告状的技巧?Technique of Lodging Complaints?




There are many that have never met me but started to slander me upon Hearsay! Hehe!
有很多与我未曾谋面的众生,却凭着听闻而开始无缘故的毁谤我!嘻嘻!

Well, to lodge a complaint against me, you need to have the RIGHT Techniques!
其实,如要告我的状,你需要【正】技巧或方法!

I have written that if you want to complain about me to get me penalize, you need to do so to my Root Guru, the Living Buddha Lian Sheng!
我写过如你要投诉我让我挨板子,你必须通过我的根本上师,莲生活佛!

For the technique of complaint, listen to GM Lu and they Keys to get at me is through Guru Yoga only!
欲要告状的技巧,听听鲁师尊的开示,搬到我的要诀只能通过上师相应法!

Hehe! However, if you are able to achieve Guru Yoga, you won't want to hurt me or anyone ANYMORE! 
嘻嘻!可当你能成就上师相应法,你就不会再想伤害我或任何人了!

Because with successful Guru Yoga, you are to some extent Enlightened!
因为,上师相应法成就者已同时达到某程度的【开悟】!

2010-11-27 《蓮生法王講六祖壇經》歸依有自心三寶 內調心性 外敬他人
[Platform Sutra ~ Refuge has 3 gems of own heart, internally adjust or synchronize own heart's nature, externally respect others]

Extract:


經文分明講,「自歸依佛」,自己歸(皈)依自己;「不言歸依他佛,自佛不歸。」
The sutra clearly states: Self refuge in Buddha - Self take refuge in Self; not speaking of refuge in other Buddha, and not take refuge in own Buddha.

為什麼「自佛不歸」?
Why don't take refuge in own Buddha?

因為,第一個,你錯用心,
Because, Firstly you USE Heart Wrongly;

第二個就是還沒證明到「自佛」,你還沒辦法證明到「自佛」,就是說你的修行還不夠力,功力還不夠。
Secondly, have not affirmed [Own Buddha], you still have no means of affirming [Own Buddha], that is to say you still have not cultivated to have enough strength, or Efforts ploughed not enough!

有一個joke,跳蚤、蟑螂和蜈蚣,它們三個是好朋友,有一天早上,它們三個睡醒,就商討:「誰去買豆漿?買燒餅回來?」跳蚤就講:「我去買好了。」蟑螂就講:「跳蚤一蹦一蹦一蹦一蹦的,豆漿在你手上,跳一跳,豆漿都會跳出來。跳蚤哪能去買豆漿?」蜈蚣就講:「我去買好了,因為我的腳很多,而且我走得很快。」跳蚤和蟑螂就同意蜈蚣去買。經過了一個小時,還沒有買到,「奇怪,怎麼還沒回來?」跳蚤和蟑螂便開門出去看,原來蜈蚣還在門口穿鞋子。這就是錯用心。 

修行本身來講,你一定要[穩紮穩打],像師尊,能夠開悟明心,能夠看見佛性,是穩紮穩打,而不是在那邊拖時間。
Talking about Cultivation in itself, you need to be [tightly bind & steadfast], just like Grandmaster, can become enlightened or attain realization of own's heart, able to sight Buddha nature, tightly and steadfast, and not dragging out time there.


很多真佛弟子皈依了很多年,才來問我:「我的本尊是誰?我的護法是誰?」
Many True Buddha School's students that had taken refuge for many years, just come and ask me: who is my Principle Yidam? My Dharmapala is who?


可見你還沒有修啊!
This Evidenced that you have not cultivated yet!


還有很多人,「上師相應法」都沒有修,「加行法」也沒有修。
Still there are many, have not even cultivate [Guru Yoga], [Preliminaries] also didn't cultivate.



◎你要穩紮穩打的話,一定要先修好「加行法」,種種的「加行」,只要「加行」很穩了,「上師相應」就快了,「上師」一相應,「本尊」就相應了;「本尊」一相應,「護法」當然相應。 

因為「護法」是跟著「本尊」的,「本尊」是跟著「上師」的,「上師」是跟著「加行」的,你只要「加行法」一相應,「上師」就可以相應,可見我們「加行法」的基礎都打得不好,「上師」都沒有相應。 

不是講我們這裡的上師都沒有相應,不是。不過,只要當了上師以後,又不想當上師的,當然是「上師」都沒有相應;或者是說,他離開了上師的職位,當然沒有「上師」相應,他不能夠做到真正的上師,如何稱為「上師」相應?所以,「加行法」非常重要,加行就是穩紮穩打,不能像蜈蚣出去買豆漿,一個小時以後還在那裡穿鞋子。 

為什麼「自佛不歸」啊?因為沒有認識「佛性」啊!沒有見證「佛性」啊!你如果真的開悟了,真的是見性了,你當然是「歸依自佛」。為什麼會「自佛不歸」呢?就是你的功力不夠,才「自佛不歸」。「無所依處」,因你「自佛不歸」就沒有可以依靠的地方;你相應了,道心絕對是堅固的;你開悟了,就知道甚麼叫作「皈依」,甚麼叫作「自歸依」;見證「佛性」,你也能夠「自歸依」了。今天,你不能「自歸依佛」,是你自己「無所依處」啊!你沒有辦法去依止。 

我們「自歸依佛」也不是自己非常的驕傲:「我是歸依我自己!」不是這樣子的,這也不是「唯我獨尊」。
We took Self Refuge in own Buddha does not mean self is very proud; I take refuge in myself! Not like this, this is also not [Only I reign supreme].

釋迦牟尼佛講「唯我獨尊」是因為祂已經明心、見到「佛性」,所以祂敢講:「唯我獨尊。」所以,「唯我獨尊」就是「自歸依」啊!
Sakyamuni Buddha said [Only I reign supreme] because he already attained Full realization, able to sight own Buddha nature, that why he dares to say: I reign supreme.
Thus, I reign supreme means Self refuge!

「我是歸依我自己的『佛性』」,所以才叫「唯我獨尊」啊!
I am taking refuge in my own Buddha Nature, thats why term as [Only I reign supreme]!

祂不是「我就是權威」、「我就是霸王」、「我就是獨裁者」,不是的,是祂認識了自己的「佛性」,已經歸依自己的「佛性」,所以祂才會稱為「唯我獨尊」啊!
He is not saying that  [I am the authority], I am the Overlord, I am the Dictator, not like that, it means that He has known His own Buddha nature, and has taken refuge in his own Buddha nature, that is why He terms it as [Only I reign supreme]!

「我」,是「佛性」,而不是肉身的這個「我」,大家不要搞錯了,「莫錯用心」,不是「權威」。 
[I] is [Buddha nature], and not the [I] of flesh body, all of you don't be mistaken, [Do not use heart wrongly], Not the [Authority].

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

Hahaha! Why do you think you need to attack those fellow students in their Facebook account, for taking pictures with ME?
哈哈哈! 你为什么认为你需要在他人的面书户头攻击那些与我合照的同门?

Who do you think you are?
你认为你是谁?

意志力 Will Power


Terjemahan Indonesia: Kekuatan Kehendak


Referring to the recorded sermon by GM Lu:
2016年10月8日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥開講「道果」-西雅圖雷藏寺

1. The Preliminaries


Before starting the cultivation, as a form of cleansing, take a bath and change your clothes, or you can wash your hands.
Afterwards, sit in a relaxed manner, straighten your spine, your tongue touching the roof of your mouth, and your eyes facing forward.

Start to hollow out by throwing away the stale air, stagnant air, and all the unhappiness.
In order to do so, you can yell “Ai” (Chinese word for “Love”) loudly.
You take a deep breath, hollow out from your Dantian (wiki: Elixir field, sea of qi), that is three to four fingers below your umbilical.
At your own timing, shout out “Ai” 3 times.

You should feel light, happy, and in the joyful mood.
You should be in this frame of mind before starting the cultivation.

Now take three deep breaths.
With each breath, visualise you draw in great amount of white light, slowly filling your body.

By using your mind or your “Will Power”, move this light to your hand and move your fingers a little bit, slowly move it downwards to your feet, toes, and move your toes a little bit.
All the time (while spreading the Light or Qi ) you are holding your breath!
And when your body is filled with this light, you should feel good.
When you can’t hold this breath any longer, again with your mind visualise you open all skin pores and emit the light outwards.


Just now you have thrown away all the black things, all the unhappy things.
So when you draw in the white light, it fills you, and you in turn give out the white light, so there is no more darkness.
As you have already thrown away the darkness, you are now lighted just like a light tube or light bulb.
When you switch on the electricity, that means you bring the light into you. It fills you and then you shine the lights outwards.
Like the energy-saving bulb, you get brighter and brighter.

So when you chant the Guru's mantra or other mantra, just visualise that you are that light bulb or that lamp, it becomes brighter and brighter – this means that you are sharing the goodness of the universe, the light, the energy, the brightness, and everything that is good with everybody.
Bear that in mind, Sharing! And you will do fine.

Now perform the three deep breathings and enter the cultivation. ---]

~~~~~~~~~~~

净业修法仪轨
1. 做三个深呼吸
    观想把白光吸入,闭气,舌头顶上额,白光慢慢的散发到我们全身。
    当白光散发到我们的手指时,拨动一下手指。
    白光慢慢的散发到我们的脚趾,我们的脚趾拨动一下。

    当我们不能再闭气时,观想我们把全身的毛细孔打开,把光散发出去,与我们身[周]边的众生分享。

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

Yesterday, GM Lu said that we use our [意志力 Will Power] to mobilise Qi for distribution of Bindu droplets to all parts of our body including all our skin pores!

For those of you that don't put effort into the Preliminaries to Build Foundation, you can't catch on to what GM Lu is teaching you at all!

The 9-steps Breathing techniques too is of utmost importance too!

Not only is External Tantra inaccessible to you, Inner Tantra is too far out of your reach too!

GM Lu said he is an Empty Cup 空杯!
To be an Empty Cup, you need to [Hollow Out] all the contents in you and clean up the cup in order to Fill it with Dharma Milk 法乳, agree?

Even if you don't want to attend Pure Karma's event or group cultivation, I sincerely hope that the Initial Cleansing & Purification before each cultivation session be use to your benefit.

Use & Practice with Wisdom!

普禮虛空 All Homage to Illusionary Void




蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 75_真佛法中法 > 大禮拜的口訣 - 普禮虛空

Key Secret of Great Homage Prostration - All homage to Illusionary Void

大禮拜的方法,先想上師,三寶佛在前。
Great Homage Prostration's method is to first think of Root Guru, Triple Gems, in front of Self.

自己手印先置頂,有白光射頂(一切身業清淨)。
Self's mudra first touch top, have white light shoot into top. 
(Purify all Body's karma).

手印再還置喉際,有紅光射喉(一切口業清淨)。
Mudra then touch throat chakra, have red light shoot into throat.
(Purify all Speech's Karma).

手印再置於心際,有藍光射心(一切意業清淨)。
Mudra then touch heart chakra, have blue light shoot into heart chakra.
(Purify all Mind/thought karma).

當身口心意三業清淨時,手印回頂上一觸散印,然後再下拜。
When these 3 karmas of Body speech mind become pure, mudra returns to top and disperse, then prostrate or bow down.

用西藏式的「全身投地大禮拜」或中國式的「五體投地大禮拜」或「觀想大禮拜」均可。

  大禮拜法的口訣,相當重要,其口訣是:
Key secret of Great Homage Prostration is very important, it is:

  普禮虛空。
All homage to Illusionary void.

  自身虛空。
Self is Illusionary void.

我在「真佛祕中祕」中說過,「大禮拜法」可以消業障,可以產生大佛緣,
In my book [True Buddha Secret within Secret] I have stated that [Great Hoamge Prostration method/dharma] can clear karmic hindrances, can produce/develop great Buddha's affinity, 

可以因恭敬禮拜而止「貪嗔癡」及貢高,是最高的虔敬之法,
can halt [greed aversion ignorance and pride/ego] with respectful homage, is the highest method of honouring respect,

又是符合身體運動的瑜伽,
also inline with yoga of body exercises,
再由佛菩薩諸尊放光加被,消除累世的業障,最後達到身口意的清淨,證得自身放光。
then from Buddhas' & Boddhisattvas' light abhiseka/blessing, eliminate all karmic hindrances of all lifetime, eventually achieving pure body speech mind, affirming Self emitting light/brightness.

  普禮虛空 -觀想虛空之中諸佛菩薩,重重無盡。
All homage to Illusionary void - visualise all Buddhas & Boddhisattvas covering infinitely & densely the Illusionary void.

  自身虛空 -觀想自身及六道眾生,亦重重無盡。 
Self is Illusionary void - Visualise Self & beings of 6 realms, also infinitely & densely covering the Illusionary void.

  在禮拜時,可一面拜,一面誦一「禮佛咒」,或至上頂禮觀的一偈,其禮佛咒如下:
During homage, can do so with chanting [mantra of homage to Buddha] or a verse from [至上頂禮觀]  [Visualisation of the Topmost homage], the mantra of homage to Buddha is as follows:

 「嗡。南摩曼祖洗爾耶。南摩蘇洗爾耶。南摩烏打嘛洗爾耶。梭哈。」
[Om. Namo Man zu xi er ye. Namo su xi er ye. Namo wu da ma xi er ye. Soha.]

  這「普禮虛空」及「自身虛空」的功德甚大,如此一拜,等於拜佛千拜萬拜,是大禮拜的無上口訣。
This [All homage to Illusionary Void] and [Self is Illusionary Void] have great merits, oen such homage, equivalent to homage to Buddha thousands and ten of thousands times, is topmost secret of Great Homage Prostration.

  「蓮生活佛」再開示如下:

  「大禮拜法的口訣,是普禮虛空及自身虛空,也就是禮拜重重無盡的佛,應用觀想重重無盡的我來禮拜。當我們倒身下拜的時候,就是最虔敬虛心的時候,要除掉自己貢高我慢的心,要除掉自大自滿的心,我們要大禮拜,就是滅盡自我驕傲的心啊!此時的心,等如虛空。」

  我又說:

  「虛空無盡,所以是普禮虛空之無上,而我們這個自性,也要化為無盡,這就是無上虛空的大禮拜口訣。這其中的意義,甚深而奧妙,就是一種融合,一種交通,一種無上的感應。」

  無數又無盡的佛。
Immeasurable and infinite Buddhas.

  全部化為無數又無盡的我。
All transformed into Immeasurable and infinite Self.

  佛菩薩諸尊化為一大白光,灌頂自心的無盡的我。

  二者合一,光光相照。

  愉悅,輕安,昇空,坐蓮。

  這是「普禮虛空無盡佛,自身虛空無盡我,佛即是我。」
這種無上的口訣是「 」雜字。

  這種成就是:
This type of achievement is: 

  一拜即是千拜萬拜。
One homage equals ten of thousands of homages.

  一拜即是佛我合一。
One homage is Buddha & me merge as One.

  「蓮生活佛」透露這「無上的口訣」,特別寫下一偈:

  普禮諸佛無上師。

  上師金剛大總持。

  如雲如海化無盡。

  我之禮拜亦無盡。

  菩提般若等持深。

  光明灌頂次第入。

  我身三業全消亡。

  光明清淨我無盡。

  佛我融合得成就。

  不斷悲智真佛子。

  坐上蓮花多殊勝。

  如此證道傳法燈。

  我特別在此指明,「四皈依法」的無上口訣,就是「皈依自性,你就是佛」。
而「大禮拜佛」的無上口訣,當然就是「普禮虛空,自身虛空」,
其最高的成就竟然是「佛我合一」。

  密教的「四加行法」,其實有甚深法理,行者不可輕視,均是深廣法,均是大法,由此得知也。
Tantrayana's [4 preliminary practice] actually have the deepest dharma theories, cultivator should not view slightly, all are deep and wide dharma, all are great dharma, know from here.

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

「佛我合一」Buddha & me merge as One - secret key of Great homage prostration! 

Hahaha!

I didn't bluff you, right?
I have been saying for years that doing any one of the First 7 steps in the Cultivation Sadhana taught by GM Lu can help One attained Buddhahood! 

AND, recently, GM Lu said the same too! 

Now, willing to learn and build foundation?


Cheers all.

鬼魅壓床 Ghosts Depressed Bed


Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 173_一夢一世界 One Dream One World > 鬼魅壓床


蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 173_一夢一世界 One Dream One World

蓮生活佛/文

Selective Summary Translation into English by Lotuschef

  有位弟子,老有「鬼魅壓床」的毛病,有時雙眼不敢閉目,只一閉目,便見一位暗影,漸漸的爬上身來,壓在他的身上,他的口不能言語,竭力想坐起來,也坐不起來,眼也張不開了,全身如木頭僵硬。

  如此過了良久,那暗影才自動離去,只要暗影一離去,他才能睡眠,但是,睡眠的狀況不是很好,早上一起床,疲憊不堪,全身酸痛乏力,更加困窘。

  他找過很多醫師,醫師給了藥,卻始終沒有效果,也找法師畫符念咒,門窗貼了符,但,偶而好幾天,卻又來了,令他不知如何是好。

There is a student that suffers from Ghosts Depressed Bed - which is ghostly spirits stack onto him when he sleeps.
He dare not close his eyes, as once he closes his eyes, the shadow will climb onto his body and press onto him.
Once that happened, he lost control of his body in speech and mobility.
Only when the ghostly spirits leave then he can catch some sleep.
Thus he is extremely fatigue in the morning and his body aches all over, he is extremely troubled.

He has consulted medical practitioners and taken medication but not effective.
Also consulted some masters who drew talismans and chanted mantra and some talismans to paste on doors and windows, but some only worked for a few days and some not at all.

  這真是佛陀說的:「觀受是苦。」
This truly is what Buddha said: Sight and sense is suffering.

  這位弟子皈依後,勤持《高王觀世音真經》,也持了好長的一段時日。
This student took refuge and diligently chant [High King Avalokitesvara Sutra], and did so for quite a long period of time.

  但,這暗影鬼魅,纏住不放,照來。
But, this ghostly shadow still entangled and won't let go, still come.

  一直到有一天,他覺得《高王經》無效應,要放棄。
Until one day, he felt that [High King Sutra] has no effect and wanted to give up.

  師尊入夢,告訴他:「勿放棄,再持二十一天。」
GM Lu entered his dream, told him: [Do not give up, continue another 21 days.]

  他從那一天起,便做記號,再持二十一日。
He started to mark down that day and continue for another 21 days.

  說也奇怪── 那暗影鬼魅又至。
But it is funny to say ---- That ghostly shadow came again.

  此時,床頭現出白光一道,白光中有一名女子,就像觀音菩薩,喊了一句:「大膽,孽畜,在此害人!」
At this time, a beam of white light from the head of the bed appeared, and within this white light there is a lady, just like Avalokitesvara Boddhisattva, shouted one sentence: [Bold hearted sinful beast, here to harm people!]

  那暗影一見白光,便逃遁。
That shadow ran at the sight of the white light.

  「哪裡逃!」
[Where to escape!]

  白光女子,持甘露瓶把暗影一吸,收了進去,而白光就漸漸的消失了。
White light lady held a divine dew vase that sucked in the shadow, and the white light slowly faded away.

  那夜,弟子睡了一個從未睡過很好的覺,第二天,精神旺盛,百病全消,成了無病人。
That night, the student slept like never before and the next day, he is fully of vitality, all illnesses gone and became one with no illnesses.

  從那夜之後,「鬼魅壓床」的現象,完全自動消杳,這老毛病全好了。弟子恍惚之中,前後判若二人,前一位是病懨懨,後一位,神光彩彩。
From that night onwards, [Ghosts Depressed Bed] syndrome completely and automatically disappeared, this old ailment completely healed.
The student is like two different person, before a sickly fatigue one and after, a bright and shinning one.

~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all, 
Many of you heard of this visitation by ghostly spirits and some of you have experienced them too.

GM Lu shared lots on remedies and the High King Sutra is one of effective ones.

But, are you aware that this wondrous sutra also has amazing effects on gradual cleansing of your karmic body speech mind?

Thats why it is included into our standard Sadhana as one of the 7 Preliminary steps!

For one that took refuge with GM Lu, this sutra is a critical key to help one purify and accumulate merits.

The why and how are explained in various articles in this blog.

Go find them if you are really sincere in helping and saving yourself and then all beings.

Cheers all.

Build Foundation - Four Preliminaries Practice 建基础 - 四加行法





Above: GM Lu holding out a mobile phone with photos showing the Sariras from the late VM Lian Xin 蓮信上師, who was cremated the same day as yesterday's event in Caotun Temple, Nantou.

Quoting from 5-7-2011 The Importance of the Four Preliminaries:

`What is the most important practice?`
`The Four Preliminaries` I replied.
`Why?`
`The Four Preliminaries Practice is the very foundation of Tantric Buddhism. If the foundation is weak, all cultivation is simply like building castles in the air.`

When we begin our cultivation of the Tantric practices, we must first build the foundation, as it is required for preparing the ground of cultivation, hence, the Preliminaries.

The Four Preliminaries are each embedded with profound significance.

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


蓮生活佛讚揚「蓮信上師」是「真佛宗第一位功德主」,功德巍巍!,
蓮信上師也是協助「台灣雷藏寺」建寺,弘法不遺餘力尊貴的上師。
GM Lu enumerated VM Lian-xin's various meritorious deeds, like being instrumental in the success of erecting Caotun Temple.

在火供時,蓮生活佛清楚的看見蓮信上師立於火上,直接成佛!
坐在蓮花上,様貎如阿羅漢,非常真實清楚!
During the event, GM Lu has a very clear sighting of VM Lian-xin in the Homa fires, directly attained Buddhahood!
He was sitting on a lotus flower, appearance like Arhat, very true and clear!

這是「中陰成佛」,是第二等的成佛,是非常非常難能可貴!
This [Bardo attain Buddhahood] is the 2nd class Buddhahood attainment, very very rare and precious!

蓮生活佛感謝蓮信上師!
並作為真佛宗的見證,是真佛宗的光榮。
 


蓮信上師是「敬師、重法、實修」,在今天火化後,燒出了「金剛舍利」如姆指大,非常稀有珍貴;而且還有各種顏色的「舍利子」、「舍利花」。
VM Lian-xin practiced [Respect Guru, Value Dharma, Diligent Cultivation], and upon cremation today, sarira the size of thumb, [Vajra Sarira], resulted, these are rare and precious; and there are various types of sarira in various shapes too.

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

Dear all,
During his Dharma speech yesterday, GM Lu brought up the topic of authenticity of Dharma shared by him.

The resulting sarira from cremation, proved that what GM Lu taught and shared are authentic and can lead a diligent student to eventual Buddhahood if adhered too steadfastly!

Hahaha!

It is not Dharma that is no good, but dependent on the student practicing Dharma!

Yet another good motivation for all to start as per GM Lu "From the beginnning" and "Step by step" too!

A word of caution: Do not attempt to jump before you can even stand erect to walk!

Think that you have ample foundation or did enough Ground works?

Chat: 
A: One must feel drawn by the person, a guru, VM, true yogi, - its an unconscious kind of charisma :) 

B: even the esoteric moslems said that charisma was the kind of invisible light
Dec 5, 2:14 PM

A: its a homing signal lol
u want to be a part of this circle or family n wants to abide within


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

In the above CHAT, I am sharing how to distinguish a True Yogi or one in the making already! :)

Now look at GM Lu's and VM Lian-xin's photo, do both of them draw you?
Does both shine with welcoming warmth and give you a sense of belonging?


Cheers all

Lotuschef at Play – Don't Have Basics 没有根基!





【TBSN最新】2015年11月29日 蓮生活佛 盧勝彥法王法駕〈甘露精舍〉主持「地藏王菩薩瑜伽焰口」法會──真正最大的善,就是修行!


【雨文 報導】2015年11月29日下午二時許,蓮生活佛 盧勝彥法王於〈甘露精舍〉主持「地藏王菩薩瑜伽焰口」法會。
會後,蓮生法王開示時首先談到〈甘露精舍〉,每年一度做瑜伽焰口超度幽冥非常靈感,廣度十方法界。
在化食時感應到非常多的幽靈,數目像螞蟻那麼多,全部乘坐到有一整面的法船,往生到佛國淨土,非常的殊勝。
(現場有同門見證看到佛菩薩放光,幽冥眾等乘坐法船往生。)

墮落到三惡道是最不好的,陽間者可以請諸佛菩薩放光加持他們,令他們黑業化為清淨,就可以往生佛國淨土。
做超度的話,一般來講,祖先可以到好的地方,陽間者會得到福報,會增長福分和智慧。
修行人可以常常超度歷代祖先,都是會有利益的,我們自己本身等於是在修行。

看地理幾個要訣,龍本身來講就是氣,看地理一個要訣,陽宅有地氣且盤旋停留不走就是好房子,住了會發。
陰宅也是一樣。環境很重要,生基很重要。還要看流水的方向,在台灣的地方,住在西部,所有的水是東邊往西邊流,台北方向是往南邊流。

很遠水,看近水,有近水明堂是比較容易找;遠水是發的比較久遠,看是不是能藏風聚氣,能不能把水引進來,就知道財庫位。最後看房子正門的方向是不是合主人生命磁向,房子後面要有靠,兩邊要有抱,前面要有照,照中要有泡,生命磁向很重要。

要知道地理風水要捉住五個要點:龍、穴、砂、水、向。
風水也是很重要,是可以冥陽兩利。
Most important point in Feng-shui is to benefit both realms of dead & alive.

唯有修行才能改變命運!
Only Cultivation then can change one's destiny!

真正最大的善就是修行,只要好好的修行,你所得到人生的價值超過一切。
The most true kindness is cultivation, and only cultivate properly then the life's value that you can get surpasses everything.

你只要能夠度化你自己到佛國境土,你可以即生成佛,你就是人生最高的價值,等於是最大的善事。
阿羅漢 Arhat 就是把自己度到最高境界,自度度他,自覺覺他,就是
菩薩 Boddhisattva。
[These are mostly about the stages of cultivation or the Yanas, which I have shared recently in this blog.]

在六道轉來轉去,唯一最重要的要懂得修行,有了正法,有耐心,有長遠心,每天在修行,把自己度化,也影響周遭的人跟著你一起修行,就是真正的大善。

因為你發了慈悲心,能到天道去修行,要超過天道去四聖界,要仗著我們的修行才行。

失憶不見得是壞事,只要把愛恨情仇等垃圾忘掉,懂得唸阿彌陀佛,持一個咒,一個想念,把心中化為一朵蓮花,就可以成就。

世界上只有修行的身口意清淨是不變的 In this world, Unchanging Body speech mind only from cultivation,
你不修行你的身口意就是dirty,就是垃圾,這就是修行的價值。
When you don't cultivate, your body speech mind is dirty, is garbage, this then is value of cultivation.

真正修行人不管住在那裡都是在修行,不管在賭場或妓院工作,也都是在修行。
修行要能成功,就是特別能吃苦。
修行一定要勤,一定要快,而且要時時刻刻在修法,不忘掉法,不管任何時候就是在精進之中。

把修行融入生活之中才是真正的修行。
不只在禪修中,食(修供養)、衣(練習結界)、住(睡覺修眠光法,修夢)、行(行走和開車皆持咒)都是在修行,工作也是修行,練習制心一處。

人生最有價值就是你自己超越了六道輪迴到四聖界,做了很大的善事,超度歷代祖先也是很大的功德,很大的善事,每天要做善事,每天要修行。

CHAT:

AA: yesterday GM did an event in F's chapter
【TBSN最新】2015年11月29日 蓮生活佛 盧勝彥法王法駕〈甘露精舍〉主持「地藏王菩薩瑜伽焰口」法會──真正最大的善,就是修行!

hehe! my expose of their lies really effective?

BB: 【TBSN Terbaru】29 November 2015 Dharmaraja Liansheng Shengyen Lu Memimpin Upacara Ulkhamukhayoga Ksitigarbha di Vihara Ganlu, Bhavana Adalah Kebajikan Teragung

thats the indo translation for 29th Nov Dharma Speech

AA: hehe! still all about constant continuous diligent cultivation lol

BB: but din mention anything specific about VMs

AA: all about basics

hahaha! Just think! When GM finds a need to share basics means all don't have lol! :)


BB: ahahaha

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

Hahaha! 
Why Basics so important for successful cultivation?

Because Maha Mudra, Maha Perfection, Zen, Dharma all develop from Effective Use of Relevant Basic Principles/Theories recorded in Dharani and passed down.

The VMs?

One of them told fellow student during Wenshi, that he can advance to Guru Yoga as he has cultivated 4 Preliminaries for sometime! 

Hahaha! 

Obviously don't have Basics, agree?

Goes to show that the individual has yet to advance to the next stage or leave "beginner's stage"!

If you hate me for revealing the Truth about your cultivation level of almost non-existence, Then please Use this Great Emotion of Hate to drive you to advance in Cultivation with effective and diligent cultivation as per shared by GM Lu!

Ya. Nothing to do with anyone if you can't "Advance"!

Buddhas don't lie and also Buddhas know all! 


Cheers all.

直指 Direct Pointing Out – 上师相应 Guru Yoga

 
[--- 13. Guru Yoga

The Padmakumara Mudra

Form Padmakumara's hand mudra.

Visualise Padmakumara appears from the universe, blessing us with white (from his third-eye chakra), red (from his throat chakra) and blue lights (from his heart chakra). These lights cleanse the sins from the past lives and the present one.
Remember to sit up straight, keep your spine straight, then you can get the blessing!

Now visualise a HOM seed syllable from the mantra wheel in Padmakumara's heart chakra spinning and shooting a beam of great white light directed at your heart chakra.
The HOM seed syllable is now duplicated in your heart chakra (this seed is nurtured and will grow by your recitation of mantra and bodhicitta).

Optionally, you can transform the HOM syllable into a white-lighted lotus. It continues to emit great white light, filling you and spreading outwards.You are sharing this light with all.

Alternatively still, you can visualise yourself abiding serenely in the Maha Twin Lotus Pond of the Western Paradise.

We maintain this visualisation and we chant Guru's mantra.

Now remember, you are like the light bulb!
Once you are lighted, you continue to give out lights.

You can actually time your breathing to draw in and give out the light.
It is up to how you want to do it, but once you are lighted, you stay lighted – like a bulb, when you switch on the electricity, it is lighted until you switch it off.
Once you light it, don't switch it off. Continue to stay lighted!

We start to chant mantra.

Recite: OM. GURU. LIEN-SHEN. SIDDHI. HOM. (108x)

Feels good?
Once you’re lighted up, you feel lighter, feel brighter, there is a joy coming from within that oozes outwards, now maintain this visualisation.
---]

~~~~~~~~~

Quoting from 直指 Direct Pointing Out -潇洒走一回 An Unimpeded Trip?:

[--- Case 3
LR to his wife, LK: you must cultivate 4 Preliminaries first then Guru Yoga.
Cannot do Guru Yoga yet.

I asked him why he can and his wife can't.

LR said that when he went to Wenshi at local chapter, VM Lian Huo told him that as he has been practicing 4 Preliminaries Practice for some time, he can now advance to practice Guru Yoga.

Hahaha!
LH has always claimed that he is the most senior of GM Lu's disciple! ---]


[--- I wish to add that we have to truly bear in mind, GM's teachings.
GM teaches us to cultivate vajrasattva & padmakumara yoga well. 
Actually these two practices are truly amazing. 
I recently realized that they contains many variations. 
I have also told GM about these variations.

When chanting GM's mantra (during a cultivation session of 4 Preliminaries Practice at a local chapter - sometime in March 2009), I found myself in the centre of the Earth. --This happened after chanting mantra about 7 times only.

As I chant, the power of the mantra pushes all the negatives outwards. 
As these leave the Earth's surface, countless GM covered the Earth's surface.
If we compare with the Thousand multiplier Wheel mantra, these one multiplies by the number of sentient beings on Earth. 
Isn't this more powerful than the Thousand multiplier?

But what I realized recently is that this evolved from 4 immeasurable visualisation.
We treat all sentient being as self. 
During cultivation we transform them into self. 
Then when we merge with say GM, they all became GM too. 
All these from 4 immeasurable vows. ---]
 
~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all, 
I hope you all realised by now that those seniors who claimed that they can this and that and have great dharma power, are mostly Fakes! 

Within 4 Preliminaries Practice and All practices set out by GM Lu, one of the step is [Guru Yoga]!

WHY?

Root Guru is our only Link to the Universe and Buddhahood!
As the Only Key to open the door, Root Guru's presence is a must!

Therefore, when a veteran student, a VM, instructed you that as you have cultivated 4 Preliminaries for sometime, you can now advance to GuruYoga, this student has yet to achieve success with Guru Yoga!

I am not talking bad, am I?
I am Telling the Truth as it is, only! :)

In my maiden dharma speech on 7 November 2009 in Seattle Temple, as I chanted Guru's mantra, I transformed into Root Guru, Living Buddha Lian Sheng!
It happened after I chanted the mantra only 7 times!

And in the practice, we chant this mantra 108 times!

Hahaha! 

You have more than enough time to transform into Root Guru and have fun!

Tell you some more? :)

All Divinities do not know you!
But they know our Root Guru, The White Padmakumara, The Living Buddha Lian Sheng!

So, your most important key is Root Guru's presence in any of our practices and endeavors, agree?

Am I crazy in telling you all these truths?

Why listen to a sentient being when you have a Living Buddha as your root guru?

Wake up and wisen up too!

Don't let any being bound for Hell or even Vajra Hell, be your leader or "boss"!

O! You don't need a crazy lama like me too! 

Hahaha!

Just your root guru will do! 

As to how to choose a real guru, read this article by GM L:

Quoting from 大藏經的卷帙 Within Tripitaka's Folder:

[--- 這位明師一定是:This knowledgeable teacher must be:
絕貪去欲。Severed greed and removed desires/cravings.
返樸還淳。Return to plain and back to honest.
清淨無為。Naturally Pure.
遊心於佛。Heart travels with Buddha.
不馳外務。Not busy with Other Matter (Other than Buddha's matter).
絕名絕利。Severed Fame, Severe Benefits.

這才是真正的「明師」也!如果不是,概不可以師法。
This then is a true [knowledgeable teacher]! If not, then cannot teach dharma.

否則拜錯師父,一切白費時光及金錢。
If not as listed above, then wasting time and money following a wrong teacher. ---]

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

Hahaha! Most have been attending cultivation sessions and blindly followed through what were doled out, WITHOUT understanding what they are doing!

Don't waste your limited lifetime to this realm anymore!

If you can't achieve Yogic union, blame yourself for following the wrong people!


Cheers all.

一切為「一」All as [One]


Terjemahan Indonesia: Segalanya adalah [Satu]


蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 249_來自佛國的語言
249 - Language from Buddha Country

老子說:「人能守一,萬事畢!」
Lao-zi said: People can keep to One, all matter conclude! 

孔子說:「一以貫之。」
Confucius said: One throughout.

佛陀說:「一乘。」
Buddha said: One vehicle.

道家曰:「煉精化氣,煉氣化神,煉神返虛。」
Daoist said: Practice essence to transform to Qi, Practice Qi to transform to soul or spirit, Practice soul return to illusion.

後來,再加一句:「煉虛返道。」
Later, added: Practice Illusion return to Dao (Path).

這也是「一」的道理。
These are definition of [One].

淨土宗的迴向:
Pureland School's dedication: [see below]

「願同念佛者,同生極樂國,上報四重恩,下濟三塗苦,見佛了生死,如佛度一切。」

這是「一」。This is [One].

全部回到極樂淨土的「一」。
All return to Paradise Pureland is [One].

禪宗、淨土宗:「萬念皈於一念!」
Zen & Pureland schools: All thoughts regrouped as One thought!

密宗說:「一味瑜伽。」
Tantrayana said: One flavour yoga.

基督教說:「唯一的一神,耶和華上帝。」
Christian school said: Only one god, Top emperor Jehovah.

密宗有「子母光明會」:
Tantrayana has [Meeting of child's and mother's light:

「修煉自己的光明(子光),與宇宙的光明(母光),彼此合一,回歸互融於毘盧遮那的大光明海。」
Practice & Cultivate self's light (child light), with Universe' light (mother light) merge as One, return and harmonise in the great bright sea of Vairocana.

這全是:「一」。
These are all: One.

●

密教修「加行法」,是密教的「築基」,這一點非常的重要。
基礎愈堅固,將來就愈能成就。
Tantrayana's [Preliminary Practice] is [Build Foundation], this point very important. 
The firmer the foundation, better in attaining success in future.

不可小看「加行法」。
Do not underestimate [Preliminary Practice].

「加行法」是基礎法。
It is basic foundation dharma or methods.

「加行法」是一切法之基點。
It is starting point of all dharma ways.

我們且看: Lets look at:

大禮拜法── Great Homage method:
全身投地的禮拜,三步一拜,不管是繞山、繞湖、朝聖地,全在表現虔敬的一心。
冥想本尊在前,一心一意的全身投地的大禮拜。
(降伏自己的傲慢)- Suppress one's pride & ego.

大供養法── The Great Offering method:
以大曼達供養,相當於整個宇宙的七珍八寶供養,以「一」供養「一」。
(降伏自己的私心)= Suppress one's selfishness.

四皈依咒── The Four Refuge mantra:
南摩佛,南摩法,南摩僧。
南摩古魯貝(皈依金剛上師),南摩不打耶(皈依佛),南摩達摩耶(皈依法),南摩僧伽耶(皈依聖僧)。

(一心皈依金剛上師、佛法僧。其實是一皈依,最後是皈依自性)
Refuge with one heart to the Vajra Guru, Buddha Dharma Sangha. Actually is one refuge, eventually refuge in self's nature)

大懺悔法──  The Great Repentance method:
念誦「金剛心百字明咒」,達萬萬遍。
(消除自己的業障,百字明的法義就是空性,也即是佛性)
Eliminate sins of self, 100 syllables mantra's dharma definition is Void nature, that is Buddha Nature.

這四種法,做愈多愈好,十萬、百萬、千萬…。
These 4 methods or dharma, do as much as possible.

●

以上的加行法,是深入提高自己的專注力,以身體、手印、口誦、觀想,達到身、口、意的合一清淨。
The above Preliminary Practice or Dharma, is to go indepth to lift up one's own concentration ability, with body, hand mudra, verbal chanting, visualisation, arriving at body, speech, mind merging as one in purity.

精神集中的修行實修,可進入真正無妄念的專注狀態。
Focusing one's conscious essence or spirit in diligent cultivation, can enter True no unwholesome thought type of focus condition.

全神貫注。
All essence concentrate or focus.

訓練自己分散漂移的念頭,能夠達於:「一」。
Train own's loose and wondering thoughts, can reach: One.

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

18. Dedication of Merits

Recite the dedication verse:
May all who uphold the name of Amitabha Buddha
Be born together in the Pure Land of His Western Paradise.
Repaying the Fourfold Generosity from above,
And aiding those who suffer in the Three Paths below.
Upon seeing the Buddha,
May I be liberated from the cycle of birth and death,
And may I develop the qualities of Buddhahood,
And thus free all who suffer.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha! 
Another article from GM Lu on Buddha's Language!

Build Foundation! 
Sounds familiar?

Ya! I have been telling all that Basic Foundation is crucial to your progress in cultivation!

NOW, Got an idea what is Buddha Language all about?

Lotuschef has a very peculiar and "Unfriendly" stipulation to all that seek to learn cultivation from her!

You must show Lotuschef that you are sincere in diligent cultivation and have some basic or fundamental to BUILD upon! 

Haven't I been talking and sharing in Buddha's language?

Can't blame most of you, for not recognising or understanding Buddha's language?

Look through all that is shared in this blog carefully, how much do you really understand?

As GM Lu cautioned: Do not slander anyone if you don't understand! :)

Valuable and prudent caution that you best heed!

To the reverend that yelled at me at my first attendance of White matter chanting session in Singapore, who pronounced : Who said cultivate Four Preliminaries Practice can attain Buddhahood!

Does it matter whether some ignorants pronounced that Lotuschef is not a Fashi?

Wake up, please!

Show me you are sincere and going to be diligent in cultivation, and arm yourself with some fundamentals that I shared profusely in this blog, 
THEN, I will help you progress "Step by Step" in cultivation of Tantric Dharma!

Of course, the choice remains Yours and Yours alone, to do or not to do!

I will make sure that you do not waste my time!


Cheers All.
