展漏才華必招人妒 Showing Abilities draws Jealousy


Terjemahan Bahasa: Unjuk Kemampuan Akan Mengundang Kedengkian
Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 237_少少心懷 > 展漏才華必招人妒

井底之蛙 Frog at the bottom of well

我讀「龍欽巴全傳」,知道「龍欽巴」四方參學,獲得了「博學」的成就。如同經典說的:
I read [Longchenpa's full story]. know that [Longchenpa] seek knowledge all around,  achieved [learned] success. 
Just as the sutras state:

「華嚴經」——「如欲疾速現證圓滿佛位,須先聞法,廣聞博學,到達聞法大海的彼岸。」
Flower Adornment sutra -- If seek to swiftly affimed perfect Buddha's seat, must first hear dharma, widely hear and be learned, arriving at other shore of great sea of heard dharma.

「經莊嚴論」——「如無通達五明等學,即使是薄伽梵那樣的聖哲,也不能成為具一切智者。要讓人心悅誠服,化導群迷,自己首先須學好一切知識。」
Abhisamayalankara -- Without complete understanding of 5 Realisation and like studies, even if like saintly bhagavant, also won't become one that have all wisdoms. To let others' hearts be joyful and sincerely concede, guide & transform confused crowd, One must first learn well all knowledge.

「集經」——「常依上師及智者,能生(善巧 -kausalya) 之功德,欲證佛果依善文,功德聖主佛所說。」
Mahāsaṃnipāta Sutra -- always adhering to one's guru and wise ones, will give rise to merits of good & skilful, want to affirm Buddha's fruit need to follow good literature, spoken by Saintly Merit Buddha.

又:And:
「寶聖論」——「將世間一切事全部捨棄,至一無可捨時,最後所餘者,必是般若無疑,因此,般若最足珍貴,而聞法是般若的基礎,所以聞法又彌足珍貴。」
Treasure Saint Sermon -- Discard every matter in this sentient world, till no more to discard, final remaining is no doubt Prajna, thus, prajna is the most treasured, and hearing dharma is the foundation of prajna, thus hear dharma also fill up treasure.

依經典所言:
As per sutra's statements:
「聞法」很重要。[Hear dharma] very important.
「博學」很重要。[Widespread learning] very important.

所以「龍欽巴」向所有的大善智識學習。
Thus [longchenpa] learned from all great kalyana-mittata.

龍欽巴禮拜的師父有:

紮西仁青阿闍梨。

黎贊貢巴阿闍梨。

確班堅燦阿闍梨。

洛佐丹巴大譯師。

旬努頓珠阿闍梨。

旬努傑波阿闍梨。

噶瑪巴法王。

旺那阿闍梨。

須色仁波切。

東楚阿闍梨。

江陽巴上師。

索即佳燦上師。

綽巴仁波切。

等等等等。

龍欽巴的師父,共二十多位。
Longchenpa has a total of more than 20 gurus.

而我的學法與龍欽巴尊者的學法,不相上下。
And my learning method is pretty similar to that of venerable Longchenpa.

由於龍欽巴尊者展露了他的才華,因此,有很多學者嫉妬他。
As Venerable Longchenpa revealed his talent, thus many leaners became jealous of him.

龍欽巴尊者博學及有智慧,有人讚賞,有人懷恨。
Venerable Longchenpa's widespread learning and wisdom, there are some that praise and some harbour hatred.

他在桑普寺求學。
He study at gsang phu temple.
受到人的排斥。
Alienated by others.
他被人從一僧舍,趕到另一僧舍,共有七次之多。
He was chased out from one Sangha dormitory to another, totalling more than 7 times.
大家不喜歡他。
All don't like him.

這是:This is:
「井底之蛙,不喜大海。」
Frog at bottom of well, don't like the big sea.
「夏蟲怎能語冰。」
Summer worm unable to talk about ice.
「黑雲阻大日。」
Black cloud block great sun.

龍欽巴被誹謗,被驅逐。(被霸凌)
Lonchenpa was defamed and chased away. (being bullied)

我讀到此,哈哈哈大笑,原來上下古今都一樣,那些古井之蛙,是見不得人有成就的。
Reading up to here, I Hahaha laughed heartily, so from of old to now, those Well-bottom frogs, can't bear to see others' successes.

你如果有才華,才一露出,便招來嫉妬。
If you have talent, just reveal once, then draw jealousy.

展露才華,一定要有技巧。
Showing talent, must have technique.

展露過多,智者不取。
Show too much, not acceptable for wise ones.

我盧師尊就是遭遇到這樣的環境,太招人注目了,實在不好,不妙。
I, GM Lu, met with these situation, greatly attracted others' attention, really not good, not well.

「如何才是好?」人問。
[Then what best to do?] people asked.

我答:「少少露出,才是妙,要節制適中。」
I replied: Reveal a little, then well, must limit appropriately.

詩:Poem:
這個世界到處是小蟲 There are little worms everywhere in this world
為何被叮 Why got stung
因為你的花紅 Because you are red flower
**[When people see "red" in Chinese context, means jealous. Red eye -眼红]

聖賢此心均相同 Heart of saintly all alike
因為崇高 because being sublime
須躲在深山中隱居 need to hide in deep mountain in seclusion
永永 forever
兩極必然不相容 two polars surely won't mutually merge together.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“佛子!菩萨摩诃萨以十事故,现处童子地。
Buddha's disciples! Boddhisattva Mahasattva based on 10 matters, exhibit attain Kumara's level.
何等为十?What are these 10?
所谓:So-called:
为现通达一切世间文字、算计、图书、印玺种种业故,处童子地;
To exhibit complete grasp of all sentient's written words, calculations, literary books, print & seal all types of karmic matters, attain Kumara's level;

为现通达一切世间象马、车乘、弧矢、剑戟种种业故,处童子地;
为现通达一切世间文笔、谈论、博弈、嬉戏种种事故,处童子地;
为现远离身、语、意业诸过失故,处童子地;
To exhibit distancing body, speech, mind type of karmic wrongs, attain Kumara's level;

为现入定住涅槃门,周遍十方无量世界故,处童子地;
为现其力超过一切天、龙、夜叉、乾闼婆、阿修罗、迦楼罗、紧那罗、
摩睺罗伽、释、梵、护世、人、非人等故,处童子地;
为现菩萨色相威光超过一切释、梵、护世故,处童子地;
为令耽著欲乐众生欢喜乐法故,处童子地;
为尊重正法,勤供养佛,周遍十方一切世界故,处童子地;
为现得佛加被蒙法光明故,处童子地。
是为十。

华严经 - 入法界品第三十九 [13]

尔时,善财童子蒙善知识力,依善知识教,念善知识语,
于善知识深心爱乐,作是念言:
“因善知识,令我见佛;因善知识,令我闻法。
善知识者是我师傅,示导于我诸佛法故;
善知识者是我眼目,令我见佛如虚空故;
善知识者是我津济,令我得入诸佛如来莲华池故。”

For English version: please refer to Entering the Dharma Realm Part 1
and please respect dharma shared.


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

The 2 passages extracted from Flower Adornment Sutra have similar keys to GM Lu's article shared above.

O! to those that loves to hit out in Jealousy or harbour hatred from jealousy, You are just one of many ignorants that share similar behaviour from ancient times! :)

道心坚固? Guru's Statements? [3]

If time and space are absent when scrutinized,
then in the same way they are surely absent when they are not under scrutiny,
for then the parameters of investigation are absent,
and the objective field has neither specific nor general characteristics.
~ from Natural Perfection: Longchenpa’s Radical Dzogchen
(trans. Keith Dowman)

Terjemahan Indonesia: 道心坚固? Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [3]

道心 – Heart dedicated to Dao or Path. In here, refers to Bodhi Path.

坚固 – Steadfast and Firm.

Combining both - Means Cultivator's Heart/Mind won't be tempted to change direction under any circumstances.

During the Defamation Saga, Guru said in one of his speeches about those who left TBS because they heard negatives about Guru.
Many think that Guru should do something to these "Bodhi Path's Hearts"!

Hahaha!

What did Guru said about these "Bodhi Path Hearts"?

These kind of Hearts or Mindsets are developed through studious and diligent cultivation to Successfully Yoga with Guru or Vajrasattva to start with! 

Like the indestructible quality or characteristic of the Vajra, these hearts "Once Found" will never be lost or disappeared, no matter what situation or provocation!

Guru just talked on 19-1-2013 about [ [ 大圆满觉 = 明心见性
Maha Perfection Realization = Comprehending Heart, Sighting Nature.
When One reach this level of cultivation, one can Truly Execute At Will.
Big wind can’t move – means unperturbed by anything. This yogi is not moved or can’t be provoked to anger or any reactions.] ]
These phrase [道心]  had been bandied around Once too Often without the users' True understanding of its meaning and usages! :)

Therefore, those who told Guru that many left because they lost these "Bodhi Path's Hearts", Obviously have not achieved True Yoga with Guru or any Yidams, agree?

Do you all also agree that with what I have shared in the previous 2 articles on the Authenticity of the Alleged statements from Guru, they are unlikely to be Truly from Guru, an enlightened one and a Living Buddha too? :)

Agree that it is best to listen only to Guru?
That's why it is best to stick to Guru's books, videos, and transcripts of Guru's speeches in full by True Buddha Weekly publication. 

Checking for Authenticity is necessary so that You will not be led astray or into Mara's arms, agree?

In item 7, the writer is obviously jealous of those that abide discipline and cultivated well, agree?
That is why, item 10, further stress this jealousy, agree?

Seems the writer or maybe writers, are confused and have no clear idea what is True Yoga, but attempted to vent their jealousies and unhappiness at those that "in their eyes" Cultivated well, agree?

Well, I am sure that from Guru statements at speeches, we can find out the Truth about those statements being genuine or not, correct?

O! About Merits? A True Yogi Don't Need Any!

Cheers all.

Guru's Statements? [2]

Sapia is one of the souls purging themselves of envy on the second terrace. The envious shades are seated together, leaning against one another and against boulders. Their coarsely woven cloaks are similar in color to the plain appearance of the rocks. Since they derived pleasure from seeing other people brought low, the envious are now deprived of sight in an atrocious manner: their eyes are sewn shut with iron wire. With tears squeezed out of their closed eyes, these souls huddle together like blind beggars (13.43-72).
Sapia, born around 1210 into the prominent Salvani family of Siena, perversely rejoiced upon witnessing the defeat of her fellow citizens (ghibellines from Siena) at Colle di Val d'Elsa, where her proud nephew Provenzan Salvani was killed. She now puns on her name in recognition of her foolishness (despite her name--Sapia--she was not wise [savia], 13.109-10). Sapia shows her eagerness to speak with Dante by raising her chin in the direction of his voice.

LC:  Read my latest? Guru's Statements? [1]
Hehe.
Naughty again!


AA: i still dont get with the number 10 point. it looks okay for me. :D explain it lar Fashi


LC: BB, u explain n see how, please


BB: Lol.
If you read again there are 2 opposing fragments in the statement no.10, and together you might think that the statement is unreasonable.

The first, stating that the topmosts and in the end is closed with forgetting the Root Lineage being at the hand of Mara, is by the way true.

But you might think, yogi with utmost wisdom to forget the Root Lineages is too funny to be true?!


The second, as fashi said "What are you trying to convey here? Are you jealous at those with accomplishments?"

The third, "Yogi who feels..." - is very personal. From whose perspective? From that of the majority? that of the reader?

Hahaha. I dunno, if he's sincere and able to ignore disturbing emotions that annoy his heart, this kind of statement won't appear. 

Seeing those with accomplishments, he will be happy; seeing those without accomplishment, he's okay too as everyone bears his/her own karma and will be liberated when the time is right.


LC: Bravo!
BB got it all!

BB dear, u are uncannily like me in thought trend!

Yes! What do you consider Topmost in everything?

Dualism again. When someone is Top then the writer is the one at the bottom! 

A topmost cultivator is ONLY SUCCESSFUL because he understands Root Lineages and cultivate accordingly!



The Mara part is jealousy at work, its in the form of a curse at those at the TOP!

These are all from 4 Noble truths n its 8 fold paths!
True Buddha Dharma & Wisdom!


Hahaha!


AA: Aha, now it does make sense. if relates the number 7 and number 10, it perfectly makes sense. yes, there are jealousy atmosphere inside lol

---

This brainstorming actually very like a Zen Dialogue?  :)
That is what Guru is doing on the most recent Saturday, during his Dharma Speech.

I am glad that there are readers that do understand what I am trying to share and what and how to read certain statements.

Happy cultivating!

Guru's Statements? [1]


Terjemahan Indonesia: Pernyataan-pernyataan dari Guru? [1]

Source: 密教弟子應嚴守三昧耶戒

2012年9月22日,法王盧師尊蓮生活佛於西雅圖雷藏寺餐廳午膳畢,由於深深關心弟子戒行,特別開示密教戒律重點如下:
  
一、就師尊而言,對任何眾生,實無分別。然而,真佛行者修行深淺自有不同,凡是對於叛離傳承之人,行者不可與之交往,甚至交談亦不超過三句話,以免受其不正之念影響。
  
二、密教有「十四大戒」甚至更有「十六戒」,有「事師法五十頌」等戒律,以後應該發戒律給新求皈依者,明白之後再求皈依。
  
三、密教行者對於根本上師的衣帽,都不可觸犯。根本上師的床不可踏、坐。弟子不可足踏師影。不可於背後議論、妄測師父的境界。
  
四、昔日西藏赤松德真王,因故驅逐自己的根本上師──蓮華生大士,甚至派兵追殺。赤松德真王還以芥子咒術釋放蓮師所鎮住在湖中的紅牛魔。於是紅牛魔轉世成為赤松德真王之孫,掌權當王後滅佛,終令興盛一時的西藏王朝湮滅。可見,叛離自己的根本傳承,亦會導致滅國的業報。
  
五、昔日的密教規矩:師父未吩咐弟子看的書,弟子自己去讀也是犯戒。其他還有種種密教戒律。師尊比較主張自由民主,等弟子明白犯戒了,再向根本傳承懺悔還淨。
  
六、昔日阿底峽尊者在印尼占碑參見金洲大師欲求法,大師觀察他一年才答應傳法。所以師尊說:「當初弟子要皈依師父前,彼此應該互審其器。(彼此應該觀察)。」
行者一旦離開自己的師父,不管師父如何,皆不可批評。因為,當初皈依師父,就必須守「三昧耶戒」誓盟。妄自批評師父,即為犯戒。
  
7. 七、即使守戒清嚴第一的行者,都輸給一心侍奉根本上師的侍者。即使侍者無暇修法,都得到師父的功德,甚為殊偉。
  
八、弟子犯錯,被師父責罵是應該的。弟子若犯三昧耶戒,則有金剛神執戒,令犯戒弟子臨終墮入金剛地獄。
  
九、師尊常以根本上師為頂飾,每次說法均先頂禮傳承上師,即得加持傳法開示,否則,其說法將無益於眾生。
  
10. 十、凡認為自己法力第一,功德第一,智慧第一的行者,認為自己成就非凡而忘卻根本傳承者,此人早已被魔挾持。

Dear Readers, the above is alleged to be Guru's Statement regarding Disciplines. 
The speech was not documented by any video recording though.

In some recent articles, I have already analysed item no. [7] quite thoroughly.
Use translation tools if necessary and try digesting the rest please. 
Note the Bold & Underline parts. :) 
Some I agree and some I don't. Have fun! 

I have special interest in item no. [10] too. Hahaha! 
Translated as: Those yogi who feel that their Dharma powers are topmost; Merits are topmost; Wisdom is topmost; achievements are unparalleled and forget Root Lineage, these people are already under control or taken hostage by Mara.

Isn't there a "sour grapes" flavor to this statement?  :) 
I mean those who "don't have time to cultivate, also can get Guru's merits" [7]. 
Is it can't or unable to cultivate diligently, that's why no advancement or achievement? 

Stressing the Importance of Root Lineage is to be applaud. However the context of the whole notice, seems to refute this reverence of Root Lineage, Root Guru, in that it has hidden agendas of Selfishness and Ignorance of those that lack true understanding of Buddha Dharma.
The Invasion of Sentient Mindset Factor! 

Hahaha! You don't have to agree with my point of view though. In Buddha Dharma context, YOU are free to have your own interpretation and usages too, as Buddha Dharma is Immeasurable too! 

Cheers All.

Lotuschef on Differences of Power


Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengenai Perbedaan Kekuatan
Image © BrassIvyDesign

Dearest Fashi,
I am AA who is a bit silly, remember?
I hv been practicing Vajrasatva sadhana since u represent Secun to teach us detailed ones at ZZ. Really happy to hv a mentor around.
And at d same time , a kalyanamitra.
I do hope Lama will continue teaching us n give us guidance about tbf sadhana.

So far, it has been no prob. 
But according to some people, if I continue this practice, problem is not to me but my wife n baby in my wife's belly.

However, I try practice sadhana Vajrasatva everyday without stopping. 
In hope that I practice what Secun ask us disciple, "one day no practice is d same like being a ghost/evil".
I hv dream to achieve buddhahood in this life.

Cheers and keep in touch,
Happy New Year,
OmGuruLianShenSiddhiHum

Hi AA,
Nice to hear from you.

Hahaha! Thanks for compliments to say I am representing Shizun. :)

[But according to some people, if I continue this practice, problem is not to me but my wife n baby in my wife's belly.]

How can universal blessing be harmful to ANYONE?
Buddha shares A Path to Happiness for all!

Well, many are saying I am evil too, always talking about Astral & Dharma Power! :)
They do not know what are these and take them for something called Spiritual power, which actually also wrongly used.
This is not power but an ability to communicate or see spirits which are ghosts.
Yes! some can only see ghosts & they deluded themselves they have powers like Dharma Power or Astral Powers.

Being able to see ghosts, one has a Spiritual or Ghostly Eye! Not a Heavenly Eye! 
because these people are more Ying, which is in same frequency ranges with Ghosts, therefore they can see them. 

As to Power over Ghosts? Hahaha! 
There is an article I wrote about Making a Pact with the Demon. 
For Ghosts or Spirits; you make promises to give them certain materials and they will help you in exchange only.
Isn't this like making a pact with the Demon? :)

As per SZ, Vajrasattva's Practice can attain Buddhahood when One Yogas.
As Vajrasattva is a combination of 5 Buddhas. 
Diligent Practice is the Key & don't forget Boddhicitta though! 

Astral/Dharma Powers? 
These need to be use for the Betterment of all sentient beings and do no cause harm to any being at all! 
Most people are ignorant of the Truth and slander; scold; defame; those they fear of having Powers to harm them or control them. 
They truly do not understand the very basic Truth that Dharma Power or ability, is for the benefit of all and can only be use in this context or aspect only!

Dharma power is immeasurable and unfathomable by those that have yet to cultivate to Yoga! 
Take a good look at those faces that crave power; fame; wealth; in the name of Buddha! 
Hahaha! They all taken on features of beasts; ghosts.....





These are recent photos taken during fire puja.
See the peace; joy and rosy glow on me? 
I am not self-promoting though! 

Hahaha! At least these show that I am not the Evil being that ignorants label me, correct? :)

People not only hit out at the Unknown though. They do so from Jealousy too!

Guru has been on the receiving end of lots of slander, defamation, scolding, threatened lawsuits; but he is still standing firm as He is Able to Void All! 

The Call by so called Pro-Guru group of students to defend Guru and apprehend the defamators are truly a waste of resources like time & money, as their acts are frivolous and for some, making use of others to take their own personal revenge.

They listed me into "monkey-list" and some went and emailed or messaged all round, warning students to "unfriend" or stay away from me and those they "monkey-listed" or black-listed as opposition! Hahaha! 
Notice how much anger & hatred they churned with the [ilovegm] forum?
What a crazy waste of Energy too!!! Hahaha! 

If you are one that listened to these people, sad to say that you gave power to them to THINK & ACT for you! You failed to truly understand Guru's teachings and Buddha Dharma all these times too! 
So you are truly wasting your short lifespan as a Human chasing the Wrong Direction!

Still the same advice: LISTEN ONLY TO YOUR OWN ROOT GURU!

And WAKE UP!
