Licchavi Vimalakirti came to the foot of that tree and said to me, Reverend Sariputra, this is not the way to absorb yourself in contemplation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation so that neither body nor mind appear anywhere in the triple world. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest all ordinary behavior without forsaking cessation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest the nature of an ordinary person without abandoning your cultivated spiritual nature.

Wong Tai Sin - Charm Feb 26, 2023 17:19:08 GMT 1

This kind of 'Charm' is designed to be hanged in the centre of the cross-beams comprising doorways. The idea is that everyone who traverses through this space (doorways are 'rounded' within traditional Chinese doorways - a disgin retained in the film the 'Hobbit' and other related Movies) are 'blessed' by the contained spiritual message! This charm contains an image the 'Great Wong Tai Sin' on one side - and 'Kuan Yin' on the other! The purpose is 'healing of the 'mind' (for 'calmness' and 'tranquillity') and the body (the 'end' to all physical illness).

In striving to perform one's religious duty, the first thing is to observe the rules of discipline. For discipline is the fundamental of the Supreme Bodhi; discipline begets immutability and immutability begets wisdom. Master Xu Yun.
