希望對大家也有啟發

Q:
Most welcome indeed n never mind as I know when u r abroad u may tend to be more busy! I got ur name fr ur post In fact i did 2 runnings to e remit counter.Keep my suggestions for future use.Take 1 step at a time to build ur beloved Temple Juz be happy now as u can travel around freely n propagate Dharma internationally n it has its beauty in it too Having a Temple up has its pros n cons More people n more headache matters to handles.E buddhistic goal is to propagate Dharma n to remove e sufferings of beings Big or small temples is another pt The quality of Dharma gain is wisdom gain for a life time. There r temples I visited n hv not much for me to learn but instead I leant more fr DVD of great Masters n apply in my life But some temples r really gd though e may not look v magnificent I look for quality Dharma n well cultivated humble Master not temple size Juz my sincere words Always take gd care of ur health n heart Hv a great day ahead!

A:
As your observation, I want to combine temple building with Darma education, then the temple will be perfect. I try my best improve and solve the problem which the traditional temple had.

Q:
U hv great vision which I admired n respect ! Right thought thr right education =wisdom is of outmost important Thinking wrongly whole train will collapse. I am sure u hv what it takes to handle all big n small matters Thinking too much of e future dampens our mind n dulls our spirit n mind May Buddha bless u with great endurance n wisdom to walk on ur desired path!!!

Gd morning Master. Tks for ur sharings!
Fr today's posted msg,may I know what is 灵修?Is it during meditation these cultivators can c ghosts n they like to touch on topics regarding ghost or is it abt calming of our soul/mind thr meditation or....???
Soul is it = to e so called 6th,7th,8th consciousness or juz e 8th consciousness that contains all e seeds of gd+bad+neutral thought energy?
Pls kindly guide n correct me.

A:
靈修 in Buddhism is just meditation. 靈修 in Taoism is related to ghost. Pure Buddhism doesn't want to touch any ghost or god.
Buddhism usually use the term "consiousness," soul is seldom used. Because soul presupposes the exitstence of self, Buddhism don't use it.8th consciousness contains all e seeds of gd+bad+neutral thought energy, 1~7th consicousness all emerged from the seeds of 8th consicousness.

Q:
Tks v much for ur clear explanation. Now then i know got 1st to 5th consciousness cos when i listen to talks, words like 6th to 8th consciousness r so commmonly stressed on So far I never heard of 1st to 5th consiousness I wonder when a person undergoes hypnosis which consciousness is/r working?Yesturday I used my iPhone to record ur YY sharings but totally missed ur whole talks cos during recording YY incoming msg kept flowing in n stop e recording Also at e end of recording there is no recorded track to click on to hear Today I use portable mini reporter recorder to record fr my iPhone n e result is gd.I am more interested in ur yesturday topic on meditation tips.Hope u can one fine day transfer it to ur website. Hv a nice evening ahead

A:
Yes, consciousness is working when a person undergoes hypnosis.
All my speech could be found in 演講下載 on http://www.muchcalm.com.tw/
You just need to register, and you can get all speech.

Q:
Tks Master for ur reply! Yes indeed consciousness is working during hypnosis otherwise e person will be pronounced dead That means if this person dies his consciousness leaves his body but this consciousness will be active seeking for rebirth ,I guess so.I will register b4 nxt Wed .Regarding e Da Bo Rer Sutra, b4 e Boddhisattva becomes fully enlighten e law of nature will be 无自性.but once he becomes fully enlightened he will be 有自性 right? Otherwise he will drop to lower realm again . But if a fully enlighten one is said to be 有自性then how can this Buddha
transform into diff forms to help diff being Sounds illogical Am a little confused.

A:
Your guess is right.
Yes, once one becomes fully enlightened, he will be 有自性.
Which enlighten one said 有自性?

Q:
If 有自性then it will stay put as Buddha form but how come this Buddha still can transform into diff forms to help beings I dun understand e question u throw to me.
Only a 100%fully enlightened one is said to be having no change in his nature.
If Buddha can break time n space then is no problem for him to go diff realms to help diff beings without changing his Buddha nature but I am stuck in e thought why he can be transform into diff forms.

A:
First, any enlighten one must know and live in 無自性.
Because Buddha enlighten the 無自性, he can transform into diff forms to help beings. 有自性 have no change. Only 無自性 let all things change and change.
If Buddha wants to use his superpower to save human being, 無自性 gives him opportunities to transform into any form. No 無自性, no change.
Actually, Buddha nature, according to Maha-prajna-paramita-sutra, is also 無自性 and belongs to emptiness.
So is Buddhahood.
If the fact is that, we don't attach anything anymore.
And 無自性 let Buddha save people always by millions of means, skills and forms.
That's all.
Good night.

Q:
Much clearer now but I must need quiet time to digest ur answer! Will think thr again V thankful to u for rendering me ur systematic n clear answers Good nt n rest well.
