天上聖母 Holy Mother of the Heavenly Realm

Selective Summary Translation to English by Lotuschef

【天上聖母 心咒】：「嗡。阿利也。蘇利哆。陀密。梭哈。」

【天上聖母法相 簡介】「天上聖母」頭戴通天冠，身著霞披，雙手當胸合執青玉圭笏，或右手持如意，左手置膝（或椅臂）上，慈祥端嚴。

【蓮生活佛 盧勝彥法王寶貴法語開示－－天上聖母的偉大來歷及成就】
天上聖母，又稱「媽祖」，能出陽神，四處救人，且收伏二妖「千里眼、順風耳」，成為副將；顯異能，在海域救蒼生。
Also know as [Ma Zu], able to project Yang-spirit to save people everywhere, also suppressed 2 demon [clairvoyance eye, Omniscient ear] to become her deputy generals; exhibit unusual abilities to save people at sea.

「天上聖母」媽祖的由來：中國福建蒲田的湄洲有一林姓的家族，這家族有一代做了很多的善事，他們經常在饑荒的時候供養饑民。其中，有一個修道的修行人，常常去那裡接受供養，如此連續三年。之後經由這位修道人指點林家風水，世世代代都是姓林的考取進士、舉人，其中就出了「女聖人」，就是林默娘。

林默娘長大以後，遇到一個修行人，叫作「玄通道長」，「玄通道長」將道家珍貴的法──「九轉玄功法」傳給林默娘。林默娘在修行有成就以後，能夠出陽神，並與觀世音菩薩、瑤池金母結緣。

瑤池金母接引祂見玉皇大帝，被封為「天后──天上聖母」，「天后娘娘妙行玉女」，就是「媽祖」，也就是天上聖母。

為什麼叫「默」呢？因為她從來不講話，她小的時候，從來不開口說話，所以才稱為「默」。

很喜歡說話的人，大部分講的是無聊的話，騙人的話，還是綺語、惡語、講八卦，很容易犯口業。

Those that like to talk are mostly speaking frivolous, untrue, weird, evil, gossip, easy to breach Speech Karma.

所以，林默娘的「默」字，非常了得，她沉默，就不犯口業，「默」，就是清淨。
Maintaining [Silence] is Purity.

「天上聖母」的來歷不簡單，原來是「彌勒菩薩」的「兜率天」下降到人間來。Originated from Maitreya Boddhisattva's Tusita Heaven.

天上聖母不只是神明而已，不是只是民間信仰而已，祂等同菩薩。

「媽祖菩薩」所顯現的神蹟很多，祂是「水域之神」，凡有水的地方，都屬祂的管轄，所以叫作「水域之神」，地位非常崇高，天上聖母也有很多的財富。

中國有三大聖人，「文聖人」，就是「孔子」，「武聖人」就是「關公」，「女聖人」就是天上聖母。
In China, the 3 saints are [Literate Saint] - Confucius; [Martial Saint] is Guan Yu; and [Female Saint] is Holy Mother of Heavenly Realm.

「天上聖母妙行玉女」顯化在中國及台灣，甚至傳遍世界各地，不但成為台灣的全民信仰，也成為世界各地信徒恭敬的一位大菩薩。

密宗裡面沒有「天上聖母本尊法」的唸誦，但在台灣「天上聖母唸誦法」，就是起源於《真佛宗》。

「天上聖母」雖然是民間的信仰，其實祂是菩薩，是很偉大的，所以我們很尊敬天上聖母。
在台中有旱溪媽祖，在台中市成功路的萬春宮也有媽祖。以前我（蓮生活佛 盧勝彥）在測量連當學生的時候，經過那裡有去參拜過。
蓮生活佛 盧勝彥曾在高雄從大林再進去的鳳鼻頭測量時，在海邊看到天上聖母，此段真實見記錄於盧勝彥文集第16冊【靈機神算漫談】：

From GM's Book No. 16 [Tales of Divine Predictions]

那時正當我（蓮生活佛 盧勝彥）準備離開海邊的時候，卻發覺海面上有一盞燈搖曳著，那盞燈忽明忽滅，忽而東飄，忽而西飄。接近的時候，我看到燈後有一抬神轎，轎前有二員副將，副將踏波而行。我看到神轎上頭寫幾行字：「鳳林宮天上聖母」。神轎和神將顯現了一會兒，不多時就悄無聲息的不見了。
第二天，我問當地的人：「這附近可有一座鳳林宮？」那人說：「有啊！是村子裡面的媽祖廟。」在鳳林宮，我點線香，朝禮天上聖母完畢，聖母道：「眼前信士，你已獲證六甲神靈聽音術了嗎？」
「正是，我向菩薩問道而來。」
「欲問何道？」
我答：「養生之道。」

I (GM Lu) asked: Path of nurturing life.

天上聖母媽祖答曰：「就以飲食來說吧！五味就是鹹苦酸辛甘，這五味就是調劑陰陽之氣，變成天地玄功的秘方，是日常生活不可少的，然而要有節制，才能有益而無害，若無節制，則傷五行，必然生病。

Holy mother of Heavenly Realm, Ma Zu replied: Just talk about Eating and Drinking! The 5 taste of saltish bitter sour pungent sweet, are to adjust and balance Yin & Yang Qi, becoming Heaven and Earth profound secret formula, a necessity of daily life, but must have control then can be beneficial and not harm, if no control then hurt 5 elements and will surely get sick.

五味若少則養命，多則殞身。上古之人，火齊未興，則享高壽。燧人氏開火食之首，至今人多夭折之患。人若貪著雜食，必養六情，六情生，則靈根必滅。」

「多謝聖母教誨。」我恭謹的道謝。

聖母又說：「今人談養生之道，差矣！現今男男女女，生於末劫之時，昏昏迷迷，不遇明師以啟其愚，不親善教以明其性，平日談養生，無非進補，造無量諸罪業，起一些妄想雜念，如此罪業尚不能消除，又何能談到養生？」
「菩薩所言甚是，弟子謹記訓示。」
「對了，未曾問你在何處修道？祇是見你臉上靈光，三光迸現，知你乃修道之士，功德神隨在左右，故而動問。」
「菩薩，弟子蓮生，本信基督，後領瑤池金母法旨，隨三山九侯先生修道，又拜在清真道長門下。今到鳳鼻頭測量，昨天見聖母出巡海面，故今天特來參拜。」
「三山九侯先生？我不知其人。清真道長倒曾耳聞，乃清淨無為之士。如此甚好，甚好。」
「菩薩，三山九侯先生非人，而是一股真靈之氣，我稱之為靈師，乃是無色界天的天仙，未曾受玉帝勅封，故稱三山九侯先生。」
「原來如此，那倒是大大失敬了。蓮生，你若有暇，歡迎你常來玩。」
「謝謝！」
此後，吾家正式供奉瑤池金母天尊時，曾發出「佛牒遍十方」飛符，小港鳳林宮天上聖母亦曾駕臨。此乃鳳林宮天上聖母和我一段相見的因緣了。

普賢菩薩种子字 Samantabhadra's Seed Syllable

     

Samantabhadra's Seed Syllable
copyright Dale Goodyear 2011
d_good_year@hotmail.com
My seed-syllable for Samantabhadra is the first 3 sounds of his name: SAM (pronounced "sum" or
"sung" in Sanskrit, with a short "a" sound)
This is appropriate, for the root sam in Sanskrit means "with , together with , along with , together"--
and as we know, Samantabhadra is the bodhisattva of the Sangha, the Community, and of all
communion between hearts. Samantabhadra brings all of us together, fastens us together with good
will and word and work, bonds us together joyfully heart to heart to establish the Dharma, the Tao, on
earth--to save the earth, and humanity and all life, for the Good Things that Buddhahood has to offer.
In Chinese Seng (Sang in Cantonese) 僧 means "Sangha". (Again, Sanskrit Sam with short "a" and
nasalized "m" will sound like Chinese seng "sung").
What other mystical significance is hidden in these 3 letters, S-A-M? 

Let's briefly leave our Buddhist moorings and go West, to Jewish letter mysticism, where we find that the 3 letters Shin/Sin, Aleph, and  Mem are called the "Mother Letters."


Samantabhadra is essentially Lord of the Yin polarity and current of life, in that he rules the region
called the "Lower Dantian" in Chinese meditation and healing, the Yin portion of the body which
provides the nurturing womb for the evolving self or "soul." He rules Freedom, which is in
-
polarity
to the + polarity of Truth which Manjushri rules in the "Upper Dantian." And Samantabhadra purifies
from Below while Manjushri illumines from Above.
So here is a case where mystics in both East and West have had a similar intuition about sound and
meaning.
The Hebrew letter Sin (and Shin--it has two sounds) represents primordial Fire, Aleph primordial Air,
and Mem primordial Water. In S-A-M, the Fire of Samantabhadra's enlightened Being flows into the
Water, creating Freedom and Joy in the self (or soul), mystically and yogically considered to have an
Air nature.
In Taoist and other yogic traditions, the rainbow-red of Fire meshes with the rainbow-blue of Water
and produces a rainbow-violet (or royal-purple) Steam which sets free our souls and bodies. We can
see the red S and blue M, producing the violet/purple A which represents the Liberated self or soul re-
created, re-conceived and re-birthed by this alchemical steam.
So, SAM is indeed a power-syllable that can help transform us by Samantabhadra's saving power,
expressed so eloquently in his famous "Aspiration" from the Avatamsaka Sutra

普贤菩萨 Samantabhadra

普贤菩萨（梵文：समन्तभद्र Samantabhadra），曾译遍吉菩萨，音译为三曼多跋陀罗，汉传佛教四大菩萨之一。是象征理德、行德的菩萨，同文殊菩萨的智德、正德相对应，是娑婆世界释迦牟尼佛的右、左胁侍，被称为“华严三圣”。

许多日本真言宗人士认为卫护佛门的金刚萨埵是普贤菩萨化身，密教是由金刚萨埵所开创。另一说金刚萨埵为大势至菩萨或其他佛、菩萨所示现。

藏传佛教中的宁玛派认为，普贤菩萨是普贤王佛的报身。

普贤菩萨像，峨眉山

Samantabhadra (Sanskrit, "Universal Worthy"), is a bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism associated with practice andmeditation. 

Together with Gautama Buddha and his fellow bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, he forms the Shakyamuni trinity in Buddhism. 

He is the patron of the Lotus Sutra and, according to the Avatamsaka Sutra, made the ten great vows which are the basis of a bodhisattva. 

In China, Samantabhadra is associated with action, whereas Mañjuśrī is associated with prajñā. 

In Japan, this bodhisattva is often venerated by the Tendai and in Shingon Buddhism, and as the protector of the Lotus Sutra by Nichiren Buddhism. 

In the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, Samantabhadra is also the name of the Adi-Buddha - in indivisible Yab-Yum with his consort, Samantabhadrī.

GM Lu has scheduled abhiseka for this yidam as well as Vajrapani over the next 2 weekends.

Best to do some research before you receive Abhiseka, agree?

Menjapa Mantra Sambil Berjalan Juga Merupakan Zen

Karya tulis Mahaguru Lu: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 182_不可說之說 > 「經行」也是禪
Diterjemahkan ke Bahasa Inggris dengan anotasi oleh Lotuschef – 18 Februari 2016

Sumber: 「經行」也是禪 Chanting Mantra While Walking is Also Zen

蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 182_不可說之說 > 「經行」也是禪


蓮生活佛／文

　　我在「葉子湖」隱居的時候，常常「經行」，一路走，一路念佛持咒。

　　「經行」也是一種禪定。

　　有一回，「經行」經過了草叢區，草叢有很多的野狗，牠們屬於遊蕩的一群。

　　這些狗仔，我稱為狗仔隊，不是很溫順的那一種，有些是大型粗壯的，類似猛犬，雙目露出藍色的凶光，白森森銳利的尖牙，牠們飛奔來，飛奔去。

　　狗凝視我。

　　狗狂吠我。

　　狗欲撲我。

　　狗咬定我。

　　但是，我把心念完全集中在佛菩薩，雙手合掌，腳步也沒有停。

　　就自自然然的從狗仔群中，穿越的走了過去。

　　就算有猛狗用舌頭利齒，嗅嗅我的褲管，也沒有下一步的舉動。

　　多少年來。

　　我在野狗群中走過。

　　沒有被咬過。

　我仰仗的，是我的禪定，我一直在「經行」，禪定也從來不中斷。
Aku mengandalkan meditasi Zen, di mana aku Menjapa Mantra sambil terus Berjalan, meditasi Zen tak pernah berhenti.

　　人們從來也不知道，這是「佛性」在「經行」。是︰
Orang-orang juga tak tahu bahwa hal ini adalah [Kodrat Buddha] yang sedang [Berjalan Sambil Menjapa Mantra. Yang merupakan:

　　願菩提。Bodhicitta Aspirasi.

　　無欲菩提。Bodhicitta Tanpa Hasrat.

　　印菩提。Bodhicitta Mudra.

　　行菩提。Bodhicitta Pelaksanaan.

　　無上菩提。Bodhicitta yang Terunggul.

　　這五種菩提加起來，就是「佛菩提」。
Kelima Bodhi ini digabungkan menjadi [Bodhi Buddha].

　　我這「經行」，可不是普通的禪定，我已經穿越了時空，穿越了諸天，穿越了阿羅漢，穿越了菩薩，自然屬於諸佛的法界。
Proses [Berjalan Sambil Menjapa Mantra]-ku ini bukanlah Meditasi Zen yang umum. Aku telah berjalan melampaui Waktu & Ruang, melewati berbagai Surga, melewati berbagai Arhat, melewati berbagai Bodhisattva, demikianlah secara alami merupakan bagian dari Dharmadhatu para Buddha.

　　我這「經行」是－－ [Berjalan Sambil Menjapa Mantra]-ku ini –

　　棄惡的。Menyingkirkan segala perbuatan jahat.

　　是行善的。Adalah melakukan perbuatan baik.

　　是自覺的。Adalah sadar diri.

　　是利他的。Adalah memberi manfaat bagi para insan.

　　我這「經行」，大家仔細去意會︰一斷一切斷、一行一切行、一位一切位、一修一切修、一證一切證、一顯一切顯、一佛一切佛、一入一切入、一智一切智、一理一切理、一究竟一切究竟、一門一切門、一心一切心、一境一切境。

　我這「經行」，是真如之體也，是唯一無二的，如理虛融，平等無二。

　　解脫而無解脫。

　　菩提而無菩提。

　　我的「經行」，只是在娑婆世界的「月光流域」，或是在「理性與感性」，或是在「惠文公園」，或是在「植物叢園」………。

　　不管在哪裡「經行」，究竟不染於一切相，染無所染，愛無所愛，恚無所恚，痴無所痴，作無所作，取無所取，捨無所捨。
　　我這五年來的「經行」只在「一真地」。

　　有人說︰「盧勝彥是邪！」

　　我說︰「是邪。」

　　有人說︰「盧勝彥是魔！」

　　我說︰「是魔。」

　　有人說︰「盧勝彥是假活佛！」

　　我說︰「是假活佛。」

　　有人說︰「盧勝彥沒有明心見性！」

　　我說︰「是沒有明心見性。」

　　假如大家問我︰「明心見性到底是什麼？」

　　我又答︰「本然。」

　　你說我是瘋子，我就是瘋子。
我是挑糞漢，挑擔糞，給大家喝。
嘻嘻！

Hahaha!
Tahun 1010 – Aku ingat saat sedang berjalan menelusuri jalan-jalan di Hong Kong bersama seorang murid, aku bilang bahwa siapapun bisa berada di dalam kondisi Samadhi bahkan saat sedang berjalan maupun berbicara.

Sepertinya, sebagian dari diri kita selalu berada di dalam Samadhi.

Bila hendak menjapa mantra ataupun sutra sambil menjalankan aktivitas sehari-hari, kamu harus pertama kali memvisualisasikan kehadiran yidam pilihanmu, ia mengisi dirimu dan sekitarmu dengan cahaya berkat!
Semakin banyak dijapa, semakin banyak Berkat Kebajikan Ilahi yang dibagikan!

Sungguhlah ini merupakan penerapan Bodhicitta di segala saat!

Ber-yoga dengan Dewata bisa terjadi bila kamu selalu punya Bodhicitta (Hati Buddha) di segala waktu tanpa terputus.

Maka sebenarnya Buddha Dharma tidaklah sulit bagi mereka yang tulus dan pikirannya selalu penuh dengan welas asih!

Ingatlah saranku ini: Jangan pergi tanpa membawa serta Guru Akarmu!

Selalu “Sertakan” Guru Akar di segala pekerjaan yang kamu lakukan pula!


Salam semuanya.

Hahaha! 

Year 2010 - I remember while walking on the streets in HK with a fellow student, I said that one can be in Samadhi even while walking and talking.

Somehow, a part of us is continuously in Samadhi.

Now chanting mantra or sutra while carrying out daily activities, One must first visualise yidam of choice presence and filling one and all around with light!

The more one chants, the more one shares the goodness of Divine Blessing!

Yes, this is executing Boddhicitta at all times!

Yoga with Divinity is possible when you have Boddhicitta or the Heart of Buddhas with you all the time without break.

Buddha Dharma is really not that difficult to those with sincere and compassionate mindsets! 

Remember my advice: Do not leave home without your Root Guru!

Always "Involve" Root Guru in all your endeavours too!

Cheers all.

為何常『不語』Why Often [No Comment]

Terjemahan Indonesia: Mengapa Sering [Tidak Berkomentar]

Source: 蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 74_無形之通 > 為何常『不語』

Selective Translation into English by Lotuschef

蓮生活佛 > 師尊文集 > 74_無形之通 > 為何常『不語』

對於一些爭辯，我常常保持緘默。
Pertaining to some arguments, I often maintain silence.

對於世人的一些誣陷，一些誤解，一些誹謗，我經常不發一語。
Pertaining to sentient beings' allegations, misunderstandings, slanders, I often do not say a word.

很多人要我裁決一些問題，指示與指導如何做，我也經常默默無語。
Many wanted me to judge some problems, directing and instructing what to do, I also often maintain silence.

很多人要我發出「聲明」或「通告」，我也沒有做。
Many people wanted me to come out with [Declaration] or [Announcement], I also didn't do so.

我常『不語』。不說一句話。
I often [No Comment]. Won't say a word.

為何如此？ 

Why like this?

因為這是「不言而教」，「無言勝有言」，是「潛移默化」。
Because this is [Teaching without speaking], [No speech surpass speech], is [imperceptible influence to influence secretly or silently].

　　每一個星期六，晚上八時，我固定的在雷藏寺講經說法。也曾面對著千萬人的場面開講。這是在美國期間。

　　我亦固定每天清晨，寫一篇文章。

　　「說法」及「文章」，均是「教導」。
[Dharma Speech] & [Written articles] are all [Teachings].

　　我已經說了如此多的話，寫了如此多的文章，假如還有人不明白，我又有何話可說，不如「不發一語」。
I have already spoken so much, written so many articles, if still don't understand, what more can I say, rather [not say anything].

　　開悟的人，明白「自然」的道理，也就喜歡「不言而教」與「潛移默化」，這就變成我處理世事的態度了。
The Enlightened understand the meaning of [Natural], also prefer [To not speak in teaching] and [ Influence imperceptibly to influence secretly or silently], these became my stance in dealing with worldly matters.

　　有人要我寫出：
Some wants me to write:

　　「真佛宗的上師戒律」－－上師的標準規範。
True Buddha School's disciplines for Vajra Masters ---- Up to standard specified criterion.

　　「真佛宗戒律」－－真佛弟子的戒律。
True Buddha School's disciplines - Disciplines for True Buddha School's students.

　　「真佛宗組織條規」－－層層的管制條理。
True Buddha School's organisation rules/regulations - various levels of governing rules.

　　但是，我認為：
But, I considered:

　　我實實在在的不想寫，因為加諸與世人的戒律，實在已經夠多了，人所設定的法律，佛教有形式的條規已經密密麻麻了。

我再寫出「戒律」及「條規」，豈不是令人喘不過氣來嗎？
I truly don't think of writing, because will add to the more than enough and existing countless disciplines on people, those set down laws by people, Buddhism's rules with form already very dense.

If I write more [Disciplines] & [Rules], won't it cause people to suffocate?

　　我想告訴弟子的是：
I would like to tell students these:

　　真佛宗的真正戒律祇有七個字：「順其自然，不妄為。」
True Buddha School's true disciplines has only seven characters: 

[Let all be natural, do not act unscrupulously/mindlessly.]

　　違反戒律就是：「違背自然，太妄為。」
Breach disciplines is: [Violate nature, greatly unscrupulous.]

　　如此而已。
Like this only.

　　這七個字，實在也已經夠多了，算起來，我又多饒舌了一次。
These 7 characters is truly enough, considering this, I again repeat myself.

　　蓮生活佛的常『不語』，是因為「說了也等於白說」，不說反而好。我已經說了很多，再不明白，也沒有辦法。

我對世事已淡然，說與不說，均是一樣。 

Living Buddha Lian Sheng often [No comment], is because [ say already also equal to wasteful speech], better not to speak.

I have already spoken much, still don't understand, also can't be help.

I am indifferent to worldly matters, speak or not, is the same.

　　我明白：
I understand:
　　

要犯戒律的，你去說他，他仍然犯戒律。
Want to breach discipline, you to tell him, he will continue to breach discipline.

不犯戒律的，你不去說，他依然守戒律。
Won't breach discipline, you don't say anything, he still abide discipline.

　　蓮生活佛也不標榜自己是如何的守住戒律，一切的功名也不希罕，心思極為清明，無權也無欲。

　　這「活佛」或「宗主」均可拋棄，如同垃圾。
This [Living Buddha] or [ Sector/School master] all can throw away like garbage.

　　也無偽詐。
Also no falsification.

「真佛宗」可以消失，也可以存在。

存與不存，隨其「任運」。
True Buddha School can disappear, also can exist.

Exist or not, let it [execute at will].

　　我這是「順其自然」，「不妄為」啊！
I am like this [Let all be natural], [do not act unscrupulously/mindlessly]!
　　　　

﹙四﹚

　　當我從圓光中昇起，坐八葉蓮花座，在寶蓋華縵的飛舞之中，我結蓮花童子手印，召示大眾：

　　人們的追逐名利的太過，是「貪念」太過，人們的混亂與衝突，互鬧互爭，是「瞋心」的太過。

人們的巧詐及偽作，是「癡心」的太過。

這「貪」、「瞋」、「癡」果然是三毒啊！

要消解「貪、瞋、癡」，正是佛教的作為。

　　大公無私，是化解「貪」的。
Impartial & selfless, is to resolve [Greed].

　　順其自然，是化解「瞋」的。
Let all be natural, is to resolve [Aversion].

　　無為而為，是化解「癡」的。
Action through Inaction, is to resolve [Ignorance].

　　「大日如來」－－「佛眼佛母」－－「蓮花童子」－－「蓮生活佛」。

常坐蓮花座，放大光明照世間，結真實的印契，莊嚴而無語，祇是在這「爭鬥」的人間，再放一次光明吧了！

• Cannot touch Guru & his possession like cloths or bed and can't assess Guru's cultivation level
• About tibetan king Trisong Deutsen who betrayed Padmasambhava n how his ring activated the red bull spirit to reincarnate as grandson n eliminated buddhism.
• In ancient times, when guru did not instruct student to read a book, reading the book becomes breach of disciplines n must do repentance. Our guru is more liberal.
• About how Atisha & Serlingpa studied each other before accepting each other; therefore have to consider well before refuge as after refuge there are samaya vows.
• Those who care for guru are more meritorious than those who have cultivated well.
• Breaching samaya will land one in vajra hell.
• Always make sure Guru is upon one's crown before giving dharma speeches, else the speech is null & void.
• Those who think they have cultivated well n very intelligent, they are controlled by mara already.

I had a glance that day n didn't bother to read on as they were truly not from Guru....

Hahaha!
Central n YY likes to use his powers to bluff people.
he is covering for his lack of cultivation too....

hahaha!

Based on all these, i can roast in hell lol???

I shared teachings n golden words from other rinpoches too! so I must be hanged?
Buddha didn't make things this way lol
They said so as not to be affected!!!- so no one can cultivate to enlightenment?
without leaping the hindrances along the way, how do one learn n overcome?

Reading the whole thing, u know these are not the words of Guru, or an enlightened one!
Power & Control!
Did I get influenced by YC or even the self-proclaimed good guys?
hahaha! my article about guru putting the poisonous ones by his sides will rub them real raw n enough to kill me!

Am I possessed by the demon?
who cares...

Dear readers, how many times have you heard Guru said: Those who cultivate well are just beside me, whereas those who are physically beside me and don't cultivate well, are truly very far from me.

Guru's statement nullified Statement 7 and 10 above, do you agree?

Guru said he reads copiously as a daily routine too! Will he stops his students from doing the same?

Does refuge in TBS means you get brainwashed and only fed whatever those "acting Guru" deem to put your way? Hahaha! hilarious!
This has similar veins to the Guru has copyrights issue on Buddha Dharma that he shares?


Finally, as there is no video recording of the supposed speech alleged to be Guru's; it is up to Individual to make what you perceive of these statements. ---]

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear all, GM Lu wrote 為何常『不語』and published in early 1988.

Core's Published [It's guru giving the sermon on 22 Sept 2012 after having lunch in Seattle temple.]

Also published the various justification to delist Lotuschef!

All these Core alleged to be GM Lu's statements! 

Hahaha!

Now, Truth is?

GM Lu has already clearly stated that HE does not want to write or set down any disciplines, rules, regulations... at all! 

So taking the date of early 1988 of article 為何常『不語』, and Core's claim on 22 Sept 2012  that GM Lu stated the various disciplines after lunch in Seattle Temple, about the space of 24+ years!

Shouldn't members of Core who are students that are with GM Lu for more than 24 years be aware of Root Guru's stance?

Hahaha! 

So who knows what are disciplines truly for?

Lotuschef, a student since 2008 or Core's members, who are mostly veteran students?

Once again, to "Tok Chef" and associates, Time to wake up now! 

Going against One's Root Guru's statements or falsifying statements in attempt to harm others, you and you alone are responsible for the eventual karmic rebounces! 

Does delisting Lotuschef from your perceived TBS' reverends list help you at all?

O! what great returns in denouncing your lies, from GM Lu, himself! 

Hahaha!

Does Lotuschef need to seek out GM Lu personally to affirmed the delisting or justify anything?

Why was the Link for Discipline Announcement for 22 Sep 2014 inactive or maybe deleted?

And, I just recalled a thick compilation of TBS' rules & regulations that Rev. LL told me to read and follow, sometime in 2010.
It detailed what VMs can do, Reverend can do, various levels of dharma propagators like dharma lecturer, speaker & assistant can do; also chapter's administrator,......
So this one is also fabrication like I thought all along!

I remember telling a fellow student that why certain rituals specified that only VMs can do?
For example: Refuge abhiseka on behalf of Root Guru; Wenshi;....
The reason for my point of view: Who are you when you yoga with Root Guru, White Padmakumara? :)

A great fabrication by Sentient Minded beings in attempt to segregate and control others with their mortals' minds to the detriment of others!

Cheers all.

故友 Old Friend

Yesterday, while in meditation, an old friend appeared in my vision.

Ah! He's the son of a business associate of my late father.

I met him in HK sometime in late 1978, on a business trip with my mom.
Then he came over to Singapore and stay for about half a month.
My eldest brother and myself entertained him.

We got along pretty well as he is about our age, I think about 3 years older than me and one year older than my brother.

I still remember his recounting how he swam across from mainland China to Hong Kong.

He said he had lots of ginger tied around his waist to chew on to keep warm.

I remembered that he weren't taught certain topics in Mathematics like "squares and squares root" and etc.
So even the knowledge imparted differs from class to class.
This class system is based on Red & Black with different grades or levels dependent on one's ancestral wealth level. The Wealthier they are previously, the lower their class levels. Thus giving the poor population an advantage over the previously wealthy.

Hahaha!

I was explaining the symbols on the electronic calculator to him and their usages!

I knew that he took over management of his dad's businesses soon after his visit to Singapore.

O! It seems that I was real blur!

He came to Singapore to court me! :)

I was told that by my mom, as she was asked by a mutual business associate that wanted to match make.

He was told that I have a steady boy friend but he said he still want to try.

Years later, when my younger sister started a business in the same line as my dad's, this friend had married his clerical assistant and she was not cooperative and reluctant to do business with my sister!

Then someone told her that the one that her spouse went to Singapore to court is the older sister, The Big Ms Poon - 潘大小姐, and not Second Ms Poon -  潘二小姐.

Now, back to the vision.
Why did this old friend appeared?

I asked GM Lu and he said to wait and see.

In the vision, this friend don't look sickly or unhappy.

So lets wait for further visions.


Cheers all
