Look carefully at me and the statue.
Both looks alike? :)

Quoting from 2014年農曆新春「蓮生活佛話金馬」与了凡四训 [Chinese/English]:
[--- 哈哈哈！日行一善！ To Perform A charitable deed a day!
This message I gave to the brothers that I met on the 1st Feb 2014. ---]

In order to alter One's fate as predicted, like in the story of Korean drama [命运 Fate – 大長今 Dae Jang Geum],

One can use the teachings of Liao-Fan to do so!

Liao-Fan's Four Lessons is a book written by Yuan Liaofan, who was born during the Ming Dynasty, in about 1550, in Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province. Yuan wrote the book to teach his son, Yuan Tian-Chi.

恆河大手印傳承祈請文 Mahamudra Invocation Verse

[--- PKV: Hahaha.

Yes. The heaviness is obvious.

Kimchi 的污染! [Contamination, Kimchi Style]

Fame = Ego n Pride.

After SZ's announcement, his poison takes over.

As more people admire him, he failed to stand firm!

Like shangshi position or promotion often become Grave for cultivators! :) ---]


Dear all, listen carefully to SZ's speech again and his comments on this Invocation Verse.

Now look carefully at this student's face when he is chanting too.

His aura has obviously change quite a lot too!

Aging or something else? :)

Still remember to be joyful to let your sincerity show!

Works for when you are Invoking Divinities or Doing Offering to Divinities and all!

Met this student in Houston, Texas, Mi Yi temple over dinner.

A fashi to his left said that SZ said he is reincarnation of Marpa or Milarepa.

I said: Milarepa. I have seen his poster in a local chapter when distributing Dharma literature round the island back home.

He is friendly and humble too; as when I remarked that he is giving out light blessing to all around him, he humbly replied that the praise is too high for him.

After SZ's announcement and the continued adulation from fellow students, he seems to have changed.

When I greeted him in Taiwan after an event and SZ was giving Abhiseka, he walked straight pass and ignored my "Hello!"

Hahaha!

I said to SZ then: O! O! another one?

I heard lots about his activities though.

He quoted Termas in buses to fellow students on the same one as him, on journey after event at Caotun.

SZ said he spent more than 10 years studying in Tibet or Nepal.

So at least quoting Termas shows that he did learn something that he could remember.

However, given that SZ said if One is a Reincarnation of Buddha or Bodhisattva, One Needs to Cultivate to LINK UP to the relevant Divinity one reincarnated from!

Well, if he can't make it this lifetime, then he has to return another time to complete his assignment lol.

Once again: Reflection of One's activities on a regular basis is beneficial for Cultivation.

Such a coincidence that I shared "Liao Fan's 4 Lessons" today! :)


Cheers all.
