Mingling 融汇

Terjemahan Indonesia: Berbaur

The above are photos of the crowd awaiting GM's "Moding" blessing outside the dining hall of Seattle Temple.

Have you ever truly have a good look at all these fellow students?

Have you noticed what happen when GM approached each one?

Hahaha!

Yes! There are lots that You have taken for granted!

To be a successful yogi, you need Boddhicitta!

Boddhicitta for all beings needs to be cultivated by Self.

If you do not bother to study all around you, pray tell how you can develop the relevant compassion to EASE their Sufferings?

I was observing the busy crowd this morning at breakfast in a local food centre and wet market.

As I mingle, I noticed people with different aura and posture.

Hahaha! My morning lesson!

Studying the beings all around me!

And you know something?

All the while, looking and studying and Chatting with GM on the different aura & posture presentation!

Lesson with Root Guru, guiding me along! :)

Try it!

Do remember that You never leave home without your Root Guru, either within you or by your side!

A word of caution though - Please don't think to use this lesson time to ask Root Guru to satisfy your Sentient Cravings or Fulfil your selfish wishes!


Cheers all.

This deed can be as simple as helping an aged cross the road or putting a smile on an unsmiling face, what if only for a second!

Making others happy, means sharing goodness.

Fellow student present at this session thanked me for sharing how to use Buddha Dharma for the benefit of Self as well as others

However, don't forget SZ said: with Sincerity and don't expect rewards!

4 Lessons of Liao Fan

Quoting from [Wikipedia – Liao-Fan’s Four Lessons]:

Liao-Fan Yuan was born during the Ming Dynasty, in about 1550, in Jiangsu Province, Wujiang County. Liao-Fan wrote a book, Liao-Fan's Four Lessons (了凡四訓), which was written originally to teach his son, Tian-Chi Yuan.

The principal idea behind these lessons is that destiny can be changed through proper cultivation of kindness and humility. Thus one should not be bound by fate, but by one's own actions.

Liao-Fan was told by a taoist monk, Mr. Kong, that he would only live to the age of fifty-three and have no son. At first, he disregarded this monk's words as farcical nonsense, but as Mr. Kong's other predictions began to occur with great accuracy, he then proactively made an effort to rewrite his fate. In relating his own life experience in changing destiny, 

Liao-Fan, at the age of sixty-nine, wrote and taught these four lessons to his son.

The first lesson shows how to create destiny. 

The second lesson explains the ways to reform. 

The third reveals the ways to cultivate kindness and 

the fourth discloses the benefits of the virtue of humility.

This book, still in circulation after more than 500 years, is said to be a useful foundation in learning Buddhism.

四篇主题

了凡四训全册划分为四篇，包括以下：

第一篇 立命之学 - 说明人的命运是可靠自己创造，而不是被命数所束缚。

第二篇 改过之法 - 从小的过失起改过，那自然便不会犯下大的过错。

第三篇 积善之方 - 多做善事帮助别人，善事积多了，命运自然也有所改变。

第四篇 谦德之效 - 与人相处，待人要谦虚，从中学习，自然便有进步。

Hahaha! I use Liao Fan's 4 lessons or his personal experiences in changing his own destiny, to help those that think they are doom or to help many to improve their lots in life.

YES! You can map your own destiny and the very BEST way is to Cultivate for Self as well as ALL! 

自主生死 Holding Control over Your Own Life & Death or Destiny!

Cheers all.
