四攝法 Four Dharmas of Attraction

Terjemahan Bahasa: Empat Dharma Pemikat 四攝法

Quoting from Is there Discrimination? 有排斥/歧视否？:

[--- The 4 dharmas of attraction are Boddhisattva's cultivation path.
They include 4 variants ~ dana, loving language, beneficial practice, working as a team.
The core of these 4 dharmas of attraction is the 4 Immeasurable Heart or Mindset.

其中《華嚴經》(Flower Adornment Sutra) 亦有提到：「若能成就四攝法，則與眾生無限利」。If able to attain the 4 dharmas of attraction, then will infinitely benefit all beings.

而《维摩經》(Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa-sūtra) 則說：「先以欲鈎牵，后令入佛智」，兩者均說明四攝法的重要性，眾生平日亦應多修行四攝法。
First with Desire as Hook, then lead to enter Buddha's wisdom, both explained clearly the importance of 4 dharmas of attraction, all beings should thus cultivate these 4 dharmas of attraction daily. ---]

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

I do wonder how many TBS' students can point out when GM Lu shared the likes of this 4 Dharma of Attraction?

I happened to read one of GM Lu's book that said there are 6 ways to attract people to spark their interest in Tantrayana or Tantric Buddhism.

Yes, Hooks that target Human desires and cravings!

These Hooks are showing transcendental abilities to Heal, to predict future, to look into One's past-lifetimes, to read individual's aura or current status, accurate geomancy readings,.......

I met this lady friend (non TBS's student, also no religious leaning) of one of my relative during the recent KL Heruka event. 

She said "Hi" to me outside the ladies washroom.

Took me awhile to place her, as I met her briefly some 3 or 4 years ago.

My relative said to me that evening that this lady needs help, and can I help her.

I replied that since she is able to attend GM Lu's event, lets wait and see.

She can wait a few days then sent me a photo of herself taken that very day.

Auras changes, and if her sincerity is True then her aura should change for the better after attending GM Lu's event.

What did I read from this lady's aura?

She is aggressive and into some big disputes!

Hahaha! 

Of course, can't help her to down her preys!

Do bear steadfastly in mind that Buddha Dharma is not to be use to the detriment of any beings, at all cost!

A person that initiates Aggression and Hostilities has no affinity with Buddha!

O! Have a good look at Mr Sheep of recent posts too!

If his profile picture is not that of someone else, then he also falls into the category of Lacking Buddha Affinity as of his profile picture and his statements!

Yes! His statements are his Body Speech Mind and his profile picture an added bonus to read him accurately!

To those that don't read Chinese, try and get a Chinese proficient person to translate Mr Sheep's statements! 

Then try and see what you can discern from them! 

The Four Dharmas of Attraction are not for those lacking Buddha Affinity and also those lacking in Boddhicitta!

Remember how TBS' Admin sanctioned legal actions against those that defame GM Lu, whilst GM Lu said he don't perceive any defamation at all!

Well, Mr Sheep and those with Like Mindsets are "Victims" of such aggressive teachers dressed up with the 5 Buddhas Crown!

Sincerely hope that with a new chairperson in admin, all strayed sheep will be lead back to the Bodhi Path and stay on the Bodhi Path in step with Root Guru, GM Lu!

O! Aggression and Hostilities don't work with me, so don't waste your time and efforts again trying to "down me"!

Do pay due attention to GM Lu's teachings to save yourself!

With Metta,

实话实说－与师尊步入 Telling the Truth as It is - Stepping in with GM Lu

Terjemahan Bahasa: Memberitahukan Kebenaran Apa Adanya – Melangkah masuk bersama Mahaguru Lu 实话实说－与师尊步入

［如法］修行？
［Permitted/legal] Cultivation?

哈哈哈！
Hahaha!

[实话实说]?
[Telling the Truth as it is]?


“师尊：还有网络上的同门。。。。”
"GM Lu: Still have fellow students over the web..."

师尊在开示前都将大家［唤］来！
GM Lu calls out to all before his speech!

这不就是师尊慈悲而不弃任何一个众生吗？
Is this not GM Lu's compassion of not neglecting any one sentient being?

师尊教的：四无量心观？
GM Lu taught : Four Immeasurable Visualisation?

也一样是包括了六道众生。
Also include or encompass all beings of the 6 realms.

无论你在六道的那里，都能［一起参加同修］！
No matter where you are at in the 6 realms, also can [join in to cultivate]!

你呢？What about you?
只要用心，［每日一修］而已！
You only need to be diligent and [Cultivate once a day] only!

不要浪费你那短短的寿命，追［泡影］！
Do not waste your short life-span, chasing [Bubble-shadow]!

你真的明白你自己真正需要什么吗？
Do you really know well what you really need?

四無量心的口訣 - 無我 4 Immeasurable Heart's Key Secret – Selfless

Terjemahan Indonesia: Instruksi Oral untuk 4 Apramana – Tiada Aku (Anatman)

Above: Lotuschef during her maiden dharma speech in Seattle, USA, on 7 November 2009. Main topic shared: The wonders of [4 Immeasurable Heart]!

蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 75_真佛法中法 > 四無量心的口訣 - 無我

密宗的「四無量心」，其意義如下：

　　令一切眾生之樂，及樂因，永永不失，是慈無量。

　　令一切眾生之苦，及苦因，永永脫離，是悲無量。

　　令一切眾生永遠不斷喜樂，及喜樂之因，是喜無量。

　　令一切眾生，遠離分別愛憎，苦樂善惡，悉皆平等，是捨無量。

　　這「四無量心」就是「慈、悲、喜、捨」的心。

　　簡單的解釋「四無量心」又如下：

　　與一切眾生樂，名慈無量。

　　拔一切眾生苦，名悲無量。

　　見人行善或離苦得樂，深生歡喜，名喜無量。

　　以上三心，捨之而不執著，或怨親平等，不起愛憎，名捨無量。

　　這四無量心，能依禪定而修，可達色界梵天，因而被稱為「四梵行」，由無量心，引來無量之福。

　　「蓮生活佛」在「密藏奇中奇」中有一文，即「無量心之觀」，這是發願度眾生的行者，所須修的「圓滿大覺」。
Living Buddha Lian Sheng mentioned in [Tantrayana's Unusual within Unusual], that is [Visualisation of Immeasurable Heart], this is a necessary cultivation of [Rounded Perfection Big Realisation] for a cultivator that vows to succour sentient beings.

　　無量心就是「廣大平等」的心。
Immeasurable Heart is [Widespread Equality] kind of mindset/heart.

　　我要大家密修「四無量心」，是將自身轉成等同微塵身，一一父母，一一冤親，一一眾生，均化為自己。

　　其實這是自己，也即是「一一父母」，「一一冤親」，「一一眾生」。

當自己變化成一一眾生時，也就是「無我」。
When Self transformed into all Sentient Beings, then is [Selfless].

　　這「無我」，確確實實是四無量心的大口訣。

　　要知道，一個人能忘卻自己，就無有私心，合於三法印之一的「諸法無我」印，能慈悲喜捨的人，一定是無私心的人，因無私，忘卻自己，自然而然終成了無量心。

　　要進入無量心的無我思想，其依序是：
Want to enter Immeasurable Heart's Selfless mentality, need to adhere to:

　　第一，先明白世事無常。
One, first understand all matters are impermanent.

　　第二，再細思諸法無我。
Two, then minutely ponder on selflessness of all dharma.

　　第三，想想無始以來，父、母、兄、弟、子女、朋友，以及六親眷屬，尚在輪迴之中，不知出離苦海，枉受痛苦，尚等待我去救援。

眾生「我執」太重了。
Three, ponder on as from time immemorial, father, mother, elder & younger brothers, offsprings, friends, and relatives & their families, still in transmigration, not knowing to leave sea of suffering, suffering in vain, still waiting for me to rescue. 

Sentient beings' [Self's attachment] too heavy.

　　第四，我及眾生，為無明所覆，因惑造業纏使循環，今已識破因緣，固當次第修行，達即身成佛，然後運想自己與父母六親眷屬及一切眾生合一，求佛加被，普度脫困。
Four, Self and sentient beings are covered by Ignorance, because of confusion they create karma that entangle them in cycles, now realised the cause and effects, should firmly cultivate level by level, attaining body becoming Buddha, then use visualisation to merge self and all kins and sentient beings into One, requesting Buddha's empowerment, widely succour all in breaking free of entanglement or imprisonment. 

　　何謂「無我」？

我們可以想想，我的一切名字，是真實的我嗎？

當然不是的。

我的肉身就是我嗎？

當然不是。

這一切悉皆不實。

人的身體是因緣所成，其心識上的變化，亦是五陰所成，離識非有。

　　「我」根本非獨立性的實有。

　　「我」是假有實無的。

「有我」是一切煩惱的根源。

　　明白了「無我」之道，「四無量心」可成。

　　過去，常常有人問我，如何改變命運？
In the past, people often ask me, how to change fate?

　　我答：「心若廣大平等，可以改運。」
I answered: Heart if widely equal, can change fate.

　　「如何廣大平等？」
How to be widely equal?

　　「無我。」我答。
[Selfless]. I answered.

　　坦白說，若有一個人，能修行達於「無我」的境界，其人之心已無量，周遍天界，自然諸天均是護法，引生無量之福，一切災厄自當逸去而不著身。

Frankly speaking, if an individual can cultivate to attain [Selfless] level, this individual's heart already infinite or immeasurable, spreading over all Heavenly realms, naturally all Heavens are dharmapalas, leading to growth of immeasurable auspiciousness, all calamities naturally turn away and not touch/attach to body.

因為修行「四無量心」的人，不起顛倒妄想．無我無私，一切災厄不會著身。

Because this individual cultivate [4 Immeasurable Heart/mindset], Vikalpa won't arise, Selfness and unbiased, all calamities won't touch/attach to body.

同時了知一切法理，通達無礙的境界。
At the same time, fully comprehend all dharma theories, understanding of all unhindered levels.

　　修成「無我」，身子已化為無，所以可以小至如微塵一般，任何細緻之地均可入。
Attaining [Selflessness], bodily form can transform to Nothingness/Void, thus can be minute like speck of dust, can enter any minute space.

　　修成「無我」，身子可以變大，大至如宇宙上下十方，皆可包容。
Attaining [Selflessness], bodily form can transform to large, as large as universe's top and bottom Ten directions, also can take in.

　　「無我」的境界，是述說不盡的，本來自性清淨涅槃，湛然如虛空，四無量心，離諸一切分別之相，言語道斷，心行處滅，聖者可親證之。
(The 4 Immeasurable Heart/mindset - distanced all dualistic forms)

　　「無我」至小。

　　「無我」至大。

　　「無我」者，一切罪業全部滅除，既已「無我」，何為罪業？
[Selfless] individual, all sins destroyed, since already [Selfless], what is sins?

　　「四無量心」的大口訣，就是「無我」。

The great key of [4 Immeasurable Heart/mindset] is [Selfless].

Quoting from 盧勝彥文集 ＞ 235_虛空來的訪客 - 慈心的光芒

 
Extract:
我問廣才菩薩：I asked Guang-cai Boddhisattva:
 

「為什麼仍然有眾生無法感應到慈心的光芒呢？」
Why are there still sentient beings that can't feel/sense brightness of kind heart?

 

廣才菩薩答：Guang-cai Boddhisattva answered:

 

「有些眾生的心中，充滿了吃醋、嫉妒、憤怒、仇恨等等負面的心思。

There are some sentient beings' minds that are filled with envy, jealousy, anger, hatred, etc...... negative kind of thoughts.

更有些是非常驕傲和自負的，他們整個人是虛榮的堡壘。

Still have some that are very proud and prideful, they are a whole castle of vanity.

這些人顯得可怕又可憐。

These people appear to be scary and pathetic.

這一等人，當然無法感應到慈心的光芒。」

This type of people, naturally won't be able to sense the brightness of kind heart.

Extract: 

2009-11-07 要廣傳真佛密法 - 师尊开示 
Must widely propagate True Buddha Tantric Dharma - GM Lu's dharma speech

什麼叫做「大乘佛法」？

大乘佛法就是說視眾生重於自己的，叫做「大乘佛法」。
什麼叫做「小乘佛法」呢？小乘就是視自己重於眾生的，就是「小乘佛法」。
大小乘是這樣子分的。

所以，剛才蓮廚法師講的，「四無量心」、「菩提心」、「利他的心」最重，就是大乘佛法，可以成就佛。
Therefore, just now Reverend Lotuschef's statements of [4 Immeasurable Heart], [Boddhicitta], [Benefit Others' Heart] of most import, that is Mahayana's Buddha Dharma, CAN attain Buddhahood.

小乘佛法不能成佛，為什麼不能，因為他利己，沒有利他，沒有菩提心。
佛菩薩是有菩提心的，沒有菩提心只能夠證到阿羅漢，只能夠證到緣覺。
嗡嘛呢唄咪吽。

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

Hahaha!

YES! 

「四無量心」[4 Immeasurable Heart]!

Transformation are infinite too!

All Situational responses and relevant applications to succour sentient beings!

Try to understand why GM Lu places this 「四無量心」[4 Immeasurable Heart] visualisation right in front of cultivation steps.

You can't progress if you don't understand what you are doing from the start!

I shared the greatness of this almost 7 years ago, and GM Lu shared the above article in March 1988.

Do you still believe those that alleged that Lotuschef bluff and lied about Cultivation techniques?

Cheers all.

You Don't Understand My Words, So I Am Crazy! 你听不懂我的话，那我是疯子！

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kamu Tak Paham Maksudku, Lantas Aku Gila!

Hahaha! Look at Lotuschef closely, is she Crazy?

October 2009, Seattle temple:

XR fashi said to me, I am going to help every body buy 菜包 (vegetarian bun) to offer to ancestors. You want to buy a share for your ancestors?

I replied: No. Thank you. I will do other offering. Anyway, Everyone's ancestors also mine!

Hehe! He glared at me, and utter words that I am mad!

~~~~~~~~

2010, Singapore:

I started to lead cultivation in local chapters, mainly the English version of 4 Preliminaries Practice.

I explained the 4 Immeasurable Visualisation and how to merge all beings and self as ONE!
Then, One has no more karmic foes, parents, friends, ...... type of Differentiation any more.

A fashi said I am wrong and crazy!
He told fellow students that our Karmic foes infinite. One lot left then another lot appear!
Can't finish saying sorry or dedication to One's karmic foes!

~~~~~~~~

On Facebook:

I read this post that some fellow students believe another to be very "powerful" and pay large sums of money for him to do his prescribed rituals 108 times or more!
This to clear away one's Karmic foes or the current "attack" of Bad Luck!

My words:

One needs to say sorry sincerely on one's own efforts and not pay someone else to do so.

Also when we do dedication, we do to All Sentient Beings and not to ourselves or our karmic foes or some one we choose!

~~~~~~~~

Hahaha! Through all these years, many labelled me as Crazy; sprouting nonsense; misleading; instigating chaos in Sangha assembly; joining GM Lu's defamatory groups; defy high authority; .........

NOW!
If you have really listen well to GM Lu's teachings or dharma speeches or read his writings,
If you understand about 50% of what GM Lu's is sharing,
YOU would have developed the crucial wisdom to know whether Lotuschef is truly crazy or not, agree?

无我 Selflessness! Is the major key to Buddhahood!

2015-05-31《蓮生法王開示》學習無我捨身法:

如果你出家了，你的心還在顛倒妄想，你的心就會產生恐懼。

因為顛倒妄想不是得就是失啊！對不對？

只要你顛倒妄想就有得失啊！

你迷錢，你還拿著彩券讓師尊加持，光頭裡面還有拿著彩券讓師尊加持，不是得就是失啊！

真佛宗弟子也是蠻厲害的，真的，美國的大樂透，蓮花梭麥就拿了大樂透的第一特獎，大家知道的。

他不敢來西雅圖雷藏寺，也不敢來彩虹山莊，因為幾個上師都知道他，所以建廟需要錢的上師，全部都追著他，追到他不敢來。

台灣那一個比較聰明，台灣有一個得到三十億的，聽說是四個人得到，他是其中一個，也是真佛宗的弟子得到三十億台幣。

大家一聽到，連光頭都拿著彩券讓師尊加持，他希望他也能夠得到，光了頭啊！一根毛都沒有。

我告訴你喔！一毛都沒有啦！還想得失啊！不要去想了啦！

~~~~~~~~

WHEN you still have this and that;

WHEN you still think that you need this and that;

WHEN [YOU] override all others;

YOU will never ever understand Selflessness and can't find the path to Buddhahood!

Hahaha!

Crazy again? Me?

Who cares what you think!!!

Cheers all.

Request for Dharma Externally & Internally 心外求法、心內求法

Terjemahan Indonesia: Memohon Dharma Dari Luar & Dari Dalam
Reference to GM's article: 蓮生活佛開示 ＞ 虹光大成就 - 心外求法、心內求法

Brief Summary Translation by Lotuschef

Extract:

那個「飛碟會」，他說他是「真道教」。他為什麼是心外求法呢？他聚集一些人，祈求外面的這個神降臨，在電視上顯現出來他要救眾生的消息，上帝先在電視上顯現出來。

那麼三月三十一號，上帝親自下降，來救所有在他那邊的人，把他們帶到天堂。三月三十一號以後，會沒有太陽，整個能源都消失掉。他的這個預言，他講的是這樣子的。

為什麼這樣子是屬於心外求法呢？

你很簡單可以看出來，他並不是往裡面去求、往自己的內心去求。 

GM explained that this religious group, Zhen Dao Jiao, has this Flying Saucer Event.

They are seeking or requesting their God, Heavenly Father, to appear first on TV, the on 31 March, to descent and succour or save those with his group to Heaven. 

And after 31 March, there will be No Sun, all energy will also disappear.

His Prediction is thus.

Why this way is Seeking Dharma Externally?

Very simple to see, He didn't seek internally but externally.

佛陀的教法是這樣子的，釋迦牟尼佛教的，祂教你慈悲喜捨，是你的內心裡面，發出四無量心，積德修福，「德」跟「福」是在一起的。你有「德」，就能有「福」。你要往生天，你就是要積德。 

要有慈悲喜捨的心，向裡面求。你自己發出四無量心，你就有天堂的福份，這個是向你心裡面求。

再說，你自己向裡面求你的心能夠定，一心不動，就能夠往生。向你的內心裡面，顯化光明出來，你就能夠進入佛的境界裡面。

身清淨、意念清淨、口清淨，就把三業能夠轉成三密。如來的三密你得到了，你自己顯化光明，進入宇宙的大光明裡面，你才能夠即身成就。

這個就是佛祂講的，往自己的內心求，你的心清淨，心顯光明，你才能夠有光明。

不是去祈求神從虛空中掉下來，然後帶著你們往上面走，不是的！

In the case of Buddhism, Boddhicitta's components of 4 Immeasurable of 慈悲喜捨 - Compassion, Sympathy, Joy, Share without regret or holding back; was taught and All from your innermost heart, radiating outwards.

Accumulating Good Merits and with these you can be born in Heaven upon your demise.

Moreover, when you can request that your heart is stable, immovable, and then can exhibit Brightness or Bright Light, you can enter Buddha's realm or Pureland.

Purifying Body Speech Mind is transformation of the 3 Karmic Components to 3 Secrets of Buddhas, and you can exhibit Brightness, entering the Universal's Great brightness, your body can reach attainment.

This is what Buddha said about seeking within one's heart, when One's heart is pure, then One's heart can exhibit or radiate Bright light, then One can become Bright Light.

It is not to request or seek Deity or God to descent from the Universal void, then bring you all Upwards, not like this!

---

Dear all,

I have picked out the specifics to translate only.

The rest of GM's article is just as educational, please get it translated on your own, as a form of your diligent efforts in cultivation. :)

What are Main Keys here?

Boddhicitta; Self Effort; Seek Within - or rely on Self; Purifying Body Speech Mind, .....

Cheers all.
