Respect Guru? Practicing as Taught?


Terjemahan Indonesia:  Menghormati Guru? Menjalankan seperti yang diajarkan?

The above are articles about a ritual that most chapters and students does daily.

Even TBS Headquaters in Seattle & Taiwan carry out these rituals daily, once pre-lunch and once pre-dinner.

This is a ritual done by those in Hinayana & Mahayana temples!

Most does these 3 times a day, that is Morning; Noon; Evening.

Why?

They need to abide Buddha's instruction to make offer to Garuda King and all his subjects or followings.

They do not practice Tantrayana's Great Mandala Offering before every meal and also during cultivation or offering session.

Imagine just carrying out and carrying on, unnecessarily all these times?

Wisdom is present in all of us, find it and uncover it!

Likewise, Guru has verbally and writtenly shared many times, that in Tantrayana, Vajrasattva's Repentance Practice is the Greatest Repentance Practice, superseding all others and why.

Why are our VMs and etc going around doing any other, like those done for Mahayana events.

O! These VMs also superseded Guru in declaring that all use the brown ceremonial drape with immediate effect; instead of the maroon tolga, which Guru said that we in Tantrayana use.

Hahaha!

Yoga also relies heavily on the Tantric Practitioner's respect for his Root Guru and also his Root Guru's instruction!

"Over-riding" One's own Root Guru's instruction and attempt to control this Root Guru, means disrespect. Therefore, he can't achieve Guru Yoga, because he really do not have a steadfast faith and trust in anyone but himself!

You really want to achieve Guru Yoga?

Then go reflect on what you have done; who you revere as Guru?

Hahaha! If your Guru is one that you created, that will take instructions from you, then Amituofo!

Cheers all
