3) No, all branches of tradition of Buddhism need to attain Buddhahood by meditation and no exception. When you 一心不亂, it is meditation of Pureland cultivation.

4) You can juz kneel down to chant fr beginning to e end. Actually, sometimes you must stand up. But, it's not very important, your view is ok. If you want to know the details step by step, you can join the 88 Fo Da Can Hui Wen in some temple. Again, if you want to kneel down throught all process, it's ok, don't worry.

5) Of course you can ask question and welcome. But I don't understand why you may appear to be an irritant? Qeustion is question, you don't need to be irritant.

Q:

Some people allow people to ask some Q but if u foll up to ask more they may find this person irritating but u r different n open to Q n I am lucky to hv u to help me. Really v Thankful to u for ur kindness n keen attitude to share!Good nt n sleep tight.

A:
Haha, I should do it. It's my honor. I'm happy to help you know all of the dharma. Good night.

Q:
Is ur honor n my pleasure.

Hi Master. Pls kindly guide me on e foll Q:
1.
Ven Jing Kong ever said if a person gets hungry easily he tends to hv more 妄想 whereas a purer cultivator tends to be less hungry cos he has lesser 妄想 but I thought physical movements cos hunger easily n a worried person may drains lots of his mental energy(more妄想) n yet dun feel hungry so what is ur view?

2.
An old Ven said '吃人家一斤要还人一两'The law of karma is it really works as such that how much of meat we consumed we hv to pay back e exact amt of bad karma or it depends on whc realm one is reborn into n e karmic effect that spiral back for one to suffer is diff rt? Eg u eat an ant n u eat a person,e karma to pay back is so diff.E impact n degree of paying back by e sufferer to e victim is also dep on e level of e cultivated victim rt?That means if u happen to hurt or kill a more cultivated person,u will tend to suffer more when e bad karma spiral back to u,rt?
Another case:
1pig size =10 chickens size n when u eat i whole pig u only pay e bad karma for 1 pig but eating 10 chickens u hv to pay e bad karma back to e 10 chickens.So is safer to eat 1pig than 10 chickens(in terms of size n number) .But if u share 1pig's meat to 20people,these 20people+u= 21people will hv to pay back their bad karma to e pig in e future rt?. The mutated H7N9 viruses r they so clever as to find their way to attack on their respective enemies(link to collective karmic force)Karmic energy can so accurately find e golfer n drop faeces on him. Karmic force appears dormant but when the factors n opportunities r ripe it hits so fast n accurately giving no mercy to e defender. So scary indeed. Luckily,Buddhism offers right cultivation methods to prevent us fr suffering.

If I am not wrong Guan Yin n Manjushiri Boddhisattvas also practice Pureland cultivation n some Buddhas extend their wide n elongated tongues to ensure n build confidence in us that Pureland cultivation though is a 难信之法but such simple cultivation specially tailored made for 末法众生really exist for us to practice.It is e simplest n e fastest method to jump steps in getting rids of our past countless accumulated bad karma when we r in Pureland under e guidance n e protection of e AMTF vows.All we need to do is juz to believe fully in Amitabha Buddha's great vows n chant his name at every moment so that we will own a lotus specially for us to be reborned in Pureland once we r dead.I believe to a certain extend cos those long n wide tongue Buddhas n e AMTF sutra won't tell lies rt? Also many recent popular cultivators like Ven Hui Lui, Ven Jing Kong ,Ven Jin Jie n counting on....I am sure they studied n explored real deep into these Pureland books giving them great confidence to engaged their whole lives into this practise There r also some dvds circulating ard with evidents of abt to die Pureland cultivators seeing AMTF n 2 other Boddhisattvas receiving them to go Pureland b4 they cut their breath. If the Pureland sutra tells lies then it losses its value as a sutra n is likewise to say that AMTF is a liar making empty promises out of his vows.But I don't think so due to e abv reasons. What is ur views on Pureland practice n it's pros n cons? If u know of any loopholes that I never discover abt this Pureland practice pls kindly share w me.
I am not running into any debate abt Pureland sect with other sects neither am I to lower or sing praises of any sects but I am juz simply hunger for concrete n logical views on e pros n cons abt Pureland practice.I used to hear e pros of Pureland practice n never heard of e cons of Pureland practice . Due to my lack of wisdom n knowledge abt Pureland I am afraid my views r too surface n shallow to see e whole picture of Pureland practice so I humbly need ur kind guidance as ur exposure n scoops of Buddhist knowledge r much wider n I trust that u hv a sharper mind to grasp n analyst concepts accurately .In Singapore, Pureland DVDs n Sutras r easily available so I tend to know a little abt Pureland practice.

The ?阿含经 is more inclined to e Hinayana concepts while e Da Bo Rer Sutra belongs to e Mahayana rt?

5.
There is this concept I ever come acossed that says if I exist e world will exist coincidently If I die the world will not exist.But I listen to ur
Mp3 talks abt心不相应法 u mentioned that our 5识 n e outside changing environment r separated so can I conclude that even if one dies 5识is gone n e outside world still exist Likewise if an ant dies its 5识 r gone but we human as part of e environment still exist Therefore is not too logical to conclude that if I exist e world will exist n if I die e world will not exist Am I rt?But for successful Pureland cultivators who r qualified to exist in Pureland their living enviroment is Pureland n samsara no longer belongs to them as AMTF has transformed them into lotus body that make them all look exactly like AMTF but they r intelligent enough to differentiate n recognize e diff in one another So their 5识 is of diff standards fr us rt?

6.
UFO is it under human realm out of e 6 realms of existences?

So sorry Master I intend to keep e abv questions after u r back fr ur international Dharma talks but after typing e last question I unintentionally press e send button I am really v sorry abt this..

A:
it's too late tonight, I read it tomorrow.

Q:
Gd morning Master! So sorry that my finger has unmindfully responded too fast to e 'send' button n has brought inconvenience to u.Multi-tasking has drives u with little rest so pls catch enough rest daily.It's fine for me if u ans e Q after ur Dharma trip.

A:
1.
There are two possibilities. If a person gets hungry easily he tends to hv more 妄想. And it is very possible to have more 妄想 because of full with hunger satisfied. After hunger satisfied, we will be greedier. So all situation is decided by our will.

2.
We don't need to calculate so carefully. All we need to do is eating less meat or no meat. Then we don't worry about the problem of bad karma. The correct method of karma calculation have no record in any Sutra, Sastra, or Vinaya. So we just know the right direction about the karma. When we follow this direction, we will be fine.

3.
Pros totally or cons thoroughly are both not perfect wisdom.
We are human beign, not machine which just admits 0 or 1.
Because we are more complex organisms than machine, the answer is naturally not neither to accept nor negate the thought of Pureland.
Sometime we are very strong, we can practice meditation very will and independently.
But sometimes we are very weak, we need somebody to help us. Which one could help us then? Actually, anyone, any Buddha or any Bodhisattva, even any gods can help us this time. Not only AMTF can do that.
Too many masters declare the importance of AMTF, everybody forgets the existence of other Buddhas all over the universe.
As Sakyamuni Buddha encourage all Buddhists believing the power of AMTF, now I encourage all people beliveing the power of Buddhas all over the Dharma-realm.
Again, people have 2 possible situations, one is strong, the other is weak. Both are facet, we need practice Dhare by ourselves sometimes, and need some Buddha's help sometime. In my opinion, AMTF is necessary, but not the only one choice. In face, we have countless choices.

4.
You are right.

In analysis, 5 consiousness maybe separated from environment. But in our life, we can't separate them. For stone, it makes no sense to distinguish 5 consciousness from environment. Only for living being, the separation make sense.
You never die, you are always here or there. So inner and external is one unity, not two partial thing.
When I say you are always here or there, I mean you can go to the Pureland of AMTF or other Buddhas. This argument is according to Maha-paramita-sutra. From this sutra, you know you can go any Buddha's Pureland to learn a lot of things every life until becoming a Buddha yourself.

No, UFO is under 6 realms of existence cos all reports are from our eyes, ears, or even illusion. On the contrary, gods, arahants, bodhisattvas and Buddhas are out of the 6 realm, it's the reason why scientists can't see them from any telescope.
There are 5 levels of eyes. Except first eyes, we can see all kinds of living being, above UFO possibly, when we get the other 4 levels of eyes, i.e. 天眼, 慧眼, 法眼 and 佛眼.
