親見蓮師恩
林鈺堂
二○○七年九月十四日清晨二時四十三分醒前夢見蓮師。
昨日朝禮五台山之北台無垢文殊殿，臨去前獻哈達於殿上之漢白玉蓮師像，持師心咒上供時，十分感動，因深深體會蓮師弘傳密法之大慈悲心。今晨即蒙恩賜親現，夢境如下：
有數人抬一蓮師像安於座上。師像立即活轉成嬰兒大小之圓臉小人，面目活動，肢體亦然。彼戴之小圓帽落下，我接住欲代戴上，師曰：「不用，我自己來」。帽即自行上昇，安戴師頂。我跪於座前，師側身右斜坐於右扶手上，身完全懸空成四十五度角，我略伸左手於其下，恐其落下，但實無事。師囑曰：「買些報紙給我看」。印尼剛發生大地震，波及東南亞多國皆海嘯。師之悲心及於末法時代之眾生，而有此慈示。
夢境轉為一女弟子至河以碗取水，我即以另一碗加入熱水，然後我將溫水倒於地上，而蓮師則化現為一小犬來吃盡。此乃教示純真之有情亦可能為蓮師之化現，吾人應敬重一切有情，而供養眾生即等同供奉蓮師。蒙恩弟子鈺堂謹記以誌恩及分享大眾，並讚頌曰：
嬰兒蓮師活生生，神通圓帽自飛昇；
心繫眾苦欲閱報，有情平等現畜生。

Grace of the Presence of Guru Rinpoche
Yutang Lin
Right before I woke up at 2:43 a.m. on September 14, 2007 I saw Guru Rinpoche in a dream.
The day before, we made pilgrimage to the Stainless Manjusri Palace on the Northern Terrace of the Wu Tai Shan (Five-terrace Mountain) in China. Right before we departed, I offered a Khata to the Guru Rinpoche statue there that is made of Han white jade. While repeating his heart mantra in making the offering I was deeply moved because I could appreciate his great compassion in propagating Tantric teachings. This morning he already bestowed on me the grace of his presence. The dream went as follows:
Four or five people carried a statue of Guru Rinpoche and set it on a chair in front of me. They left. Immediately the statue transformed into a small person of baby-size, with round face and round eyes. He moved his face and eyes, then his hands. He wore a small sailor hat of bright orange color. The hat fell down to his front, I caught it and wanted to put it up on his head. Guru said (in Chinese), "No need; I will do it myself." Then the hat flew up by itself, and settled down on Guru's top. I knelt in front of his seat. Guru sat on the handle, to his right, of the chair and leaned his body to his right to form a 45-degree angle. I raised my left hand up a bit lest he would fall down, but no such thing happened. Guru said (in Chinese), "Buy some newspapers for me to read." It was right after events of huge earthquakes in Indonesia that led to Tsunamis affecting several countries in south-eastern Asia. Guru's compassion encompasses sentient beings in this degenerated age of Dharma, and hence there was such a merciful instruction.
Then the scene in the dream changed. A female disciple went to a river and scooped up some water with a bowl. I had a bowl of hot water in my hand, and I added hot water into her bowl, and then I poured the lukewarm water on the ground. Then a puppy came and drank up the water, and I understood that the puppy was a transformation of Guru Rinpoche. The teaching therein is that sentient beings of purity could also be transformations of the Guru, and hence we should respect all sentient beings; furthermore, making offerings to sentient beings would amount to making offerings to Guru Rinpoche.
This blessed disciple Yutang carefully recorded this blessing event to commemorate Guru Rinpoche's grace, and to share the grace with all beings. I praised Guru with this stanza:
Round face, round eyes, baby Guru Rinpoche was so alive,
Round hat flew up all by itself, what supernatural power!
Compassion encompassing all beings, want to read news,
All sentient beings being equal, Guru appeared as a puppy!

Note: This morning I had already asked disciple Guo Zi Feng to make another pilgrimage trip today up to the Northern Terrace to offer some newspapers in front of the statue of Guru Rinpoche there.
