Kebijaksanaan yang nampak gila – Santet? 降头?

Seseorang memperingatkanku supaya tidak memasuki Vajragarbha Seattle.
Mereka bilang bahwa XX memasang jebakan ilmu hitam di dalam sana, dan saat aku masuk maka santet tersebut akan mencelakaiku.

Tapi kemarin aku tetap saja masuk selama 15 menit dan juga melakukan maha namaskara!

Aku baik-baik saja nih. :)

Dasar para tukang gertak yang kurang kerjaan, bisanya hanya menakut-nakuti supaya kejahatan-kejahatannya tak diketahui Guru.

Teman-temanku sekalian yang terkasih, menurutmu apa ada yang bisa menyembunyikan apapun dari seorang Buddha Hidup seperti Sang Guru Akar kita?

Hahaha!

Bagaimanapun juga, ancaman mereka kepada banyak fashi dan teman-teman umat sepertinya lumayan manjur, karena beberapa yang berpapasan denganku menimpali salamku dengan “kurang nyaman untuk bicara sekarang” (现在不方便说话).

Bila dipikirkan: Dengan mengancamku, apa yang telah dilakukan oleh Komite Pusat?
Artinya mereka meremehkan Guru sebagai seorang Buddha Hidup dengan mengklaim bahwa mereka bisa memasang guna-guna di dalam Vajragarbha untuk mencelakaiku, bukannya begitu?

Dan ini juga sama halnya dengan mengesampingkan pernyataan Guru untuk mengenakan Toga warna Marun dan menggantinya dengan kain warna coklat?

Masih lagi ditambah dengan terang-terangan melarang pengambilan foto segera setelah Guru memperbolehkan para murid untuk berfoto dengan beliau – bukankah ini menunjukkan kalau mereka sama sekali tidak menghiraukan pernyataan Guru sekaligus tak menghormati Guru Akar mereka sendiri?

Hahaha!

Suasana di Seattle saat Guru berkeliling untuk memberi berkat “moding” (jamah kepala) sungguh penuh dengan emosi, kamu harus datang untuk mengalaminya sendiri.

Bagaimana kalau aku tiba-tiba bicara saat Guru memberkatiku?

Hahaha!
Ah tunggu dan lihat saja nanti saat Guru memberi sinyal.

Oh ya! Karena aku dianggap sebagai Da De (大德) dan bukan sebagai fashi (法师) menurut Ordo Satya Buddha versimu, berarti aku dalam status sebagai Tamu yang berkunjung dan harus diberikan penghormatan yang layak dong?

Salam semuanya.

Three Stalks of Hay

In the past, Shakyamuni Buddha brought his entourage of disciples to have a walk, passing the foothills of a big mountain.

The Buddha, with his wisdom eye, saw the arteries of the mountain going up and down, the three sides surrounded by water, each on the right and left side having a blocking mountain, and the grasses being fragrant and green.

The Buddha said, “On this ground, we may build 3 sarira stupas!”

Just after finishing his statement, from the sky a deity descended. The deity was Indra and he held 3 stalks of hay. Indra stuck them into the auspicious ground as pointed by the Buddha and flew up to the sky again afterwards.

Indra told the Buddha, “Three sarira stupas have been erected.”

The Buddha replied, “Thank you very much, Lord Indra!”

The disciples were astonished. How could 3 stalks of hay become 3 sarira stupas?

Sariputra smiled and said, “Why don’t we spend this night in this sarira stupas?”

The Buddha answered, “Very well.”

Therefore the Buddha guided the disciples to enter into the sarira stupas. Unexpectedly, the sarira stupas were very august. The hall was very cosmic, the palaces exquisite, the buildings stunning, the interiors had beautiful carvings. Very marvelous, they were adorned by resplendent jades, precious stones and jewels, gold and silver. The main disciples were bedazzled.

The following day.

The Buddha and the main disciples left the stupas and after walking a few steps, they turned their heads and looked over. Where were the 3 sarira stupas?

They were just the same 3 stalks of hay.

Everyone didn’t understand and asked the Buddha, “What is happening?”

The Buddha replied. “Why don’t you just ask Sariputra!”

I answered, “Illusory humans dwelling in the illusory palaces.”

In the past, Grand Master Lu discovered Mount Hu in Caotun, Nantou. He felt “Diling Renjie” that the ground was very auspicious, so he laid the “foundation stone”.

I said, “A very grand Vajragarbha Temple shall be erected here.”

So I blessed the mix of salt and rice, and spread them into the four sides.

I said, “At the four sides and eight directions are the Vajragarbha Temples!”

Thus a grand Vajragarbha Temple had been erected on Mount Hu, Caotun and it could even withstand the great earthquake since it was protected by the Maharajas of the Four Quarters (Four Heavenly Kings).
Meanwhile, the four sides and four directions, countries from all over the world, are erecting countless Vajragarbha Temples.

“Why is that so?”

I answered, “Illusory humans dwelling in the illusory palaces.”

Writing you a verse:

Do not think that what being held by Lord Indra were just stalks of hay.
If you but understand,
The three stalks were
No less than the mundane temples.
Disciples of True Buddha, worry ye not!
Never exhaust your spirits
When meet with the Buddha
You shall be liberated from the mundane and supramundane (conceptions).
