If you listen attentively to Shizun, you should have gather enough data about his needs. :)
SZ said that in Seattle, he needs money to buy gas for his car.
In Taiwan he only need money to buy drinking water.
Simple, right?
SZ said his other needs of food and clothes all taken care of by students.
Excessive offering of Crowns & Robes to SZ, resulted in Storage requirement, agree?
SZ said that he has a few thousands robes in storage that he has yet to wear!
NOW, the interesting parts! :)
Core claimed that they need funds to silence paparazzi and also "oil their palms" to write good stuff about SZ.
Then Core did a large "Cash Call" for large amount of constant funds to initiate legal battles against those that they perceived as Defaming SZ!
VM Lian Wang even went to the extend to tell me in Seattle that SZ agreed to stand in Court to complain and point out those that defamed him!
Dear all, if you have been listening to SZ's speeches all along, and even the most recent ones on Maha Perfection, SZ himself did not perceive any defamation or abuses from ANYONE!
So VM LW has lied and "Measured" a Buddha by his own standards? :)
Lying is a major breach of 5 Precepts in Buddhism.
When One's mindset is ever greedy for more & insatiable, this person already into the Hungry Ghosts Realm, agree?
Now have a good look at SZ and those that are always beside him and "guarding" him to prevent those non-team members from getting near to SZ.
Greediness can be seen from One's eyes and facial presentation!
You only need to work hard at observation and gather data to be discerning.
What are the major factors?
Body & Speech manifestation that reveal his Mindset!
Wisdom of Discernment will give you abilities to Read Others' Minds!
Of course you need to have the essential fundamentals of Buddhism like the 4 Noble Truths!
Yes, there is a great difference between Greed & Needs!
If you see what was served to SZ every meal, you will understand that his needs are very simple and small.
He has a small bowl of unpolished rice and a plate with spoonfuls of different dishes like vegetables & meat,
a small bowl of soup, a cup of cool water with a splash of lemon juice, a slice of fruit or durian (one piece wrapped in plastic film).
That's why he said he really loss appetite with the sumptuous meals served to him for dinner entertainment which overflow into taking up his lunches too!
Being served 2 huge meals that tires him rather than make him happy, making too much demand from him for Personal Matters Consultation and Blessing!
It is very obvious that SZ's caregivers, only out to reap fellow students, using SZ's needs and subpoena all his time, resulting in tiring his physical body.
SZ said that Cultivation Depends On One's diligence & studious efforts, not from others at all!
In Maha Perfection Dharma, YOU are the only One that will need to purify yourself and cultivate to Buddha hood, all upon your own "Steam"!
Why don't you donate or sponsor charitable courses instead of paying huge sums to dine with SZ?
DO you know that when you do offering before partaking any meals, you are dining not only with SZ but all Divinities and also charitable sharing with all Beings of the 6 Realms?
Hahaha!
I remember that a VM told me in Seatlle's temple kitchen that SZ said things I cooked are very delicious and SZ said I should cook for him.
I did Purification of food and then offering, so SZ wanted to let me know he has received my offering and like what I am offering all these time. :)
SZ, a Living Buddha, do have these abilities!!
Your Key is to Believe and Trust SZ absolutely!
Remember that SZ said that if you are diligent in cultivation, you are just beside him all the time, whereas for those that are physically beside him but do not cultivate with diligence, they are very very far from his sides
The Distance between You & Your Root Guru, can only be determined by You and No One Else! :)
Thoughts of loosing out or being taken advantage of by others, should never enter a True Yogi's mind!
Cheers all.
