Assignment [3] - Comments A


Comments from AA for Assignment [3]:

At what stage in cultivation [Time] is [Essence/Essential] ?
....................
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who teaches him that wisdom only exists for the sake of putting it into practice; that it is only good insofar as it benefits all living beings.

Reference (http://lotuschef.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/the-gandavyuha-sutra-from-avatamsaka.html)

And at what stage in cultivation [Time] is not [Essence/Essential]?

...................


Pure Karma: 
You didn't read the questions properly.
please understand the questions first.

AA: Ok… very difficult this one hehehe
Thx for your reply

Pure Karma: 
not really! :)

It is very basic, like Assignment [1], all basics topics like
What is Cultivation?
What is Smoke offering?
What is 6-realm vajra mantra?


Then [2] is a basic that GM shares and an Important Key to Cultivation.


Now [3] also asking you some basic knowledge of Cultivation, with the Factors, Time & Essence/Essential.

Hahaha!

Think deeply and go back to Basics!

Most of you know but didn't practice Application of Knowledge!

Cheers
~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all,
Like Assignment [1] & [2], the Comments submitted for [3] evidenced the same problem!

That is Lack of Knowledge Comprehension, thus the resultant of Failure of Application or Execution.

These Failures to Execute or Apply are One's own hindrance to 任运自如 Execute at Ease & at Will; something a True Yogi can do all the time! :)

If you are truly sincere in Cultivation, then please armed Self with lots of knowledge and then practice application or execution for benefit of all! 

No Hint will be given for Assignment [3].

Closing dateline : 31 July 2014 - Tonight, at 12 midnight. 


Cheers all

Auras 磁场 - Energy Flow ［能量］流


AA: don't share my comments with anyone. else they submit them n won't be their own efforts!
However, remember that even spirits in Hell also can cultivate. 
GM wrote 1 article about teaching spirits to do 9-steps breathing!

So like the PR said: you need to participate, a good guide or spiritual leader, n the instructions.

Affinity with Buddha or GM!


BB: yes, i don't share them, let them do their own research and conclude by themselves
yes, participation
even mr chen also wrote that, it depends on yourself
just like what you've been emphasising


AA: ya. what ZZ did for [2] was terrible. Copied just to submit something!
doing without sincerity n diligent effort from Self
did u see YY's video?
there's an evil feel in him. hehe!


BB: haven't watched yet
i will go to the link

This is interesting, from the silas of vajrayana:

103) If repetition is done without wisdom of sunyata and the repeater asks for siddhi, it will be a seed for a spirit, ghost, or worldly deity to come. 

Also known as the Dharma-eye; this is seeing through prajñā—undivided awareness in perfect wisdom yoked with the Tathagatakaya (the Luminous Spirit-Body-Mind of the Tathagata). The nature of śūnyatā, or the fundamental component of reality is fully revealed.

 104) If repetition is done in a lustful mind, and the repeaters ask for siddhi, it will be a seed for a Yaksha [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaksha] to come.
 


AA: like XX, got a evil look

BB: mmmm no wonder when people who practise mantra recitation blindly, they don't know who come to them

AA: i think I talked about this before, Like attract like! same frequency
JSS is a good example


BB: yes hor
oh he's the disciple of .....
wah you can see deeper, that he has an evil feel
but the expression of his face is making me a bit uncomfortable, i dont know why

AA: the video has his aura changing with his speech & as he thinks! Thus energy moves around

BB: ah no wonder


AA: this also applies to when you have [No thought]!
your firmness gives out only a shine but NO negative energy.

hui neng said : all thoughts are evil!
this is probably what he means!

hehe!
when you break free n some how formless, thus others can't read you!

BB: i agree
your comprehension is amazing

AA: Hehe! I am crazy, remember?
Lots of crazy stuff in my head too

BB: accomplished people are usually labelled crazy

AA: :-)

BB: since they act in opposite of the norms accepted by the society
:) hahahaha

AA: At least got ppl like u who knows! Hehe!

BB: i read that when people cultivate tantra, they have to have the pride of the buddha
well you have displayed it

Dear all,
Topic here is [No thought] & [Energy Flow].
When you can really achieve a state of [No Thought], No one can read your aura or your mind! :)

When [No thought] abides, as per GM, (27-7-2014 speech in Seattle), 
禅 －不受外面影响
定 －一心不乱

Then you can see lights and also dots of Blue-lights which is your own Buddha Nature.

So, please listen attentively to GM and try to comprehend.

Cheers all

Whats these 3 Assignments For?


Look at all 3 assignments properly, please.

What have you missed?

What did Assignment [1] revealed to You, a suppose to be sincere cultivator?
Not one comment Truly shows Boddhicitta!
Why?

Because from the Beginning, you don't know what you are doing when you took refuge vows!
Then you just blindly follow the leader and READ through the Sadhana without an iota of understanding what you are doing!

Assignment [1] aims to tell you to go back to Building Fundamentals before you proceed to claim you are cultivating and doing well!

Harsh? NO!
Instead of looking at BB using the 4 Noble Truths & its 8 Fold Noble Paths, most of you judged BB and Sentenced Him as Greedy, Power crazed; For Self only; .....
For those that plaster all these negatives onto BB, wake up!

Your version of BB is actually your very own Identical Twin!

Hahaha!


Now Assignment [2], a part or essence of True Buddha Sutra,which flows from GM's Heart!
A Bodhi Gem, so to speak. :)

Some did research and one student went to translate the Bahasa version of GM's explanation of this topic, into English to share too.

Thats effort to show how sincere this student is, in learning!

This Assignment evidenced how many really bluffing themselves all the time, and Ego prevented them from admitting they don't know the True Essence of Cultivation and also don't bother to go learn at all!

What a waste?
With a Root Guru, who is a Living Buddha too!

After  Assignment [2], we can clearly see that most have never Truly or sincerely care for GM Lu and his teachings. To most, as long as you can afford to pay, GM or his representative, will make things Right for you all the time. You don't need to bother or waste time in cultivation.

Note that at this juncture, it is very obvious that you were never "On Board" & thus there is no need to or no cause to complain that GM has abandoned you!

AH! Now you know why Pure Karma seems to have abandoned some students, immediately after Assignment [2]!

Hahaha!

Now Assignment [3], asking you something about Cultivation!
Frankly speaking, this is the most difficult one to answer for most!
Why?
For most that didn't Clear [1] & [2], [3] is something you can never figure out or imagine at all!

However, all of you are welcome to send in your comments if you are game to try or give yourselves a redeeming chance!

So far, Comments received for Assignment [3], all don't understand the Topic!

Even if I give you any hints, they also won't help you!

Hahaha! GM shared Mahamudra previously and now Maha perfection, how many of you understand?
Well, GM said on the most recent Sunday, most VM & students have yet to cultivate well!
That's what Assignment [1] & [2] are about!

No answers will be release by Pure Karma or Lotuschef for Assignment [3]!
We might give you some pointers though!

Why don't you go have a good look at Assignment [1] & [2] first, to try and grasp what went wrong with You, Individually?

Please do not send any more Comments for [1] & [2], we will not reply anymore.

You Missed the Boat!

There will not be anymore such Assignments in the near future too!
Frankly speaking, they are too much work for me to look into, on top of my regular homework!

I also hereby claim the Luxury of being LAZY! :)

Assignment 3 - Comment [1]



Assignment 3



在修行中的什么阶段 ［时间］是 ［精华／要］？
又在什么阶段 ［时间］不是 ［精华／要］？

At what stage in cultivation [Time] is [Essence/Essential] ?
And at what stage in cultivation [Time] is not [Essence/Essential]?

~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Fashi

The following are my comments on assignment 3. 

Firstly, let me explain my views on 佛法的精华 (Translated as: Essence of Buddha Dharma)。

The first part consist of 

The second part consist of 

To sum up all these 20 words, it simply means “to have ..... &  to have ........”。

修行就是要学这个。..........

至于在什么阶段是不是精华，................。

So my summary is : 时时刻刻都要有............

This is my understanding of the topic. If I'm not on the right track, pls let me know n I'll work hard again.

Cheers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The topic is TIME.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all,


Why the Assignments?
I have explained that these are Exercises in Mind Training that each Sincere Cultivator needs to arm themselves with.
Also it is a Wake-up Call to all, it is Time to Open Your Minds to Reality!
You failed to Yoga or get any yogic responses, because you lack Theory part to support your practical usages or executions.


I recall the lyrics to a canto-pop song that I re-write in dedication to GM.
On 13 June 2010, I read these lyrics out loud in Mandarin, at a Birthday Dinner in honor of GM's upcoming birthday. I also sang this song at the function.

I also wrote 2 articles: Arrows of Enlightenment; with the lyrics of this song.


I took refuge with GM Lu on 3 August 2008.
Yes! This coming 3 August 2014 is my 6th birthday with GM Lu!


This song just pops into mind 2days ago! :)
I have been singing it hence, in dedication to GM.

Sending arrows of enlightenment through Song?
Not acceptable?


GM said: when you are enlightened, what name anyone choose to call you is really immaterial and you won't react happily or angrily at all! :) [These are in recent Saturday's speech by GM.]


Hahaha!
In Actual Fact: Reading the lyrics out loud to GM in Mandarin before singing in Cantonese, I have already Personally Submitted my attempt at the Arrows of Enlightenment Assignment, agree?

The thing is, there are so many present at the same function, but none noticed what went on! :)

 [I name this one GM's vow. 师尊的诺言
皈依师佛既是续前缘，从此刻心起启转。
敬爱着您， 时时惦记着您，如今再度许下诺言。
**随着您步越诸世菩提道，随着您脱开生死打转。
铭记佛理，用其转化传奇，方可实践度众诺言。]

From lyrics [铭记佛理，用其转化传奇］- this means to Always bear in mind Buddha's theory/philosophy, then Use it to Transform all into Miracles.

Isn't this synonymous with GM's teaching of combining Theory & Practical, in order to be Enlightened and also to reach Nirvana?
Therefore, Each individual choose to See/Hear what they wish to See/Hear!


The Topic is TIME & NOT - Buddha Dharma!

From You-tube: Interview with Ponlop Rinpoche

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmYpHub5bfY



Listen to this one. :)

The realisation of nature mind or Awakening doesn't depend on any outer form, retreat or ritual.

1. Needs 3 things: Your participation; You need a good guide, spiritual friend or teacher;  and then the Instructions, thats all. 
You have to do it anyway, all by yourself

2. To not to look to far away. Whatever you are looking for is right there, close to you. 
Further you fly away, you have lesser chance to find it.

Hahaha! 

Short & Sweet enough?

Hmmm. Sounds so simple too, agree?

Why create so much Suffering, Unhappiness & Pain to Self and Others?



THINK:
GM said in this early morning session, our time, that is you can't let go, you can concentrate oo focus one One, then you won't be able to reach Realisation or Enlightenment.

GM also said within the vehicle transporting him to and from events, there were only a few students, but personalities battles exist too amongst these handful of students.
Hahaha! 
Thats Sentient Realm that each Individual holds on to, even when they are in the close confine with a Living Buddha! 

Go ponder on the above. :)

The Aspiration of Samantabhadra 普贤王如来祈愿文

Penetrating Wisdom: The Aspiration of Samantabhadra Paperback – July 8, 2014



A description of the Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen path of awakening, with instructions and guidance for following it.
With deep compassion, sharp observations, and arresting metaphors, the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche explicates "The Aspiration of Samantabhadra" for both new and experienced practitioners.

This Dzogchen prayer explores the different manifestations of rigpa, our basic awareness in daily life, and constitutes a set of instructions for refining the path of practice. 

Taken from material from a series of talks in Germany and the United States, Penetrating Wisdom includes the text of the prayer, Rinpoche's always-lively commentary, and lucid answers to questions posed by his students.


This book is a commentary on an ancient, well-known Tibetan Buddhist prayer of aspiration that expounds on the Dzogchen path to enlightenment. 

Containing key fundamentals about the Vajrayana path--the guru-student relationship, the role of faith in Vajrayana Buddhism, recognizing basic awareness, and the notion of reality that is beyond mental concepts--this book is a clear and accessible explication of a complex system of philosophy and meditation techniques that are central to Tibetan Buddhism.


Buddhism and Cultural Forms | Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche


Dear all, 
I have yet to read the book of Penetrating Wisdom, but from the above video, a plus point is Ponlop Rinpoche speaks good English! :)

The Chinese version 
like the Flower Adornment Sutra 华严经, is not easy for most to decipher or comprehend. :)

Rest assured that if you have the Relevant Affinity, you will be taught with Alternative Means, that are Customised to your needs and mindset.

Thats also what the above video is about, Forms.
However, the video is about Cultural Forms, which are Forms inculcated through someone's else mindset and habits, that is someone becomes the leader and the rest just follow this leader. 

This is pretty similar in concept to what I have shared about Giving up Control of your own Destiny to someone else! 

Go enjoy the book and the video.

Assignment 2 - Late Submission [2] - A Fresh Angle




Sun, Jul 27, 2014 at 1:28 AM
Hi Fashi,

Sorry for my late submission.
I am still digesting what i read recently and hope to apply my understanding on your topic on
"修行以无念为正觉佛宝"。

I had just finished 普贤王如来祈愿文 while on a business trip for 2 weeks.
It is a very good read that i would recommend. I read it while on plane.

I would like to try to offer my understanding on your topic through my understanding on the teachings of Samantabhadra.

Brief introduction of 普贤王如来祈愿文:
这是大圆满本初佛普贤王如来的祈愿。
祂是法身正觉佛, 是真理的證悟身。

修行: Meaning Cultivation
You need to explain what is Cultivation or what it means to you. :)

无念: It may not necessarily mean 无念头, no thoughts. 
Or try not to think of anything or refrain or supress thoughts that arise from 贪, 嗔, 痴。

In 普贤王如来祈愿文, it focus on 本觉。本觉指的就是證悟或正觉的根本境界。

本觉也是我们的自心。而自心本性原本就是清净的, 原本就是佛果。

*This is an important point:
本觉 = 自心 = 正觉 = 佛果 = 清净 (this is the original state, 本初)

无念 might not mean No Thoughts or refrain/ suppress the thoughts from the physical "head/brain".

In fact thoughts always arise from the heart (自心)。
And it clouded your 本觉 (refer to * if you are confuse).

And the more you suppress or engage it, the more it will spread like wild fire.

In contrary, we "welcome", "accept" and "recognize" the thoughts as it arises from 贪, 嗔, 痴 as its natural state. 
No judging, no denying, no supressing...just look at it at its natural state like how its true self reflected in a mirror. 
只要认出, 观察它就好。
不需要以逻辑作任何推理, 不需要概念化地禅修任何东西。
让它起于心, 息于心。This is, in a way, 无念 state.

安歇在情绪原本的状态中, 我们的心便会慢慢回归到自心根本的本觉境界, 了悟赤裸无遮的本觉根本境界时, 佛智自然而展现。

By observing at 贪, 嗔, 痴 in its natural state. 
We slowly free ourselves from 贪, 嗔, 痴 actually. 
The antidote comes from the poison itself.


This is a method of transformation or as you said: poison & antidote!

We use Buddha Dharma or Buddha's method to resolve "issues" created by Self & thus only Self can eliminate. :)

Few weeks ago, a HK Drama - Return of the Condor Hero 神雕侠女 appeared in my vision.

The scene was at a cliff and some of them were poisoned.
Then they found the antidote nearby! :)
Their theory is that Poison & Antidote CO-EXIST in the same place or nearby.

I have been thinking about it and chatting to GM on this one too. :)

Thus GM also spoke about [贪, 嗔, 痴] in 2 opposing Usages!

Using the good to counter the bad!

I also wrote about Maintaining Universal Balance!
Same concept as Middle Path Theory.


Therefore, in Higher Conceptual perspective, as long as we don't touch the Poison, then we have no need of the Antidote!

Actually, there are lots of theory to ［无念]!
There is really No Absolute in terms of Buddha Dharma & Philosophy. :)

As long as you can convince Yourself & Cultivate to Attain [No Thought], You can Yoga easily with any Buddha, Boddhisattva, Dharmapala, or Deity; or a combination of them too!


Someone link [No Thought] to [Samadhi].

However, have to clarify that [Samadhi] is a state that One can be moving about or at rest!
Most think that in [Samadhi], One should be at Rest, no moving, inactive!

[No Thought] as per the 6th Zen Patriarch, Hui Neng, is a state when One is unaffected by any thought with resulting action/actions.
A single thought can expand into Thought Chain/Chains, like Cancer Cells multiplying, resulting in Lethal and Fatal consequences.

At some stage, one has to apply [Halt/Stop] [止].

What's your problem?
Hahaha!

Same as most or all of us, me too!
We mixed up ideology or philosophy of Buddha in all their various stages and myriad mindsets INTO ONE, when we attempt to discuss a topic like [No Thought].

Actually, Avatamsaka or Flower Adornment Sutra has very clear statements, that states that Buddha has Infinite ways Customised to succour Each Individual, as per their Individual Intelligent level or corresponding to Individual's Karmic Influences.


So in Assignment, submission from each one is look into and gauged.

Like the article: Gave Up On Self, this one finds Assignment 1 - BB's Email too much and gave a ton of excuses.

WHY?
Buddha's Affinity has yet to ripen or matured.

This one is just not ready at the present moment, thats all.
It doesn't mean that we will neglect or abandon this one completely. :)

Another Student, makes references to materials from GM, Padma Guru, Tilopa, Hui Neng, .....

Cultivation also means your Vows to make a difference to Self and ALL by learning and practicing to benefit ALL, including Self.
But Prioritising All before Self!

This happened when we took refuge vows!

It was a real wakeup with BB's email, that most didn't even practice these Vows at Refuge.

Is it anyone's fault but Self that are not practicing as Vowed?

Cultivation also means that It is a Responsibility Only of Self!

Hahaha!

There are many aspect to explaining Cultivation alone, concur?

You brought up lots of "Abstract" ideology & concepts which you need to explain clearly to yourself though. :)

Because YOU are the one that has to practice accordingly to your Individual Mindset & Not Me or any one else!

Hahaha! I had lots of Fun!
How about you? :)
Thus, the importance of 无念 in our cultivation.

This is my preliminary understanding of your "修行以无念为正觉佛宝" through 普贤王如来祈愿文.

I hope it's ok. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Many thanks and goodnight,

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adibuddha 普贤王如来



Among the many endowments with which Nepal Mandala is blessed, few are more significant than its Buddhist heritage.
The closely packed Viharas distinguishing the townscapes, the glittering Stupas add lustre, and the glory of stone sculptures is everywhere. 
Bronzes, paintings, and manuscripts on Buddhist themes have spread the Valley's name far afield. But it is perhaps of great significance that here alone Mahayana Buddhism has survived as a living tradition. 
The Kathmandu Valley is not an immense museum of Buddhist antiques, but it is unique oasis of surviving Mahayana Buddhist doctrine, cultural practices and colorful festivals. 
These opening remarks of Mary Shepherd Slusser in Nepal Mandala, vol. 1, chapter 10, need no commentary as her sharp observation with academic understanding is a well established factor among the Nepalese Buddhism-scholars. 

Buddhism in the Valley, is believed to have influence people from the Buddha's time as there is ample evidence of Ananda's, the dearest disciple of the Buddha, visit of the Valley. 

But the traditional Buddhists believe that this Valley-a big lake in the pre-historic time was chosen by the Adi-Buddha-the Primordial or the Self-existent Buddha- who had revealed himself in the form of a flame issuing out of a lotus (Swayambhu Purana-a Buddhist chronicle- supports this belief). 
This Adi Buddha concept was conceived by Vajrayana-tantric sect in Mahayana- as an afterthought to five Dhyani Buddhas (meditating Buddhas). 

But he was accepted as the progenitor of the five Dhyani Buddhas and their families. 

In Nepal he is worshipped as Swayambhu-unborn or self-created- and the main stupa in Kathmandu is devoted to him.

Originally, since there were no divinities in Buddhism, there were no objects of worship, but during Hinayani phase the symbolic stupa, foot-prints, empty throne, bodhi tree, and the Dharma chakra filled this void and, at length, the image of Buddha himself-the credit for image cut goes to Mathura Art School of India, started most probably during the 1st century B. C. and 1st century A. D. 

As time went on, the orthodox Mahayana was superseded by more humane and liberal tantric aspect resulting in the powerful Vajrayana Buddhism which swept the religion-culture scene of India since 7th century A. D. 
Because of the free communications between India, Nepal and Tibet, this Vajrayana spread in the same century with changes as in Tibet it accepted the native Bon shamanism and the result was a powerful Lamaist tradition- hitherto maintained with great respect. 

In Nepal it seemed to have accepted the local Shivite cult. 

The rituals performed by the tantric Buddhist Priests of Nepal, Tibet and Shingon sect of Japan are based on the same tantric texts. 

Anyway, from 7th century onwards, we have ample evidence of this influential tantric Buddhism flourishing in the Valley. 

Lord Buddha had revealed the path of Mantra- later it was termed as Vajrayana- to his disciples having exceptional power as a shorter path to achieve enlightenment of buddhahood in a single life-span.


The iconography from Adi Buddha:

Though an abstract concept, he is given the iconography from of either Vajradhara or Vajrasattva open represented with his consort locked in sexual union (Mithun in Sanskrit and yabyum in Tibetan): seated in meditating position, heavily ornamented. 
with two of his four arms crossed on front of his chest, 
carrying in his hands the Vajra (thunderbolt) and the Ghanta (bell), 
the former, symbolizing shunyata (the Ultimate Reality or void), 
the latter Upaya (Skill in Means) . 

To sum up, the Adi Buddha or Swayambhu or Vajradhara or Samantabhadra is the 
abstract concept of the Ultimate Reality, 
which Vajrayana equates with Void or emptiness to imply that is a state of being of perfect spirituality, 
totally free from and existential of phenomenal bonds. 
Hitherto found evidence confirm his presence since 10th century onward. 
Vajrayanists believed from him the pancha dhyani Buddhas emanated.

能显自然根本智普贤王如来祈愿文 Adibuddha's Invocation Verse



能显自然根本智普贤王如来祈愿文

吙！（音huo第一声）
显空轮涅诸幻相　 一根二道二因果  觉与无明所化现　 普贤如来广大愿
令一切融法界宫　 速证圆满佛陀位  真如体性本无为　 法尔自在绝妙境
原本轮涅无此名　 觉了法尔即佛陀  众生无明堕轮回　 普愿三界诸有情
证得离言真实义　 普贤如来如实曰  真如本性离因缘     法尔原本自在智　

内外增减过犯无    失念暗垢无挂碍　故尔自显离染垢    自性原本清净住　

三界纵恶亦无惧   五欲爱执无贪恋　 觉显无别自然智    自性明空无挂碍　

本净无色无五毒    根本自性具五智  于此五智圆满境     自显五智如来佛

广大无量智慧中 显现寂静四十二　 勇猛五智威光力    显现六十饮血尊

本体元明未迷失 我即原始本初佛 　悲心发起广大愿    轮回三界有情众　

了知自然本觉明 直至圆满无量智　 我之化身无间断　 刹那化现无量尊

一切所求善调伏　 我发广大悲宏愿 三界轮回有情众　 六道苦厄悉解脱

众生无始无明故　 迷失根本之自性 无知失念住黑暗　 此即无明轮回因　

从彼惊恐闷绝中　 念动惊醒生怖畏   故起自他贪嗔执　 习气熏染渐增长

世间习性随生起　 五蕴炽盛苦恼逼   五毒恶业无间断　 众生迷惑之根源

即是无明与失念　 由我普贤广大愿   一切皆明自心性　 俱生无明蔽本觉　

失念迷蒙散乱心     诸相分别因无明   自他二取执为实      俱生分别与无明　

即是众生颠倒因     由我普贤广大愿　 令诸轮回有情众     消除失念之黑暗 　

清净能所二取执 了知真实自心性　 心著二执起犹豫　 生起微细贪著心

习气深重令增长　 食住衣财及伴侣 亲友眷属五欲等　 贪著欲乐炽热恼

彼令世间惑幻生　 由是二取业无尽　 贪欲果报成熟时　 投生贪恼饿鬼中

常受难忍饥渴苦　 由我普贤广大愿    普令贪欲诸有情　 不舍外来贪欲境

不著贪欲生起处     自心安住本明觉     真实觉了松坦住　 得证胜妙观察智　

外境所显诸幻相　 念动微细怖畏生      仇怒习气增长嗔　 忿起杀害怨敌心

嗔忿果报成熟时　 长受地狱苦煎熬     由我普贤广大愿　 普令六道诸众生

嗔忿猛烈增长时　 自心放松莫取舍     真实觉了松坦住　 得证胜大圆镜智　

由于自心起傲慢　 于他生诸竞争心      如是猛烈盛傲慢    自他争斗起苦恼

彼业果报成熟时　 暂生天道报尽堕     由我普贤广大愿　 令傲慢心诸众生

自心放松明心性　 真实觉了松坦住     得证胜平等性智　 二取执实染习气

自赞毁他痛苦业    增长争斗嫉妒心     投生杀戮罗刹道　 报尽堕入地狱中

由我普贤广大愿    嫉妒争斗生起时    莫起怨恨心松坦　 真实觉了宽坦住

得证胜成所作智   失念不正及散乱　 昏沉迷糊及忘失     昏睡懈怠愚痴者

果报畜生无依怙 由我普贤广大愿　 令心愚痴黑暗者 显露净心住正念　

得证法界体性智　 三界所有诸众生　 真如体性与佛等    失念故成颠倒因　

不断造诸无义业 犹如梦幻投六道　 我即原始普贤佛     化身调伏六道众　

由我普贤广大愿 令诸众生一无余　 皆得成就法界中

啊吙！ 具慈瑜伽大力者　 了知自明离惑幻 已发如是广大愿　

闻此誓愿诸众生  于三世内必成佛　 尤于日蚀月蚀日  风灾雷暴地震时　

冬至夏至或年节  自身观修为普贤　 敬诵此愿于众前   令诸三界有情众　

由彼瑜伽行者愿   灭苦解脱生死海　 获证究竟佛陀位
是根松成林曲杰嘉才仁波且所译；

B 本誓愿广大无边，依此而颂即可能得到自然根本智，和慧能大师当初顿悟的“无所住而生其心”是一致的；其论述对修心性和转识成智的实修指导作用巨大，和禅宗的无上心法也是一致的；印证了禅宗历史上达摩祖师的顿造成佛和慧能大师的顿悟成佛是真实不虚的；

C 本博将组织共修此无上心法，让诸同修共沐广大佛恩，弘扬普贤王如来的无边威德，助诸同修早日觉悟，自觉觉他，觉行圆满，早日完成净化天地人的宏愿。

Late Submission [1]



Sat, Jul 26, 2014 at 10:59 PM
Dear Fashi,

My reply :
修行 -

无念 - 指的是没有念头。[Means do not have Thought.]

正觉-

佛宝 -

Summary :

无念为正觉佛宝 - 

~~~~~~~~~

This one really has a big problem! 

Copying format from 

Noticed that [修行] are missing from Summary of Submission [9] & likewise this one?

Hehe!

Other than copying format, this person didn't do too well in explaining the individual items.

He made a real great Blunder too.

GM said very clearly that Only Stones or Rocks, then do not have thought!!!

Sad this person didn't listen well to GM! 

A seemingly simple and short statement, turns out to reveal how many really didn't listen and learn from GM with sincerity and needless to say, didn't plough in Diligent efforts too!

No evidence of research done too! 

All regulars of Pure Karma that didn't turn in submission On Time, that is 12 Noon 26th July 2014, will be ban from personal attendance at Pure Karma private events, held by Lotuschef.

This Ban remains until further notice or until GM gives signal that they have show improvement.

Remember, Lotuschef only listens to GM Lu, and No One Else! 

Yuks! 
Pretty unpalatable stuff! 


Cheers all
