Prajna - How do we use it ?


Prajna - How do we use it ? Here is an example - 

I knew that when Jian Hui Fa Sze is here in Singapore, somehow she would call me to speak. I always felt that way....but somehow I was also determined not to prepare for it as I wanted me to be natural and just speak whatever that "came to my mind" there and then.

So on 1st June 2019, true enough she called me to come on stage to help this gentleman see the old lady in the photo. Actually, I can only see part of the old lady but she called me to stage. Oh Oh...how to handle this ? so I went on stage and tell the gentleman what I knew.

This is her eyes........can see the wrinkles around the eyes or not. He said cannot. Then I asked him to look at the string on the neck and said this is her mouth. Can see ? He still said cannot. At this moment, Jian Hui Fa Sze came to help........and told the gentleman .....still he cannot see. We all laughed and I decided to go back to my seat. But before that : I asked Jian Hui Fa Sze...am I correct or not ? she replied Yes ! 

Then when I sat on my seat the lady beside me said you should say this is the nose then he will get it....I thanked her and smiled and then.....I finally saw the old lady's face pop out in front of me and I knew that this is my second gift from the Universe. Thank you to the many people who came forward to help me.

I was like "wow".....and decided to keep it a secret for a while. Cause how do you tell others that images can pop out one ?? Unless that person has same cultivation standard as me or Si. Fu who already had attained buddha hood would know. 

I also know my current Si. Fu,  Venerable Hong Bok has very very good cultivation and had achieved  Buddhahood and this is one main reason why I decided to accept him as my Sifu  so that my Sifu can understand what is happening to me in my cultivation as I wish to be like "him" becoming a Buddha, a living Buddha.

The first incident did not allow me to use my Prajna. But the second day on 2 June 2019, it did. Jian Hui Fa. Sze. said to me that she heard that I am famous in Singapore and asked me to stand up and tell the rest what are my thoughts on reciting the "Hua Yuen Chin".

My mind was blank but I had to speak. So I waited for the mike to come to me then I speak with my shawl all on........which looks messy but I didn't care. Image was the last thing on my mind now.

So I spoke.....I forgot to do the greetings.......so I skipped this part and went to talk about when I started reciting Hua Yuen Chin.... I forgot so I looked at Jian Hui Fa Sze.......she said she didn't know....don't look at her. The whole class laughed. I also laughed..........I am so silly. But this is my natural self !!!

I said it probably started last year 2018 when I first sponsored a set to recite.....then I also mentioned that I am English educated and this is what made the reading very very difficult. 

Luckily in the last few years........I had trained myself to read chinese text particularly because I recite "Tee Chan Chin"..........the training since 2016 had been good such that I could recite the Chin without any difficulty. The only problem was : I didn't understand a single word that was being said as I recited them out loud.

So I continued speaking and I knew I was going to quickly end my session when a "thought" came in to tell the audience that I had made a vow to complete reciting Hua Yuen Chin. This "thought" I came to realised is called "Prajna" or "Wisdom". 

In mandarin they call it "Tze Hui". I like it..........I am glad that I had this opportunity to share my thoughts with the audience and I discovered that "Wisdom will follow you" and lead you when you need help. 

There was no need to use "our brain". That was when I discovered that to achieve Buddhahood is to not use your brain but to allow "Wisdom" (that thought) to come to you to help you help yourself or to help the people in front of you.  This is true cultivation.......just follow "Wisdom" and therefore there is "wu wa" (no self, no need to use brain) and one more to achieve is to make the body "Kong" or empty. that probably complete the whole concept of being a Buddha.

In the speech, I also speak about how because I knew Jian Hui Fa. Sze is coming to Singapore and so I had better quickly recite more chapters !!!! And the audience laughed which break the ice again......

Thank you, Jian Hui Fa. Sze for giving me two most precious opportunities to allow me to discover my true self nature and dharma teachings that are very specific to me. Thank you very much !!!
