Lotuschef at Play - Qi Mobilization & Longevity


In Offering, I deployed Qi too, to send the offering upwards and transform the offering into Golden-yellow Light.


NN: yes!that is the most important key!

i've find in their forum said that one must have a compassionate heart to others & good mind otherwise the energy (or what, i forgot :p) will turn wild/bad inside (can meh?as i know the universal energy is netral-not evil or good).

purity of mind = hard homework for laypeople.


Lotuschef: Dear all, Please go listen to Guru's recent speeches on Qi.
To move Qi, One needs to practice regularly the basics.

Guru said: 心平气和 When Heart/Mind is stable, Qi also Harmonized.

心情烦躁 When Heart/Mind is Irritable and Emotions are heated.

There is a crucial bond between One's Mind and Qi mobilization.

It is not really Energy turning bad, but the Mind is unstable because of anger or hatred or desires..etc. Therefore the Qi in one's body is "darting here & there" , One's heart beat increases bringing about increases in breathing rhythm. So heartbeat and breathing counts all increases, bringing along increases in blood pressure in the circulatory system. This is medical science. 

One really can't help anyone if he/she can't control his own Qi, because of his/her own emotional instability.

In the first [Qi Mobilization] article, AA identified the 3 important factors: Mind; Qi; Boddhicitta. 

They are Interlockingly Linked or Bonded together. 
Purity of Mind? Hahaha! 
No thoughts or No disturbing or irritating thoughts, or only one of Boddhicitta to mobilize Qi to help others.
In Boddhicitta, Qi is used to mobilize Universal energy, mostly in the form of light waves to share with others or to help clear stagnant or blocked areas in the subject's body.

Qi and Universal Energy is 2 different entity and Universal Energy has no fixed characteristics of evil or good. It is the Human Mindset of controlling Universal Energy for Selfish purpose that made  most think that the energy is evil. 

Like the Maoshan attack on Guru recently.
The Evil mind to harm Guru; the Maoshan practitioner's greed for money; the knowledge of Guru's bio-data (birth date & exact time); Guru's personal effects (hair follicles or skin cells or blood or worn clothing); all these are requisites. 

The Maoshan practitioner is able to harm Guru because of the "Personal items & data" given to him. However, bear in mind that people who practices dark arts to harm will answer very heavy karma. 
Lets us say Universal energy is like Money. Money is not evil in itself, however, the usages can be for evil or good.

For the Moashan "attack", a great achiever like Guru can ward it off or "reflect" it all back to the Maoshan and his pay-master or void to the Universe. 
Guru talks about his yidams and Dharmapalas, telling him about what is going to happen in the future. Did you hear this?
Means he knowingly try out the "attack" to test it's strength.

This morning's article, [Black Magic], Guru actually taught me how to move myself to another plane, or disappeared from my existing "bio-data". 
There are the 5-Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Earth and Fire. 
There are 5-planes of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind & Void. 
We can combine them and switch around, therefore, to the Maoshan, we do not exist anymore.
Hehe! I survived Maoshan attacks before I take refuge with Guru, therefore, certain aspects of Moashan practices were explained to me by some masters.

Therefore Guru teach me not to reflect all attacks back to origin, but just [move out of their firing range], thats all!

Even lethal and probably fatal attacks like these, Guru also maintain Boddhicitta. Therefore, how can Guru ever endorse or sanction any rebuttals or attacks to the defamators? 

I sincerely hope that all Guru's True students, stopped all actions against the defamers immediately, you are creating negative karma for Self only. 

I also sincerely urge all those that defame and 'attack' My Root Guru, to halt all your evil ways. As I said, I am not as professional as my Guru and might inadvertently reflect all 'attacks' back to origin. Also Guru's yidams and dharmapalas might act against you too! 

Cheers all.

NN: 谢谢法师的指点和改正

LC: Amituofo.
You are most welcome.
Many think I am mad and talk rubbish though!
Hahaha.

NN: Hehe..just because One different with others (against the stream) doesn't mean he/she is mad/crazy. You are unique, dear Fashi. The wright brothers also being said as mad/crazy by them who can't accept other (new/different) method.
Btw fashi, have u ever heard about http://longevitology.org/about.html
The method a bit similar with the qi mobilization from ur article

LC: Hi dear
the Methods are the same but can do it or not, really depends on the individual's sincerity n efforts.
Well those defaming shizun said he is all bluff n he copied others.
aren't we all learning things that some one else has created, discovered, ....?
Nothing better to say so talk rubbish!

For example this site talks about Qi usages quite like mine, and they share first, so I am a copycat? hahaha!

Now AA found a book on Qi by Padmasambhava, so we all copy from Guru Rinpoche?
:)

Dear all, the site shared by NN is interesting, go and have a look. I think this is very popular all over, as there are some Malaysian, UK, and etc. students helping others with these techniques. Well, at least they are NON PROFIT Organisation. 

Of course, you have to make your own decision and do not say that I recommended that you all go and try or learn from them. 

I am able to mobilize Qi through cultivation, therefore, all from personal choice.
I know of people than can open certain channels but I have no idea how. 
Please listen to Guru with regards to opening of chakras though. 
Like Raising spirits practice, these are High Risk methods and caution is required. 
I would still advocate gradual cultivation and not rely on external sources.
Purity of Mind is required for Meditation anyway, can you? 

Cheers all

Lotuschef in Chat - Power of Guru's Mantra

See how happy is our dear Root Guru?
You can find the same Happiness too!

AA:
#2 with his total control over TBS hehehe.
Very funny.

Oh ya, I forgot to tell you about the following.
I've got a friend and his two nephews who are actually very yin.
My friend can sense the ghost but his nephews (still little kids) can actually see them and very tired of it.
The ghosts follows them and the nephew said: "uncle, a lady with very big eyes are following me around" ahahaha. He's also hyperactive.

They are moslems and some time ago have been reciting their prayers but to no avail. It seemed the frequency didn't change and they still see the ghosts.

I sympathised with him and taught him accordingly to recite Guru's mantra and subsequently he taught his two nephews.
I got the chance to chat with him several days ago and asked the progress.
He said: "We don't see ghosts any longer, and my hyperactive nephew is now calmer."

I hope in the future lives, they will meet again with Guru and establish a stronger bond.

Cheers :)

I feel... sometimes I feel... although I can't recognise what his holiness is feeling exactly,
but he is sort of letting his students learn as time goes by,
as the time compression of past, present and future doesn't exist.

and I feel that people with a scary, greedy and suspicious mindset are the ones who are the most difficult to teach.
Yes, tendencies are really something...


LC: Guru already said Allah is Brahma, so really no difference.
The difference is in their hearts n fear that they get ostracized by their mosque or those in their religion.

Like the current TBS' supporters; what they are supporting is [to segregate others they do not like or deem unsuitable] for TBS!
They are also closing all doors on these group of sentient beings, the defamers, too!
So can they call themselves Buddha's students?
Hahaha

Dear all, my point in this article is that there are much much more meaningful ways to spend your time then to create negative karma for self. 

Bear responsibilities yourself and wake up please and walk away.
Chanting Guru's mantra, you can dedicate to all and this is True Boddhicitta of sharing good with all.
Don't make Guru's task of succoring all beings more uphill than necessary.

Always See Good & Use Good to Counter Evil. 
If I seem to scold you or criticize you, you are in Luck, I spend so much time on you! :)

Hahaha!

Lotuschef at Play - When Religion Immerse Into Politics


The Gold Mani Gem on a Lotus Throne, bring forth Infinite Wisdom for the betterment of all.

We have seen how some religious "heads" seized power and control of a whole country.
We have seen blood-shed.

Now, I would like to request that readers go and look at photos of these Religious Heads that made themselves "Kings"!

Do you see the loving and caring gaze of a "representative of god"?
Guru said that all Buddha's and Boddhisattva's gazes give warmth and comfort and caring.
I also advised all to "run away" when someone gives you very very scary or bad vibes, in their glances or their body languages.

What is our chairman in TBS' committee doing nowadays?
Have a good look at him?
How rounded and huge are his eyes?
Notice how his eyes can "slice" you up?
Have Boddhicitta in his glance?
I can't share how to really study him fully though, as Guru only share the Eye & Gaze.

Why did a True Representative of God, the creator of the universe, wants to rule over a country?
Why did some of these self proclaimed representatives, want to control and dictate others' lives?

They are not True Representatives of GOD or any Universal Divinities!
They wreck havoc in human lives and all other life forms on this earth, they are deluded by something false call "Power".

Where do you find any statements in the holy books and Dharanis that "An Individual" can have the "Power of God" to take lives and destroy Harmony and Nature?

See my point? Hahaha! Of course, you might believe that being controlled is good and being dictated to is good too. You do not need to use your brains at all! :)

My Root Guru, (as you, the reader, might not share the same as me), discourages all forms of disharmony and disruption of Nature.

However, some of his students did just to the contrary!

[I chanced to find guru's speech and translated the part for the forum, in hoping that they understand what guru is wishing and teaching them about "forgetting" and "no discrimination":

{{In the case of controversies among humans, please heed my words: actually there isn’t a single problem at all. Try to ponder this, Grand Master is explaining about emptiness and illusion, giving you an example: in the night during your bedtime, you are dreaming of you being butchered by other persons; after all, do you think you can hate those who slaughter you? By the time you wake up in the following morning, “Oh! Turns out it is just a dream. Ah forget it then.” You won’t blame those who harm you in the dream anyway.

Human life is also like a dream, therefore please do not blame anyone. Towards other people, you should appreciate the solidarity as it is very precious! To correct yourself and perform your cultivation by yourself are the most salient things. Grand Master surely cannot substitute other to cultivate.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, the one who cultivates is the one who accomplishes the result.}}

I, honestly, have been learning a lot from the translation works.]


It is YOU, and YOU only that dictates where you are going, TO Heaven or TO Hell?
It is all a DREAM!

Lotuschef in Dream - Black Magic?


hi buddies
after posting the article qi mobilization, I suddenly felt very sleepy and I know Guru have something to show me
hahaha! some kind of signal for me to go lie down.

so I chant guru mantra 108 times n did only 3x of usnisa n too sleepy to stay awake liao

[Something made me go outside my house and look.
about One foot from my back door, I saw a 50cents and a 10cents coins
As I wanted to pick them up, I can feel they are hot. So I turned and get a piece of paper, in order to pick them up. however, it was then a clay dome sort of rose out of the ground with the two coins on the top.
The dome is like one panel of the 5-buddha crown in shape and rounded with sharp point on top
Its is greyish clay and inside is a furnace which is very very hot, like those in the Potteries whereby the bake the finished moulded clay objects.


Guru said: Do not touch the coins!

This is yet another 'Black magic'" kind of stuff people can do to "burn" their subjects!
The value of the coins is very small and most people would not have second thoughts of picking them up and also they are on one's doorstep!

This is utterly scary lol!

Then we walked around the structure as it grew bigger and Guru led me out of this one to safety.
This place is very special and I just can't describe it.
It has lots of stored treasures piled up all around but the dazzle don't make one greedy to grab at them.
They just make one feel very cosy-like; very comfortable with the light they emit. Sort of a special cosy haven. ]



I think, it has relevance to Guru's speech on Sunday. Most will go after the small fortune and neglect the greater ones of wisdom and freedom from Samsara or even the Fires of Hell.


I wake up and is fully alert again after the dream.
:)
Nice dream!
cheers

Lotuschef at Play - Qi mobilization [2]

Offering/Blessing  and Healing





In top picture, I am helping this student to send offerings upwards and then draw blessing downwards.
Now how to go about it?
As Guru said: The all important Qi /wind energy.

How do we mobilize this Qi around?
Control and regulate your breathing by cultivating 9-steps Breathing Techniques taught by Guru, of course!

Now let us look at the 2nd or lower picture.
What am I doing?
This student is not well and she almost faint.
Fear seized her and her breathing becomes erratic.
Her condition become worse with insufficient oxygen and she hyperventilates.

To stabilize her, I asked her and everyone to chant mantra loudly to force her to fix her mind on chanting mantra.
I drew air or Qi and mobilize them through my Right hand to her lung base at her back, and help her to clear the stale and stagnant air/Qi there.
The light orbs all drawn to help as well, as the loud sound of chanting sort of invoke them to that location and the Qi I drew also sort of signalled that Qi energy is needed HERE.

Basic is draw with Breathing In and hold to mobilize within One's own body and exhale to mobilize to others' bodies. 

Now try out and if you find it useful, practice more often.

I will share more in other articles. Stay tune! :)

Lotuschef Bercakap-cakap – Kekuatan Spiritual [3] Mahamudra

Guru Padmasambhava bermanifestasi menjadi Guru Dragpur
Image © Corbis

Ditulis oleh Lotuschef – 25 Oktober 2012
Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: Lotuschef in chat – Power [3] 大手印 Mahamudra
Sumber petikan materi: Mahamudra (Wikipedia)


Baca juga: Lotuschef in School – Rediscovering Mahamudra 1

Mahamudra mengacu pada cara orang yang telah merealisasikan mahamudra (ia yang telah berhasil melatih mahamudra) mengalami realitas:
Mudra – yaitu setiap fenomena nampak dengan jelas,
Maha – melampaui konsep, imajinasi, dan proyeksi.

Pertama, mahamudra bisa mengacu pada pasangan wanita si praktisi dalam sadhana yoga seksual.

Ke-dua, seperti sebelumnya, ia adalah salah satu dari sebuah urutan mudra yang berhubungan dengan berbagai macam konsep, pengalaman, dan tahap-tahap di dalam Buddhisme. Di sini, yang dimaksudkan lebih ke arah bagian akhir dari sebuah seri, sebuah realisasi langsung akan sifat sejati pikiran dan realitas yang melampaui dan menyempurnakan segel-segel lain yang lebih konvensional (lazim), yang juga meliputi yoga seksual yang aktual ataupun yang menggunakan visualisasi.

Ke-tiga, Mahamudra sendiri punya makna: kebenaran, realisasi, atau pencapaian tertinggi dari sadhana tantra yogini: segel agung yang menandai semua fenomena dan pengalaman; ekuivalen dengan “yang demikianlah adanya” (tathata), kesamaan, kekosongan (shunyata), ruang, dan Dewi Nairatmya (ia yang tanpa ego); kebahagiaan yang tak berubah yang melampaui obyek dan subyek, bentuk, pikiran, ataupun ekspresi; dan pencapaian pengetahuan (gnostik) tertinggi, mahamudra-siddhi.

Praktek Meditasi Mahamudra

Nasihat dan panduan dari seorang guru yang berkualifikasi dianggap sangat penting dalam mempelajari dan melatih meditasi mahamudra. Sering kali mahamudra (khususnya mahamudra inti) akan diawali dengan instruksi yang menunjukkan kunci-kunci utama.

Empat yoga mahamudra

Mahamudra terkadang dibagi menjadi empat tahap tersendiri yang dikenal sebagai Empat Yoga Mahamudra (Bhs. Sansekerta: catvāri mahāmudrā yoga, Transliterasi Wylie: phyag rgya chen po’i rnal ‘byor bzhi).
Mereka adalah sebagai berikut:
  1. Konsentrasi (Bhs. Sansekerta: ekāgra, Bhs. Tibet: rtse gcig)
  2. Kesederhanaan/Tanpa Sandiwara (Bhs. Sansekerta: niṣprapāncha, Bhs. Tibet: spros bral) yang “bebas dari kerumitan atau kompleksitas”.
  3. Satu Rasa (Bhs. Sansekerta: samarasa, Bhs. Tibet: ro gcig)
  4. Non-meditasi (Bhs. Sansekerta: abhāvanā, Bhs. Tibet: sgom med) – kondisi yang tidak melekat pada obyek meditasi ataupun si meditator sendiri. Tak ada lagi yang perlu ‘dimeditasikan’ atau ‘dilatih’ di tahap ini.

Empat yoga mahamudra ada hubungannya dengan lima tahap di dalam Mahayana (Bhs. Sansekerta: pañcamārga) sebagai berikut:
  1. Pra-yoga eksternal dan internal: tahap mengumpulkan bekal
  2. Konsentrasi: tahap aplikasi
  3. Kesederhanaan: tahap melihat dan sebagian besar ada pada tahap meditasi (bhumi satu hingga enam)
  4. Satu Rasa: bagian akhir dari tahap meditasi, sebagian besar ada pada tahap ‘tanpa belajar lagi’ (bhumi tujuh hingga sembilan)
  5. Non-meditasi: bagian akhir dari tahap ‘tanpa belajar lagi’ (bhumi sepuluh) dan kebuddhaan (bhumi sebelas hingga tiga belas)
---

Teman-teman sekalian yang terkasih,

Kekuatan spiritual? Demi hal tersebut, kamu harus menukarnya dengan Usaha yang tekun, rajin, dan tulus, yang setara atau bahkan lebih besar!

Fondasi [1. Pra-yoga eksternal dan internal: tahap mengumpulkan bekal], apakah sudah dibangun?
Teman-teman perhatikan, di atas ditulis Eksternal & Internal, bukan sekedar Eksternal, yang Guru bilang kalau banyak yang hanya MENIRU diriya.

[2. Konsentrasi: tahap aplikasi] – berapa banyak dari kalian yang mengejar LEBIH DARI SATU YIDAM?
Guru baru-baru ini mengulanginya lagi, kamu pergi mengejar berbagai abhiseka, memangnya bisa melatih SEMUANYA?
Setujukah kalau ternyata KAMU yang merintangi dirimu sendiri?

Janganlah mengejar KEKUATAN SPIRITUAL, karena ia hanya muncul demi alasan Kemudahan untuk Menyelamatkan Semua Insan saja!

Kenapa ada beberapa orang yang diberikan instruksi khusus saat mereka bersadhana? Karena mereka benar-benar menjalani sumpah yang diambilnya saat berlindung (bersarana) untuk berusaha sebaik mungkin membabarkan Buddha Dharma demi kebaikan para insan!

Ini adalah Samaya antara Guru dan Murid, untuk menggunakan ajaran-ajaran Guru demi memberi manfaat bagi semuanya!

Oleh karenanya, janganlah membangun kastil di atas udara (mimpi di siang bolong), realistislah dan ketahuilah apa dan ke mana kamu melangkah selanjutnya.

Lotuschef at Play - Buddhist Institution or Commercial Organisation?

These are my personal experiences, yours might not be the same.
The abbot of a local monastery greeted me one morning: Shijie, you didn't visit for quite some time already.
I said: Good morning, da shi-fu.
He smiled and walked away.
An old lady that I befriended for some time while doing voluntary work came over, and she said: When I greeted him, he (meaning the abbot) ignored me. More than one time already, however, he walked over to greet you and talk to you. He is very 'big small eye'!

I started to observe the abbot from then on! :)
During the festive seasons, many aged followers would knee in front of the abbot and offer him 'red-packet', however, his expression and body language is one of being very bored.
However, when the ones greeting him are those VIPs, he put on a smile and make his way to greet them!

One such VIP came and she happened to sit on one of the chair we moved over for special purposes. Therefore a member of my team went and ask her to vacate the chair.
This VIP shouted for the person in charge of equipment and she asked him: I can't even sit on a chair in this temple which I supported for the past decade? The temple is so poor that can't even let me rest on a chair?..........

Hahaha! I thought when I joined TBS, things will be different!

During my training in Seattle, I witnessed first hand, many occurrences that are no different from the local temple. When following Guru around Taiwan and then HongKong and Australia, on & off, for about 3 months; things are even more interestingly preposterous!!!
Finally to cap all these, Jakarta in 2011!!!
They even have VVIPs, not just VIPs! Hahaha!

Question: does these people that financially support temples, know that if they expect special treatment then their merits of supporting Sanghas to propagate Buddha Dharma and succor sentient beings, all gone down the drains?

Like the question I asked a student, if your money to support certain Sangha is used to pay for hits at your Guru, would you still continue?

Actually, most people think that Guru is not aware of all these going on. However, did you hear Guru jokingly said: O! VVIPs!!!

The masters that pushed aside Sanghas and let these VVIPs or VIPs sit on chair on level with them and high above Sanghas are really in big trouble.
Hahaha! Seems not many truly understand Disciplines but think to use them as Threats to subdue others or penalize those that don't obey them!

My humble advice to those VVIPs or VIPs, raising yourself above Sanghas actually made you breach disciplines of disrespect for Sanghas.
A student sitting on the same dining table with me and a group of Sanghas while in Hongkong, asked one Sangha pointedly out loud: Are you the one that the paparazzi caught yawning on camera? You bring shame to our sector! ............
She didn't even listen to the NO from her victim, and she fired.
We are sitting at a table beside Guru. Think Guru didn't hear her? :)
She is pretty famous and the subject of the defamers too!

Her rudeness to Sanghas and her regular companion's, went unnoticed by the Dharmapalas?
Hahaha!

Buddha said without Affinity, we can't help them. As their karmic negatives prevent them from understanding Dharma.

However, even the ordinated sanghas and masters seem to embrace Sentient Material more than Buddha Dharma!!!

Anyway, Guru speech yesterday was very illuminating about people not interested in Wisdom but blinded by Fortune Deities.
So, most of those "people" are students and they are chasing Sentient Material more that Cultivation  to free themselves from Samsara!

Guru said, actually with Wisdom you can accumulate more wealth!!!
Think on this statement.
In my humble opinion, most students in TBS are not interested in Cultivation and also didn't know the True Purpose of Cultivation!
Hahaha! Think you realized the Enormity of Guru's task to succor all? :)

Lotuschef in Chat - Guru's Mantra






Good Day Dear Fashi!

In these two days, when i reciting GM heart's mantra, don't know why i started to visualize that there lots of GM orbs (orb that have GM inside) in my body from head to toe.
Then all merge in one GM in bright light,me also merge inside. 

The feeling was very very great & peaceful lei!
Can't get those feeling when i try on vajrasattva...
So i just using on GM heart's mantra visualization. 这样可以吗?(Like that can or not?)

Metta Hugss

Dear shijie,
Good that you have great feeling of peace. :) 
Guru said during Kalachakra event in Singpore in 2008, that the method that you are able to achieve Samadhi is the best method for you.

I have also shared articles about the Immeasurable variation of Tantrayana's cultivation.
Also about the 84,000 Dharma Doors that Buddha revealed to us.
In Tantrayana, as long as you are Sincere and have a caring heart or mindset for others, everything goes!

In your case, I humbly suggest that you chant more of 100-syllable mantra and dedicate to all.
This is a required step in the Preliminaries before you can move on.
So arm yourself with this as foundation.

Foundation? From what you all write and said or ask, I know whether you have or not! :) 
Hahaha! I am CRAZY!!!

Your [这样可以吗?(Like that can or not?) ] shows you are not sure and still seeks answers Externally! :)

For a cultivator, your experiences in cultivation is Unique to you only.
Therefore, being unsure means you would like to follow others' method or ways.

Just a gentle reminder, THERE IS NO FIXED SCENARIO FOR SAMDADHI!

Cheers

Burning of incense paper with dharma or sutra.




Dear fa-shi,

Recently, some of my colleagues ask me help them purchase the Zhun-Sheng Jin incense paper. Since they saw my fold the lotus and are interested to do so and burn to earth-god, ancestors or the spirits living.

1 afternoon when they folding the lotus in our site, out of sudden the young fa-shi saw it and said it a SIN to burn this incense paper because it is printed the dharma or sutra. Burning this is likes burning the sutra book, destroying Buddhist holy item...

My colleague came and told me this incident couple of them being scared and dare not continue. But some still not care.

Hahahaha...

Dear all, we are sharing the benefits of these sutras or dharani with those spirits only. 
Of course if the fashi find these offensive to him, then do not make him unhappy by folding them within his sight.
He still has a long way to go to understand Buddha Dharma and Tantrayana too. 

The most important point is 圆融 harmonious perfection or complement, in religious beliefs and in dealing with methods of convenience in this Saha World. 

Like those that burn holy books, can we see it as they are sharing the Holy teachings with the spirits? Giving them personal copies?

The Usnisa Vijaya Dharani has a statement about "Contact" that should be noted.

[安楼上。乃至安置窣堵波中。天帝。若有苾刍苾刍尼优婆塞优婆夷族姓男族姓女于幢等上。或见或与相近。其影映身。或风吹陀罗尼幢等上尘落在身上。天帝。彼诸众生。所有罪业。应堕恶道地狱畜生。阎罗王界。饿鬼界。阿修罗身恶道之苦。皆悉不受.]

Lotuschef in Chat - Elephant Spirit 象灵



hi dears
there is a sort of elephant spirit on the rock wall.
I need a closer look anyway.

No need to worry about the elephant spirit, its a friendly one
When I am there, will go talk to the "wall"!!! hahaha!

[LC: u read my email about the school's wall has an elephant spirit?

AA: Yes.
How can an elephant spirit get into that building.
Might be from the former owner.
Waiting for B or C to take a closer image as per your request.

LC: u go have a look at that photo with the wall, it is quite obvious to me lol

AA: Oh ya lor.I only glanced at it previously.
Now when I look again, the elephant is very obvious, the head - eye - ear - body...
If you tell M, she would be scared to pale lol.
What a place.

I told AA to look too early this morning.
he said he sees it too after I told him to go n have a closer look.

The elephant is standing and friendly.
I already draw him into vision n sort of had a friendly hand shake liao!
Hehe!
He is happy to play with us too.
So relax!
:)

Dear all, do not be scared of these spirits. 
Most times they are previous residents even before Human invasions into their habitats. 

Our dear Ganesha is part elephant too! :)

Just treat them well, that's all!

Lotuschef at Play - Non Constant 无常









Look at the above carefully, we are not doing Fire puja the way most chapters do.
However, Guru said that Fire Offering is the Greatest form of offering and one also can also reach attainment by this method.

What is the Key to Offering? Sincerity and whole-heartedness!
Question: You are all moving around and not seated to chant mantra and do visualization, how can you say you are cultivating?

We are all chanting mantra even as we move around to do offering or helping others do so.
The visualization is already in our heart chakras before we light the Fire.

See how intent we are in offering? each one of us, take turns to offer with our hearts.

This is another variation of Non Constant!

Guru told me to [Leave TBS], and he guided me with all the different approach and concepts to cultivate Buddha Dharma and Tantra yoga in another way. Looks like the Standardise Sadhana has lots of [blanks] that needed to be fill in.

Hahaha! The idea to explain this one came from knowledge that a student took time to compile Guru's instruction on the requisites of fire puja and the equipments used and shared these online.
Quite a great and caring effort!

However, in cultivation, always bear in mind, What Is the Key of this Cultivation and for what purpose?

Lotuschef at Play - Frivolous Action 无聊动作


Crystal Pyramid has lots of hidden meaning.
Let us explore the Pure factor here.

TBS committee posted an announcement on their website in reply to the Defamers' allegation that Guru is all bluff!
This announcement is a Letter by Shi-mu, stating that she vouched that Guru is a Great Achiever!
In my article [Demon's Lackey. True/False], the writer statements that the subject he is talking about is in Shi-mu's camp. In other words, telling us he is in VM LianNing's camp! :)
Means there is at least 2 camps in the Committee!

Recently, the committee also announced that there will be no change of Chairman of the committee hence, VM Lian Ning will stay as Chairman permanently!

The Fun begins!!!

All announcement from TBS' Committee are therefore Approved by the Chairman before public announcement!
So our VM Lian Ning is fully and totally responsible for all announcements after the Date he becomes the committee's permanent chairman, correct? :)
How lovely!

静观其变!To silently watch changes! [this is part of my homework].

The letter by Shi-mu is considered bias as supporting Guru's [public image] is of personal interest to her. Therefore this is actually generating negative instead of positive effect. She gave ammunition to the opposition by her action.

The Committee's endorsement of an unknown and unofficial forum in yet another announcement, further damages the 'mindset' of the committee and their wisdom seem to be elusive.

Guru has his reasons for not acting at all.
Therefore the committee really should not supersede Guru's will and act against the defamers.
Moreover, this is not the first and isolated on Guru, why loose your cool and react so strongly?
Is it because you have personal grievances or grudges against YC?

See how emotions can dictate to a person's mind and even directed one into action detrimental to Self only?
This show everyone that is discerning that the one in charge and also the ones that agree and execute his orders, really have no idea of what is Buddha Dharma and what is the True Meaning of their vows of Samaya, Boddhisattva, Ordination; at all.

A True Leader like Guru, will discouraged any arising or animosity against any Single Being.
See how superseding Guru, bring out all your deficiencies like card game "show-hand"?

Do not bother to get angry at me too! :)
Someone has to tell you to give you a chance to have a good thorough look at Self, so that you can truly take charge of a Buddhist sector and also have wholehearted support from all.
You are given a chance by Guru, don't negate it or waste it with any sentient craving and behavior.

Whether you truly understand what is needed of you for this position is of utmost importance and not what you can gain for self from this position.

No fakes or evil persons will be given any support from Universal beings.
Guru has support of the Whole Universe!

Lotuschef at Play - Power You Can Control?



Dear all, did you listen to Guru's speech today? 
Yes, it is about Qi and its usages and various interesting aspects in Joke form.

Why is Guru able to use Jokes to share Buddha Dharma?

non-meditation (S. abhāvanā, sgom med) The state of not holding to either an object of meditation nor to a meditator. Nothing further needs to be ‘meditated upon’ or ‘cultivated at this stage.
5. Nonmeditation: last part of the path of no-more learning (tenth bhūmi) and buddhahood (bhūmis eleven through thirteen)

In Guru's Rainbow Body Attainment this is [无修瑜伽 - 大智若疯 ] Non cultivation yoga - Great Wisdom as if Mad.
Hahaha! Why mad?
Because at this level you are onto Buddhahood and you have Maha Prajna Paramita!

[Prajñāpāramitā (Sanskritप्रज्ञापारमिता) in Buddhism, means "the Perfection of (Transcendent) Wisdom." The word Prajñāpāramitā combines the Sanskrit words prajñā ("wisdom") with pāramitā ("perfection")]

Only those that has attained this level of cultivation can understand what you are all about! :)

The sentient mindset will never be able to decipher what you are all about and as Guru revealed today, he knows the future as his yidams will reveal them to him.

Just looking at you, he knows everything about you.

When you take refuge, you bio-data and life experiences all input into a huge 'universal data bank' mann by Dharmapalas and Yidams of Guru.

That is why when you are in danger or in need, you only need to draw Guru into vision or  chant Guru's mantra or even yell [Guru please save me!], Guru will come to your assistance immediately.

Many are after POWER, as a motivation of cultivation!

Power that you can't control is not yours!

Take a crown prince for example, Power is in Sight but still elusive!

Then something call [Impermanence] intervenes and you never get a chance to sit on the Throne you so craved, at all! Therefore, [Birth into a Royal Household or being the First born] also did not help you. Recall the story of Moses? All the First born of Egypt were taken as punishment for heinous crimes of their parents. Although I do not agree with this taking of lives but this is an evil to halt further evils. I have no further comments.

That is the sentient world, however, in a Buddhist community, those that crave Power are truly very misguided and ignorant! You should cultivate studiously and diligently to attain Buddhahood and to make good your Samaya; Boddhisattva; Ordination; vows to succor all sentient beings and not to use devious means to cheat; subdue; control; dictate; or make use of them to further your evil schemes.

There is a chinese saying: 人在做;天在看!People is performing; Heaven is watching!

Nothing you do can be hidden from the Heaven.

Those that are truly and wholely enlightened in Mind and have cultivated to higher yoga levels can see your antics very clearly with the Buddha Dharma and its associated philosophy.

Wake up please!

Power in Buddhist context is something not to be use to the detriment of all beings, therefore you will never be granted any to play with when you have Evil Thoughts to cheat or harm any one.

In previous article, a student that reads my blog regularly, shared his understanding of Power that is Mindset, Boddhicitta & Qi. Think this should be useful to you if you are the one craving for Power that don't exist!

Once you understand Bodhhicitta Truly, you will stop all evil cravings!

Instead of having Power to control others; you might turn the tables on yourself and be control by Power of your very own Demon!

Hahaha! Don't chase something you do not have full understanding of!

Lotuschef Bermain-main – Wilayah Kekuasaan



Ditulis oleh Lotuschef – 22 Oktober 2012
Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: Lotuschef at Play – Territorial

Ada orang yang kerasukan di depan sebuah rumah ibadah.

Acharya rumah ibadah itu tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa terhadap orang yang kerasukan ini.

Seorang umat lain datang dan memberikan tepukan di badan orang yang kerasukan ini, begitulah kemudian ia segera tersadarkan kembali.

Namun acharya rumah ibadah itu memarahi si umat yang menolong tadi karena melangkahi dirinya di dalam [wilayah kekuasaannya] dengan membantu si orang yang kerasukan.


Ini kisah nyata yang diceritakan oleh beberapa orang murid yang hadir di rumah ibadah tersebut.

Jadi [muka] si acharya jauh lebih penting daripada kesejahteraan para umatnya?

Pada akhirnya dia akan segera sadar karena kehilangan banyak pengikutnya karena sikapnya yang kurang peduli.


Ada seorang murid yang aku temui di Taiwan, ia juga punya masalah yang sama – “pingsan” atau mulai kerasukan. Ya, aku benar-benar melihat kebanyakan acharya cuma berdiri sekitar 2 meter dari murid tersebut dan HANYA MENONTON!

Sangat kelihatan kalau tak pernah belajar cara menghadapi situasi semacam ini dari Guru, atau malah tidak pernah meminta Guru untuk mengajarinya.

Hahaha! Aku sendiri? Aku juga tak tahu bagaimana aku bisa tahu caranya berbicara pada “roh-roh” yang merasuki murid tersebut!

Tapi, setelah berurusan dengan “keadaan darurat” itu, hal yang terbaik adalah mengajari si “korban” untuk bertobat dan membayar hutang-hutang karmanya.


Ia yang pernah kubantu selalu mengirimkan email dan bertanya apakah acharya ini tulen dan bisa dipercaya atau tidak.
Ia dan keluarganya telah banyak melihat banyak dari mereka yang pergi menjauh saat “serangan” itu datang.


Saranku adalah supaya bersadhana dan membantu dirinya sendiri.
Mengungkapkan penyesalan (bertobat) dan membayar hutang-hutang karma.

Setidaknya dia beruntung karena menjadi murid Satya Buddha, dan tahu bagaimana cara menolong dirinya sendiri.

Di luar sana masih saja ada orang-orang yang menyerang atau menipu orang-orang lainnya padahal dirinya sendiri tak punya Jodoh (afinitas) untuk mendapatkan pertolongan atau belajar untuk menolong diri mereka sendiri.


Malam tadi saat puja api homa, Guru mengajarkanku teknik baru untuk menolong murid-murid membersihkan Qi/Prana yang telah basi di dasar paru-paru mereka. Hehe!

Sungguh bekerja dengan manjur! :)

Namun tentunya harus digunakan dengan “perintah” atau mantra yang relevan.

Juga perlu menggunakan “Kekuatan Prana” dari diriku untuk mendorongnya keluar!


Ternyata ceramah Guru hari ini juga sebagian besar mengenai “Prana”, efeknya dan cara penggunaannya!
Sekali lagi sungguh kebetulan!!!


Hahaha! Aku sangat sayang Guru, begitu juga aku mempercayai Beliau yang tahu hal terbaik di dalam segala situasi!

Apakah kamu juga mencintai dan mempercayai-Nya juga?

http://lotuschef.blogspot.sg/2011/12/25-12-2011-sutra-carved-on-golden-rock.html

Remember this one? 

This morning after 2 and a half hours of sleep, I got up and this one came to mind. 
I recalled the following when I am in the Monkey's forum:-
Some one said that Our root guru is a copy cat and all his teachings not his own, he copy from others.

TBS' committee published a letter to certify that Guru is a True Great Achiever, in response to the Monkey's allegation. 

Hahaha! Go check TBS' website on Announcement, please.

In a certain past life of mine, I carved the Diamond Sutra in a [coded pattern] on a huge golden rock's walls or surfaces. WHY?
To preserve these for posterior usages. 
Why a coded pattern? 
Because there are Great Depths to this sutra!

Do I therefore have copyrights to the Diamond Sutra because I preserved it and hid it from being destroyed? 
Hahaha! 
NO! 
These are part of lessons that Sakyamuni Buddha gave upon a particular session to explain certain ideology or philosophy. 
Does using the Diamond sutra or explaining its concepts made one a "copy-cat"?

We, in Tantrayana, is practising Yoga techniques passed down by Buddha and many Gurus. 
Therefore, who copies who? 

The one who talks about 'copy-cat' for Buddhist students is truly the greatest ignorant of all. 
To quote a common saying: Don't know say don't know, don't pretend you know!

Hahaha! Remember well that : All Buddha Dharma are to be used for the betterment of all, that's all! 

Have Fun Cultivating, Rest Assured You Are Not Copy-Cats!

Lotuschef at Play - Discernment 辩理

Lets have fun on this journey, arm with Buddha Dharma and our Root Guru's blessing...strolling along the Bodhi Path.

Someone emailed lots of students after a recent speech by Guru, alleging Guru is going to leave us.
Question:
1. check out the Truth?
Chinese Link : http://vimeo.com/51840629
English Link: http://vimeo.com/51840824

2. Guru said when he wants to go to the washroom, there were lots of spirits there, so he snapped his fingers warning them to leave as he is going to use the washroom.
However, his Yidam came! Guru explained the "bond" he has established with his yidams. They will come upon the wake up or alert signal from Guru and that is the sound from snapping fingers.
He said one's yidam can reveal to one, what is going to happen tomorrow or in ten years or more.
He said they told him his lifespan, although not very long. He said although [not very very long] x 2, ... that's why we have to treasure our time together.

Question: where in this passage did Guru said he is leaving already?

3. If this person misinterpreted Guru's speech,  then it is acceptable, correct? For we all do make mistakes from time to time.
However, he immediately devised packages to sell to students, alleging by using these packages, students can effectively show their love for guru and also successfully plead for Guru to stay with us.
Question: Does he loves Guru?
If so, should he not do all these to show his love and his own pleading and also pleading on behalf of all?
Question: He intentionally misinterpreted Guru's statements for personal gain? :)

 From his actions, we know he has yet to yoga at Preliminaries and needless to say he hasn't yoga with Guru!
He can't understand the True context of Guru's speech at all.
[The Blind Leading the Blind]!

In his speech, Guru actually told us the importance of Yoga and Yidams. They will show up immediately at the snap of his fingers. This is an established or deep rooted rapport or bond with the Yidams. This is only possible through studious and diligently cultivation.

He also told us what Yidam can do other than protect us.
He also said "not very very long" twice. :)
What is Time in Buddha's Perspective? Hahaha!
This one I have no answers, therefore you have to ask Guru.

When I received the email from a certain VM regarding to share the [Plead for Buddha to stay] and to share widely with all, I posted it as an article on my blog & blogspot, to help spread the words.

Although I believe that as long as all students chant guru's mantra daily and visualize Guru presence, that is the same as [plead for guru to stay with us as long as possible].

Guru already said that [love from the heart] is enough, no need to externally and profusely show. :)

Buddha Dharma obviously never sink in with any of the "love Guru very much" group, agree?

I said sorry to Guru for not being able to instil concepts of Buddha Dahrma & Disciplines into these "blinded mob" of students.
We actually had a good laugh to clear the slate and back to work again!

Propagating Dharma is a True Uphill Climb, however, accepting it and diligently innovate ways to continue from observations and analysis, we start afresh with renewed zealousness on our sentient minded subjects again.

Cheers all. Enjoyed this journey?
See you again.

Prinsip-prinsip Utama Sheng-yen Lu


Diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Inggris oleh Lotuschef – 22 Oktober 2012
Diterjemahkan dari Bahasa Inggris ke Bahasa Indonesia oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: Lu Sheng Yan’s Key Principles
Artikel sumber: 盧勝彥的心要 - 第一篇——序曲

Sheng-yen Lu, Buku No. 96, Bab 1 – Pengantar


[1] Buddha Shakyamuni muncul di dunia karena Karma persoalan duniawi. Demikian juga aku (Buddha Hidup Lian Sheng), muncul di dunia karena jodoh (afinitas) duniawi yang agung.

Dunia boleh saja mencemooh:
“Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, Sheng-yen Lu, mana bisa bisa dibandingkan dengan mereka yang maha suci!”

“Sungguh, sungguh, aku memberitahumu: {Aku adalah seorang Buddha}.”

Kita ini belajar agama Buddha, maka pasti akan menjadi seorang Buddha, kalau aku bukan “Buddha” lalu siapakah aku?

Para insan, janganlah meremehkan dirimu sendiri, saat tercerahkan tentunya menjadi Buddha, kalau bingung/tersesat maka tetap menjadi insan biasa. Kita masing-masing ini, bicara secara luas, adalah Buddha.

Afinitas dunia yang penting:
Mempelopori/membuka jalan menuju Kebuddhaan, menampakkan Sifat Sejati Kebuddhaan, mencapai Kebijaksanaan Pencerahan yang Sejati, dan menjadi Buddha. Melebur ke dalam alam-alam Buddha dengan mendalam.

Maka aku memberitahu kalian semua: “Aku adalah seorang Buddha.”


[2] Jangan melakukan kejahatan, lakukan semua hal yang baik, dan sucikanlah pikiranmu; inilah ajaran Sang Buddha.

Dua yang pertama “tidak melakukan kejahatan, dan melakukan semua kebaikan” adalah eksoterik. Sedangkan yang terakhir “sucikanlah pikiranmu” adalah buddhisme esoterik atau Tantra.

Tantra adalah Penyucian Tubuh – Ucapan – dan Pikiran. Sebenarnya ketiga hal ini adalah SATU adanya, karena saat Hati/Pikiran telah tersucikan, maka otomatis Tubuh dan Ucapan juga tersucikan.

Jadi, menyucikan pikiran adalah Tantra.

Ajaran rahasia Tantra, tujuan akhirnya adalah untuk {Menyucikan pikiran sendiri}.


[3] Dalam hidupku ini – dipengaruhi oleh cara pikir buddhis tradisional yang kontroversial, kemudian juga mengalami fitnahan yang terbesar, dan dikucilkan oleh dunia religius.

Tapi sejujurnya aku beritahukan kepada kalian semua:
Dari perspektif diri maupun orang lain, sebenarnya aku tak pernah bersengeketa dengan siapapun, tak ada seorangpun yang memfitnahku, tak ada yang mengucilkanku.

Apa yang aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, katakan adalah dari dalam hati dan jiwaku. Aku punya Kedamaian Abadi, Kebijaksanaan Tertinggi yang tak tertandingi, semua fitnah dan penolakan juga tak ada yang bisa mempengaruhiku.

Oleh karenanya, ini sama artinya dengan [tak ada seorangpun yang  pernah bersengketa, memfitnah, ataupun menolak diriku.]


[4] Ordo Satya Buddha-ku adalah aliran yang “asli” (otentik).
Karena “tidak ada sektarianisme”. Sektarianisme adalah kamp kecil yang labil.
[Catatan penerjemah: Sektarianisme – adalah pikiran sempit yang melekat pada sebuah partai atau denominasi atau aliran tertentu.]

Gerbang Kristen. Gerbang Katolik. Gerbang Islam. Aliran-aliran Buddhis juga punya banyak pintu gerbang.
Hanya Ordo Satya Buddha saja yang melebur semuanya dengan harmonis dan tidak mengucilkan ordo-ordo lainnya. Kita menerima dan memeluk mereka semuanya.


Alam Dharma banyaknya tak terhingga, begitu juga Satya Buddha juga tak berpintu.

Kemurahan hati-Ku (Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng) juga luar biasa tak terukur.

Sikapku terhadap berbagai agama dan aliran lain adalah:
Menggunakan (agama) dengan efisien; digunakan supaya bisa memberi manfaat; digunakan dengan sebaik-baiknya; digunakan dengan menyesuaikan situasi sehingga tahu manfaat apa yang bisa dipetik darinya.

Aku juga membagikan dharma sesuai dengan kebutuhan (kapasitas) masing-masing individu.


Beberapa orang berkata: “Ordo Satya Buddha ini kultus sesat!”

Namun sejujurnya aku memberitahu semuanya:
Kepada mereka yang perbuatannya jahat dan pandangannya menyimpang, kita perlu menggunakan persuasi yang baik daripada membabi buta menghajar mereka. Justru kelompok-kelompok seperti inilah yang perlu kita ajar dan selamatkan. [Catatan Lotuschef: ini adalah salah satu tugas saya dari Guru – untuk meyakinkan dan membujuk baik pihak Pemfitnah maupun para murid Satya Buddha supaya tidak saling menyerang, terutama hal ini ditujukan kepada Komite Pusat Satya Buddha!]

Ordo Satya Buddha ini memberi manfaat bagi semua insan, juga menyucikan seluruh dunia.

Kalau begitu di manakah yang namanya Jahat? Di manakah si Sesat (thirtika) berada?


[5] Tidak melakukan kejahatan, dan melakukan semuanya yang baik – dengan ini pasti bisa naik ke alam surga. Hampir semua agama juga punya konsep seperti ini.

Tidak melakukan kejahatan, dalam agama Buddha dibagi menjadi lima komponen: Membunuh, Mencuri, Sex yang menyimpang, Berbohong, Minum (minuman keras hingga mabuk).

Kemudian Lima Kejahatan dirubah menjadi Lima Kebajikan, mereka adalah: Pengetahuan, Kebenaran, Minat, Fleksibilitas, Welas Asih – inilah kebajikan dasar dari seorang sadhaka.


Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, berkata:

Tidak melakukan kejahatan, tapi melakukan semua kebajikan – akan naik ke alam surga.

Bila kekacauan tidak mempengaruhi hatinya – maka naik ke Dewachen (Surga Barat/Sukhawati).

Bila Tubuh, Ucapan, dan Pikirannya tersucikan – sama artinya dengan mencapai Kebuddhaan dengan segera.


[6] Melatih Esoterik dan Eksoterik ada sedikit perbedaan:
Eksoterik adalah “mengikuti Dharma dan bukan bergantung pada si individu”.
Esoterik (Tantra) adalah “sesuai dengan Dharma dan si individu yang bersangkutan”.
Ini karena Tantrayana membutuhkan pemberkatan abhiseka dari Guru Akar barulah si praktisi bisa mencapai keberhasilan.


Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, mengenali 3 kelompok orang yang melatih Tantra tapi tak akan mencapai keberhasilan:

Yang pertama adalah yang meragukan dirinya sendiri – ragu bahwa dirinya bukanlah Buddha, mengira dirinya sendiri tak akan bisa menjadi Buddha, ragu kalau dirinya sendiri tak punya potensi untuk menjadi Buddha.

Yang ke-dua, meragukan Gurunya – keraguannya ini akan menyebabkan hilangnya penghormatan dan kepatuhan, tentu saja tak bisa mendapatkan pemberkatan dari sang Guru Akar, dan dengan ini tak akan mendapatkan keberhasilan.

Orang yang ke-tiga, meragukan Dharma Tantra – karena keraguannya ini maka ia tak dapat melatih secara mendalam, dan karena tidak bisa mendalam maka ia tak bisa MENGGUNAKANNYA; oleh karenanya ia melatih dengan sia-sia karena tak ada manfaatnya?


Maka di sini aku menjamin: Mereka yang yakin bahwa dirinya adalah Buddha; juga menghormati Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng Lu Sheng Yen; punya iman yang kokoh pada Dharma Tantra Satya Buddha dan melatihnya sehari sekali, tekun dan tak mundur; tidak ada satupun yang dimelekatinya – pasti akan mencapai Kebuddhaan.


[7] Zen ada sesuatu yang dinamakan {meragukan dan menebak}!

Keraguan besar adalah pencerahan.
Keraguan kecil maka tak tercerahkan.
Tidak ada keraguan maka tak ada pencerahan.

Buddha Shakyamuni mengajak para sadhaka untuk {meragukan dan menebak}, kenapa demikian?

Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, menjawabnya:

Di sini, ragu bukanlah akan Diri Sendiri, Guru, ataupun Dharma. Ia adalah pelatihan [Kontemplatif/Merenung]; yang berarti senang mempelajari semua Dharma Buddha beserta filosofi-filosofi di baliknya; mencari tahu dan merenungkannya dengan mendalam sehingga mendapatkan kebenaran yang lebih lengkap dan sejati – dari merenung lalu menginterpretasikannya dan kemudian tercerahkan.


[8] Dharma Buddha begitu luasnya, lalu bagaimana caranya belajar dan melatihnya?

Banyak umat Buddha yang mulai belajar dengan tekun, namun saat memasuki lautan Dharma, mulailah mereka menyadari betapa besar dan luasnya Buddha Dharma – tak terukur, tak terselami, kaget, tak tahu harus mulai dari mana supaya bisa memahami dengan sempurna, akhirnya malah jadi tidak mendengarkan, tak berpikir, tak melatih diri, menyerah di sana, dan tak mau belajar lagi.

Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, menyarankan:
Saat masih muda – belajarlah sebanyak-banyaknya.
Saat usia pertengahan – dalamilah satu sadhana saja.
Saat usia tua – latihlah saja sadhana untuk terlahir kembali.

Kalau kamu berpikir [Belajarlah sebanyak-banyaknya] sungguh rumit, sehingga tak bisa menyelami Dharma, kenapa tak bertanya saja pada Guru Akar untuk sebuah sadhana, dan kemudian melatihnya sepanjang hidupmu. Mendalami Satu sadhana sudahlah cukup.

Begitu kamu berhasil melatih satu sadhana, artinya sama dengan berhasil melatih semuanya. Oleh karenanya, aku secara pribadi merasa bahwa “mendalami satu sadhana” adalah hal yang terpenting!

Belajar sebanyak-banyaknya tapi tidak dilatih, bagaikan orang yang hanya melihat makanan enak tapi tidak turut memakannya, sama saja tak ada manfaatnya.

Bagi orang tua, selama [hatinya tak kacau] dan melatih sadhana Kelahiran Kembali, itu sudahlah cukup.


[9] Padmasambhava berkata: Hormatilah Gurumu, Hargailah Dharma (yang diajarkannya), dan Berlatihlah dengan tekun.

Aku mengatakan: “Kalau bisa digunakan, baru akan menjadi orang yang tercerahkan!”

Teori Zhi-du mengatakan:
Dharma adalah rute/jalan yang sangat berharga.
Akan menjadi tidak berharga kalau tidak dilatih.
Tapi kalau bisa melatihnya dengan tekun, meski tidak berpengetahuan luas, setidaknya bisa memasuki jalan (dharma) dulu.


[10] Aku sering berpikir, kenapa aku harus melatih diri? Karena aku menyadari:
Pentingnya Hidup dan Mati.
Betapa cepatnya ketidakkekalan datang.

Dan aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, memahami beberapa Kebenaran dari pengalaman-pengalaman hidup bahwa:
  • Penderitaan berarti: Menderita karena Lahir – Tua – Sakit – Berpisah dengan yang dicintai – Kebencian – Hal-hal yang tak tercapai – Lima indera yang bermasalah [inilah 8 penderitaan].
  • Ilusi berarti: hidup ini tidak nyata atau ilusi belaka.
  • Ketidakkekalan: Bila ada jodoh (afinitas) maka akan Muncul, saat jodoh habis maka akan Menghilang. Semua fenomena ini silih berganti dengan cepat.
Aku memahami [8 Penderitaan Kehidupan] ini, dan “semuanya adalah ilusi”, serta [ketidakkekalan yang datang dengan cepat], supaya bisa mempunyai hati yang suci dan pikiran yang waspada, oleh karenanya aku merasa bahwa [melatih diri] adalah hal yang paling penting di dalam hidup ini.


[11] Dalam bukuku, [Firman-firman Emas dari Lu Sheng Yen], aku pernah menuliskan:
Buddha Shakyamuni memberikan vyakarana kepada Devadatta sebagai pemberkatan akan pencapaian kebuddhaan-nya, dan pada saat yang sama juga berterima kasih kepadanya atas penganiayaannya.

Aku juga sama halnya mengikuti ajaran-ajaran suci Buddha Sakyamuni,

Mengucapkan terima kasih:
Salut kepada para Pendeta Agung atas pemberkatannya yang berkebalikan.
Salut kepada orang awam yang besar atas pemberkatannya yang berkebalikan.
Salut kepada setan (mara) langit yang agung atas pemberkatannya yang berkebalikan.
Salut kepada setan manusia yang besar atas pemberkatannya yang berkebalikan.
Salut karena tidak menyalahkan maksud dari para setan yang memberikan berkat.

Dengan tulus aku berterima kasih atas semua pemberkatan yang berkebalikan, bahkan dengan adanya permberkatan semacam itu aku akan menjadi lebih tekun, itulah kenapa hingga hari ini aku bisa menunjukkan hasil dari pelatihan {mengkhususkan diri pada Satu}. Tanpa pemberkatan yang berkebalikan, pasti akan mudah goyah.


[12] “Sadhana Tantra Satya Buddha” selaras dengan tiga rahasia untuk mencapai Kebuddhaan, tiga rahasia tersebut adalah:
  1. Tubuh – selaras dengan mudra.
  2. Ucapan – selaras dengan mantra.
  3. Pikiran – selaras dengan visualisasi.
“Mudra” melambangkan mudra tubuh sang yidam.
“Mantra” menyimbolkan keberhasilan sang yidam dan tingkat harta dharma-nya di saat itu.
“Visualisasi” mewakili isi pikiran dan kekuatan pikiran sang yidam.

Kunci yang terpenting dalam “Tantra Satya Buddha” adalah:
Pertama: Padatkan (fokuskan) berbagai macam pikiran yang bercabang ataupun gangguan menjadi SATU.
Ke-dua: Rubahlah Satu Pikiran menjadi Tiada Pikiran.
Ke-tiga: Pahamilah bahwa Tiada Pikiran itu artinya sama dengan Alam Semesta yang Kosong.

Inilah yang dimaksud,  dari Mudra – Mantra – Visualisasi, kemudian dihubungkan ke dalam Meditasi Samadhi, dan akhirnya mencapai kondisi yang tertinggi yaitu Kebuddhaan. Inilah sadhana tantra Satya Buddha.

Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, sungguh-sungguh memberitahu semua bahwa dengan [Tantra Tertinggi] di sana ada:
  1. Kesatuan Spiritual – bersih, terang, mengalir dengan mulus (merujuk pada Citarasa Dharma).
  2. Tiada Pikiran – semua elemen kehidupan mengalir kembali (ke arah sebaliknya).
  3. Kekosongan Universal – segera mencapai Kebuddhaan.
Aku merasa bahwa saat aku memegang kendali atas situasi, semuanya berjalan dengan “otomatis”, inilah tantra tertinggi! Saat memasuki Samadhi, “energi” tubuh kita secara alamiah akan mengalir kembali dan menjadi terfokus.

Tinggal di dalam Kekosongan Semesta (Sifat Sejati Buddha), maka sifat sejati diri sendiri akan muncul secara otomatis, menunjukkan sifat kebuddhaan-nya.


[13] Aku ingin mengungkapkan “kunci kebijaksanaan terunggul” ini kepada semua insan sejelas-jelasnya – bahwa sadhana di dalam Tantra terbagi menjadi bagian “awal, inti, dan akhir”.

Bagian yang terpenting adalah bagian sadhana inti.
Ia adalah Visualisasi – Mudra – dan memasuki Samadhi.

Visualisasi: Dengan pikiran menghentikan pikiran-pikiran lain.
Mantra: Mengundang yidam untuk melebur (menyatu) dengan diriku, dan aku kemudian melebur dengan sang yidam.
Memasuki Samadhi: Melebur ke dalam Kedamaian.

Pada bagian Inti, ada banyak kunci-kunci penting yang harus dipersiapkan untuk menuju Kebudhaan sebagai titik akhirnya, mereka adalah {melebur menjadi Satu}, {merubah menjadi Tiada Pikiran}, {menjadi setara dengan Kekosongan Universal}, dan pada akhirnya untuk {mencapai Kebuddhaan dengan segera}.

Kunci-kunci utamaku adalah sebagai berikut:
Nadi dengan nadi saling terhubung.
Qi atau Prana melebur dengan Prana.
Titik-titik Cahaya Bindu saling melebur.
Sinar yang muncul saling bertransformasi.

Aku, Buddha Hidup Lian-sheng, dengan [Prana, Nadi, Bindu] dalam tubuhku sendiri, melatih untuk [memasuki arus dharma]; [tinggal di dalam kesucian]; [menjaga penyatuan yang harmonis]; benar-benar menembusi semua nadi internal dan eksternal. Kunci-kunci ini akan aku ungkapkan satu demi satu di dalam buku ini.
