Question asked by Khang
Hello Pastors!
I had questions regarding my daily life practices and serkym with sang offering:
1. How to due with our laziness that sometimes, it's arising during our daily practices?
2. How's lord Dorje Shugden help us through Sangsol and Serkym offering? Does we need repeat our request everytime when we offer sang?
Or just request one time is enough to let Lord Shugden help us about our situations?
3. I'm waiting for my partner visa application comeback to my husband and i had receive divination or advices from my Guru that's will be fine.
I have trust, beleive and faith in my Guru 100% without doubt about it and due to, I'm not nearing my Guru that sometimes, my ignorance arising and my worry come up and it's not easy for me to avoide this feelings when it's come to frustrating time to wait for my visa but how's worry i am that i never lose faith in my Guru.
I wish to have a way or method to increase my devotion to my Guru and a powerful pratice to comebine with my daily guru yoga migtsema as my guru always advices and encourage us to do.
What should i do?
Thank you so much.
Dear Khang,
1. Laziness effects our whole life, but can manifest at different types. The best way to overcome laziness in regards to Dharma practice is to contemplate on a) that we will die, b) the sufferings we face while in samsara, c) that Dharma practice will take us out of samsara. In essence, these three. The focus should be put on meditation of our death first. That itself is very powerful to help overcome laziness. The proper, extended way of doing these is explained in the Lamrim.
2. Both Serkym and Sang are requests for Dorje Shugden’s activity. So you are making offerings, so you are generating merit at the same time you are asking him to help you for a particular reason. Yes, every time you do sang or serkym you should vocalise your request for help.
3. To increase your faith in your guru, you read more about his life, what he has accomplished, as well as how he has helped others. In addition, read about Guru devotion and check if you are actually doing it or not. Apart from that when you practice daily Guru Yoga, you should engage in it strongly, and always think that Lama Tsongkhapa and your Guru are actually the same. The person in your visualisation is your Guru, appearing in the form of Lama Tsongkhapa. That should help. Thank you.
