- Master JiGong asked,
- "Today if you wish to obtain the
marvellous wisdom
- Of the light beings or the Buddha or
Bodhisattva
- You must first GIVE. Right?"
- He further said,
- "Without contributions and sacrifice
- How can you obtain this wisdom?
- All numerous beings are the same
- When you pay homage to the Light Beings
- You must first kneel down below them
- But yet your heart is high up above
- They want you to first put down your
attachment
- To the self or ego
- Then only can they communicate with you in
wisdom."
- In the temple of TAO
- The devotees kneel and bow easily
- It is to first respect the Buddha
- Let go of the ego
- And set the hearts low and be polite, courteous and humble
- Some non-devotees of TAO
- Have a misconception as to why they are treated so well
- In the temple of TAO when they visit them
- They are worried of the motive behind it
- But some really appreciate and praise them
- And commend that they should learn from TAO
- The manner and the discipline of the devotees
- In the temple of TAO
- Rules and regulations are set by the Buddha
- It is a guide to discipline the devotees
- So that human character can be groomed to the optimum
- And to the utmost perfection, says Master JiGong
- Every little thing
- From offering a wet towel to wipe the hands before entering
- To the serving of drinks, food and to prayer hall
- There is great harmony
- From these little things
- Of serving to deep talk on TAO
- Marvelous wisdom grows
- Even by just serving the visitors wholeheartedly
- Bodhisattvas are born
- To serve is greater than to be served
