迷者師度,悟者自度 Guru Succours When Lost, Self-Succouring When Enlightened



Above: My root guru, the Living Buddha Lian Sheng.

Above: Depiction of Lotuschef by Lotus YC.

Do your own translation if you please.

Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom

~~~~~~~~~

Referring to the recorded sermon:

在《密教大圓滿》一書中提到:
在「立斷」的修持方面,先要有一個觀念,智慧也不是外來的,這即是「菩提般若之智,世人本自有之」,人人皆有一個佛性,眾生本來是佛,當然智慧也該由自心出。
佛曾教導阿難「當自熾燃,勿他熾燃」,皈依其實也是「自皈依」。

蓮生活佛開示:「菩提般若之智,世人本自有之」這就是佛性。而智慧是自心產生出來的。佛性是偷不掉,也燒不壞,水火不侵的,人人皆有佛性,自己要把佛性開發出來,這才是真正佛教的道理。
所謂「迷者師度,悟者自度」,在迷惑中由師父度,悟了以後自己度自己。
最重要是自己皈依自己的佛性叫「自皈依」。

Today in Seattle's Rainbow Temple, GM Lu shared these words:
迷者師度,悟者自度 
Guru Succour When Loss, Self Succour When Enlightened

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

In the following article, read how much 蓮吟 revealed to us of his own existence or non existence of Dharma realisation!!!

O! Dear! Who is the lost one here?
Hahaha!

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

疯狂智慧 - 师尊讲的?师尊定下的?
From article- Crazy Wisdom - Shizun said these? Shizun fixed these?

    十八白 聽師尊的話...卻分化師尊定下的制度?
    蓮廚大德.. 我想請問一下....
    Bhadanta lotuschef ..... I will like to ask about ....

    您一直不斷的發表宗委會假冒师尊的意旨.就連有關於撤銷您法師資格的公告您也說是宗委會假冒师尊的意旨...您也說師尊不知道..
    Uou continue to publish that Core falsified SZ's instructions. To the extend of the announcement voiding your reverend status. You also said SZ don't know.....

    您如果真的覺得師尊並沒有認同宗委會發出的公告的話.(撤銷您法師資格)這麼嚴重的事.如果你不相信宗委會您是不是該親自去跟師尊求證..
    If you do not agree with Core's announcement, such important matter, if you do not believe Core, shouldn't you go and seek affirmation from SZ...

    釋蓮吟 
    您是一位出家比丘尼..如果您還不知道自己到底犯了甚麼錯.犯了甚麼戒.嚴重到要撤銷您法師資格.您是不是該親自去問師尊..
    As a bhikkuni... if you still don't know what you have done wrong, breach what discipline, serious enough to void your reverend status, should you not have seek out SZ to ask..

    而不是不斷的不斷的在網路上毀謗宗委會假冒师尊的意旨. 
    And not continue to slander Core online as falsifying SZ's instruction.
     
    發表對宗委會不利的言論.
    Publish material detrimental to Core.

    這樣的文章很容易就讓其他同門對宗委會產生邪見.
    These articles very easily cause other fellow student to have evil view of Core.

    破壞僧團和諧.(還是..您的目的就是為此)
    Broken or damage the Sanghas' assembly harmony. (or you target is this)

    對於密教行者來說..這樣的罪業不是要下金剛地獄的嗎?
    For cultivators of Tantrayana... these type of sins shouldn't it result in going down to Vajra Hell?

    釋蓮吟 
    師尊很重視他的每一位弟子.對於出家的比丘.比丘尼有更深的期望.
    犯了錯..如果真心的向根本上師求懺悔.求原諒.承諾永不再犯.
    師尊不捨一個眾生一定會再給機會...
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Lotuschef comment: 
    我们都一直在[猜测]师尊讲的或顶下的,吗?
    We are continuously [Guessing] at what SZ said or set down?

    密教是以根本上师为主!
    Tantrayana is based on Root Guru as Priority or Master!

    但! 密教也是佛教的一部分,不是吗?
    BUT! Tantrayana is also part of Buddhism, correct?

    那么这句: [迷时师度, 悟时自度], 可管用?
    This statement: [Guru Succour When Loss, Self Succour When Enlightened], can be use?

    真正的密教行者还需要[親自去跟師尊求證] , 这一个[动作]吗?
    A true tantric yogi still need to [physically & personally go and seek confirmation from SZ], this type of [action}?

    那[上师相应]是什么?
    Then, what is [Guru Yoga]?

    师尊那天讲:无常。 
    有听进了没有?会用吗?
    That day, SZ said: impermanence.
    Did you hear it? Know how to use?

    所以,佛法的[定下的制度]是什么呢?
    Thus, what is Buddha Dharma's [fixed or set out regulation]?

    读过[华严经]吗?
    Read [ Avatamsaka sutra]?

    佛有无量智慧,用以救度每一个不同智慧,见解,等等的无量众生!
    Buddha has infinite wisdom, use to succour each one with different level of wisdom, viewpoints, .... of infinite beings!

    应该是:随缘度众,随缘任运利乐众生!
    Should be: Succour beings as per affinity, and execute at will as per affinity to benefit all beings!

    同门 Fellow student 蓮吟, 

    请问:你的意见是出于要讨好宗委的吗?
    如果不是,那就是说你[有勇无谋]!浅见!
      Question: Your opinion arose from currying favor with Core?
      If not, that is to say, you are [have courage but no strategy]! Shallow View!

    请问:你每次都必须[親自去跟師尊] [讲] 的吗?
      Question: Do you need to always [physically & personally go talk to SZ]?

    请问:既然称呼[蓮廚大德], 那么就不是[僧團] 的一份子了,对吗?
      Question: Since you greet me as [bhadanta lotuschef], that is not a part of [Sangha Assembly], correct?

    请问:[這樣的文章很容易就讓其他同門對宗委會產生邪見.] - 
    你认为同门都还没有修到[一心不乱] 吗?
      Question: [These articles very easily cause other fellow student to have evil view of Core.] - you agree that all students have not cultivate to [A Heart unaffected by chaos]?

    所以,[很容易] 被影响,是这个意识吗?
    Therefore, [very easy] to be affected, is this meaning?

    这正意为着你本人的修为,不是吗?
    This exactly means your own cultivation level, agree?

    请问:[破壞僧團和諧.] 跟上面的意识不都一样的观点吗?
      Question: [Broken or damage the Sanghas' assembly harmony.] - Thus similar to the meaning and viewpoint of the above too?

    请问: 你的见解是:僧团里也没有修到 [一心不乱]的出家人吗?
      Question: As per your view or understanding: There isn't any one within the Sangha assembly that had cultivated to attain [A Heart unaffected by chaos]?

    请问: 这不是师尊讲的大染缸吗?
    僧团里的所有出家人都修成你心目中的[一味]?
      Question: Isn't this what SZ said as the Big Dyeing urn?
      All personnel in Sangha Assembly cultivated to your viewpoint of [One Flavour]?

    不是[一味瑜伽] 而是[身口意]都是染缸的[一味]!
    Not the [One Flavour Yoga] but [Body Speech Mind] as [One Flavour] of the big dyeing urn!

    哈哈哈!
    Hahaha!

    我们今天就玩到这里,[下金剛地獄] 留日后才玩吧!:)
    Lets play till here for today, [descend to vajra hell], lets leave it for the future to play with! :)

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

Dear all, 
with all that you have heard from GM Lu on Maha Perfection Dharma thus far, have you found out what I am trying to tell this reverend and Core, all these while?

How does One communicate with a Root Guru, who is physically thousands of miles away in another country?

GM Lu has been telling us all about the Infinite Dharma ways, Infinite universe, and the most important one is No Hindrance Dharma.

One can easily transverse the whole universe when One can yoga at will, at ease, and understand No Hindrance Dharma.

In today's speech: Mindset: It's the Thought that Counts!
Extract:
[--- Now GM Lu recounted the story of Subhuti's thought of welcoming his guru, Sakyamuni Buddha, however his physical self is in a cave far far away.

Another that physically welcomed Sakyamuni Buddha, said he is the first one to do so.
BUT, Buddha told him that he is not the first.

GM Lu shared all these to illustrate "No hindrance" theory.

One's thought can transverse throughout the Universe and all Dharmadhatu!
Remember that I wrote about "Astral, knows no barriers"?
Hahaha! ---]

So, I do know what I am sharing and doing all these times, agree?

Does being considered as a Fashi or not, affect a true yogi?

Do I have to let on whenever I "meet up with" or "chat with" my own root guru?

Remember that GM Lu said: The invisibles are more worthy!

Do you always need to crowd your root guru physically?

Have you not noticed that lots of articles written in this blog have contents that coincide with what GM Lu shares minutes, hours or days later? :)

Happy cultivating, but please wake up first!


Cheers all.

尋覓「明心見性」的師父 Seek [Enlightened] Teacher


English Translation by Lotuschef.
Note: I will try my best to translate comprehensively. :)
Alternatively, you can get the same translated on your own too. Cheers!



天竺五祖「提多迦」尊者,出生時,父夢「金日自屋出,照耀天地,前有大山,諸寶莊嚴,山頂泉湧,滂沱四流。」
Father of 5th Zen Patriatch [Ti-duo-jia] had an auspicious dream when he was born.
In the Dream: Golden Sun came out from their house; brightly shining on Heaven & Earth; in front - a big mountain; all treasures adorn; mountain spring gashing; torrentially flowing in 4 directions (4 directions means wide-spreadly).

後來有偈,讚曰:
「巍巍七寶山。
常出智慧泉。
同為真法味。
能度諸有緣。」

五祖「提多迦」尊者,付法給六祖「彌遮迦」尊者,這兩人關係更是微妙。

原來五祖與六祖,在六劫前,同生梵天。五祖提多迦,禮四優波多為師,因而得「明心見性」。

而彌遮迦禮阿私陀仙人為師,雖然得了仙法,未究竟。

後來阿私陀仙人預言:「汝彌遮迦,未來當逢明心見性的同學,禮其為師,才能獲無漏果,證得解脫。

於是,彌遮迦禮提多迦為師。

獲得提多迦的付法。

這是六祖彌遮迦的因緣。

[The above details the Affinity of 5th & 6th Patriarchs who in 6 previous kalpas were both born in {梵天(Brahmā),又称大梵天王、大梵天(Mahābrahmā)}.
Each of them seek out their own teachers and both become enlightened.


我讀到這裡,有一些感想:
I read till here, have some perceived thoughts:

今日世人,拜師學法,見有「名師」即拜,名師只是名氣大,並未「明心見性」。
People of the world today, formally honor a teacher to learn Dharma, seeing [Well Known teacher] they honor, Well known teacher in this aspect means famous, have yet to be [Fully enlightened].

名師並未「明心見性」,其弟子豈能「明心見性」?
How can disciples be Enlightened with a yet to be Enlightened teacher ?

無非是「以迷引迷」而已。
In fact this is [the lost leading the lost] only.

更可嘆息的是,此等名師,比比皆是。所以眾生學佛,很多人,全入了「大悶鍋」。
愈學愈像魑魅魍魎,各各成鬼怪。
Even more sad is this type of famous teachers, abound.
Therefore, sentient beings learning Buddha Dharma, many of them also entered [Big Stew pot].
The more they learn, the more they become evil spirits, demons, monsters, devils.

<成语辨析:魑魅魍魉和“牛鬼蛇神”,都比喻形形色色的坏人。
但魑魅魍魉仅用于书面语,比喻的坏人很少有所指;“牛鬼蛇神”常用于口语,比喻的坏人是有所指的。
英语:evil spirits;demons and monsters;demons and devils, ghosts and monsters;all sorts of evil spirits>


令我看了,直搖其頭。
Make me shake my head when I see these.

真是笨蛋加三級。糊裏糊塗,很難清醒。
Truly "stupid egg" 3rd grade. No idea of whats happening or no reasoning, hard to awaken.


所以,在這世間,如果有一位「明心見性」的師父出現,那簡直就是「慧星」,可遇而不可而求了。
Therefore, in this worldly realm, if an Enlightened teacher appears, that is [Intelligent Star], can meet but can't seek.

然而「明心見性」的師父,哪裏去找?真是緣份而已,一切皆是因緣。
However, where to seek an Enlightened Teacher?
This is truly affinity, everything is Cause & Affinity.

弟子找師父。

師父同樣也找弟子。

弟子要尋覓「明心見性」的師父。師父要尋覓大法器的弟子。

這真是尋尋覓覓,覓覓尋尋,誰又是明白第一義諦的?

五祖提多迦付法六祖彌遮迦,法偈是:
5th Patriarch transmit to 6th Patriarch this Dharma verse:

「通達本法心。Getting through to Original Dharma's Heart.
無法無非法。There is No Dharma and also No "Not Dharma".
悟了同未悟。Enlightened similar to Not yet Enlightened.
無心亦無法。」No Heart then No Dharma.


什麼是「悟了同未悟」?請大家試參看看!
What is [Enlightened similar to Not yet Enlightened]?
I invite all to deduce these!

我實實在在告訴大家:I honestly tell you all:
我明心見性之前,行、住、坐、臥、吃飯、睡覺、寫作、修法、小便、大便………..。
我明心見性之後,行、住、坐、臥、吃飯、睡覺、寫作、修法、小便、大便………..。
(一樣)
(沒有改變)
Before Enlightenment: move, stay, sit, lie down, eat rice, sleep, write, urinate, pass motion,....
After Enlightenment: move, stay, sit, lie down, eat rice, sleep, write, urinate, pass motion,....
Same! No change!


認真的說來,只有一點點不同,我只是把這「佛性真如」,輕輕的附上,附上在行、住、坐、臥、吃飯、睡覺、寫作、修法、小便、大便………..。
Seriously speaking, only a little difference, I [lightly affixed] this <True inherent Buddha nature] to : move, stay, sit, lie down, eat rice, sleep, write, urinate, pass motion,....


什麼是「輕輕的附上」?這也只是形容詞,讓大家有個意會而已。
What is [Lightly affixed]? This is an adjective, to let all have an idea only.


我當然通達本法心,因為通達,所以無一法無非法,悟了也等同未悟,我無心也無法。
Of course I can get through to Original Dharma's Heart, because of getting through, that is why Without One Dharma, without "not dharma", realised similar to not yet realised, I have No Heart and No Dharma.

你們且參一參我的佛法。
You all go figure out My Buddha Dharma.

我早餐吃:My breakfast:
一杯牛乳。One cup of milk
二片土司。2 slices of toast
一條「氣司」。1 strip of cheese
一只蕃茄。1 piece tomato.

多年來,一直都沒有變。
Through all these years, remain unchanged.

---



Hehe! My breakfast is almost the same as GM's!

[六劫者: 1.天劫 2.地劫  3.人劫 4.命劫 5.苦劫 6.情劫. 六劫渡毕,大彻大悟]
The practitioner in 6 Suffering or hurdles:
1. Heavenly 2. Earthly 3. Human 4. Life 5. Hardship 6. Affection

Will arrive at Full realisation or Enlightenment after passing through this 6 Sufferings or Hurdles.

劫 - this word can mean kalpa - denoting Time or Hindrance/hurdles/suffering.

---

Dear all,
Now can you answer Assignment [3] part 1 with ease?


[--- Assignment 3

(1) 在修行中的什么阶段 [时间]是 [精华/要]?
(2) 又在什么阶段 [时间]不是 [精华/要]?

(1) At what stage in cultivation [Time] is [Essence/Essential] ?
(2) And at what stage in cultivation [Time] is not [Essence/Essential]?  ---]

In Cultivation: Time is the essence or essential when you have limited lifespan & when you have an Enlightened Teacher willing to share all his knowledge & methods with you, Agree?

Hahaha!

In this context. you really very short of precious Time!

O! What about the answer to Part 2? 
:) Well? 
It will be revealed to individuals with relevant Affinity and only those with diligence in cultivation!

WHY the "Discrimination"?
There is no point in explaining to anyone that is not diligent in cultivation and lacking the relevant affinity to Buddha.
That is to say: Tell you, you also won't understand, what more use for benefit of ALL!


Cheers all.
