BB: merci
AA: de rien
BB: How about you reply to the Blind person and ask when he got blind and how he took refuge, when and thru what channel
: It sounded like a TEST to me 😜
: are there materials for the blind about tantrayana?
: and read his mastery of language ability too
AA: will do
BB: remember the info he gave that he has just taken refuge!
AA: i was thinking someone wrote for him

: i only found the material for the cultivator without fingers
BB: remember the info he gave that he has just taken refuge!
AA: i was thinking someone wrote for him
: but it might be a test too
: i only found the material for the cultivator without fingers
BB: Would like to ask your guidance on how to cultivate spiritually with this limitation.
Because it is said that Tantra requires its practitioner to perform visualisations.
AA: there are verse, mantra and visualisation
BB: How did he know about me? and who said visualisation needs to be preformed? :)
AA: 😊
BB: THINK: he can write to me, then isn't it best to write to GM Lu, his root guru?
BB: How did he know about me? and who said visualisation needs to be preformed? :)
AA: 😊
BB: THINK: he can write to me, then isn't it best to write to GM Lu, his root guru?
: Disciples should always seek Root Guru first!
AA: yes, who is the person who wrote it to you
BB: and the sick should seek medical attention first
: if someone wrote on behalf, this someone also should have absolute faith in the Root Guru to guide in visible or invisible ways!
AA: 🙏

AA: Hi AD, May I know since when you have been suffering from blindness?
And then how did you take refuge in Grandmaster Lu?
How did you do it? And via what channel did you take refuge?
How have you been doing your cultivation up until now?
You should also seek medical attention to help with your blindness condition.
As a tantric cultivator, one should firstly ask help to his/her root guru and in your case, Grandmaster Living Buddha Lian Sheng.
In addition, one should also have absolute faith that the root guru will guide one in both visible and invisible ways.
Who said that visualisation needs to be performed?
How did you know about me?
As I'm just a disciple of Grandmaster Lu, the same as you, why do you seek help from me?
BB: hahaha! A bit off!
AA: which part?
: first asking for the duration of the blindness he has been suffering : > to inquire whether he got it from birth or not
: and then after taking refuge, inquiring how he has been doing the sadhana up until he sent the letter
BB: Hi AD,
May I know since when you have been suffering from blindness? ~ you know why I asked this? I want to know whether he is able to see before, so he will have memories of visions from the past to help him.
: xxYou should also seek medical attention to help with your blindness condition.xx no need
AA: visualisation is to bind the attention to focus and then let go
: maybe the people around him didn't tell him the function of the visualisation
: ok
BB: Who said that visualisation needs to be performed? ~ he needs to follow the source of this info
As I'm just a disciple of Grandmaster Lu, the same as you, so who directed you to seek help from me?
: his subject is Latihan! you missed this piece of Info hehe
AA : that Latihan is not specifically in what the wiki article writes
: novice will say "latihan" instead of "xiufa"
: that's why i wrote "how has he been doing his cultivation up until now" to inquire the method he has been practising
: no GM's book has been translated to braille as fas as i know
: so if he's blind for a long time, chance that the people around him told him what they know about GM Lu and the cultivations
: and why he could contact you is also interesting
And then how did you take refuge in Grandmaster Lu?
How did you do it? And via what channel did you take refuge?
How have you been doing your cultivation up until now?

: and why he could contact you is also interesting
AA: the thing is who told him about GM Lu?
: asking him how he has been cultivating up till now is a waste of time, cos we all know that most ONLY claimed to cultivate but don't know the RIGHT way!
: so ppl think they know about cultivation
: n told him that visualisation is a necessary part
: BUT none told him that Spiritual guidance direct from One's Root Guru is possible if one is truly sincere
: so where should he start?
: this one is misguided by another ignorant that believes CORE's ways!
: I remember sharing that GM showed me videos to teach me visualizations as I cultivate
: the one I shared in Seattle on 7 Nov 2009 during my maiden dharma speech
: that one is of a Mahamudra level lol
: and involves all beings and the Major key is Boddhicitta
: and in Mar 2009 after months of refuge in Aug 2008
: and the high king visualisation, lotus blooming in the heart chakra, 3 weeks after refuge
: so the visualization guidances also varies in individuals and their Root Potential levels
: but the dharmagarbha has sound recordings of GM's teachings
: even if one can't watch the videos, they can hear the sounds
Quote-[BUT none told him that Spiritual guidance direct from One's Root Guru is possible if one is truly sincere ]
: i fully agree with this because even when one doesn't know about visualisation, the intent and sincerity do count!

Quote-[so the visualization guidances also varies in individuals and their Root Potential levels]
: yes indeed
BB: so what he should do is chant guru's mantra - as much as possible to calm down n relax
: the spiritual guidances will come when his sincerity is FELT!
AA: it's like within the immeasurable methods, there is one in the pure land order that seems not to emphasize on visualisation, a kind of means of convenience
BB: hahaha! its that simple to teach the Blind how to cultivate lol
AA: yes 🙏🙏🙏
: on point!
BB: 84k dharma doors!!! and Application or execution lol
: hehe! doesn't matter whether have title or not too!
: and time from refuge also don't matter
: I was only 3 weeks old when my heart chakra opens
: as per GM, its the hardest to open chakra
BB: so what he should do is chant guru's mantra - as much as possible to calm down n relax

Dear readers,
How to teach a Blind person to cultivate Tantric Dharma?
If you have read the Avatamsaka Sutra through, One key point is that The Buddha has infinite ways or dharma for each Individual, as per their Individual intelligent level and their karmic influences at that particular instant.
So for One that took refuge with GM Lu, the most important thing to do is to Build a Steadfast Link to GM Lu, the chosen Root Guru.
Yes! In order to achieve Guru Yoga, One needs to have a link to one's root guru and this comes from Absolute Faith in One's guru being a True Yogi!
For those that directed others to take refuge in any Tantric Guru, you should also be responsible and help them get in touch with the chosen guru & not a fellow student of the chosen guru! :)
So, the solution is simple!
For a blind person, advise him to chant Guru's mantra sincerely and with due diligence and TRUST the Root Guru to do the necessary!
As to the perceived need to perform visualisations, can you do them well and successfully?
If you can't, don't burden others with your own ignorance!
Absolute Faith in the Root Guru and sincere diligence to Cultivate for the benefit of self as well as all beings!
With Metta
Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom
Lama Lotuschef
