Lesson 8/11/09

Went to class early as I was having a be healed session at 3pm. Not in a good state of health.
Uncle Sim and Bro Keagan was healing me. Uncle Sim did the finger poking stance.
At certain points it was quite painful, it was the flesh painful not the problem area painful.
Use a lot of strength to poke me, trying hard to prevent myself from screaming.
At a certain point, where he poked my stomach area, got this puking sensation then quickly
went to puke at the sink.
After the session, had a talk with the both of them.
Bro Keagen listed that my shoulder and knee not good, yes, working environment contributed it.
Uncle Sim listed that my upper back and head not good, having headache and use a lot strength to
cook these couple of busy days resulted in the problems in my upper back and shoulders.
Took a break before going back to class.

Did our GYFM which we haven’t been doing together for quite sometime.
Hands were shaking, after which was told by M.R to stand up and prepare for healing DG.
M.R gave me the red paper fan, was told to try to relax the body and visualize JiGonG.
Body twisting and was moving around the class. Moved to Sis Valerie doing some fanning on her.
Then moved away towards bro Carlos and Vicki, don’t know did what movement then slowly went
back to Sis Valerie again. It wasn’t easy to move around the class because of space constraint,
mind was thinking if I am going to fall onto somebody, not a good DG as I wasn’t relaxed as much
as I could have. The FEAR of falling onto someone and crushing onto the altar kept flashing
in my mind. Lastly moved to Bro James, did some movement with the bottom tip of the fan on him.
Before the class ended, M.R talked on topic about “死后” which can be found at LZT website,
it was quite enlightening to know and thanks to Sis 喜萱 for the effort to note down the details.
Was pointed by MR I was having the 灵逼体, whereas the 灵 is in a position stronger than the body
which I am having now causing pain here headache there.

DG at the playground was to come after dinner.
Each were told to do their stuffs, I was there trying to do but frankly speaking wasn’t good.
M.R came over, told me to try to have the JiGonG “精神”, somewhat like happy and laughing
and jumping around. Wasn’t sure of JiGonG’s pattern of movement. Tried again, it was better this time
round, had the feeling that my right hand was holding on to a fan and having the fanning movement
at the same time but that was it, still not there. Bro Richard came over, told me try to
visualize JiGonG and don’t think about anything else, don’t even think how JiGonG’s movement is.
Because I was trying hard to figure out how JiGonG’s movement is that I wasn’t doing a good DG.
So I took Bro Richard tip and tried. This time it was much better, had this drunken movement, legs
wobbling and twisting and turning, my legs muscle was very aching that I could only last a while.
Was pulling wide smiles thoughout the DG simliar to JiGonG but not to the extent of laughing.
My right hand again was holding onto a fan maybe, had this fanning movement. It’s just so coincidental
that when I do my “静坐” at home, I often position at a spot facing JiGonG.
Had a group DG together which was quite special to see so many ppl doing together especially the
part where all of them moved towards a sis to heal her. Power!

Went home, legs and hands all aching.
Time to build up some stamina through much needed exercising.
!!!! 大家加油 !!!!

Question:
For 灵逼体 , for my case does doing more ” 静坐 ” solve part of my problem ?
Thanks

~ Healing Session & Playground Session ~

~ Healing Session ~

Started the day by recap of the healing procedure with Shirley, Cheryl and Kelvin.
Was selected to do healing for Bro keagan as he did the healing session earlier so
its time for himself to be healed. Having just been briefed about the healing procedure,
everything went quite smoothly.

Experiences and thoughts of the healing Process.
Patient : Keagan
Last time when I did my scanning, my hands would usually be normally have no feel, this
time round, when I scan, my hands would like have a mini circular movement which tends
to make me think it was the problem areas. I guess with more practice, I hope to differentiate
the 2 types of movement that I am encountering. As usual, my hands would shake when I am
at a problem area. For Bro Keagan’s case, it was the right shoulder, his lower back and left Knee.
His left knee was covered by his left hand so wasn’t sure if it was his hand or his knee.

Always have to do a double or more scan to confirm that the areas are correct.
During the clearing of the negative energy, almost threw it at Sis Valerie, so the need to see
properly if it’s clear to do so.
During the “灵冲” , my first time that I feel lots of energy passing through my crown and flowing
into Bro keagan’s body, body felt drained after that procedure.
The OMPH chanting towards Bro Keegan, felt it was pretty well done. Just focus my intention on
him for GYPS to bless him well.

End of the healing, had a chat with Bro keagan to regards to his problems, got it right on his
knee and lower back but he wasn’t sure of his right shoulder problem. Told me his body felt
warm during the session.

Questions:

1) Example with the case above, if I couldn’t make sure if it was the knee or hand, can I move the
hand or any parts of the body during a healing process ? Or maybe when the patient finds that
sit position or lying position cannot maintain, can I ask them to change position halfway through ?

2) If the answer is yes , that means I can also move to do hands blessing to make the palm face up ,
or ask the patient to straighten his/her legs so that I can do a feet blessing if the patient is
in sitting position, right ?

3) The area I pointed out, the patient says there’s no problem in the area but my scans is
correctly done, can I say it’s a future problem or something else which the patient doesn’t know and
doesn’t feel the pain, or it’s a mistake feel on my part ?

~ Playground ~

It has been quite sometime since I last visited the ground.
Started my DG slowly , hands started swaying and moving around. Head was facing up and
slowly building up to a point where I started spinning , there was like a sudden surge that’s pulling
me to do a spin. Spinning one spot is OK but it’s the moving/running spinning which is terrible.
Though I open my eyes, can’t really see where I was spinning to , almost like a runaway boulder
awaiting to crush someone. Which I almost did to Sis Shirley. Happened for almost 2 time,
started to “merlion” then no choice got to stop.

After which , M.R came forward to me to relax and visualize myself doing some gongfu stance.
This time round, the feel was different. The energy feel was focus into both of my hands.
My hands started hitting forward in all direction, then I started to walk. The pace picked
up gradually, was hitting faster and harder and closed to running till a point my body cannot
take it, fell to the ground. Relax for a while before I tried a 2nd time, my head started facing up
was like moving around in a all directions while hands swaying/hitting stance. This time round, the
stance was closed to a drunken fist stance which later M.R told, highlighted to my “Ma-Bo” state
at times. This DG is really a tough workout, next day every joints aching. It’s about time to exercise,
to be able to do a better DG in future.

From what MR said during the session, why the group of us wasn’t able to do a gongfu stance
because we couldn’t think out-of-the-box which is why we were stuck in this state for quite
sometime except for bros Dom, Carlos , Eugene. So he had no choice but to hint/show us the
stance. What we supposed to figure out ourselves might take 10 years was shown/hinted to us
that night. So was thinking/wondering if MR would kanna scolding by his “护法”,which was
confirmed by MR when we were speaking the other day.
Not good at words and not being too “三脚ing”(Hokkien Version) but appreciate it. Thank You, hope
the whole class can continue to work hard from where we left off.

Healing session

Yesterday, M.R did a recap of the healing session.
Was paired up with Andrew and did my healing on him.
It have been quite sometime since I last did a healing session, a bit rusty, I needed to
refer to the notes to make sure I did not leave out any steps. So the need to practice more
to be more confident.

Some of the experiences during the healing session.
The healing session had a better feel this time round.
Once started, had pressure at 3rd and crown. Inner Body like have this spinning feel, felt like
puking when started to scan his legs, I don’t know if it’s my problem. My hands would shake
around his knee area and chest area, so they are the problem areas. When doing the “灵冲”, the
finger feel was good, felt I managed to do a good “灵冲”.
After completing the Healing, talked to Andrew about it. Told me chest area was highlighted got
problem, knee maybe he drive too much.

Thanks Val for the muffins !

Question to M.R
I have this feel like my inner body turning inside if I relax, so I should do more DG, right ?
If I were to do DG, would a Sit down DG help this case ?
For the OMPH, how long should we spend on chanting on the patient ? Will 10 mins be enough ?
This may sound weird, if I know this person has heart problem, is it possible to heal the person
other problem area like maybe hands or legs problem and just avoid the heart ?

财富 － 从拥有到”用有”

Another article published today, written by Master Venerable Xing Yun.
Again , translate some in English and some left in Mandarin.

There was once a guy who saved a lot of gold bars. He hid it in his house basement for many years.
He didn’t have the habit of spending the gold bars but once in a while he would take time to view
them which made him really delighted.

One day, his gold bar got stolen. He was so distraught like it was the end of the world.
A person asked him, ” All these years keeping the gold bars, have you ever spent them ? “
The guy sadly replied that he didn’t spent any of them.
That person then said ” Don’t worry, since you have not spent them, I will replace them with
a few bricks at the same hiding place. You can take them as if they are gold bars and often
view them, isn’t it the same ? So why do you have to be so sad about ?

人人都想　”拥有＂　，但问题在于人心不足.
填饱肚子,又求山珍海味；　　　娶了娇妻,又求美妻;
有了房子，又求华厦；　　　　谟得一职，又求升官;　　　得到千银,又求万金;　　　
宝贵的一生就在追求＂拥有＂中,　苦苦恼恼地度过.
人的一生，拥有财富多少,有何标准?
拥有财物而不用，和＂没有”　有什么差别呢?
拥有财物而不会用,　和”无用”，又有什么不同呢?

人生在世，钱虽然很重要,但不是绝对万能的，

An incident

A few days ago, an old lady came to buy some rice from me.
Wanted only 30 cents of rice, usually I don’t sell just plain rice but seeing her old,
I told my helper to sell it to her.
Alas didn’t expect my kind heartedness led to this to happen.

She gave $2 to my helper but later said to return the $2 because she had 30 cents on her.
My helper returned the $2 and she was slowly digging the coins, it was a while before she asked to
return the $10 ( supposed to be $2 have returned to her liao ) to her when she gave to my helper.
A customer behind her also saw my helper returned the money. She was quite stern and fierce.
Given the past, I would really shout out loud and screw her for being such an ass to come up
with this kind of trick. Instead I just “sua” , gave her the money and told her to leave.

Some might say I am encouraging her to “heong” and do more these type of tricks on others.
But in my mind, I didn’t want to get myself angry over it, just take it as a donation to her or
treat that my past debtors come collect money from me. I cannot predict the people’s thinking
around me. But at least I can control my ＂心”. The least to say I still no confident controlling my
＂心＂ to be more steady which given the situation could be better handled, I was afraid my anger
would override me which could lead to something else unfavorable, I just wanted to find the easy
way out which in the long run isn’t helpful to me …….

I have the need to train myself to be up to the task …

A wealthy man and his 4 wives.

Saw this article on the chinese newspaper today ( 新明日报) written by Master Venerable Xing Yun.
Talked about 生死．Just want to share with everyone.
Written in Mandarin, did my best to translate some into English and some left in mandarin.

~ Story ~
There’s a rich man who’s going to pass away.
He was thinking since I can’t take all the riches with me, I might as well find someone to
accompany me because when I die at least there’s someone accompanying me.　He had 4 wives.
He doted on his 4th wife a lot. So he summoned her and said this,
All the while I love you the most, I showered you with jewels and diamond rings. Now that I am dying
I wish you could accompany me to death.
The 4th wife turned pale and replied
When you were alive, you loved me a lot, for that I am grateful but it’s your death,
Even we as husband and wife , I do not wish to die with you.
So he turned to his 3rd wife.
All the while he treated her pretty well and never left her. But after listening to what the man
said, the 3rd wife nervously said I am still young, when you pass away, I can still remarry someone
else, please have a heart and find someone else.
Now he turned to his 2nd wife.
Telling what he had in mind to his 2nd wife. The 2nd wife had this to say.
I don’t have time to die with you, as all the household chores be it big and small I got to handle them.
When you passed away, I will do a grand funeral for you, since we are loving couple I would personally
send you to your burial site.
Hearing what his 3 wives said, the man was very depressed.
Without much choice left he turned to his 1st wife whom he doesn’t give much care and concern.
He never lavished her with gifts and often gave her the cold shoulder. He expected that she would
reject him straight but in the end, summon enough courage to approach her. What she said to him
surprised him. ＂夫妻本是同林鸟,你死了我当然跟你一起走”

~ The explanation of the story ~
四个太太的故事，隐喻的是我们的一生.
最钟爱的四太太就是我们的身体,我们无时无刻不关心它的健康，让它穿金戴银，打扮光鲜．但是人死了,身体不能跟
我们一起走.三太太就是我们的钱财，平时悉心的保护他,害怕别人占有.可是面临死亡时,它也不会跟随我们．
二太太就是我们的亲戚朋友，偶尔来往，也给他们一点小惠，到了我们死的时候，他们也许来上个香,送我们一程，
之后就各自忙着生计．而大老婆就是我们这颗心.平时最不关心它,直到生命的尽头，这颗心却跟我们生死相随，
只是我们陷入五欲贪爱中,随弃随心恶念,四处飘摇流浪．

开示：
人常在得到全世界的财富时,仍找不到自己的真心.
就象富翁活着时，糊里糊涂，死时，迷惑恐惧．
色身,财富，妻一样也带不走.
只有善业，恶业跟随我们，往来天堂与地狱．

Some quotes/information for thought. Of the 4, I wrote 2.
They’re what M.R often emphasized to us.

不妄求是知足的生命,
不投机是本份的性格，
不计谟是诚实的做人,
不自私是净化的身心.

平常一般人总喜欢把苦和乐,难和易,分的很清楚．
因此，苦的时候难过，乐的时候喜,有收获的时候鼓舞，因困难而伤心．
假如一个人能把这些对待的事情调和，不偏激，不极端．
那么生也好,死也好,苦也好,乐也好,难也好,易也好，这不是很洒脱自在的生活吗？

~ Congrats ~

Just a short note.

My congrats to everyone bro and sis who went through the GY ceremony.

Sharing what I had experience during the whole ceremony.
During my time at the basement auditorium, didn’t felt much maybe was trying to get
everyone together, getting the figures and name tag correct.
After everyone had settled down, went to 3rd floor for the viewing, that was when I
felt more relaxed, had pressure at 3rd and crown most of the time.
Body was turning every now and then. At the ending part where Venerable Master Hsing Yun
was leaving, had this movement like legs wanna bend downwards. Was ask by M.R if I exprienced
this movement, it was same on his side. Was like wanting us to kneel down to pay our
respect to our Master though we were already standing up.

Finally, it was my weakness ( attachment ) that I felt sad that it has ended.
I really have to keep in mind of this weakness, time and time again.

Lesson 11-10-09

Started the class late as there was a healing session.
Had our Dharma lesson conducted by Bro Carlos.
Reminded us about the need to follow instructions given by M.R and not add in
your own stuffs when you feel like it, and to please consult M.R if not sure.
Touched on 50 types of “阴魔”. To be constantly mindful of our thoughts and action.

Everyone has their weaknesses, some of my case could be listed as fear, ” pai seh “, stubbornness
lust and attachments. Fear of hitting people when doing DG, fear of injuring myself when doing DG.
“Pai Seh” when many people around looking at you to see what you are doing in the end which
resulted in not doing your full performance. Stubbornness when I still do the task even though was
instructed not to do it or when I myself was thinking not to do it. Lust was also one of my weakness
which wasn’t an easy 戒 to tackle, but not being too over contented I have gradually improved on
this weakness. I get attachments easily, love this place which I could be here, miss that place/thing/
person. Knowing your weaknesses won’t do any good unless you tackle it and work on it.

Touched on ＂眼光”, this is like the part and parcel of our modern society we live in.
We are judged by the amount materialism we have. Maybe it’s easier to say than doing it.
Be frugal and to learn to 惜福. Spend but please spend it wisely and worthy.
Talking about materialism, read an article yesterday on the wealth of China. On my way of simple
surface thinking, it’s really sad to see all these rich people spending on extravagant stuffs when the
money could be put to better use by helping others down the poverty line who are suffering.

Touched on ” 5 Dragons Balancing Technique ” listed at Sis Wer Wer’s Blog.

Before the class ended, was instructed to add “供天” in my “静坐”．
Homework is to memorize the 大悲咒 which can’t recite without the music playing in the background.

Lesson 08-10-09

M.R. started the day drilling into our mind to please ask question if you’re unsure.
Don’t anyhow give answers which you’re unsure about, rather take the effort to
consult M.R if possible before taking further actions.

My thoughts towards yesterday’s case. Frankly speaking, last time I would say only 2
people not going to “修”, no big a deal what. But if we were to think deeper and further.
Like what M.R said, you not only hinder their ＂缘＂to “修行” , and the possibility to save
more people if they were to start “修行”. At the end of the day, let’s all please be mindful
of our actions/words and don’t so “青菜”．

Did SOP and followed by ＂静坐”，　3rd eye chakra was throbbing and pressure was on my
crown chakra. I don’t know if it’s my yw/rw/jd, I saw flashes of bright light every now and
then, dunno if was from the candles or something else. Afterwhich was the marble visualizing,
down at my throat chakra, had the most feel of a marble turning at my throat.
The rest of the chakra the feel was minimal.

It was the DG healing session, M.R often remind the need for strong intention power and
confidences when doing the DG healing. Class sat in a circle with M.R in the middle,
visualizing M.R turning into a lotus flower and then turn into a bright light. 3rd eye chakra
was throbbing and the same pressure was on my crown. I remembered the 1st healer who
placed his/her hands on my head had rather COLD hands, don’t know it was air con COLD or
energy COLD. Body was turning and Sis Jes was healing me, told me her hands were feeling hot
when healing me. Thanks.

Been having headaches for a week , often have to drag/push myself to work and do ＂静坐”.
Sigh …. can’t take M.C …..It was really uncomfortable until yesterday morning I was fine
and all of a sudden, the headache pain came again but this time I realized I felt pressure at
my crown and my 3rd eye was like throbbing, body like want move and do DG. Don’t know
what to do, so called to consult M.R. in end, understood what’s happening. It’s a transitional
period, for my case now, drink more water, rest more and carry on with my＂静坐”.

~ Questions ~
*For the case of the cold hands, if I were to feel cold hands, is it the problem with me or
the healer if the hands was not air con COLD ?
*For Crown pressure, is it on just one small area ? Or could be whole area of the top of the head ?
*For the others who have their ＂护法＂to ask for protection, as I don’t have any, can I just
do a “PJHS” every morning before I go out to work ?
