joey wong on Nov 23, 2011 at 10:38 pm Reading these stories made me cry, as all of the mahasiddhas are just ordinary people with ordinary attachments and afflictions who have realized Mahamudra and enlightenment just by following their Guru’s instructions, and how near we are to achieving that, yet how far we are from it due to our own stubbornness. All of the stories have strengthened my resolve in following my Guru all the way and to not be lazy if i really wanted to extract the essence of this close to meaningless life of mine. I sincerely pray that i may have the sincerity and resolve of all of the mahasiddhas to follow my Guru all the way because i am utterly ashamed at what i lack. My eyes are welling up as i type this comment. Thank you so much Rinpoche for posting this. My fave mahasiddhas are Kalakala, Virupa, Ghantapa, Dharmapa and Tsamarepa. but really i love them all i can relate a lot to Kalakala, Dharmapa and Tsamarepa tho…. Much, much thanks to Rinpoche and his team for making this wonderful collection of stories. It’s really good to read it whenever anyone feels down..

Face the Truth
I have always wanted to be person who can take charge of many people even since primary school. However, being a competent leader is not easy, different kinds of situations might happen all the time and you have to handle it appropriately. This type of ability depends on a person’s experience and intelligence. Certainly, a leader will makes mistake, so does everybody else, but he has to have the courage to admit, face it and find a way to solve it. People should learn to face their real selves, the truth bravely and release themselves at the right time. While, when I was 13 years old, I was not ready to be a successful leader at all.
The memorable event happened on a typical school day before summer vacation, and the weather was very hot. As usual, my primary school asks each student to take a nap after lunchtime in summer time and sometimes the teacher would let student form grade five or six to take charge students in grade one or two. On that day, as a sixth grade student, my teacher told me to look after a second grade class during naptime. I was so excited after I know this and could not wait to meet these students.
That was my first time to being a “guard”, and the chaotic scene was different from what I imaged. Our naptime starts on twelve o’clock at noon everyday, I prepared myself some books and left my classroom at 11:55 a.m. Before I arrived there, I thought my job was just sitting in the front of the classroom, looking outside view or maybe reading my books when I feel boring. Contrary to expectation, everything was totally opposite when I stood at the door – students were chasing around each other, talking loudly and looked like they didn’t hear the bell rang and had no idea it was time to be quiet and relax. Few seconds later, I heavily knocked on the door with my book and waited them to notice me. As expected, they indeed became quiet and returned to their seats.
“Hun, it works! Maybe I should continue to be strong and let them be afraid of me,” I thought. Then, I walked straight to the platform and sat next to it. The naptime was from twelve o’clock to one o’clock in the afternoon, but quietness only last no more than five minutes. Soon, some students in the back started whispering, passing notes and disturbing others. I remained at the seat until their noise got louder and louder. I couldn’t endure any more and I shouted out “Be quiet” instantly without the slightest bit of hesitation. Suddenly, everything went silent except the thrum of the fans in the classroom wall and the chirp of grasshoppers hidden in the bushes.
Soon after, I realized taking care of young kids was not an easy task. You never know what they are going to do in next second, so no one should ever underestimate children’s strength. After I used my loudest voice to suppress these students, I thought they would behave. While, the fact proved my thought was wrong again. A boy with a taper .

The Art of Flawlessness by Moriel YamanuMoriel Yamanu
Choice... The choice is what changes the Universe. I made this choice as a child. I chose to search for the hidden, I chose the Path of Sacrament. When the choice is made, reverse inertia also appears -all those difficulties in life that try to deny the purpose of your Intention. They try to despondent you, to make you doubt the meaning of your deed.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. When a Zen Master held a long Meditation Retreat, pupils from many parts of Japan came to attend.
3. One day, one of the pupils was caught stealing by the other pupils.
4. The matter was reported to the Master with the request that the culprit be expelled.
5. The Zen Master chose the ignore the case. The pupils were very disappointed.
6. Not long later, the same pupil was caught in a similar act of stealing. BAG
7. This angered the other pupils very much. They drew up a petition asking for the dismissal of the thief, stating that otherwise they would all leave altogether.
8. When the Master had read the petition, he called everyone before him.
9. “ You are wise brothers,” he told them. “You know what is Right and what is Wrong.”
10. “ You may go somewhere else to study if you wish,” the Master continued, “but this poor brother does not even know Right from Wrong. Who will teach him if I do not. I am going to keep him here even if all the rest of you leave.” Zen Master
11. Zen Master A torrent of tears cleansed the face of the brother who had stolen. All desire to steal had vanished. All the other pupils chose to stay on with the Zen Master. They had realized a good degree of Compassion and Wisdom.

15. Reflection 4 Great Dhamma teachers practise patience, understanding, compassion and wisdom.
16. Reflection 5 Harbouring aversion, ill will, anger, hatred and enmity weakens one’s mind. The End With Metta, Bro. Oh Teik Bin
