上师法还没相应-一切都是假的！No Guru Yoga Then Everything is False!

Terjemahan Bahasa: Tanpa Keberhasilan Guru Yoga Maka Semuanya Palsu! 上师法还没相应 – 一切都是假的！

Quoting from 告状的技巧？Technique of Lodging Complaints?:

[--- 很多真佛弟子皈依了很多年，才來問我：「我的本尊是誰？我的護法是誰？」

Many True Buddha School's students that had taken refuge for many years, just come and ask me: who is my Principle Yidam? My Dharmapala is who?

可見你還沒有修啊！
This Evidenced that you have not cultivated yet!

還有很多人，「上師相應法」都沒有修，「加行法」也沒有修。
Still there are many, have not even cultivate [Guru Yoga], [Preliminaries] also didn't cultivate. ---]

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

These are GM Lu's statements!

A group claimed credit for a fellow student's recovery from illness.

They claimed that this recovery is due to the group's leader, a VM, went to get GM Lu's blessing PERSONALLY several times!

Hahaha!

Remember in one of my post, a fellow reverend criticized me and told me that if I feel wronged by Admin then I should PERSONALLY SEEK out GM Lu to clarify matters?

AND, my reply to this person was?

Does a True & diligent student of GM Lu Really need to seek Root Guru's PHYSICAL PRESENCE?

As GM Lu said, asking him about Personal yidams Mean Only One Thing & that is Didn't cultivate Guru Yoga successfully and some even didn't cultivate basic Preliminaries Sadhana too!

So claiming credit for going to seek Root Guru's presence for blessing on behalf of a fellow student can only mean the VM has never realized what Tantrayana is all about, concur?

When in Hong Kong, I visited this student and gave her blessing by invoking Root Guru's presence and "transferred" energy to her while chanting Guru's mnatra.

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

YES! When a VM or anyone tells you that he/she NEEDS to Seek Root Guru's Physical Presence in order to get blessing for you, THEN this person is all false and a FAKE!

Hahaha! 

Words going around is that this VM making a real Fanfare with his claim of credit for the shijie's recovery!

It became BUSINESS for him!

Wake Up!

There are many XX in TBS and also this Saha world!

What does Success in Guru Yoga means?

师尊加持？GM Empowers?

CHAT:
TK: 那我明午12點約你在PP中午餐。想帶你見一見AA師姐。

佢一個人在老人院很悶。

Then tomorrow at noon we meet at PP to have lunch. Would like to bring you go visit AA shijie. She alone in old folks home very bored.

TK: 法師話呢個咒很重要。可以教HH姐諗

Fashi said this mantra very important. Go each HH shijie to chant it.

[AA: 😅😇😆😅😘😘😣 u法法希

法師快速回來探我. 法命我好雖要法師來過电比我😘]

(Fashi quick come and visit me, dharma life for me need fashi come over and charge me up)

KT : AA好快吸左電⚡

AA quickly absorbed electricity charging.

lotuschef: 😜😜😜

师尊疼她 Shizun cares for her

我只是中间人 I am only a middle person

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

I visited AA shijie who suffered from massive stroke affecting her right brain.
She is currently in an old folks home.
She can speak slowly with a lisp, her left side is weak.
I held her left hand and told her to chant Guru's long mantra.

I also silently chant along while I focus my "energy" on her.
"Electric Currents" started to flow down circling my crown and down both sides of my face to my left hand, and transferring to AA shijie.

This time, the intensity of current is real strong and lasted for about 10 minutes.
KT shijie was looking on and she was amazed.
Anyway, AA shijie brightened up and she asked me to hug her before I leave.

Now KT was telling me that a VM took some of AA's personal stuff all the way to get GM Lu to personally bless or empower them and brought them back to give to AA shijie.

Dear all,
Remember I wrote about the following?

1. A VM said to fellow students that she will go ask GM Lu on their behalf.
2. A Dharma lecturer gathered letters from fellow students and told them that she will sit down with GM Lu to go through their letters one by one.
3. Now, this latest one, brought stuff to seek GM Lu to personally bless or empower them.

Hahaha!

In all the above cases, the VMs & Dharma lecturer all have yet to cultivate to achieve Guru yoga, agree?

Just holding AA shijie's hand, and chanting Guru's mantra, Guru can bless AA shijie where ever she is and there is no need for anyone to go seek out Guru personally with personal items of hers at all!

After recent "drop-outs" of XX, named successor and his partners, VM LH of Surabaya......; have you woken up to the FACT that I am telling you the Truth all the time?

Tantrayana is simple and infinite and knowledge of fundamentals is the KEY to USE Buddha Dharma at will with ease as per situational needs!

正思惟～师尊加持？Right Resolve ~ GM's blessing empowerment?

Terjemahan Bahasa: Pemikiran Benar ~ Berkat dari Mahaguru?

正思惟又作正志、諦念，包括出離思惟、無恚思惟、無害思惟，其中思惟可分為三種：邪思惟、漏正思惟、無漏正思惟。

正思惟指正確思惟，以引導生如理如實的智慧。特指離開世俗的錯悟分別，離開邪妄迷謬，而作佛教的純真的智慧思索，即指聞、思、修、證的第二階段。
出離，是指远离贪业。
無恚，指滅除嗔怒，生起慈心。
無害，是指滅除殘忍，生起悲心。

Right thought Right intention (samyak-saṃkalpa/sammā sankappa) can also be known as "right thought", "right resolve", "right conception", "right aspiration" or "the exertion of our own will to change".

In this factor, the practitioner should constantly aspire to rid themselves of whatever qualities they know to be wrong and immoral. 

Correct understanding of right view will help the practitioner to discern the differences between right intention and wrong intention. 

In the Chinese and Pali Canon, it is explained thus:

And what is right resolve? 

Being resolved on renunciation, on freedom from ill will, on harmlessness: 

This is called right resolve.

It means the renunciation of the worldly things and an accordant greater commitment to the spiritual path; good will; and a commitment to non-violence, or harmlessness, towards other living beings.

Right Thought (sammà samkappa) is the second step on the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. 

Thoughts are either words or pictures that form in the mind and which are often accompanied by or give rise to feelings which in turn may give rise to actions.

The second part of the eightfold path is Right Thought. 

All of the parts are not in any particular order except that you start with Right Understanding and end with Right Understanding. 

All of the parts are to be performed simultaneously. 

The difference with Right Understanding is simply that you begin with some understanding of the Buddha’s teachings and end with an experiential understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. 

All the while all eight parts are treaded simultaneously.

The Buddha described two types of thought; 

wandering thought (vicàra) and logical or directed thought (vitakka). 

Normally our mind is filled with scattered, random, wandering thoughts and we have little say in what they are or what they will be next. When we have a task to do or a problem to solve, the will takes hold of and directs our thoughts in a particular direction. But usually, as soon as the task is finished or the problem solved, the will subsides and thoughts begin their erratic wandering again. The Buddha made the important but often overlooked observation that, ‘Whatever one thinks about and ponders on often the mind gets a leaning in that way’ (M.I,115). 

The more of a particular type of thoughts we think, the more they will occur. 

If we often have thoughts of greed and allow them to persist they will tend to occupy our mind more frequently and we may begin to act in a more greedy manner. 

Therefore an important aspect of Buddhist training is to cultivate Right Thought, not to let negative thoughts persist within our mind and to encourage positive thoughts. 

The Buddha broadly defines Right Thought as thoughts of detachment, of love and of helpfulness (M.III,251). Right Concentration, Right Mindfulness and Right Effort are of course important in helping the development of Right Thought.

Right Thought includes thoughts of love and non-violence extending to all beings. In vipassana meditation awareness is placed on thoughts with intent to cease thoughts so that the meditation remains in the present moment free from unwholesome thoughts. Right Thought basically refers to wholesome thoughts, which is closely tied to Right Understanding because it results eventually through the practice and attainment of wisdom.

The first two verses of the first chapter of the Dhammapada by the Buddha, are:

“All we are is the result of what we have thought, it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”

Our thoughts are as important to us as our actions because they make up who we are, thus, it becomes imperative that we keep our thoughts pure.

An example is to imagine if your thoughts are filled with money and how to get more money. Greed becomes a big part of your life. It defines who you are. Your thoughts become fixated on money and this is who you become.

Another example is a person with what is commonly called, “a one track mind.” Such a person focuses his mind and thoughts on only one topic. All of this person’s conversation tends to run on this one subject. It begins with the thoughts and then permeates to define that person.

An optimistic person is one who sees things in a positive way. This person radiates happiness and loving kindness. Such a person greets people with a smile and it is from the heart and not just conformation to etiquette. This positive attitude had its start with good, positive thoughts.

By keeping our thoughts wholesome and in the present we encourage only productive thoughts. Thoughts can then be useful and not counter-productive.

Another quote from the Buddha in regard to the value of Right Thought is:

“Your worst enemy can not harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, no one can help you as much, not even your father or your mother.” (Dh., chapter 3)

来摸顶得加持？Come For Mo-ding & Get Blessed?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Datang Demi Mo-ding & Dapat Berkat?

In one of Shi-mu's speeches, she said that "must come here every Saturday and get Mo-ding Blessing from GM Lu.

Hehehe!

I was strolling along towards the wet market and food centre nearby.

AND, chanting Guru Mantra, sharing light energy with all.

This [Come For Mo-ding & Get Blessed] flashed through my mind.  :)

Dear all, after learning from GM Lu for 40+ or less years, have you yet to realise that as long as you are cultivating diligently with all the goodies that GM Lu shared all these years, you will be blessed with whatever you need to support dharma for the benefit of all beings!

Pure Karma has lots of photos showing presence of light orbs, which as per GM Lu contains Mandala of divine beings.

If you can invoke Root Guru's presence then no matter where you are, you will always be blessed with light energy to carry out the necessary to benefit all beings.

So, ask yourself now: Am I adhering to all the keys that are guides shared by GM Lu?

Have you gotten rid of Unwholesome habits?

Are you willing to really put others before Self?

Or really practice the Wisdom of Equality of all Buddhas?

If you have been really paying attention to the most recent speeches by GM Lu, have you picked up that Cultivation must be by Self efforts and in a step by step manner from the very bottom rung of the ladder?

Instead of travelling frequently to attend events around the world, why don't you cut down on these trips and donate the funds to charitable causes in GM Lu's name? 

You see, when you start to think for others and practice this sharing of resources with others, you are smack on the Bodhi Path which many dream of, crave for, or lied about being on,...... :)

And Not Only GM Lu will come bless you wherever you are, but the whole universe will do so too! :)

GM Lu said that the "Invisible" is more precious!

And he also shared the story of Physical presence and Virtual or Astral presence, of the timing in welcoming of Sakyamuni Buddha by 2 disciples.

The one that was first in welcoming was not the one that did so Physically! :)

(This story is shared in this blog already, you can go look it up.)

Hahaha! The argument is always - O! there are people that still can't cultivate well to receive blessing wherever they are! They still need GM Lu's physical presence and blessing!

Didn't you all understand when GM Lu said that "I cultivate daily to set you all an example only"?

Now, think what does "No Cultivation Yoga" means?

Whether a person is cultivating or not, only those with Divine eyes can see!

Hahaha! 

Like GM Lu walks around the display of food before meals in Seattle, and jokes about the food too, what is he doing?

He is cleansing and blessing the food and also creates a joyful environment conducive for all beings to partake the nourishment!

O! You can't see so don't have?

Then you also can't see the blessing you received from Mo-ding or Abhiseka too!

Hehe!

What's next?

Absolute Faith or Trust in One's Root Guru and steer clear of people that tell you that you must do this and that too!

Now being sponsors at events?

GM Lu said If you Want to be ....... then you be a sponsor!

Hahaha! 

Draw upon the Heart Sutra now.

Yes! 

The words of GM Lu, a Living Buddha, speaking in Buddha's Language.

What does [ If you Want to be ....... then you be a sponsor!] means now?

The Heart Sutra is your very key to all Dharma doors!

Cheers all.

佛的遗物 A Buddha's Legacy [3]

Terjemahan Indonesia: Pusaka Warisan Buddha [3]

Also read: 佛的遗物 A Buddha's Legacy [1]

Also read: 佛的遗物 A Buddha's Legacy [2]

In article [1], I shared some of Atisha's legacies.

Atisha as we all know, is one of GM Lu's past lives.

Through various lifetime, GM Lu has reincarnated into various gurus, compiling and sharing authentic Buddha Dharma and corresponding cultivation techniques.

Article [2] - In this lifetime, the 250+ books that GM Lu has written, and the speeches he has given, all documenting over & over again, what a person needs to do from start to finish in Cultivation to attain Buddhahood.

Like Sakyamuni Buddha, showing all a way to break free and leave endless transmigration within the 6 realms!

No matter where and when, a Buddha's reincarnation serves only One Purpose!

That is to teach and help all to break free and leave the endless transmigration cycle!

Now, buying stuff that are gifts to GM Lu?

Think!

Does GM Lu needs the $$$?

If so, then for what purpose and in what amount?

Hahaha!

GM Lu has shared many times that he don't need much money to spend whether in Seattle or Taiwan.

Did you missed all these information or just ignored what GM Lu said?

Now the Legal Suit Saga!

GM Lu has repeatedly stressed that he will not sue anyone in this lifetime!

Why did students ignored this and went ahead to create negatives?

Recently GM Lu again explained why there is no need to heed what others choose to hurl at you, when you are a Buddha! :)

In the latest speech, GM Lu again talked about One's deeds that are "recorded" and those that are not!

Hahaha! 

Good or bad, Karma is always One's own responsibility!

Now my view on the sale of gifts presented to GM Lu and his drawings & paintings from his leisurely pursuits.

Why do you want to possess any one of these items?

Greed of the "Promised blessing or enhancement" for you, personally! 

When the "Demand" is Null then the "Supply" is void or frivolous!

Do you agree?

The problem?

Students have to learn to respect Guru truly and not believe those that are out to grab $$$ to appease their own cravings and desires!

Those that buy the items and return them to GM Lu, also helps in the "Demand" arena! 

Yes! 

Your $$$ should be ploughed into Charitable channels in GM Lu's name, and this will be more worthy than sustaining a "Demand" for GM Lu's personal items!

My point?

You are aiding and abetting the crooks in forcefully robbing GM Lu!

The most important Legacy you truly need from GM Lu?

Already given to you but you are too blind to see and use it!

Cheers all.

The Importance of Jin-mu

Terjemahan Indonesia: Pentingnya Jin-mu

Referring to the recorded sermon:

• 2015年8月30日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥開講「大圓滿九次第法」-彩虹雷藏寺
• 08/30/2015 Nine Stages Dharma of the Great Perfection Dzogchen by Grand Master Lu-Rainbow Temple

In the above speech, GM Lu once again stressed how important is Jin-mu in healing and most sentient matters.

In the example of Shi-mu needing blessing whenever she is ill and suffering greatly, all she needs is GM Lu to invoke Jin-mu's presence to bless her.

She will be fine quickly.

From another angle: 

Why shi-mu can't invoke Jin-mu's presence to help herself?

The answer is also in the same speech!

Now GM Lu talks about Cultivation must do step by step or stage by stage, advancing only when One has mastered the initial step or stage!

So? Back to building foundation that I have stressed repeatedly! :)

Another interesting topic was about Green Tara's vow that all those that betrayed their Root Guru will not be help by Green Tara.

Also those that caused disharmony in Sangha Assembly, resulting in break up of the Assembly and members leaving.

Hahaha!

Core stuck this crime on Lotuschef few years ago!

Alleging that Lotuschef caused havoc or chaos in the Sangha Assembly and therefore the penalty is to remove from TBS reverend list!

Now, many fellow students left TBS well before Lotuschef takes refuge!

Likewise, many reverends also left of their own accord!

Why suddenly need to pin such a crime onto Lotuschef?

Hahaha!

I just recalled that a lackey of Core, using a Facebook account named "Tok Chef", in which the mentioned of a reverend by the name of "Lian Jie -discipline", who allegedly continue to breach disciplines was liken to Lotuschef!

Bear in mind though that this Lian Jie left TBS with a big group of fellow students and not delisted or chased away with penalties!

He has his own temples and functioning pretty well too with lots of followers in various countries too!

What has he done?

GM Lu said in the above speech: If you leave, please refrain from slandering your guru!

For those wise ones, with discernment, Lotuschef has never slander or talk bad about Root Guru, GM Lu, but instead promote "absolute faith & trust" in GM Lu, her one & only Root Guru!

In a world whereby Wisdom of Buddhas is prioritised, shouldn't you all try to show some wisdom when attempting to "Pin" false allegations on anyone?

Hahaha!

Why does Shi-mu always need GM Lu to invoke Jin-mu's presence to bless and heal her?

Why does Shi-mu always preach that "You must come to temple every Saturday in order get blessing from GM Lu"?

In the same speech, GM Lu said that YOU need to break free to attain Buddhahood!

Isn't GM Lu trying again and again to teach you to "DIY -do it yourself"?

If you can't DIY, means that you have not bothered to Listen to GM Lu and practice accordingly, concur?

To invoke the presence of Jin-mu or any divinity, GM Lu said the Key is Absolute Faith!

ALL in the same speech too!

Wake up or continue to sleep? 

Cheers all.

指頭放白色光芒 Finger Point Emitting White Light

Terjemahan Indonesia: Ujung Jari Memancarkan Cahaya Putih

Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 248_天垂異象 (Sky Curtained Down Unusual Phenomena)

指頭放白色光芒


我深深覺得，學佛之人，須下定決心，有幾件事要特別注意：
一、去除凡情。立志學佛，世俗之凡情，少沾染。
二、宜脫俗氣。粗俗的凡事，與行者無涉，不要去學俗法。
三、摒棄習性。人皆有惡習，要把不好的習慣斷盡，偷、盜、淫、妄、酒、貪、瞋、痴…。
四、清淨淫欲。人心太半貪色貪花，淫心不可起，不淨的地方勿去。
五、名利勿求。凡事不求名、不求利，淡泊名利，如此則名利心不紛紛擾擾。
六、滅去我見。一般來說，我執重的人，我見也重，我見往往是偏見，宜學習古聖之言。
七、宜泯法執。修法時，也不宜太執著法，法法自然最重重，法應尚捨，何況非法，學佛要知道變通。
八、宜除煩惱。盡量把自己放空，過去的煩惱勿憶起，現在的煩惱宜去除，未來的煩惱不去想。

這也是：
隨世應世。
因物付物。
對境忘境。
居塵出塵。
世事宜看得空。
世情宜看得淡。
對萬萬事物，宜擔得起，尤宜放得下。
當我坐法座上。
我必須收拾起千心萬心，收拾起萬事萬物，我變成一位孤單單的行者，空氣已漸漸的凝固了起來。
精神集中。
無二念。
身不動。

我將一個指頭伸出。
我的口念著咒語。
身是本尊。
意在加持。

於是，指頭的白光就透了出來。
有圖為證。

那個時候：
那是光的出現，光會射向了灌頂幡的人群，這時候，灌頂幡就有了本尊光，人群也有本尊光，浮蕩蕩的空氣，全是白光了。
熱熱的。
香香的。
舒舒的。
熨貼在每一個人的身子上。

法流舒展開來。

The Dharma Energy Flow easily spreads out.

快速的運轉在每一個人的心。

Speedily Transported and Mobilising everyone's hearts.

每一個人的心就化為一朵開放的蓮花。

Everyone's heart transformed into a blossoming Lotus.

那是：That is:
本尊降臨壇城。

Yidam descends upon Altar.

本尊降臨我身。

Yidam descends upon my Body.

本尊在手指頭。

Yidam at my Finger point.

本尊在群眾的心。

Yidam in heart of the crowd.

~~~~~~~

The above detailed how GM Lu does Abhiseka and the Requisites or Crucial Factors for HIM to do so. :)

The Key is Pure Body Speech Mind!

Executing the Basics or Fundamentals of Buddha Dharma, One can thus Emit Light for Blessing or Abhiseka at ease and at will!

If you want to know what GM Lu shared above, please do your own translation. :)

O! for those that have no language barrier, do you truly understand what GM Lu is trying to tell you?

Hahaha! 

Language Barrier is not a True Hindrance to One who is diligent and true to learning Buddha Dharma WITH the Sincere Mindset!

For AFFINITY is your key!

AND please ASK when you don't understand!

Crazy Wisdom – How Much Is Truly Enough?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kebijaksanaan yang nampak gila – Menurutmu Seberapa Banyak Hingga Dianggap Benar-benar Cukup?

Also watch: 2013年10月20日聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥賜授「喜金剛不共大法」灌頂 -彩虹雷藏寺

The above scenario are very commonly seen each time SZ gives Abhiseka.

Look at all grades of students too busy with holding belongings that they think must get blessing and that is to ensure these belongings touch the Abhiseka Banners!!!


Whatever happen to the contents of Guru's speech of Not Requiring Anything and to Let Go?

What happen to the Basic practice of Mudra, Visualization & Mantra too?

Hahaha!

You don't cultivate as taught by Guru and you blame Guru?

Never do that, YOU are solely responsible as you chose personal belongings over and above Guru's instruction to Form Mudra, Do Visualization and Chant Mantra for Abhiseka!

Then the other scenario is some students felt they need to go round repeatedly to GET MORE blessing and Lock-In the Abhiseka given that day.

Well! If doing these make you Happy and Satisfied and you can sleep soundly after, please continue too!


During Fire puja session, I noticed that after helping some students do offering, they still hung on to the Lotus Offering and Incense sticks and stood near the Fire Pit and continue their "conversation" or request or wishing for quite some time before finally deem satisfied to give over the Offering to the Fire Deity!!!

Chatting with Guru, I have stopped helping each individual do offering and let all of them learn and do offering on their very own.

YES! SZ said its time that all learn to stand on their own 2 feet! :)

So far so good!

If you think hanging on to the Offering and tell all you want to tell and ask all you want to ask is what you really need, then carry on.
The Operative is As Long As You Are Satisfied & Happy!!!


Mindset!!!
Hahaha!


Cheers all.

More Suffering More Blessing!

Terjemahan Indonesia: Lebih Menderita berarti Lebih Banyak Berkat!

Photo taken in Ipoh at Lotus YS' residence, the venue for our Fire Puja cultivation session.
Part of Pure Karma's team of regular volunteers from all over the world. :)


A shijie commented one day while we were preparing offering for fire puja: More Suffering More Blessing!

I told her that is not True!

WHY?

When there is Expectation of Blessing as a result of what you termed Suffering, then what you do is null and void, because you lack Sincerity!

Buddha teaches us to leave Suffering behind and attain Happiness, and we cultivate with this mindset.

Is there Suffering?
Hahaha!

All Self Created, agree?

We were burning incense paper after a session, this shijie said she must have some of each type to offer into the Fire!

The Incense paper offering is dedicated as whole group and who gets to burn which type is of no importance at all!

However, if you think if you burn more then you get more blessing or thanks, then please do not burn any!
As when you are selfishly considering only yourself and depriving others of the opportunity to offer the incense too, you already Lack Sincerity!


If the incense are sponsored by others, like the incense sticks in the temples, then you are in dire straits if you think the more you offer, the more blessing you can get.

I told a student in Ipoh that if you take the temple's incense to offer and ask that you be bless in offering incense, or your named person/persons be blessed; you owe the ones that bought the incense!

However, if you offer incense bought by others and asked that all beings be bless with peace, health and happiness, that's a different kettle of fish!

Did you or did you not sponsor any of the incense that you offer into the incense burners?

I see some of them grab a big stack and leave others without after cultivation session.
You never get to clear your karmic debts but increase them all the time only!

My humble suggestion: Best don't do at all!

Most of the incense for Pure Karma events are sponsored by Lotuschef, do you want to owe a Reverend?
Owing a reverend means you owe All Beings!

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

Let me ask you this.
If you have offered cakes to others. After eating, they commented the quality not too good.
What would you do?
Haha! Get them to regurgitate the cakes out?
Well, I think it is good in this instant that they are honest with you, so that you won't buy from the same source to share with others!

There was this incident in the temple whereby a florist make a wish before Chinese New Year to Buddha.
She asked for good sales of her flowers during the festive season and promised to make up 3 bouquet of artificial flowers to offer and display in the main halls for the whole year.

The bouquets were shifted during Vesak Day because of lack of space. On her subsequent visit, she made a lot of noise with the the care-taker of hall.
I came upon them arguing heatedly.
After asking what is the problem.
I told the florist, you have done what you promised. Buddha has also accepted your offering.
What and where and how the temple is going to do with your offering is already not important.
For example, if you offered food to the Buddha and then you shared them with others.
You not only offer to Buddha but also to others. Isn't this better to be able to SHARE.

The bouquets are very nicely done and whoever sees them benefit from the beauty of them and a feeling of joy results. Likewise with food, her bouquets benefited many and she also fulfilled her Promise.
I asked her whether she can sleep easy now without relocating her bouquets.
She said: Yes. She won't insist on relocation  her bouquets anymore.

When we make a gift or offering, do not still get attached to how others going to use them.

Another word on Buddha Beads, there are no such thing. When One attached properties to things, and insist that others adhere to the same. This cause Suffering to self as well as others.

Whatever GM blesses, for example ourselves, if we whole-heartedly receive we get Full-Charged.
However, this Charge will "wear-off" with time if we do not cultivate diligently to maintain them.

GM would be happier to bless us, all the time whenever we cultivate rather than we go seek his blessings in Person.

内供养/ 外供养 Internal & External Offering

Terjemahan Bahasa: Persembahan Dalam & Luar 内供养/ 外供养

We were at the HSR in Taichung.
We bought a few lunch boxes of meat and rice.

After deliverance and cleansing, we did the Great mandala offering and began to eat.

E shared his with his wife, V.

I told V to chant [Om Ah Hom] to cleanse before offering / eating.
[The Buddha/Divinities within also need to eat 'purified' food.]

J and S immediately asked me why V needs to do offering again with the same box of food which is already offered by E.

Dear readers, have you been reading my blog articles?

What did GM said about offerings? I posted this recently.

In offering,  then partaking of the food, one is actually offering to the Buddha and Divinities WITHIN.

When we do Fire Puja, we are offering EXTERNALLY to all Divinities and those listed in the script as offerers receive blessings or merits. Of course participants/attendees are also on the receiving end of these Offering sessions.

V is the only one that came out with [内供养/ 外供养 Internal and External Offering].

She also obediently do the cleansing then offering.

Haha!

GM said everything we do is CULTIVATION!
Read more of GM's articles for they contain great wisdom of an Enlighten One.
