蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 237_少少心懷 > 「不知足」的全是怪物

我欣賞莊子的《逍遙遊》:
I admire Zhuang-zi's <Carefree Wandering> :
  若夫乘天地之正,而御六氣之辯,以游無窮者。

  我欣賞米勒日巴的《道歌》,且看:
I admire Milarepa's <Path Song>, have a look:
  如同逃離惡陷阱,
  背離家鄉瑜伽樂。
  如同駿馬脫韁繩,
  脫離二取瑜伽樂。
  如同野獸遭傷殘,
  獨自安住瑜伽樂。
  如同雄鷹擊長空,
  觀察深遠瑜伽樂。
  如同涼風穿虛空,
  毫無遮止瑜伽樂。
  如同牧童牧羊群,
  牧守空淨瑜伽樂。
  如同須彌福壽山,
  永不變遷瑜伽樂。
  如同大河水長流,
  禪意綿綿瑜伽樂。
  如同寒林一死尸,
  拋捨萬物瑜伽樂。
  如同巨石擲海中,
  有去無回瑜伽樂。
  如同虛空昇太陽,
  光芒普照瑜伽樂。
  如同多羅樹剪斷,
  永無轉生瑜伽樂。

  這「莊子」與「米勒日巴」有共同之點,他們主張逃離家的束縛。
This [Zhuang-zi] & [Milarepa] have similar point, they promote escaping from the restraint of Home.
  所謂的家樂、所謂的財產、所謂的物質、所謂的名聲、所謂的親友,都看成陷阱及韁繩了。
The so-call happy home, inheritance, material, fame, kins and friends, all perceived as traps and leashes.

  他們認為:They believe:
  「人為物役」最是俗物。
[People toil/slave for material] is the most mortal's material.

  要:
  「不拘於物」最是逍遙。
Must be: [Not restricted by material] then is most carefree.

  莊子與米勒日巴所追求的,正是無牽無掛、獨立自主、自在的人格。
  他們認為一個人,被家束縛、被社會束縛、被國束縛,不如自由自在的投入大自然之中,這樣才叫著澄明透亮的逍遙。

  我看到世人:
  汲汲於追求事業的發展,追求擴大的企業,成為富豪排行榜上的名人,日日夜夜增長財產,多了還要更多。
  這些財物的追求者,真是怪物。
  又:
  人人追求美色、追求帥哥美女,整型美容,這邊戀愛,那邊戀愛,不知節制,顛顛倒倒,一天到晚追尋感官的快樂。
  這些美色的追求者,真是怪物。
  又:
  很多人追求聲名與地位,不擇任何手段,等到聲名與地位都得到了,也就是踏足於險地或陷入不利,無法脫身之時。
  這些「財、名、色」的尋覓者,真是怪物。
  他們每天自尋煩惱千千百百件,還不知足的繼續糾纏下去。
  真是怪物啊!我說,在這地球上,小小的一個星球,卻住滿了很多奇形怪狀的怪物。
  他們不知道,一切的一切,均是「無所得」嗎?
They don't know that everything is [Not attainable]?
  「不知足」痛苦。
Discontentment is suffering.
  「知足」常樂,何不:
[Contentment] is everlasting joy, why don't:
  寫少少文。Write a little essays.
  畫少少畫。Draw a little drawings.
  修少少法。Cultivate a little dharma.
  這樣的人生才快樂喲!
This way, life then can be happy!

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

Hahaha!
If you translate the rest of this article, you will find these are what GM Lu has been cautioning all to steer clear off for the past 40+ years! 

The Key: Let go!

如何学放下 How to Learn to Let Go?



Terjemahan Indonesia: Bagaimana Cara Belajar Merelakan?


From Mindfulness – Contemplation of Form [1]:

Extract:

[--- in the same way, the monk reflects on this very body from the soles of the feet on up, from the crown of the head on down, surrounded by skin and full of various kinds of unclean things:

'In this body there are head hairs, body hairs, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, tendons, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, large intestines, small intestines, gorge, feces, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, skin-oil, saliva, mucus, fluid in the joints, urine.'

And as he remains thus heedful, ardent, & resolute, any memories & resolves related to the household life are abandoned, and with their abandoning his mind gathers & settles inwardly, grows unified & centered.

This is how a monk develops mindfulness immersed in the body. ---]
    Extract:

[--- From this I realized that no matter how beautiful a person may be while alive,
no matter how attractive or how exquisite she is, so that the more you think about her the more enticing she becomes, nevertheless, once she dies, she will swell up just as grotesquely as anyone else.
She'll get just as green and mottled, and her flesh will break open.
Could you love her then?

Then the blood and filth oozes out, and the corpse starts to stink.
Dogs like it at this stage, but people stay far away from it.

Then the pus and rot forms.
Just thinking about it makes you want to vomit!

It would be impossible to kiss her by this time.
Then the worms grow: big ones and little ones.
The flies and blue-flies come in swarms.
They draw near to her and at that point you wouldn't even get jealous.

The flesh scatters and the bare bones are all that remain.
Then it's burned and the entire thing disappears.

Tell me, where has that beautiful person gone?

Through this contemplation he grew to loathe forms, and came to understand that the nature of all form is unclean.
---]

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

Yes! 
Transformation!
In the process, you will realised the Impermanence of All Forms!

AND, you need to practice to Perfect this "Skill" in order to reach Enlightenment! :)

In Lamdre, one of the 3 Visions is the Vision of Experiences!

Therefore, you need to put in regularly and diligent efforts to advance in the Cultivation ladder!

No one can do it for you, but a Good and Experienced or Enlightened Guru can guide you along.

THINK: Do you need anyone that dictates to you or force you to Obey & Execute or act out their "vengeances"?
Hahaha!

Wake Up!

Realised now why I always advise you to "Listen only to your One & Only Root Guru"?

I am not putting anyone out of "Business", But just telling you the Truth As It Is, if you want to move along the Bodhi Path!


Cheers all.

神通~神变知多少 How Much Do You Know about Astral Power~Astral Transform


Astral Transformation at work!
神变中!



AA: 我在真佛宗二三十年,别人讲神通我都不听。唯独你讲神通,我都相信。
[In True Buddha School these 20-30 years, I don't listen to those that talk about Astral Power.
Only when you do so, I believe them all.]

BB: 哈哈哈!我比较神吗?
[Hahaha! I am more "Astral" (Fantastic & Powerful) than them?]

AA: 不是!因为你说每个人都能做到!
[No! Because you said everyone also can achieve the same!]

---

Hahaha! YES! I am not lying and I can assure all that willing to cultivate diligently adhering to SZ's guidance that YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

From the above chat, AA can't differentiate what is Astral Power and Astral Transformation, agree?

Yes! If you read all the articles that I wrote on POWER, you will find that MOST have great misconception of what POWER or more correctly Astral or Transcendental Power is all about!

Most people when talking about their "powers" are all bluff because they give you the misconception that ONLY THEY CAN HAVE THESE POWERS AND YOU CAN'T!

In my case, I share Visualization Techniques with you all, which is actually techniques of Astral Transformation.

AND & Only When you are sincere and diligent in Cultivation with SZ's guidance and Bodhicitta, you will first achieve Purity and then you can Yoga and then and ONLY THEN, you can Yoga with Guru and any yidam you choose, and Your Execution of Transformation can then be effective as this resultant is Astral Power to Compassionately Help All Beings.

As Immeasurable as the numbers of Beings, Your "Power" is just as uncountable or infinite!

So what I am and what I can do, doesn't matter and shouldn't matter to you, as YOU are solely responsible for your own destiny.

As Guru said: 我們是為了解脫六道輪迴,所以才要修行,解脫是第一要義!
[In order to free ourselves from Samsara, we therefore cultivate, Freeing is the First Elemental Truth!]

Hahaha! See? SZ actually revealed to all what is the First Elemental Truth 第一要義!

解脫 – Disentangle and Free Self

SZ asked recently: How to achieve 立断 Instant or Immediate Break-off or Break-free?

Well? The answer I have given to Pure Karma's events attendees is {LET GO}!

Simple term {Let Go}! But you have to do this gradually with strict diligence and clear attachment or fixation of sentient materials or matters, listening to SZ will help you heaps!


Cheers all. 

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

Lotuschef on "The Law Made You A Victim?"



The above HK drama series, Will Power 法外风云 has concluded.

It exhibited Karmic influences pretty well. :)

天网恢恢疏而不漏 - The Heavenly Net though sparse do not have leakage.

It is heartening to see that the unscrupulous and evil eventually got their just deserts though. :)

However, in Reality of Real Life, how many are made Victims by the Legal Professionals that "uphold the Law" in their own interpretations?

EVIDENCE is the Sole & Principal Culprit it seems in most of the cases and this can be fabricated Credibly to victimized!


AA said: I am going to tell on JR, his boss should know........

I told AA that he should not do such things as JR & his boss will eventually face their own karmic deeds and at this juncture, telling on JR will only make AA appear small & petty.

AA thinks that JR & his boss had wronged him in business dealings, and somehow wanted to say "I told you so" to JR's boss.

Action is not necessary at all.
Trust Karma to take over eventually.
Harboring discontent against anyone makes one more stress and unhappy.

SZ said: Let Go of unwholesome thoughts in Maha Perfection Practices, so why dive into any discord or hang on to any at all?

LET GO - the operative to happiness and successful cultivation to Buddhahood!

I have shared repeatedly that Diamond Sutra actually teaches us to Void All and especially One's Mindset of being controlled versus taking control of One's destiny.

Hahaha! That is if you think someone has the power to harm you then he has.
If you think that the Law victimizes you, then it can too! :)

In my case? Hahaha! The Law seems to have made me a Victim?
Now prioritize & think again. :)

Think: The Law helps me to realized many things, I learned lots from my encounters and most of all, Letting Go and Move Forward.

A friend asked me 2 days ago, where and what is my ex doing?
My answer: I have no idea.


Be glad that you can walk away from unwholesome & evil people and their deeds and do not let them leave any scars in you at all.

Eventually you will realize what SZ means by saying "Everything is for a moment in time only!"

Yes! Everything, good or bad, passes and become the PAST.
In Buddha Dharma, Truth is that there is No Good Nor Bad. :)

Understanding philosophy of Buddha Dharma, you can Void all easily and cultivate well.
Your most important Key is to listen attentively to your own Root Guru and practice well what he teaches and shares.


Cheers all.
