.....

我當然也學會靜慮九支。毘盧七支坐大家會嗎？

當然會啦！

五個東西朝天（五心朝天），第一個是頭頂朝天，兩隻手持彌陀定印，這是兩隻手朝天，或持於兩個膝蓋上，兩隻腳相盤，腳心朝天，叫做跏趺坐，這就是五個朝天，兩個腳心朝天，兩隻手朝天，頭上頂著天。脊椎骨要打直，眼睛要45度看前面的地上。

另外，壓喉結，舌頭抵上顎，你的兩個眼睛憶想到眉心，精神憶想眉心，然後還要提肛。這就是靜慮開始的方法。

◎瑤池金母有講，跟大家教一點「瑜伽」。

「瑜伽」是甚麼東西？就是相應。

你要跟你的本尊相應，這是非常的重要。所謂相應，我們用平時世俗的話講就是天人合一，人跟天能夠合一，就叫做相應，就是「瑜伽」。

有人問：「世界上到底甚麼是最偉大的？」釋迦牟尼佛曾經講：「與道合者大。」你跟道能夠合一了，你就最大，那種大，不是有侷限的大，是無限的大；只要你能夠與道合一了，你的功力，你的法力就是無限大。密教講相應，就是瑜伽。我今天講的跟我平時講的可能稍微有點不同。

◎瑜伽最重要的就是沒有自我，沒有我。第一個，你先吸進一口氣，想念一句話：「吸氣的人不是我。」其實，這就是「無我」；吐氣的時候要想念一句話：「這念頭也不是我。」第一個念頭，吸氣進來的時候，你要想：「吸氣的人不是我。」就是「無我」；「吐氣的人也不是我」，吐氣的這種想念，那就是「無念」。吸進來「無我」，吐出的氣是「無念」，這是修行靜慮第一重要的一件事。你要「無我」跟「無念」才能夠跟你的本尊相應。

◎第二個瑜伽，當你吸氣進來的時候，你觀想你的心輪打開，觀想有個「阿」字，呼氣的時候，就觀想「阿」，唸「阿」，或者你用默唸的，「阿」，沒有聲音的，振動你的全身，將這個「阿」，從鼻孔呼出去，當然是梵字，「阿」的梵字要呼出去。咒語裡面的「嗡」就是宇宙（至上），「阿」就是（你的）本尊，「吽」就是所有一切眾生。你要呼吸這個「阿」七次出去，放到虛空之中，放到虛空做甚麼？就是你自己呼喚你自己的本尊，跟你合在一起，所以要呼七次的「阿」。

◎最後一個瑜伽是這樣的，你完全不做甚麼，調好你自己心平氣和，毘盧七支坐，靜慮九支，稍微仰一下頭，專注在你的眉心之上一點的地方，這就是專一瑜伽。這一點也很重要。當你學會這三樣就是瑜伽。

然後，再教你「九節佛風」，我們都會的，再來是「金剛誦」，最後是寶瓶氣。你這樣修，到了第一項，你已經無我了，也沒有念頭了，所有宇宙的法流、至上的意識，你的本尊就會進到你的身體裡面來；當你沒有雜念的時候，意念清淨，當你的口唸著本尊咒語的時候，就是口業清淨，當你結著手印的時候，就是身清淨，身口意清淨，當你達到完全清淨的時候，你就「無我」跟「無念」，也就能夠跟你的本尊相應。這是瑤池金母今天要教大家的瑜伽。

◎《真佛經》裡面有幾句話：「以無念為正覺佛寶。」為什麼「無念」？「無念」的時候你就「無我」了，既然沒有念頭，還有我嗎？沒有我，沒有眾生，沒有山河大地，沒有一切的時候，就是你跟本尊相應天人合一、跟宇宙至上合一的時候。

◎這是真正的修行方法。所以我曾經跟大家講，你們要修行，要找一個安靜的地方，出家人每天可以修四座法，一次二十分鐘就可以，你漸漸地跟你的本尊相應。修行是這樣，如果你是在家人有俗務的，有些出家人也是有俗務，你可以每天修兩壇法，實在不行，你要對得起自己，你每天至少要修一壇法。沒有俗務專修出世的四壇，有入世、出世的兩壇；真的對得起自己，一壇。你如果沒有修靜慮法，算是甚麼修行？那是修錢。

CHAT: 
PP: O! GM said its important to yoga
but how many times he said the same, but how many truly listen

AA: yes hor
still the initial point is the same

PP: this time the simple breathing technique to drop self....then the [AH] syllable. sounds real simple hor? hehe!

AA: need to wait for the translation
no english cast at that time

PP: O!
: first step of yoga is to breathe in with the mindset that this is not me breathing in. then same as breathing out.

AA: oh, so yes, dropping self 🙏

PP: Start with the lotus pose with both soles n palms facing up + the head is 5 sides facing up. eyes looking forward at a 45degree angle. press on throat joint by pressing down forehead. tongue touching roof of mouth. Eyes focus in the middle of brows and a spot a little above it. lift the bladder door. This is first step in purification. 1st step of yoga- the breathing to drop self. then visualise breathing in and the heart chakra opens and the [AH] syllable is in heart chakra.

: I am listening again to transcribe for you. Hehe!
: then chant the AH loudly or silently to vibrate whole body then breathe the AH out form nose.
: GM said: inside mantra - the Om is universe, Ah is yidam & Hom is sentient beings.

AA: xie2 nin de ai 🌷
yes, i've got this one, the language is quite familiar

PP: breathe out the Ah 7x placing it into the universal void, to call out or invoke your yidam to merge with you as ONE!
lastly don't do anything, just adjust heart n qi harmoniously.

then focus with both eyes on the spot a little above brows center. 

this is focus on one yoga.
master these 3 steps then is yoga. next 9 cycle breathing n then vajra chant
lastly the precious vase qi.

AA: 🙏

PP: when complete step 1- already without self.
then all universal dharma energy flow & yidam will enter your body.
: when you no longer have jumbled or unwholesome thoughts, you mind is pure, when you chanting yidam's mantra, your speech is pure, forming mudra body is pure. attaining this, you are selfless & without thought, and completely pure then can yoga with yidam
GM said this is what jin-mu wants to teach all regarding Yoga.

AA: 🙏 🙏 🙏

PP: then GM refer to the TB sutra pointing out the one on purity. thoughtlessness is the bodhi gem,....
the thoughtlessness n selfless is not so easy to achieve at all

AA: indeed

PP: when thoughtless then also selfless, no self no sentient beings no earth river mountain, you yoga with your yidam n the universe's topmost mindset

AA: 🙏

PP: GM is talking about daily cultivation and the importance of practicing the Purification methods. else not considered as cultivation

actually the method I shared during homa, to purify self with fire also another good method to purify. Point is FOCUS!

AA: yes

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

Hahaha! 

I found the Chinese transcript of GM Lu's speech after I did it slowly by listening the speech again!

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.

Xing Tian Gong's Spiritual Response / written by GM Lu
蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第245冊《古里古怪集》
From GM's Book 245 <Funny and unique compilation>

有一次。
與師母、陳嘉萍、盧輝[鳳皇]等，到台北一家餐廳，吃午餐。
路經「行天宮」恩主公廟，隨緣進入參拜一下。一入廟，看見香火鼎盛，香客如雲。
大殿內有法會，僧尼誦經。
大殿外有許多穿著藍袍的居士，手上持香，給香客收驚、收煞，人潮洶湧，供品一桌又一桌。
The story unfolds when GM was in Taipei one day and on his way to a restaurant for lunch.

This temple named Xing Tian Gong or Moving Sky Palace is on the way and GM decided to enter to pay respect. Upon entering, GM noticed that there is abundance of burn incense and offerer of incense are like clouds movements.

In the great hall, monks and nuns are chanting sutras.

Outside the great hall, there are followers in blue robes holding lighted incense performing services of helping visitors to collect and dispel fear, bad omen; human traffic is rapid and swift, offerings filled table after tables.

我說：I said:
「我想進入大殿參拜關聖帝君。」

I would like to enter the great hall to pay respect to Guan Sheng Di Jun - Emperor Guan or Saintly Emperor Guan. 

但，我看到一塊招牌，上書：

However, I saw a tablet with these written:
「香客止步」。

Incense clients halt step.

我手持香，在大殿外，遙向關聖帝君參拜，口中祝曰：

「聖帝千秋萬歲，香火不斷，度生如天。」
說完由偏門走了出來。
I held the lighted incense outside the great hall and pay my respect from afar to Saintly Emperor Guan, mouthing greetings:

Saintly emperor thousands autumns ten thousands years old, incense fire non stop, passes living or life like Sky/Heaven.

After saying these, I walked out from the side doors.

沒有想到——
關聖帝君從後趕至追我。

Unfathomably, Saintly Emperor Guan came chasing from behind.

帝君手持「青龍刀」把我的後腳跟，劃了一下，我後腳立刻像扭到一樣，走起路一跛又一跛的。
帝君說：
「止、止、止。」
He was holding [green dragon sabre] which he used to scratch behind my leg, and my leg instantly starts to move as if twisted, limping.

我轉頭問：
「帝君何事找我，又如何劃我一腳？」

I turned around and asked:

Emperor looks for me for what matter, and why scratch my leg?

帝君說：
「見你來朝，頂透三光，若不來見，禮尚有失。」

Emperor said:

Seeing you visit temple, crown revealing 3 lights, if do not come and meet you, shows lack of manners.

我說：
「何劃我一刀？」

I said: Why scratch me once with sabre?

帝君答：
「吾是想告訴你，行止宜當心，勿落怨敵口誅筆伐。」
Emperor said:

I am telling you to be cautious in your movements, not to fall into enemies with grievances' speech and written attacks.

我說：
「多謝示警！」

I said: Thank you for the warning!

帝君與我拜別。
我到餐館，兩隻腳才能正常走路。

We parted ways and when I reached the restaurant, both my legs able to walk normally.

後來——
我聽說，行天宮，廢去用香拜拜，只用手合掌，供品也不用了。(太多香，影響環保；供品，聖賢亦不食)

Later, I heard that this temple abolished the use of incense to pray, only using hands and palms together, Offering also don't need already.

(Too much incense, affects environmental protection; Offerings. Saints won't eat.)

人問我：
「這樣行嗎？」

People asked me: Will this do?

我如此回答：
依傳統來說：
香是信香，有傳達之意。
供品是禮，有虔敬之意。

I answered like these:

As per traditions: 

Incense is Belief"s Fragrance, have communicating meaning.

Offering is mannerism, have sincere and respectful meaning.

一般人行之久矣！突然間改變，人們會沒有辦法去適應。
然而，習慣也會成自然！

Most people practice too long only! Sudden changes, many hard to get accustomed.

However, Habits can become natural or nature!

又，我們密教修供養法：
火供——護摩供品甚多，以火燒供品及香。
水供——供品亦多。
煙供——解怨親債主之怨心。

Moreover, in Tantrayana we have many Offering Practices:

Fire offering - Homa's offering much, using fire to burn offering and incense.

Water offering - offering not much

Smoke offering - to dissolve Karmic foes' grievances.

(儀軌繁多，有香有供) Sadhanas are many and have incense and offering.

以人間之禮儀敬佛、菩薩、金剛、護法、空行、諸天。祈禱本尊降臨。

As per Sentient realm's mannerism of paying respect to Buddhas, Boddhisattvas, Vajras, Dharmapalas, Dakinis, all Heavenly beings. Invoking Yidam to descend.

但，到了至高境界也能：

However, at the summit stage or level, can also:

以天為壇城。(無佛像)

With Sky or heaven as Mandala. (No Buddha Statue0

以心香召請。(無信香)

With Heart's Incense to invoke. (No belief's fragrance or incense)

以心供最上。(無實物供)
With Heart offering utmost. (no need for actual material offering)

我且問：
「以至高的境界，是不是一般的凡夫俗子，能意會得？」

I then asked:

Already attained the highest level, is it any common mortals can perceive or arrived at?

詩：Poem:
無無無又無 None None None and None
空空空又空 Void Void Void and Void
證得平等性 Affirmed Nature of Equality
有無都是風 Have or None, all is Wind

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

There are simple and basic fundamental keys and also keys to great secrets of Maha Perfection here.

Go find them. :)

Cheers all.

Lotuschef in Chat – SZ on Extermination of Heart & Planes

Terjemahan Indonesia: Lotuschef Bercakap-cakap – Guru membahas mengenai Melenyapkan Hati dan Kesadaran

Reference Article: Lotuschef in Chat - Support in Cultivation? :)

Extract:

[--- Let me share an important Tip with you all:

If you have Question/Questions to Ask of anyone, then you still have a Long Long Way to Go, to be able to truly listen & comprehend to what Guru has been teaching you & is still teaching you!

For Yana 1, if you think to suppress anyone and force them to follow your ways in Cultivation or other matters, you created suffering to others, which failed you in crossing Yana 1!

Now, Who Supports Who? Hahaha! ---]

From Facebook:

Thomas Chung I certainly have a lot of questions hehe. That's why I rely on your blog posts explaining what SZ is indirectly saying in his dharma talks.

Francesca Poon Hahaha! But you don't have the mindset of finding faults with me & digging to show that I am a Fool!

Thomas Chung i'm the biggest fool of them all

Francesca Poon Well its all in SZ's speech of 7 Dec 2013. Which I just caught up with this afternoon! The Key-pointers to Maha Perfection Practices! The Fool is the one that is all out to Identify Someone else as A Fool! If you see Fools then You are a Fool! If you see nothing, then you are not a Fool!

Thomas Chung I've been starting to watch youtube videos of SZ's dharma talks that he gave between the late 1980's and late 1990's. I can understand them slightly better. The dharma talks about Great Perfection and Platform Sutra are just way to difficult for me to comprehend.

Francesca Poon An Open Mind! & also a Sincerity to help Self as well as Others, is all that is required to cultivate well. Simple things that most ignored. Most Chased Forms of POWER as well as wealth & fame, thinking these are "their rewards" for "following the motion of SZ in Cultivation"! Hahaha! Sad if you listen to SZ's speeches of 30 Nov & 7 Dec of 2013! Remember I wrote : tantrayana is simplicity? Hahaha!

Francesca Poon I also wrote Layperson Measures Buddha! Therefore instead of measuring Buddha, they should actually "Measure" themselves against the Guidelines that SZ shares, especially in Maha Perfection!

Francesca Poon Congratulation to you! Putting efforts in watching the recorded videos of SZ's dharma sharing is a step forward in Sincerity to learn basics or fundamentals!

Cheers all.

The Demon’s Secret

From wtbnnews.org – 妖魔」的密密密 by Living Buddha Lian-sheng
Translated to Bahasa Indonesia by Padmakumara Forum: Rahasia Iblis
Translated to English from Bahasa Indonesia by Lotus Nino – May 17, 2013
Revised by Lama Lotuschef

I went to the “Black Jungle” in the netherworld and sojourned in a ghost family’s dwelling.
This ghost family is continually disturbed by the demons.

I asked the Netherworld Official:
“This family is from the ghost group as well, wherefore the disturbance?” I wondered.

The Netherworld Official replied:
“In this world, there is a group of humans, whose heart and thoughts are adulterated, however they haven’t conducted massive evil deeds. They, after their demise, shall fall into the ‘Black Jungle’ Hell, and be disturbed by the demons consequently.”

I wondered:
“Only by having adulterated thoughts, they got disturbed. This is very bizarre!”

The official said:
“When the heart and mind are devious, the demons will come to possess. That is always the case.”

I inquired further:
“Where do the demons come from? The hell?”

The official said:
“The demons come from one’s own heart. It is one’s own heart that invites the demons from the Black Jungle to come.”

That very night, I tarried in the Black Jungle.
The demons didn’t show up that night.
The host was very curious as the demons always show up every night to disturb. Now that a guest sojourned in the house, the demon didn’t appear.

They asked the Netherworld Official:
“Why don’t the demons show up when there is a guest sojourning in?”

The official replied:
“That guest isn’t an ordinary visitant. Demons won’t dare to come near!

The ghost asked:
“What guest then?”

“The Netherworld Denizens and Yin Realm Overseer Elite Emissary Most Secret Tathagata.”

The ghost was flabbergasted:
“The tathagata stayed in my home?”

When I sojourned in his house, the demons didn’t dare to come.
By the time I left, the demons came again.

Finally, the ghost implored me to write a word to be affixed in his house.
I thought for a moment.
So I wrote “Seeing This Talisman Is Tantamount to Seeing the Real Person”.
Hereby signing: “The Netherworld Denizens and Yin Realm Overseer Elite Emissary Most Secret Tathagata.”

Immediately no demon dares to disturb again.

All ghost families in the Black Jungle heard about this event, therefore came and beseeched me to write talismans for them.

I wrote one by one for them.

The Netherworld Official said:
“All demons, all maras appear as a result of humans having deviating heart. It is opening the way for them to possess and disturb. Suppose a person behaves virtuously, is upright, pure and radiant, the divinities would surely protect one, that no evil demon dares to come and disturb. This is called ‘The heretics cannot beat the righteous ones’, thus when they see the talismans from Grandmaster Lu here, all flee consequently.”

I conducted a session of Dharma Ceremony in the Black Jungle.

I taught the ghosts the sadhana of Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing:

1. The Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing is the foundation of Tantrayana practice which possesses a very significant meaning.
2. Focusing the thoughts on the breathing, left nostril, right nostril, both nostrils, the breathing in nine steps.
3. Inhaling the white good karma, exhaling the black bad karma.
4. After going through the nine levels/steps of Exchange, it shall result in the practitioner focusing on Tu Na [Tu: exhale; Na: inhale] and halting evil and mean/unwholesome thoughts/mindset.
5. All Vital Energy are completely focused as One.
6. In reality, With One thought one fragments all unwholesome/undesirable ones.
7. Therefore enabling one to achieve/enter into serene/quiet meditation.
8. Thus establishing the root foundation of Zen Meditation.

I taught all ghosts in the Black Jungle to practise the Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing. By practising the sadhana for only half a year to a full year, all deviating and evil thoughts have disappeared completely, thus the ghosts no longer fear the demons of the Black Jungle.

Apparently it is said that:
The ghosts had been able to escape the hell. Long live. Long live.
