Beauty and the Beast: Dog Edition

Sophie Wang, of Taiwan, has a 13 years old dog named "Black Bear".  This young woman treats Black Bear like her younger "brother".

Motor bikes are popular in Taiwan.  Black Bear is unable to sit on a bike.  Sophie bought a cloth carrier, carry Black Bear on her back and travels around the island on her bike.  She posts the daily live and travel with Black Bear on her Facebook page. 
https://m.facebook.com/blackbearwithsophie/

A few days ago, while traveling with Black Bear on her back,  Sophie something warm rushing down her back.  The aging Black Bear has incontinence.  A 13 years old dog is equivalent to a 70 years old human.


Below is the original descriptions written by Sophie translated from Chinese:

"The weather is so nice.  After work, had I rushed back home to carry Black Bear for a joyride on my motor bike.   While cruising, my tail vertebra suddenly felt something warm flowing downward.   I had a not so nice premonition coming up.......

I had touched my back.  It was wet.  I had smelled it.  It was smelly. 😑

I have already known that Black Bear is very old and may have incontinence problem occasionally.  So upon returning home, I took Black Bear to the bathroom to wash and clean up.  While washing, Black Bear had lowered his head as if blaming himself for the mishap.  Of course I did not scold him.  I know Black Bear was not deliberately to wet me.  I had petted his head and said, "Never mind, everything will be all right after a little wash.  Sister Siao Siao is waiting to eat beef now!"

Dogs are similar to human,  require more care when getting old.  Please do not avoid or abandon them, because they are your family members."

黑熊和姊姊的揹揹日記

這麼好的天氣,下班立馬衝回家揹著黑熊騎哺哺兜風,騎著騎著,姊姊的尾椎骨部位感到一股熱流,不好的預感湧上....
手一模,溼了,拿上前一聞,騷的😑😑😑
姊姊其實知道,黑熊年紀大了,有時候會有失禁的問題,所以回到家後,就先把黑熊帶進浴室清洗,清洗時黑熊頭都低低的,好像很自責,姊姊當然沒有罵他,因為姊姊知道黑熊一定不是故意的,拍拍他的頭跟他說:沒關係喲~洗一洗就好了,姊姊秀秀,等等吃牛肉噢!
狗狗和人一樣,老了一定會需要更多的照顧,請不要拋棄或嫌棄他們,因為他們是你的家人

 


Many Chinese news media have picked up this post.  Netizens give comments like "very touching", "Black Bear is very fortunate with a loving sister", "Touching!  Family member will not leave or abandon family member".

Dogs have luck too.  Some homeless dogs suddenly are adopted by nice families while some dogs get abandoned or mistreated by their owners.

It's a cat's life-- In memoriam of a Feng Shui cat

In the summer of 2008, we had unexpectedly adopted a 3 year old black cat Meow-meow.  I had written a blog about this accidental adoption:

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2008/07/cats-and-lottery.html

At the end of last January, Meow-meow also had unexpectedly passed.  This blog is a celebration of her life.

IT IS A CAT'S LIFE
"I'm exhausted after a lap dance"
Meow-meow was a kind and gentle creature.  She was a "no-kill" cat.  She would not kill any living thing.  I had seen her interactions with crickets and ants and wrote about it:

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2008/07/big-black-cat-and-baby-cricket.html

I had discovered her Feng Shui talent.  She could figure out which area of the house has the best Feng Shui or energy.  I had certified her as the first cat Feng Shui master in the world-- Master Meow-meow:
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-cat-is-feng-shui-master.html

Meow-meow was also a normal cat.  She eats, naps and poohs.  She woke my spouse up in the morning and me up in the afternoon.
"Parallel napping with my sister"

Meow-meow was classy and elegant.  She would poop outside the litter box if the box is not clean enough for her or used by another cat.

We told her not to sit or run on dinner table and kitchen counters.  She obeyed the order, at least in our presence.  Our two other cats do not follow the order at all.

Meow-meow was very friendly and would jump onto the lap of any guest coming into my house.

Besides regular cat food, she likes yogurt and cream cheese.

She also likes to chew on thin electric wires and damaged a few of my gadgets.

From time to time, she would climb up my fish tank for some fish soup by dipping her long tail into the water and then licking her tail.



"Driving with mom"

"Cat yoga"

"Rock-climbing-- cat edition"










"My parakeet buddy"

"Let's be friends"







"Yogurt! Yogurt!  I like yogurt."
 
 
"Peanuts and milk?"

"I've almost finished the whole plate."
"How about some fish soup?"
"Hey kitty, don't steal my place!"
"Playing hide-and-seek"
"I'm the top cat"
"Handsome brother and pretty me"
"Look into my eyes...."
 
"Look at my bigger pupils...."

THE LAST GOODBYE

I had seen Meow-meow taking her last breath and making two loud noises, as if saying "Good-bye" to me.  She then laid down peacefully and motionlessly.  I said to Meow-meow, 

"Have a smooth trip to heaven.  I pray for you to go to heaven or reincarnate as a human being.  Thank you for the joy that you bought to our family."

Meow-meow's resting place
It was still winter with snow here in January.  The ground was frozen.  I had problem digging up some soil to bury Meow-meow.  So I bought 5 bags of potting soil to bury Meow-meow above a slope near my backyard.  I had also buried two parakeets there before.  She would be closed to her friends there.

I had buried Meow-meow with some cat-food, her favorite cream cheese and a Tibetan talisman.  This talisman would enable her to have a smooth trip to Pureland or reincarnate as a  human being.

Pets come to our lives for some reasons.  Some people believe that pets sometimes die suddenly to take the "hit" for its owner.  There are stories of Feng Shui fish jumping out of the water tank to tie up its owner from making a fateful trip.

Meow-meow might have fended off a disaster for my family by sacrificing herself.

Master Meow-meow, RIP
Master Meow-meow, 2004- 2016

"King Bolra" in the animal shelter
Postscript:  I have visited an animal shelter yesterday and seen a 2-year old male black cat waiting for adoption.  He looks like the reincarnation of Meow-meow.  

Postscript 4/4/2016:  Today I found Meow-meow's tomb was disturbed and cracked open, probably by some wild animals.  Her body was moved a few feet away.  The ground is not frozen now, so I can dig a hole into the ground to rebury her.  Her body was hard like a rock.  In 4/4/16 evening I suddenly had smelled the same staunchly scent when Meow-meow passed inside my house.  The scent lasted only 20 seconds.  Maybe this is her way of telling me her presence.  I had prayed for her liberation from animal realm right the way.

Heaven is within reach... even for your pets!

Horace, a Caucasian student of mine, has been a horse trainer for over 30 years.  He had two accidents that forced him to euthanize two valuable race horses in less than 2 years. He was very sad and worried about the afterlife well-being of these horses. He had summoned the service of Tibetan monks to chant and make offerings for the horses, so that they can move on to higher realm in their next lives without being an animal again.

One day, Horace pondered if he can apply a transcendental object like a talisman to prevent misfortune from happening to his horses again.  He has emailed me for help.

From my Daoist talisman collections, I found 2 talismans for protection of farm animals and one specifically for horses.  However, it took me a long time to dig up the picture of the Daoist Horse Deity because the importance of horse had diminished when it was replaced by automobile in the early 20th century.  Horace can setup a Horse Deity altar in his stable for additional protection.

But the Daoist talismans do not handle the afterlife well-being of the horses.  This normally involves chanting, karma purification, prayers, self-cultivation by the beneficiary (in this case, the horse) or benefactor (monks chanting).  Even humans can hardly do these tasks themselves, not to mention animals or your pets.

Is it possible to find an object or talisman that can protect, purify karma, prevent reincarnation to animal or ghost path (at least to human path) and hopefully offer passage to heaven-- with minimal or no requirement of effort on the animal?  If such object exists, it should also work for people who are too lazy or unable to chant, pray or go to church/ temple, or someone who is an atheist.

After several weeks of research, I have found a branch in Esoteric Buddhism which offers easy afterlife liberation simply by touching, seeing, listening (to mantra chanting), carrying or passing-by a copy of special mantra  (藏传佛教佩戴见、闻、尝解脱).

I have specially designed a multiple functions talisman card that combines "liberation upon seeing" and "liberation upon passing-by" the talisman.  Below is the front and back of the card:

--Click to enlarge--

-Click to enlarge, right-click to copy-



















With this card,  Horace only needs to tape this card at the stable entrance, his horses (and any human) will be blessed with afterlife liberation when passing through the gate without making any effort.  Additional benefits will be gained if these beings also see the Manjushri Bodhisattva Auspicious Diagram.

You can give your pet the same benefits by flashing this talisman around it or simply tape the talisman inside your house and everyone will get the benefits without making much effort.

This Manjushri Bodhisattva Auspicious Diagram was drawn by a Tibetan rinpoche (living buddha) who encourages people to duplicate and distribute this diagram to benefit as many sentimental beings (humans, animals, fishes, bird, insects and etc.) as possible.   You will accumulate good karma credit by distributing it,  posting it in high traffic area or  "flashing" it to animals/ fishes in the markets before they are slaughtered or released .  Simply right-click your mouse to capture the picture into your computer and make your own hard copies.

FAQ
Q:  I can't believe getting into heaven is so easy, is this a hoax?
A.  Your doubt is reasonable.  There is a 50/50 chance that nothing happens when we died-- no heaven, hell or afterlife.  But you hardly do anything or pay anything to get this "afterlife insurance", your choice is a no-brainer.  Besides, these benefits are well-documented in an ancient Buddhist classic and not a modern invention.

Q.  Is this talisman unfair for those who really work for liberation by praying, doing good work, going to church/temple and etc.? 
A:  Information is liberation.  I have done the hard work for you.  This talisman only guarantees the beneficiary of no reincarnation to animal or hungry ghost path and hopefully passage to heaven.  But heaven has multiple levels.  It does not specify which level of heaven one will go.  I guess this should be the lowest level since the beneficiary has not done much to deserve higher level.  However, being the doorman of heaven is 10k times better than being a human or a pig on earth (not to mention hell) -- no tax, no Obamacare and all you can eat buffet.  Pal, get your feet into the heaven door first and worry about promotion later.

Q:  Have you seen evidence of this type of talismans working?
A. Yes, my old man was an atheist.  I had put a "touch upon liberation" talisman with his burial and he goes to heaven (don't ask how I know).  Another case was a horse with a "touch" talisman when it was euthanized.  I don't know if it goes to heaven except knowing it is happy wherever it is.

Chinese calligraphy-- "Reality changes with thought"
Q:  Do you mean this talisman will work even if the beneficiary does not believe in religion?  Why?
A.  If it works for animals which are likely "non-religious", so it will also work for atheists.  The "magic" is not on the receiver but the administer or the person who apply the talisman to the being.  A famous Buddhist saying, "Reality changes with thought (heart)" 境随心转.  People with affinity with me will grasp this meaning.

Q.  Can I do all the "bad" things and still get the benefits of this "afterlife insurance"?
A:   You don't want to play trick with deity (in this case, Manjushri Bodhisattva, the wisdom deity).  You get double penalties when you knowingly doing "bad" things thinking the talisman will cover your behind.  Also capital offense like murder is not excusable with or without this talisman.

Q.  How do I "activate" or maximize the effect of this talisman?
A:  The Manjushri portion of the talisman gives you quite a few benefits.  One way to get the Universe to exchange energy with you is to make a donation to your favorite charity to get the flow of energy started.  Keep making donations when you get more benefits to keep the flow going  You may wear out your welcome mat sooner or later if you just keep getting from the Universe and not giving something back.  The energy flow will stop.

Enhancing your wealth luck with the right pet

My kid's classmate has adopted a cat from the local Animal Humane Society a few days ago. She found that some of her family members are allergic to cat. So the poor cat ends up at our doorstep.

I take in this cat because cat is my wealth element.

In 4-Pillars of Destiny, the 5-elements (metal, water, wood, fire and earth) are represented by 12 animals. What you control is your wealth (or wife for male). My day-master is metal, so wood is my wealth. Cat belongs to the wood element category, so cat represents my wealth.

By taking care of a cat, hopefully, also take care of the well-being of my wealth.

To find out which animal is good for you in terms of wealth, you need to find out your day-master element first. Simply go to:

http://www.kenlaifengshui.com

Click on the 4P Calculator link and punch in your birth day and click on the "COMPUTE" button. You will see a table with 4 columns: year, month, day and hour.

Check the upper row of the day column, you will see one of the 5 elements (wood, water and etc.). That element is your day-master element.

Here are the corresponding pets that you may have to enhance your wealth luck:

For metal day-masters: (wood element is wealth)
Pets: Tiger, cougar, bear, cat and rabbit

For water day-masters: (fire element is wealth)
Pets: Snakes, reptiles, turtles and horses

For wood day-masters: (earth element is wealth)
Pets: goat, dog, dragon (you can use a deer or giraffe) and cow

For fire day-masters: (metal element is wealth)
Pets: chicken, birds, and monkey

For earth day-masters: (water element is wealth)
Pets: mouse (ferrets, guinea pig, rodent type) and pig

HOWEVER, if you really want to find out the exact pet, you need to figure out if your day-master is strong or weak. You may want to take my "4-Pillars Boot-camp" video correspondence course to figure it out (sorry for the plug, I need money to pay for vet and cat food!).
