Someone Asked: When & how can one truly LET GO?

 I went out to buy groceries.

After paying, the store holder said: Xie xie shi fu.

I said: O! Don't call shi fu, call fashi. Because I have not taught you anything.

Then he asked me: When & how can one truly Let Go?

 I said: When you hold a cup of boiling hot water and its too hot, so you Let Go of the cup.

So when you can't "take it" anymore, you will learn to Let Go!

Then I said to him: You can now address me as Shi fu cos I have taught you something now.😜

LET GO! 

About 10 years ago, a Dharma speaker (blue collar) started losing scalp hair & was forced to wear a wig. He is one of the participants of the Dragon vest thingy or one of the GANG member facilitating the Sucess of this project!

Recently a fellow student sent me an update of this person's current activities!

Then few days ago, [fashi, that shi-feng really got ousted by the core].

Actually 10 years back when he started to lose scalp hair & forced to wear a wig, he should have LET GO! 

I mean take vows and become a monk, point is to Renounce Sentient World & practice Repentance to save himself.

Like the joke, GM Lu shared ~ Follower asked GOD - why didn't save him. 

God's reply was I sent a boat to rescue you but you refused to board!

Yes! There are many ways, you get "rescue" pointers from your Root Guru, or your God.

BUT! Too Bad! You are too ignorant to accept these Help!

O! For those that are with this GANG, please wake up & do repentance practices that hopefully can save you!

Finally, After 10 Years, A True Buddha Foundation Notice Regarding the Legitimacy of Dragon Robe Sheng Ji Practice

Inset: Grandmaster Lu performing the Sheng Ji Ritual in Rainbow Temple

After about 10 years, finally we can hear from the True Buddha Foundation (TBF) clarifying the commotion-causing ‘dragon robe (vest) sheng-ji’ that were performed in various TBS chapters.

Before jumping to the announcement from TBF, let’s refresh a bit about what happened and what I’ve been suggesting to worldwide disciples way back at that time.

Even if you don't have any idea what Sheng Ji is all about, the summary below can give you a concise clue about the practice.

Lotuschef at Play – Mindfulness

In Tantrayana, we learn to help more and widen our scope as well as our hearts, reaching out compassionately to all sentient beings with methods that seem effortless.

Why effortless? Because of Bodhicitta which is the very essence of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. We are able to cover the whole Universe.

I hope everyone realise what you are doing and why you are doing so during cultivation.

Look inwards for answers and do not be blinded by external packaging.

The student is among one of many that were being lied to, that the sheng ji fa is endorsed by Guru and blessed by Guru.  However, Guru didn’t even give any empowerment transmission for this practice, what more with a Dragon Robe in place of the Geomancy auspicious spot!

I think as we are all members of a large family, TBS, we should apologise and make good any wrong doing as fast as possible.

I also sincerely hope we do not let any of these masters play any of us for fools Anymore!

Lotuschef at Play – 龙袍生基 Dragon Robe Sheng Ji [3]

This is a DO ALSO DIE! / DON'T DO ALSO DIE! kind of case for the chapter/chapters! 

1. If Guru taught him Sheng Ji Fa - Guru didn't teach him must look for a good Fengshui spot with a flowing dragon vein?

He substitute with a dragon robe, adhering it with the same characteristics of the "flowing dragon vein" ? Can he?

He failed to deliver as he did not follows Guru's instruction in completing this method too! What did Guru said on 23 June 2012?

2. If Guru Never teach him before - He lied about Guru's blessing and endorsement to sell the Product for very high prices.

They marketed the product with promises of increasing wealth and ..... they didn't put in the Karmic angle that Guru brought up on 23-6-2012.

In Guru's words on 23-6-2012:  all out to make money!

Lotuschef at Play – What is the Truth?

I went to do research after students shared their problems with me.Then going back to Guru's 23-6-2012 speech, something truly is not right!

The requisites from the Individuals participating are samples of their Hair, Fingers (Thumbs & Last Fingers) & Toes (First & Last Digits) Nails; a drop of blood; a piece cut from worn clothing; their bio data! Some even put coins - value is 10 cents per year of age.

However, only participants bio datas were inserted into the wood and glass case with the Dragon Robe for XX's practices in all similar cases done in several chapters that they frequent.

The receipt said: 龙袍生基 Dragon robe sheng ji.

Do we take it that this is XX's own variation? Well, Guru said need all those he mentioned from the Individuals!

Guru also warned that if sheng ji fa is not done well, the Individual's fate can worsen or be fatal!

Let us not explore the why and wherefore, Individuals wanted to pay for this done.

The chapter where this Dragon Robe is set at, is going to move and the building demolished to give way to new construction.

What is URGENT at this moment is that the Dragon Robe will be MOVED from its current auspicious resting point!!!

Why did Guru buried the envelopes containing the Individuals particulars and samples in the ground which is an auspicious fengshui point with a LIVE Dragon vein? 

For Permanence!!! One does not disturb one's ancestors' graves at whim after burial, correct?

This Dragon Robe thingy really has lots of "irregularities", do you agree?

Well, I had my say and I am not biased or prejudiced!

Little Lotuschef in Lessons – Dragon Robe Sheng Ji?

Liew Wee Chong  I have seen the attached documents, they incite the following queries:

Please see attached document entitled : Guru’s signature.

This document’s title is written as Dragon Robe Sheng Ji.

Blessed dragon robe and Sheng Ji Practice are 2 completely different practice.

Their main characteristics,

 --) Blessing from Dragon robe, is by CONTACT with the HEAD of the one getting the BORROWED blessing of Buddha’s Qi / essence through this contact.

Sheng Ji Practive, (see Guru’s speech in Seattle on 23 June, those aspiring to change their fate or destiny

need matter/sample representing their “life essence” like hair, nails, worn piece of clothing, dip a drop of blood, put into a small packet, buried in an approaching dragon or good geomancical point.

Borrowing this “earth qi” for blessing. Those without merits must do charity, cultivate, chant mantra, in order for this practice to work.

Alright, now the attached document has Misleading Title.

Those aspiring to change their fate or destiny do not need contact with the dragon robe, and also no need to include their representing “life essence”. 

Only need name, birth date and residential address. 

Finally, Guru wrote the 2 character: Jia Chi (bless), dated 7 January  2010 or 1 July.

Fundamentally speaking, this Item gives a nondescript feel.

My guess is : your esteem temple think to get the dragon robe blessed (already has attracting power) add on Sheng Ji  Practice ( also very attracting power) to market to fellow student.

Since Guru already blessed, we have nothing to say. 

However, the Price tag of  $600, might as well let Guru bless, might as well write to Guru for blessing is much better. Guru’s practice is offering of any amount as you wish. Why do I need to exchange $600 for one blessing?

Liew Wee Chong The above is opposing information.

Esteem temple push out  Dragon robe sheng ji practice, with inserting the names into the dragon robe only, the aspirants’ life essence never come into contact with the dragon robe, is opposite to what is written in the above article.

However, since aspirants life essence did not come into contact with the Dragon robe, therefore cannot said that the Dragon’s essence are filled into the aspirants at all!

Question, does this have True effect?

If at the end still needs guru’s blessing, then it is only Guru’s blessing only and not getting the promised effects of the Sheng Ji Fa.

Illogical beginning and conclusion. If you people want to raise funds to build temple, you separate the Dragon robe blessing and Sheng Ji practice. Fees as One wishes, on the other hand, many people will come.

Lotuschef at Play – Individual’s Karmic Debts

These are common questions asked of me: Fashi, why Shizun knows that these people are lying, cheating and harming fellow students, yet leave them be?

Why Indeed?

Guru said: 因果自负！means one answers for one's own karmic deeds!

The recent saga with regards to the Dragon Robe Sheng Ji Practice, is a good example!

…

If XX's team is out to cheat and mislead for personal gains; and not practicing honestly and as taught by their Root Guru; they are perceived to have broken or breach vows of Samaya.

…

If Guru didn't empower XX, and he went ahead and execute any practice not authorized - He breaches Samaya and those that support him are in it with him, all the way.

When XX got empowerment from Guru, but he did not adhere to Guru's instruction in execution, he also breaches Samaya and those that support him are in it with him, all the way.

To all, just wait for Karma to ripen, do not exact any "revenge" or take any actions; just Watch the wonders of Karma Unveils!

No one gets away from his own karma, no matter what he choose to think to the contrary!

[To those that somehow took sides and hit out without knowing the Truth, at True Sanghas which are part of Triple Gems; you have breach Samaya!

To those that tried to talk about Disciplines but also ignorant of what they are doing, you also breaches Samaya!

Finally, to all that stood up and supported those that Had Breach Samaya, you all became part of Collective karma created by the leader.

Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom!

Your only recourse is to break away immediately and repent sincerely!]

And yes, finally after a decade, TBF has finally published the answer for disciples asking about the legitimacy of the said practice.

There are two questions answered in the publication and I'll paste the part regarding the Dragon Robe Sheng Ji only.

The link for the official publication from TBF is also included below.

Sincerely hope that fellow readers and disciples always be cautious about religious scams. Pray to your Grandmaster and take your time to observe your body, speech and mind – whether they have been freed from Greed, Hatred and Ignorance, so that you won’t fall into similar frauds.

With metta.

Dragon Vest Enhanced Life Essence Burial Practice

Official link from TBF: https://en.tbsn.org/tbf/detail/479

【True Buddha Foundation Notice】

The Significance and Proper Protocols When a Dragon Vest Is Included in the Life Essence Burial Practice and Legal Application for True Buddha School Cultivation Venues to Build a Columbarium

Q1: Were the practices known as the “Dharma throne dragon vest life essence burial” and the “on-wall dragon vest life essence burial” transmitted by Guru Buddha? Also, are these practices legitimate life essence burial practices?

A1:

1. Explanation of the significance of life essence burial practice:

According to Chapter 14 “Live Burial Essence Practice Transmitted by Taoist Master, Qing Zhen” in Cryptic Meaning Behind Geomancy for Yin Residences, Book 73 of Guru Buddha’s corpus, the Life Essence Burial Practice is more commonly known as “burial of the living”. The Life Essence Burial Practice is associated with geomancy and is based on the principle that humans are born from the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and have a bold and upright stature. Similarly, earth also contains the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. The Life Essence Burial Practice employs the earth’s infinite spiritual energy to boost one’s spiritual energy, improve one’s health and vitality, and contribute to positive outcomes in one’s endeavors. It can also assist in obtaining a son or a daughter as desired. When applied correctly, this practice can transform bad luck into good luck, defeat black magic, prevent misfortune, and overcome afflictions caused by negative forces and evil spirits.

2. Explanation of the significance and benefits of dragon vest life essence burial practice:

2.1. On June 4, 2010, Guru Buddha delivered a discourse on the dragon vest life essence practice at Dapeng Chapter: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_TV0YDpxfM)，

The following key points have been extracted from the video (05:01):

The earth (ground) is also known as the “dragon”. A dragon nexus is a location where energy has accumulated. Dragon qi is created by burying a dragon vest previously worn by Guru Buddha in the dragon nexus. The dragon of Guru Buddha’s dragon vest is alive and the dragon of the earth is also alive. Because the two dragons come into resonance and enhance each other, using a dragon vest is beneficial to the life essence burial practice. The key point is that, for the practice to be effective, the life essence articles must be buried in a dragon nexus.

2.2. On Sep. 22, 2022, True Buddha Foundation (TBF) sought clarification from Guru Buddha about his discourse given at the Dapeng Chapter. Guru Buddha confirmed that three conditions must be met for enhancing life essence burial practice with a dragon vest:

2.2.a. Guru Buddha has worn the dragon vest.

2.2.b. The location must be a nexus where vital energy gathers and remains. Then and only then is the location suitable for life essence burial.

2.2.c. Life essence articles must be buried in the nexus along with a dragon vest worn by Guru Buddha. The spiritual energy emanating from the dragon nexus, coupled with the presence of Guru Buddha’s dragon vest, causes the owner of the life essence articles to receive amplified blessings. The key point is that both the dragon vest and life essence articles must be buried in the dragon nexus.

3. Following our meeting with Guru Buddha, TBF concludes that:

3.1. The dragon vest life essence burial practice was never publicly transmitted by Guru Buddha, and the name of the practice was never formally adopted. Guru Buddha only transmitted the Life Essence Burial Practice. The so-called “dragon vest life essence burial practice” should be called the “Dragon Vest Enhanced Life Essence Burial Practice”.

3.2. The dragon vest worn by Guru Buddha and the life essence articles must be buried in the dragon nexus. They should not be arbitrarily displayed at a Dharma throne or on wall.

3.3. TBF would like to remind TBS disciples and non-TBS devotees to strictly adhere to Guru Buddha’s teachings. Do not be mislead by others. Be extra cautious. Avoid being victimized by a scam.

...

By issuing this formal notice, TBF instructs TBS cultivation venues and Dharma propagation personnel to refrain from spreading false information, never deceive sentient beings, and strictly adhere to the policies and guidelines contained herein.

Best Regards,
True Buddha Foundation

Penyembuhan Dengan Energi?

Ditulis oleh Lotuschef - 17 September 2022

Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino

Sumber: Energi Healing?

Inset: Tertangkap oleh kamera ponsel - nampak seperti tampilan sebuah konstelasi bintang dan sebagian dari area yang bercahaya membentuk seperti garis batas.

Silakan membaca dari Wikipedia mengenai ‘Energi Medicine’ (Ilmu Pengobatan dengan Energi) ~ bagian ‘Contact Healing’.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_medicine#Contact_healing

[--- Penyembuhan dengan Sentuhan

Di tahun 2001, sebuah uji klinis acak, secara acak membawa 120 pasien dengan penyakit kronis kepada para penyembuh atau “penyembuh yang disimulasikan”, namun tidak dapat menunjukkan kemanjuran baik untuk penyembuhan jarak jauh atau yang saling bertatap muka. Sebuah tinjuan sistematis di tahun 2008 menyimpulkan bahwa bukti efek spesifik dari penyembuhan kebatinan untuk meringankan neuropatik atau sakit syaraf tidaklah meyakinkan. Di dalam buku karangan Simon Singh dan Edzard Ernst, Trick or Treatment (tahun 2008), menyimpulkan bahwa “penyembuhan kebatinan secara biologis tidak masuk akal dan efeknya mengandalkan respon plasebo. Hal terbaik yang ada adalah menawarkan rasa nyaman; dan yang terburuk adalah dapat menciptakan para pembohong yang akan menipu uang para pasien dengan kondisi serius yang seharusnya membutuhkan pengobatan konvensional yang mendesak.” —]

Tulisan ini aku buat karena terpicu oleh sebuah mimpi tadi pagi.

Di dalam mimpiku, aku dibawa ke sebuah teater mewah dan saat hendak meninggalkan lokasi, aku melihat seorang wanita (umur sekitar 30+) yang meletakkan tangan kanannya di atas tangan kiri seorang perempuan muda (umur sekitar 20+) yang duduk di sampingnya. Si wanita duduk di sebelahnya sehingga ia menghadap sisi kiri si perempuan muda.

Aku mengamati kedua wajah mereka, secara aura terlihat Tiada Energi yang tersalurkan.

Kemudian si ‘Penyembuh’ berhenti dan berkata “sudah beres”!

NAMUN, si ‘Penyembuh’ tampak pucat dan sesak nafas, dan si ‘Pasien’ sendiri masih nampak keabu-abuan dan lesu.

Jadi boleh dibilang si ‘Penyembuh ini’ seorang penipu?

ATAU, si ‘Penyembuh’ tidak membaca ‘sejarah penyakit pasien’ dengan detil sebelum melakukan penyembuhan?

ATAU, si ‘Penyembuh’ tidak cukup ‘sakti’ untuk menyembuhkan si ‘Pasien’ ini?

Perlu dicatat bahwa Penyembuhan dengan Energi masuk dalam kategori Pengobatan Alternatif!

Dan, apa yang kudapatkan dari mengamati kedua wanita tersebut?

Sabar dulu dan pelajari gambar-gambar yang dibagikan di atas.

Dengan segala kerendahan hati, menurutku:

Si Penyembuh dan si Pasien harus Menegakkan/Meluruskan tulang belakangnya (tulang punggung) baik dalam posisi duduk ataupun berbaring, sehingga Chakra-chakra-nya tersusun dengan selaras untuk mendukung pengaliran ‘ENERGI’ atau ‘Qi’.

Baik saat sedang bekerja ataupun bermain, seseorang harus mempunyai sirkulasi Qi yang baik sehingga memancarkan aura yang sehat, ini penting saat si orang ini mencoba melakukan transfer Energi atau Qi sewaktu melakukan Penyembuhan!

Mengapa Penyembuhan dengan Energi tidak berhasil?

Ada sudut karma dari si Penyembuh dan Pasien yang perlu dipertimbangkan.

YA! Mereka berdua punya hutang karma yang besar dan juga ‘sedang membayar hutang karma mereka’, jadi si Penyembuh menjadi pucat dan sesak nafas setelah melakukan ‘penyebuhan dengan energi’ dan si Pasien tak mampu menerima energi apapun dari si Penyembuh.

Dan berhubung mereka berdua sedang membayar hutang-hutang karma mereka, hasilnya adalah reaksi ‘Serangan Balik’ yang diterima si Penyembuh dari Para Penagih Hutang si Pasien yang marah karena si Penyembuh mencoba ‘menolong’ musuh karma mereka ~ yaitu si Pasien.

Si Pasien sendiri menjadi lebih parah kondisinya setelah sesi penyembuhan, juga karena para musuh karmanya melepaskan amarah mereka kepadanya.

Untuk menyembuhkan orang ini, Langkah Pertama adalah mengajarkannya untuk ‘Memohon Pengampunan’! kepada para musuh karmanya!

Ada banyak cara untuk melakukannya!

Dan saran yang sama untuk si Penyembuh, bersihkan hutang-hutang karmamu TERLEBIH DULU!

Salam metta.

Energy Healing?

Terjemahan Bahasa: Penyembuhan Dengan Energi?

Captured by mobile phone's camera - there seems to be a star constellation displayed and the lighted portion forms sort of a bundary. 

 

Please go read - Energy Medicine from Wiki ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_medicine#Contact_healing.

This post is sparked by a dream early this morning. 

In this dream, I was brought to a luxurious theater and upon leaving, I saw a woman (about 30+) putting her right hand on the young lady's left hand (about 20+) sitting beside her. The woman seated herself sideways so she was facing the young lady's left side. 

I glanced at both their faces = auras, there was No Energy transferred. 

Then the "healer" stopped and said, "all done"!

BUT, the "healer" seems to be pale & breathless and the "patient" still looks greyish & weak. 

So is this "healer" a fake or con woman?

OR, the "healer" didn't do a thorough "patient's illness history" before healing?

OR, the "healer" is not "powerful" enough to heal this "patient"?

Please note that Energy Healing or Medicine is classified as Alternative Medine!

Now, what did I glean from watching both of these women?

Be patient, please.

Study the pictures shared above. 

In my Humble Opinion:-

The healer & patient have to Keep a straight spine whether sitting or lying down, so that the Charkras are aligned properly to facilitate "ENERGY" or "Qi" flow.

AT work or at play, a person must have good Qi circulation to give a healthy shine, this is important when this person attempts to perform Energy or Qi transfers in Healing!

Why didn't the Energy Healing work?

The Karmic angles of both healer & patient are another deciding factor.

YES! Both of them have great Karmic debts and both are "paying karmic debts", so the Healer becomes pale & breathless after performing "energy healing" & the patient wasn't able to receive any energy from the Healer at all. 

As both of them are paying karmic debts, the result is a "Backlash" effect upon the Healer from the Karmic debtors of the patient, angered by the Healer's attempt to "help" their karmic enemy=the patient.

The Patient becomes worse off after the healing, also because of her karmic enemies vending their anger at her.

To heal this person, First teach her to "Say Sorry!" to her Karmic enemies!

There are many ways to do so!

Same advice for the Healer, clear your own karmic debts FIRST!

With metta.

Vajra Maha Berkah 大福金刚

Acuan tautan: 2016年2月10日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥主持「紅財神」護摩大法會及開講「大圓滿九次第法」-台灣雷藏寺(完整版)

Di sesi tersebut, Mahaguru Lu membahas tentang Nasib Baik & Penuh Keberuntungan! :)

Beliau mengatakan bahwa saat sedang mengunjungi sebuah restoran untuk makan, transaksi bisnis di resto naik hingga tiga kali lipat di hari itu.

Itu terjadi sebelum beliau ditahbiskan menjadi bhiksu.

Namun, keberuntungan tersebut masih berlanjut sampai sekarang ini di manapun Mahaguru Lu berada!

Di tulisan kali ini, aku juga akan membangikan pengalamanku yang hampir sama.

Saat aku masih muda, bibiku akan meminta ibuku untuk mengantarkanku ke tokonya.

Ia bilang bahwa selama aku berdiri di salah satu sudut di dekat tokonya, transaksi bisnisnya di hari itu menjadi sangat bagus.

Hal yang sama terjadi juga di berbagai tempat makan dan bisnis yang aku kunjungi.

Di Melbourne, Australia, ada toko es krim yang bisnisnya menjadi bagus saat aku datang berkunjung.

Seorang ibu dari salah seorang mahasiswa yang tinggal di tempat kos yang sama dengan anakku ikut pergi bersamaku dan berkomentar bahwa si bos es krim memberiku porsi yang lebih besar dengan harga yang sama dengan yang dibayarnya!

Hahaha!

Apakah ini pilih kasih???

Toko lain di dekat apartemenku menjual makanan alla barat.

Suatu malam di saat musim siaran langsung pertandingan sepak bola, si pemilik resto tak mengharapkan bisnis yang banyak karena banyak yang menonton dari rumah.

Namun setelah aku melakukan pesanan, ada kerumunan banyak orang yang tiba-tiba datang mengantri untuk memesan makanan darinya juga!

Ia memperhatikan tren ini selama beberapa saat dan mengatakan bahwa aku membawa bisnis baginya.

Hahaha!

Dan makanan yang ia hidangkan untukku?

Aku disuguhi porsi yang lebih besar!

Teman-temanku sekalian yang terkasih,

Apa jawaban untuk teka-teki ini?

Dari Sutra Avatamsaka!

Persembahan yang tulus selama berkalpa-kalpa untuk Semua Dewata!

Bila kamu mempunyai pengalaman yang hampir sama di sepanjang hidupmu, maka kamu pun telah melatih Persembahan Yang Tulus dalam jangka waktu yang lama di dalam berbagai kehidupanmu di masa lampau!

Artinya bahwa di beberapa waktu di kehidupanmu di masa lampau, kamu telah melakukan sesuatu yang membawa manfaat bagi para insan dan juga dirimu sendiri!

Salam semuanya.
