White Tara’s Long Life Mantra:
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Mama Ahyu Punye Jnana Puktrim Kuru So Ha
Mama: “me”
Ayu: “life”
Punye: “merit”
Jnana: “Wisdom”
Puktrim Kuru: “Increase”
Meaning of Tara’s seed syllable: TAM
Quote from Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, The Practice of Green Tara.Symbolic meaning of the seed syllable TAM is birthlessness, that phenomena are unborn (kye me, Tib).
This refers to the unborn nature of all the Taras and to the simplicity & unconditioned quality of the dharmakaya.
Because the deity is unborn, she is beyond all conditions.
To use the words of Gampopa, it is said that nirvana is in essence empty,
and is unestablished or non-existent.
In its manifestation or appearance it is blissful.
Samsara is in essence empty, and unestablished or non-existent, and in its appearance or
manifestation is of the nature of suffering and confusion.
From the ultimate point of view they are the same in that they are both empty and unestablished.
From a relative viewpoint, however, they are different in that samsara is suffering resulting from ignorance,
and nirvana is happiness resulting from the absence of ignorance.
and nirvana is happiness resulting from the absence of ignorance.
This ultimate, unborn, and empty nature of samsara and nirvana is what is meant by the syllable
TAM.
TAM.

盧勝彥手的魔力 - 就是這位法師
蓮生活佛著作 ＞ 盧勝彥文集 ＞ 236_盧勝彥手的魔力
我有一位弟子，因車禍，足部骨折，被送到醫院，躺在病榻上。
這病房是二個人的病房，另外一位是手足痙攣，癱瘓的病人。
二個人的病房，中間只隔一個簾布。簾布有時也打開，二位病人互通姓名：
弟子姓錢。
癱瘓病人姓余。
這位癱瘓症的病患已十多年了。
因其兄姊都是富貴人家，先出巨資延請名醫看診，但均告無效。
最後乃送醫院休養，以終餘年。
手足不能動，但，頭還清楚。
自己與兄姐都絕望了。
錢姓弟子，在病榻的上頭，貼上「盧師尊」的法相。
每日誦《高王經》。
唸「根本上師心咒」。
說也奇怪的事情發生了———
那位余姓的癱瘓病人，自從錢姓病患入住，每晚均可見，有一位法師施施然進入病房，門沒有開啟，他就進來了。
這位法師伸手摩錢姓病患的腳，骨折之處，摩完就飄逸而去。
有一回，法師摩完骨折病患，轉頭看了癱瘓病人，微微一笑。
余癱瘓病人也善意的微微一笑。
這位法師走了過來，用手摩了癱瘓病人的全身。
摩完，又飄逸的走了！
怪的是———
錢姓弟子腳的骨折，很快就好了！
他就要出院了。
他將床頭的「盧師尊」法相取下來，準備帶著走。
那位余姓癱瘓者喚住他。
說：「那法相，我看看。」
錢說：「那是我的盧師尊。」
余看了法相，說：「就是這位法師。每晚都到病榻，替你按摩骨折，也來按摩我的手足。我看得一清二楚，你看看我的手足痙攣，好像一天比一天鬆了，我請你把法相貼我床頭，還有把唸的經、唸的咒教我。拜託！拜託！」
錢很好心。
把法相貼余床頭。
把「心咒」教他。
把一本《高王經》送他。
錢就拜別了余。
此事經過了半年。
錢想到這件事，路過醫院時，便去拜訪那位住院時，癱瘓的余。
想不到———
余也出院了。
醫師說：「原本絕望的病患，手足痙攣竟然漸漸鬆了。不只如此，每日唸咒，每日誦經，最後手足就能動了。也不知道為什麼都能動，最後竟然下床走路。」
所以，出院了！
錢問：「法相呢？」
醫師答：「他送給另一位病患！」

諸事不宜
蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第225冊
有黃彬夫婦，是我的弟子，妻子有身孕，非常欣喜。他們請我擇日期，要做剖腹生產，其預產期是九月十四日左右。
我請「瑤池金母」擇日，金母指示，九月九日可以剖腹生產。於是，我告訴了黃彬夫婦，他們非常的高興，是盧師尊請「瑤池金母」擇的日，所以他們毫無異議。
但，回家後，卻碰到難題。
黃彬的父親很頑固，他說：
「不行！」
「為什麼不行？」黃彬問。
父親回答：
「該日你母親的忌日。」（其母早逝）
「忌日有何不可？」
「不行就不行。」黃彬的父親說。
黃彬的父親又說：
「我查了黃曆，九月九日，日值大耗，諸事不宜。你師父是怎麼搞的，難道連諸事不宜都不知道嗎？」
「是瑤池金母指示的。」黃彬說。
「管他是瑤池金母或不是瑤池金母，諸事不宜就是諸事不宜，白紙黑字，你還強辯？請你師父重新擇日吧！」
黃彬也查了黃曆，果然是「諸事不宜」。
怎辦？
黃彬只好硬著頭皮，來告訴我父親的意見，請我重新擇日。
我淡然一笑。
我問：
「你會〈吉祥頌〉嗎？」
黃彬答：
「會。日吉祥，夜吉祥，一日六時恆吉祥，一切吉祥之中者，祈請上師加持，本尊攝受，護法垂護。」
「你唸三遍，不就得了！」
黃彬說：
「我父親固執，他不會聽的。他堅持說：『諸事不宜就是諸事不宜。』他自己看黃曆，九月十二日，沒有沖剋，而且是日德、月德，要那一天，他才會滿意。」
我說：
「既然如此，那就隨順你父親吧！九月十二日就九月十二日。」
黃彬說：
「對不起！」
我說：
「沒關係的，全家人滿意才好，我不介意。」
到了九月九日下午。
黃彬大叫：
「盧師尊神算有夠準！有夠準！九月九日，清晨，妻子陣痛厲害，送到醫院，自然生產了。生下一名胖胖的男嬰，有夠準！有夠準！」
我淡然一笑：
「好好唸《高王經》七遍，迴向給嬰兒吧！」
我說，我個人不是很迷信的人，我是「有法有破」。不管是「日耗」、「月耗」、「諸事不宜」，我是毫無禁忌的人。
我是一位功夫到了頂極，一切的神算，是有「徵候」、有「效驗」的，不能信口雌黃，隨便亂講，空空洞洞的。
我確信瑤池金母的指示，這是有訊息來，我才會講了出來。
我的神算是：
「對境無心。」
「心中有 宝。」

蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第198冊 - 吉祥頌
┆蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第198冊
└┈┈┈┈⌣̊┈̥-̶̷̴̯͡✽̶┈┈┈┈⌣̊┈̥-̶̷̯͡
時輪金剛有一「吉祥頌」，是這樣的：
願晝吉祥夜吉祥。晝夜六時恆吉祥。
一切時中吉祥者。願諸上師常加持。
願諸三寶哀納受。願諸護法常擁護。
三寶一切俱吉祥。
我從這「吉祥頌」之中，悟得：
「夢成就」。
「幻身成就」。
「中陰成就」。
「即身成就」。
「三寶成就」。
。。。。
我知道「吉祥頌」的真諦──
我在「夢成就」中，能修行，能飛行，能精進，能吉祥。
我在「幻身成就」中，能神行，能十方現身，能救度眾生，能吉祥。
我在「中陰成就」中，能潔淨，能放大光明，能轉識成智，能吉祥。
我在「即身成就」中，能成就佛身，能遊行十方佛國，能成就悉地，
我在「三寶成就」中，能任運，集佛、法、僧於一身，任行十法界，
我得解脫道。
我得菩提道。
一切吉祥！
I love to sing this one.
Sang for SZ once back in 2009 when in Seattle.
It is good too for True Buddha Repentance at the Samadhi stage when we do the 空花云海 - showers of flowers amidst a sea of clouds. The yogi is sitting on one such cloud with Divinities showering light in forms of stars-like flowers upon one.

Lotuschef in Chat – Greed & Needs
Terjemahan Indonesia: Lotuschef Bercakap-cakap – Antara Serakah dan Butuh
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 in Chat - Perseverance Dharma of Non-Arising 无生法忍
AA: english transmission in the beginning was very bad due to technical difficulties
it went good from the mid part
the sermon was spooky lol
this is GM really backing you all the way
LC: hehe! it was all about "I don't care" & I am not bothered at all
the avatamsaka sutra [chapter 29 - 华严经十忍品第二十九] that I shared yesterday real good as one of them is about 10 ways of perseverance & real enlightening is you can do them!
especially 无生法忍 perseverance Dharma of non arising or no birth
when things or matter don't arise or get born, there is nothing that will bother a person
so transformation of matter into Non-existent is the key
as in Diamond sutra, No Forms then everything don't matter n won‘t affect one at all
何以故？[Why?]
若无生则无灭，若无灭则无尽，若无尽则离垢，若离垢则无差别，若无差别则无处所，若无处所则寂静，若寂静则离欲，若离欲则无作，若无作则无愿，若无愿则无住，若无住则无去无来。
[If none arise then none to terminate, if none to terminate then none to exhaust; none to exhaust then leave filth, if leave filth then become no differentiation, hence no attachment arriving at tranquil silence, leaving desires/cravings, resulting in no action, then no wishes and non-abiding to no go and no come.]
是名：菩萨摩诃萨第三无生法忍。

AA: lol. that's the difficult part as people are enshrouded by habitual tendencies.
but the statement is really the key!
found new motifs for new crown and robes haha.
let's see new ones when it's finished
“佛子！云何为菩萨摩诃萨无生法忍？[Perseverance Dharma of Non Arising or No Birth]
佛子！此菩萨摩诃萨不见有少法生，亦不见有少法灭。
but the statement is really the key!
found new motifs for new crown and robes haha.

Extract:-
佛子！此菩萨摩诃萨不见有少法生，亦不见有少法灭。
[This Boddhisattva do not see any Dharma arising and also none terminate.]
何以故？[Why?]
若无生则无灭，若无灭则无尽，若无尽则离垢，若离垢则无差别，若无差别则无处所，若无处所则寂静，若寂静则离欲，若离欲则无作，若无作则无愿，若无愿则无住，若无住则无去无来。
