六道金刚咒轮 6-realms Vajra Mandala - 治疗 Healing?

Terjemahan Bahasa: Mandala Vajra 6 Alam 六道金刚咒轮 – Penyembuhan 治疗 ?

Quoting from 六道金刚咒:

六道金刚咒普度众生，有无量无边功德。

6-realms vajra mantra liberates all beings, has infinite merits.

凡耳闻此咒声，或目睹此咒字，或身手触著此咒，均消灭三世业障，将来均得成佛。

Those that hear this mantra's sound from chanting or sight this mantra, or body or limbs come into contact with this mantra, all will be able to eliminate sins/karma of 3 lifetimes, can attain Buddhahood in the future.

又此咒对于超度死亡众生，功德尤大。

This mantra has great merits towards liberation of deceased beings.

死亡众生虽已堕恶道，亦可出离，往生净土。

Those deceased beings that descended into lower realms, can also leave this realm to rebirth in Pureland.

生前如多念此咒，则死后焚身，即得舍利。

Chanting more of this mantra during one's lifetime, upon death and being cremated will yield Sariras.

利益众生无上殊胜的六道金刚咒功德及因缘 [六道金刚咒」可译为

「带成佛咒」- (bring to Buddhahood mantra)，即佩带身上，亦可成佛。

此咒因缘是阿达尔妈佛传于毗卢遮那佛。

[This mantra originates from Adharma Buddha's transmission to Vairocana Buddha]

在毗卢遮那佛时，有某修道人，心甚慈悲。

彼时有一大河与某湖相连，因天旱水涸，致河水与湖水，亦因之干断。

湖内之鱼，天天被干死者甚多。

某人乃天天将湖内之鱼捞起来，一担一担送到河里去。

但天旱甚剧，将此一担鱼送到河去；待回到湖时，又见有许多鱼都干死了。某人叹气说：「得救的众生少，不得救的众生多，众生真难度！」

彼时毗卢遮那佛化身对他说：Vairocana Buddha's transformation said to him: 

众生度众生，当然得度的众生甚少；如以佛法度众生，则众生自能普度。

Sentient beings liberate Sentient beings of course those liberated is very few;

if adhere to Buddha dharma to liberate sentient beings, then sentient beings can self liberate.

某人闻此言，即求毗卢遮那佛传授普度众生之法。

Those that heard this statement, similar to begging Vairocana to transmit dharma of liberation of sentient beings.

毗卢遮那佛乃授以此咒。

Vairocana Buddha will transmit this mantra.

某念咒七遍后，所有已死之鱼均往生西方净土；未死之鱼，均消灭无量业障，随后均得往生成佛。

Those that chant this mantra Seven times, all dead fishes will get rebirth in Western Paradise; those fishes that are still alive, will have their infinite karma eliminated and can attain Buddhahood upon their death.

此「六道金刚心咒」具有不可思议功德之大概情形。

This is roughly the unimaginable merits of [6-realms vajra mantra] .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all, 

Remember how many years ago I received a stack of this 6-realms vajra mandala and subsequently researched it and shared widely with all?

I also taught a visualisation method when chanting White Padmakumara's long mantra that has the 6-realm vajra mantra incorporated within, recall?

Now, I use them for someone with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and the tumour dried up and shrunk and cancer markers dropped from 540 to 17 in about 3 months. 

Sadly, he didn't keep the promise to do charity.

His life was prolonged for only 3 years out of the 10 years he requested.

Now, I chanted  [White Padmakumara's long mantra] 108 times to "initial" a stack of the paper printed with [6-realms vajra mandala] on Saturday and gave them out to some attendees of the Medan event.

On Sunday, after cultivation session in celebration of GM Lu's birthday, I taught someone how to USE this mandala to heal himself! 

That is chanting with visualisation and placing the printed square of mandala where the illness or problem is.

I also aided a little by sending "Qi" via a Vajra-finger mudra through this person's palm that is holding down the printed mandala.

Hehe! He started to feel warmth spreading from the mandala and this continued for quite sometime until it became scorching and he has to remove the printed mandala. 

The warmth lasted for more than an hour after removing the printed mandala.

This person has Fatty Liver. 

Will monitor the progress and if this person is truly diligent and sincere in Healing himself, he should have no problem.

With metta,

Om。ah。hum。 gu-ru-bei。ah-ha-sa-sa-ma-ha。 lian-sheng。sid-dhi。hum

死而无憾 To Die Without Regrets?

Quotation 1:

The Great Protection of Vajrayana

by Living Buddha Sheng-yen Lu

21-7-2011 TERMINAL ILLNESS

I wish to thank grandmaster for his empowerment, may everything be perfect! Thank you once again!

This letter proved that:

1. Empowerment can reduce the size of a malignant tumor.
2. Medicine was given by the grandmaster in the dream.
3. Although it was a dream, vivid details can be recalled.
4. Everything was perfect and auspicious as indicated.

I take special care for disciples who are suffering from sickness. During consultation, preference is given to those who are suffering from illness. Why? Because I believe the most unbearable thing in life is the suffering from sickness.

Those who are sick, if they always think of me, the grandmaster whom they took refuge in, if they always recite my name, or chant my heart mantra “Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hum”. I shall appear in front of them, giving them medicine, empowering them, so that they will be safe and sound. They will be healthy and free from sickness.

I am a Tantric cultivator who was told by Sakyamuni Buddha to come to this samsara world to carry out salvation mission.

It was mentioned in four-division Vinaya: Buddha said: “From now on, you must take good care of the sick. If you wish to make an offering to me, it is better to offer it to the sick”.

Brahmajala Sutra had the following to say: “As a Buddhist, we must treat sick people as if they are Buddhas. Taking care of the sick qualifies as the first merit in the eight types of merit cultivation. A Buddhist must take good care and attend to those who are sick including their parents, teachers, monks, disciples and other handicapped people who are suffering from all kinds of problem’.

Quotation 2:

SPIRITUAL HEALING BY LIVING BUDDHA LIAN-SHENG

Translated by Jason Yam (Page 72 – 73)

21-7-2011 SPIRITUAL HEALING

You are known as Living Buddha, how do you heal your patients without medication?
Curing a sickness is an expedient way as far as Buddhism is concerned.
It is not the most important aspect of the teachings.
To cure the sick is to develop his confidence after his recovery, so he will take up the faith in Buddhism.
Such healing method is formless.
It is a totally spiritual way of healing.

The healing can be seen in three respects:
the confidence of the patient, my role as the solicitor who, with utmost sincerity, invites the universal energy to descent and radiate, in order to heal the patient.

In this universe, there are many ‘energies’.
When these energies are being applied on the patients, their sickness will be cured.
To say such thing in the twentieth century sounds unbelievable.
But this is a truth, the miracle occurs in a blink.
It is effective without long term and frequent consultations, and the patients are not restricted to only my own disciples.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha! 

What has the above to do with "To Die without Regret"?

If you have been listening attentively to GM Lu all these years;
understanding & remembering what he shared;
using what you comprehended to cultivate and benefit all beings;

Then have you picked up Facts about Dying?
Like Facts about the Bardo Body and the stages it goes through.

Now!
Do you remember an event in Caotun Temple that GM Lu said some spirits refused to board the Dharma Boat to go to Pureland?

AH! This is the Point that I wish to share now!

In sight of Pureland, but refused to board?

These group are not those with heavy karmic negatives that prevent them from leaving with GM Lu's help!

They are those that have "Unfinished Business" that kept them back from leaving for transmigration or delivery to Pureland!

Sometime in December 2008, I talked to this fellow student about him forcing his ancestors to take refuge.
WHY?
He has taken refuge with GM Lu for more than 10 years, so why force his ancestors to take refuge now?
He heard that by doing so, his path will be smoother by showing filial piety!
O! He is the one with about 5 different spirits within.

AND, at least one out of the 5 spirits was killed by him!

His problem is not caused by his ancestors but his own sins from this and past lifetimes!

What he needs most is to help his karmic negatives of this and past lifetimes take refuge and cultivate diligently to apologise and make good his wrongdoings!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another one that I talked to was a relative who refuse to let go of his late grandmother and continue to draw her "attention" daily, by talking to her or "praying" to her.
He is grandmother's favorite!
His late grandmother's spirit as well as his late mother's, all still hovering around him, reluctant to leave him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GM Lu also shared that there are some still very very attached to their worldly possessions like wives, houses, money, fame, status, .... etc.

These are also major factors that hold back deliverance to Pureland or Transmigration as per Karmic Influences!

So, how to die without regrets?

Let Go!

With Metta,

Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom

Lotuschef in Very Curious About 49 Days of Bardo Existence

Terjemahan Indonesia: Sangat Penasaran Akan Keberadaan Tubuh Bardo Selama 49 Hari

Dear all,
Look at the photos with smoke figures, these are some Bardo forms or spirits or ghosts.

When One dies, the bardo form normally "hangs around" for about 49 days before they are "sentenced" as per their Karmic levels.

They can be send to various halls of Hell as per these Karmic levels of theirs.

However, those that have Good affinity with Buddha or had accumulated good merits, will go to Heavenly realm till their merits are spent. They then rejoin the reincarnation cycle of the 6 Realms.

We have some that opted for Sea-burial, thinking they can freely go without leaving a trace behind.
To their horror, they found out from the "ghostly-grapevine" that things are not what they think at all!

Yes!
For one, they have to answer for karma negative deeds, one by one.
Therefore, they will be "travelling from "Jobs to Jobs" in the various section of the underworld.

Remember my sharing the story behind the Usnisa Vijaya Dharani?
The Deva enjoyed himself too much and he was told by a voice that he will died in the next few days, and from then on, he will experienced a merry-go-round of reincarnations that is not really merry at all.

When he finally "gets back" a Human form, his external features are ugly and his body malformed.

So the Sea-burial bardo spirit came urgently to seek help, knowing things are just not rosy for him after the 49 days of Bardo existence!

O! When I do mudra formations, I will also help to deliver those with affinity into Shizun's hands.
Also help to free trapped or imprisoned fetus spirits and send them to Shizun as well.

Now, those like the recent cases, they were compassionately embraced by Shizun, and a family member asked, will the spirit comes back on the 7th day?

Hahaha! Also the 7 x 7 - 49days services and the 100th day services....

Dear all, if you don't trust Shizun, then please continue to do whatever sentient minds think that you should do!

Few years back, I attended a wake and the practitioners even do the 49th day services on the 4th day!

So Must Do or for the convenience of the practitioners that charge you sky-high prices for their services?

O! Most of them will put fear into you and say: if you don't do this and that, then there will be big trouble ........

When SZ fetch the bardo spirit, means go to Pureland.
What more are you worried about?
What more do you need to worry about?

Lotuschef in Conversation – Tainted Food

Terjemahan Bahasa: Lotuschef Bercakap-cakap – Makanan Tercemar

Rouleau des Etres Affamés, Collection of Kyoto National Museum

I wrote about the Truth of Tainted Food.

Y, a friend of mine, that can communicate with spirits, told me last March when we were dining that she often get put off the food in front of her because she can see spirits eating them and leaving saliva and sometimes even mucus on the food.

M, the little girl that has her sibling’s spirit in her, can’t see these. However, she told me that she gets put off her the food that she ordered with much appetite and when these food is served, she somehow didn’t want to eat anymore.

She can somehow sense that the food is tainted with secretions from spirits?

Well, back to our great Monk!

He told me I am not to eat with fellow students as what they touched become Tainted Food!

Well, students complaint that he wants to eat first and halted them when they reach for the food when they are served. He said he has to eat first or be serve first!

Being so high & mighty, he forgot that Guru teaches “Om Ah Hom”, can cleanse anything!

Maybe he has no confidence of drawing light with “Om Ah Hom” to cleanse the food?

Guru also taught us Manjusri’s Deliverance Mantra to cleanse the food and also offer to all Divinities and share with all beings of the 6 realms through transformation into anything their hearts desire.

My point is whatever we learn, we have to also use them, agree? :)

Question:

Is Monk that clean & pure that he consider all others to be lowly and will taint his food upon contact?

Why then did he accept others invitation to a free meal?

Apply your knowledge of Buddha Dharma now.

Does he know what a Buddha truly sees in all sentient beings?

Does he really know some fundamentals of Buddha Dharma and practise them?

AH! O! 😊

In Tantrayana’s cultivation, Bodhicitta is the Final Key to Buddhahood.

Bodhicitta is to put others in Priority and self way behind!

Now understand why I said Monk has no Bodhicitta?

I am analysing to share how to use the 8 Fold paths.

Well, Monk is a good example to explain a point only.

This is without prejudice!

内供养/ 外供养 Internal & External Offering

Terjemahan Bahasa: Persembahan Dalam & Luar 内供养/ 外供养

We were at the HSR in Taichung.
We bought a few lunch boxes of meat and rice.

After deliverance and cleansing, we did the Great mandala offering and began to eat.

E shared his with his wife, V.

I told V to chant [Om Ah Hom] to cleanse before offering / eating.
[The Buddha/Divinities within also need to eat 'purified' food.]

J and S immediately asked me why V needs to do offering again with the same box of food which is already offered by E.

Dear readers, have you been reading my blog articles?

What did GM said about offerings? I posted this recently.

In offering,  then partaking of the food, one is actually offering to the Buddha and Divinities WITHIN.

When we do Fire Puja, we are offering EXTERNALLY to all Divinities and those listed in the script as offerers receive blessings or merits. Of course participants/attendees are also on the receiving end of these Offering sessions.

V is the only one that came out with [内供养/ 外供养 Internal and External Offering].

She also obediently do the cleansing then offering.

Haha!

GM said everything we do is CULTIVATION!
Read more of GM's articles for they contain great wisdom of an Enlighten One.

Offering Wine and Meat to the Buddha 酒肉供佛

Terjemahan Bahasa: Mempersembahkan Arak dan Daging Kepada Buddha 酒肉供佛

The Aura of Wisdom 

By Living Buddha Sheng-yen Lu
Translated by True Buddha Foundation Translation Team

This was translated from Grandmaster Lu's 154th book, 智慧的光環.

CHAPTER 32 - Offering Wine and Meat to the Buddha

When the head of the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, His Holiness Ganden Tripa, visited the Lei Zang Temple in Seattle, he gave me a Dharma robe as a gift.

During his visit, it coincided with the birthday of a Vajra Buddha whom His Holiness worshiped.
His Holiness then requested that the monks in the Lei Zang Temple help him purchase a bottle of wine and some beef and lamb meat from the supermarket.
He wanted to cultivate and make an offering to the Vajra Buddha.

Later, a monk asked me in private, `Can we offer wine and meat to the Buddhas?`

I explained to the monk that in the view of the Sutric tradition, drinking wine and taking meat would have breached the precepts. But not according to the Tantric teachings.

The view of Tantric Buddhism is that all Buddhas are beings abiding in the mind of non-discrimination. 

Therefore, in the eyes of the Buddhas, wine and meat are not seen as wine and meat. 

For example, in the eyes of men, wine is wine. 
In the eyes of the Asuras, wine is a sword and a knife. 
To the hungry ghosts, wine becomes a burning flame. 
The hell beings see wine manifested as a pool of blood. 
Yet, to the Buddhas, wine is a fine nectar.

Let me say this:
If the practitioner is pure, the wine and meat consumed become pure.
Hence the very act of consuming wine and meat is pure.
On the contrary, if the practitioner is impure, the wine and meat consumed become impure.
Hence, the very act of consuming wine and meat is impure.
Please think through this carefully and discern the truth!

A practitioner with actual attainment will transform the wine into nectar, and the meat into cleansed food. 
As he delivers the souls of the slaughtered animals, there is no danger of misbehaviour in consuming wine and meat.

A practitioner who has no spiritual stamina will drink wine until he is drunk, and consume meat out of gluttony. He has breached a major precept in Tantric Buddhism, and has created a heavy karma for himself, which would draw him to the Vajra Hell upon his death.

On the surface, both scenarios may appear similar, but they are separated by the polarities of purity and impurity!

I feel that it is equal and undifferentiated to offer either vegetarian meals or meat to the Buddhas.
But should you want to consume wine and meat, you must know where your spiritual stamina stands.
If one is corrupted by the consumption of meat and wine, then it is absolutely necessary to strictly follow the precept and refrain from consuming wine and meat!
