Often time, I heard people struggling with their life. People turn to divine power, some get good response and others dont. Why is that?

First of all, we have to understand that everyone has different karma and karmic hindrance, which causes one to receive different psychic result. Secondly, a positive attitude is tantamount important. Buddhas can not help those who dont want to help themselves. If you want to sit at home and wait for fortune to fall, it will not happen.

Personally, I experienced a lot of harship in my life. Through the ups and downs, I learn more about myself, life and Buddhism. I often wonder if one can change one's own fate?
How? First, one has to reflect one's own actions. If you dont get along with others, then ask yourself if you are treating others nicely.  Calm yourself down and let your heart speak for the truth. If you have already done your best, then we can go to second step. Same thing to money. If you have already done your best searching for job and promoting your business, then what is lack? what else do you have to do?

I have been taking refuge for 11 years. Thanks for GM and Masters' kindness, I have heard many wonderful spiritual stories and practices from them. I will start to share some stories with you. But, that is not the point why I am writing this post. I am not a story teller. I merely want to help you to become a diligent cultivator and help you to fullfill your wish.

Notice the word "diligent" I use. You must be diligent in your practice otherwise you can not get a good result. Or, you have to find GM to bless you, but he is in retreat. So, to work or not, it lies in Buddhas and your hand. Of course, with GM's kind compassion and blessing.

Now, you must wonder what I have in mind. I read the post about paper money. Paper money is extremely effective, but people just know how to burn it instead of using it effectively.
2 weeks ago, couple of Seattle masters and reverends came to LA, and I was previliaged to dine with them. They taught students the power of paper money. Incredible...but again unless you want to put some diligent effort into it, paper money is still the paper money.

Actually, the most incrediable practice is fire offering. I have heard tons of stories regarding it. That is why I posted so many fire offering articles on the translation sessions. If you seriously want to change your fate, fire offering is the most effective way.

Anyway, that is a long story.


whatever practice you choose, be diligent. There is no easy way out!
