Avatamsaka Sutra Book 3 – Enlightened Being, Samantabhadra's Meditation [Review]




Hi all, read Book 3 of this sutra? :)

It's about Samantabhadra's enlightening Meditation; what the Buddhas transmitted to him and his 10 great wishes.


Well, this is an interesting one on Mo-ding!

[--- At this time, all Buddhas of the 10 Directions, each outstretch their right hand to bless Samantabhadra by touching his top/crown.

是时,十方诸佛,各舒右手,摩普贤菩萨顶。 ---]

Remember Guru said when he Mo-ding for everyone, he invokes his Yidam/Yidams & continuously chant mantra silently to transfer the "blessing" from Universe to all?

Hahaha!

Visualize all Buddhas stretches out their right hands to bless Shizun, an enlightened one, and Shizun  in turn transfer these blessing to all of us, with both hands! 

Wonderful, right? 

Great to bask in the Universal Blessing through One's Root Guru!!!

Hahaha! This is only possible when the ones giving blessing is Fully Enlightened and have all Buddhas' blessing and "support", concur?

Shizun said: True Buddhas from True Buddha School! 

Can anyone just sit on a True Buddha Throne when he/she has yet to even achieve Guru Yoga?
Hahaha! 

Definitely NOT! 

Read Stealing Universal Assets & Selling Universal Assets from our blogs? :)

Mo-ding? If the person attempting to do so without Universal authority, he/she may be drawing Positive energy from you to balance their own negative ones, when they practice dark arts! 

Yes! People who practice Dark Arts are domineering and ruthless and mean and violent.
Their eyes often huge and gives you the creeps too! 
Trust your 6th sense and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Hahaha! No kidding! 

Read the story of Milarepa? 
Well, initially, he practiced Dark Arts to revenge on his uncle and aunt, who stole their fortune and ousted his mom, sister and him. Leaving them destitute and became servants to survive.

His Guru, Marpa, didn't teach him anything at first because want to purge his heavy karmic negatives. Therefore, he has a real hard time too, cultivating.

Guru's article about one previous lifetime, when he was King A-Yu.
His wife and son have huge grudges against him and he said History seems to be repeating itself this round. 

Understand that if the wife and son don't cultivate and learn to Let Go of Poison of Aversion for "King A-Yu" ; Greed for revenge; but maintain their "Ignorance" of succoring themselves and free themselves from Samsara, Guru has no choice but to try and "make them happy"! 

Guru also said that he promised his guru to not Fix prices/charges for his services but he said this does not apply to anyone else! 

Likewise, Guru needs to try his best to neutralize past karmic influences with his karmic foes, but does not mean that these influences naturally become the responsibility of all his students.

Guru said: Know what you can do and what you can't! :)


Hahaha! There is a certain limit to the "amount" one has to pay up for past wrongs. 
Like the "Pound of flesh" means no more or less than the One Pound! 
[William Shakespeare - The Merchant of Venice.]


Enjoy the stories? :)

Well, please do read Book 3 of the sutra and discover the wonders within. 

Cheers all.
