精进实修？Diligent Cultivation?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Bersadhana Dengan Tekun?

In HIS most recent speech on 10 July 2016 - Seattle Time, GM Lu shared many important and crucial Keys!

Cultivation of Tantrayana in Tibet starts from a Basic 12-years of Mahayana study and practice, then the cultivator can proceed to test himself for suitability to cultivate Tantric Dharma or Vajrayana.

Hahaha!

Now, Ask yourself - 
How much diligent efforts have you put into the learning of Mahayana?
How much of what you have learned can you put into daily practice?

On 7 November 2009, GM Lu said that Boddhicitta is the Key to Buddhahood!
And that is the Mahayana's view of "For others' benefits"!

Without Boddhicitta, no attainment of Buddhahood!

Hahaha!

Now, do you realise why I have been Talking and Stressing the Importance of Boddhicitta and Diligent Cultivation?

O! As per GM Lu - The fellow student, the Ambassador, can see blue-light in Samadhi after 10 months of diligent cultivation!

Do you remember that GM Lu also shared that there are those with great potential & affinity and will reach attainment faster that those without?

Yes! There are exceptions!

BUT! Don't delude yourself that you are one with Great Potential and Affinity and can yoga with Root Guru even before Refuge Taking!

If you are a regular reader of this blogspot, you will find many that alluded to special powers or abilities but mostly Not True! :)

Now, will you heed my advice and Start diligently from Basics?

Start from 1st step or stage of Yoga - Focus on One!

Yes! Diligent practice of the Four Preliminaries Practice!

GM Lu also said that HE has lots more that HE has yet to impart at the same session too!
As I said, don't let anyone chase away or overthrow GM Lu!
The Loss is Infinitely Immeasurable!

BUT, without the Basics, you will never be able to grasp all these "GOODIES"!

To most of you, TIME is the gauging factor of One's attainment!

NOT TRUE too! :)

Do not be deceived by those seniors who claimed that they are the pioneer students of GM Lu, or they have been with GM Lu for 20-40 years too!

THEY too, sadly have yet to Master the Basics and of course, still have yet to advance to Guru Yoga too. :)

Don't learn from them, Learn only from GM Lu or as GM Lu said, those that have learned and attained.
Only these people can teach you or advise you on how to cultivate from the very beginning.

No short cut!

Now realised why I said: Listen only to your own Root Guru, and no one else!

You need to start by Focusing on learning Buddha Dharma and then use them effectively for the benefit of all beings.
With Boddhicitta, you can advance swiftly through the "ranks" in Vajrayana!

Wake up and move away from those that can't even pass the First step or stage in the Nine Yanas!

忠言逆耳－烟供 Ears Repel Truthful Words – Smoke Offering

Terjemahan Indonesia: Telinga Menolak Mendengar Kebenaran – Puja Asap

CHAT:

18/09/2014, 10:12 - Lotuschef Lama: We must remember always that cultivation is for all n not for self to clear bad karma or become rich.

18/09/2014, 10:13 - B: TaTS what I told them last nite in charbroil. But they still wan to go ahead with the smoke offering

Like answer to Assignment 3 part 2. Hehe. Simple but most never bother to apply what shizun n I shared.

18/09/2014, 10:19 - B: But your mindset must be clear
Its not for our own benefits
Its to help all sentient beings

18/09/2014, 10:19 - Lotuschef Lama: Simple things are very important though. Especially in Buddha's teachings

18/09/2014, 10:24 - Lotuschef Lama: I will be back in SG around Christmas.

18/09/2014, 10:26 - B: Ok

19/09/2014, 20:07 - B: Hi Fashi

19/09/2014, 20:07 - B: If u going to R house on Sep 27, my family can fetch u

19/09/2014, 20:11 - Lotuschef Lama: I don't think can go. The place is a greater mess today n going to be worse as they lay tiles n cut them. Dust will fly all over. My neighbor's is good example. Then the other flats they started to do or going to do next week onwards will continue to be a pollution problem. I can't breathe easy too. Imagine wearing a face mask to sleep?

19/09/2014, 20:11 - B: Hahaha....understand

19/09/2014, 20:13 - Lotuschef Lama: Right now just clean up my room n cover the toilet gap. Bath n planning to rest. Like last nite, I so tired after the cleaning, I sleep without dinner!
Lucky only 10 days inside house. N 5 days outside. Else I don't know when I can breathe easy again.

19/09/2014, 20:17 - B: Hahaha....the group wan to change back to cultivate Bai zi Ming zhou tomorrow

19/09/2014, 20:17 - Lotuschef Lama: Anyway, still depends on personal choice to listen or not.

19/09/2014, 20:17 - B: Except S
I told them I won't join smoke offering cultivation in future. I only go if it is bai zi Ming zhou

19/09/2014, 20:18 - Lotuschef Lama: I woke at 3 am. So write something or read researched materials

19/09/2014, 20:18 - B: Then suddenly received watsapp saying they wan change back to bai zi Ming zhou
But S still prefer we go ahead with smoke offering tomorrow

19/09/2014, 20:20 - Lotuschef Lama: LK emailed me this morning thanking me for the email advising you all on cultivation n feng shui

19/09/2014, 20:20 - B: She very kind de

19/09/2014, 20:22 - Lotuschef Lama: S probably wants to learn Smoke offering.

19/09/2014, 20:23 - B: Maybe

19/09/2014, 20:23 - Lotuschef Lama: Hai! Can do one well, then go learn another. Big problem!
That's why he lost total trust in GM n think he needs to do something else as bai zi ming not good enough!

19/09/2014, 20:28 - Lotuschef Lama: Never mind what others think. I advise them is for their good. Choice us their's to accept or scold me :) :) :)

19/09/2014, 20:28 - B: :) That's what I think too

19/09/2014, 20:28 - Lotuschef Lama: When desperate even more easy to make big mistakes

19/09/2014, 20:28 - B: True

19/09/2014, 20:29 - Lotuschef Lama: Many scold me but I am still fine. 

 Why? My intent is to help n not to harm.

19/09/2014, 20:30 - B: :)

19/09/2014, 20:30 - Lotuschef Lama: W is good example to follow. 

Concentrate on One

19/09/2014, 20:30 - B: Ya

19/09/2014, 20:34 - B: R oso trying to help us but maybe wrong way loh. He's not totally at fault.

19/09/2014, 20:35 - Lotuschef Lama: He got too much he thinks need to do n have.

19/09/2014, 20:35 - B: He really 用心 (use heart - put in efforts) in guiding us the smoke offering

19/09/2014, 20:36 - Lotuschef Lama: That's not the point. In suggesting smoke offering as alternative, shows he is unsure bai zi ming can help him n H clear karmic foes.

19/09/2014, 20:37 - B: I c
At least now they oso propose change back to b z m z

19/09/2014, 20:37 - Lotuschef Lama: That's why I always explain but no one seems to remember n apply. Hahaha!

19/09/2014, 20:43 - Lotuschef Lama: But Affinity must be matured for GM or me to help.

19/09/2014, 20:43 - B: I really 深深体会 ( deeply experienced) this affinity after this incident
Those with heavy karmic foes 是听不进去的 (is can't listen and understand)

19/09/2014, 20:44 - Lotuschef Lama: 三不能度:没缘; 不信; 业障深。
(3 groups that can't succour : No Affinity; Do not believe; Heavy karmic negatives or sins)

19/09/2014, 20:45 - B: True
I'm so thankful that I have 缘 (Affinity)

19/09/2014, 20:45 - Lotuschef Lama: 这是佛说的。(This is Buddha's words)

19/09/2014, 20:45 - B: Haha

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

In recent speech, GM Lu cautioned students on [Smoke Offering Practice].

Also those that go do this practice in cemeteries!

GM Lu said if do at home, do before the altar or outside the window!
WHY?

Hahaha!

HE said: ghosts are easy to invite but hard to send away! 

Students and non-students that cultivated with me for some time, I know whether they are suitable or not for cultivating certain practice.

I even spent time to personally teach some that show sincerity and diligence!

The Assignment on Smoke Offering Practice is ample proof that not one of these attendees, be they local or foreign, has grasped the importance of the Meaning of Cultivation!

That is No Required Basics or Fundamentals!

Seems that [Staying power] is just not present when these students think to try out alternatives to 4 preliminaries practice, which is the starter and also the ultimate practice to attainment of Buddhahood! 

Well?

My words are not good, Then Please listen to GM Lu, a Living Buddha!

AND, when you can achieve Guru & Vajrasattva Yoga, YOU won't need to worry about practicing any practice, for any practice will be "A piece of Cake", that is you can do it effectively or successfully!

With Guru Yoga & Vajrasattva Yoga, YOU can also yoga with any yidam of choice! 

When your heart calls, they will "report" their presence instantly! :)

O! You don't have to believe me at all! 

Just Listen well to GM Lu! 

Cheers all.

15-12-2010 Dharma talk 7 November 2009 in Seattle/2009年11月7日于西雅图开示

Extract:
I wish to add that we have to truly bear in mind, GM's teachings. 

GM teaches us to cultivate vajrasattva & padmakumara yoga well. 

Actually these two practices are truly amazing. 

I recently realized that they contains many variations. 

I have also told GM about these variations.

When chanting GM's mantra, I found myself in the centre of the Earth. 

As I chant, the power of the mantra pushes all the negatives outwards. 

As these leave the Earth's surface, countless GM covered the Earth's surface.

If we compare with the Thousand multiplier Wheel mantra, these one multiplies by the number of sentient beings on Earth. Isn't this more powerful than the Thousand multiplier?

But what I realized recently is that this evolved from 4 immeasurable visualisation.We treat all sentient being as self. During cultivation we transform them into self. Then when we merge with say GM, they all became GM too. All these from 4 immeasurable vows.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Chat: 
AA: GM today do amitabha n we do 2moro on EXACT DAY
hehe! They have changed lots because of my "Caustic" comments!
stupid to do yidams that can draw crowds only!
the neglected ones are the most important ones
3:19 PM

BB: yeah yidam euphoria
3:23 PM

AA: can't master ONE, but go encourage all students to go chase Powerful or Wealthy Yidams
3:24 PM

AND they have started to welcome Ksiti rinpoche too :)
3:55 PM

Today in GM's speech - a very important message!

Just need to concentrate on any one of the basic steps like great prostration also can liao! :)
I have been saying the same too! But people like to do the difficult n chase wrong path!

CC: lovely sermon today
~~~~~~~~~~
In my maiden dharma speech, I shared the importance of the 4 Immeasurable Visualisation that can be transformed or varied to include all beings and all merging as one into the Universe.

Yes! Just one part of the Basic 7 steps before yidam yoga.

What else did GM Lu shared today?

Another important key is doing something to Benefit others! 

Well? 

Lotuschef only know 4 Preliminaries Practice, very lousy?

Hahaha!

I have stated many times too that if you pick one of the first 7 steps in the Sadhana, you can also reach attainment.

Now, GM Lu said the same today. 

Still want to allege that I am lying or bluffing you?

Isn't Maha Perfection Dharma great?

The Truth is that I am not lying but you just didn't understand GM Lu's teachings well enough only!

Your fault really! 

Maybe walking into Pure Karma and sincerely learn how to purify self will help you! 

Note that You are not supporting Pure Karma or Lotuschef by learning how to purify yourself! 

You are learning how to save yourself only!

Pure Karma & Lotuschef do not owe you anything and thus have no obligation to teach those that are not sincere! 

Cheers all

执迷不悟 Fixated & Can't Realised

Terjemahan Bahasa: Terpaku & Tak Mampu Menyadari 执迷不悟

The above conversation is between a fellow student and me.

When I suggested that we cultivate Basic Dharma Practice like the 4 Preliminaries Practice instead of Homa session, she also reacted very negatively as in the same chat above.

Hahaha!

I tried to explain more indepth but she just don't seem to understand.

Well?

If you pay attention to what GM Lu said yesterday, 19 December 2015, at Caotun Temple, you would have surely picked up that All Must Start from the Basic and gradually fine tune to Maha Perfection or Attainment of Buddhahood.

GM Lu was talking about how to cultivate and "Light Up" then onwards to "Rainbow Body Attainment"!

I got to know that this fellow student paid large sum to get a VM to do homa for her group!

Pure Karma only requires the attendees to pay for the lotus offering individually and all other expenses sponsored by Pure Karma!

Ah! Pure Karma should stop doing this unprofitable events?

Well?

When GM Lu instructs, all the necessary resources will naturally materialised!

We not only have enough funds to run the event smoothly, but have extras to donate to charity in GM Lu's name too! :)

I am sharing Facts which are secrets too!

Most do not like it when I insisted on sharing Basic Cultivation Techniques and the 4 Preliminaries Practice!

Well, Am I wrong?


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.

融入大自然 Merging into Mother Nature

Terjemahan Indonesia: Melebur dengan Ibu Pertiwi

I remember sharing techniques of Merging into Water, about 2 years ago in a resort at Lake Toba.

What are the main points or key factors to cultivate Merging into water or any part of Mother Nature?

For Water:

1. Need to feel the water against One's skin surfaces
2. Immerse self into water while holding one's breath.
3. Empty thoughts & Meditate

GM wrote about Merging into Lakes and Mountains too.
Also merging with the Sun & Moon, which I had also share some pointers. :)

Go do some research of GM's methods please.

If you have Affinity with Me, I might share some of the key factors with you too!

However, A Good & Sound Foundation of 4 preliminaries and Guru Yoga is required!

The point to learn is Be Natural, a crucial Key to Maha Mudra and Maha Perfection!


Cheers all.
