Star Garden: A knot of massive young stars called the Trapezium Cluster shines brightly in this infrared image of the large molecular hydrogen cloud surrounding the Great Nebula in Orion, roughly 1,350 light years from Earth.

LC: I found directions from Guru liao! :)
I got the hang of the sutra so far!
hehe! Feels great really!
hahaha! I wonder how I come up with VITALITY RECHARGE!

GETTING POETIC TOO!
lets have your comments! :)
Am I going Nuts?
Crazy?
Hehe!
Wow!
part 1.2 is even more fantastic. We were showered by star-lights of all colors and sizes and shapes as we stroll along!

Scary sutra???
Hahaha!

---

AA: This sutra is scary lor.

The buddha body extends throughout all the great assemblies: It fills the cosmos, without end. Quiescent, without essence, it cannot be grasped; It appears just to save all beings.

If any beings can accept the teaching, The Buddha, with spiritual powers, will guide them, Causing them to always see the Buddha before them: Ocean of Adornments sees in this way.


I found wonders in the means of liberation of the celestial kings.

Crazy la #2 hinders Guru to share this sutra.
This is beyond ordinary perception.

---

LC: U know something, HN is going to suffer much for termination of the lotuschef.org n causing disruption.
The readership daily was about an average of 100+. Takes time for the new blog to get back the readership. He didn't hinders Pure Karma from sharing but sentient beings from accessing our sharings.
He has hindered the sharing of Buddha Dharma!
Well, seems his expectation of a prosperous year this year is doom.

Let us also see what will happen to #2 for hindering the sharing of such great dharma.

Reading it through, I got carried away into the sutra, seeing what they were describing...
feels great and just can't properly define in words!


Really beyond our perception & imagination too!
all I can do is say Wow wow wow wow wow wow.....

---

AA: Yes, this is to say that clues and materials of enlightenment are just about anywhere and everything.
As long as we can explain the reasoning behind, those who understand will understand.
Truly such a self-secret.


---

LC: actually, u can get enlightened on anything when u realized each phenomenon's secret!
see how each get enlightened?
How Buddha was said to have devised many ways too to help all sentient beings
The essence is that everything is done for everybody's benefit! 
such a wondrous sutra!

imagine walking along a golden path surrounded by colorful starlight n the air you breathe is miraculous too

hahaha! Its like opium that brings addiction that you want to stay within the sutra's boundaries and don't want to return!

crazy feeling lol.

Dear all, journey with me into the Avatamsaka Sutra, and loose yourself amongst all the Enlightened Ones and all their "subjects"! :)

You won't feel a moment of boredom as many have preconceived ideas that long sutra are draggy and boring. 

Let your imagination run wild!!!

Game to come onboard?

Cheers All.

Terjemahan Indonesia: Sutra Avatamsaka: Buku 1, Bagian 1.1 – Ulasan

[From the chat, sent at 7:10 PM on Friday]

me: not yet too! I had lunch at about 3pm. HEHE!
read my review of avatamsaka part 1?
I think this is best to do so in parts n share feedback n comments

aa: Haha, always hv fun time. not yet read them
The Sutra is very long

me: yup. so we do it slowly lol. Guru will guide us along

aa: Just quick scan through it. haha, when Fashi comprehends it first,#2 will be very jealous

me: who cares? hehe!
its actually like walking thru a garden filled with an assortments of flowers n plants that one has not seen or notice before. The feeling is great in strolling along.

aa: Love the recent one, ask #2 to build his own kingdom

me: hehe!

aa: Yup, we just follow what SZ means to us hehe

me: I am being truly naughty liao. He tried to stop Guru from sharing Goodies with us, so I also play with him lol.
I am getting a very good feel from the sutra so far. Hehe!

aa: Yogic union with the Sutra

---

Dear all, I started reading from part 1 that I shared yesterday and continuing onto Part 1.1 that I just shared, the feeling is truly great. 

{ Now visualize you are walking in Steps with Guru & All Sentient Beings in this lustrous garden filled with all kinds of flora and fauna. 
A loving sun embraces you with warmth and a coziness beyond imagination! 
The Fragrances floating to you on a light breeze, bringing with it an effervescence or a vitality recharge, beyond description! :)
The golden-yellow hue breathes of abundance and fruitfulness like John Keats' [Ode to Autumn].
Everything sparkles and shines in rainbow hue. }


Hahaha! The interference of sentient sounds of a motor-bike speeding loudly by, broke the tranquility of my "trance" and brought me out of such a wondrous journey.

Cheers all. 

Do join me again. :)

Dear all,
I hereby invite all readers to participate in a Forum to share your views after reading the above.
If we Jointly & Actively participate in a discussion of this wondrous sutra, I am confident we will all progress along the Bohdi Path joyously and smoothly, under Guru's tutelage, agree? :)

Avatamsaka Sutra Book 1 Part 1

I will share roughly what I picked up here.
Please add yours in comments or email to purekarmaservices@gmail.com

  1. Sakyamuni's enlightenment.
  2. The enormity of all beings in all realms and Purelands.
  3. The well-divisioned or allocation of "purposes" of each group of beings under respective leaders.
  4. Note that these "purposes" all geared towards helping those that need a hand in any direction too.

Before reading this sutra, I know of countless or innumerable existences in the Universe.
However, just reading only first part of Book One, I really understand how micro we all are.

To all those who are still stuck on fighting for sentient material or possession of them, I humbly advice that you sit back and sort out where you are heading and what you really need to reach those goals.

To those awaken souls, read just this part repeatedly and see where you need help and look for the relevant direction to head. :)

To those who wants to honor their Samaya vows, Bodhicitta Vows, ..... Take Charge of your own path and stop following anyone other than your own Root Guru. Let him guide you along the Bodhi Path, let him equipped you with all necessities to ascend the Final stretch of the Bodhi Path to reach the peak or Buddhahood.

Cheers all.

Your participation and feedback welcome. :)
