The Benevolence of Living Buddha Lian Shen
1. Living Buddha Lian Shen: `Since time immemorial the secret of the Tantric Buddhism has never been made public, so that it can maintain utmost secrecy. And because of this, it has become the patent right of a few Living Buddhas. And now, I realise that all humans are born equal. It is time for the Esoteric dharma to be spread to the commoners. The right to practice and cultivate is no longer the sole right of lamas and monks. It should be an integral part of everybody. I wish everyone can walk the Boddhi path and practice the dharma, so that lives will be even more meaningful. As human beings in this world, we should not have ignored such important task as carrying out the cultivation.`
2. The True Buddha Dharma does not deviate from other people`s religious beliefs. In fact everyone can take refuge and cultivate irrespective of whether he is a monk, or a layman, whether he is in good health or is a cripple, whatever social strata he is from, whether he is a vegetarian or non-vegetarian, he can carry out the practice if he so wishes. This is the reason why True Buddha Dharma is so magnificient and expedient.
3. The secret meaning of Mahapadmakumara is `Great Fortune Vajra`.
After practising the dharma, one will not only obtain spiritual response with the guru, but also accumulate the greatest merit. Celestially speaking, one will have the accomplishment equal to that of a Lotus Bodhisattva. Secularly speaking, one will be able to have a perfect accomplishment in life. The guru and all the Buddhas in the dharma realm are one and the same. He has embodied the body,speech,and mind of the Buddhas of Ten Directions and Three Lives, the Past, Present and Future; and the 84,000 dharma doorways. All the disciples of Ling Xian True Buddha School are in fact taking refuge in a guru that has lineage, origin, and great virtue. The disciples are indeed very fortunate.
4. Living Buddha Lian Shen is an enlightened and realised being. For the benefits of others,he eradicates misfortunes, and prays for better fortune on their behalf. This is not done for his own good, he is really a benevolent saint.
i. Practise `purgatorial dharma` using the inconceivable strength of the great seal of Mahamudra together with the power of secret Mantra, he makes the holy ghost manifest itself, so that all strange sicknesses can be cured.
ii. Preach `fortune gathering dharma` Beyond the material world, he displays his power of the Six Spiritual Penetrations in order to fulfil the wish of those praying for better fortune. They will be happy if their wishes are granted.
iii.In the main temple `Lei Zhang Tze` of True Buddha School in Seattle, USA, stupa lights are lit at both sides of the main altars, so that those disciples and believers can make offerings. Living Buddha Lian Shen will personally use his power of the Six Spiritual Penetrations and compassion to energise those making offerings so that they and their relations will be able to eradicate their karma; avoid all misfortune, accumulate good merit and live a healthy and meaningful life.
iv. Living Buddha Lian Shen is very compassionate. For those disciples who are poor, they may make any amount of offering as they can afford,and Living Buddha will still personally gather merit and perform purgatiorial service for their ancestor`s souls on their behalf.
v. Teaching the dharma through dreams
Some of the disciples are very eager to learn the dharma and a lot of mail is received daily. To reply in time is therefore a real problem. If they do the necessary mental preparation, Living Buddha Lian Shen will be able to assimilate himself into cosmic energy in his deep meditation and reach the disciples in their meditation or deep sleep. This way of teaching the dharma by putting what he wants to do into cosmic energy and transmitting it to the disciples dreams is known as `teaching the dharma through dreams`.
vi. The Vows of Living Buddha Lian Shen
``I vow that to benefit all sentient beings, I shall not become a Buddha until all of them attain Buddhahood. I also vow that I would rather be in the hell sustaining all their sufferings, and being ground into ashes for their sake. Just like the great vow of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha `I shall not be a Buddha, unless and until the hell is empty`. Now that I have leaked out all the secrets of the future, I have broken the precepts, for the sake of all mankind and not for myself. Even if I have to suffer as a result, I will sacrifice my life to succour more people so that my life will be more meaningful.``
`I am still willing to do so even if everybody ascends to the heavenly realm and I am the only one in hell.`
