言亡慮絕 Speech Demise Thought Terminate


From Book 56.

大圓滿「立斷」Maha Perfection [Immediate Break Off or Terminate]

http://tbsn.org/chinese3/news.php?cid=23&csid=56&id=1254

Extract: This is the topic for Today's speech in Rainbow Temple, Seattle. 

　在這當中的下手處，是先須用想，想到出現在面前，然後再用「智慧空」去把這出現的淨除掉，就可以變成不可思議的大用了，有了「大用」，一下子便可頓入佛果。

在頓入佛果的時候，便是「言亡慮絕」的「立斷」。

　　「澈卻」法修成，就是「言亡慮絕」，一切了了分明，不管在行住坐臥四威儀之中，常見不可思議的境界，這不可思議的境界，原是本性本如此，去除了愚昧，一切全顯出來了。

~~~~~~~~~~
8月10日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥於西雅圖雷藏寺主持同修【阿彌陀佛本尊法】，並開示【大圓滿九次第法】中，「澈卻」的四種瑜伽。
師尊強調此本尊名號第一字應該唸【阿】，而不是電影的中所唸的【喔】！

師尊透露： 【阿彌陀佛】是【無量光】、【無量壽】也是【大醫王】！

另外，聖尊開示【大圓滿九次第法】的【澈卻】（立斷）的幾項安住之法：
1、安住須彌：不動如山
2、安住如海：佛性一味
3、安住所顯：覺受安住而不動
4、安住光明：證《無自性》，萬事萬物一一分解，皆無自性，即得解脫！
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
《佛学大词典》
言语亡、思虑绝之意。
为表现绝对悟境之语。
意谓该境界无法以言语或思虑加以分别。
言诠不及意路不到、心言路绝、绝言绝思、名言道断、离言绝虑、绝言离念、言语道断心行处灭等，皆与此同义，即表示第一义谛之境，非言说思虑所能及。
［成唯识论卷七、三论玄义卷上、中观论疏卷一末、大乘起信论义记卷中本］

《丁福保佛学大词典》
（杂语）言语亡思虑绝之意。与所谓绝言绝思，心言路绝，同义。
谓无言语可以谈，非思虑所能及也。

三论玄义上曰：‘诸法实相，言亡虑绝。’
中论疏第一末曰：‘大乘实相，言亡虑绝。’皆其例也。

GM - Cultivate from Fake to Real 师尊－以假修真


Above: GM Lu demonstrating the Mudra of Buddha Locani.

2015年7月5日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥開講「大圓滿九次第法」-彩虹雷藏寺

https://vimeo.com/132670761

Above: GM Lu demonstrating the mudra of Vairocana Buddha which is also form by Buddha Locani.

From Thursday, July 5, 2012：

简单的说：师佛讲 - 敬师 重法 实修 还有 观想 结印 持咒 就好。

一般都做不了！ 看看各级同门 过灌顶幡就能一目了然！

大部份都忙著用手或手拿著一些他们认为很重要很需要加持的去 触碰灌顶幡！

[[ From 1:56:39 of this https://vimeo.com/132671440

see how many really heed GM Lu's teachings of Mudra, Visualization & Chant Mantra! 
Hehe! Yes! This is from this morning's session in Rainbow Temple, Seattle.
How sad to see students include ordained personnel  plainly or blatantly ignoring GM Lu's teachings!!! ]]





 Below: Even a yellow-collar, VM, demonstrating the same! :)
 See from all the above screen-captures how many of the Ordained walk through the Abhiseka Banners extremely preoccupied with touching the banners with whatever they think needs "Blessing"!



Above: See one reverend keeps touching the banners on the right side?
Below: Lay students following suit! :)





师尊说过：让佛入住你的心轮！

佛怕冷吗？:) 不是！

要以佛找佛！ 以佛牵佛！以假修真！
[To employ Buddha to seek Buddha! To have Buddha leading Buddha! Cultivate from Fake to Real! ]

佛在心中时， 你只要念师佛心咒就会从心轮散发无量的光芒与众生分享！

普提心的法布施！
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is part of the speech shared this morning only.

Go enjoy the whole speech and also watch for yourselves what all grades of Students are doing and have been doing and most likely continue to be doing, against GM Lu's teachings. :)

AND I have shared similar concepts in articles too, the one quoted here is from way back in Thursday, July 5, 2012. 

Hahaha! See? An Ordained personnel must not LIE!
Sharing Authentic Dharma, One is then a True Yogi and True Reverend! 

Now, Who lied and continue to do so too?

Perlindungan Perbatasan



Ditulis oleh Lotuschef – 3 Juli 2015
Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: 结界 Boundary Protection


Mengacu ke rekaman ceramah Mahaguru Lu:


Kalau Mahaguru bilang, beliau tidak membuat perisai perlindungan perbatasan, sehingga banyak hantu yang berdiam di rumahnya.

Hahaha!

Saat aku mulai memimpin sesi sadhana di rumah ibadah setempat, aku juga memberitahu para pengurus di sana mengenai alasanku untuk tak melakukannya.

BEGITULAH! Seperti yang kamu semua ketahui, berbagai standar yang dibuat oleh administrator Ordo Satya Buddha harus dipatuhi!

Aku hanya membuat perlindungan perbatasan saat memberikan layanan pelimpahan pahala untuk orang yang meninggal dunia saja, untuk memberitahu bahwa “ini adalah sesi puja pribadi, jadi mohon hormati kekhusyukan acara ini.”

Sama halnya dengan saat aku mulai melakukan puja homa, aku hanya membuat perlindungan perbatasan untuk tungku pembakaran saja – tujuannya untuk memberitahu semuanya supaya menghormati Kesucian dan Ketulusan dalam proses persembahan kita, jadi mohon jangan menganggu.

Berbeda dengan kebanyakan orang yang membuat perisai perlindungan perbatasan sebelum bersadhana, mereka biasanya takut diganggu oleh roh atau hantu, namun aku merasa tak perlu melakukannya.

SUNGGUH! Mulai dari akhir 2009 saat aku kembali ke Singapura, aku tak menganjurkan pembuatan Perisai Perlindungan Perbatasan di saat sesi sadhana.

Saat Mahaguru Lu mengajarkan Maha Kesempurnaan (Maha Paripurna), beliau sempat memberitahu kita kalau ia tak membuat perisai perlindungan perbatasan di rumahnya. Kiranya saatnya kamu sadar diri dan seperti yang selalu kutekankan: Kamu harus tahu apa yang sedang kamu lakukan selama ini! :)

Bukankah semua insan adalah Satu dan Sama?!
Di awal sadhana, visualisasi Empat Batin Yang Tak Terhingga, sebenarnya mencakupi semua insan di enam alam transmigrasi (samsara).

Jadi di tahap itu kalau kamu paham akan arti sebenarnya dari Empat Batin Yang Tak Terhingga, kamu pasti akan dengan segala ketulusan mengundang semua insan untuk bergabung denganmu dalam bersadhana.

Lalu kenapa menggunakan Perisai Perlindungan Perbatasan untuk mengecualikan mereka?

Bila kamu punya “Kesaktian”, saat menggunakan Vajra dalam membuat Perisai Perlindungan Perbatasan pasti akan memancarkan sinar ataupun Api Vajra, dan beberapa roh akan ada yang sensitif, sehingga membuat mereka tak nyaman.

MAKA COBALAH RENUNGKAN: Akankah kamu mengundang seseorang ke acaramu, namun kemudian malah mencelakainya? :)

Dan juga bila kamu benar-benar memahami Kebijaksanaan Kesetaraan dan salah satu faktor utama Bodhicitta, kamu akan selalu waspada akan berbagai kemungkinan dari tindakanmu yang bisa saja mencelakai para insan.

Roh ataupun Hantu selalu ada di sekitar kita, dan beberapa dari mereka malah punya HAK yang lebih besar untuk tinggal di suatu tempat ketimbang kita; justru kita-lah yang menjadi penjajah yang merebut wilayah mereka.
Berpikirlah dengan cara demikian, jadilah rendah hati, marilah berbagi dan hidup dengan harmonis.

Kuharap sekarang kamu paham apa yang selama ini masih kulakukan, dan jangan menganggapku orang yang aneh dan tak masuk akal.

Meskipun pandanganmu kepadaku yang positif maupun negatif tak penting buatku, TAPI hal tersebut akan sangat mempengaruhimu dalam perjalananmu untuk menjadi Yogi Sejati!

Tentu saja semua tindakanmu adalah tanggung jawab ataupun Karma-mu sendiri, tak ada hubungannya denganku ataupun orang-orang lain.

Namun ingatlah selalu nasihat dari Mahaguru Lu: Sebelum kamu tercerahkan sepenuhnya, JANGAN PERNAH menghakimi siapapun juga!!!

DAN hal terpenting yang Mahaguru Lu ajarkan: Ketahuilah apa yang dapat/boleh kamu lakukan, dan apa yang kamu tak dapat/tak boleh lakukan.


Salam semuanya.

佛的脸－法喜充满 Buddha's Face - Filled with Dharma Joy





     

华严经 - 如来出现品第三十七 [4]
佛子！譬如世界将欲坏时，无主无作，法尔而出四种音声。

其四者何？

一曰：‘汝等当知初禅安乐，离诸欲恶，超过欲界。’
众生闻已，自然而得成就初禅，舍欲界身，生于梵天。
[Stage One of Zen Meditation - 安乐 Secure and Joyful or Happy, leaving all Evil Desires, surpass Desire Realm or Karmadhatu. 
Giving up Desire Realm form and born into Brahmakaya.]

二曰：‘汝等当知二禅安乐，无觉无观，超于梵天。’
[Without awareness or sight, surpass Brahmakaya.]
众生闻已，自然而得成就二禅，舍梵天身，生光音天。
Giving Up Brahamakaya form and born in Abhasvara.

三曰：‘汝等当知三禅安乐，无有过失，超光音天。’
众生闻已，自然而得成就三禅，舍光音身，生遍净天。
Without wrongful deeds, ascend to Abhasvara.
Giving up Abhasvara form and born in Subhakrishna 

四曰：‘汝等当知四禅寂静，超遍净天。’
众生闻已，自然而得成就四禅，舍遍净身，生广果天。
Solitary Silence, trascend Subhakrishna.
Giving up Subhakrishna form and born in Brhatphala.
~~~~~~~~~~

The above is an extract from Chapter 37 - The Appearance of The Tathagata.
It details the 4 stages of Zen Meditation. 

Hahaha! 
What's my point?

In various recent speeches, GM Lu drew reference to the Ability to Enter Samadhi!
In some instances, playfully as well :)

GM Lu has shared much on Samadhi and the stages of Zen Meditation as well.

I stated that One's aura is evidence of whether One is successful with Samadhi or not too :)

In the First 3 Stages, Secure and Joy is present.
Then ascending to a "Higher" Dhatu or Realm.

Look at GM Lu closely, He is always in Joyful state, agree? :)

Now, look at those that GM Lu playfully drew attention to.

Yes! This is a pointer to all to NOT Be Fooled!

Even the outward or external facades do not show the "Buddha's Face"!

Cheers all

三界六道二十五有 3 Realms 6 Paths 25 Existence


三界六道二十五有

http://www.fosss.org/Basic/3j6d25y.html


【三界】（术语）

凡夫生死往来之世界分为三：

一、欲界，有淫欲与食欲二欲之有情住所也。上自六欲天，中自人界之四大洲，下至无间地狱。谓之欲界。

二、色界，色为质碍之义，有形之物质也。此界在欲界之上，离淫食二欲之有情住所也。谓为身体，谓为宫殿，物质的物，总殊妙精好。故名色界。此色界由禅定之浅深粗妙分四级，称为四禅天，新曰静虑。此中或立十六天，或立十七天，或立十八天（(参见:四禅天)）。

三、无色界，此界无一色，无一物质的物，无身体，亦无宫殿国土，唯以心识住于深妙之禅定。故谓之无色。此既为无物质之世界。则其方所，非可定。但就果报胜之义，谓在色界之上。是有四天。名为四无色。又曰四空处（(参见:四空处)），说出俱舍论世间品，三界义。图表三界则如图。







FROM:【《佛学大辞典》丁福保 编】
【二十八天】

三界共有二十八天，即欲界六天，色界十八天，无色界四天。欲界六天是四王天、忉利天、夜摩天、兜率天、化乐天、他化自在天。色界十八天是梵众天、梵辅天、大梵天、少光天、无量光天、光音天、少净天、无量净天、遍净天、无云天、福生天、广果天、无想天、无烦天、无热天、善见天、善现天、色究竟天。无色界四天是空无边处天、识无边处天、无所有处天、非想非非想处天。在此三界二十八天中，只有欲界的四王天与忉利天，因依须弥山的地界而居，故称地居天，夜摩天以上，都是凌空而处，故名空居天。


　　　　　　　　　 ┌四王天
　　　　　　　　　 │忉利天

　　 └无色界天──┤识无边处天　　
　　　　　　　　　 │无所有处天
　　　　　　　　　 └非想非非想处天


FROM:【佛学常见辞汇】
【二十五有】

因为众生被无明枷系生死的锁，在行为上造了很多的业，所以不能脱离二十五有。就是在欲界有十四有，在色界有七有，在无色界有四有，总计有二十五有。

欲界的十四有：就是四恶趣【阿修罗、畜生、饿鬼、地狱】、四大洲【南赡部洲、东胜神洲、西牛货洲、北俱卢洲，在须弥山的咸水海中】、六欲天【四王天、忉利天、夜摩天、兜率天、化乐天、他化自在天】。

色界的七有：就是初禅天、二禅天、三禅天、四禅天、大梵天、净空天、无想天。

无色界的四有：就是空无边处天、识无边处天、无所有处天、非想非非想天。

破了二十五有的烦恼，名为净。破了二十五有的业，名为我。破了二十五有的报，名为乐。无二十五有的生死，名为常。这常、乐、我、净，就是涅槃四德。 佛说世间法，是无常、苦、无我、不净，这是方便法。佛说出世法，是常、乐、我、净，这是真实法。无常是众生，常是法身。苦是外道，乐是涅槃。无我是生死，我是如来。不净是有为，净是无为。

——摘自 宣化上人讲述的华严经浅释

【六趣】 （名数）

众生由业因之差别而趣向之处，有六所，谓之六趣，亦曰六道，

一地狱趣 Naraka-gati，八寒八热等之苦处也，此在地下，故曰地狱。

二饿鬼趣 Preta-gati，常求饭食之鬼类生处也。与人趣杂处而不可见。

三畜生趣 Tiryagyoni-gati，新译曰旁生趣，即禽兽之生所也，多以人界为依所而眼可见。

四阿修罗趣 Asura-gati，常怀嗔心而好战斗，大力神之生所也。以深山幽谷为依所而与人隔离。

五人趣 Manusya-gati，人类之生所也，分阎浮提等四大州，但四大洲隔离，不得通力者不能到。

六天趣 Deva-gati，身有光明，自然受快乐之众生，名为天，有欲界六所，谓之六欲天，色界无色界，皆为彼之生所。

大乘义章八末曰：“此六种，经名为趣，亦名为道。所言趣者，盖乃对因以名果也。因能向果，果为因趣，故名为趣。所言道者，从因名也。善恶两业通人至果，名之为道。地狱等报为道所诣，故名为道。”法华经序品曰：“尽见彼土六趣众生。”涅槃经二十五曰：“以心因缘故，轮回六趣具受生死。”

造塔功德不可思议 Merits of Building Stupas are Unimaginable


Terjemahan Indonesia: Pahala Membangun Stupa Sungguh Tak Terbayangkan


Above: Stupas and lotus from incense paper printed with Usnisa Vijaya Dharani.
The lotus that I offered at the local chapter is from only yellow coloured incense paper. The other coloured paper were printed in 2010, after I became ordained as reverend. 

Chat: 
See this people in Miri, Sarawak making incense stupas with the usnisa dharani pasted on them.
The stupas are basically white but the dharani is printed in different colours
can the white thingy be white plaster from white clay?
Have a good look:)

** [I hope they are not plastics which if burned emit poisonous gases and not environmental friendly :) ]

They enumerates the goodness of building stupas too!
 

Above & Below: This stupas has 2 Dharani! :)


I kept seeing lots of golden stupas surrounding me after Friday's homa! :)

2009: I remembered the first time I offered the stupas at a local chapter to Ksiti while they have their once a month ksiti sutra chanting session.

I donated $20/- to offering
Folded lots of lotuses and stupas in offering to all spirits and my ancestors.

During Samadhi, I saw that each petals of the lotuses are filled with "people".
The stupas rise up into Heavens in golden glory and each deck of each level also filled with "people" standing around the outer deck.

Hahaha! Stupas and lotuses are really fantastic offering to all.

cheers

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

English translation inserted by Lotuschef.
Quoted from: 大马真佛宗美里华德同修会

造塔功德不可思议

「尊胜佛塔能够鎮一切地丶水丶火丶風的災難，利益無量眾生」。
Usnisa Vijaya's Buddha Stupa can stabilised all calamities of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, benefiting immeasurable sentient beings.

「造塔可以轉移因果，甚至獲得來世轉生諸天天主的功德」。
Building Stupa can divert Karma, even can get to be reborn in the Various Heavens with merits of Heavenly Masters.

佛塔即代表「諸佛的宫殿」而佛即代表身口意之清淨。
Buddha Stupa thus represent [Palaces of all Buddhas], and Buddhas in turn represent Pure Body Speech Mind.

因此不論是頂禮或繞佛塔及壇城，自然能獲得無量的功德。
Thus, whether you pay homage prostration or circle the stupa or altar, naturally can receive immeasurable merits.


因此密教祖師阿底峽尊者開示道∶「在世間上所有的有為善法之中，没有比轉繞佛塔所獲得福德更大的了」。
Thus, Tantric ancestral guru, Atisha, shared in his dharma speech: in this sentient realm, from within all Virtuous dharma, none can rival the great merits from circling Buddha Stupa.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Hahaha! Interesting?

You can learn how to fold the stupa shown above too. :)

However, do remember: Sincere offering!

Offering not for a motive like getting more merits for SELF!

For Self is not Buddha!


Cheers all.

结界 Boundary Protection


Terjemahan Indonesia: Perlindungan Perbatasan


Referring to the recorded sermon:


GM said that He don't do Boundary Protection and there's lots of ghosts in his house.

Hahaha!

When I started to lead cultivation in local chapters, I also informed the chapter's administrators about my reason for not doing so.

YES! as you all know, Standards set by TBS' admin must be adhered to!

I only do Boundary Protection for White matter services, to let on that "This is a private function, please respect the solemnity of the session."

When I started to do Homas, I do Boundary Protection for the Fire Pit only, telling all to respect the Purity and Sincerity of our Offering process, please do not disturb.

Unlike most that does Boundary Protection before cultivation, fearing the disturbances from Spirits or Ghosts, I do not believe that theres a need to do so.

YES! From as far back as end of 2009, when I returned to Singapore, I do not advocate Boundary Protection for cultivation session.

With GM Lu's sharing of Maha Perfection, and he telling us that he don't do Boundary Protection at Home too, its time to wake up and as I have always stress: Know what you are doing all the time! :)

Now, All Beings are One & the Same.
At the beginning of cultivation, The 4 Immeasurable Visualisation, actually involves all beings of the 6 Realms of transmigration.

So, at this stage if you understand the true meaning of 4 Immeasurable, then you will be sincerely inviting all beings to join in cultivation.
Why use Boundary Protection then to exclude any being then?

If you have "Power", the use of Vajra in Boundary Protection will produce light or Vajra Fire, that some spirits are sensitive to, which make them uncomfortable.

THINK: Would you invite someone to your party and then cause this someone harm? :)

Also if you truly understand the Wisdom of Equality and one of its major factor of Boddhicitta, you will always be aware of possible harm or discomfort your action might caused.

Spirits or Ghosts are all around us, and some have more RIGHTS to be in a certain place than us, and we are the invaders that seize their Territories.
Think of it this way and be humble and share and live in harmony.

I hope by now, most of you understand what I have been and am still practicing and not make me out to be a weirdo or deem me unsuitable and etc.

Although your positive or negative views of me is of no import to me, BUT they are of import to your progress along the path to be a True Yogi!

Yes. All your deeds are your very own responsibility or Karma, nothing to do with me or anyone else.

Heed GM Lu's advice: Before you are fully enlightened, DO NO pronounced judgment on anyone!!!

AND the Most Important factor that GM Lu shared: Know what you can do and what you can't!


Cheers all
