Wesak Day

It was Wesak Day on 28 May 2010 in Malaysia.  In India it is called Buddha Purnima.  Then during the collective meeting, we listened to Shri Mataji's talk on Shri Buddha Puja 1991.  It was a very powerful talk (which talk isn't) about ego.  I can't remember much now about the speech but I remember this line:

Buddham Sharanam Gachami
Dhamam Sharanam Gachami
Sangam Sharanam Gachami
Shri Mataji actually explains the meaning of these phrases in the speech which means:

To Buddha, I seek refuge
To Dharma (righteousness), I seek refuge
To Sangha (which is Vishwa Nirmala Dharma), I seek refuge.

It's not exactly Shri Mataji's words from the speech, just from my memory.  This prayer helps to remove the ego.

It's best to read the speech, Shri Buddha Puja, 1991, Belgium.  If I am not mistaken, it is in one of the Divine Cool Breeze.

Have you look at Shri Mataji's bindi before?

The red dot on Her forehead?  We looked at Her beautiful face a lot but how often do we look at Her bindi?

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

I started the matka pot treatment last night.  Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment.  Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights).  Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies.  Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk).  I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo.  Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities.  Then place it on the left side of the bed.  I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on ...
