Sharing dari Lotus CN:

Seputar mendapatkan kesaktian, berwelas asih, dan kecenderungan untuk meminta.

Jadi ingat saat kamu bilang orang-orang bisa saja berdoa kepadamu dan memohon banyak hal darimu, tapi terserah apakah kamu mau mengabulkannya atau tidak. Sungguh benar!

Kita semua harus berkembang sampai ke suatu tingkat supaya punya kapasitas untuk menerima anugerah yang bersangkutan.

Inilah mengapa dasar-dasar pengetahuan dan cara berpikir menjadi terlihat sangat penting, seperti yang kamu selalu tekankan.

Salam.

===

Di dalam tradisi Shaiva, Shiva menceritakan banyak kisah dan insiden untuk menyoroti keterbatasan, menyoroti masalah yang akan menimpa seseorang yang selalu memberi tanpa pandang bulu – masalah yang akan dialami oleh si pemberi dan si penerima karena memberi sesuatu kepada seseorang yang belum siap menerimanya. Kalau saja mereka telah mengembangkan kehidupannya sampai ke suatu titik, apa yang mereka inginkan, akan kesampaikan juga pada akhirnya; namun sebelum mereka sampai ke titik tersebut, mereka sudah ingin memilikinya.

Bila kamu menerima sesuatu sebelum kamu mengembangkan dirimu sampai ke suatu titik di mana kamu siap untuk menerimanya, karunia yang agung tersebut bisa menjadi sebuah kutukan besar. Ada sejumlah orang di planet ini yang berhasil memanipulasi situasi entah bagaimana untuk mendapatkan sesuatu yang mereka inginkan, namun mereka menjadi sangat menderita setelah menerimanya. Mereka akan lebih baik mengharap saja, tapi begitu harapannya dipenuhi, mereka terkena masalah besar. Jadi baik si pemberi maupun si menerima bisa terkena masalah hanya karena memberi sesuatu atau menerima sesuatu di saat mereka belum siap untuk menerimanya.

Dalam berbagai kesempatan, umat manusia, saat mereka sampai pada suatu tingkat keberhasilan, akan punya dorongan untuk menjadi terlalu berwelas asih. Namun welas asih yang salah tempat selalu muncul dari ego-mu; kamu ingin menjadi orang yang paling berwelas asih di planet ini. Di manapun siapapun membutuhkan apapun – kamu akan mengulurkan tangan. Hal seperti ini bukan muncul dari pemahaman, kebijaksanaan, ataupun kesadaran apapun. Ia datang dari keinginan untuk menjadi yang terbaik atau yang “paling”. Kamu tahu, apapun yang kamu lakukan, kamu ingin menjadi yang “paling”.

Di manapun kamu pergi, bahkan bila orang-orang bilang, “Aku bodoh”, mereka inginnya mengatakan, “Akulah orang yang paling bodoh di dunia ini.” Bahkan di sanapun mereka ingin menjadi yang pertama. Entah bagaimana mereka ingin menjadi yang terbaik – dalam satu sisi atau di sisi lainnya. “Aku ingin menjadi yang paling cerdas, atau aku ingin menjadi yang paling bodoh, aku tak ingin berada di antaranya. Aku tak ingin menjadi orang biasa; Aku entah bagaimana ingin menjadi spesial.” Jadi kamu ingin menjadi yang paling berwelas asih.

Masalah ini memang menjangkiti orang-orang – mereka ingin menjadi yang paling berwelas asih.

Namun welas asih yang sejati bukanlah tentang memberi atau mengambil.
 
Welas asih yang sesungguhnya adalah melakukan apa yang diperlukan.
 
Kamu sendiri tak punya preferensi lebih menyukai yang mana; cukup dengan melakukan apa yang diperlukan adalah berwelas asih.
 
Kamu menjungkir balikkan dirimu ke dalam emosi yang besar dan mengulurkan tangan kepada seseorang bukanlah berwelas asih.
 
Ia hanyalah sekedar kepuasan diri, cara yang melenceng untuk menggenapi dirimu.

Welas asih, welas asih yang tulen memungkinkan untuk dicurahkan, saat tak ada sesuatu di dalam dirimu untuk digenapi, kamu hanya melakukan apa yang diperlukan.
 
Tapi selalu saja, bila kamu terjebak di dalam emosi yang mendalam dan melakukan sesuatu, kamu merasa bahwa momen tersebut sangat berwelas asih. Bukan! Kamu itu sedang mencari penggenapan diri. Aku bukan berkata ada yang benar atau salah dengan hal tersebut, tapi hal tersebut masih datang dari ketidakcakapan tertentu.


Seorang suciwan yang terlalu berwelas asih sedang membagikan berbagai barang kebutuhan orang-orang tanpa pandang bulu. Karena pelatihan renunsiasinya, ia telah berhasil mendapatkan suatu kemampuan tertentu dan kemudian memberikannya kepada orang-orang.

Jadi suatu hari, Shiwa memanggilnya dan mencoba memberikan nasihat kepadanya, “Sebenarnya ini bukan hal yang baik. Caramu memberikan karunia dan anugerah kepada orang-orang, hal ini tak akan membawa kesejahteraan bagimu, atau kepada orang-orang yang kamu beri. Hal ini bisa membawa banyak masalah bagimu, mungkin juga memberi mereka banyak masalah, atau kedua belah pihal sama-sama terkena masalah. Jadi berhentilah memberikan anugerah ini. Bila orang-orang datang dan meminta, itu tak masalah, dan kamu juga tak harus memberinya.”

Parwati, istri Shiwa, yang sedang duduk di sana berkata: “Oh, Yang Mulia, bagaimana mungkin? Di dunia ini hanya ada sedikit orang yang rela memberi apapun. Dan beberapa orang yang memberi, kamu malah mencoba mencegahnya pula – apa maksudnya? Setidaknya beberapa orang yang rela memberi, biarkanlah mereka memberi. Kamu harus menjelaskan hal ini kepadaku. Ini sungguh tak adil. Sudah hanya ada sedikit pemberi: kamu juga ingin memotongnya dan membuatnya menjadi lebih kecil?”

Kemudian Shiwa menimpalinya: “Kamu lihat, ini bukan persoalan mengambil sesuatu dari orang-orang. Ini juga bukan menghalangi dunia untuk menerima sesuatu, juga bukan merupakan usaha menghalangi seseorang untuk bersukacita dalam memberikan sesuatu. Yang kumaksud adalah bukannya membantu orang untuk berkembang sampai ke suatu kondisi di mana mereka secara alami akan menerima karunia kehidupan, jika kamu memberikan sesuatu kepada seorang yang belum berkembang, kamu malah akan membebaninya. Kamu justru akan menghancurkan hidupnya. Bila kamu menaruh perhatian akan kesejahteraan seseorang dalam tingkatnya yang tertinggi, kamu harus menempatkannya melewati proses perkembangan dirinya yang penuh ketelatenan hingga ia mencapai suatu kemampuan tertentu, di mana ia akan mampu mengakses dimensi kehidupan yang lebih tinggi, dan proses menerima akan secara otomatis terjadi kepadanya karena ia memang layak mendapatkannya. Kalau kamu menghadiahkan emas satu ton kepada seekor semut, ia hanya akan menghancurkan si semut. Ia tak akan membuat si semut menjadi kaya; si semut malah akan tergilas.

Jadi apa yang kamu berikan, bagaimana caramu memberi, menjadi hal yang sangat penting. Kamu jangan memberi tanpa pandang bulu hanya karena seseorang meminta kepadamu.
...

Kini, hal tradisional, maksudku, seperti “godaan”, yang mereka ciptakan dalam diri orang-orang, di mana bila kamu melihat seorang suciwan, hal pertama (yang dilakukan) adalah mintalah apa yang kamu inginkan, dan hal tersebut akan terkabul.
 
Tapi aku memberitahumu, jangan pernah meminta, karena kalau si suciwan itu bijaksana maka ia tak akan memberi.
 
Namun kadang kala ia berada dalam semacam kondisi di mana ia akan mengiyakanmu.
 
Kalau ia bilang oke, berarti kamu dalam masalah, karena kamu akan mendapatkan sesuatu di mana kamu belum siap menerimanya.
 
Kalau kamu mendapatkan sesuatu di mana kamu belum siap, hidupmu bukannya menjadi lebih baik, tapi akan menjadi kacau dalam berbagai macam cara.

Jadi bila kamu duduk di suatu ruang, saat kamu duduk dalam suatu medan energi, jika kamu melihat seseorang atau suatu tempat yang memancarkan suatu tingkat energi, seperti suatu kemampuan yang sedikit lebih besar daripada dirimu saat ini, itulah saat di mana kamu tak memikirkan apapun, saat kamu tak meminta apapun, kamu hanya perlu duduk saja. Bila kamu bisa melakukan hal tersebut, kamu akan mendapatkan asupan energi untuk berkembang dengan sangat cepat, bermutasi dari suatu dimensi ke dimensi lainnya. Begitu kamu berkembang ke suatu kemampuan tertentu, segala hal yang mungkin terjadi di dalam dimensi tersebut akan terjadi begitu saja kepadamu. Bila kamu tak berkembang sampai ke tahap seperti itu, tapi hanya sekedar berambisi saja, maka kamu hanya membawa banyak masalah kepada dirimu sendiri.

Komentar:

Hahaha! Menarik!!!

Orang-orang yang tak punya kunci/kiat, bila diberikan juga pasti tak bisa mereka gunakan sama sekali!

Aku juga MEMPERDAYAI KALIAN semua selama ini!

KENAPA?
SUPAYA kalian semua melaju ke tingkat selanjutnya. Kamu harus punya bahan yang dibutuhkan untuk naik ke tingkat selanjutnya.

Jadi bukan salahku kalau orang-orang tak bisa bersadhana dengan baik dan kehidupannya malah menjadi tambah kacau, tambah miskin, ataupun sakit! :)

Aku berencana melakukan puja kecil di rumah.
Kertas sembahyang untuk para arwah terlantar, dewa bumi, dan dewa kota bisa dibakar di bawah setelah puja.
Sungguh mudah pula.

Jadi bisa melakukan puja 7 yidam dalam sehari atau sekali sehari!
Hahaha!

Teman-temanku sekalian yang terkasih, ingatlah kalau aku selaku mengatakan hal berikut:
Mengenai pelatihan diri, Tak punya berarti Tak punya, tak bisa membohongi diri sendiri, apalagi orang-orang lain!!!


Salam semuanya.

Sharing: A Guru Always Takes You For A Ride



Book source: A Guru Always Takes You For A Ride, by Sadhguru
Video source: A Guru Always Takes You For A Ride


Sharing from Lotus CN

Of getting power, of being compassionate, and the tendency of asking.

I remember when you said that people might pray to you and ask for many things to you, but it's up to you whether you want to give it or not. It's very true!

One has to evolve to such a level to have the capacity to receive such a boon.

This is why the fundamentals of knowledge and mindset are very important, as you've been stressing again and again.

Cheers.

===

In the Shaiva lore, Shiva narrates many stories and incidents to highlight the limitation, to highlight the trouble that one can get into just by giving indiscriminately - the trouble that both the giver and the receiver can get into by simply giving somebody something for which they are not yet ready. If they had evolved their life to a point, to that which they desire, it would anyway happen; but before they reach there, they want to have it.

If you receive something before you evolve yourself to a point where you are ready to receive it, the great gift may become a great curse. There are any number of people on the planet who manage to somehow manipulate situations to get something that they want and suffer immensely because of what they receive. They would be better off with just the desire, but by fulfilling the desire, they get into deep trouble. So both the giver and the receiver can be in a lot of trouble simply by giving something or by receiving something for which they are not ready.

Many times, human beings, once they reach a certain level of attainment, have an urge to be overly compassionate. Misplaced compassion always comes from your ego; you want to be the most compassionate person on the planet. Wherever anybody needs anything - reach out. This is not coming from any kind of understanding, wisdom, or awareness. This is coming from wanting to be the best or the most. You know, whatever you do, you want to be the most.
Wherever you go, even if people say, 'I am stupid', people want to say, 'I am the most stupid person in the world.' Even there, they want to stand first. Somehow they want to be the best - one way or the other. 'I want to be the most intelligent, or I want to be the most stupid, I don't want to be lost in between. I don't want to be ordinary; I want to be somehow special.' So you want to be the most compassionate.

This problem is there among people - they want to be the most compassionate.

True compassion is not about giving or taking. 

True compassion is just doing what is needed. 

You have no preferences of your own; simply doing what is needed is compassion. 

You revving yourself up into a huge amount of emotion and reaching out to somebody is not compassion. 

This is just self satisfaction, devious ways to fulfill yourself.

Compassion is possible, genuine compassion is possible, when there is nothing to fulfill in you, you are just doing what is needed.

But always, if you get into a deep emotion and do something, you think that was a very compassionate moment. No, you are seeking self-fulfillment. I am not saying there is anything right or wrong with it, it is just that it is still coming from a certain inadequacy.

One overly-compassionate sage was indiscriminately disposing of people's needs. Because of his austerities, he had attained to a certain capability and he was giving it away.
So one day, Shiva called him and tried to advise him, “See, this is not good. The way you are dispensing gifts and boons to other people, this will not bring well-being to you, or to the people to whom you give. It may bring you much trouble, it may bring them much trouble, or both of you much trouble. So stop giving these boons. If people come and ask, it's okay, you don't have to give.”

Parvathi, Shiva's wife, who was sitting there, said: “Oh, my Lord, how is this possible? As it is, there are very few people who are willing to give anything in the world. And the few men who are giving, you are trying to restrain them also - what is the point? At least a few men who are willing to give, let them give. You must explain this to me. This is not fair. There are very few givers: that also you want to discount and make it much smaller?”

Then Shiva said: “See, this is not about depriving people of something. This is not about depriving the world of receiving something, nor is it an effort to deprive the person to have the pleasure of giving something. It is just that instead of helping people to evolve where they will naturally receive the bounty of life, an un-evolved person, if you give him something, you will only overburden him. You will only destroy his life. If you are concerned about somebody's ultimate well-being, you must put him through the painstaking process of evolving himself to a higher possibility, where he will receive higher dimensions of life, where receiving just happens to him because he deserves it. If you gift a ton of gold to an ant, it will only crush the ant. It will not make the ant rich; it will only crush the ant.
So what you give, how you give, is very important. You don't just give because somebody is asking.
...

Now this traditional, what to say, temptation, that they have created in people - if you ever see a holy person, if you ever see a sage or a saint, first thing is, ask for what you want, it will happen. 

I am telling you, never ask, because if he is wise he will not give. 

But sometimes he is just in a state where he says okay. 

If he says okay, you are in trouble, because you will get something that you are not ready for. 

If you get things that you are not ready for, life doesn't become better, life only becomes a turmoil in so many ways.

So when you sit in a certain space, when you sit in a certain energy, if you notice a certain person or a place is creating a certain level of energy, it seems to be a little bigger possibility than what you are, that is the time when you don't think of anything, when you don't ask for anything, you simply sit. If you simply sit, you will get the necessary nutrient to evolve very fast, to mutate from one dimension to another. Once you grow into a certain possibility, everything that is possible in that dimension will anyway happen to you. If you do not grow into that possibility, but just aspire for that, then you are just bringing heaps of trouble upon yourself.

Comment:

Hahaha!
Interesting!!!

people don't have the keys, giving them even one also they can't use at all!

I also take you people for RIDES all the time!

Request for Dharma Externally & Internally 心外求法、心內求法

Terjemahan Indonesia: Memohon Dharma Dari Luar & Dari Dalam
Reference to GM's article: 蓮生活佛開示 > 虹光大成就 - 心外求法、心內求法
Brief Summary Translation by Lotuschef



Extract:

那個「飛碟會」,他說他是「真道教」。他為什麼是心外求法呢?他聚集一些人,祈求外面的這個神降臨,在電視上顯現出來他要救眾生的消息,上帝先在電視上顯現出來。

那麼三月三十一號,上帝親自下降,來救所有在他那邊的人,把他們帶到天堂。三月三十一號以後,會沒有太陽,整個能源都消失掉。他的這個預言,他講的是這樣子的。

為什麼這樣子是屬於心外求法呢?
你很簡單可以看出來,他並不是往裡面去求、往自己的內心去求。 

GM explained that this religious group, Zhen Dao Jiao, has this Flying Saucer Event.
They are seeking or requesting their God, Heavenly Father, to appear first on TV, the on 31 March, to descent and succour or save those with his group to Heaven. 
And after 31 March, there will be No Sun, all energy will also disappear.
His Prediction is thus.

Why this way is Seeking Dharma Externally?
Very simple to see, He didn't seek internally but externally.


佛陀的教法是這樣子的,釋迦牟尼佛教的,祂教你慈悲喜捨,是你的內心裡面,發出四無量心,積德修福,「德」跟「福」是在一起的。你有「德」,就能有「福」。你要往生天,你就是要積德。 

要有慈悲喜捨的心,向裡面求。你自己發出四無量心,你就有天堂的福份,這個是向你心裡面求。

再說,你自己向裡面求你的心能夠定,一心不動,就能夠往生。向你的內心裡面,顯化光明出來,你就能夠進入佛的境界裡面。
身清淨、意念清淨、口清淨,就把三業能夠轉成三密。如來的三密你得到了,你自己顯化光明,進入宇宙的大光明裡面,你才能夠即身成就。
這個就是佛祂講的,往自己的內心求,你的心清淨,心顯光明,你才能夠有光明。

不是去祈求神從虛空中掉下來,然後帶著你們往上面走,不是的!

In the case of Buddhism, Boddhicitta's components of 4 Immeasurable of 慈悲喜捨 - Compassion, Sympathy, Joy, Share without regret or holding back; was taught and All from your innermost heart, radiating outwards.
Accumulating Good Merits and with these you can be born in Heaven upon your demise.

Moreover, when you can request that your heart is stable, immovable, and then can exhibit Brightness or Bright Light, you can enter Buddha's realm or Pureland.

Purifying Body Speech Mind is transformation of the 3 Karmic Components to 3 Secrets of Buddhas, and you can exhibit Brightness, entering the Universal's Great brightness, your body can reach attainment.

This is what Buddha said about seeking within one's heart, when One's heart is pure, then One's heart can exhibit or radiate Bright light, then One can become Bright Light.

It is not to request or seek Deity or God to descent from the Universal void, then bring you all Upwards, not like this!

---

Dear all,
I have picked out the specifics to translate only.

The rest of GM's article is just as educational, please get it translated on your own, as a form of your diligent efforts in cultivation. :)

What are Main Keys here?

Boddhicitta; Self Effort; Seek Within - or rely on Self; Purifying Body Speech Mind, .....


Cheers all.

Lotuschef in Chat – Greed & Needs



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.

Lotuschef at Work – [用] Sharing Dharma 1



This one is my assignment for this trip!

Student AA was sitting next to me at a big round table at Taiwan Temple.
We were not acquainted before this, although I had a feeling I had seen her before. :)

I said to her: Why so troubled?
AA replied: In my course of work, many are dissatisfied with me and too much politics that kept me busy and distracted. I can't work properly.

I shared with her how to visualize Guru, and start chanting mantra silently, sharing Guru's blessing with all around her.

As to all the politics? Hahaha!

The Diamond Sutra is good to void all, as per Guru.

There is No Form, No Constant, ...which one can employ to void all frivolous; nonsensical; unreasonable; vicious; ... negatives churning deeds from others.

In other words, leave these people behind and concentrate on sharing blessing with them, no matter who they are.

Buddhas do not succor those without Affinity too!

We leave those who have no affinity yet alone and wait for their affinity with Buddha to mature and then one of the True Yogis or Buddhas will surface to succor them.

Do not go against the Law of Nature!

There are ways to help each and everyone, so do not rush into anything and get entangled!

Cheers All.

7-9-2011 Fixation/Attachment 执着


Terjemahan Indonesia: Terpaku, Melekat


F: 法师, 在吗?[Fashi, you there?]

L: Yes. [是]

F: 想请教个问题。我们世尊加持的佛珠,我送给我的上海阿姨,她们说受不起。一个说戴了不见钱包,2000多元没了,一个索性整条断开了。
[Would like to ask a question. The Buddha beads that GM blessed, I gave to my aunties from Shanghai. They said they are not worthy of them. One said her purse was picked and she lost more than $2000. Another said she decided to cut hers up.]

L: Read my article on Buddha's Beads? [读我写关于佛珠的文章?]

F: 我是否不该随便给她们?[Is it that I should not easily give to them?}

L: Sit down and think clearly. Find the answer within. [坐下清澈的思考。向内找答案。]

F: 我再去看看![ I go and see again.]

Next day. 隔天.

L: 你需要的是定。既然送出去,就不是你该操心的事了。明白吗? 根本就没有佛珠,又何来的尘埃?自寻烦恼.
[What you need is to be firm. Since already given away, should not be bothered by them. Understand? In actual fact there is no Buddha Beads, so where does the Suffering arise from? Self seek Suffering.

F: 是啊,是她们自己心作怪,关我的佛珠什么事!要来的业障怎能怪佛菩萨?不过我就是缺乏定的智慧,怎么修才得定呢?
[Yes, it is their hearts that is playing havoc, nothing to do with my Buddha Beads! Karmic forces coming upon them, how can blame Buddha and Boddhisattva! But I truly lack wisdom to be Firm, how to cultivate then can be Firm?]

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

Let me ask you this.
If you have offered cakes to others. After eating, they commented the quality not too good.
What would you do?
Haha! Get them to regurgitate the cakes out?
Well, I think it is good in this instant that they are honest with you, so that you won't buy from the same source to share with others!

There was this incident in the temple whereby a florist make a wish before Chinese New Year to Buddha.
She asked for good sales of her flowers during the festive season and promised to make up 3 bouquet of artificial flowers to offer and display in the main halls for the whole year.

The bouquets were shifted during Vesak Day because of lack of space. On her subsequent visit, she made a lot of noise with the the care-taker of hall.
I came upon them arguing heatedly.
After asking what is the problem.
I told the florist, you have done what you promised. Buddha has also accepted your offering.
What and where and how the temple is going to do with your offering is already not important.
For example, if you offered food to the Buddha and then you shared them with others.
You not only offer to Buddha but also to others. Isn't this better to be able to SHARE.

The bouquets are very nicely done and whoever sees them benefit from the beauty of them and a feeling of joy results. Likewise with food, her bouquets benefited many and she also fulfilled her Promise.
I asked her whether she can sleep easy now without relocating her bouquets.
She said: Yes. She won't insist on relocation  her bouquets anymore.

When we make a gift or offering, do not still get attached to how others going to use them.

Another word on Buddha Beads, there are no such thing. When One attached properties to things, and insist that others adhere to the same. This cause Suffering to self as well as others.

Whatever GM blesses, for example ourselves, if we whole-heartedly receive we get Full-Charged.
However, this Charge will "wear-off" with time if we do not cultivate diligently to maintain them.

GM would be happier to bless us, all the time whenever we cultivate rather than we go seek his blessings in Person.
