Inspirational Practice from My Master (3) - Beyond the written Rules

Inspirational Practice from My Master (3)

[preamble: A friend requested if Kunde Rinpoche could visit a family for someone is experiencing vision blurness due to diabetes and distressing experiences in related family matters. After our practice session of Vajrasattva Chang Chog, it was already past 2300hrs. Rinpoche la went despite he had travelled to perform 2 sessions of phowas for friend's beloved individuals in the morning-afternoon, and 1 session of mass practice on Vajrasattva Chang Chog in the evening, in between with a Dharma Talk and Vajrasattva Tsok offering. ]

As Kunde Rinpoche was walking towards the residence (shop) of the requested family, a little fair girl, aged four approached him, and asked: can you carry me? Rinpoche la consented and carry her up. little girl: thank you. Rinpoche smiled and get her down. Shortly, this little girl learned the Medicine Buddha Mantra easily & chanting together while her grandmother was learning to memorize the Mantra syllable voicing...
 
After the visit, I was infromed this little girl lost her mother to a heart attack at age 29 this year! Personally, it was heart-aching hearing this painful live experience, and i felt grateful and touched by the compassionate act of Kunde Rinpoche la - responding for humane condition beyond the written rules when embracing the imminent suffering of the lay person in need of support!

Mosquitoes question again?

Recently, it has been raining. i found the apartment I am residing was visiting by a lot of mosquitoes for days, thus those evenings I could smell the mosquitoes spray gas blowing through wind to my residence. I looked at my own arms and legs -  I have ‘donated’ some blood to them in 2-3days  as the mosquito repellent liquid plucked on the wall has used up more days ago. As a Buddhist, it is difficult to justify intentional killing of insects as rational people would say we need ‘wisdom’ since certain ‘species’ may be harmful to human beings. Ask anyone around locally - who has not known of someone suffered from ‘denggi fever’ or suspected of this infectious tropical disease?

About 2 months ago when my master Kunde Rinpoche was preparing his dharma activities documents, slides, video at his office (also my little living space), they were many mosquitoes for a few days.  When I saw his 2 arms with many red bums of mosquitoes bites, I felt sorry and did not know what to do. He consoled me it was alright for him. Much later we noticed there were some mosquitoes died due to ‘over sucked’ and the body too heavy to fly! Then I saw the Master picked those ‘dead beings’ up, gazed with his silent prayer and put them away to avoid my careless footsteps on them. He said to me in gentle and soft voice that it is alright for him they were too full hence their body became too heavy to fly and thus suffered! (我是没有什么的咯，但是它们吃太饱了很辛苦！) – I felt more than touched, very move by his compassion. In a strange way, my fear towards this sentient beings dissipated….. -  since then, I felt it is not enough to just do my Buddhist chanting occasionally, transfer merits to all sentient beings… even under unforeseen circumstances, it is not easy to co-exist with such living beings irrespective of big or small?
