Dear Fashi,

-rules-of-sentient-game-2.html
- Here is my take. After further reading the "Lotus Born",
- i read the part one page 105-108 as attached picture
- (esp the part when Vimalamitra asked "Do you King and Ministers know the meaning of Homage" which was replied by the King " I don't know".
So i will simply explain to the King what is the meaning of Paying Homage as the King expected homage from Padmasambhava earlier and Vimalamitra later upon the consecration of the Temple.
- From Wikipedia
"A prostration (Pali: panipāta, Skt.: namas-kara, Ch.: li-pai, Jp.: raihai) is a gesture used in Buddhist practice to show reverence to the Triple Gem(comprising the Buddha, his teachings, and the spiritual community) and other objects of veneration.
- "The King at that stage was just an ordinary person, he wasn't the object of veneration according to the Buddhist Teaching.
- So he will definitely be in trouble when Enlightened Ones were forced to pay homage at him.
- :D thats all

The student talks about Homage and then quoted the meaning of Prostration!
Hahaha!
A true yogi can pay respect or homage with just a thought and mobilisation of Qi or Light Energy!
What did Padmasambhava & Vimalamitra want to show the King and his court?
See how confused One can be with a simple question?
Most people complicate their own lives, agree?
O! Enlightenment is staring you in the eye but you are too preoccupied to see it!
Cheers all
