25 June 2015 – Lotuschef in Fun Chat
Terjemahan Indonesia: Lotuschef dalam Obrolan Seru / 25 Juni 2015
CHAT:
Lotuschef Lama: GC not attending?
G, when back in sg?
CT: GC the head of the pack is earning money to feed us!!!
wow we can have taiji n shaolin 1 finger zen👍👍👍 (Thumbs up)
GC, tell your clients u have an urgent meeting this Saturday & you have to return back to SG!
Lotuschef Lama: at a certain time in our career life, WORK takes on a new meaning. the babies we have nurtured, just like songs we have composed, becomes masterpieces, n we just sit back, relax and enjoy the playback. this is very similar to what GC does. earning money to feed the pack?
hahaha! this mindset too stressful to contemplate :) :) :)
GC: Wah...so cheem PY😜 (Bat eye and stick out tongue)
Lotuschef Lama: Hehe! Buddha has infinite wisdom. so we need to look at things different to be able to leave suffering n attain happiness. that's one major teaching!😄😄😄
And the next is to control one's own destiny! Hahaha!
everything is manifestation of one's own mind.

Pure or impure; to do or not to do !
sermon over! 😍😍😍
CS: I thgt destiny is predestined by God.
LW: I rmb even in sch, PY was full of wisdom n Buddhism teaching.
Lotuschef Lama: Hahaha! can you reach God?
religion is a state of mind
the concepts taught or shared are for each individual to use for own benefit n in a larger version to benefit all. that's what charity is about.
you help out at Buddhist temple or church or homeless shelter, to ease suffering n bring happiness to people you meet.
LW: That's true.
Lotuschef Lama: Jesus said: good deeds done by right hand don't let your left hand know.
Means do liao n don't brag n don't ever think of merits or returns.
Hehe! KJ said your helping out will bring you blessing!

not really true if u do with that in mind! 😜 (Wink eye)
Hehe! giving sermons liao! best stop! 😘😘😘 ( Blow kisses)
LW: I'm now a baptised Catholic but I'm gg to help my BIL in his temple this wkend. They're hvg some kind of celebration n needs helping hands in e kitchen. I don't c anythg wrong, so volunteered my svc. Not for blessing or reward....
CS: Catholic faith is inclusive. All are our bros and sisters. "As long as you do to the least of your bros and sis, you are doing it unto me"
Lotuschef Lama: Ya. same concept of equality. we all have buddha nature or god's nature. thus we are all the same. whether u can dig this inherent nature out n use it all dependent on Self
CS: Catholicism is about faith in God Almighty not a religion. The Almighty yet Loving and merciful Father, wanting to have a relationship with us and thus we are called to also communion with others. Hope I got that right!
Lotuschef Lama: Hahaha! All teachings and rules or disciplines are guides to help each individual. the operative is Not to hurt anyone. that includes self:):) :)
in Buddhism there's something call Middle path. there's no right or wrong nor good n bad. this is Zen Buddhism.
Lotuschef Lama: CS, why does God wants to have a relationship with all of us? think on this! what are you stating? 😄:) :) :)
O! the Indian god , Brahma, is the creator n said to be Christian god n Allah too.
CS: Well my dear....I can explain. But to type on this little hand gadget is going to take quite a lot of time . Wait ah...Saturday....will try my best to explain.

經得起磨打 Able to Withstand Pounding
The following is part of the brief summary of GM Lu's speech by a certain VM.
Extracted, is a story that GM Lu shared.
蓮生法王繼續講授「大圓滿法」
http://tbsn.org/chinese3/news.php?cid=38&csid=8&id=3593
有一個故事是這樣的：
同樣是一塊木頭一棵樹，一半雕成一尊佛，一半做成馬桶的蓋子，
這馬桶很不服的問佛陀，為什麼大家都坐在我身上卻去禮拜佛，
From the same tree and its wood, half was carved into a statue of Buddha and the other as WC cover,
WC cover felt unjust and asked the Buddha, Why everyone sit on my body but pay homage to the Buddha,
佛陀說：因為做馬桶蓋很容易，但雕一尊佛卻要經過千刀萬塑，一筆一刀慢慢刻出來。
Buddha said: Because WC cover is easy to make, but carving a statue of Buddha need to go through thousand cuts and ten thousand moulding, everyone stroke and cut is done slowly.
所以我們要經得起磨打，耐得住寂寞，扛得起責任，肩負如來的使命，這樣出家才有價值，要不然只是外相，本來出家前煩惱少，出家後反而煩惱多，這樣是不對的。

所以我們要經得起磨打，耐得住寂寞，扛得起責任，肩負如來的使命，這樣出家才有價值，要不然只是外相，本來出家前煩惱少，出家後反而煩惱多，這樣是不對的。
Therefore we need to be able to withstand pounding, persevere through loneliness, able to lift burden of responsibilities, shoulder directives of Buddha, Ordained this way then have worth or value, else is only external form or appearance only, originally has less worries/problems before ordination to be a monk/nun, however after ordination the opposite occurred in increase of worries, this is not right.

Few days ago, during a chat with GM Lu, Visions of contents from lotuschef.blogspot.com flashed by.
Temple building?
Hahaha!
This blogspot was set up end October 2010, almost 5 years ago!
Unbeknown to us who manned it, it has developed into a Virtual Temple, sharing almost all One's needs to cultivate from start to "finish"!
Sometime in between, a minor disruption caused by the fellow student who gifted us with the domain lotuschef.org, and then shut it down abruptly, we lost photos but not text of articles within that period.
Also the missiles from TBS' core, and its lackeys, continue to pound at Lotuschef with lots of false and frivolous allegations or accusations!
Hehe!
Like the statue of Buddha, we survived!
To those that still deluded about your successes in pounding us and exterminating us, or Lotuschef, time to wake up.
Lotuschef and Pure Karma has set up a Virtual Temple, strong enough to withstand pounding and 'distancing'!
Remember the article in this blog about "GM's Secret Army"?
Never never ever forget that "A True Buddha Knows Best"!
Lotuschef and Pure Karma hereby give sincere thanks to Core and all its lackeys, for helping us stay strong and also helped us lessen the insincere crowd from wasting our precious time!
Merci Beaucoup!
Cheers all
