神通，神棍 Transcendental Ability / Transcendental Confidence Trickster

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kesaktian Transendental, Penipu Berkedok Kesaktian Transendental

蓮生活佛著作 ＞ 盧勝彥文集 ＞ 227_悟境一點通 ＞ 第十二問：神通是開發的嗎？

據我所知，很多低級的靈，均會冒充高級的菩薩，凡夫往往被低靈所騙，連通靈人也被騙，所以在這方面，不執著最好，切記！切記！
As per my knowledge, many lower level spirits all have know how to impersonate high level Boddhisattva, mortal always gets bluff by these low level spirits, even those that can communicate with spirits are no exception, therefore best do not be fixated in this direction, bear in mind! bear in mind!

我們學習佛法：
We studying Buddha Dharma:
　　
一、學習文殊菩薩、龍樹菩薩為源頭的中觀般若佛法。
Study & practice Middle-path Prajna Buddha Dharma that originates from Manjusri & Nagajuna Boddhisattvas.

二、學習彌勒菩薩、無著菩薩為源頭的唯識般若佛法。Study & practice Citta-matra prajna Buddha Dharma that originates from Maitreya & Asanga Boddhisattvas.

「教」、「證」我們都要學。
[Teachings] , [Affirmation] we must all study.
　　
我們不是開發神通。
We do not develop Transcendental Ability.　
切記！切記！念頭一差，便成魔了！
Bear in mind! Bear In mind! Thought once strayed, will become Demon!

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

蓮生活佛著作 ＞ 盧勝彥文集 ＞ 227_悟境一點通 ＞ 第二十二問：怎麼區分是不是神棍？

以前，我的師父了鳴和尚告訴我：
Previously, my teacher, Reverend Liao-ming told me:　　

「不可開口向人要錢！」
Cannot openly ask others for money!　　

我辦到了！
I did it!　

「不可勉強他人！」
Do not force others!　

我辦到了！
I did it!

我實實在在的告訴大家，凡是開口向人要錢，勉強他人，假藉神明旨意的，應該列入嫌疑犯。
I tell all of you straight up, all that ask openly for money from others, force others, falsely alleged that they have divine's instruction, should be listed as criminal suspects.

如情如理如法的，可以信。
If as per situation, logic, dharma, can believe.

非情非理非法的，不可以信。
Otherwise, cannot believe.
　　
真正的修行人，是這樣子的：
True cultivator is like this:　　

佛說：三界如幻。一切無所有，一切無所得。
Buddha said: 3 realms similar to illusion. All don't exist, all can't attain.
　　
現觀莊嚴論：發心為利他，求正菩提心。
Abhisamaya-alaṅkāra: bodhicitta-samutpada to benefit others, to affirm Boddhicitta.
　　
寶積經：一切諸見，以空得脫。
Mahā ratnakūṭa sūtra: All sights (Forms), break free with void.
　　
我鄭重的聲明：「如果貪著世間的財，貪著世間的色，其人不明佛教，不明無所得，不明空，不明菩提心。是假行者！」
I solemnly declare: If greed for sentient wealth, form, that person do not understand Buddhism, nothing to attain, void & boddhicitta. Is a fake cultivator!

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

The trickster is an alchemist, a magician, creating realities in the duality of time and illusion. In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphic animal who plays tricks or otherwise disobeys normal rules and conventional behaviour.

Confidence trickster - a person who sets out to defraud or deceive people by persuading them to believe something that is not true.

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

The above contents, GM Lu had expounded countless times over the past 40+ years!
And if you are one of them that got tricked or cheated, YOU are one of those that did not grasp any fundamentals of GM Lu's dharma teachings!

Do not call yourself a Student of The Living Buddha Lian Sheng or Buddha!
You are a FAKE!

AND, a Buddha's initial criteria for Hinayana, the first step of the 9 Yanas, is Not to Harm anyone!

By continuing to hurl negatives at XX openly, you do not have any merits as a Buddha's student!

GM Lu said yesterday that on the 6th floor, another couple brought up their story of being bluffed by XX too!

GM Lu really don't want to hear anymore, because he already knew!

It was always your personal choice to Believe anyone!

Thats why, its your own personal Karmic Influences and nothing to do with anyone else!

Hahaha!

有沒有傳承? Lost Lineage Transmission or Not?

Terjemahan Indonesia: Kehilangan Transmisi Silsilah atau Tidak?

Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 256_拜訪大師 > 有沒有傳承?

English translation by Lotuschef

最近有幾批人，天天上山問我，我們有沒有喪失『傳承』？

Recently, there are few groups of people that came up to mountain (Caotun temple is on Tiger Mountain), have we lost [Lineage transmission]?

問的人甚多，有比丘比丘尼，有很多在家居士，有時三、兩位，有時十多位，更多的是，一次來三十多位，同一個問題：
『我們有沒有喪失傳承？』

Those asking are quite alot, consisting or monks, nuns, lay students, sometimes 3 or 2 or more than 10, or even more, once more than 30 persons, same question: 

Have we lost [Lineage transmission]?

原因是：
他們都依止一位上師，佩帶了上師画的符令，受上師的加持，也佩帶了一種特殊的團體供奉之物。

The reason:

They took refuge with a master, wear talismans drawn by this master, getting empowerment from this master, also wear one kind of special group offering material.

我聽了，沉默不語。

Upon hearing these, I maintain silence.

問：『我們須要盧師尊的傳承！』

Ask: We need GM Lu's lineage transmission!

也有人直接說：『請盧師尊寫手諭，說我們有傳承！』

Some said straight out: GM Lu, Please write Instruction, saying we have lineage transmission!

我本來想寫手諭給他們，但，後來想一想，覺得不妥當。

Originally, I thought to write for them, BUT, upon further thought, felt that is inappropriate.

為什麼不妥當？Why inappropriate?

原來『有傳承』或『沒有傳承』，行者應該知道，不應該問我。

Originally, Have Lineage Transmission or not, the cultivator should know himself/herself, should not ask me.

我說：I say:
恭敬自己皈依的上師，就有傳承。

不恭敬自己皈依的上師，就沒有傳承。

Respect and honor one's refuge guru, that is have lineage transmission.

Don'e respect and honor then don't have.

依止我的，就有傳承。

Refuge with me, then have lineage transmission.
離開我的，必失傳承。

Leave me, then don't have lineage transmission.

又：AND:
學佛的人要守戒律，守了戒律，不破三昧耶，就有傳承。
如果不守戒律，破三昧耶，當然失去了傳承，如斷線的風箏。

Buddha's students must abide disciplines, do not breach Samaya, then have lineage transmission.

If do not abide disciplines and breach Samaya, of course lost lineage transmission, like a kite with a broken string.

又：And:
你依止了根本上師盧師尊，又跑去依止其他上師，同門與同門之間，互為師徒，這一定會喪失了傳承。
如果只是一皈依，那就不會喪失傳承。

You take refuge with GM Lu, and also ran to take refuge with other masters, between fellow students, becoming guru & students, this sure lost lineage transmission.

If only one refuge, then won't lost lineage transmission.

又：And:
如果你一日三時，早、午、晚，憶念根本上師，不會喪失傳承。
如果你根本不憶念根本上師，就一定沒有傳承了。

If you always remember & think of your Root Guru, 3 times daily - morning noon night, won't lost lineage transmission.

If you have never done so, of course don't have lineage transmission.

<<part of lyrics I wrote in dedication to GM Lu-- 时时惦记着您 - thinking fondly of you all the time>>

又：And:
你每天修根本上師傳承下來的佛法，只要每日一修，你是有傳承的。
若，你根本不修法，自然喪失傳承。

You cultivate Buddha dharma transmitted by Root Guru, only need to cultivate once a day, you do have lineage transmission.

If you do not cultivate at all, naturally lost lineage transmission.

又：And:
你退了道心，就退了傳承。
道心不退，傳承永在。

You retracted from Boddhi-path heart, then retracted lineage transmission.

Boddhi-path heart not retracted, Lineage transmission exist forever.

又：And:
在背後講根本上師的是非，早已喪失傳承了。

Gossiping behind Root guru, already lost lineage transmission.

誹謗佛。Slander Buddha.
誹謗法。Slander dharma.
誹謗僧。Slander Sangha.
皆喪失了傳承。All lost lineage transmission.
（這是『是非人』、『八卦人』、『妄語人』、犯口業的）

This is [gossiper], [busybody], [liars], breach speech karma.

又：And:
根本未相應，自稱已相應，隨隨便便給大眾灌頂。

Never achieved yogic union, self claimed have, giving abhiseka to great public any old how.

這叫灌信不具，是沒有傳承的。

This abhiseka not credible, do not have lineage transmission.

跟隨者。Followers.
信仰者。Believers.
供養者。Offerers.
皆失傳承。All lost lineage transmission.

又：用鬼法者，已失傳承。自稱大神通（大鬼通），已失傳承。

And: Those Using Ghost methods, already lost Lineage transmission. 

Self proclaimed as Great transcendental ability (Great ghost ability), already lost Lineage transmission.

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

Hahaha! 

GM Lu dealt with this question in a recent speech & HIS reply: You know yourself, why ask me?

A VM said after homa event to attendees: For those that think you do not need blessings from me, then no need to stand in line.

Hahaha! 

His words were directed at me!

I was sitting where I have been during the homa and also didn't stand in line for blessing from him for past events.

Yes! I do not line up or walk pass like fellow attendees for blessing or abhiseka from other masters, be they from TBS or other schools.

I believe only in GM Lu and blessing or abhiseka only from him and through him, Divine Blessing & abhiseka! 

Your safest choice: Only listen to One & Only Root Guru and don't get side-tracked by anyone else and go astray!

有關「蓮格上師」的慘劇 Pertaining to Tragedy of VM Lian-ge

Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengenai Tragedi VM Lian-ge

Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 75_真佛法中法 > 有關「蓮格上師」的慘劇

Above: GM Lu during the Usnisa Vijaya Homa Event in Caotun Temple on 19-3-2106.


NOTE: The following is a letter written by Reverend Lian-xin (heart), to GM Lu, detailing her encounter with VM Lian-ge, who went into Mara's path.

「蓮格上師的慘劇」一文刊出後，諸弟子諸多回響，而且議論紛紛，很多的人替他惋惜，認為一步走歧，便入魔道矣！
[Tragedy of VM Lian-ge] , an article published that cause lots of students to have repercussion, and debates, many feel sad for him, feeling that a step in wrong direction, lead to entering Mara's path!

　　因此，特別再刊出「蓮心」的來信，再申明之：

師尊慈鑒：

　　謝謝回信！

　　昨日收到蓮邦第廿一期，看到「蓮格上師的慘劇」一文，感慨萬千，他給我的印象很深，是一位使我對「真佛宗」信心動搖的人。
Received Lian-bang's 21st edition, and read the article [Tragedy of VM Lian-ge], I have lots of deep regretful emotion, he gave me a deep impression, is one that caused me to falter in my believe in [True Buddha School].

　　記得一九八六年祈福法會的前一天，那天早上當我進入「雷藏寺」，見有四人坐在佛前修法，我全不認識他（她）們，但因自己沒有事情做，就坐下與他們一齊同修，修完後，我覺得指導我們的人教得很好，我是初修法，什麼都不懂，當我稱讚他領導得好時。
(Reverend Lian-xin joined a group of 4 who were cultivating in LZS, and after the cultivation, she felt the one who led the session taught well, as she is new to cultivation, and don't know anything, she praised his good guidance.)

　　他自我介紹一番：「……我是蓮格上師……紅蓮花童子轉世……我修了兩年就拿到上師……。」
He introduced himself this way: ....... I am VM Lian-ge.... red padmakumara reincarnation.... I cultivated 2 years and got VM .....

　　一聽是紅蓮花童子上師，我更敬佩他，但「修了兩年就拿到上師」，我覺得不對勁，顯然他修法的目的全為了「上師」之名。
Upon hearing red padmakumara VM, I admired him more, BUT [Cultivated 2 years and got VM], I felt something amiss, its obvious his motive for cultivation is because of title of [VM].

　　當我回飯聽吃早餐的時候，他又在堂中自己練各種啟靈，動作殊多怪異，引得周圍人人群聚看他，看得目瞪口呆，然後，又自動的推介自己，紅蓮花童子，二年就拿到上師云云。
When I returned to dining hall to have breakfast, he was in the middle of the hall practicing all kinds of raising spirits, lots of weird movements, attracting attention from all around to crowd around him, and watching dumbfoundedly, then, he automatically promote himself as red padmakumara, got VM title in 2 years ......

　　當他練完後，卻到餐廳邀我同他們一起去逛街，我不便拒絕他的好意，即同去，一路他所談的無不是神通靈感，無不是自誇，還說：「將來真佛宗的上師會跟師尊拚。」
After his practice, he came and invite me to join his group's outing, and I can't refuse his good intention, so went along. All along the way, he talked non-stop about transcendental abilities and spiritual responses, none of his words are not self boast, still said: in the future, VM of TBS will compete with GM.

　　那時我真是搞糊塗了，紅蓮花童子會跟白蓮花童子拚，天哪！

Gosh! I became confused, Red padmakumara will compete with White Padmakumara!

我誤認真佛宗好像是搞權利鬥爭的宗派。

I mistakenly feel that TBS seem like playing or acting out School or Sector of Power Struggle.

但又想到宗主本人，我相信不會是那麼一回事，本著關懷「真佛宗」的心，當晚我寫了一篇文章。

But I thought of Sector's chief, I believe won't be like this, with concern for TBS, I wrote an article that night.

「……我無天眼，但一對凡眼，我看到蓮格上師的兩種光。

一是傲氣逼人的光。二是嫉妒的光。……我盼望大家先學師父的慈悲及做人……。」
[.....I don't ave heavenly eye, only a pair of mortal eyes, I saw VM Lian-ge's 2 types of light. One, the suppressing light of pridefulness. Two, light of jealousy.

..... I hope that all first learn from Guru his compassion and living as a human being ......]

　　文章沒有發表，但感觸良多。
Article was not published, but very heart-felt!

　　想到「蓮格上師」，使我不敢再有度眾生之念，先度自己為要，他學法最初動機，也是為弘法度眾生，前世的根基如此的好，卻落到如此的下場，是否該怪他祇重於修法神通，而不知修心，不重視內心的修養。
(His sad end, is it the blame of his placing importance on cultivating transcendental communication, and not knowing to cultivate Heart, not sighting importance of cultivating Inner Heart.)

　　到目前，我對密法一知半解。

　　一法也無。一法也不知。

　　也無法可修。只知修心觀心。

　　但願依傳承加持力，使我修心得成就。

　　敬祝　　佛安

弟子蓮心合十
一九八七、十二、三十

　　蓮心的來信，我有幾點申明：
To Lian-xin's letter, I have to clarify these points:

一、蓮格上師有自己的心咒，他也收弟子，但，收弟子，竟全是師尊的弟子，這是混亂傳承的。
1. VM Lian-ge has his own mantra, he takes in students, but these students are all GM Lu's students, this is messing up Transmitted lineage. 

按密教儀軌：「事師法五十頌」第四十三條：
　　「傳承法統，不可亂，同拜一位上師，不可再互為師或徒，這是法統。」
As Tantrayana's sadhana: [50 verses of Guru's matter dharma] number 43:

Dharma Standards of Transmitted Lineage, cannot mix or mess up, seeking same guru to study from, cannot become teacher and student again with one another, this is the Dharma Standards.]

　　蓮格上師也教師尊弟子唸其心咒，這也是混亂傳承的。
By having his own mantra and teaching fellow students of GM Lu to chant it, VM Lian-ge messed up transmitted lineage.

　　我認為：蓮格上師可以收弟子，但，不得收師尊的弟子。
I feel that: VM Lian-ge can take in students, BUT, they cannot be GM Lu's students.

　　可以教心咒唸誦。皈依他的弟子可以唸誦他的心咒及供像。
Can teach to chant mantra. Those that took refuge with him can chant his mantra and pay homage to his form.

二、真佛宗不是權利鬥爭的宗派，宗主也是有其名，並無其實，空名而已，誰願當宗主，可以讓與誰。（由蓮生活佛傳法認可而付託之）
2. TBS is not a school of Power Struggle, and the chief has the title but nothing solid, just an empty title/name only, who wish to become school's chief, can give way to them.

三、修法要修心，未修心光修法，會成魔。魔的本性是「驕傲與嫉妒」的綜合體。慈悲才是菩薩，正覺就是佛。
3. Cultivate dharma must cultivate heart, without cultivating heart and solely cultivate dharma, can become Mara. Mara's nature is combination form of [Pride/Proud and Jealousy].

Kind and compassionate then is Boddhisattva, Right Perception/Realisation then is Buddha.

四、真佛宗的上師要好好度眾生，向外去度眾生，眾生何其多也。不要向內搞小圈圈，在師尊的弟子中分派系。
4. TBS' VMs must succour sentient beings properly, outwardly succour innumerous sentient beings. Do not create small circles of divisions within GM Lu's students.

五、若上師妄為，金剛護法必誅，入金剛地獄。這是因果循環，慎之，慎之啊！

5. If VM misbehaved, Vajra Dharmapala will punish, enter Vajra Hell. This is Karma cycle, beware, beware!

~~~~~~~~~

Dualism, Differentiation, Segregation...... :)

When someone keep stressing that "I am ......" to make you feel out of his class or inferior and you can never match or compete, laugh merrily and walk away! 

As GM Lu said, The Vajra Dharmapalas will "Take care" of them! 

Nothing to do with anyone else! :)

Don't join the crowd and pollute yourself!

In the above article:

Rev. Lian-xin said that VM Lian-ge did well in guiding through the cultivation, FROM a freshie point of view. :)

Then just learn that and forget the unpalatable "Self preening peacock" statements of VM Lian-ge!

Now think: 

When someone choose to be different, he is entangling himself in mortal's quagmire and imprisoning himself under the form of Title and its associative "benefits" !

Hahaha!

Can he truly benefit at all?

O! The red or orange and big and small padmakumaras thingy?

Nothing to do with you too!

A local reverend used to spread the words that GM Lu said he is "Small orange padmakumara" ....... and he became VM about 7 months after being ordained.

So what!!!

If you ever get confused by anyone, cut them off and listen Only to your Root Guru!

The Inner Cultivation or Cultivating Heart is the most important and no one can do so for you!

Armed yourself with all the fundamental knowledge and you can proceed into cultivation smoothly and successfully.

Yes! 

Everyone can do well if they put in sincere and diligent efforts!

Not privilege to a few only!

Cheers all.
