What is 佛? It is 智 plus 悲 plus 法力
So how we get 智慧 , 悲心 and 法力?
智慧wisdom can be gain from reading of buddha’s teaching in either book CD or even talks…
悲心 must be gain from daily cultivation…
法力 can be gain training of 念力 and 灵力…
念力Can be gain from endurance and perseverance and the main obstacles for 念力 is 人性 and 业力. The 业力 we referring to is the 业力 we accumulated many eons years and also this lifetime… The 业力 can be accumulated 。。。
业力
Its very easy to accumulate 业 from our daily 身口意 …
Killing of animals(Regardless how small it is … It is still a Ling), pests, the meat we eat … All these are the accumulation of 身业
Telling Lies, Saying untrue stuffs, gossipping, saying bad and harmful stuffs, saying negative stuffs, saying bad things on Buddha and his teaching.. All these are the accumulation of 口业
Having bad intention to gain things or to hurt anyone or anything, Sexual misconduct… All these are the accumulation of 意业
Therfore we as a cultivator we must lesser this … To lessen this we can do the following (Pls note that this ways are not exhaustive)
1) To reduce 身业… we can do 大礼拜, 35 Buddhas Confession and Purification Practice ,礼拜88佛灭一切罪
2) To reduce 口业… we can chant 金刚萨埵百字明观想
3)To reduce 意业… we can do 观想法 … Shifu have been training us on this after we do GYFM at center…
人性
Taking on to the 5 percept( 5 戒)…
If we are unable to follow … The followers of LZT MUST do the following…
- To refrain from taking life… If unable we must only eat 3 净肉… Dont hear the killing, Dont see the killing, Animal dont die because for you and even taking of 3 净肉 we must do a simple visualisation of the meat then black image/gas/smoke/soul/sprit of meat float up and then 加持 by 佛光 then the changing of black to white colour for the soul…
- To refrain from taking that which is not freely given (stealing)… This include stealing of 法…
- To refrain from lying and deceiving… If we must or no choice then we must chant 21 times of 金刚萨埵百字明咒
- To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness… We must alway be mindful and constantly remind ourselves that we can be drunk easily…
