煙供一奇 A Unique Smoke Offering

Terjemahan Indonesia: Sebuah Puja Asap (Dhumapuja) yang Unik
Source: 盧勝彥文集第243冊《荒誕奇談》 Lu Sheng Yan Literary Collection No. 243 [Incredible/Ridiculous Unusual Tales], T322 煙供一奇



一位弟子,「蓮花森一」告訴我:
A student, Lotus Shen-yi, told me:

他受了「煙供」灌頂,學習了「煙供」的口訣及方法,便在自家的陽台燒煙供。
He received Abhiseka for Smoke Offering, learned the keys & method, then did burn Smoke Offering at the balcony of his residence.

那一天,他想起自己的母親,由於母親已逝世多年,也從來未在夢中看見她,他特別召請母親也來受煙供。
That day, he thought of his mother, she passed away many years but didn't see her in dream at all, so he specially invited his late mother to accept Smoke Offering.

他點火。
He lighted fire.

煙裊裊升起。
Smoke curls upwards.

(蓮花森一口中喃喃的誦:嗡。嘛呢叭咪。吽。)
Lotus Shen-yi chants: Om Mani Pad Me Hom

那煙奇怪。
The smoke is unusual.

煙一直往自己的臉上吹拂,而且久聚不散。
Smoke kept blowing into his own face, and gathered but didn't disperse.

他突然靈機一動,說:
He suddenly has this bright spark, said:

「如果是母親來受煙供,請繞著自己的脖子三圈。」
If is is mother who comes to accept smoke offering, please circle my neck 3 times.

那煙卻真的裊裊的,以優美的姿態,繞了脖子三圈。」
The smoke truly curled upwards in a graceful pattern, circling his neck 3 times.

哇!真的是母親來了!
Wow! Truly is mother's presence!

他問:
He asked: 

「母親,你現在的境界如何?如果是上升,煙往上沖,如果是下降,煙往下吹。」
Mother, which realm are you presently in? If upwards, smoke rises up; if downwards, smoke blown downwards.

說也奇怪:
Its is unusual to say:

煙往上沖。
Smoke rises upwards.

哇!是上到天上界了!
Wow! Is up to Heavenly Realm!

他又問:
He asked again:

「母親,我現在做股票,我現在該買還是該賣?」
Mother, I am into Stock Brokering, should I buy or sell now?

(買是上沖,賣是下降)
Buy then upwards, sell then downwards.

那煙,漸漸的蜿繞而下降至足,而且在足上停留。
That smoke, gradually meanders downwards to the foot, at the same time staying on the foot.

哇!真的很準喔!隔一天,股票就連降好多天。
Wow! Very Accurate! The next day, Stocks plummeted for a few days.

他問:
He asked: 

「小弟成績如何?」
How is younger brother's results?

那煙不高不低,呈現平平的姿態。
That smoke not high nor low, showing average pattern.

哇!真準!
Wow! Very accurate!

小弟的成績平平而已。
Younger brother's results is average.

他問:
He asked: 

「我的婚姻將來如何?」
How is the future of my marriage?

(因為蓮花森一,與自己的妻子感情不是很和睦)
Because Lotus Shen-yi's marital relationship is not very harmonious.

想不到那煙表現得更奇,竟然橫的一條,最後,從中間裂為兩半。
Unthinkably, smoke uniquely present, a horizontal stroke and then from middle break into 2 halves.

哇!證之後來,果然離婚了!
Wow! Affirmed later, truly went through divorce.

他問:
He asked: 

「盧師尊是不是大成就者?」
Is Grandmaster Lu a great achiever? (Means Cultivation Attainment)

最怪的事情發生了,那升上來的煙,竟然自動的形成一個字:
The most unusual happened, that smoke rises up and formed a character:

「大」!
Big!

他又問:
He asked again:

「盧師尊是大成就者,但,災難是如此的多,為什麼是這樣?」
Grandmaster Lu is a great achiever, but, lots of calamities, why is this so?

想不到,煙跑去繞著鐵欄桿。
Unbelievably, the smoke went around a metal rail.

蓮花森一想:
Lotus Shen-yi thought:

一定是障礙!如果是障礙,那也是滿準的。
Must be Hindrance! If is Hindrance, then pretty accurate.

……。

蓮花森一燒「煙供」,結果用「煙供」自然能問事,這也是一奇。
Lotus Shen-yi burn Smoke Offering, resulted in using Smoke offering to naturally [wen-shi] - (means consultation); this is Unusual or Unique.

我說:
I say:

「煙供」能問事,這純屬一件特別的例子,不一定人人能。
Smoke Offering can do consultation, this is purely an Unique example, not everyone can do so.

股票有漲有跌,我個人不喜問股票。
Stocks rise and fall, I personally do not like to ask about Stocks.

問修行,我倒是比較喜歡。
I prefer to be asked about Cultivation.

鬼神能問事嗎?
Ghost & Deity can do consultation?

我告訴大家:鬼神一切知。
Let me tell you all: Ghost & Deity know all.

---

Dear all, 
If you are doing Smoke Offering for a purpose, and that is for Self, like the above student, sad to said that you are truly lacking in knowledge of True Purpose of Cultivation.

Well?
You are too sentiently entangled and will waste away your limited Life span this visit without Freeing Self from Samsara and what more helping others to break free too! 

Hahaha!

Read GM's comments?

Yes! 
If you read deeply, you would have picked up GM's true sentiments on what occurred to this student!

Do you know that Cultivation can really help you change your Destiny?

Yes! 
The Divorce can be prevented, once he has prior knowledge!

However, like most beings, listening to predictions, they somehow helped these predictions along to fruitfulness! 

Hahaha!

So a wise & diligent cultivator will really not be affected by any predictions like GM taught in this article: 做你自己吧!Be Yourself!

Now Think:
What is Cultivation?
Why do I choose to Cultivate?
How do I go about Cultivating well?


Cheers all.

Karma 因果 – Affinity Practice 因緣法 [2]


Hi all,
This article shared by Sn, explained many basic keys clearly.

I heard that Rd advised Yn to move house as his house Fengshui no good for him. :)
Hahaha!


It is not the house Fengshui but Individual selves that need to Do Something About their Own Individual Karma!


Look at Wu, after the second time I helped him, he is diligently chanting 100 Syllable mantra.
He saved himself and also brought light to many.


You all forgot that I advised you all to start with making a wish that " From now on, all merits from your actions or deeds, will be dedicated to all, and may all be well and happy!"

This is also the Boddhicitta wish in Vajrasattva or 4 Preliminaries Practice 四家行

I also heard you people are doing Smoke Offering too!
Hahaha!

The move house, the cultivation of Smoke offering instead of Vajrasattva repentance, shows that you people are "Disturbed" Mentally and LOST!

Remember 一心不乱 - A heart unaffected by any forces into action

I also advised all to be charitable, have any of you really do charity voluntarily and not for a motive or reward?

Simple way is to buy incense, fold some lotuses and offer other incense paper to all spirits n earth n city deities daily and also contribute them for offering at group cultivation too!


You also can fold and pass to me to offer during events locally or overseas.
You can also sponsor charity like what we do overseas as well.


Or you chant more gao wang sutra or 100 syllable mantra to dedicate to ALL beings!

It is a matter of whether YOU, yourself is willing to change your own Fate.
Thats all shared in this article from Sn.


Please Understand what is Cultivation First!

And Vajrasattva Practice consists of Repentance; Purifying & Cleansing, which as per GM, is the Best in Repentance and no other practice can surpass this!


Think and try to use Wisdom in you decision, and not get side-tracked or deviate from Boddhi Path and GM's teachings.

The results will be that you move further n further away from GM only!

Always think of what GM teaches to guide you along too.
That is how One can Stabilise Lineage link to and with GM, your root guru.

Now, some of you dream that GM come "Mo-ding"; THINK deeply, WHY?

GM appearance might be a warning to not stray off course, agree?

Of course, its a form of blessing too!
But might not be telling you that you have done well, agree?

Do not make blunders with Superstitions and things like Fengshui or rely on them.
methods of convenience 方便法 is dependent on One's karmic influences & Affinity with Buddha!
The article also clearly defined these.

Read and try to understand this article well & you will know what I am trying to share with you!

Hahaha!

Wake up please.

Cheers all

大手印 Mahamudra




大手印(梵文:Mahāmudrā,藏文:Chagchen,威利拼音:phyag chen),藏传佛教新译派最重要的传承。与旧译派的大圆满传承,形成藏传佛教两大主流之一。

历史

帝洛巴将“六句建言”传给 那洛巴
放下过去所发生的。
放下未来可能会出现的。
放下现在正在发生的。
不要企图揣摩著什么。
不要企图令任何事情发生。
放松,就在当下,然后休息。

The above is 6 suggestion from Tilopa to Naropa.
Its invaluable to all aspiring to be True Yogi!
  1. Renounce or Let go all that had happened in the past.
  2. Let go what might happen or appear in the the future.
  3. Let go of what is happening at the present moment.
  4. Do not have intent to be fixated
  5. Do not have intent to make anything happen
  6. Relax and let go of the present or current phase, then rest.

Dear all,
There are plenty of materials for anyone that is Truly Sincere in learning about Cultivation.
However, Sentient Minds are easily diverted to "NEW" and then they made excuses or gave explanation to justify what they are doing.

Therefore, what Root Guru said, seems to be like "Wind that passes by One's ears, Never entering at all!"


From chat archive:
[--- AA: Met SS liaohahaha! Guess what?

They listened to TT n started to do smoke offering, all claiming needs to offer to their karmic foes!!!
so sad!

at the start of cultivation, 4 immeasurable visualization means nothing to them liao! when all transform into Light, no more self n others, where to find Karmic foes? :)

and Mahamudra stage one is Concentrate on One!

TT will bear even more karma by misleading others!


BB: so every sat they do Smoke.Offering instead Vajrasattva Repetance?


AA: they do smoke offering only when they go SS's or JJ's place

sentient minds didn't realize that this shows dissatisfaction of current program of Vajrasattva repentance

seems they started after having the idea to do smoke offering from BB's assignment!

hahaha! their motive is to clear Karmic negatives of Self!

so they still dont understand that cultivation is for all n No Self


BB: yep, too many wishes. making them confuse which one needs to be done


CC: there is an underlying factor why they chose to do the smoke puja instead of vajrasattva repentance

if you look at the sermon for smoke puja, GM said that this sadhana is also good to pay your karmic debts

unfortunately, many people only listen partially

and the dharma doors to pay karmic debts are also aplenty


AA: seems the group think that TT has been joining in cultivation at SC temple so he can teach them!


CC: vajrasattva repentance has been said to be the greatest amongst all, if only they could remember


AA: ya. the beginning n ultimate!

yoga with 5 buddhas means the whole universe liao! :)

well, personal choice!


CC: yes personal choice :)


AA: ignorance & greed!

our YY with SC about 10 years, he also didn't do well!

O! TT said YY's house fengshui no good n now YY looking for house to move!

also didn't remember what I said about a yogi can control the elements n fengshui won't affect one!

TT has too much taoist stuff he needs to thoroughly throw away!


CC: wah
the tendency is quite obvious

AA: means they all lost complete faith n trust in GM to care for them! ---]


Hahaha!

Remember TT wrote down the sequence of High King Sutra's visualization?
He ended with "Then you gradually enter Meditative state, and wait for Buddha & Boddhisattva to emit light to bless you"!

I advised that when he don't know, don't teach anyone what he think he has grasped or learn.

I remember GM said in some sectors of Tantrayana, a Root Guru gave his student only One practice, that is Great Prostration. This student diligently cultivating this for more than 16 years!

I taught a shi-jie to chant 4 Refuge Vows 108 times during her daily cultivation practice.
WHY? 
Her aura bespoke that she needs to rebuild the Lineage Link to GM Lu.

Also there is this self proclaimed reincarnation of a certain Guru, that also held off imparting his student with Cultivation know-how. 
One of the student revealed that after 9 years of serving her Root Guru, then she was taught a practice!

For those students of GM Lu, see how lucky you are?
Don't waste this opportunity to cultivate well, as in your next lifetime, you might not have such a fortunate encounter with a Living Buddha!

If you think you have lots of negative Karma, then you have!
If you can't stay Focus on cultivating One practice and concentrating on this One practice, you will end up like the "rolling stone that gathers no moss"!

Any way, its all about Personal Choice!

And GM's words of "Believe or not, Up to you!"

Therefore, the conclusion is that these group of students gave up on GM and his teachings and chose to go their own way, directed by what they think they need in a sentient manner.

After the 3 Assignments, it is also obvious that most still don't understand "What is Cultivation"!


Cheers all.
