27 November 2010 - GM's Secret Army

Today, GM said he will enter our dreams & teach us.
This is assurance enough to all that when you are ready, GM will come teach you where ever you are.
Who knows you might be the one that GM has been teaching & when he needs you, he will sure look for you.
We are all his Secret Army, always ready to go into service, correct? Haha.

We all know that All Buddhas & Bodhisattvas & their affiliates are INFINITELY WISE & COMPASSIONATE.
We are all ONE in doing our utmost for all sentient beings. This we keep constantly in mind & live happily.

Just watch & listen to GM with your heart. You find life is truly very interesting & how pointless it is to vie for things that will not last. Do not go for the obvious but look deeper.
Buddha teaches Non Attachment & etc. lets all try & use them when listening & watching GM's spreading Dharma.
I always enjoyed myself fully when watching GM's speeches. Hope you all do too.

25 November 2010 - It's karma again

The King of XX has many offspring. They all vie for the Throne.
Everyday the King has to ward off many assassination attempts from some of these offspring.
The wise & compassionate King finally appoints the most aggressive one amongst them Crown Prince, which is heir to the throne.

Little did the Heir Apparent knows that from that day on, he the Heir Apparent, becomes the target of various assassination plot. Gasping his last breath, the Heir Apparent finally realized that what he did to his sire, returns to him many fold.

All that Glitters is Not Gold, How often have you heard that told?

27 November 2010 - Eventful Day

1. Good news. We have settled the printing of bilingual cultivation booklet for Vajrasattva & True Buddha Repentance & the price is well within our budget. Should be ready to share with all sometime before Chinese New Year. Our heartfelt thanks to Grand Master, Our beloved Root Guru, for guiding us all the way.

2. Yet another altar where all Deities had left. My humble suggestion to all - please do not accept statues from others when you don't know the source they come from. In fact, just one of GM is enough. 
The more you have the more complicating it becomes.

3. Please listen to GM's speech again & again. Then I suggest you chant Heart Sutra. 

4. After hearing GM's speech, the words of Cantopop song "Shanghai Beach" 上海滩 by Frances Yip keep floating around me. Turbulence, unrest, changes, heightened emotions, joy, success, undercurrent, ..... Truly interesting. Haha!

5. Glad to hear that the shelved Indonesian event will materialize. Please take a minute to say THANK YOU to our Root Guru. It cost him much. 

6. Everything comes with a Price. One has to give up something of similar or higher value in exchange for something one need.

Much to ponder? Relax & let things flow.

22 November 2010 - The Lion's Secret Army

GM's Dharma Speech.

4 September 2010 - Seattle.
GM said what the Lion does, rabbits should not mimic.
When the Lion leaps among cliff peaks, Rabbits should not follow else it will be Fatal for them.

GM also said he will go to Indonesia for a Kalachakra Ceremony & he will also teach Qunta (Bright Dots) in detail. The last update was because of certain administrative disagreement, this event is indefinitely postponed or in other words, SHELVED.

17 October 2010 - Sydney.
GM renewed his affirmation for the Indonesian Ceremony & the teachings of Qunta cultivation.

20 November 2010 - Taiwan.
Listen carefully & repeatedly to this speech especially the opening part.
Do you agree that the Lion Has Awakened?

Monks & nuns do not want to be involve in daily administration & financial issues. GM said he solely wants to spread Dharma & help all sentient beings as best as he could.
GM also urges those not ordinated members of TBS or those with 'hair' to not order & control the monks & nuns but treat them with utmost respect as in Buddist ordinance. These were repeated many times last year in Seattle during Saturday & Sunday group cultivation from October.

Most have forgottten that our GM is a Living Buddha. Whatever we do, he knows.
I noticed bodyguards in Melbourne, I wondered who so worried for GM to hire them.
How can one harm a Living Buddha?
Buddha & GM teach us to make others happy even to the detriment of self.
The current scenario seems to leave the Lion with no choice but to Roar & act.

Read the 'Sword of the Yogi' if possible again. Retrack GM's tour of Taiwan, Hongkong & etc. What he did most was "huan jing fa" (cleansing or purify method). To save those disciples that had dropped into the 3 Lower Realms.

GM liken the current scene as similar to the army & then he said after appointing new vajra masters & tutor that there is more because he is currently watching many. How big is this secret 'army'?

Last year in Seattle, he said in Rainbow Temple that the Universe is full of Lianhua Tongzi. Many experienced GM touching their heads Chinese New Year Eve at approximately the same time.
GM also talked about Star-Light Clone Body which enable him to be many places at one time.

Remember GM appoints Vajra master Lian Dian? He spends the past 2 decades teaching her somewhere.
When we are ready to learn, GM will come & teach us. There's no need to be in his physical presence.

Please read the Sword of the Yogi & Foot Prints on the Seashore. GM said many are accumulating 'territories' to make themselves 'Kings'. He is trying to tell them to stop doing such futile things.
The requirements to be a True Yogi all listed in Sword of Yogi. Which is good for us to measure ourselves frequently.
Haha! Have I succeeded in talking you, the reader, to read the above 2 books by GM?
That is if you haven't done so already. But worth reading again?

24 November 2010 - Universal Power

Haha! It is 4.08am & I am full of energy & wide awake!
Why? Universal Power!

I led True Buddha Repentance session last night from 8pm.
Every time I do True Buddha Repentance or some other repentance prayers, I am so charged that I can't sleep till well after 9am the next morning.
Another one is chanting High King Avalokitesvara Sutra more than 20 times a day at one go.
There are more such 'charger' which GM has given to us.

The similar factor is invoking the Buddhas; Bodhisattvas; Dharma Protectors;.....to empower us with 'Light' (form of energy) & at the same time cleanse our negative karma leaving us crystal-clear & shining. The by-product being Energy that keeps us vitalize.

Recently I shared in this blogspot video of 12 October 2010 cultivation & it consisted of origin of Light, characteristic of Light, drawing & using this Light.
Light energy is Power we can draw from the Universe as taught by GM.
It is not like what we watch from Star Wars, whereby AA beams a ray of white light at his opponent & opponent in turn 'returns fire' with red light & etc.
Haha. Hope you enjoyed yourself reading this article.

Remember the Buddhas & etc are Compassionate & Wise in nature & will not harm. So Universal Power is not to be used to harm or in other words cause Unhappiness.
Buddha seeks path to Happiness for all. Thus, the path to enlightenment is to follow Buddha's path & make all happy.

Let us all fall in-step with GM & discover the Universe!
