08/16/2009 Dharma Talk by Grand Master Lu (Padmakumara Fire Homa)

Grand Master Lu discusses examples of The Eight Great Self Masteries from the original Hevajra dharma talk on Sunday, 7/26/2009.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

Golden Mother of the Jade Pond
Amitabha
Ksitigarbha

Any realm can see Grand Master Sheng-yen Lu's spirit.

3. Free coming and going, complete mastery of supernatural power

4. Infinite manifestations of a body, residing everlastingly in the purelands

In reference to #3 and #4 above. Grand Master Lu mentions he can travel freely the hells realm and all purelands, such as the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond's Jade Pond and Ksitigarbha's Purland of Ultimate Bliss. An example, he can preside over a ceremony in the sea (hells realm) after a big boat sinks.

Primary Homa Deity - Kurukulla

Both Kurukulla and Ragaraja are similar deities because it's for magnetization/harmony.  Small magnetization will be harmony to be completed amongst family members, colleagues, and neighbors.  Big magnetization will be harmony to be completed amongst sentient beings, your nation, and the nations around the world.

Kurukulla

Grand Master Lu wishes Kurukulla will bless everyone

To remove from all sufferings
To have a joyful heart which is happiness forever
To have a smiley happy face as everyone's wishes are fulfilled

Book #201 Emptiness Within Great Bless on Exposition of Hevajra

Main points from Chapter 7 The Subduing of the Four Maras

Both Hevajra and Kurukulla (today's primary deity) are easy to recognize

Dharma Implements:

Hevajra has sixteen hands with each hand holding a kapala
Each kapala contains different dharma implements
After obtaining spiritual response with Hevajra, these dharma implements are represented in this fashion

1. Eradication of all sickness (all left hand except 8th one)
2. Defeat of all evil wild animals (all right hand)
Example: When one encounters a lion, the lion will turn around and run away from you instead
(Diseases from all animals)
3. Bestowal of wealth (8th left hand is holding Yellow Jambhala)
After one obtains spiritual response with Hevajra, Yellow Jambhala will be his relative
4. Attainment of the Eight Great Self Masteries
5. Command over heaven and earth, sun and moon

Hevajra has great transcendental power and great dharma power. Hevajra is like Buddha who is great. He teaches sentient beings to liberate and to fulfill happiness forever.

Grand Master Lu has reminded his disciples the famous verse from the Diamond Sutra during this past dharma teaching on Saturday, July 25, 2009.
