Why do ancestors offering? 为何供养祖先？

Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengapa Memberikan Persembahan kepada Para Leluhur?

Above: Ancestors offering packs with lotuses in the tray.

Above & Below: Ancestors offering packs in the Stupa-print box, with lots of goodies added as toppings!

Ancestors offering has been shared many times in this blog!

The major reason for this offering is Filial Piety!
AND, providing for them well so that they lack for nothing is the goal! :)

In this 7th lunar moon, many do offering to ghostly spirits for peace and safety.
Hahaha!
Remember one of my article highlighted that when these ghosts come and take offering, the fierce ones will win and get most of the offering?

So the meek and weak ones get nothing most of the times!

In order to right this "Injustice", we have Talismans to set out distribution rules, so that everyone gets their share from the offering given.

And, thats Boddhicitta in offering to those in need too!

If you can do so for ghostly spirits that has no blood-link to you, then why don't do so for your ancestors?

Burning offering without stating the Recipients, you actually give rise to the Strong wins and the Weak gets nothing!

And, do you want your ancestors to accept charity from others and fight with others to secure needed resources?

Remember, GM Lu said when your ancestors are well, you will be well too!

Don't make beggars of your ancestors!


CHAT:
AA: our CC registered for ancestors offering at 14:38! :)
[closing date is today, at 12 noon]

This morning at about 6+am, someone called me: jie ah. 

on my right side, while I am sleeping.
a few times & i woke up.
i chanted TB sutra in dedication and told the spirit that she can get help during our homa event.
its the voice of an old lady

BB: oh :)

AA: hehe! spooky?

BB: yes she can come to receive deliverance during the homa too

AA: ya lol!
I think she saw me give lotus, stupa n flower to the old lady next door lol

BB: :)

AA: I met my neighbour downstairs and helped her to push her trolley home. she bought a lot of incense paper, so I told her I will give her lotus n etc. and taught her to chant Namo amituofo when burning incense.
she registered ancestor offering later

BB: lucky met you who taught her the proper way to burn joss paper hor

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

This ghostly spirit that called out to me many times, needs resources!

I met her when I first shift in to this place.

She happens to be the late mother of my landlord.

Her descendants failed to provide for her adequately or forget to do so, or didn't do in right way?

Anyway, she is happy after my dedicating sutra to her and telling her to come join the party in next homa event.

Dear all, Boddhicitta is not difficult to practice!

Do it!

Cheers all.

冤亲债主 Karmic Negatives

Terjemahan Indonesia: Penagih Hutang Karma

Also read:

• 那里不一样 What's the Difference?
• 那里不一样 What's the Difference? [A] – Mind Training
• 那里不一样 What's the Difference? [B] – Mind Training

Extract:

One is a karmic pack - it gives resources to your karmic foes - why do it?

One is an offering to divinities on behalf of your karmic foes - why do it?

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

[--- Hi dear,
in karmic refuge - means all karmic of this n past lifetimes.

so your one male & 2 female spirits are all included in the refuge as well as when u do offering or dedication to them or on their behalf to divinities.

Your karmic negatives is high because you have facial changes already in place when I first met you.

But as you are attending GM Lu's event in taiwan n seems a regular at local chapters, and also pretty smart, I hope you can learn the necessary to clean yourself.

I vaguely remember your hubby's look, and his is not as heavy as yours though.

Actually, cultivation is your salvation and you should do so regularly with true understanding of each step of cultivation

Offering to karmic of course will help you "Bring them to the table to talk"!
As to how to convince them of your sincerity, all up to you.

AND, you can't just do so for once or twice and think your problem solved!

As per GM Lu, cutlivation is for life!

In daily life, we all create fresh sins, knowingly or unknowingly.

Therefore, daily practice of repentance and dedication is needed to keep our karmic negative level in check only, if we Do it Right!

And, if we are lucky, we might be able to also reduce a little of our karmic negative level with each practice!

The solution lies in your own hands.

Cheers ---]

~~~~~~~~~~~

The above is in reply to yet another student who has problem with Karmic negatives.

The Karmic pack that is $88 each, is what is recommended to: 

those that has problems with karmic foes that failed to be resolved with self-efforts; 

those that newly step into cultivation - to help them to "Clear debts & start with a clean slate";

those that are unable to resolve karmic negative problems - like infants, young child, elderly and those that can't cultivate because of medical problems or deformities.

Offering to Karmic negatives, can help to "softened" them to at least listen to your apologies when your offering is sincere enough to them.

There is no point if they are not prepared to even spare you a moment.

So offering needs to be resources that they crave or need!

The individual lotus offering that Pure Karma prepares, is for offering to Divinities which is requesting for blessing for well being!

THINK: When you are hungry, can blessing fill your tummy?

To spirits, we need to appease or satisfy their material needs first, to put them in a happy mindset to listen or negotiate with us!

I remember registering some non-students' karmic negatives for refuge one Vesak day event.

Guess what?

They came later to question me as to why they are forced to take refuge when their karmic foes don't!

O! They were real angry too!

Hahaha!

I told them that Taking Refuge with GM Lu, a Living Buddha, is like getting a Passport to travel to Pureland!

The lotus and incense offering package for the refuge are their air-ticket and resources to spend!

Therefore, they can choose to accept the offering or not, and to board and travel to Pureland or not too.

No force at all! :)

After the Homa session in Medan recently, as I was talking to the parents of a little girl, I was looking at her closely and watching the spirit surfaced.

A grey-greenish wave appeared on her right cheek and she immediately cried out saying "Pain".

As I placed my hand over the grey-green wave, I asked the karmic foe to please spare the kid, and her parents are going to do offering to apologise.

The pain went away then.

When your karmic foes show acceptance of your offering and willing to forgive you, Then and only then, will Bardo Deliverance be accepted by them.

Paying for and doing Bardo Deliverance for them without first ensuring that they are ready to forgive and forget, will serve no purpose.

Remember that GM Lu said during a speech in Taiwan, that some spirits just refused to board the Dharma boats to Pureland?

If you have been following my articles on Karmic Foes and also GM Lu's teachings, resolving your Karmic negative problem is really not that difficult.

Remember, Sincere and your own efforts!

I hope I thoroughly explained this topic and will not answer further queries on the same again. :)

With Metta,

HK Event 2015 - 放不下 Cannot Let Go!

Terjemahan Indonesia: Upacara di Hong Kong 2015 – Tak Mampu Merelakan!

The following are screen-capture of the Abhiseka proceedings!

Are you one of those that still THINK you need to have whatever you Think important, Touch the Abhiseka Banners?

Hahaha!

If so, you are one of those that still Do Not Have Absolute Faith or Trust that GM Lu is a Buddha!

All grades of GM Lu's students also have this same Lack of Absolute Faith in GM Lu, as seen from the Abhiseka proceedings from all events!

What really happened to GM Lu's teaching of [ Mudra formation; Visualisation; Mantra]?

The more things that you hold Dear, the more hooks and chains you have locking you firmly down in the sentient realm!

During his dharma speech, GM Lu shared that in his "dream" in the early morning hours of the event, he saw a large crowd or attendees at this same event.
AND these are made up of ghosts or spirits!

But look at these people walking under the Abhiseka banners carefully, how many have great burdens on them?
How many have laden expression?
How many dragged their feet as if carrying a heavy load on them?

Now, THINK:
Are you really different from the ghostly spirits that GM Lu sighted in the early morning hours of the event day?

Got angry because I am telling you the truth that most are similar to the ghostly spirits that GM Lu went all out to help, even scarifying his own comforts?

Yes!
You better get angry so you can find the energy or impetus to motivate you to leave the Sentient Realm of suffering well behind!

During Ksitigarbha Boddhisattva events, I had similar vision of the movement of ghostly beings that are all chained together by thick metal cuff that locked their feet and joined to those in front and behind them with chains. Their hands are also cuff and link with chains, likewise.

Ksitigarbha Boddhisattva, with yellow robe and red drape,  rose to the Heaven and with sweeping movements of his arms, spread bright lemon-yellow light to bless all these beings below.

A real painful or heart rendering vision that always bring tears to flow from my eyes!

Please don't be a part of these ghostly spirits!


Cheers all.

Do You Really Know What You Are Doing? 你真的知道你在做什么吗？

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kamu Sungguh-sungguh Tahu Apa Yang Kamu Lakukan?

GM Lu said very recently that EACH Individual has a choice of learning from him or other people!
If you don't like TBS, then you can go to any place of your choice, as long as "你吃得饱" - Means you can fill your hunger. :)

The most hilarious I heard recently: Temple ban all those that were seen in photos, attending Pure Karma's event!!!

NOW!
What can the temple do for some or have done for some?
What has the temple taught or shared?

Lets look at the "Demand & Supply" Factors!

[1] An attendee when "scanned" has Heart problems, which I pointed out the exact spot, during one of our events in Medan!
He went to seek medical aid and examinations showed he has narrowing of blood vessels where I pointed at!
Yes! He has heart illness!

[2] Another one was doing offering on behalf of her father who can't attend personally.
This lady was told to chant her father's name repeatedly and draw him into vision.
The vision showed me that the father is ill!
The lady and her brother waiting in line behind her was shocked!

[3] Another lady came to seek help for her daughter who can see spirits!
Why seek help from me when there are VMs & Fashi in the local temple?
Seems the kid has problem also early this year and missed our event by a day!

This kid has this problem of seeing spirits for very long already.
Why can't the masters in the local temple help her all these years?

Hahaha!

[4] Students asking questions which pointed to their lack of fundamentals in cultivation!

There are many more cases that were helped during our events!


Dear all,
If you think you can control others and ban them from visiting your temple, think again!

What is the purpose of a Temple?
If you don't know, go ask GM Lu, please!

Don't blunder and create negative karma for yourselves and in turn caused harm to others!

THE KEY HERE - Can you help or not?

For the kid that can see spirits, praying to her ancestors and karmic negatives can help her.
AND there are methods that I taught the mother to teach her kid, to slowly "close up" the "see ghosts eyes" and prevent the ghosts from disturbing her!

I am not going to share online, so that the temple people can steal from me and use it, then claiming to be their own!

Hahaha!

Too bad!
Teaching you all means you use to cheat others and suck money from others as well!


Cheers all.

Lotuschef in Conversation – Tainted Food

Terjemahan Bahasa: Lotuschef Bercakap-cakap – Makanan Tercemar

Rouleau des Etres Affamés, Collection of Kyoto National Museum

I wrote about the Truth of Tainted Food.

Y, a friend of mine, that can communicate with spirits, told me last March when we were dining that she often get put off the food in front of her because she can see spirits eating them and leaving saliva and sometimes even mucus on the food.

M, the little girl that has her sibling’s spirit in her, can’t see these. However, she told me that she gets put off her the food that she ordered with much appetite and when these food is served, she somehow didn’t want to eat anymore.

She can somehow sense that the food is tainted with secretions from spirits?

Well, back to our great Monk!

He told me I am not to eat with fellow students as what they touched become Tainted Food!

Well, students complaint that he wants to eat first and halted them when they reach for the food when they are served. He said he has to eat first or be serve first!

Being so high & mighty, he forgot that Guru teaches “Om Ah Hom”, can cleanse anything!

Maybe he has no confidence of drawing light with “Om Ah Hom” to cleanse the food?

Guru also taught us Manjusri’s Deliverance Mantra to cleanse the food and also offer to all Divinities and share with all beings of the 6 realms through transformation into anything their hearts desire.

My point is whatever we learn, we have to also use them, agree? :)

Question:

Is Monk that clean & pure that he consider all others to be lowly and will taint his food upon contact?

Why then did he accept others invitation to a free meal?

Apply your knowledge of Buddha Dharma now.

Does he know what a Buddha truly sees in all sentient beings?

Does he really know some fundamentals of Buddha Dharma and practise them?

AH! O! 😊

In Tantrayana’s cultivation, Bodhicitta is the Final Key to Buddhahood.

Bodhicitta is to put others in Priority and self way behind!

Now understand why I said Monk has no Bodhicitta?

I am analysing to share how to use the 8 Fold paths.

Well, Monk is a good example to explain a point only.

This is without prejudice!
