Galloping into 2014 with Powerful Luck through Metaphysical & Spiritual Methods


I was thinking of skipping this year's article on boosting luck, as past 2 year's information is more than enough for anyone. And also due to my overwhelming schedule, I can barely find the moment.
Thanks to my sister and die-hard yinyang journal readers who kept on requesting that I need to share real information for 2014.
Here are how this article is written up. 1st & 2nd Section, no matter what religious background you have, it will still benefit you. 3rd and 4th section are Taoist and Buddhist methods of increasing your luck.
  1. 1st will be sharing with you on instant boost luck method of Qi Men Dun Jia. How to boost your luck in the first 5 days of Chinese New Year. 

  2. 2nd will be what colour to wear so that you don't go in opposite direction against the Qi of the day. 

  3. 3rd will be which Taoist Deities to request for Blessings and Boost of Luck in the 2014 Horse Year

  4. 4th will be Power Pack Timeless Information to Boost your Luck


1. Boosting Luck with Qi Men Dun Jia 奇门遁甲升运法

This method is based on Qi Men Dun Jia calculation, so you will be informed on the direction to travel on 1 – 5 day of Chinese New Year, and by travelling on the specific direction to a destination, you will be acquiring a boost of luck for about 14 days if done correctly.

I have been teaching Qi Men Dun Jia -QMDJ 奇門遁甲 globally for the past 8 years. In fact I am the first one in the world to teach a systematic QMDJ in English.

What is QMDJ? It is the ancient science of timing. When and where in the 8 direction of the compass that is currently having the optimum Qi that you can tap. In ancient times it is used mainly in warfare, when, where to attack and when and where to retreat your troops. Information that is been exclusively reserved for high ranking generals. Does China still use it today? Definitely, all rocket/satellite launches in China space program exclusively uses QMDJ calculation to select an optimum timing for their launch. (if this 3 paragraph looks familiar, it is..because I have to cut and paste from last year intro of this subject)

 
Travelling for Optimum Luck During Chinese New Year Period

Day 1 of CNY – Travel NorthEast start journey from 9am and before 11am
Day 2 of CNY – Travel NORTH start journey from 9am and before 11am
Day 3 of CNY – Travel EAST start journey from 9am and before 11am
Day 4 of CNY – Travel NORTH start journey from 9am and before 11am
Day 5 of CNY
(Real day of entering into 甲午Horse Year) Travel NORTH start journey from 1pm and before 3pm

So how do you use it precisely? When I Travel NorthEast for example, it means you need to take out your Iphone, Android, Tablet or even on PC (googlemaps) check your interactive maps. Check which location is the NorthEast from your home. Using your home as the reference point and your destination must be NorthEast from your home, in this example.


You can draw a straight line, don't worry about the actual road requires you to turn left or right. The important factor is starting point, destination and the ending location from your home.

Your destination point must be at least 5km or MORE from your home via car.

Then some might as is QMDJ a Taoist Method? Earliest record of QMDJ was that it was passed down to the Yellow Emperor 黃帝 by Goddess of the 9 Heavens 九天玄女 to defeat ChiYou蚩尤.

2. Lucky Colour to Wear


While you are travelling to the location, what colour should you wear? I have listed here also the lucky colour for the first 4 days of CNY

Day 1 – Light Blue, Green, Beige
Day 2 – Light Blue, Green, Beige
Day 3 – Red, Maroon, Orange, Pink, Brown, Yellow
Day 4 – Red, Maroon, Orange, Pink, Brown, Yellow
Day 5 - The real day of New Year - it is a very strong Fire Day. For those that knows you need Fire Element - Red, Maroon, Orange, Pink. The rest of the crowd is Brown, Yellow, Beige.

Some people have the idea that since 甲午 year is a Wood Horse year, therefore Fire generate Earth, which means that good colour to wear is Brown, Yellow and Beige. The year itself is too far away from the day, although the effect of the year lingers throughout, it will not be powerful enough to effect what you wear on the day.
Since this article is about Taoist Method to increase luck during the CNY period. Taoist method will not be complete if I am not mentioning which Deities to request for luck and how to go about it.

3. Taoist Deities to Request for Blessings and Boost of Luck

Increase of luck can also be done through REQUEST with specific Deities in Taoism. Base on your Chinese Zodiac sign, there is a specific deities within the Taoist pantheon that is responsible to 'look after' you for this particular year. Therefore you have to ask in the right places. Below are the list on which Taoist Deity to request for an increase in luck for HORSE Year. This yearly chart is produced by Kam Dong San Temple, Penang. http://www.facebook.com/kdspg

4. POWER Pack timeless information to boost your luck

1. Preparation before Request for Boost of Luck from Deities

Before going to the temple during Chinese New Year period, the most important is to do some preparation. Which means the body must be clean, from an aura perspective.

How to achieve this? Many methods, but the most simple method is to take a 'flower shower'. You must have at least 7 or 9 types of different flowers to mix into the water, and White Lily must be included.
  1. Put all the flowers into a clean pail and put half cold and half warm water into it.
  2. Just about to finish your shower, take water from the pail and pour from your head and let it trickle until your toes.
  3. Then use clean towel to wipe body dry.

     
If you want the cleansing to be more effective and you do have Guan Yin statues at your home, after chanting of at least 9 times of Da Bei Zhou 大悲咒 Great Compassionate Dharani Mantra on the water. Request from Guan Yin for the water to be use to cleanse your body. Then you can pour the cup of water to the pail with flowers.

 

 
  
2. Charity. Most of the time when a person tries to increase their luck through spiritual means, they will encounter obstacles or difficult to complete the required practice. This has to do with the person's individual merit in their destiny. Just like borrowing from a bank, everyone has their credit rating. If you don't consistently increase your merits, you will definitely encounter no result when you try to achieve it through spiritual means. Charity of any kind is a good start to increase your luck, once you increase your capacity for good luck, it will be easier to ask for divine intervention!

3. Sponsor a Buddhist or Taoist statue in temple. Sponsoring of statue in temple is like a fixed deposit that keeps on growing. Because as long as the statue is in the temple, and it is benefiting others through its image or inherent spiritual energy, parts of the merits will go to you. Sponsoring of big statues are difficult because not everyone has the first hand information in order for you to contribute your share. Therefore sponsoring even a small statue that will be place in a temple is a good way to keep the flow of good luck to you.

 
4. Feng Shui ready your house and office. Living and working in harmony with the surrounding energy of your home and office is one way to increase your luck. Using the environment energy to suit your own destiny make up is like a plane flying with a strong tail wind, you will arrive at whatever goals you set much faster, easier and effortless.

 
5.Before knowing how to live in harmony with your environment, you must first able to know what are your own personal cycles and timing. Check your Destiny through a good analyst, find when you should go all the way, and when to just lay low is winning more than half of the game in your individual destiny.

6. This method is long and tedious for some, but it works. Chant specific Buddhist mantra in thousands or millions – it will definitely help eliminate your past baggage of bad merit.
 
Wishing Everyone - A Happy and Prosperous Horse Year - 祝大家新年进步!,万事如意!,心想事成!

Values in the context of Buddhism PART 2 of 2


 

When you have the idea that VALUES are actually driving us in doing the things we do. You can then change VALUES, hence changing your beliefs about those VALUES and changing your behaviour towards things/people and anything that you come into contact with in your reality.


This explains why someone who love to eat meat, may suddenly becomes a full time vegetarian. Many type of experiences could have contributed to it. For example, they develop certain health issues and decided to become vegetarian, because they value HEALTH more than personal food satisfaction in their VALUES hierarchy.

Whereas for some people, they may have terminal disease, but would not even consider changing their diets. For this type of people, they would usually say “If I could not eat what I wanted to eat, life would be meaningless”. You can then know that they VALUE the taste of food more than survival itself. Because they have a high VALUE that Life Must be Meaningful. And for that to happen, they have a governing belief inside their head that says ' eating what you want to eat at any time is giving my life its meaning'.

Literally they would rather die than not being able to eat what they want to eat. BUT this beliefs about achieving the VALUE of Life Must be Meaningful is not helping them in this situation. You want to know a big secret? They also don't know that they have such damaging beliefs, sometime they pick it up when they are small and don't understand much. Yet slowly it becomes an important part of their life. If they are able to change their beliefs from Life Must be Meaningful WHEN I am able to spend more healthy times with my love ones – IMMEDIATELY this person can change their diet preferences with no regrets, hang ups or any chances of reverting back to their original way. All it takes is a shift of beliefs to fulfill the VALUES that they hold.

Now comes the ultimate question, how do we view VALUES in the context of Buddhism. Buddha in his ultimate quest towards reaching enlightenment, is about how humans can be free of suffering and be happy.

Teachings of Buddha often mention how humans create suffering for themselves by clinging on towards what is not real in their emotions and also physical things that we view as permanent.

If we are ask enough questions to find out about a person's high VALUE and what it ultimately means to them. We will often discover one common word and emotion. And that is being HAPPY.

For example, when you ask a person who has a high VALUE on MONEY in their life, what does it mean to have money in your life? They would answer something like ' so that I can feel secure', 'I can do whatever I want , with whomever I want, at any place I want' , ' so I can be free' . Then if you probe further, 'What does it mean to be free? ' What does it mean when you can feel that sense of security?' What does it mean to be able to do all these things?' Finally they would say that ' then I would feel truly happy!'

Buddhism mentioned that all sentient beings wants to be happy and to be free of suffering. And Buddhism went a step further.

For all the VALUES that you may have and fulfilling those values, some of it are base of a 'false' perception. VALUES and BELIEFS based on material things, ability to evoke emotions, and people will not make a person happy forever. They will ultimately be causes of suffering for you. Because life itself is impermanent, material things, emotions and people will also one day be lost through time or separation upon your own death.


Because of the existence of Karma and Reincarnation, you may have already experience many lifetimes as many different people with different values. And because of attachments towards those various false perceptions, the mind takes on reincarnation again and again in hope to search for something that provides ultimate happiness. But each time, we view those material things, people, emotions as the source of our happiness, those in the end will become our suffering and hence the cycle is unending.


To be free of suffering and be happy, one would need to realized that the unending cycle itself is emptiness. Emptiness here does not mean that it does not exist, but realizing the sense of meaningless of attaching to things that are not permanent if we look at it from across many lifetimes.

Then you may ask what are the VALUES of Buddhism? Reducing attachments towards all things, in this sense even reducing attachment towards the SELF. Without the SELF, there is no EGO, hence no attachment of any kind. Meaning, SELFLESSNESS is one of the higher VALUE in Buddhism. Why Selflessness? Because when we don't think about the SELF, thinking about the happiness of others, the welfare of others, then Compassion develops naturally and happiness is realized automatically.

Buddhism encourages as human beings, we need to collect more merits, do more good deeds in order to have the wisdom to realized full Selflessness. Collecting merits and do good deeds itself is an exercise towards being selfless. It is those merits from the good deeds, that propels each rebirth to have a much better chance of realizing the Values of Buddhism and finally being able to achieve Enlightenment 

Values in the Context of Buddhism, needs a person to have a realization of how values actually governs our life. And whether those values and beliefs are actually giving the real happiness that we seek for not only in this life but in all our future lives as well. To check on what are our current values, whether they are aligned towards being more selfless or actually our current value is aligned towards the self. If it is aligned towards the self, we can never achieve lasting happiness. As most likely it is only temporary.

A lot of people go through life, behaving the way they behave without actually knowing what are the things that are driving them. They often think, it is their birth 'gift' which sometimes can be a curse in disguise. The important realization to have, is that we all have the power to change our values and beliefs. Nobody is a victim of circumstances, all are only victims of their own values and beliefs!

My short article here on VALUES and also BUDDHISM will never be extensive enough for you to know all about it, but if reading through this article creates enough curiosity in you to start searching for answers, then I would have achieve what I set out to write. And most likely it is written for you.

May you be Happy !

Values in the context of Buddhism PART 1 of 2



This article was inspired by a dream I have had on 25 November 2013 morning. In my dream I was teaching a class of students on Values and their important in change. When class was about to be over, one student asked me a question " How do you explain Values in Context of Buddhism ?". That's a good question I answered, and this is what that have been explained in the dream.....strange?
Value is a broad and deep subject for me to be writing and in the context of Buddhism, just almost never crossed my mind. However I gave a lecture in my dream, and before I woke up, I heard an inner voice that tells me I need to write this up. This is a 2 part blog, as the subject I am trying to explain does take more words than usual.


What is personal Values? Values are the driving force that governs your every thought and behaviour. What you personally deem as important, not important in your life. Each person raise in human society will slowly grow up to 'value' certain things/ thoughts or behaviour in which the person will recognize as important.

These Values serve as the filter in our existence in everyday life. Everyday there are millions of events happening simultaneously around us from the most minute bodily function to the gross change of the weather surrounding us. Our brain definitely cannot and will not take in ALL the information that is happening. Therefore our brain will only selectively FILTER out what is important to us. That is crucial for our survival, or else we will go mad in even few minutes of trying to comprehending all that is happening around us.

Our SUBCONSCIOUS mind is already handling our bodily function, from how many times your heart is supposed to be pumping to distributing all the nutrients in your body and more.


So where does VALUES comes in? VALUES are the pre-programmed prime importance that we have given our brain to lead our daily lives. Most of our actions are checked by our own subconscious on whether it is fulfilling those VALUES or detracting us away from the VALUES that we have.


For example, a person will UNCONSCIOUSLY have the values hierachy of

  1. Love
  2. Money
  3. Family Relationship
  4. Health
  5. Serving the community

So for this person, he (presuming its a male) will find it very difficult to have time to exercise. He does not understand why? He keep telling friends and family members that he knows the important of good health but somehow there is not any time in his life to do it. Or somehow he cannot start.


If you look at his value list, you can instantly know why. Health is ranked number 4 in what he view is important in his life. Therefore, getting signal that he is loved, earning enough money (whatever the amount) and good family relationship are more important than health. Therefore no wonder he cannot find time to exercise.

Because each VALUES will have certain criteria that is already set by his UNCONSCIOUS mind of what needs to happen in order for that value to be viewed as fulfilled. WHAT IF his Love Value has a condition that he must do activities together with his spouse in order to fulfill this LOVE value?

Presuming if the spouse have a Health Value of no 10 in her list. Then what are the chances of this person being able to start even a simple exercise routine?

Exercise is definitely not in the Value list...

The most amazing part of VALUES are that MOST people go through life, behaving the way that the behaving, making the decisions that they make WITHOUT every realizing WHY they do it.
It is because, most people don't ever sit down and sort out what is the thing that they VALUE in life. Therefore they picked up VALUES that sometimes may not be valuable any more with their present life condition. For example, if a person that grows up economically deprived (poor) in a bad neighbourhood, as he/she grew, they picked the value of the need to be recognized/respected by others. And when they looked around the neighbourhood, they adopted the beliefs that in order to fulfill this value, I must have luxurious items to show my status in society and among friends.

This person will then have No 1 or No 2 Value in life and Recognized/Respected. So their behaviour will constantly seek out to buy luxurious item, branded items even at the expense of bursting their credit cards to fulfill his/her beliefs that the owning of the product needs to happen to fulfill the Value of being Recognized and Respected.

Friends and society, who does not understand this, will then view them and insane, slaves to branded products etc.

Each and everyone of us have a VALUE list in our UNCONSCIOUS mind that is governing our behaviour. Our behaviour are also attune to our BELIEFS system which governs our every thought in handling and fulfilling the conditions that are in it. Once the conditions are fulfilled, then we will think that we are in 'congruent' (your are aligned with your purpose in life) with our VALUES. And when we are in congruent, finally we will FEEL satisfied, complete and HAPPY.

Can Beliefs and Values change? Definitely. As most people does not consciously find out their beliefs and values. Most changes happen after strong experiences in life, traumatic events such as death of loved ones or strong realization of a need to change.

Hence most of the time, you will see people setting New Year Resolution, Goal Setting that never seems to happen. It is because their Beliefs and Values does not change, therefore the behaviour is unable to be congruent with their resolution and goals. It is just that simple.

TESTIMONIAL : A Call for Help....

Last year December, one of my foreign students message me for help. As his mum was diagnosed with psychiatric problem.

He immediately sent over his mum BaZi (date of birth and time) and I looked through and advised him on Feng Shui allocation. I have also advised him to do Fish Liberation for his mum. After few weeks, he informed me he sensed something wrong with his mum, not only physically but also spiritually. He sent over his mum's photo.

In my meditative stabilization, I confirmed that his mum had some entity attached to her. After I have drawn some talisman for his mum, in that very same night, I had dreams of 2 caucasian person trying to harm me in the dream. I was retreating in the dream into some store and they are trailing me and a few people that I was helping to escape from these 2 person.

It is a very strong sign, because before this, it has been a very very long time since I have dreams of people trying to harm me, what's more caucasian person.

Anyhow when he received the talisman, he did burn 1 talisman each night for her mum to ingest. And the effect quickly verified that there was entity attached to her mum.

After about 1 year, finally I have received good news from him this week. His mum has fully recovered, with help of traditional Chinese Medicine, chanting dedication for her mum and also fish liberation. And here is his testimonial for our Kam Dong San Temple. Join Us in our next liberation and also temple activities. http://www.facebook.com/kdspg

He requested that the testimonial remain as anonymous. All details can be verified with email communication and progress details.

TESTIMONIAL
 My experience with Kam Dong San temple support.
------In December 2012, my mother quickly lost her mind, and some of her physical abilities. After 10 days spent in hospital, they couldn’t find anything and electro-shock therapy was recommended to “cure” her. She is in her 70ies with no psychiatric history, so this suggestion was very painful. I was convinced that she was victim of a transient stroke, but no traces were found. 

Revolted against the Western approach to her case, I took on my own to design her treatment. I ordered some supplements, gave her some B-12 shots every week, sent her for acupuncture and also found a real, traditional doctor in Chinese medicine in the UK. Not the “reformed” Chinese medicine, but the traditional one: this guy follows the Hunyuan school and use strong herbs, that were shipped to us every week. As I practise traditional Feng Shui through the tutelage of Master Ham, I was relieved to find someone with a traditional approach.
For the spiritual part, I dedicated the next 6 months of animal liberation donations to her recovery. 

I also, every day, practiced the compassion mantras that Master Ham advises me to do. Moreover, Master Ham sent me some talismans as we suspected a case of spirit possession (she had depressive tendencies).  

The talismans experience was very telling: she never knew she was taking them as the ashes (talisman burned) were mixed with some medicine every night. But one night after the 4th or 5th talisman she complained that her stomach was burning and made some weird screams, for hours. She was very agitated and my father and I had to restrain her. She was also always taking the thunder wood necklace off her neck.

During the 6 months of treatments she made constant progresses.
Now to this date she has totally recovered, which is astonishing: and she is a much more positive person, laughing, with a good stamina, and getting along well with my dad. Before they used to argue all the time…
I am convinced that it was important to treat both the physical and the spiritual parts. The case was heavy. Through my karma, I have this connection with Chinese culture: a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine came to me, and the Kam Dong San temple helped me too. The reactions I noticed after some talismans and the effects I saw sometimes after the animal liberations were no fluke. 
I am very grateful for the recovery of my mother and I know the spiritual work of the Kam Dong San temple and Master Ham were a big part of it. May we all continue this good karmic work.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of the case :- March 2014

My student notified me that her mum had some relapse again after she recovered, she was hospitalized. They found that she had meningitis. She has also lost her ability to walk.

When my student informed me on the relapse, I immediately asked him whether he continued chanting Mantra for his mum. He has cut down the chanting to once day. I have advised him to continue to chant and dedicate to his mother.

Spirit possession almost all the time related to karmic problems in previous and current life. Talisman will delay and hold the retribution, but as long as the problems are not solved at the root level, it will continue to manifest itself after a period of time.

As of end of March, I was informed that his mother is recovering but still cannot walk....

Heavenly Wealth or Earthly Wealth ?

On this year's Zhao Gong Ming Xuan Tan 趙公明玄壇 Celebration (God of Wealth). One of my Taoist Disiple, Fa Hong have requested for God of Wealth Statue to his office for the whole year.
A few weeks after that, when I met him at the temple. He told me that his shop neighbour, told him God of Wealth from the Heaven are not as powerful. Those Earth bound God of Wealth are more giving and will give more compare to God of Wealth from Heaven.

What they are referring to Earth bound God of Wealth are actually Death Marshals.
They have many names but their work task is the same which is to bring those who have pass on to where ever they are suppose to be. Their primary task is actually not to distribute or help those who need wealth, but somehow people feel that these Marshals are more approachable compared to the Heavenly Deities.

Actual Earth Bound God of Wealth is known as Earth God. We have regional earth deities, area earth deities and also household earth deities. They are known as 土地神 Tu Di Shen or Di Zhu 地主.
Why are they known as Earth Wealth God. Because they are Earth Bound deities of the area, and usually can help grant some favours or give the person some hints or help in acquiring some extra money, not necessarily wealth.

Now the ultimate question is which one is more GIVING? Earth Bound Deities, help in specific individual matters. For example, if you are working for  a company, and request for help from Earth Bound Deities, if your request is granted, then most likely your boss would increase your salary.

Heaven God of Wealth on the other hand bestow streams of energy. They do not grant outright wealth as the Earth Bound Deities. These streams of light energy are what we know as wisdom energy. Wisdom energy as the name imply increase a person's wisdom.

What's wisdom got to do with money or wealth? It is an idea that sparks of a whole new way of earning money and wealth. All it takes is 1 good idea and that will change the way you see your business or the skills you have. An idea can blossoms in hundreds and perhaps millions of dollars.

So would you rather have a new idea or increase in salary?There is no comparison, as I have inform Fa Hong, it is like comparing an airplane with a car.

In reality however, we all need as much as we can, both from Earth Wealth God and also Heaven Wealth God.

Buddhist with a Mind

On 1 Sept, officially we had our 34th Monthly Fish Liberation event. If including personal liberation,We have been liberating fishes for more than 3 years already.

During our breakfast session with fellow committees after the liberation, James told me his Mrs, Ai Li was criticized by one of her friend who is active member in another Buddhist organization. According to her friend, what we are doing is wrong (fish liberation). He/she said that we are encouraging more people to breed these fishes and capitalize more money from our liberation activities.

If he/she was a non Buddhist, my usual response would be Ah, Uh Huh Really?. BUT this time is different because it is coming from someone who labelled themselves a Buddhist. Sometimes, it is very sad to hear stories of not only 'blind' but mindless Buddhist who make literally 'stupid' statements to show that they are 'holier than thou'.

Yes as I label myself Buddhist,  I too can swear, because it is the only way to get my point across in this case. 

1. ALL sentient beings are equal. Helping humans and saving fishes essentially is the same. All is to train a person in being compassion. If compassion with a filter for different type of beings that is not compassion that is the starting of discrimination.

2. Not saving those fishes, those people will breed less of it. With that logic, society should NOT help any hungry children, people who are ill and those basically located in 3rd world countries. Because according to his/her logic, why not just let them all die, so it is easier. 'Those' people would then learn not to make so many children. If we keep helping those children, we are encouraging them to have more. Is that the line of thought he/she is having?

3. I know the Buddhist organization that he/she is involve in likes to help and raise funds to help kidney patients. Why bother? Those patients should have ate less sugar, salt, drink more water etc. Why raise funds for dialysis machines, you are encouraging people to abuse their kidneys.

Every being rebirth into samsara is due to karma. We are practicing compassion in helping those beings because we know that samsara is suffering, not only we are suffering others are suffering too. It is their karma that they are reborn as fishes, but just because they cannot talk does not mean they don't feel hurt and fear.

All beings wish to be free from harm. And through countless eons of rebirth in samsara, any of this beings could have been our parent or loved ones from previous life. If your mother is being kidnapped today, would you say that giving money to the kidnappers would only encourage them to kidnap more people? Let your mother die to teach those people not to kidnap anymore?

I bet in a swift second, you mind would only be thinking on how to raise money to help your mother instead of all this 'namtok' (Tibetan for mindless self chattering)

It is a very heavy karmic burden to enroll yourself into, when you discourage a person to do merits either for themselves or for others. Any good merits that they fail to do as a result of your speech would be a bad karmic seed you are planting for yourself.

We have liberated more than 8000kgs of fishes about 24,000 fishes so far. Imagine what sort of karmic consequences would a person need to bear if I, personally have listened to these so called 'mindless' Buddhist when we first started 3 years ago?

As a Buddhist we always have to be mindful of body, speech and mind. If your Buddhist teacher have not taught you, I am here to teach you today. Not because I'm holier, but as human to human I don't want to see you suffer further by sowing bad karmic seeds.

As I have told my committee members, not all that wear a monk's robe and have bald head have wisdom. Part of being a Buddhist is about asking the right questions, knowing what is sowing good karmic seeds and bad karmic seeds. The Demon that is most real to many Buddhist are the Divine Child Syndrome. A demon that like to prey on those that think Buddhism will give them status based on their

1. Seniority in a temple or Buddhist organization
2. Close acquaintance to a monk, nun, lama, guru, shifu, rinpoche and what have you.
3. Having done so much practice and chanted how many mantras compare to others
4 Being in a well recognized Buddhist organization
5. Having done so much charity to fellow humans
6. Knowing a lot of Sutras

Because after knowing and done so much, if that has not humbled your ego but in fact increase it, a sure sign for the Demon of Divine Child Syndrome to get you and be a part of you.

May you have some understanding on the importance of Animal Liberation soon....
