[--- English Summary Translation by Lotuschef. Readers may choose to do their own translation too! :) ---]

有一天。
有一位大德居士問我：「顯相有意義嗎？」
我答：「有！」
（這是在世俗諦的說法）

One day, a student asked me: Is there meaning to showing form?

I replied: Have!

(This is sentient worldly view-point.)

例如：
我在韓國看到高矗的「藥師琉璃光如來」立相，我向大佛頭面頂禮，繞佛三匝。
在歸途上的三摩地中：
藥師如來顯相。藥王菩薩、藥上菩薩顯相。日光菩薩、月光菩薩顯相。十二藥叉神將顯相。等等等等眷屬顯相。
我心中想：
「我的病會好！」
後來，我的病真的完全痊癒了！

For example: When I was in Korea, I paid homage to Bhaisajyaguru's standing statue and circling it 3 rounds.

On the return trip, as I was in Samadhi, Bhaisajyaguru showed form together with his court and retinue of Boddhisattvas and Dharmapalas.

I think to myself: My illness will be healed!

Later, my illness fully healed!

又例如：
我在中國大陸，由北京飛太原，於飛機上，三摩地中，見到阿彌陀佛的金身顯相。
三十二相。
紫金摩尼光。
圓形頭光。
渾身背光。
足下放紅光。
這是我畢生之中，看見阿彌陀佛最是莊嚴的法相了。
我意會到：
「阿彌陀佛將隨我遊歷整個中國大陸，而且護佑我平安吉祥。」
主要的原因是：
「足下放紅光」。

Another example:

When I was flying within Mainland China, from Beijing to Tai Yuan, when in Samadhi on board, I saw Amitabha Buddha showing his golden form.

32 forms. Purplish gold mani light. Rounded crown light. Full body silhouette light. Red light emitted under feet.

This is the most dignified Dharma form of Amitabha Buddha that I have seen in my life.

I perceived that: Amitabha Buddha is accompanying me in touring the whole of Mainland China, and protectively blessing me with safety and auspiciousness.

Then main reason is: Red light emitted under feet.

又例如：
「SARS」（煞死）在流行的時候，我的內心非常沉重，唸「大救難咒」。
忽然有一日。在三摩地中。
我看見「瑤池金母大天尊」（仙王），瑤池金母現百寶光明，祂拿了一個白色的小袋子給我。
囑我去救「煞死」。

Another example: 

During the [SARS] epidemic, my heart was very heavy, chanting [Great Calamities Mantra]

Suddenly in Samadhi one day, I saw [Golden Mother of the Yao Pond] the Fairy King, showing lots of precious light, giving me a small white pouch and instructing me to go rescue [SARS].

A Qian-kun pouch

Depiction of Qian Kun Constellation in the universe

我看見白色小袋，遇風變大，如同一個大乾坤袋一般。
白色的小袋子，變成了大乾坤袋，無窮無盡深不可測。
大乾坤袋在虛空中，像「吸心大法」一樣的，把「煞死」的細菌全吸入袋中。
我想：「煞死，就要結束了！」
後來：果然非常神，非常妙，那麼多的細菌，一天之內，全部無影無蹤。

I see the little white pouch enlarged upon meeting with wind, just like a big "Qian-Kun" pouch.

It's capacity is immeasurable and like "Sucking Heart big method", sucked in all [SARS] viruses.

I think: SARS will soon end!

Later: Truly amazing as so much viruses disappeared without trace within a day.

<Qian & Kun, are names of constellation. GM used them here probably means a pouch large enough to bag up the whole universe, including all [SARS] viruses.>

我寫了這幾則顯相，證明「顯相不是沒有意義的」。

I wrote this article to show that [Showing form is not meaningless].

親愛的聖弟子：Saintly Students:

一般而言，佛法的形式，有世俗諦的，也有勝義諦的。

Broadly speaking, Buddha Dharma has meaning of worldly and Elemental Truth forms.

我們在世俗諦中，最要緊的是不執不惑，隨它來，隨它去。

In worldly perspective, the most important is Not Fixated Not Confused, let it come or go.

而勝義諦中，我們對「空性」中產生的「顯相」，不去攀執，任其顯，任其隱，只是我們用「明性」去覺之而已。

Whereas in Elemental Truth, our view on [show form] produced when in [Void nature], do not extend fixation, let it show or hide, as long as we use [Understand Nature] to feel it.

重點還是在明白「自心的本質」。
Important point is to Understand [One's own heart's nature].

Dear all, 

Note that GM was in Samadhi when he has the the "Sightings"! 

Hahaha!

If you have yet to achieve the Samadhi state with ease, then you are unable to have these "Sightings"!

May 2009 - I remember one such sighting after visiting a Dragon King's temple in Taiwan, near a lake named Dragon King Lake.

Drawn on the walls of the temples are the 8 Fairies and a young version of Golden Mother of the Yao Pond sitting in a "wheel chair" with her attendants beside her. 

I also had a good look at the Dragon King's statue that is a standing upright one.

I get seasick when in small boats, thus I stayed behind and waited for the rest of the group to return from the lake cruise! :)

Hehe! 

I sat talking to the Dragon King!

On board the tour-bus after leaving the temple, I started to cultivate.

In Samadhi, Dragon King appeared together with the 8 fairies and Golden Mother.

Then a temple with 8 fairies circling on top and Golden Mother within appeared.

The whole scene was full of golden light.

~~~~~~~

24 August 2008 - While chanting High King Avalokitesvara Sutra, I saw a rice-coloured lotus with 8 petals started to bloom and radiating great light. 

That is 3 weeks or 21 days from 3 August 2008; after taking refuge with GM Lu.

31 August 2008 - While chanting 100 syllable mantra, a mid-night blue coloured lotus also bloom and radiating great light too.

GM Lu gave the debut transmission of Hevajra in Seattle, later that day.

Note that the lotuses bloomed SEVEN days apart! :)

Hahaha! 

Still remember that GM said the chakras "opened" 7 days apart?

Multiples of SEVEN!

~~~~~~~~

I sincerely hope that all will take note of what GM shares and cultivate with diligence adhering to GM Lu's teachings or instructions.

I also hope that all steer clear of those that have yet to achieve Guru Yoga and churn their own misguided version or interpretation of GM Lu's statements.

Cheers all.
