Projections


A glass of water is offered:
Buddhas see healing nectar of compassionate wisdom;
Humans see refreshing water to quench their thirst;
Pretas see revolting blood and pus.

Five emails are offered:
CC sees salt on his wound; she sees a girl,
Kicking his ass with compassion carefully held by wisdom.

“He studies rocks.  I save lives.  You can’t marry him.”
Are you asking me to marry you?  When will that happen?
“Don’t know.  7 years, 10, 15.   Maybe.  Don’t know.”
We met at 10 pm, talked until 4 am, you walked me to my door.

“If you can offer water bowls without spilling a drop, that is very auspicious,” says Geshe Lama Konchog.    

每天、若能於供水時心專注於上、而不使水溢出、已圓寂「袞卻格西 」曾開示提到「一心不亂」專注做供水亦是修定 。

Lama Zopa Rinpoche suggests:  “100,000 offerings of water bowls for 10 years without stop.  Very auspicious.”  

臺北經續法林奉行「梭巴仁波切」的指示:「每天、作百供水行之數十年、從不間斷 」。
