六神通的符 Talismans for 6 Transcendental Abilities


Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 247_蓮生符 > 六神通的符圖騰


華嚴經曰:
「法性本空寂,無取亦無見,性空即是佛,不可得思量。」
Avatamsaka sutra states:
Dharma Nature is solitary void, nothing to take nor see, when nature is void that is Buddha, cannot have any thoughts or consideration.

六祖說:
「一切萬法,不離自性。自性自知,自性自見,自性自悟,自性自度。」
6th Patriarch said:
All dharma do not leave self nature. Self nature Self know, self see, self realise, self succour.

我個人以為:
「修行到內外明澈時,一旦自心流露,智慧達於周烕,就好像花開見佛,也像是從夢中醒來,忽然出現一片光明,上天下地,無盡藏。」
I personally believe that:
Cultivation till internal and external become crystal clear, once surfaced from one's own heart, wisdom attained stage of eliminating surroundings, just like seeing Buddha when a flower blooms, also like waking from a dream, suddenly a spread of brightness appears, heavens above and earth below, nowhere to hide.

我說:「這是神通自顯。」
I say:  This is Transcendental abilities/Psychic power that naturally surfaced.
[神通(梵文:abhiññā)]

我認為六神通也一樣有符號,我特別寫出六神通的符號。
I believe that the 6 Abhinna also have Talisman code, I specially drew them.

一、神足通:出入自如,神通變化,十法界,來來去去。(見圖 1 )
1. Divine Foot ability: unlimited mobility through all 10 dharma realms from divine transformation. (Picture 1)

二、天眼通:心竅大開,山河大地如同掌紋,上看四聖二十八天,下看六道三途。(見圖 2 )
2. Heavenly Eye ability: When Heart chakra opens fully, mountains are great earth are like patterns on palm, seeing 4 saintly 28 heavens above, 6 paths 3 routes below. (picture 2)

三、天耳通 Heavenly Ear ability:聞十法界的法音,如耳邊音。遠近十方,佛國淨土,諸尊法語,皆能悉知。這是天耳的境界。(見圖 3 )

四、他心通 Divine ability to know others mind :洞鑒十方眾生,知他心內隱微之事,意念一起,了了先知。
(見圖 4 )

五、宿命通 Divine ability to know Fate or destiny:觀透三世、十世、百世、五百世、無數劫之因因果果。
(見圖 5 )

六、漏盡通 āsavakkhaya:一切有漏全盡,無上、無等等。
(見圖 6 )

這六道符,均有妙用。
但須修至「高層次」的人才能使用。
These 6 talismans, all can be use uniquely.
BUT need one to have cultivated to [High Levels] then can use.

要能真明白,須請示真正的證道悟性之人,其珍貴殊勝,不可言也。
If truly want to understand, need to ask a true or authentic one that has affirmed Path & Nature, their gem-like auspiciousness, cannot be told.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

GM Lu can share all dharma paths without holding back! :)

BUT, Can you truly use them EFFECTIVELY?

What is the KEY given by GM Lu here to unlock the 6 Abhinna?

Hahaha!
He quoted from Avatamsaka sutra and 6th Patriarch & also gives a summarised version as explanation.

Once again, can use or not, all dependent on whether you have the relevant foundations and levels you have diligently built!

Happy New Year! 


Cheers all.

修行即隨方解縛 Cultivation is to follow the direction to solve matters

It is best that you do your own translation for a version that best suit you and one that you can comprehend. :)

蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 188_送你一盞明燈


蓮生活佛/文

  佛祖曾如是說:
Buddha has said these before:

  「若人言,如來有所說法,即為謗佛,不能解我所說故。
須菩提,說法者,無法可說,是名說法。」
If anyone said that Tathagata has spoken Dharma, that is defamation, because can't understand or explain what I have said. 
Subhuti, dharma speaker has no dharma to speak of, is termed speaking of dharma.

  釋迦牟尼佛的這句話,悟者明白,未悟者實在不明不白。
These words from Sakyamuni, only those enlightened will understand and those yet to be enlightened truly won't understand.

  請看以下這段公案: 
Please look at the following Koan:

  吉州有位「志誠禪師」,最先在神秀禪師門下參學。
Ji Zhou has a [Zhi Cheng Zen master], at first study under Zen master Shen Xiu (Dharma brother of 6th Zen Master, Hui Neng)

  神秀禪師的門人,常常譏笑南宗的慧能禪師:
Students of Shen Xiu always ridicule those from the southern school under Master hui neng:

  「慧能禪師不識一字,有何所長?」
Hui Neng Zen Master don't know a single word, have what specialty/ability?

  神秀禪師卻說: 
But Master Shen Xiu said:

「他得無師之智,深悟上乘,吾不如也。
He has wisdom without teacher, deeply realised upper yanas, I am not up to his level.

且吾師五祖親付衣法,豈徒然哉!
Moreover, my teacher the 5th Zen Master personally bestow ancestral robe to him, how can he not be worthy!

吾所恨不能遠去親近,虛受國恩,你等諸人無滯於此,可往曹溪質疑。
I grief that I can't personally travel far away to be by his sides, falsely receiving Country's grace, all of you have no need to waste time here, can go to satisfy your doubts in Cao Xi (Place where 6th Master resides)

他日回,當為吾說。」 
When you return, then tell me what you learn.

  志誠禪師聽了,就赴六祖處,隨眾人參請,不說從何而至。
After listening to these words, Master Zhi Cheng went to seek out 6th Master, following many seeking knowledge, but not revealing where he is from.

●

  六祖告眾:「今有盜法者,潛在此會。」
6th master told the assembly: There is a Dharma thief immersed in today's assembly.

  志誠禪師大駭,出列,禮拜六祖。
Master Zhi Cheng was greatly shocked, he moved out and pay respect to 6th Master.

  六祖問:「你師如何教你?」
6th master asked: How did your teacher teach you?

  志誠答:「住心觀靜,常坐不臥。」
Zhi Cheng answered : Abide Heart observe Silence, often sit but not lying down.

  六祖說:
6th Master said:

「住心觀靜,是病非禪。
Abide heart observe silence is illness not Zen.

長坐拘身,於理何益?
prolong sitting confine or restrict body, this mindset has benefit?

聽吾偈言:『生來坐不臥,死去臥不坐,原是臭骨頭,何為立功過?』」
Listen to my verse: Alive sitting not lying down, Dead lying down not sitting, originally is smelly bones, for what to erect merit or penalty?

Lotuschef: <<My humble opinion: This verse is pointing out that our bones are also illusive and composite of 4 great elements, namely Earth Water Fire Wind. 
Thus with an illusory form, how to have any achievement?>>


  志誠問:「大師以何法教人?」
Zhi Cheng asked: Great master uses what dharma to teach?

  六祖答:
6th master answered:

「吾若言有法教人,即是誑你。
If I have dharma to teach others, that is lying or bluffing you.

修行只是隨方解縛,假名三昧。
Cultivation is to follow the direction to solve matters, falsely name Samadhi.

再聽吾偈言:『一切無心自性戒,一切無礙自性慧,不增不減自金剛,身去身來本三昧』。」
Listen to one more verse: Everything without heart self nature discipline, everything without doubt self nature wisdom, no increase nor decrease self of vajra, body go or come originally Samadhi.


  志誠禪師一聽大悟。
After listening to these, Zhi Cheng Zen master greatly enlightened.

  志誠禪師呈上一偈:
Zhi Cheng offered respectfully a verse:

  五蘊幻身。
pañca skandha illusionary body.

  幻何究竟。
what is ultimate of illusion.

  迴趣真如。
Transmigration or return to True nature.

  法還不淨。
Dharma is still not pure.


●

  我們看了釋迦牟尼佛的「如來無法可說」,及六祖的「有法教人,即是誑你」。

  說來說去。

  二個字:「無法!」

  悟者明白:一切說法,無非「隨方解縛」,一切修行,也是「隨方解縛」,全是方便。
The enlightened ones understand: All dharma spoken or all cultivation are [Follow direction to solve matter] only, all methods of convenience.

  「真如」何有法?

  「真如」何有方?

  「真如」何有縛? 
[True Nature] has what dharma; direction; or solution?


  這「隨方解縛」又是為了什麼?
This follow direction to solve matter is for what?

只是「因病治病」而已矣!
Only for [Illness to treat illness]!

  六祖慧能大師的一偈,令我震撼:
I am greatly moved by 6th Patriarch Great Master Hui Neng's verse:

  一切無心自性戒!

  一切無礙自性慧!

  不增不減自金剛!

  身去身來本三昧!

  這個偈說的是什麼?
為何「志誠禪師」一聽此偈便大悟了?

  我說無念,你明白嗎?

  我說無礙,你明白嗎?

  我說無生,你明白嗎?

  我說三昧,你明白嗎?

  大家想要開悟,參參這一句:「迴趣真如,法還不淨!」參透了,來告訴我吧!
if you want to be enlightened, go figure these: Transmigration or return to True Nature, Dharms is not pure!

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

Hahaha! 

A pretty interesting statement to figure!!!

Go translate the following and hope you understand these words that GM Lu posed to you. 
:)

~~~~~~~~~

https://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/question?qid=1011092402547

仁者吉祥:
「迴趣真如,法還不淨」
迴是回歸。趣是趨向。不淨是不對。
就是說如果我們,從五蘊的幻身,想要返回真如的時候。法反而不對。因為墮在法執中。
在虛幻的身心當中,任你如何造作,還是離不開虛幻。
從虛幻的身心迴趣真如,事實上,就是真如也成為虛幻。

Crazy Wisdom – 目睹因果自负 Witness Karma is One's Own Responsibility

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kebijaksanaan yang nampak gila – Menyaksikan Karma Ditanggung oleh Orang yang Bersangkutan

"Karma", a recent sculpture by Korean sculptor Do Ho Suh.
Photograph by Alan Teo.


Quoting from: 佛教高僧禅宗祖师慧能大师生平历史纪实-佛陀正法...

六祖大师不识字的平民身份,成为一代祖师,
令佛教在中国实现平等普度,
佛教的众生平等、
佛法世出世间结合在六祖慧能的禅法中得到了展现,
为众生指明了正信正修的菩提大道。

6th Zen Patriarch as a commoner, do not know written characters, became a Patriarch of the time. 
Enable Buddhism in China to Exhibit Equality in Succoring All Beings.
Buddhism's that All Beings are Equal, 
Buddha Dharma in Sentient Realm combined by 6th Patriarch, Hui Neng, in his Zen Dharma, achieved exposition or revelation,
to point out to All Beings comprehensively Right Faith, Right Cultivation of Maha Boddhi Path.


禅宗不立文字,是为了破除当时修行者着文字相,
当时很多人陷入了文字相,认为学佛只能限于读书人,
没有文化的穷苦人看不懂佛经,无法修行。

Zen Sector Do Not Erect Words, purpose is to Break Through cultivators' of those times Attachment to the Form of Words or Written Characters,
During those times, many fell for the Form of Written Characters.
they perceived that studying Buddha Dharma Only Limited to the Scholars,
and those illiterate  or without cultural characteristic poor people, can't read and understand Buddha's sutra, not able to cultivate.


禅宗打破了种种的限制,破除了文化、出身、职业上的限制,无论各个阶层都可以学佛修行,在日常生活中去体悟自性光明,

Zen Sector broke through all kinds of hindrances, like Culture, Birth Status, Career's limitations, Irregardless of various status level All are eligible to Study Buddha Dharma and Cultivate, thereby practicing and realizing from daily life that Individual's original nature is Bright and Wise.

Refer also to this article, please:
博士们,你能[过关斩将]吗?Professors, Can You All Clear All Hurdles Ahead?

---

Dear all,
What is the above all about?

Hahaha!

Buddha's Wisdom of Equality with a pinch of Wisdom of Discernment too! :)

Now the Special VIPs in the form of a Group of Elite professors, "compiled" by Shi-mu, grand-mistress, defied the Importance of Equality, agree?

This Equality is a requisite in aspiring to be / cultivating to be Buddhas!

It is a major characteristic of all Buddhas and Form of Bodhicitta too! 

From the beginning, I, Lotuschef, keeps explaining about VIPs, VVIPs, and the Special Privileges they demand and take for granted to be matching of their Status in Life, that These are Anathema to Buddha's Philosophy and Dharma.

Hahaha!
Most treat me as crazy and utterly Mad!

Now that Shizun has explained Maha Perfection Dharma which he said is equivalent to Zen Buddhism, I sincerely hope that all students of Padmakumara, The Living Buddha Lian Sheng, will begin to Realize that in Buddhism, Attainment of Buddhahood is NOT DEPENDENT on your perceived elevation of status in Life!


The Ones who created all these Falsehood?
Shizun said many times: 因果自负  Karma is One's Own Responsibility!
Shizun also said that : If can't succor you this life-time, then wait for subsequent one when you have the Right Affinity! 


Now to answer those who lost Faith & Trust in Shizun because you kept seeing sentient antics of creating Segregation, Differentiation, Inequality, resulting in many being Unhappy, Feeling Inferior, Feeling Outcast,.... the Ones who made you Unhappy and etc. are Sentient Beings and they are Bound for their own private trip to the 3 Lower Realms or even Vajra Hell, upon their own steam!

Come back to Padmakumara's, The Living Buddha Lian Sheng's, embrace now!

For those who read my blogs regularly and like what I shared, come be my fellow student! 

Take Refuge in Padmakumara, The Living Buddha Lian Sheng, Now!

O! Please make sure The Living Buddha Lian Sheng is Grandmaster Lu Sheng Yan! 
Don't let any fakes cheat you or bluff you! 


For those who think that having your name announced by SZ is good for you, because you are "Elite", Hahaha, Think again.
Have you really contributed to Dharma Propagation for the Benefit of all beings?

O! Do you all recall the incident when SZ took out a NTD 100 note?

SZ said this is only PAPER!

Now realize his meaning after his sharing of Maha Perfection Dharma?

Hehe!

Now a local chapter proposed to build a temple to attract tourists, VIPs like Government officials, politicians, bankers, lawyers, doctors, ....; this great idea is from a VM LH!

I said: When there are needy sentient beings in need of succoring with Buddha Dharma, Divinities will choose someone or a group of True Yogi, to erect the relevant structure to facilitate the relevant necessaries! 
Do you agree?

For this case, the Temple gets build with ease and very little manual efforts!


Pure Karma Vihara with Form or Formless, spread over thousands of worlds of all Realms! 
And opens 24/7 for all beings with relevant affinity to "walk-in" by choice. :)

No Need in designing cheating schemes to raise funds for Temple Building!!!

Hahaha!

Happy Cultivating!
