真正的佛弟子？A Real Buddha's Disciple?

• 佛弟子？Buddha's Disciples?

Date written: Sunday, August 5, 2018

世尊的弟子学的主要是世尊讲的～

The World Supreme One's disciples learn mainly what HE said ~
自主生死 Control own life or death
离苦得乐 Leave suffering to attain happiness
众生平等。All beings are Equal.

如何［做到］？How to [Achieve]?
一个证悟的［老师］，四无量心，八正道 ～无我，无执，无所谓，无畏惧，。。。
An Enlightened or Affirmed [Teacher], the Four Immeasurable Mindset, Eight-fold noble path ~ selfless, no fixation, no attachment, no fear, .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For those of you that listened in to GM Lu's speech in Panama, GM Lu said the MOST Important for a Buddha's disciple is to [离苦得乐 Leave suffering to attain happiness]!

Hahaha!

All the power struggles to be recognized; to be the Big Brother/Sister in a Buddhist Assembly is truly not the THING!

Too bad that big brothers/sisters wasted their most precious commodity in Life, by creating Suffering for Self as well as others!

聞- heard of; 思- to ponder upon; 修- to practice or cultivate

And GM Lu also said that One has to USE Buddha Dharma！

Yes！ It is of utmost important that after you heard Buddha Dharma shared, you ponder upon what was shared and then use it or apply it to your Life!

About the poor attendance in temple because of the person holding the admin-post, nothing new too!

I attended a cultivation because VM LL said he wanted to hand me some documents.

Present were VM, myself and 2 fellow disciples.

One of them is the infamous JY quoted in lots of my articles and the other one seems to follow me around to attend cultivation session led by me.

Yes! A total of 4 - One VM， One reverend, and 2 fellow students!

In this same chapter, 2 reverends started to lead cultivation but the attendees dwindled to only themselves.

They then went to another chapter and the same occurred, attendees decreased and they stopped going to lead cultivation.

Both of them promised yet another chapter to lead cultivation but ended up not even showing up for the very first session, without any prior notice to the chapter and also giving no explanation after.

So there's another reason other than GANG mentality!

The one leading the cultivation can also cause fellow students to stay away!

Well? GM Lu advices in the above speech in Panama is to be heeded for your own well being!

Listen only to your Root Guru!

Murid Buddha? ~ Wenshi 佛弟子？~问事

Sumber: Buddha's Disciple? ~ Wenshi 佛弟子？~问事

Dari arsip percakapan:

[13:35, 10/4/2018] lotuschef: ya. this is truly very true about Wenshi
translated: from GM's right hand `~ [ wenshi wenshi still wenshi ]
 then left hand [ask more become more n more problem]
then the top line [ lo li lo so best don't wenshi]
Lotuschef: Ya. Betapa benarnya perihal Wenshi (konsultasi masalah pribadi).
Terjemahan: Di tangan Mahaguru sebelah kanan [wenshi wenshi masih saja wenshi]
Lalu di tangan sebelah kiri [semakin bertanya malah masalah semakin bertambah]
Dan di baris paling atas [lo li lo lebih baik tidak wenshi]

WY: haha.. xie2 fashi for translate it

lotuschef: GM is also not happy about wenshi at all
Mahaguru juga tidak senang dengan wenshi sama sekali.

CN: 😄 true! Don’t know what to follow up after the wenshi.

HY: 😁👍🙏
lotuschef: ask also no use cos at the end the choice to believe and do is up to self
Bertanya juga tidak ada gunanya karena pada akhirnya pilihan untuk percaya dan menjalankan (solusinya) juga kembali pada diri orang yang bersangkutan.

HY: yes true

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

Perhatikan bahwa Mahaguru menggunakan kata [lo li lo jadi] - yang bagi-Nya berarti, orang-orang yang menanyakan berbagai masalah pribadi ini berisik dan tak ada isinya.

Maksudnya adalah mereka bodoh dan tak tahu apa yang sedang mereka lakukan!

Hahaha!
Sungguh menyia-nyiakan waktu Mahaguru yang berharga bersama kita bila digunakan oleh orang-orang bodoh demi tujuan egois mereka.

Seperti yang kukatakan: Mengapa bertanya? Sungguhkah ada keperluan penting untuk bertanya?
Bila kamu adalah seorang murid Mahaguru Lu dan telah bersarana: Bertanya perihal kesejahteraan atau masalah pribadi berarti kamu belum Setia kepada janjimu saat bersarana, dan juga tidak melatih Buddha Dharma sama sekali!

Beberapa minggu lalu, saat di Jakarta dan makan di sebuah restoran Jepang ~ seorang wanita melihatku dan menangkupkan kedua tangannya serta membungkukkan badannya untuk menghormatiku. Ia duduk di meja sebelah dan menghadap ke arahku.
Ia duduk bersama seorang anak perempuan dan kemudian seorang pria berbadan besar bergabung di meja tersebut.
Si anak dan pria besar kemudian keluar terlebih dahulu dan kemudian barulah si wanita ini.
Aku meminta teman untuk memanggilnya kembali.
Saat ia duduk di hadapanku, kuberitahu dia supaya tidak terlibat di dalam argumen apapun juga atau ia akan kena pukul. Cukup diam saja.
Ia juga bilang kalau ia bisa menjapa da-bei zhou (maha karuna dharani) dan sutra hati.
Kuberitahu dia agar menjapa sutra hati dan mengikuti kata demi kata saat menjapanya, sehingga ia menjadi tenang dan bisa melepaskan segala kekuatiran dan ketidakbahagiaan.
Kemudian aku memberkatinya dengan liontin sariraku.

Sepertinya ia memberitahu teman-temanku dalam Bahasa Indonesia bahwa suaminya mudah marah dan punya perangai buruk.

AH! Tak salah lagi karena aku melihatnya ditinju secara brutal oleh suaminya yang pemarah dan berbadan besar! Wanita ini berbadan kurus dan suaminya dua kali lebih besar darinya!

Jadi? Bila kamu punya jodoh Buddha, PERTOLONGAN bisa Muncul dalam segala Bentuk!

Hahaha!

Aku membantu mereka yang HANYA diletakkan di hadapanku oleh Mahaguru Lu!

Jadi jangan buang-buang waktumu dan waktuku juga, bila kamu tidak tulus bersadhana dan memperbaiki hidupmu dan sesamamu!

Keponakan tetanggaku bertahun-tahun lalu mengatakan sesuatu hal kepadaku ~
Dari Julius Caesar ~ "Et tu, Brute?-- Then fall, Caesar!"
Dia bilang bahwa di dalam ujian GCE O, seseorang menuliskan: Aku juga Brutus?
Hahaha!
Artinya sebenarnya adalah ~ Bahkan kamu juga, Brutus? - Saat Caesar jatuh setelah Brutus, tangan kanannya kepercayaannya, juga turut menusuknya!

Apakah kamu salah satu dari orang-orang bodoh yang tak memperhatikan gurumu di dalam kelas dan membuat dirimu sendiri terbunuh di saat ujian?

Saat Langit Menginginkan Kematiannya, Maka Akan Membuatnya Gila Terlebih Dahulu [天欲其亡，必令其狂]

Ditulis oleh Lotuschef – 18 Juli 2018
Diterjemahkan oleh Lotus Nino
Sumber: [天欲其亡，必令其狂]～ When Heaven wants it's demise, ensure it goes crazy first

老子道德经说：Mengutip Dao De Jing dari Laozi:
［天欲救之 以慈卫之 天欲灭之 以狂予之］
Saat Langit ingin menyelamatkannya, maka akan menggunakan Metta (Welas Asih) untuk melindunginya.
Saat Langit ingin membinasakannya, maka akan menggunakan kegilaan sebagai pemberiannya.

古語有云：「天欲其亡，必令其狂」；
西方的《聖經•舊約》有「驕傲在敗壞以先；狂心在跌倒之前」；
Di Barat ada [Alkitab Perjanjian Lama] yang mengatakan [Keangkuhan adalah awal sebelum kehancuran, Kegilaan adalah awal sebelum kejatuhan];
古希臘作家歐底庇德斯說「神欲使之滅亡，必先使之瘋狂」。
Euripides, seorang penulis berkebangsaan Yunani mengatakan: Saat Tuhan menginginkan sesuatu hancur, sudah pasti akan membiarkannya menjadi gila terlebih dahulu.

中西方未曾謀面的先哲，不約而同地說出同樣的話語，著實讓人震驚。

老子道德经说：Mengutip DaoDe Jing dari Laozi:
第七十三章  Bab 73
1 勇于敢则杀﹐勇于不敢则活。此两者﹐或利或害。
2 天之所恶﹐孰知其故﹖
3 天之道﹐不争而善胜﹐不言而善应﹐不召而自来﹐繟然而 善谋。
Jalan Langit dicapai tanpa konflik, menanggapi tanpa kata-kata, mewujud tanpa pengundangan, merencanakan dengan tenang dan pasti berhasil saat dilaksanakan.
4 天网恢恢﹐疏而不失。

第八十一章 Bab 81
1 信言不美﹐美言不信。
2 善者不辩﹐辩者不善。
3 知者不博﹐博者不知。
4 圣人不积﹐既以为人己愈有﹐既以与人己愈多。
5 天之道﹐利而不害。圣人之道﹐为而不争。
Jalan Langit memberikan manfaat, bukan kerugian. Jalan Suciwan terlaksana tanpa konflik.

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

Hahaha!
Teman-temanku yang terkasih, bila kamu melihat apa yang terjadi dari sejak awal kisah tuduhan “Meninggalkan TBS” yang diprakarsai oleh sang mantan penerus - semuanya adalah seperti yang Mahaguru Laozi katakan!

Ya! Seseorang yang dipenuhi dengan Racun Ego dan Keserakahan, akan menjadi gila dalam proses memuaskan keinginan dan khayalannya, dan tentunya, akan berakhir dengan kejatuhan atau kematiannya!

Kawan-kawan sekalian,
Jalan Langit menjadi relevan bagi mereka para murid yang tulus mempelajari Buddha Dharma.

Jangan buang-buang waktumu mengejar hal-hal yang tidak berguna, nikmatilah apa yang Mahaguru Laozi ajarkan!

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

Notice that GM used [lo li lo so] - which means to him, these people that wenshi are noisy and have no substance.

That is they are ignorant and don't know what they are doing!

Hahaha! 

Its truly a waste of GM's precious time with us to be utilized by ignorants for their own selfish purposes.

As I said: Why ask? Is there real need to ask? 

If you are a disciple of GM Lu and has taken refuge: Asking about personal matters or welfare means you have not been True to your refuge vows and also not cultivating Buddha dharma at all!

Few weeks ago, when in Jakarta and dining at a Japanese restaurant ~ this lady sighted me and put her palms together and bow to me. She is siting at the next table and facing me.

She has a young lady with her and later they were joined by a big size old man.

The young lady and man walked out first and this lady followed.

I asked a companion to go ask her to come back.

With her seated opposite me, I told her that she should not get involve into any arguments else she will be beaten. Just need to stay silent.

Also she said she knows how to chant da-bei zhou and heart sutra.

I told her to chant heart sutra and follow each word as she chants, to calm and let go unhappiness or worries.

I blessed her with my sarira pendant. 

It seems she told my companions in Bahasa that her spouse has been irritable and bad tempered. 

AH! So I sighted her being punch brutally is going to happen from her irritable and humongous spouse！ This lady is slim or you can say thin and the spouse is twice her size!

Well? If you have Buddha affinity, HELP can Appear in any Form!

Hahaha!

I help those that GM Lu places in front of me ONLY!

So don't waste your time and mine as well, if you are not sincere in cultivation and making a better life for self as well as those around you!

This is what a neighbor's niece told me years ago ~

From Julius Caesar ~ Et Tu Brute?  Then Fall Caesar

She said in the GCE O exams, someone wrote: Me too Brutus? 

Hahaha! 

It means ~ Even you or You too, Brutus?  - as Caesar falls after Brutus his closest ally also stab him!

Are you one of these ignorants that don't pay attention to your teacher in class and killed yourself in examinations?
