Terjemahan Indonesia: Lebih Menderita berarti Lebih Banyak Berkat!
Part of Pure Karma's team of regular volunteers from all over the world. :)
A shijie commented one day while we were preparing offering for fire puja: More Suffering More Blessing!
I told her that is not True!
WHY?
When there is Expectation of Blessing as a result of what you termed Suffering, then what you do is null and void, because you lack Sincerity!
Buddha teaches us to leave Suffering behind and attain Happiness, and we cultivate with this mindset.
Is there Suffering?
Hahaha!
All Self Created, agree?
We were burning incense paper after a session, this shijie said she must have some of each type to offer into the Fire!
The Incense paper offering is dedicated as whole group and who gets to burn which type is of no importance at all!
However, if you think if you burn more then you get more blessing or thanks, then please do not burn any!
As when you are selfishly considering only yourself and depriving others of the opportunity to offer the incense too, you already Lack Sincerity!
If the incense are sponsored by others, like the incense sticks in the temples, then you are in dire straits if you think the more you offer, the more blessing you can get.
I told a student in Ipoh that if you take the temple's incense to offer and ask that you be bless in offering incense, or your named person/persons be blessed; you owe the ones that bought the incense!
However, if you offer incense bought by others and asked that all beings be bless with peace, health and happiness, that's a different kettle of fish!
Did you or did you not sponsor any of the incense that you offer into the incense burners?
I see some of them grab a big stack and leave others without after cultivation session.
You never get to clear your karmic debts but increase them all the time only!
My humble suggestion: Best don't do at all!
Most of the incense for Pure Karma events are sponsored by Lotuschef, do you want to owe a Reverend?
Owing a reverend means you owe All Beings!
Cheers all
