"It is on attaining Cosmic Reality. Before I wrote Way of the Master, I considered 'In Quest of Cosmic Reality my masterpiece"
Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit
23 December 2019, Sungai Petani
'In Quest of Cosmic Reality' arrived in Divine timing. It was the last question I asked directly that unfolded. Asking Sifu, to direct me to a teacher to further my practice in Buddhism.
Little did I know that the Greatest Teacher was 'still holding my hand' all along and I was being prepared for what I Am yet to become! '
Awakening the Faith in Mahayana' by Asvaghosha has reawakened my faith in the Bodhisattva Way.
Thank you so much Sifu for the transmission and to Kuan Yin Bodhisattva for hearing my cries and to Sigung and all the Past Masters who have been encouraging me along.
Chan/Zen 'Flashes' arrived when Sifu entered Parinirvana. I had been on a pilgrimage. There are no words that can truly convey the experiences but when I was pushed out of hiding...the Universe spoke:
Re-Awakening the Faith
The empty cup poured that day
Sifu Blues arrived.
The Sherpa appeared pointing to a new mountain,
but I yearned for the familiar beads.
Mani stones walked along with me,
Sowing their seeds.
Despondent.
I grew weary of the 5 doors.
Zen slap!
The Tree fell!
Shaken to the Karmic Bones.
Wake up sermon bellowing in my ears!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
White wall. I lept.
Birds singing, the butterfly flapped its wings...
...Sifu arrived Home!
Restless nights gave way to Dawn and familiar delights were savoured again;
Ice-cream and strawberries!
Nasi goreng!
Rainforests of Malaysia knocked on my door!
Where was I ?!
Trickery my eyes revealed!
Foolish I fell asleep again.
Weeping.
What's the purpose of it all?!
Lightening Struck...in the hearth!
Roaring Thunders...didn't you hear!?
The Masters Way showered memories,
a forgotten dream I had put to rest.
#Chan Flashes#
'The Diamond-Lotus Smiled in Breaths.
Pure Land Blossomed its Dew Drops'
Birthless-Deathless;
the last time I saw you I saw me!
Cycles I wish to cease !
Why am I still here?!
"Study the Great Way!"
"One Heart
Two Gates
Three Bigs
Four Faiths
Five Movements"
I asked the way.
"Even Bodhisattvas cry!"
I recalled the vow where a 'Thousand Arms' expressed the Myriad I's.
There's only 'One' of me!
#Chan Flashes#
Two horses neighed
"Practice! Practice! Practice!"
"...Now Let Go"
Five Geese called at Dawn...
"Its Time!"
Swifts circled;
Gate
Gate
Paragate
Parasamgate
Gone
Gone
Gond beyond Gone Altogether beyond...
By Parveen Karuna
The Bodhisattva Way
...May we all Go Beyond together and reunite in Sifu's Homeland.
May we transmit The Way with Smiling Hearts and rejoice in our legacy
It is a blessing to pick up the staff and begin as a 'student' again.
OM MANI PADME HUM
May we continue sharing our journeys together and sharing our direct experiences.
With Love & Light to all Shaolin Wahnam Family
