Dear David,

1. Taking refuge:
From your email, you said that you are aware of the Remote Refuge Procedure. That's good!

What do you mean by Taking Refuge through Lama Lotuschef?
You mean you will attend one of our events and have Lama Lotuschef perform the Refuge taking ceremony for you?

You can do so indoors as well as outdoors, as long as you are facing East or the Direction of the Rising Sun.


2. [After that remote empowerment, may I ask for guidance from you regarding cultivation.]
Whether you take refuge with GM Lu or other Gurus, guidance should come from HIM, the Root Guru.

I have vowed to not accept any students in this lifetime, therefore, cultivation guidances is dependent upon Affinity with me or not. :)

My program for all new comers to Pure Karma, are the same as stated by GM Lu, My Root Guru.
 

Start from Basics: Resource Path Cultivation (Sambhara Marga)
This and other Basics are all within the 4 Preliminaries Practice (Prayoga Marga).
You just have to read up and watch the relevant videos and pick up the keys only.

If you are familiar with TBS' affairs, rumours, gossips......
I am a TBS delisted reverend and most would advise you to steer clear of me. :)

O! And my services are very expensive too! :)

I do not wish to waste time with insincere people that believe that I must be their slave and deliver goodies to help them get rich, powerful, famous... quick!

Hahaha!
I do not market "Get Rich & Powerful & Famous" quick packages!

If you are still interested to learn from me, start by attending Pure Karma Events.
The next one in Jakarta is 26 March 2016. 

Or participate by sponsoring or doing dedication during our events.
All details in Events Page of our blogs.

Register online please.

You might also be aware that Personal Counselling is SGD 3000 for each block of 20 minutes or part thereof.

Note: If you want to learn anything from me, be prepared to answer my questions first!
This is to gauge your levels and apply the relevant dharma or method to aid you.

Mortals' Questions 凡人的问题

Terjemahan Indonesia: Pertanyaan-pertanyaan Orang Awam

Dear Lama Lotuschef,
Amitoufo. My name is D. I live in Jakarta. I would like to take refuge in Grandmaster Lu through you, Lama Lotuschef. I hope you may help me. Looking forward for your reply. Thank you.
Warm regard,
DS

Hi D,
This is the procedure for remote empowerment:
(2) By “Remote Empowerment”
It is not often possible for someone who lives far away to take refuge in person. Students who desire to take refuge can, on the first or fifteenth of any lunar month, at 7:00 a.m., while facing the direction of the rising sun, recite the Fourfold Refuge Mantra three times:

“Namo Guru bei, Namo Buddha ye, Namo Dharma ye, Namo Sangha ye. Seeking Living Buddha Lian-sheng’s guidance, I am taking refuge in the True Buddha” and prostrate three times.

On the first or fifteenth of every lunar month, His Holiness performs a ceremony of “remote empowerment” at the True Buddha Quarter to give the empowerment to all students who could not journey there in person.

A student who takes refuge from a distance after performing the rites at home, only needs to send a letter to the True Buddha Quarter stating one’s intent to seek refuge, along with one’s name, address, age, and an offering in any amount to the Buddhas.
Upon receiving the letter, His Holiness will send a certificate, a picture of the guru, and a note stating the level of practice that one should begin with.

This is the address for you to send your details and gongyang for refuge purpose:

Thank you for your reply. In fact, I am aware of the remote empowerment.

One thing still unclear for me whether I must face the direction of rising sun directly outdoor or I may face east / direction of rising sun inside of my house/ indoor. 

After that remote empowerment, may I ask for guidance from you regarding cultivation. Thank you.
Cheers,
D

In recent speech, GM Lu shared how to welcome Fortune Deity into your house.

AND also lots of questions that sentient minds can come up with as hindrances to themselves! 

The above is doubtful of facing East or the Rising Sun, indoor or outdoor! 

Dear all, sincerity is from One's heart! 

Whenever you can sincerely put your body speech mind to take refuge, it really is all that matters! 

Cheers all.
