Fear Factor 恐慌因数

Terjemahan Bahasa: Faktor Penyebab Rasa Takut 恐慌因数

[15:48, 3/24/2019] AA: Fashi, what insence paper can fold lontong?
this too big haha

BB: Then buy the smaller version ah 😄
AA: Hahaha
BB: https://www.xxx..............

lotuschef: AA, offering is up to you. I don't provide any alternatives. u go look around the shops on your own ba.
: TBS don't have these gold n silver laminates anyway
: your problem is FEAR whether don't use these CAN OR NOT!
: not Big n Small issues!

AA: Okay fashi 🙏🏻

lotuschef: If you not sure of your offering being received, then you DOUBT what GM taught us ~ sincere n wholehearted offering mindset

:understand then "OKAY FASHI"! don't bluff yourself that you truly know what I am telling you

: bcos this is very like the questions you asked me before too! ~ Like ... can or not?

: what is "too big"? in most people's mind, isn't the bigger the better? also bigger has more gold or silver laminates ~ means you can afford to give more, isn't that what most people think? AND, there are even bigger sheets with more gold n silver or whole sheet of gold n silver.....

: for a buddha's student - one must understand fully what one is doing all the time n throw away what MOST PPL said

: I offered attendees to do Purification ~ CC said he practiced many times already, so let BB do!

: I asked CC - are you sure you can do the purification successfully? He think for a while and answer YES!

: I told him the TRUTH is before One can master the 9 cycles breathing technique to move Qi energy or Light at will to destination, what One actually does is practicing the sequence or procedure BUT can't really do the Purification successfully

so giving anyone a chance to practice the required steps is actually preparing the student with the basic steps only.

same as leading cultivation. if you don't know your way from start to finish, then you won't be able to ever achieve Yoga.

I advise you all to go listen to GM's recent speeches. Ksiti also needs to learn basics of Mahayana n he has been doing so from Lian Hai for the past 5 years.

GM is also looking for someone to teach him Cultivation of Tantric dharma and GM said Ksiti needs to have Fashi training as well.
so even buddha's reincarnation needs to start from the basics

DD: 🙏😀

lotuschef: Truth is: the tub of offering I taught you to offer to your akong every 7th day, its the Talisman that helps you deliver the offering successfully. AND I said you can use the talisman for 7 times.

if you use more than 7 times without my permission, then it won't work liao.

I am responsible for what I issue. and the talisman is an Order for dharmapalas to carry out
when one achieve guru yoga and received abhiseka for the 5 great achievement dharma written in the talisman, then the talisman will work.

: 5 Great Achievement Practices

: 5 Great Achievement Practices [2]

: GM gives the 5 great achievement dharma abhiseka normally during the white padmakumara's homa before he goes back to seattle, to celebrate his birthday

: Shizun on Balancing Light 师尊讲调和5色光

Excerpt of Heart Sutra ~

Fear is a Great Hindrance to most cultivators!

Why this Fear? 

You are unsure or not confident that what you do or say will be RIGHT or not.

Also you Fear repercussions from you deeds!

AH! Fear is actually a Good Guru!

With Fear of doing Wrong, you slowly learn and practice the 8-fold noble path, especially that of Mindfulness!

But do bear in Mind Buddha's basics like Control your own destiny; Leaving suffering to attain Happiness; All beings are Equal;.......

Buddha dharma is about figuring out on your very own how to proceed to Nirvana, so you are also responsible to find your own alternatives or methods to achieve Nirvana. 

I do not believe in sheltering or spoon-feeding anyone to the extend that they do not use their own efforts to practice Buddha Dharma.

Yes! Most don't like me because my methods means I do not carry out their orders to please or fulfill their earthly whims & fancies!

Well? 

Do Wake Up!

基本法 ~ 一片漆黑 Basic Practice ~ A Spread of Darkness

Terjemahan Bahasa: Praktik Mendasar ~ Sehampar Kegelapan

This was GM Lu yesterday at the Hd LZS event!

CHAT: 
[--- A: gosh! look at how tired GM looks!

B:ya hor
he always didn't feel good in the huangdi temple

A: i also didn't feel good there! the energy inside the temple is real bad, cos they partitioned the sides where the light n wind can come into the main hall!
just went once n thats enough for me ---]

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

Sometime in 2009, before my ordination, a local dharma speaker (blue collar) organised a Meditation Session at a local chapter.

He said Samadhi should be "一片漆黑 ~ A Spread of Darkness"!

This student has "no shine" and also obvious hair loss before 40 years of age!

Dear all,

The First Stage of Samadhi is "Feeling Joyful"! 

法喜充满~Filled with Dharma Joy!

Yes! You should feel great Joy and lightness & brightness when you achieved the First Stage of Samadhi!

Remember that I was instructed by GM to teach a fellow reverend (Refuge with Gm for more than 20years and ordained for 19 years) basic dharma cultivation, that is Vajrasattva Practice!

Most people really don't have any Basics despite claiming to cultivate daily or frequently for years!

The named successor walked away from me saying loudly: You are very high!

Hahaha!

When I was in Seattle, I noticed that he does Homa almost daily, either around noon or at night!

So he is diligent in cultivation of Tantric dharma as taught by GM?

GM said that each Successful Cultivation Session must include Samadhi!

AND, 

In Melbourne ~ when doing Homa, your Root Guru, Principle Yidam and Principle Dharmapala MUST be present, else you will be in Great Danger!

One Important Fact that XX's incident brought to light is that most don't cultivate with sincere diligence with GM's Guidances!

Hahaha!

The Mindset is all wrong!

Most of you think that I am crazy for asking you certain questions, like ~

Why do you decide to cultivate?

What do you think TBS can do for you?

What can you do for TBS?

What is TBS to you?

Who is the Root Guru you have chosen?

Do you know what you are doing every step of the way in cultivation?

Many alleged that I TALK BAD about VMs!

Why don't you look at it from another viewpoint?

I am actually "Pointing Out" to you to wake up and take control of your own destiny only! :)

Instead of heeding my advice, you hurled missiles at me like slandering, defaming, denouncing.....

Who don't really know Buddha Dharma?

You or Me?

Mindfulness! 

An item of the 8-fold noble path from the 4 Noble Truths!

If you are serious in cultivation of Buddha Dharma, have a mind of your very own please!

With Metta,

Pemusatan Perhatian – Perenungan Atas Wujud [1]

Sutra Kayagata-sati: Pemusatan Perhatian di dalam Tubuh
Diterjemahkan dari Bahasa Pali oleh Bhiksu Thanissaro
Sumber: MN 119 PTS: M iii 88 | Kayagata-sati Sutta: Mindfulness Immersed in the Body


Ekstrak:
“Lebih lanjut lagi, bhiksu merenungi tubuhnya sendiri mulai dari telapak kaki ke atas, dari ujung kepala ke bawah, semuanya dibungkus oleh kulit dan penuh dengan berbagai macam hal yang kotor:
‘Di tubuh ini terdapat rambut kepala, rambut di badan, kuku, gigi, kulit, daging, otot, tulang, sumsum, ginjal, jantung, hati, selaput paru-paru, limpa, usus besar, usus kecil, esofagus (kerongkongan), feses, empedu, lendir dahak, nanah, keringat, lemak, air mata, minyak kulit, ludah, ingus, cairan di persendian, air kencing.’

Bagaikan sebuah karung dengan dua bukaan di ujungnya yang penuh dengan bermacam-macam biji-bijian – gandum, beras, kacang hijau, kacang merah, biji wijen, beras yang telah dikupas –
Dan seorang pria dengan penglihatan yang baik, saat menuangkannya, ia akan merenungkan,
‘Ini gandum. Ini beras. Ini kacang hijau. Ini kacang merah. Ini biji wijen. Ini beras yang telah dikupas’;

Dengan cara yang sama, bhiksu merenungi tubuhnya sendiri dari telapak kaki ke atas, dari ujung kepala ke bawah, semuanya dibungkus oleh kulit dan penuh dengan berbagai macam hal yang kotor:
‘Di tubuh ini terdapat rambut kepala, rambut di badan, kuku, gigi, kulit, daging, otot, tulang, sumsum, ginjal, jantung, hati, selaput paru-paru, limpa, usus besar, usus kecil, esofagus (kerongkongan), feses, empedu, lendir dahak, nanah, keringat, lemak, air mata, minyak kulit, ludah, ingus, cairan di persendian, air kencing.’

Dan ia selalu peka, bersemangat dan tak ragu-ragu, segala ingatan dan keputusan mengenai kehidupan rumah tangga ditinggalkannya, dan dengan meninggalkannya maka pikirannya terfokuskan dan batinnya menjadi tenang, menyatu dan terpusat.

Demikianlah bagaimana seorang bhiksu mengembangkan pemusatan perhatiannya yang melebur ke dalam tubuhnya.

“Lebih lanjut lagi, bhiksu merenungi tubuhnya – tegak ataupun dalam posisi lain – dalam hubungannya dengan berbagai karakterisiknya:
‘Di dalam tubuh ini terdapat karakteristik tanah, karakteristik cairan, karakteristik api, dan karakteristik angin.’
** [Empat elemen utama 四大 – Tanah air api angin 地 水 火 风]

Seperti halnya seorang penjagal ataupun muridnya yang terampil, setelah menjagal seekor sapi, akan duduk di perempatan jalan sambil memotongnya menjadi bagian-bagian kecil, maka bhiksu merenungi tubuhnya – tegak ataupun dalam posisi lain – dalam hubungannya dengan berbagai karakterisiknya:
‘Di dalam tubuh ini terdapat karakteristik tanah, karakteristik cairan, karakteristik api, dan karakteristik angin.’

Dan ia selalu peka, bersemangat dan tak ragu-ragu, segala ingatan dan keputusan mengenai kehidupan rumah tangga ditinggalkannya, dan dengan meninggalkannya maka pikirannya terfokuskan dan batinnya menjadi tenang, menyatu dan terpusat.

Demikianlah bagaimana seorang bhiksu mengembangkan pemusatan perhatiannya yang melebur ke dalam tubuhnya.

“Lebih lanjut lagi, seperti saat ia melihat jasad yang dibuang di tanah pemakaman – telah mati selama satu hari, dua hari, tiga hari – mengembung, menjadi hitam kelabu dan mengeluarkan nanah, ia menerapkannya kepada tubuhnya sendiri, ‘Tubuh ini juga: Karena kodratnya yang seperti itu, masa mendatangnya juga akan seperti itu, dan tak bisa dihindari pula’…

“Atau sekali lagi, seperti saat ia melihat jasad yang dibuang di tanah pemakaman, mulai diambili oleh burung gagak, burung bangkai, elang, anjing, hyena, dan berbagai binatang lain… seonggok kerangka yang ternoda oleh daging dan darah, tersambungkan oleh otot-otot… seonggok kerangka tanpa daging yang ternoda oleh darah, tersambungkan oleh otot-otot… seonggok kerangka tanpa daging ataupun darah, tersambungkan oleh otot-otot… tulang-tulang yang terlepas dari otot-ototnya, berserakan di segala arah – di sana ada tulang tangan, di sana ada tulang kaki, di sana ada tulang kering, di sana ada tulang paha, di sana ada tulang pinggul, di sana ada tulang punggung, di sini tulang rusuk, di sana tulang dada, di sini tulang bahu, di sana tulang leher, di sini tulang rahang, di sana ada gigi, di sini sebuah tengkorak… tulang-tulang yang memutih, bagaikan warna kerang… bertumpukan selama lebih dari setahun lamanya… membusuk dan terurai menjadi serbuk: Ia menerapkan hal yang serupa kepada tubuhnya, ‘Tubuh ini juga: Karena kodratnya yang seperti itu, masa mendatangnya juga akan seperti itu, dan tak bisa dihindari pula.’

Dan ia selalu peka, bersemangat dan tak ragu-ragu, segala ingatan dan keputusan mengenai kehidupan rumah tangga ditinggalkannya, dan dengan meninggalkannya maka pikirannya terfokuskan dan batinnya menjadi tenang, menyatu dan terpusat.

Demikianlah bagaimana seorang bhiksu mengembangkan pemusatan perhatiannya yang melebur ke dalam tubuhnya.

Mindfulness – Contemplation of Form [1]

Terjemahan Indonesia: Pemusatan Perhatian – Perenungan Atas Wujud [1]

Kayagata-sati Sutta: Mindfulness Immersed in the Body
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu


Extract:

"Furthermore, 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.' 

Just as if a sack with openings at both ends were full of various kinds of grain — wheat, rice, mung beans, kidney beans, sesame seeds, husked rice — 

and a man with good eyesight, pouring it out, were to reflect, 

'This is wheat. This is rice. These are mung beans. These are kidney beans. These are sesame seeds. This is husked rice'; 

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.

"Furthermore, the monk contemplates this very body — however it stands, however it is disposed — in terms of properties: 

'In this body there is the earth property, the liquid property, the fire property, & the wind property.' 

**[The 4 great elements 四大 - earth water fire wind 地 水 火 风]

Just as a skilled butcher or his apprentice, having killed a cow, would sit at a crossroads cutting it up into pieces, the monk contemplates this very body — however it stands, however it is disposed — in terms of properties: 

'In this body there is the earth property, the liquid property, the fire property, & the wind property.' 

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.

"Furthermore, as if he were to see a corpse cast away in a charnel ground — one day, two days, three days dead — bloated, livid, & festering, he applies it to this very body, 'This body, too: Such is its nature, such is its future, such its unavoidable fate'...
 

"Or again, as if he were to see a corpse cast away in a charnel ground, picked at by crows, vultures, & hawks, by dogs, hyenas, & various other creatures... a skeleton smeared with flesh & blood, connected with tendons... a fleshless skeleton smeared with blood, connected with tendons... a skeleton without flesh or blood, connected with tendons... bones detached from their tendons, scattered in all directions — here a hand bone, there a foot bone, here a shin bone, there a thigh bone, here a hip bone, there a back bone, here a rib, there a breast bone, here a shoulder bone, there a neck bone, here a jaw bone, there a tooth, here a skull... the bones whitened, somewhat like the color of shells... piled up, more than a year old... decomposed into a powder: He applies it to this very body, 'This body, too: Such is its nature, such is its future, such its unavoidable fate.'

"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.
