalamnya sarat kedengkian lol.

---

Bertukar pikiran seperti ini sebenarnya seperti dialog Zen? :)
Ini yang Guru sedang lakukan di dalam ceramah dharmanya tiap Sabtu akhir-akhir ini.

Aku senang karena ada para pembaca yang benar-benar paham apa yang aku coba bagikan dan tahu apa dan bagaimanca cara membaca pernyataan-pernyataan tertentu.

Selamat berlatih!

蓮生活佛著作盧勝彥文集230_又一番雨過

如果有人問我:「這世間誰最快樂?」
  
我毫不猶疑的說:「是的,是我。」
  
如果有人問我:「這世間誰最瘋狂?」
  
我會跳了起來說:「是的,我最瘋狂。」
  
據說,百分之八十的藝術家、詩人、天才,都有一丁點的瘋狂。
  
是的,我也曾經被人戲呼:「瘋子法王盧勝彥」。
  
我有一點點小成就之後。

有一些些人就開始心裡不平衡了,他們試著挑你的毛病,俗語說:「雞蛋裡面挑骨頭。」

因為他們無法「忍受」你的成功,無法「忍受」你的成就。

  
話一定要用講的。(八卦
  
文字一定要用寫的。(侮辱
  
他們須要打擊你,譭謗你,污辱你,壓扁你,不屑你。……
  
但是,我明白,這是一些些人的:「眼紅症!」
  
吃醋、嫉妒本來就是人類的天性之一只有「無能的人」才不會被人譭謗。
  
在我來說──
  
我是一位特立獨行的人,那一些些人,跟我毫無干涉,他活他的,我活我的。

我一直快樂的活著,因為我確認我的成就。
  
呷呷!雨雨!
  
他她都知道我的成就。
  
我寫詩:
  
曾經飛上了青天
  
去趕赴非雲非煙的瑤池宴
  
瑤池金母語我
  
人間有片片
  
我笑了
  
他們怎知我在黃金殿
 
我在天上
  
天香如花妍妍
  
他在地下

喋喋淺見

 
這距離
  
令我笑靨滿面
       ‧
  
呷呷!雨雨!
  
很坦白的說,我盧勝彥已不是人,我早已脫離社會,脫離了群眾,脫離了人間,脫離了人。我是佛,我是金仙。

我還須要財富嗎?

我還須要美色嗎?

我還須要名譽嗎?

沒有人會了解你的,你也不須要人的了解。你雖活在世上,事實上,你活在天上。欣喜、安詳、清淨、無我。……

我根本沒有生,也沒有死啊!(開悟語)
