Lotuschef in Chat – Can we help this kid?

[--- Fashi dear,

This evening when I was at my client's premise, my friend told me that an old friend from the undergrad sends his kid to learn piano therein.
However the kid is suffering from autism and is unable to talk.
All he can do is just uttering sound, and a bit weird since he's 5 years old already.

The kid is clever but too hyperactive. I noticed that in 1 hour of piano tutoring session, he could only sit for 15 minutes (not really), and the rest he was running around and sat looking at the lamp and fan.

Saliva kept on flowing from his mouth and the teacher had to keep on wiping it.

There was a psychologist present as well to observe and give help.

The mom is from the Maitreya School, just like my friend whom we helped last time. She said she recites sutra everyday.
I told her to recite Gao Wang 1000x and will send her the sutra soon. She agrees to recite and dedicate the merits for her kid.

Below is the photo of the kid, in case we can lend some help:
Name: MF
Address:
Not sure if the family can meet GM at TW later. ---]


[--- PKV: Hi dear, sorry for late reply!
As you know, I have to move out to avoid hostilities.
Today managed to post the photos from helen, raymond & yin yen

hahaha!
must do my homework lol

this kid is abnormal
Best advise them to write to SZ with his photo n bio data.

Yes. chanting Gao wang in dedication to all sentient beings on his behalf might help a little
The saliva dripping is hungry ghost or greedy ghosts

I can't do anything for him as his karmic is in the way

Karma in a child also have to see that of his parents, they are normally involved in collective negative in the past against the spirits that controls the kid now!

:) dont make any promise that the kid will be well!
Only SZ can help, we? not yet!

O! the statue of ksitigarbha that AA gave n BB brought over to SG this round, got problem
when he passed to me n I held it, the left side of my forehead has a tightening feel
like muscle spasm

looking at this kid's photo also has same feel.

I placed the figurine on altar n cleanse n after the puja, it is ok when I hold it the same way again!

Anything can sit into the statue at any time if the owners are not careful or don't cultivate properly to invoke the deities or divinities presence and keep them present! ---]


Dear readers, sometimes the Karmic foes of the person seeking help are too angry and won't negotiate. Best refer to SZ for help.

Lotuschef In Chat - Scary Karma [2]



Paying Karmic Debts - Offering incense to the karmic negatives helps too!
SZ teaches this method often!


[--- BB: Ya its scary... oh ya another case.
There was a boy about 3 years old.
He is suffering from skin deseases.
So his skin is like crocodile or reptiles... And gm asked him to burn money paper and guo huo.
It will reduced his skin deseases.
Well this is what i see in here... just want to share to all of u... in deed karma is scary. ---]

[--- PKV:  skin problem, Gao wang is ideal.
but he is only 3 then guohuo-passing thru fire is a better alternative lol ---]


Lots of people made demands on SZ! 

Still remember once SZ wrote an article about the VMs suggesting that SZ issue Certificate to guarantee the rich sponsors of say 1million, will go to PureLand!

Hahaha!
This is same article that SZ said when he retires, he return TBS to the Divinities and the Universe!

This is Pure Karma's Altar.
Sleek, simple, bright, inviting,..... :)
We shouldn't complicate our altars and likewise our Life.



Amitofo Lotus Chef, As a disciple of Grand Master Living Buddha Lien Sheng and a regular at the Sunday fire homas, I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! 

To see the various disciples and monks rushing forward to grab the blessed offerings in such a fashion is shocking, disturbing and produces such a different vibration than the holy vibration we all had the wonderful chance to take part in thanks to Grand Master.  

The vibrations of greed are definitely present as with so many attached entities and karmic creditors that have not been released.

As I work my way through this crowd to get my turn at the fire homa, I must deeply chant the White Padmakumara long mantra to deal with this heavy oppressive energy.

I have seen all the acts you mentioned and know they happen regularly after the ceremonies.

But I know the law of karma and you cant escape, we all pay in the end. 

Thanks for mentioning this in your blog, I hope disciples can reflect and take a look at themselves honestly and change their ways.

Well, these happened all over the world, after events! 

A local chapter's volunteers snatch at offerings from the Blessing Altar and not the Bardo one! 
They believe that the Bardo one is Tainted by ghosts or spirits!

SZ said: Om Ah Hom! Cleanse all! Everything is the same.

Seems SZ's words mostly fall on deaf ears! Hahaha! 

There was an incident that was very crazy too! 
The chapter's volunteers made a huge fuzz with Lotus Light Charity for carting away the offerings of an event before they have a chance to pick and choose for themselves.
They demanded that the Offerings be returned to the chapter and the remains after their "picking" will be donate to Lotus Light! 

So the chapter's volunteers are needies too? 
They badly need charity? 

Actually there are Hot/Cold water dispensers in the Homa Hall. You only need to bring a container to collect water. As long as they are there during the Homa, they already got plenty of blessing from SZ Astrally if they but stay cool and they can feel SZ's blessing from their crowns, slowly spreading downwards to fill their whole body.

All they need to stay tune to SZ's teachings and RELAX! 
O! They must also have Absolute Believe in SZ! 

Cheers all.

The Hungry Ghost Phenomenon 饿鬼的迹象 [1]

Terjemahan Indonesia: Fenomena Hantu Lapar [1]

Preta as depicted within Bhavacakra


[Quoting from Wikipedia – Hungry Ghost]

Hungry ghost is a Western translation of Chinese 餓鬼 (èguǐ), a concept in Chinese Buddhism and Chinese traditional religion representing beings who are driven by intense emotional needs in an animalistic way.

The Chinese concept is related to the preta in Buddhism more generally.

These beings are "ghosts" only in the sense of not being fully alive; not fully capable of living and appreciating what the moment has to offer.

The English term has often been used metaphorically to describe the insatiable craving of an addict.



Chinese folk religion


Hungry ghosts also appear in Chinese ancestor worship. 鬼法界, 鬼界 is "the realm of hungry ghosts".[2] Some Chinese believe[who?] that the ghosts of their ancestors return to their houses at a certain time of the year, hungry and ready to eat. A festival called the Hungry Ghost Festival (TC: 盂蘭盆, SC: 盂兰盆 Yúlánpén) is held to honor the hungry ancestor ghosts and food and drink is put out to satisfy their needs.

When Buddhism entered China, it encountered stiff opposition from the Confucian adherents to ancestor worship. Under these pressures, ancestor worship was combined with the Hindu/Buddhist concept of the hungry ghost. Eventually, the Hungry Ghost Festival became an important part of Chinese Buddhist life.

According to transcribed oral tradition, some Chinese villagers believe that spirits may be granted permission to return to the world of the living, and to take what they can from there, if these spirits had not been given sufficient offerings by their living relatives.




Tibetan Buddhism

Main article: Preta

In Tibetan Buddhism Hungry Ghosts (Tib. ཡི་དྭགས་, Wyl. yi dwags, Sanskrit: pretas) have their own realm depicted on the Bhavacakra and are represented as teardrop or paisley-shaped with bloated stomachs and necks too thin to pass food such that attempting to eat is also incredibly painful. Some are described as having "mouths the size of a needle's eye and a stomach the size of a mountain". This is a metaphor for people futilely attempting to fulfill their illusory physical desires.

According to the History of Buddhism, as elements of Chinese Buddhism entered a dialogue with Indian Buddhism in the Tibetan Plateau, this synthesis is evident in the compassion rendered in the form of blessed remains of food, etc., offered to the pretas in rites such as Ganachakra.

Dear all, 
Seen these?

Greedily grabbing and seizing of Offering brought by others - These happen all the time on Sundays in rainbow temple after fire puja when students grab greedily at others' stuff from the offering area!

It is a horrible sight indeed to see after an auspicious session by SZ!

Seems most popular are bottled water! 

Don't cost much but also like to take away from others for Self. :)

Watch them next weekend, the look in their eyes and the Joy of "Success" at pilfering is indeed hair-raising! 
O! They would return to "hunting grounds" after storing their loots! 
Some put their loots in their cars and return for subsequent rounds.

It is good practice to Observe and Store and you slowly learn to read auras, with good Qi & Light mobilization.

Hahaha! I seem to be seeing Ghosts too often!!!

Cheers all.
