nice link Dark Cosmoz! Thanks for it!

But what is a living Buddha? Buddhas are living all the time, allthough they are not visible as a human body. I thought Buddhas are everywhere, all the time, at every place.
Or why is he called so?
Sorry the question, but I'm not informed about Buddhism that much yet!

But what is a living Buddha? Buddhas are living all the time, allthough they are not visible as a human body. I thought Buddhas are everywhere, all the time, at every place.

Here's another online book from GrandMaster Lu explaining why he's called "Living Buddha": http://www.tbsn.org/english2/article.php?id=214

Basically, in summary, he deeply meditated and found out who he was an incarnation of Amitabah:

I was resting in the meditative state of unmanifest absorption, the ultimate state of pure awareness. At that moment, the Luminosity of my Original Face outshone everything, and I became one with the Buddhas in all times and spaces.

Then, I entered into the seed consciousness of `Padmakumara.` In an instant, a thought stirred, like a cloud arising in a vast stainless sky or fish leaping out of a deep pool, and I watched, suddenly within myself, scenes from a series of magical dramas. I saw:

At the Great Dharma Conference Room, which is completely free of any samsaric dust and untouched by manifest worlds, many guards are on duty. Rays of sunlight are shining out of the Deva King Hall, and purple flames are shooting up in front of the Hall of the Dharma Protectors. Among the guards are the four Ferocious Deities, the three thousand Gatis, the twelve Heavenly Luminaries, and the eighteen Monastery Guardian Spirits.

Inside the Great Dharma Conference Room, thirty-five Buddhas are holding a secret conference. The first of the thirty-five Buddhas is Shakyamuni Buddha and the last in the assembly is the Precious Lotus Well-abiding Brahmin Tree King Buddha.

As the whole process of the conference is too long to be described here, I will just synopsize the important points of the conference:

Main Topic of the Conference: Since the number of people in samsara committing the five unpardonable sins is escalating, it is necessary to send a Great Buddha to go down to the world to help the sentient beings.

Outcome of the Conference: Elect the most well-known Buddha to descend to samsara. The Buddha with the most popular vote turns out to be Amitabha.

One of the thirty-five Buddhas, the Buddha Manifesting Non-ignorance, protested, `It won`t work. Amitabha won`t be able to do it!`

`Why not?` asked Shakyamuni Buddha.

Buddha Manifesting Non-ignorance explained, `As all cultivators today are chanting the epithet of Amitabha and calling out to him, they are not going to believe it when Amitabha is truly incarnated among them. Before Amitabha could even start his mission, he would have to enter nirvana. It won`t work.`

`What can be done then?` sighed Buddha Well-travelling.

Shakyamuni Buddha suggested, `Amitabha can take on an alias. How about Padmakumara?`

As soon as the other thirty-four Buddhas heard the name Padmakumara, they were delighted. Each nodded his head in consensus. Therefore, the decision was made that Amitabha would be incarnated in the world under the pseudonym of Padmakumara.

...

The decision made in that conference has been classified as a high-secret decision in the Buddha Realm, and none of the Buddhas is to disclose it. Although I learned about it when I was twenty-five, I am only now revealing it at the age of fifty-two. I do so because the time has arrived for the true identity of Padmakumara to be disclosed. In this essay, I will clarify a few issues which have created doubts in people`s minds.

Some people have wondered: does Amitabha still exist in the Pure Land if the founder of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss [Sukhavati] has incarnated in the world? Actually, anyone with a slight knowledge of the Buddhadharma knows the answer to this question. There are Three Bodies to the Buddha and they are the Dharma Body, Bliss Body, and Emanation Body. The Amitabha at Sukhavati is at the level of the Bliss Body. At the level of the Dharma Body, Amitabha is the Wisdom of Discriminatory Awareness of Vairocana Buddha. The Dharma Body of Amitabha exists as one of the five aspects of the wisdom of the Great Sun Buddha.

Sheng-yen Lu is one of the Emanation Bodies of Amitabha. In Buddhism, this may be explained by an analogy of the moon. When the moon in the sky is reflected in a river, a lake, or any body of water, it gives rise to the phenomenon of thousands of moons in thousands of bodies of water. The moon in the sky represents the Bliss Body of Amitabha, and the reflection of the moon in the river represents the Emanation Body of Sheng-yen Lu.

Whether this is true is up to you to decide.

Quite an ego on that guy.

Dear Dark Cosmoz,

Thanks for the link and thank you for spending time on that!
It's a interesting story, but actually it's a little bit too high for me. Sorry for that. And Buddha Shakyamuni himself said: believe nothing on faith alone.....So that's what I prefer to do, I don't want to say who's right and who's wrong I check it out for myself.

Quite an ego on that guy

I know what you mean Anthony Sihing. Actually those real Masters I've met didn't have to say what they were or what they were able to do, or what they had achieved. But you know how powerful or masterful they are when you meet them.

Respectfully

Hello Dr.Loo, I was recently advised by a kind individual while visiting HK to make certain adjustments to my bedroom...one of them was to face the head of my bed in a certain direction...let's just say I believe feng shui works...but it won't do everything for you...people forget they must work hard too and have faith in God to attain what they wish for in life...I say this because I had the attitude that everything would 'fall into place for me'...I now realise I have to work hard and try my best to be live honestly(and be Kind & Generous to the people I encounter)...

Dear Shamsher,

As I have said earlier Fung Shui is not magic. Having a good living environment will help you to work better and harder to achieve your goal in life. I will not say "have a good Fung Shui arrangement and money will fall from Heaven".

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was accusing you of saying feng shui was some form of magic...I honestly did not intend to...I am just stating that was my attitude...

With the deepest respect Shamsher.

[Dr.Frank Loo]

I don't have a problem. Go to my new Fung Shui Tips Thread under The Miscellaneous Section maybe you will find Fung Shui very interesting and entertaining.

Furthemore it will be easier for me to reply instead of having to jump from thread to thread. Thanks.
