赶走文殊师利 Chasing Away Manjushri


Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengusir Manjushri


In recent speech, GM Lu recounted the story of Mahakasyapa and Manjusri.
Mahakasayapa went to Sakyamuni Buddha and related that Manjusri's behaviour is very inappropriate as he entertains women in his room with door closed, frequently.
He asked that Manjusri be expel from their sangha community.
Buddha replied that there is no way Mahakasyapa can chase away Manjusri.
At the wave of his hand, the Buddha showed Mahakasyapa that Manjusri abdies in every room, realms like the Hell and the 28 Heavens.

Well, this is a concept shared profusely in the Avamtamsaka or Flower Adornment Sutra. :)

The following is an example of existence in "billions of world-universe, and everywhere there was " Manjusri....

Hahaha!


The Gandavyuha Sutra from Avatamsaka Sutra:

Gaṇḍavyūha Sutra, which details the pilgrimage of the youth Sudhana at the behest of the bodhisattva Manjusri.
Sudhana would converse with 52 masters in his quest for enlightenment. 
The antepenultimate master of Sudhana's pilgrimage is Maitreya

It is here that Sudhana encounters the Tower of Maitreya, which along with Indra's net, is a most startling metaphor for the infinite:
In the middle of the great tower... he saw the billion-world universe... and everywhere there was Sudhana at his feet... 
Thus Sudhana saw Maitreya's practices of... transcendence over countless eons (kalpa), from each of the squares of the check board wall... 

In the same way Sudhana... saw the whole supernal manifestation, was perfectly aware of it, understood it, contemplated it, used it as a means, beheld it, and saw himself there.

The penultimate master that Sudhana visits is the Manjusri Bodhisattva, the bodhisattva of great wisdom.

~~~~~~~~

Now see?

Sudhana saw the manifestation, then learning >> understanding >> using.

This is same with anyone attempting to cultivate Buddha Dharma.
One needs to following the same process too.

I wonder anyone recall the speech GM Lu gave in Rainbow Villa after Homa, about Padmakumara existing everywhere and you just need to ask for help anywhere anytime!

Is there need to be physical near GM Lu?
Is there need to push others out of the way to be close to GM Lu?
Is there need to chase after GM Lu at all cost, irregardless of One's own limiting circumstances? ( I know of people that borrow funds to go attend GM Lu's events and never ever able to get out of these constant debts!)


Cheers all.

Lotuschef at Play – 缺乏了解 Lack of Understanding?



Shizun going around giving Moding-blessing and the named successor who is experienced in Administration walked ahead in the kneeling queue, pushing out SZ's sling bag for students to touch and in return collected "tokens of appreciation" for this "privilege" marketed!

Students think they need more blessing on top of SZ's personal blessing by moding?

Yes! They are somehow taught or broke into these "Ideology" that they need to do as VMs taught!

These are people that "Don't understand what is Contentment as shared by Sakyamuni Buddha!"

SZ talks about how to purify Body Speech & Mind at the Taipei event.

Question: What do you really need? $$$?

Hahaha! Pray go think about How Much is truly enough?

Question: Do you realize that $$$ not honestly earned with your own efforts will not benefit you at all?! :)


Now, let's look at how much you know about "走火入魔“ – means literally fire runs and demon enters!

Recently some one alleged that SZ said I am in this status of "走火入魔"!

Sadly the person who go spead these type of lies are really Ignorant of this phrase!
  1. For a practitioner of Qi-gong, this phrase means he has practiced or cultivated wrongly and hurt or injured his "internal system.
  2. Some believe that a cultivator that injures himself while practicing Qi-gong, becomes a Demon!

Hahaha!

What is your version then?


Cheers all.
