About The Irish Hanmi Esoteric School

 

We practice Hanmi Esoteric Buddhism: the complete teachings of the Mahavairocana Buddha passed down by Vajrasattva and Nagarjuna Bodhisattvas to Subhakarasimha, Vajrabodhi, and Amoghavajra.

On August 15, 2008, the 105 year old Grand Master Fozhi, the Abbot of Yingtian Monastery in Chengdu, Sichuan province, passed on the Dharma Lineage Holder-ship of the Linji School of Chan/Zen Buddhism. Dechan Jueren is now the 47th Dharma Lineage Holder of Linji Chan/Zen Buddhism and the 16th Lineage Holder of the renowned Zhaojuie Monastery.

 

Lineage

The spiritual teachings and practices of ancient India were developed by the Brahmans, and were then evolved and transmitted by the great saint Shakyamuni Buddha over 2400 years ago.
Disciples of the Nepalese guru Nagarjuna Bodhisattva brought the Buddhist teachings from Nalanda monastery in India to Xi'an city in China around 1300 years ago, and combined them with Taoism and Confucianism.

The awakened masters have preserved this knowledge through an unbroken lineage in the Hanmi Chinese Esoteric School of Buddhism. The current lineage bearer is Living Buddha Dechan Jueren.

Dharma Rite Services

One of the greatest services Dari Rulai Fa Yin Temple offers the community is to conduct dharma rites. A Dharma rite is a Buddhist ritual prayer ceremony where a group of esoteric practitioners gathers together and prays for a common goal. A group of practitioners who have experience working together with advanced states of consciousness can overcome an obstacle with relative ease that would be insurmountable for one person alone. All Dharma rites are conducted by initiated disciples and are held inside a mandala created and empowered by Living Buddha Dechan Jueren.

Why Do People Request Dharma Rites?

Most commonly we do Dharma Rites to help people overcome obstacles they are having with health, wealth, and luck. It is also common for people to request a Dharma Rite for a deceased relative. Sometimes Dharma Rites are held to celebrate a special occasion, like a holiday, or birthday, or to pray for world peace.

Types of Dharma Rites:

The following is a list of many of the Dharma rites conducted by Dari Rulai Fa Yin Temple.

Birthdays
Treat yourslef or a loved one to a powerful blessing that will attract health, wealth, happiness and good fortune throughout the coming year. The receiver does not have to be present a the cermony for the blessings to be received, but everyone is welcome, and there will be cake!

Luck Change
Whether you just need a little extra assistance to help you through an endeavor or you need a total change in your life; with a strong blessing behind you, many things you thought were out of reach will fall easily into your hands. It is very effective if conducted before an important business deal or when facing litigation. 

Extinguish Disaster
This dharma rite is often requested to provide comfort through spriritual healing for hospital patients, those in surgeries, etc.

Assist the Deceased
The passing of loved ones can be one of the most difficult challenges we face in our lives. The sense of peace our funerary services provide will radiate to the entire family and friends. The attachments the deceased had in this life are released as the spirit gently moves on to the next world. Read More... Testimonial

" Healing the Mafia boss’s broken leg "

Dari Rulai Temple Los Angeles

In the Chinese traditional calendar, today would be considered the last day of the year. What that means, tomorrow on the Chinese calendar is the first day of spring. Yesterday the yantras swallowing was for everyone to no longer associate with or attract any kind of illness or disease. The result is that many of these come to me. I figure in a few days I will be able to endure and it will be over. My hope is that everyone will take the time to really practice the dharma. Since I already revealed so much, then I might as well repeat it again for you. This time there will be a flu, a lot of people from the ages of 25- 45 will die. It’s a worldwide scale. I will tell you roughly 60 million. That number is roughly the same number of people who died in world war. Any kind of flu shot or antidote, it’s not going to work. The flu is only the cause that will lead to other things. But you still need to take care even though you have swallowed the yantras. You may still catch a cold, but you… are O.K. from dying from it. Even if you catch the cold and don’t die from it, you may still have to pay a lot of price and suffer through it.

I hope everyday, whether you are sitting, standing, walking, or lying down always remember, don’t forget this: Chant any mantra you like in your mind all the time. If you always occupy your mind with the mantras, you will not dwell on other wandering thoughts. Remember, the right mind is where the place of awareness is. So what is the right mind? That really means, what you say and what you think are alike. There’s no difference. Don’t think one thing and say another thing. So many people are, because of their own selfishness… whatever they think about, and whatever they say, and whatever they do, all 3 things are different. They are not alike at all.

For those who do swallow the yantras, this time I will tell you, the teachings force you to become Buddhas, and that will be the basics, that you have to swallow the yantras first. As long as you are my disciple, in this lifetime, if you don’t attain enlightenment or awaken, in this lifetime, then you will be a dirt poor farmer for 3 lifetimes. After that, you will be a monk for 6 lifetimes. Then you will awaken. I tell you this to make you really want to do your best, put in all your effort so you can awaken this time. You make your effort now, and you become a Buddha, then you will not have to go through the other 9 lifetimes. You have to practice or change yourself to the point that we describe as, on your outside your appearance is a circle, you are well rounded, but inside is a square, that you still have strict discipline. On the outside on appearance you are always able to work with everyone, there are no angles toward anybody. Inside is a square, meaning you are really clear, you know exactly who has done what and who is thinking what.

You know how you write the doors of hell? On this side are written; good, good, good: on the other opposing side is written; bad, bad, bad: on top going across is; whatever it will be, will be.

Even though today most people will have doubts, but they have no sense really what is right or wrong. So many people have no sense what is right or wrong at all, but still they feel that they know something or they may…say, “Nagarjuna Bodhisattva taught the middle view, therefore I am always in the middle, and I don’t take sides.”…Whatever you say with your mouth, that’s saying, “I am taking the middle path, seeing the middle view.” That’s what you say, but your actions say otherwise, you still don’t know, you are still going toward the extreme. Either you are good, good, good, or you are the other extreme, bad, bad, bad.

Tomorrow we will begin to teach the mantra: Divine Transformation. Starting tomorrow, we will need to chant this mantra 600 times each day. If you were to chant 1000 times a day, and you have to finish 100,000 times of this chant, how many days will it take you? I will require you, continuously, every time; spare time you have… your mind should be thinking this mantra and chanting all the time. Once you achieve, finish this many chants of this Great Divine Transformation Mantra, then I will teach you the four different changes, four different transformations to this one. Then you will be able to do, whatever. There will be nothing in this world able to stop you. Let me say this, you must memorize all the mantras from the first lists, the 33 mantras. If you cannot even memorize all those mantras, you may be chanting this for a million times, it still will not work. If you don’t be so nosy, trying to take care of … none of your business, then you should put that time and energy into chanting the mantra.

In 1993, a company called Hua Shin, a grain and Oil Company, the head of that company came to see me. I heard about his name, and I sensed that he was kind of like… maybe one of those scoundrels. After I had prescribed medicine for him, he said, “Even though everything you said about my past was correct, I still don’t believe all those things.” I told him, “Whatever you want to believe is up to you, but when June of 1996 comes, you will figure it out yourself.” He asked, “What can I see, what can I figure out?” I hold him, “#1 in June, this will be a chance for you to make a lot of money, also, a chance for you to make yourself right, a chance for you to do good for people. I told him, “#1 if you take this opportunity to make a lot of money for you, you will be shot. #2 you may be able to help a lot of people, but you are taking advantage by doing that, and you will be sentenced. #3 if you take this opportunity to do the right thing to accumulate merits, not only will people not forget you, but you will end up as the mayor.” Then he asked, “What will happen in June?” I told him, “I cannot tell you that.”

Just about when he stood to leave he took out a stash of cash and said, “Master, this is for you, or, perhaps you don’t want it.” I told him, “Since you already took out the money and showed it to me, if you put it back in your pocket, you will have a car accident. If you don’t put it back in your pocket, just go put it, send it off to some temple.”

Now of course, he didn’t believe all these sorts of things, so he put the money back in his pocket and went off with his friends to a restaurant. Three days later, he called me and told me they were about to return back to their headquarters. On the way back there they passed by around a place in Beijing, they ran into a …car accident, and he lost one of the legs. So he broke one of his legs, and part of his jaw, and they put a screw in here, and this pinky finger was completely gone, lost. He was in the hospital. On the 4th day after the surgery he was able to talk and he called me. I said, “Mr.… where are you?” He said, “I am in Beijing, in the hospital.” I said, “Didn’t you go home?” He said,” I got one of my legs broke. I can’t go home now.” He asked a question,” Is that because you have foreseen all this, predicted? Or is it because you have put a jinx on me?” I told him, “Think whatever you like, but it will be your business.” He asked, “How long will it take to heal my leg?” I asked him, “How fast do you wish to be healed?” He said, “How about today, can you do it?” I said, “Very simple. It’s very easy. Have one of your guys… the last time you showed me a stash of the cash, 50 times of that amount, take them to the Palace of Harmony, and get a receipt and bring it to me. When I see the receipt, then you will be able to step out of your bed and walk.” He asked me, “Do you realize how much I have to give to the Palace of Harmony?” I said “Of course I do.” He said, “If you are able to tell me the exact amount, I will believe you.” I said, “$600,000.” He said, “how do you know?’ I said, “That stack of cash you took out and showed me, that was $12,000 right there. Times 50, that’s $600.000”

He was a northern Chinese, a Manchurian. Some times his talk was very blunt,…street like. He said, “So you are really a …Dad.” A compliment, like a big Daddy who knows everything. He said, “If I send the money to the Palace of Harmony and I do not get well…” I said, “Very Simple, that means you have not freed all your bad karma yet.” He said, “O.K., so I will give it a try, but if this doesn’t work, then I will not be very nice to you any more.” Because he came out on a business trip, he had a lot of lady assistants with him… they pulled all the money together and sent it to the Palace of Harmony. Chinese society is much different that American. Here, in the U.S. if you were a millionaire or a billionaire, if you want them to cough up that kind of cash in a few hours, sometimes it’s kind of hard. But in China, if you want them to cough up a couple hundred grand of cash right away, … can do it. Those of you who went to China, doing the change of money into RMB, I just picked up the phone and made a call to a disciple, and they brought the cash right over. If you were to call a big boss of a corporation here and tell him you need $200,000 in the next hour, most of them will not be able to do that. In China, within 3 hours I will be able to move a few, ten or twenty million of cash.

They took the money to the Palace of Harmony, and took the receipt and paid me a visit. This guy’s name, Mr.…. I still have this name in my book. I looked at the receipt then I called the hospital, I told him, “Your dog leg is already connected, get off the bed and walk.” … Chinese, sometimes they are very brave in this kind of situation, especially for those scoundrel types of people. They don’t care much about…he just jumped right out and started walking. Of course southern Chinese and northern Chinese are different to. Southern Chinese sometimes are pretty devious, and they play a lot of tricks, double talk and stuff like that. Northern Chinese sometimes are pretty up front and blunt. Compared to the southern Chinese who are more devious, the northern Chinese if they say something, they will keep their word, their word is good. If they are unable to do it, they will do whatever, they will still want to save their face and keep their word. Southern Chinese… if you say we are going to meet somewhere at 2:00 at this place, he’s going to be there at 2:00 sharp or before that. He’s going to wait and wait, if you don’t show up he is still going to wait there.

So Mr.…. jumped out of the bed and stomped his feet a few times and realized he could really walk. Of course the nurse was saying, “Don’t move around, get back into bed and lay down.” He didn’t even pay attention to them, he just opened the door, walked right out and called a taxi and headed to my headquarters to see me. Once he arrived at my headquarters, he didn’t say a word; he just knelt down, threw his body on the ground and bowed to me. He said, “I bow to you, not to bow to you as my master, I bow to you as my big brother.” Big brother, that’s mafia talk. “are my big brother now,” I said, “The big brother, the #1, I don’t think I can be that, because I was born #4 in my family, I am still the #4 brother. The other day if you would have sent that stash of cash to the temple, you already would have returned home.” He said, “Then these kind of things, are they really the truth? Are you able to be so correct all the time?” He asked,” Can you teach me how to do all these things?” I said, “of course, but there is one condition, you have to kneel and bow to me three times again, and you have to bow to me as your Master. You see that I am a vegetarian, then you have to be a vegetarian with me for three years, and you have to send all your ladies home.” He said, “I cannot bow to you as my Master…I still can recognize you as my big brother because I cannot do without women, and meat…. When do you think will be the best time for me to go home?” I said “the day after tomorrow.” He said,” I will take you out to lunch today.” I said, “No need to, Just go.”

August of ’96 he came again. When he came…he was still the same. He entered the door, and didn’t say anything and knelt, bowed first and called me big brother. I said to him, “Not big brother, #4 brother.” After he had bowed, I told him, “You will be unable to escape the law.” Of course, he had a lot of bodyguards with him. If I were to say this then they got scared, like maybe there is some situation going on, they put all their hands in their pockets, there were guns in there. I told him, “If you believe in my words, then right now take your men, go find a very quiet out of nowhere place and go rest. 9:00 in the evening I will go look you up and we will talk.” He said, “what if I don’t return home?” I said, “If you don’t go back, you will lose everything. And you will live for another 40 minutes, and then you will die.”

Anybody who has guts, if they realize they will die in 40 minutes, they will begin to sweat. They don’t know much, but only those with wisdom clearly know everything. The mundane person is like a rat in a maze, you have a lot of desire, and you think you are so smart, you think you can do all these things and make it happen, but you are already in a maze… all your desire, you are running in a corridor like a rat. You never get anywhere with it.

Of course, a mundane person, you learn all this kind of knowledge, knowledge is good. But if you are not awakened, then knowledge is its side effect, you don’t realize it, it will only limit you. The one with wisdom clearly knows everything. He knows exactly who and what and how and so on everything. But he will not show off, he will just pretend he doesn’t know much and keep his mouth shut and go on about his own business. When you were born, and when you will die is carved right on your face, it’s the words written on your face that tells the day you will die.

If you look at the forehead, and it’s written on there, this is a young person, and then you cannot help him. Whatever your life span or whatever wealth you have, this was already determined from your past lifetime. When you will die, this is also predetermined. Let me say, about 30% of the people will be able to change. To change means, whether your lifespan or your wealth, either you can accumulate or you can waste it. Accumulating…what this means? It means you do a lot of merits or virtues, you help a lot of people, and that’s how your lifespan will extend itself. You will have wealth coming your way, but not seeking wealth, but by helping others. What do I mean by wasting it? Wasting it for your own selfish motives, for your own personal reasons, that you take advantage of the situation of the other people to accumulate wealth for yourself or whatever benefits you can bring your own way, and then you are wasting your own merits, wasting your own virtue. Then you will shorten your lifespan, and you will actually lose wealth.

Now if you have the right idea, when you are doing this with pure motive, you want to really help and save a lot of people, not for yourself. Then not only you will not die from all this, your dharma power will actually increase many fold. Your luck will even be better and better, because you always feel you have a mission, you must not go yet, and you have to finish your mission. Some people’s life spans are so short. They come to this lifetime and die and a very young age.

Think about it, we are watching a movie, or a show. Of course, whether a movie or a show, we always say there is a hero or heroine of this play, and there are those who are just participating. They just kind of show their face once and awhile and that’s it, they are not the real actors and actresses for this show. Now if this movie is about the life of a person, think about it, your own lifetime in a movie, except for a few main characters, the rest of them, just a flash of their face and that’s it…this movie, this one face may first appear from one side of the screen like this, and disappear. That’s it, a few seconds and it’s gone.

Do you not realize, the world, the human world is really a big stage. Everyone is playing their part in it. This kind of knowledge or understanding about life, if you know more, perhaps it will help you to attain awareness quicker. If you want to … the play on the stage, not to disappear so fast, then you have to kiss up to the director (laughter). Of course, if you want to live a long life and have good luck, then you have to kiss up to the lord of hell. Let me put it very simply, every ignorant person…mundane people, they are all ruled by the lord of hell. They don’t go to heaven. I already taught you a technique to deal with the lord of hell if you remember. If you still remember raise your hand. If you don’t remember raise your hand. Maybe this is because of cultural difference, you didn’t catch on…Do you know who is the boss of the ruler of hell? He was, this boss, his superior is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. You already know Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas mantra… Then the lord of hell will have to … to you. Did I not teach you this before? The mantra? See, if you know this mantra, the lord of hell will be scared of you, because now you are the superior.

Now do you realize what I mean by…awareness? Knowing what’s going on? Many of these things I don’t have to tell you. If you realize what Ksitigarbha means, he stays in hell… is superior to everyone there. You should realize many of these… already just by the names of the mantras. If you want to think, that’s how you think. Don’t think about all this other nonsense, think about… you have already learned so much, why is it that you do not pay attention and think about what this really means? That’s now a person really thinks… clearly, and pay detailed attention to the things he has been exposed to, and he remembers well, and he understands what this is for. It’s already in front of your eyes, and you look at it, you still don’t know. You are looking at it, its right there…

All these lectures I gave you about Buddhist knowledge, the more of these lectures you hear, and then you begin to think differently, you will not think like before. Now your thinking becomes like this, now you will begin to have wisdom. Others do not think that way at all… you begin to think differently. We cannot say, here is a cup… what is a cup really, any kind of container we can call it a cup. Isn’t the same principle… a lake? A lake is a giant cup. …If you can realize,,, this way to the point you understand, what a drip of water in relation.. enters the vast ocean. Then you understand then you enter into the third stage of Zen.

Why is that some type of vegetables, if you were to grow them if different regions, then they will taste different? How do we grasp all and everything that receives the essence, energy from heaven and earth, from everything else around it in relation to everything… how is it that we do not grasp this and understand the principle how they all come about? All and everything in the universe, whether animal, plant, mineral or anything, they exist, they come to this manifestation or existence by receiving the essence of heaven and earth, by receiving energy from the sun and moon, that’s how they came to be. How does it receive and accept all these essence of energies in relation to everything around it?

If you can grasp to this rhythm of nature, you begin to have wisdom. If you are able to understand all this… really grasp to this point, and then you will realize it’s a shame to be a scientist. They don’t know any of these things. If the scientists would do their research to understand this very truth of nature; everything comes into existence by receiving the essence of heaven and earth, by accepting this energy from the sun and the moon. Then you realize a person can be doing this, and perhaps he doesn’t need to eat at all. If you don’t have to eat so much you don’t have to drink so much, you don’t require so much, then naturally you will have much less desire. The lesser desire you have, the calmer your mind and your heart will be. The calmer it is then the healthier you will be and the longer you will live. Today I told you all these things.

If you think back through the talk today, from the beginning until now, you will realize this is about Zen practice. Entering into that stage of Zen… Always remember, Zen practice is not about sitting there and meditating trying to get into that state. Zen is about awareness, how to really raise your level of awareness higher to realize many of these simple truths right in front of your eyes already. Even though you have eyes you are already blind. Zen is only attained by realization. It is never attained by sitting there, why do I talk about this kind of knowledge? We will gradually advance to more advanced stuff and Zen practices really basic lessons in the esoteric practice. About Zen practice I already told you, that’s it. Very simple. I will repeat it a few more times to improve your memory so you can remember better and more completely… you realize many of these things are about common sense. If you realize about the principles of Zen then you will not, like a lot of people spending a lot of money going to a Zen center learning all this kind of stuff…

Starting today, everyday I will give a talk about the different steps of Zen practice and how you can attain realization. I have discovered recently, your basic knowledge, basic understanding is very poor. At the same time we are learning and practicing these more advanced dharma techniques I will also need to fill in all this basic knowledge for you. This way you can grab some of this knowledge but always remember, don’t be limited by the side effects of all this kind of knowledge, so you can actually attain understanding.

Any great accomplishment, you have to put in real effort, real hard work. Wednesday I will start teaching the full prostrations, that’s also a body guardian practice. That’s why today we will need to move all the tables to the side and shampoo the carpet to we have room to do this. In case if we don’t shampoo the carpet, some people will bow on the carpet, you may smell sticky feet smells. I don’t refer to your sticky feet; my feet are very stinky so I don’t want you to smell… Because I have the habit,… I don’t wash for a year. I don’t wash my face for a long time, people ask, “Why don’t you wash or face?” I tell them, “I have no face to wash.” It takes quite a while to build up this kind of natural grease on your face, if you were to wash it away… such a waste. I’m just joking with you, you do have to wash your face, otherwise… what I am talking about, this kind of Zen practice, don’t take any notes.

Pay attention. The only way you are going to realize anything, is listen with all the details, pay full attention. That’s how you attain realization. Only when you really listen to and you realize it, are you able to digest what you hear. If you really grasp what Zen is about and realize this, then it will be beneficial whether in your work or in your life. It will also be very beneficial to your health, your body. By then, perhaps James, you will be the best so far, not only do you know how to make nuclear bombs, but you will also know how to destroy them. Then, if you really know how to destroy then, like snapping your fingers, then you can really save a lot of people.
