六度~精进 6 Paramitas ~ Virya - Diligence


Terjemahan Bahasa: 6 Paramita: Virya – Ketekunan

Above: Statue of Maitreya at Zhong Tai Zen Monastery in Taiwan.


Referring to the recorded sermon:
2017年6月18日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥開講「道果」-彩虹雷藏寺

Above: GM Lu expounding Lamdre in Seattle's Rainbow Temple on 18th June 2017. At this juncture he is talking about having all that Maitreya Boddhisattva promised to gift to HIM.
However GM Lu doesn't put weight on all these materials, have equal to don't have.
Because what belongs to the Great Earth will eventually be returned to the Great Earth.
Truly possessed is Maha Twin Lotus Pond Pureland.

When Maitreya opened his cloth pouch, all materials were shown to GM Lu.
In actual fact, Buddhas & boddhisattvas are all caring & concern to you, 
you only need to diligently cultivate & write, lotus will naturally sprout from the earth/ground.

Paramita is a Sanskrit term and means “perfection.”
The six paramitas in Tibetan and Sanskrit are:
(1) sbyin-pa (dana, “generosity”), 
(2) tshul-khrims (shila, “ethics”), 
(3) bzod-pa (kshanti, “forbearance, acceptance, patience, forgiveness”), 
(4) brtsong-’grus (virya, “joyful endeavour, diligence, zeal”),
(5) bsam-gtan (dyana, “meditative concentration”), and 
(6) shes-rab (prajna, “discriminating wisdom-awareness, insight”). 

This morning, I had a dream of someone stealing a statue of Maitreya Boddhisattva.
This statue is about 15inches in height & length of base is about 15 inches & 9 inches wide & wrapped up with beige linen. 
I went to chase this person and eventually he left the statue at a small reception booth. After recovering the statue, I walked into the temple as it seems an event is being held that day.
Hahaha! 
The floor approaching the temple proper suddenly sunk and water floated the way in.
As I stood by watching, someone sort of lifted a plank and the floor resurfaced!
Thinking to not wet my clothing, I started to step out towards the inside of the temple.
Guess what, I was walking about 2 feet above the ground and sort of flying!
Gosh! 
This is a temple in the underworld and the inhabitants all have miserable looks from great suffering sustained.

Dear all, Stealing is one of the 5 precepts that all should not breach.
It will land you in a Hell of your own making!

As GM Lu said: as long as you are diligent in cultivation, all divinities will bestow you with all necessities to carry on.

Remember back in 2010 when GM Lu visited Hong Kong?
The Vajra & bell were stolen after GM Lu used them, and a statue of Vajrasattva was also stolen. 
Who told you that things that GM Lu used or touched will enhance your lot and enrich you?
Hahaha!
Possessing these items at all cost, will land you in Hell, far far away from Pureland!

If you are one of those that still don't fully comprehend what GM Lu shares, then you are surely bound for one of the 3 lower realms of samsara!

Your only recourse is to start fresh from the very beginning after wholehearted Repentance!
All is not lost if you muster up your all and take charge from now!
