經得起磨打 Able to Withstand Pounding

The following is part of the brief summary of GM Lu's speech by a certain VM.

Extracted, is a story that GM Lu shared.

蓮生法王繼續講授「大圓滿法」

有一個故事是這樣的：

同樣是一塊木頭一棵樹，一半雕成一尊佛，一半做成馬桶的蓋子，

這馬桶很不服的問佛陀，為什麼大家都坐在我身上卻去禮拜佛，

From the same tree and its wood, half was carved into a statue of Buddha and the other as WC cover,

WC cover felt unjust and asked the Buddha, Why everyone sit on my body but pay homage to the Buddha,

       

佛陀說：因為做馬桶蓋很容易，但雕一尊佛卻要經過千刀萬塑，一筆一刀慢慢刻出來。
Buddha said: Because WC cover is easy to make, but carving a statue of Buddha need to go through thousand cuts and ten thousand moulding, everyone stroke and cut is done slowly.

所以我們要經得起磨打，耐得住寂寞，扛得起責任，肩負如來的使命，這樣出家才有價值，要不然只是外相，本來出家前煩惱少，出家後反而煩惱多，這樣是不對的。

Therefore we need to be able to withstand pounding, persevere through loneliness, able to lift burden of responsibilities,  shoulder directives of Buddha,  Ordained this way then have worth or value, else is only external form or appearance only, originally has less worries/problems before ordination to be a monk/nun, however after ordination the opposite occurred in increase of worries, this is not right.

Few days ago, during a chat with GM Lu, Visions of contents from lotuschef.blogspot.com flashed by.

Temple building?

Hahaha! 

This blogspot was set up end October 2010, almost 5 years ago!

Unbeknown to us who manned it, it has developed into a Virtual Temple, sharing almost all One's needs to cultivate from start to "finish"! 

Sometime in between, a minor disruption caused by the fellow student who gifted us with the domain lotuschef.org, and then shut it down abruptly, we lost photos but not text of articles within that period.

Also the missiles from TBS' core, and its lackeys, continue to pound at Lotuschef with lots of false and frivolous allegations or accusations! 

Hehe! 

Like the statue of Buddha, we survived!

To those that still deluded about your successes in pounding us and  exterminating us, or Lotuschef, time to wake up.

Lotuschef and Pure Karma has set up a Virtual Temple, strong enough to withstand pounding and 'distancing'!

Remember the article in this blog about "GM's Secret Army"?

Never never ever forget that "A True Buddha Knows Best"!

Lotuschef and Pure Karma hereby give sincere thanks to Core and all its lackeys, for helping us stay strong and also helped us lessen the insincere crowd from wasting our precious time! 

Merci Beaucoup! 

Cheers all
