Jul. 23, 2017 Key Points of Living Buddha Lian-sheng's Discourse at Red Manohara Vasudhara Homa Ceremony
Key Points of Discourse:
1. Red Manohara Vasudhara Uncommon Practice is unique to the True Buddha School (TBS). A disciple who has been practicing this dharma has won all levels of lottery prizes for three years in a row.
2. TBS could be called the ''Lottery Prize Winning School.'' Many disciples have won first prize in the lottery.
3. XX's evil conduct: XX purchased lottery tickets and handed them out to everyone. In return, she wanted everybody to make monetary offerings to her. She also wanted prizes won by disciples to be handed over to her.
4. Grandmaster is concerned about those disciples who ''disappeared'' after winning lottery prizes. Grandmaster cautioned that it's a major loss to stop one's cultivation after winning a lottery.
5. Only oneself can bind oneself. Liberation of the mind is the only true liberation. When one is utterly free of attachments, one can attain liberation.
6. Grandmaster wished for Shimu's health and longevity. He praised Shimu as virtuous and intelligent. She always transforms conflict into harmony.
7. Grandmaster has no attachments. He comes seeking nothing and leaves without entanglements. Grandmaster's focus is to dispel confusion, teach buddhadharma, and propagate Buddhism each and every day.
8. Grandmaster does not own Rainbow Temple or Taiwan Lei Tsang Temple. If one is attached to a temple, one is bound by it.
9. ''Cultivation'' means cultivation of mind. ''Liberation'' is when one cannot find one's mind.
10. If one has fame and reputation in mind one is not enlightened. ''Liberation'' is freedom of attachment to fame and reputation.
