Source: 就是这样吗？

白隐慧鹤（Hakuin Ekaku,1685-1768或1686-1769），日本僧人 Japanese Monk、艺术 Artist 家和作家 Writer。人们通常尊称其为 “白隐禅师”。


白隐禅师素来受到邻里的称颂，大家都说他是位纯洁的圣者。
ZM Hakuin was praised by people of the neighbourhood, and they said he is a pure saint.

有一对夫妇，在他附近开了一家食品店，家里有个漂亮的女儿。
There was this couple who runs a food-stuff shop, and has a pretty daughter.

不料，有一天夫妇俩发现女儿的肚子无缘无故地大了起来。

However, one day the couple found that their daughter is pregnant without any reason.

这事使他们十分恼怒，便向女儿追问来由。

These made them very troubled, keep asking the daughter for explanation.

女儿起初不肯招认那人是谁，但经一再苦逼之后，她终于说出了白隐的名字。
At first the daughter refused to tell but after being pressured persistently, she finally gave the name of Hakuin.

她的父母怒不可遏，立刻去找白隐理论，但这位大师至始至终只有一句话：“就是这样吗？”
The parents were very angry, and immediately seek out Hakuin, but the reply was these words: Is it like this?

孩子生下后，夫妇俩把他送给了白隐。
When the child is born, the couple sent the child to Hakuin.

这时白隐名誉扫地，人人对他嗤之以鼻。

This ruined Hakuin's reputation, people sneered at him.

但他并不介意，只是非常细心地照顾孩子。

He was not bothered, only care for the child meticulously.

他四处行乞，为婴儿求取所需的奶水和生活用品。
He went around begging for the child's needs like milk and stuff for daily life.

一年之后，这位没有结婚的妈妈再也忍受不了内心的折磨，终于向父母吐露了真情，原来孩子的亲生父亲是一名青年。
After a year, the unmarried mother can't withstand the torture of her innermost heart, finally revealed the truth that the child's father is a youth.

女孩的父母立即将她带到白隐那里，向他道歉，请他原谅，并将孩子带了回去。
The parents immediately went to Hakuin to apologise and asked for forgiveness, and brought the child back with them.

白隐无话可说，他只在交回孩子的时候轻声问道：“就是这样吗？”

Hakuin has nothing to said, handed over the child and lightly asked: Is it like this?

~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

What did you learn from this story?

What did Hakuin practiced in the Dharma context?

The Truth will out eventually.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Remember 6th Zen Patriarch Hui-neng's : Not thinking of Good and not thinking of Evil?

Cheers all.

出世为王 Born to be King

Terjemahan Indonesia: Terlahir Untuk Menjadi Raja

Extract from A Short Biography of Tsongkhapa:

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!

傻瓜这么容易骗！Stupid, So Easy to Bluff!

Terjemahan Indonesia: Bodoh, Gampang Sekali Dibohongi!

Also read: Lotuschef on Interesting Encounters 巧遇

AA has the coolness & calmness to clear-mindedly Devised some lies to bluff or cheat others.

After being successful, he laugh silently, chiding the ones that he managed to bluff or cheat with labels like Fools & Stupid,....

Now armed with your knowledge of Buddha Dharma, lets have Fun!

Please look through the photos above too! 

A student asked: Fashi, you can see whether people xiu-fa (cultivate) or not?

Fashi: Hahaha! What do you think? :)

For those that have attended Pure Karma's events, you should know the answer and answer the student's question, right? 

Dear all, when you think your lies got through and you triumphantly feel Great, sorry to tell you that one lie leads to another and yet another and these lies sort of form a chain gradually tightening around you!

You have to churn lie after lie to fill the gaps or loopholes your lies created!

Like AA in the mentioned article, his smile or outward show of friendliness draws many, however, a close-up encounter is to your detriment!

His eyes can't lie like his speech! :)

YES! There is never a Perfect Lie that won't ever be exposed!                                                                                                                                  

Many think that you can lie to SZ too! 

Hahaha! 

SZ didn't expose you, for a reason. That is there is a Time when Your Karma Matures and you are solely responsible for all your deeds whether Good or Bad! 

SZ also stressed many times: Buddha can't succor those who Don't believe; Don't have Affinity; and High Karmic negatives. 

SZ promised to succour all without leaving out anyone.

This promise stands true as he can succour you in subsequent lifetime, when your affinity mature!

Don't lie and cheat anyone, as all will return to you eventually and most probably in Multiple Strength or Proportion the can be lethal to you!

YY, lied that she can do Treasure Vase Qi practice very well.
Why do I classified her statement as a lie? :)                                                                                

Believe it or not, her aura is dark and dull!
Her Qi system is very limited in that she can't hold her breath for longer period, a critical requirement for this practice.
For someone who can do any Qi practices successfully and well, this person has a bright shining and welcoming aura that galvanized all around him/her!


YY also said that ZZ, also practice with this Treasure Vase Qi practice with her.
They both can do this well!
Hahaha!

For your info, ZZ has a highly unfriendly aura and also dark and dull aura.
She has an obvious blockage of central channel from nasal downwards to heart chakra.


We were chatting about those statements that Core alleged to be SZ's, on Disciplines! 
SZ already refuted these statements in one of his speeches, saying: Cultivation Depends Solely on the Individual's Efforts!

Your lies were revealed or exposed by SZ himself!

However, this Truth doesn't seem to have any effect on Core and Core's Chairman.

O! another misconception of Core's chairman, is claiming to be 二祖 means 2nd master or senior or patriarch of TBS!
[This 二祖 or 2nd master of TBS, were stated in Official Documents circulated worldwide. The one about Core Chairman remaining unchanged with immediate effect and no need for election.]


SZ said previously that Core's chairman has been following him for many years and he is firm and strict enough, unlike SZ, who is very "soft", in Administration!

SZ said 接班人 – means one who take over his senior's duties.

Claiming to be 二祖 or 2nd master of TBS, is really far off!

A 2nd master like Ananda in the Zen Lineage, is an able person that is Fully Enlightened and has cultivated well. He is also the one that is instrumental in recording and documenting Buddha's teachings for posterity. 

Almost all of Sakyamuni's disciples are fluent with Buddha Dharma and Astral Abilities!

Like Pindola, can fly high up to bring down a bag, hung high up on a tree branch! 


Hahaha! In Tantric Cultivation perspective, Don't have means Don't have, can't bluff at all! 


Look closely at all those who think being a VM entitles them to ride rough shot over anyone!
They also lack True Respect for SZ in believing they can bluff SZ!

SZ knows 他心通 - mind reading!

Please Inscribe these words of SZ into your mind firmly:
"Do not compare as comparison leads to Disputes!"


Am I ever your enemy?
Hahaha!
NO! but you are your own worse one!


Cheers all.
