「大圓滿法」口訣 ~ 發菩提心 Key of [Maha Perfection Dharma] ~ Bodhicitta Vow




Translated from the following:
师尊讲:「大圓滿法」口訣部 -發菩提心的口訣

Source: 2014-01-04《蓮生法王開示》願菩提「自他互換」 行菩提「眾生平等」  勝義菩提「不為甚麼而行善」


再講「大圓滿法」口訣部。
今天要講的口訣是甚麼?
就是發菩提心的口訣。
修「大圓滿法」也要發菩提心。
In the Key pointer section of [Maha Perfection Dharma] ~ Boddhicitta Vow is one of them. Cultivating [Maha Perfection Dharma] also need to make Boddhicitta Vows.

為什麼?Why?

只要是大乘的法,都要發菩提心。
As long as its Mahayana's dharma, all need to make Boddhicitta Vows.
密教有三 個重點,一個是發菩提心,一個是出離心,一個是中觀正見。
Tantrayana's 3 important key points ~ one is making boddhicitta vow, one is renunciation mindset, one is the middle path right view.

發菩提心是一個重點,才叫做大乘。
Making Boddhicitta Vow is an important key point, then term Mahayana.

如果是小乘佛教,就是度自己,不管別人。
If its Hinayana, that is succour self, do not care about others.

大乘佛教是度自己,也 還要度眾生,才是菩薩。
Mahayana teachings is succour self, also succour sentient beings, then is a Boddhisattva.

通常菩薩從初地到第十地,千手千眼觀世音菩薩有十一個頭,代表祂是第十一地的菩薩,等於是佛。
十地菩薩到了等覺,等於是佛,妙覺就是佛了。
所以觀世音菩薩是第十一地的佛,只是化身為菩薩救度眾生而已,因為觀世音菩薩有菩提心,所以才稱為菩薩。所有受過菩薩戒的,都要發菩提心。
  菩提心有願菩提、行菩提、勝義菩提,重要的是這三個,這三個都有口訣。

記得阿底峽尊者(Atisha) 從斯里蘭卡坐船出發到印尼爪哇,就是印尼的占碑,祂去跟金洲大師 學法。

金洲大師有一個號叫「{人+扁}斗」。
金洲大師主要傳給祂的就是發菩提心。
金洲大師教阿底峽尊者一個特別的方法,甚麼方法是發菩提心的方法?

大家記 住了:「自他互換」Mutual Exchange of Personal status,就是發菩提心的方法。

我們之所以不會發出菩提心,是因為我們沒有感覺到,如果你能感覺到你的苦,你就會發菩提心。
The reason we do not develop Boddhicitta, is because we never feel as they do, if you can feel your suffering, you will then develop the wish to make Boddhicitta vow.
  這怎麼講?How to say?
第一個,你到醫院看病人,你看病人躺在那裡,他病得很重,甚至已經是末期,你看著他,然後自他互換,你自己變成那個病人,病人變成你,就是 這樣。
Point one, you go visit a patient in hospital, seeing the patient lying there, seriously ill, even terminally ill, you look at him, then [Mutual exchange of status] , you transform into the ill person, the ill person become you, that is it.

你看一個老人,他很老了,很辛苦、很慢地在走路,你為什麼發起菩提心,要幫助那個老人帶他過馬路?
You sighted an old person, he is very old, lots of hardship, very slow in crossing the road, why did you develop boddhicitta to help him cross the road?
.........
  金洲大師{人+扁}斗就是教阿底峽尊者「自他互換法」,
祂說:「阿底峽,你聽著,發菩提心最重要的一點──自他互換。
當你看別人痛苦,你自己本身要想 那個痛苦的本身就是你,你自然就發菩提心。」
<<Dharmakīrtiśrī (Tibetan: Serlingpa; Wylie: gser gling pa; Chinese: 金州大師, literally "from Suvarnadvīpa"), also known as Kulānta and Suvarṇadvipi Dharmakīrti, was a renowned 10th century Buddhist teacher remembered as a key teacher of Atiśa. His name refers to the region he lived, somewhere in Lower Burma, the Malay Peninsula or Sumatra >>

Serlingpa taught Atisa: Mutual Exchange of Personal status.
Serlingpa: Atisa, you listen to this, making boddhicitta vows' most important point is [Mutual Exchange of personal status].
When you see others' suffering, you must think that the suffering is yours personally, you will naturally develop Boddhicitta.

你要罵人以前,你就要先想到,如果你被罵,你會怎麼樣?
Before you scold people, you must first think that if you are being scolded, what will happen to you?
你要傷害人,你就要想到,如果你被傷害,你會怎麼樣?
When you harm others, you must think of what if you are being harm, what will happen to you?
我們不但不可以殺人、傷害人、罵人,都不可以。
We not only can't kill, injure, scold others, all these cannot.

反過來,我們還要發菩提心去同情。
Turn around, we must have Boddhicitta to empathize. 

<<四梵住(梵語:चत्वारि ब्रह्मविहाराः,catvāri brahmavihārāḥ,巴利語:cattāri brahmavihārā),又譯四梵行,佛教名詞,即是修行與實踐慈、悲、喜、捨四種心境。源自於古印度婆羅門教,後為佛教所沿用。佛教究竟修行者需將這四種心境擴展至無邊無際,因此又稱為四無量心、四無量觀。>>

修行四梵住時,以慈心觀為入門,也可以慈心觀來統攝四梵住。
所謂發菩提心就是慈悲喜捨:
As to Making Boddhicitta vows, it is the Four Immeasurables:
慈,就是給人快樂;Kindness - give others happiness;
悲,拔除人家的痛苦;empathize - pull out or eliminate others' sufferings;
喜, 就是歡喜,隨喜的去做這些事情;joy - that is fondness/happiness, follow your fond/happy will to execute matters;
捨,平等心就是捨,平等無差別的心就是捨。Is to gift without holding back, it is the Equality mindset, Equal and without differentiation mindset is Upekkha.

<<捨(梵語:ऊपेक्खा,Upekkhā,或upekṣaka,adhyupekṣaṇā),佛教術語,是一種平等而安穩的心態。為四梵住與七覺支之一。它也是一種心所,說一切有部將其列入大善地法中。>>

這就是發菩提心的口訣。
This is then the Key point of making Boddhicitta vow.

為什麼會發菩提心?
Why make Boddhicitta vow?
你經常想「如果他是我」,自他互換: 看到窮的人,自他互換,你就會產生布施的心;
You often think of [What if he is me], mutual exchange or status: when you see the poor, mutual exchange of status, you will develop Dana mindset;
看到痛苦的人,自他互換,你覺受到那個痛苦,你就會發菩提心;
when you see people suffering, mutual exchange of status, you feel their suffering, you will develop boddhicitta;
看到很悲慘的人,你就會自他互換。這就是口訣。
seeing others' extreme sorrows, you will mutually exchange status with them. 
This is the Key point.
遇到每一件事情,都要自他互換,這就是願菩提心。
Encountering every matter, also must do Mutual exchange of status, this is Wish Boddhicitta.

你已經發願了,要做為一個菩薩。
You already make a vow to become a Boddhisattva.

菩薩是為別人想,不為自己想。
Boddhisattva is think on behalf of others' wellbeing, not for self.

我跟大家講,願菩提很簡單,自他互換,就結束了。

◎你看別人悲慘的人生,你設身處地為他想,眼淚就流下來,心裡非常地慈悲他們,就是發菩提心。你發願要幫助那些沒有飯吃的,幫助那些殘障的,幫助那些病苦 在床上的,你要特別去照料他們,像印度的Saint Teresa,祂就是發菩提心。

發菩提心以後,就是行菩提心,行,就是去做去實現,你發了願,你就是要去做。
After vowing boddhicitta, is executing boddhicitta, execute is to realise the vow your made, you vowed so you go execute and realise.
為什麼要去做呢?
這時候,你因為發菩提心,願菩提出來了。
在佛來講,眾生平等,都是一樣,大家都有佛性,我珍惜你的佛性,你珍惜我的佛性,大家一律都 是平等的;
誰也不侵犯誰,誰也不辜負誰,我不辜負你,你也不辜負我。

這就是平等無差別的心,叫做行菩提心。
簡單的講,因為你看眾生都是平等了,
自然你產生 大慈大悲的菩提心,你給人家的不是痛苦,是給人家快樂,
解決人家的痛苦,你歡喜的去做,以這歡喜心去做就是平等無差別。
你沒有衣服穿,我給你衣服;你沒有 飯吃,我就給你飯吃。
轉一個身來想,如果,你是一個病人,在冬天洗冷水澡的話,你會怎麼樣?
所以,到了行菩提就是自他平等沒有差別。
Thus, reaching Execute boddhicitta is self and others equal and no differences.
.....
所以發菩提心,既然發了菩提心的願,當你看到別人怎麼樣,你馬上行動幫助他,這 就是行菩提心。
行菩提心的口訣,很簡單,就是平等視眾生。Execute boddhicitta is very simple, you sight all beings as equals.
............
和尚說:「在這個世界上,沒有甚麼事情是放不下的,只要痛了,你自 然會放下。」
Reverend said: In this world, nothing is cannot be let go of, only when pained, you naturally will let go.

師尊是 感受到眾生的苦,這就讓我想到維摩詰大士講的一句話,祂說:「眾生有病,我有病。」
大家搞不清楚,為什麼維摩詰大士會講這句話,這就是自他互換,發菩提 心,維摩詰大士在教大家發菩提心。別人有病我有病,就是要發菩提心。有一隻老烏龜訓練一群小烏龜做伏地挺身,其中有一隻很容易地做完一百個,並且馬上跟老 烏龜講:「這算甚麼呢?」
老烏龜就藐視牠說:「你有這麼大的能耐,那麼,你去那邊做兩個仰臥起坐看看。」
烏龜做伏地挺身是很容易的,做一百下是很容易的, 但是叫牠做仰臥起坐,龜殼根本沒有辦法動。
所以,人是有能有不能,這裡也就是講人是有能有不能,人是有樂有不樂,能設身處地為人想,就是要發菩提心,要平等無差別。

  最後一個,勝義菩提心的口訣,甚麼是勝義菩提心的口訣?
就是「空」。
The final one, Ultimate/Absolute or Surpass all meaning boddhicitta's key point is [Void].
願菩提就是「自他互換」;Wish Boddhicitta is [Mutual exchange of status];
行菩提就是「眾生平等」,平等的智慧;Execute Boddhicitta is [All Beings are Equal], Wisdom of equality;
勝義菩提心就是 「空」,做菩提事業不為什麼而做就是「空」;不為什麼而做才是真正的做。
Surpass all meaning boddhicitta is [Void], executing bodhi matters not for any motive is then [Void]; not for any ulterior motive to execute is then truly execute.

你為甚麼而做?
就不是真正的做。
勝義菩提就是做了就忘了。
Surpass all meaning boddhicitta is execute then forget.

師尊看蓮極上師,師尊看了,覺得心有悽悽之感,雖然蓮極上師的眼睛經常這樣瞟來瞟去,但是他的心還是豆腐心;口是很利,但是是豆腐心。
.........
你要 發願菩提,做一個菩薩;
你要行菩提,盡力去做你的善業,你要去救度眾生;
然後,你要將這些救度跟你做的善事歸於空,你不是為甚麼而做的。

所謂功德,就不是功德,因為沒有功德想才是功德,這是勝義菩提心。
So call merits is not merits, because do not have merits then is merits, this is Surpass all meaning boddhicitta.

凡是你所做的都歸於空;凡是你所做的並不是為甚麼而做的;
並不是為了要揚名立萬,做善事要讓人家知道。
「我是一個善人」,到處講:「我是一個善人」,這就不是善,
因為你是為了做一個善人才做善事。

不為甚麼而行了善,這就是勝義菩提心,就是空。
Executing kindness not for any motive/rewards, this is Surpass all meaning Boddhicitta, this is [Void].

所以,「大圓 滿」發菩提心的口訣就是自他互換、平等無差,最後是空。
Thus, [Maha Perfection] boddhicitta vow's key pointers ~ mutual exchange of status, equal without differences, finally [void].

嗡嘛呢唄咪吽。

http://www.dalailamaworld.com/topic.php?t=187
如經所云:
遠離諸實物,蘊界以及處,色與執等滅;
法及我無等,自心從無始,空之體性成。

【釋菩提心論 Pūrvabhāvanākrama (Guang Shi Putixin Lun) 】是解釋【密集金剛Guhyasamâja vajra】的論典,內中也有一句「遠離諸實物」。

釋序分為四法:依意而釋,依共而釋,依隱而釋,究竟解釋。
這在月稱菩薩【密集金剛】的釋論【明炬釋】中有這幾句話。
龍樹菩薩在本論是依共解釋,將顯教密教共同承許的基礎作解釋,就是共同承許的中觀正見為基礎。

「空之體性成」,除了解釋空性以外,配合密續解釋,是依具生原始光明心性;就是遠離了一切妄念,現証空性的勝義光明。

龍樹菩薩在此以勝義菩提心(Surpass all meaning Boddhicitta) 及
世俗菩提心 (Mortal world boddhicitta) 二者解釋;
世俗菩提心的解釋如下: 
如覺悟薄伽凡及諸大菩薩等發大菩提心,我今亦為諸眾生等:未離令遠離、未脫令解脫、未息得歇息、未涅槃證涅槃故,從今起乃至無上菩提前,定發菩提心。
現行密咒門之眾菩薩由此世俗相故,發起世俗菩提願心者後,觀修勝義菩提心力令生起。今說此性:

本論按次第是先說勝義菩提心,再說世俗菩提心,將在下面廣釋部分就可以了知。
這種次第主要是針對利根者,因為勝義菩提心,是解釋現証空性的智慧,所以空性為先,菩提心在後;如果以上根者的生起次第,是先有空正見,其次菩提心,這是大乘不共根器。
當然大乘所度化眾生,不一定都是上根者,但是屬於大乘不共的所度眾生,一定是上根者。
龍樹菩薩不但是上根者,而且是上上根者,最頂尖的大乘聖者,以他習慣方式著作這部論典,所以安排的次第先說空正見,後說菩提心。
如果是中根者或下根者,通常是佛說什麼,他們立刻接受;如說修菩提心很好,你們必須觀修,他們立刻尋求菩提心法門,沒有任何疑惑,完全接受修行。

可是上根者,先觀察佛說的菩提心,如何修?可行嗎?無上菩提可以証得嗎?為利一切有情可以成辦正遍知嗎?一連串問題,經過仔細觀察之後,真正獲得知見,讓自己心滿意足時,才會真正去修行;爾時心念堅信不移,對修菩提心勝解,深信不動搖如須彌山,這是上根者的修行方式。因此以上根者的根器,先說空正見,其次說菩提心,這是大乘不共的度化眾生而說。如果以西藏所著作的【修心七義】來說,修心前先了知空正見,勝義菩提心,再修學世俗菩提心,有此說法;但在【修心日光】(解釋修心七義的論典)中,先說世俗菩提心,再說勝義菩提心。有此二種不同次第,這是我們必須先要了解的。

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

I added an extract that explains the mortal's mindset of boddhicitta and the "divine" mindset of boddhicitta. 
The Surpass all meaning boddhicitta is the "divine" or [void all] boddhicitta.

Someone plead to me to save her spouse, and this is what she said: He is a good man, he sponsors under privileged children's education with USD 500. 
I want him to live longer.
[The USD 500 turns out to be a ONE TIME Donation only!]

I said: If he promised to do charitable work after  I "prolonged" his life, I will do my best to help.

This person recovered from terminal stage cancer with 3 months.
BUT! He only went to a homeless shelter ONCE, and idle around, while his spouse and kid do the chores.
He spent his [extended time] enjoying life by vacationing all over the world!

The relapse came swiftly after 2 years!
He passed away from recurrences and massive secondaries!
He asked for 10 years and I said if he do good to benefit more people, he will have 20 years or more.

He didn't keep his promise to execute boddhicitta! 
When the relapse occurred, I really can't do anything further.
I advised him to go seek out GM Lu in Seattle or Taiwan though, but he didn't do so.

Dear all, its an uphill task to negotiate with Karmic foes on behalf of those that are already into Terminal illnesses!
I suggest that you go seek out GM Lu and also Do good for all beings to save yourself!

Do not accuse me of not having compassion to empathize with you, if you don't abide the vows you made!

AND, you are the one that eventually has to "Succour" self as per your own choice!
I also learned not to help anyone repeatedly when they are not willing to help themselves!

丢掉[自我]Throw Away Self/Ego


Terjemahan Indonesia: Buanglah Ego-mu


All the above photos were screen shots of Saturday's Kalachakra event in Taiwan.

GM Lu said to "Throw away Self/Ego" (自我)!

Only by doing so then you can be successful with Maha Perfection Dharma's cultivation!

Case 1 - A reverend was agitating over giving gongyang to GM Lu after lunch at Caotun Temple.
She finally mustered courage to do so!
Upon her return, she told us that she told GM Lu that she is from UK.
I said that she really don't need to say that she is from UK, as GM Lu knows all.
Her answer was abrupt and rude: I like!
Hahaha! She meant that she wants to do so, so what, and who can stop her! 

Case 2 - In Caotun temple, VM LN came at me, attempting to subdue me. :)
Part of what he said, in a threatening manner : 
你对我有意见?You have something against me? 

Case 3 - In Caotun temple, VM LY kept tucking my sleeve to force me to listen to her lecture about what I shouldn't do and about TBS this and that.
When I asked her "What does TBS means to you?", she ignored me.
For about 40 minutes, she kept on and on about what I can't do but she can!

AH! GM Lu said TBS also don't exist in his most recent speech on Saturday!

Case 4 - In Seattle Rainbow temple, VM LW & LH, came and lecture me.
VM LW said that I cannot wear TBS' design lama clothing!
And I must adhere to their dictates to get my name back onto the reverend's list! 

Well, there are more such interesting mortals that attempt to Lord it over others and misleading others about Buddha Dharma!

When YOU really throw away Self/Ego, you will really behave very very differently and then you can really be Fully Enlightened and practice or perform accordingly too! :)

Don't do anything that Your Root Guru won't ever do! 

Making a fool of yourself is nothing compared to digging your grave deeper and deeper into Vajra Hell! 


Cheers all.

Self Encapsulation 把自己封在胶囊里!


Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengungkungi Diri Sendiri!


GM Lu said that those who left, not because [Dharma no good]!

Hahaha!

The problem is the common virus of Fixation and the Poisons!

Fame, titles, power to control, power to dictate,.......

Now, in recent article, I shared that a student was told that as he has cultivated the 4 preliminaries for quite some time, he can "ADVANCE" to Guru Yoga!

This poor student fell for this piece of advice, because the adviser has title of VM and always stresses that he is the most senior student of GM Lu!

That means "external appearances"! :)

So the student elevated himself to Advance Student and attempted to teach others what he thinks is the "Way to Go"!

He has Encapsulated himself into the "Advance Student" capsule and locked tight therein!

Yes! He hinders himself!

Many looked up to him and when he suggested that they cultivate "Smoke offering" instead of 4 Preliminaries, most agreed!

I advised them against doing so, and of course most weren't happy.

The problem with this student are many and varied!
He likes to ask those that can see, what they saw and attempted to use these sightings to "Build on them", and thinking that he will also have his own!

He did up a version of visualisation for High King Sutra after I shared with them in a group session.
However, he failed to grasp the keys and I cautioned him against sharing his version with anyone, because he will be misleading others with the wrong version.

He also likes to Wenshi! :)

Another student, one that has taken refuge with GM Lu for more than 10 years.
He also acted out the very Advance Student thingy!

He thinks we should all cultivate to cleanse self before we can do so for others!
With Maha Perfection Dharma being shared by GM Lu todate, can you pinpoint his problem and help him? :)

Alternatively, I shared the solution in my compilation of the 4 preliminaries practice, published in this blogspot!

Who teach you that you need to cleanse Self before you can help others?
Hehe!

There is a question of How Much Faith and Trust you have on your Root Guru, being a Living Buddha!

Hahaha!

Think:
"You tell yourself, I am a fashi/master/advance student, so I must be like these!"

"I have spent so many years more than others, cultivating what GM Lu taught, so I must know more than those newbies or less senior in years!"

Hahaha!

Little do you all know that all these are self created hindrances that prevent you from Breaking through and Breaking free, the ultimate in Maha mudra and Maha Perfection!

Yes! GM Lu is right!
The Fault does not lie with Dharma being no good!

BUT, sentient minds and their own fabrications!

You used "Lock-tight" , a super glue on yourself!

You don't like me saying that you have not understood GM Lu's teachings!

For those that cultivated with me and I spent much time explaining basics to you, you didn't pay due attention and didn't bother to ask when not clear!

For those that didn't cultivate with me, but followed others' orders to hit at me, you too locked yourselves away by your own choice!

O! I am selfish for not sharing?

NO!
Its your fault for not showing the relevant sincerity to learn and build foundation!

Without sighting of any Foundation in you, I will not give you any special or personal directives!

AND, locking yourself is Fine, but do not attempt to lock others, especially me!

Like GM Lu said, I do not owe you and you also don't owe me, No need to listen to me.
And likewise, I do not need to waste time on you too!

I believe that if you have the relevant affinity with Buddha, you will be shown the WAY!

I also believe that I would rather spend my time writing and sharing online, so everyone can access these all the time.

I really don't want to spend time explaining your personal problems or short comings to you!

AND, I do not need to be popular or build a reputation to attract followers!

As you locked yourself away, then only you can unlock yourself!


Cheers all.

华山论剑 Swords Competition in Hua Shan


Terjemahan Indonesia: Pertandingan Pedang di Hua Shan


From the above: The 4 Qualities of Consideration.

勇 - Bravery
智 - Wisdom
敏 - Agility 
仁 - Humane 

Quoted from 华山论剑 (成语典故):

华山论剑出自金庸先生的武侠小说《射雕英雄传》。
A scenario, Swords competition in Hua Shan from Sword-fighting novel <Condors Heroes> by Mr. Jin Yong.

原意是华山比武,引申为公开的比试或学术争鸣。
Originally means kung-fu competition held in Hua Shan, its an open to all to match skills or knowledge to compete for recognition.

①比试各方都是高手
All competitors from each place are experts in their field

②公正较量,不耍阴谋。
Compete fairly, without dark or evil plotting.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

The above is a topic for my new assignment! 

TBS has her own <真佛论剑 True Buddha Swords Competition>, which GM Lu instructed early this morning to study as my "homework"! 

The instructions: 华山论剑 ~ 真佛论剑.

Articles can be found in 真佛論劍.

Therefore, after the Zen Koan Series, I will start sharing GM Lu's articles listed under the TB swords competition series. 

Now, please bear in mind that only the topmost were allowed to participate in the Swords Competition.

The Criteria for True Buddha Swords Competition?
Buddha Dharma; Wisdom and Humane or Boddhicitta!

Now, it might be good to look at the [ilovegm] forum again, as well as those perceived as their opponents or defamators!

One must always have MORE THAN ONE VIEWPOINT!

Maha Mudra - Maha Perfection - Zen - One armed with adequate ammunitions from all these can then qualify as a participant!

Also bear in mind that in Buddhism, No dispute - thus the word competition or match or debate..... should be perceived with the 8-fold noble paths! 

Hahaha!

Pure Karma put up a notice to all that formed Groups in Facebook attempting to match skills in Buddha Dharma to please refrain from tagging or sharing or involving Pure Karma or Lotuschef, in any of their battles!

Link as follows: Notification on Facebook Group Invitations

The other ones like one from TBS' admin named: The Enlightened Buddha, is also another of such depicting "Sentient Squabbles in Sentient Mud-pool"!

A frog in a very very deep well! 
What vision!!! :)

If you do not want to join this frog in the very very deep well, please wake up now and put in due diligence to study & cultivate authentic Buddha Dharma!

I am not showing Dualism by saying Authentic and Fake though! 

Hahaha!

Stay tuned!


Cheers all.

任运-用 Execute at Will – USE [1]




In 2009 May, months before my first trip to Seattle and being ordained.

In a discussion of doing "Live Animal Release"practice:
I suggested that if we can't find a venue off shore then we do by the shore AND
using the Dorje to draw a HOM syllable in the sky and beam light to bless all Land, Sea & Air creatures.

Reverend LL said: I cannot do that, too ridiculous and Core will kill me! 
[太炫了!宗委会会杀死我!]- he means ridiculous here

Hahaha!

Dear all,
With the sharing of Maha Mudra and Maha Perfection Dharma by GM Lu, I am sure that most of you can now understand that what I suggested to the then reverend LL is what GM Lu taught as Execute at Will 任运!

When a fellow student compared me to a VM who went around a lake for more than 4 hours, ringing the bell and using the dorje to bless creatures in the lake, I told him that this VM has no inkling of Tantrayana at all!

WHY?
The same application or USE of the Dorje to light up a HOM syllable to shine on Land Sea Air will get all creatures blessed and cleanse too!
As I have stated, less than 30 seconds!

Ringing the Vajra Bell helps to spread the light or blessing further too, covering the whole global earth if One so please! :)

Does being a reverend change One's abilities?
Frankly speaking: Not really!

Does reverend LL knows how to go about USING the HOM syllable that I shared with him?

Hahaha!
He don't know what I am sharing is Maha Mudra & Maha Perfection Dharma!

Of course, the mechanics of how to draw a HOM in the sky and light it up is something that One must have the keys to!

I shared a similar method during the Medan event this August 15!

Now, look through this blog's articles carefully and see how many other methods I shared in [USE]!

If GM Lu can, then you can too!

Hahaha!

Requirement: Your sincerity and diligence in Cultivation for the benefit of all beings!

That's all!

Methods abound and is immeasurable too!

Find the Keys!


Cheers all.

出世为王 Born to be King


Terjemahan Indonesia: Terlahir Untuk Menjadi Raja


Prophesies and Childhood


Both Buddha Shakyamuni and Guru Rinpoche prophesied Tsongkhapa’s birth and attainments.

At the time of Buddha Shakyamuni, a young boy who was a previous incarnation of Tsongkhapa presented a crystal rosary to Buddha and received a conch shell in return.

Buddha prophesied Manjushri would be born as a boy in Tibet, would found Ganden monastery, and would present a crown to my statue.

Buddha gave the boy the future name Sumati-kirti (Blo-bzang grags-pa, Lozang-dragpa).

Guru Rinpoche also prophesied a monk named Lozang-dragpa would be born near China, would be regarded as an emanation of a great bodhisattva, and would make a Buddha-statue into a Sambhogakaya representation.

Several indications before Tsongkhapa’s birth also indicated that he would be a great being.

His parents, for example, had many auspicious dreams that their child would be an emanation of Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, and Vajrapani.

His future teacher, Chojey Dondrub-rinchen (Chos-rje Don-grub rin-chen), was told by Yamantaka in a vision that he (Yamantaka) would come to Amdo (A-mdo, northeastern Tibet) in a certain year and become his disciple.

Tsongkhapa was born in Tsongkha (Tsong-kha), Amdo, in 1357, the fourth of six sons.

The day after Tsongkhapa’s birth, Chojey Dondrub-rinchen sent his main disciple to the parents with gifts, a statue, and a letter.

A sandlewood tree grew from the spot where his umbilical cord fell to the ground.

Each leaf had a natural picture of the Buddha Sinhanada (Sangs-rgyas Seng-ge sgra), and was thus called Kumbum (sKu-‘bum), a hundred thousand body images.

The Gelug monastery called Kumbum was later built on that spot.
 
~~~~~~~~~~ 

Tsongkhapa, Atisha, 6th Zen Patriarch Hui Neng, .... are previous lifetime of GM Lu.

Cultivation's attainment is something that One can accumulate & bring forward to One's next life!

The sentient ruler of a certain country or piece of land, is subjected to Impermanence. That is this ruler has a short lease or control only.

In GM Lu's speech during the Autumn event in Seattle, He said that name/fame; wealth; .... are Hindrances to yoga.
He said there are VMs that are greedy of fame and money.
He also said that the 5 Buddha crowns atop the VMs' head, means GM Lu empowered the 5 Buddhas to sit on these heads!
His meaning? 
Obvious that most with these crowns do not know the significance!

Hahaha! 
As predicted: The 5 Buddha Crowns Craving of most sentient minds, can be appeased by Physical Form of these crowns as Head-dress and to these sentient minds, they denote the License to seize others' wealth and enslaving them! 

As I have stated: These crowns became a commodity "traded" when GM Lu's hand was "directed" to give them out as per recommendation by sentient minded students!

Evidenced by GM Lu's statements like:
Most of these VMs sitting beside me, have yet to yoga with me!


Sakyamuni Buddha stated that Above & Below the Sky, He reigns Supreme!

A Buddha still maintain this Reign in various forms or kayas, but a sentient ruler or king lost everything upon death or being overthrown....


GM Lu questioned the newly ordained at the Autumn event AND despite HIS sharing of Maha Perfection Dharma to date, the answers were far from enlightening!

Dear all,
please pay due attention and diligence to what GM Lu shares and practice accordingly, IF You want to be Free from repeated transmigration within the 6 realms and most important, prevent Self from going through countless cycles in the 3 Lower realms!

A student texted me and asked: Fashi, why you didn't come to Seattle's Autumn Event?

Hahaha!

Remember the story that I shared in this blog recently?
A thought from a sincere Mind/Heart resulted in Buddha telling the one that physically went to greet him and welcome him home that She is not the First to do so!

GM Lu also said that the Invisible are more worthy!

Hahaha! 

No Forms!

Dear all, with your Dharma knowledge learned, try and help the newly ordained in replies to GM Lu's "为何出家?" (Why be ordained?)

Have Fun!

法界的理念 Meaning of Dharmadhatu




Referring to the recorded sermon:

Chat:

This morning's speech is real fantastic lol!
:)
[1] 身外化身 -the projection of astral body out of One's physical body!
& as many as possible to fill the space or for the tasks needed!

~~~~~~~~~~

You can get a pretty clear idea of the Meaning of Dharmadhatu or its characteristics if you have spent time on Avatamsaka or Flower Adornment Sutra 华严经, and truly try your best to understand this wondrous sutra! :)


[2] 双本尊同修 -Cultivation with 2 yidams.

Listen attentively and pick up the details please.

Also there are many pointers to help you cultivate well. :)

Remember though: You must do it on your own!

NOW: Don't need to allege that Pure Karma or Lotuschef lying and teaching you stuff that are "False"!

Hehe! 

YES! you can merge 2 yidams and even more, at will and at ease 任运自如!

Just bear in mind that Lotuschef shares personal experiences and not fabricating any falsehood pertaining to Cultivation.

Lies and false allegations are those from Ignorants, as pointed out by GM Lu in the same speech too! 


Cheers all.

Mindset: It's the Thought that Counts!




Referring to the recorded sermon:

Yidam for session: Ksitigarbha Boddhisattva

In this speech, GM Lu shares many concepts.

Lets explore one of it! :)

Now draw your memory back to the incident whereby GM Lu wanted to save a big fish by buying it.
However, the price asked was too high and GM Lu has no choice but to give up.

His thoughts were on his failure to save the fish hence.
But Jin-mu explained to him that he has indeed saved the fish!
It's His thoughts that counts!
 

Subhūti (Pali: सुभूति; Chinese: 须菩提; pinyin: Xūpútí) was one of the Ten Great Śrāvakas of Śākyamuni Buddha, and foremost in the understanding of emptiness.

In Prakrit and Pali, his name literally means "Good Existence" (su: "good", bhūti: "existence"). 

He is also sometimes referred to as or "Elder Subhūti" (Sthavira Subhūti). He was a contemporary of such famous arhats as Śāriputra,Mahākāśyapa, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, Mahākātyāyana, and Ānanda.

~~~~~~~~~~

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!

Understanding of emptiness?

Do you?

Now, draw back on the assignment on "TIME".

The topic: 
In Cultivation, When is Time the Essence?

In Cultivation, When is Time NOT the Essence?

If you have the RIGHT Mindset and knowledge, these questions are No Hindrance to you at all, concur?

With Maha Perfection Dharma that GM Lu shared to date, think you can make a better approach to this assignment now?

Cheers all.

發財符 Get Rich Talisman


Terjemahan Indonesia: Fu untuk Mendapatkan Harta Kekayaan

Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 247_蓮生符 Lian Sheng's Talisman > 發財符
Selective Translation by Lotuschef.



昔日,經過商家,看見店家門口,很多家都貼有一符,此符是印刷品,紅色的紙,黑色的字,非常工整,也即是日日見財。
符式是 (見圖右)
[A common talisman pasted on shops' doors are printed with black ink on red-colored paper. It is very neat and tidy and means (See Wealth every day).
Shown on the right of above picture.]

這符一看,就知道是把日日見財,四個字組合成一個字,是字,也是符。
但大家要知道,印刷品的符,如同用唱片唸佛,有符無心,有聲無心,這種印刷品的符,不具任何效力。
除非請來大法師,以法力加持,這種印刷品的符才有效果。
[These talismans lack effectiveness as they are printed products and unless the services of a big master is used to bless them, they have no effect at all.]

畫符,有一句話說的好:
「若知畫符妙,惹得鬼神驚;不知畫符妙,惹得鬼神笑。」
Talisman drawing has a good saying:
[If know uniqueness of talisman drawing, incite fear in spirits and deities;
If don't know the uniqueness of talisman drawing, incite spirits and deities to laugh or jeer.]

畫符在於一心。
Talisman drawing is dependent upon One's heart.

神心。
Divine heart.

畫符者的心。
Talisman drawer's heart.

求符者的心。
Talisman Requester's heart.

(這三心合一心,符才會靈)
(Combination of 3 hearts as one, then talisman will be effective)

有一弟子說:
「請盧師尊畫一符,我拿去印刷,再請師尊加持,然後分派給左鄰右舍。」

我說:
「左鄰右舍,如果無心請符,而硬給一符,這符是沒有效的。」
I said: left and right neighbors, if not sincere in requesting talisman, and forcefully give them one, this talisman has no effect.

所以:
求符的人。
畫符的人。
過往的神明。
這都是靈驗的要素,缺一不可。
Therefore, talisman requester, talisman drawer, deities in passing presence, are the essence of talisman's effectiveness, can't miss any one.

所謂過往的神明,也就是畫符者請來的神明,祂有沒有,下降佈光?
有則善也。
無則不驗。
如此而己!

我有一符:(見圖左)
I have one talisman ( see left side of picture shown above)

咒曰:Chant mantra as:
「拜請蓮生活佛,大福金剛大無比,威靈顯十方,主宰人間增福事,運來東南西北一切財。
Requesting presence of Living Buddha Lian Sheng, Invincible Great Auspicious Vajra, Prowess spread over 10 directions, in charge of auspicious enhancement matters in human realm, transporting in all wealth from East South West North.

日日財,月月財,年年財,五路五方財,有財來,無財去,急急如律令。
Daily wealth, Monthly wealth, Yearly wealth, 5 routes 5 directions wealth, have wealth come, no wealth leave, execute immediately.」

此符燒金紙時,符可一起燒化。
佩身亦可。
This talisman can burn with incense paper or wear upon self.

這道符,非常的祕密,我平時不隨便給予,因為須要觀察求符者:
是善人。
有善光。
帶天福。
帶財祿。

由於一時困頓,我才給此符,開啟了天上的寶庫,賜福給這個人。

偈曰:Verse:
蓮生賜財來。
Lian Sheng bestows wealth.

善人增光彩。
Good people increase bright colourful shine.

行善兼佈施。
Doing good deeds and Dana.
[Dana - The practice of generosity or charity: One of the Paramitas as well as one of the All Embracing Virtues, where it means, in the latter, giving others what they want just to lead them towards the truth.]

佛法存心懷。
Buddha Dharma stored within one's heart or breast.

~~~~~~~~

Dear all,
Try and bear in mind GM Lu's verse at the end of the above article.

Think: Do you need any talisman to enhance your wealth? 

Hahaha!

If you are following the path through Maha Perfection, don't walk backwards to Mindset of Possession of Sentient Forms!

Break Through and Break Free, please!


Cheers all.

Sharing: Guru as the guiding light 分享:师父是引导之光




Sharing from: Isha – Guru Paduka Stotram

I chanced upon this page and this is quite enlightening on how he describes Guru as the guiding light.

And it fits the context when referred to the "I can see GM close-up" article.
[ I Can See GM Close-up! 我能近距离看师尊!]

It is true then with the self-effort and seeking from within, we all can be the guiding light itself.

I guess you might have dry lips from repeating this again and again to all people :D

Cheers.

~~~


Sadhguru: If grace is not available to you or you are not available to grace, it does not matter how much money you have, how much wealth you have, whatever nonsense you have, you will not live a beautiful life. 
A Guru’s grace is not some airy thing that you imagine. 
It is a very physical presence. 
It’s as physical as the breeze that you feel. 
It’s as physical as the sunlight.


What you refer to as the Guru is just a certain energy, a certain possibility. 
It is not the person. 
A certain person has only become a representative of that energy and that space. 
If you have to see, it is light that you need, not the light bulb. 
But right now that particular light bulb happens to be the source of light. 
So you tend to think “I cannot exist without the light bulb.” 

On one level it is true. 
But the nature of the Guru is not limited to time and space. 
So it is not because you sit next to the light bulb you get the maximum light. 
You could be a thousand miles away and you may receive more grace than the person who is right now sitting next to that person.


Success will not come to you without grace. 
Somehow, one way or the other you have to learn to be receptive to grace. 

Just your mental state may make you receptive, 
the way you keep your body may make you receptive, 
the way you keep your emotions may make you receptive or you have more complex methods, 
you understand the mechanics of how it works and you become receptive. 

But without grace there will be no success. 
You maybe brilliant but still you will be a failure. 
You may be immensely capable still you will be a failure.


But a moment of grace, and suddenly you will see everything will be successful. 

For you to be peaceful, for you to be happy, you can do it from within. 

If you know how to keep your body and your mind, you can do these things. 
But being successful in what you’re doing will not happen without grace. 
Without the lubricant of grace your machine will not go too far. 
Everything will be an uphill task in your life. 

Most human beings do this to themselves because they are so full of themselves. 
They will not become available to grace. 

Everything in their life is hard work – 
education is hard work, 
going to work is hard work, 
marriage is one big hard work. 

But if you become very receptive to grace, you find everything is effortless because you are now a well-lubricated being.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Read also the next article: Brahmananda Swarupa

“Brahmananda Swarupa” is a chant consecrated by Sadhguru to invoke stillness in all those who make it a part of their lives. 

The chant is available as part of the Vairagya album and can be downloaded for free. 
It is also available as part of the Isha Chants app for Android.


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

Dear all, 
If you can grasp most of the contents from above articles, the similarities that GM Lu has shared for Higher Tantra; Mahamudra & Maha Perfection & most identical to Zen ideology too! :)

WHY?

The Universal Secret is One & One Only!
No matter how you choose to explain or describe the Universal and One's own Buddha Nature, they are One & the same too!

Light is your answer too, if you have been attentive all along to what GM Lu shares and some of my sharing too! :)

I remember sharing that we are all "Light Bodies" and when we merge together, there is no way to differentiate Each Individual's Light Body!

To many, the Zen ideology means "some crazy statements from some crazy person"!

Hahaha!

AND a True Guru shares widely and freely without demanding that you pay for his sharing too!
Sadhguru and GM Lu have lots in common in that they freely share Universal Secrets with All and those that have the relevant affinity will become Enlightened faster.
That's all! 
For we are all Equal in that we all have Buddha Nature!

That's the True Difference between An Enlightened One and a Sentient Being! :)

Likewise all materials shared in this blog is Free and those with Affinity get to Full or True Realisation ahead only, but all will eventually reach the "other shore" as well!

Your due diligence in cultivation determine the speed you arrive at the "other shore", not anyone else's efforts!

We give thanks to those that share "universal secrets" with all, in order to benefit all!

Use all True Sharing with Wisdom!

The Chinese has a saying that goes like this:
Water can push/move (advance) a boat, it can also topple or overturn (hinder) a boat.


Cheers all.

融入大自然 Merging into Mother Nature


Terjemahan Indonesia: Melebur dengan Ibu Pertiwi


I remember sharing techniques of Merging into Water, about 2 years ago in a resort at Lake Toba.

What are the main points or key factors to cultivate Merging into water or any part of Mother Nature?

For Water:
  1. Need to feel the water against One's skin surfaces
  2. Immerse self into water while holding one's breath.
  3. Empty thoughts & Meditate

GM wrote about Merging into Lakes and Mountains too.
Also merging with the Sun & Moon, which I had also share some pointers. :)

Go do some research of GM's methods please.

If you have Affinity with Me, I might share some of the key factors with you too!

However, A Good & Sound Foundation of 4 preliminaries and Guru Yoga is required!

The point to learn is Be Natural, a crucial Key to Maha Mudra and Maha Perfection!


Cheers all.
