Alternative Sadhana To Help Cope with Covid-19

Terjemahan Bahasa: Sadhana Alternatif Untuk Membantu Menanggulangi Covid-19

Refer to Lotuschef's maiden dharma speech here.


Written below are two sadhanas that you can practise to help fight Covid-19. With the concept that I shared during my maiden dharma speech, you can try the followings:

**[KEY is you are able to invoke Root Guru and with Root Guru as Link or Connector, help you successfully invoke Yidam of choice to EXECUTE AT WILL, your request or wish!
Of course, Yidam Abhiseka from Root Guru is the Basic essential!]

Remember the initial steps of sadhana as set down by Root Guru is Essential to proceed before Guru or Yidam yoga practices!

This alternative with White Mahapadmakumara as the yidam.

1. Form the White Mahapadmakumara mudra and visualise White Mahapadmakumara in the core of the earth with waves like white light radiating outwards, chasing out the darkness and all the deadly Covid-19 viruses with the sound and vibration of each mantra.

2. Then visualise that the earth is now shining with brilliant and dazzling white light and the whole global earth is patched with White Mahapadmakumaras ~ as many as all the beings existing on the earth.
Alternatively you can use white HOM seed syllable to fill the whole earth (see the 2nd alternative below with Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata as the yidam).

3. Now visualise a thick sphere of white light enclosing the global earth.

4. Maintain this visualisation and start to chant Padmakumara Mantra (the long version is recommended as it has the "Ah He Sa Sha Ma Ha" part that renders bardo deliverance as well, especially towards those who have died from the Covid-19 pandemic).

嗡。啞。吽。咕嚕貝。啞訶薩沙嗎哈。蓮生。悉地。吽。
"OM. AH. HOM. GURU BEI. A-HE-SHA-SA-MA-HA. LIEN-SHEN. SIDDHI. HOM."

This is Root Guru Yoga Combined with Bhaisajyaguru yoga.

You can also employ Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata (Medicine Buddha) as an additional yidam.

** [You must go through the initial steps of sadhana as set out by Root Guru! 
Invoke Root Guru's presence & chanting 108x of Guru's mantra. 
Then you can proceed to adding Bhaisajyaguru into this session of cultivation.]

1. The same with the first step above, change the yidam to Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata and form his mudra accordingly.

2. Also the same as the second step above and for this version you can visualise the patching of the earth surface with either Bhaisajyagurus or Blue HOM seed syllables.
[Bhaisajyaguru & associates eliminating the Illnesses from global earth & protecting all beings on global earth.]

3. Particularly for this version, in lieu of white light, visualise the assembly of Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata transforming into lemon-golden-coloured sphere of light enclosing the global earth.
[The lemon gold lighted sphere signifies Health And Auspiciousness ~ Wishing all beings Health & Auspiciousness.]

4. Maintain this visualisation and start to chant Bhaisajyaguru Mantra.

爹雅他。嗡。別卡子也。別卡子也。媽哈別卡子也。辣炸娑摩伽德黑。梭哈。
"Die-ya-ta. Om. Bie-ka-zi-ye. Bie-ka-zi-ye. Maha-bie-ka-zi-ye. La-zha-sha-mo-kya-de-hei. Soha."

禅宗公案 Zen Koan – 心与性 Heart & Nature

Terjemahan Indonesia: Koan Zen – Hati & Kodrat

有一学僧至南阳慧忠国师处参学，请示道：
A student monk went to study from Nan Yang Hui Zhong Guo Shi (State Master – normally the king's adviser), asking for teaching, said:

　　
‘禅－是心的别名，而“心”是在佛不增，

"Zen is heart's other name, and Heart is No Increasing Buddha,

在凡不减的真如实性，禅宗祖师们将此“心”易名为“性”，

In mortal realm, not decreasing true inherent buddha nature, Zen Patriarchs commonly named this Heart as Nature,

请问禅师，心与性之差别如何？’

please Zen Master, what is the difference between Heart and Nature?"

慧忠毫不隐藏的回答道：

Hui Zhong answered without any hold back:

‘迷时则有差别，悟时则无差别。　　　　　　

"When Lost then have difference, when Enlightened then no difference."

学僧又再进一步的问道：

Student monk proceed further and asked:

‘经上说：佛性是常，心是无常，为什么你会说无差别呢？’
"Sutra said: Buddha nature is permanent, Heart is impermanent, why do you say no difference?"

慧忠国师耐烦的举喻说明道：

Hui Zhong Guo Shi patiently gave example and said:

‘你只依语而不依义，譬如寒时结水成冰，暖时融冰成水；迷时结性成心，悟时融心成性，心性本同，依迷悟而有所差别。’

"You only adhere to language (Words) and not adhere to meaning, such as when cold form ice with water, when warm melt ice into water; when lost form nature as heart, when enlightened form heart as nature, heart and nature originally the same, the difference is present dependent on Lost or enlightened."

学僧终于契会于心。
Student monk finally put these statements in his heart.　
　　　　

在佛教里，心性的别名很多，如‘本来面目’，‘如来藏’、‘法身’、‘实相’、‘自性’、‘真如’、‘本体’、‘真心’、‘般若’、‘禅’等等。

这无非是用种种方法要吾人认识自己。

迷悟虽有差，本性则无异。

如黄金是一，但可制耳环、戒指、手镯等各种不同之金器，故金器虽异，实一黄金耳。

明乎此，心与性名虽不同，实则皆吾人之本体也。

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

Hahaha!

Terminology!

Another common culprit of Fixation! :)

Coincidentally, I was pondering on "One's Willpower" in Cultivation of Tantrayana!

YES! 

How One can "WILL" or mobilise Qi or Light energy in execution at will or 任运!

Of course, you must have knowledge like the above of whether there is any difference between your heart and your nature!

Remember that I am sharing "USE" of Buddha Dharma though.

Like cooking, One learns how to mix and match different ingredients to the utmost satisfaction of the diner/diners.

See now, why GM Lu bestowed the name of "Chef" to me?

Cheers all.

任运－用 Execute at Will – USE [1]

Terjemahan Indonesia: Renyun, Menjalankan Dengan Leluasa – DIAMALKAN [1]

In 2009 May, months before my first trip to Seattle and being ordained.

In a discussion of doing "Live Animal Release"practice:
I suggested that if we can't find a venue off shore then we do by the shore AND
using the Dorje to draw a HOM syllable in the sky and beam light to bless all Land, Sea & Air creatures.

Reverend LL said: I cannot do that, too ridiculous and Core will kill me! 
［太炫了！宗委会会杀死我！］- he means ridiculous here

Hahaha!

Dear all,
With the sharing of Maha Mudra and Maha Perfection Dharma by GM Lu, I am sure that most of you can now understand that what I suggested to the then reverend LL is what GM Lu taught as Execute at Will 任运!

When a fellow student compared me to a VM who went around a lake for more than 4 hours, ringing the bell and using the dorje to bless creatures in the lake, I told him that this VM has no inkling of Tantrayana at all!

WHY?
The same application or USE of the Dorje to light up a HOM syllable to shine on Land Sea Air will get all creatures blessed and cleanse too!
As I have stated, less than 30 seconds!

Ringing the Vajra Bell helps to spread the light or blessing further too, covering the whole global earth if One so please! :)

Does being a reverend change One's abilities?
Frankly speaking: Not really!

Does reverend LL knows how to go about USING the HOM syllable that I shared with him?

Hahaha!
He don't know what I am sharing is Maha Mudra & Maha Perfection Dharma!

Of course, the mechanics of how to draw a HOM in the sky and light it up is something that One must have the keys to!

I shared a similar method during the Medan event this August 15!

Now, look through this blog's articles carefully and see how many other methods I shared in [USE]!

If GM Lu can, then you can too!

Hahaha!

Requirement: Your sincerity and diligence in Cultivation for the benefit of all beings!

That's all!

Methods abound and is immeasurable too!

Find the Keys!


Cheers all.
