般若波罗密多心经
唐三藏法师玄奘译

观自在菩萨 行深般若波罗蜜多时
照见五蕴皆空 度一切苦厄

舍利子
色不异空 空不异色
色即是空 空即是色
受想行识 亦复如是

舍利子
是诸法空相 不生不灭
不垢不净 不增不减
是故空中无色 无受想行识
无眼耳鼻舌身意 无色声香味触法
无眼界 乃至无意识界
无无明 亦无无明尽
乃至无老死 亦无老死尽
无苦集灭道 无智亦无得 以无所得故

菩提萨陲 依般若波罗蜜多故
心无罣碍 无罣碍故 无有恐怖
远离颠倒梦想 究竟涅盘

三世诸佛 依般若波罗蜜多故
得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提

故知般若波罗蜜多
是大神咒 是大明咒 是无上咒
是无等等咒 能除一切苦 真实不虚

故说般若波罗蜜多咒
即说咒曰 揭谛揭谛 波罗揭谛
波罗僧揭谛 菩提娑婆诃

Today we are very blessed to be able to participate in a Naga Puja. The Puja was conducted at East Coast. First Rinpoche started off with some chanting and then we were taught on how to make offering to all Buddhas and Sentient Beings using the Tsa Tsa offering cup, rice and water. The Puja ended with an dedication of merits and a Dharma talk by Rinpoche. 

One of the question asked is why are we doing water offering ? My answer, water is the basic of life ? Not sure if I am right :) Rinpoche just gave us a smile.  Well according to Rinpoche, water is in abundance and anyone, rich or poor, can make offering using water.  And since water is in abundance and usually free, when we make the offering ,we can do it whole heartedly without thoughts of constraint.  The important point while making offering is to feel happy and free our mind of all thoughts of constraint.

May the Divine bless all with abundance of the all highest good. Thank you Divine.

I think today is my negative karma release day.  I had a fall in the morning and lost my handphone on my way home from work.

But luckily I didn't hurt myself too badly.  It seems that someone was there to support me when I fell.

Although I loss the phone but somehow within me is a signal for me to renew myself.  Thinking positively I just take today as an negative karma release day and temporay relieve from the burden of the phone ?

May the Divine help and guide me to the way of better tomorrow and please also bless me and all around me with protection and abundance of joy, health and happiness.

Thank you Divine.

Today is the day to collect my Guan Yin Statue from the shop.  I have sent my Guan Yin statue for repair and was planning to put in a scripture and some crystals before consecration. I have prepare many nice crystals, including a set of synergy 12 stones. 

I was very excited today but thing didn't really go close to what I planned. It started with me feeling sick this afternoon during work and so when I was there at the shop, I was feeling abit ill.

The statue used to be hollow with a small hole at the bottom.  I prepare many things to put into the statue but sometimes things can turn out quite different from what we planned.  When the uncle from the shop show me the half done statue, he told me he had already filled much of the hollow space with clay to stablise the statue and have left a small hole for me to put the things I want to put in.

I was a bit disappointed knowing that my effort in collecting all the crystals might go to waste now.  However I wasn't feeling sad or angry but rather it triggers a thought, maybe the Buddha just want somthing simple.

When I was home I tried to measure how much crystals I can put in. The fact is actually many stones are oversize in the first place, even if the clay are not there I won't be able to put them in.

Well now I just hope the scripture on paper can still be fold and small enough to be put in together with the gems and the items that are stated in the scripture.

Well sometime we must learn that certains things are better left to fate. Especially when practising and doing spirtual stuff we have to understand some things that does not turned out as what we thought and planned might be what the Divine have in plan for us.

The lesson I learnt is that whatever we do, just put in our best effort but when things don't turn out exactly what we think will happen, so be it and nature take it's course and still move on with what we can still do.  I also come to an understanding that simplicity might be better and more are not necessary better.

May the Divine, Buddhas and all Higher Being aid me in my preparation work for the consecration of the statue.

Thanks Divine, Buddhas and all Higher Being.

Today wasn't a very good day for me.  I went out of house early today so as not to be late but still ended late as I wasn't able to squeeze in the train and had to wait for another. What was worse is that the train was futher delayed at Clementi Station.  I missed the company and ended up spending an extra $10 on Taxi.

While I was in the taxi, I suddenly have these thoughts I already have left house early but why am I still late.  Well the answer I finally gave myself is about our consciousness. All of us have limited our consciousness by Space and Time hence we are not able to comprehend things that are beyond the framework of Space and Time. Even within this framework of Space and Time there is a very important component that we have always neglected and omitted in our thoughts.  So what is that we have neglected? Let’s explore further.

First we ask ourselves do we really know all about space and time.  Not for me. In fact if I do have a consciousness that comprehends all about Space and Time then I would have the same consciousness of the creator, because this world is nothing more than Space and Time. Manifestation is about creating Space and Time. If our consciousness would go even beyond Space and Time then we would be able to comprehend beyond all manifestation of this world.

But what is the important missing component that we are neglecting? My answer to myself is Change. Time and Space is only limited as much as Change itself. Without Change Time and Space it limited. 
So what is the conclusion? Space and Time is limiting our consciousness as much as our consciousness is limiting the Change in Space and Time. If we expand our consciousness to always include that ‘extra’ space and time for change, we then would have initiated the limitless cycle of consciousness expansion.

In more simple word, cater for extra space and time in all things / activities that we do daily.  Only an empty glass is able to fill in more water. How do we keep the glass always empty?  Accept that there are always changes, don’t fill it to the brim, and be preparing to change the glass at anytime.

This then is the way to cultivate expansion of consciousness, always have space and time for changes.

Thanks Divine, may all be bless with abundance of the highest good.
