like a mirror in the water
undisturbed by the ripples caused by you or others..
you hold your ground and know/see your true self..
like lotuses among flowers
growing from mud..
but unstained and pure…
like dragons in the earth
balance and control…
firm and unwavering..
like sutras in the fire
burning away the dross and impurities…
tested by the flames…
like power within emptiness
finding motion within stillness…
and stillness within motion…
like a king among the spirits
giving relentlessly and compassionately…
finding equality among all beings…
like a saint among the human beings
bringing light to the darkness…
changing the world through your daily actions..
today after meditation.. i reflected upon my last 27 days of actions, speech and thoughts… suddenly i ended up in a blank state of mind… and the words above came to my head… i realised that what i’m practicing is not just a 观想.. its also a code of conduct for me… putting the words into actions.. putting the actions to tests….
kinda understand why MR told me he’s not teaching me to be an actor..
kinda understand why cultivation is called ‘修’ ‘行’…
over this 27 days.. i already faced all sorts of challenges on 贪,嗔,痴,慢,疑..
sometimes feel like calling MR to “complain” and seek some console..
but i clearly understand.. its part of the journey and i have to stay positive…
no 自我, no 自私, no 自怜… if little bit like that cant take it… then all my practice is gone to waste..
anyways MR.. just for updates… my daily cycle goes like this…
21 x BZMZ
standard SOP
(replaced the GYFM with the 笔中仙法)
(replaced OMPH with ATDZY)
got do everyday.. but never write everyday.. missed a few occasions..
the times when i missed.. i try to take the brush to write but really no feel…
so i never force it… dont know if its a test of my impatience..
meditation timing ranges from 45mins to 1hr15mins..
the entire practice ranges from 1hr30mins to 2hrs…
am facing some challenges on my work so will call you for updates..
anyways.. i’ll be in class on thurs.. so see ya there!!
love to all..
BFG
