~ 如何改变执著 ~

An Enlightening Article by Master Venerable Xing Yun.
Just share with everyone which what all of us face in our lives.
What MR has often remind us about
” 执著 ” ( Loosely translation taken from web : Insistence/Obsession )

~~~~~ The Article ~~~~~

“改变执著, 一生或许就有了转变…..”

星云法师说: “人生难免有一些执著.我归类为以下6种:

1)观念的执著

自己认定的东西,就执著,不能修正.
如果正确倒也罢了,不正确的却要执著,计较.
执著只会局限自己,束馎自己,使自己不能扩大和圆触,到最后不能进步,也无法成功.

2)文字的执著

唐朝诗人王勃在 (一本书) 写有 “落霞与狐鸳齐飞,秋水共长天一色” , 他自觉文辞美妙,
沾沾自喜,一直在金山寺沙滩上读诵这个句子. 金山寺的老和尚听了批评道:
文字贵求简单,如用 “落霞狐鸳齐飞,秋水长天一色”, 不是把 ‘ 与 ‘ 和 ‘ 共’ 包含在
其中了吗?王勃大悟,容易陷入这种执著而不自知,其实只要听取意见,也许效果会更好.

3)习惯的执著

有些人对自己的习惯非常执著,喜欢什么颜色,喜欢什么环境,只要合乎自己的心意,
不管别人喜欢不喜欢,他就是执著自己的习惯.然而人不能只觉的自己的习惯就是对的,
如果别人不认同,也要改变自己的习惯才好.

4)思维的执著

从思维的方式可以看的出一个人的教养,看出一个人的智慧,看出一个人的能力,
看出一个人的人缘.不要让自己的思维方式离经叛道,或者空洞,或者偏执,或者不切实际.
思维讲究实用,讲究合乎众仪.

5)感情的执著

人的另一个名称叫着 “有情”, 所以人类的感情最容易自私,执著.
以我有关的,我爱的,都是好的,都是对的,与我无关的,我所不爱的,就不关心.
感情上的执著最容易犯错,感情是一片遮板,遮住了眼睛,看不到他人,看不到世界.
在感情里执著,私爱,溺爱,错爱就发生了.

能把爱执放下,一切诉诸公正,公开,就不会给爱情给蒙蔽了.

6)理想的执著

对理想是应该执著,但是也要注意合不合乎时宜.
时代不断再进步,社会不断再变化.思想也需要求新,求变,求全.
人要有理想,才能顶目标,理想是一切事实之用,事实是一切理想之果.
理想也要净,要正,要全,尤其要善,要美,才值得支持.

~ 放下 ~

无数人渴望人生的潇洒, 无数人对 “拿起” 有着太多太多的迷恋,
而且也有着将 “拿起” 进行的到底的执著和勇敢,
可是世间有几个人在 “拿起” 时能坦然地 “放下” 呢!
所以说 , “放下” 是比”拿起”更艰难的灵魂工程.
面临两难的境界时,面对无法可攀登的高峰时,
适时地”放下”何尝不是一种大的智慧呢!

Lesson

Supposed to be on the ” To be healed ” List but couldn’t make it on time due to
more things to be done at work.

Bro Dom did a recap of the SOP meaning before the class started by MR.
Was tested on SOP during class today.
Was trying hard not to be nervous , alas in the end , had to do the ” 大礼拜 “
because I missed out a word from a Mantra without realizing it.
Did GYFM which could be better.
MR had a talk with us, to regards from the mounting pressure faced by some classmates
and the need to instill some form of disciple and teaching procedure. Hope she/he can
overcome the stress/problems and return to class.

Afterwhich we went for our DG down at the playground.
It has been quite sometime since I did the DG at the playground.
In the beginning, wasn’t having much feel but slowly it built up to a point that things started
moving smoothly. The drunkenness movement wasn’t as much as before, there was
also stance of punching and legs movement which could have lasted longer but my body
couldn’t take it and I had to stop.

Then was instructed by MR to form into the outer formation of the “4 dragon ladies” and
Ah zar in the center of the formation. My hands started to pushing outwards direction into the
formation as if adding energy into it. As I had my eyes closed all the way,
I didn’t know what to do when ah zar came over, and left fuming as I didn’t accept the ” pill “.
In the end, MR walked over to ah zar and requested for a ” pill ” and passed it to me.
The thing was when I started to consume the ” pill “, I felt a big surge of energy going
into my body down to my stomach. Almost make me wanna puke. Another thing is in the
beginning I was loosing strength and wanted to stop at making the pushing outwards direction.
Surprisingly, slowly I did not felt much sore and continued that movement till the end of the
session.

Overall was a great DG.

~ 一首不知足的歌 ~

An article in ( 新明日报) written by Master Venerable Xing Yun.
Just want to share with everyone.
It’s sort of written in a poem/song which is meaningful.

( In Mandarin )
一首不知足的歌,将人的”心无厌足”形容的贴切,大家深思,也可从中得到启发.

终日忙碌只为饥, 才的饱来又思衣,
衣食两般皆俱足, 房中又少美貌妻,
娶的娇妻和美妾, 出入无轿少马骑,
馿马成群轿已备, 田地不广用支虚,
买的良田千万顿, 又无官职被人欺,
七品五品皆嫌小, 四品三品乃嫌低,
一品当朝为臣相, 又想君王做一时,
心满意足成天子, 更望万世无死期,
总总妄想无止息, 一棺长盖抱恨归.

( Translated into English )
A song/poem that transcend ” unlimited wants “, somewhat familier to what most of
us might be facing in life. Give it a thought, hopefully you will get some ideas from it.

Daily we are kept busy so as to feed ourselves,
After satisfying our hunger, we long for clothing,
Now that we have our fills of clothing and food,
We lack a beautiful wife/partner in the house,
When we got a beautiful wife or partner,
We lack the mode of transportation when we go out,
Now that we got our vehicles,
We do not have a big padi field to expand,
Finally we purchased thousand acres of fields,
But we hold minor positions often being bullied by others,
Level 7 or Level 5 posts we find it too low,
Level 4 or Level 3 posts we find it not high enough,
Finally we got to level 1 to become the Prime minster,
But now we want to become the President,
Now that we happily become the President,
We wish more that we can live forever,
Longing for all the ” wants ” never ceases,
We bear full of hatred when we enter the coffin.

So live life simple …. cheerz !

Lesson

Just Short Note

For GYFM
Had feel at crown and 3rd, was shaking but not as much. Had feel to a point where I like
somewhat felt emptiness, somewhat feel I am not my body, feels pretty good but it only
lasted for while. Saw bright light during the whole GYFM. Overall did a pretty good GYFM.

Sit-Down DG
Hands was swaying around, body turning ,smiling at times. I felt I am getting more relax
with every Sit-Down DG session as my hands aren’t that stiff as before. Used to have
sore arms after Sit-Down DG session because I add abit of my own movement. There’s
alot of room for improvement with every session.

Overall A great session.

1st Experience …

Did GYFM as a group followed by sit down DG, 3rd and crown had feel and was smiling
all the way but had to control my hands abit as we were sitting too closed to one another.

Went to playground which I had my 1st experience.
We each found our location and did our own DG. Was in the drunken state, swaying around.
After that was instructed to pair up with Bro Richard to do pair DG.
Movement wasn’t that big and managed to connect with Bro Richard wherever he moved to.
Didn’t opens my eyes to check, just managed to ask Bro Richard after the DG session.
Slowly, join up with Sis Wer and Jes , it was small movement not my usual movement, as if I
was following Sis Jes movement. Had feel both of my middle fingers pointing outwards.
Had quite a feel at my 3rd and crown chakra when doing the DG.

After which, a next formation went in where we were instructed to heal Vivienne. Can’t
really remember how many ppl was in the formation but once MR told us to begin, I began
to move towards her. And doing some healing hands stance, I was wondering if I was in the
formation healing sis Vivienne. So I took a peep, was surprised and delighted that I was right
in front of her. A first for me, as I have never did that stance at the playground before and
my hands was like wanting to hit her back or shoulder I don’t know, wanted to control cos
scare use too much force to hit her but in the end, let go and I started to drum hit her for a
while before the hit stop. Sis Wer also like”Jia Ci” me when she palm my back could feel that I
am getting some energy-up to do more healing on sis Vivienne.

After our DG, all sit in a circle to chant OMPH, give thoughts of ppl suffering in hospital and
loves ones leaving us. Remember how I saw an auntie slowly dying after suffering from cancer.
Almost close to tearing abit. I didn’t control !!

Overall, it was quite a worthwhile trip to the playground. Not being too carried away.
I am quite delighted to be able to perform something which I didn’t think I could.
Frankly speaking, the need to exercise build up our stamina is quite important for DG.
Not ” Hao Lian “, my legs/hands didn’t sore as it used to due to more exercising regime.
So please exercise more and do GYFM/SOP more …. cheerz !

Lesson 10/12/09

Just a short note.

Did GYFM, was instructed to do a more than an hour GYFM.
Usually at home the max I was able to do was only an hour.
Yesterday was something new, beginning my left leg became quite
numb but didn’t care until the numbness went away. Did to a point
where my right knee became so unbearable painful that I frigid.

During GYFM, hands was shaking vigorously, and hear someone/something
singing in the background, was trying hard to listen what was sung but in the
end couldn’t make out then give up … went back to concentrating my GYFM …

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

~ 为牛请命 僧人和屠户的较量 ~

A short article, regarding monks saving the cattles from being slaughtered in China.
It’s sad to know these gentle animals work throughout their lives plowing the soil of our paddy field
and providing milk for human, in the end still get killed for our taste bud.

~ 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.
