Using Deva-eyes To Observe “Karma”
■Book 104 - A Plethora Of Scenic Splendours
■Written by GrandMaster Sheng-yen Lu
A two-day consultation session was arranged by the ritual organiser Yuan Xue chapter on 16th and 17th of December 1992.
What is “consultation”?
“It is solving all kinds of problems and curing strange diseases for the sentient beings!”
As we know, there is no such thing as a perfect life. Life is always full of endless problems.
I suppose Buddhas and Bodhisattvas must come to this world helping mankind to solve their problems.
What will make Master Lu Sheng Yen a happy man?
To tell the truth, he will be very happy when he is able to solve other people's problem.
Fronting the audience,
I see among the crowds, all kinds of friends,
- some suffering from terminal illness,
- a newly-born that is deformed,
- a divorced woman with sorrowful look,

A half-paralysed man came to me, he berated,
“I am upright , and do nothing wrong in my whole life. I am unassuming, why must I be suffering from such sickness? You tell me whether there are any justice? There is no law of Karma, since kind people have to suffer, and the wicked ones were off the hooks. There are no heavenly principles in this world any longer. Please enlighten me!”
Using my deva-eyes, I saw him pointing to the sky, and made a curse, then he broke the neck of Amitabha Buddha's image; and threw the image of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva into his toilet.
I related this incident.
His daughter was nodding her head.
“My father is OK. The only problem with him is he likes to take up the cudgels for the injured party. Although he has done a lot of good deeds, he makes silly mistakes too. He was angry with me when I prayed to Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. How can he get angry with the divine?
Her father is a wonderful person who likes to go against the divinity. Agitated, he suffered from a stroke, and became paralysed.
A middle-aged lady with lots of “negative forces” in her face also came to see me. Using deva-eyes, I saw many mahjong tables in her house. People were gambling there. Many card-ghosts converged at her house . The woman contracted negative forces as a result.
I asked her, “Do you gamble?”
She replied ,”I do not know how to gamble, and I don't gamble.”
I asked again,”If you do not know how to gamble, why is it that you have so many gambling tables at home?”
She answered, “Lian Sheng, you are really a living Buddha. My house is full of gambling tables, and my son-in-law is running the gambling den. I am just helping out there by doing some chores.”
I advised her to close the gambling den. Or simply move out from that place. Her negative forces will disappear at once.
A female disciple came to consult me about her shrine at home.
Using deva-eyes to see, I said, “In the centre is Cundi, mother of all Buddhas, what a good choice. Franked by protectors Skanda on the left and Jia Nan on the right. The photograph of Padmakumara is quite spiritual. I smell the scent of flower, the fragrance of tulips.”
She screamed, “Grand master, you have a very sharp sense. This morning I just offered a few stalks of tulip.”
Her scream drew quite a few people's attention. They were amazed at the accuracy of what I have seen.
This is Master Lu Sheng Yen. My colourful life is full of mysterious experience. It is legendary.
Maybe because of this, whenever Master Lu went, miracles happened and strange things occurred.
His experience and story are both magnificent and unpredictable. His life is full of stimulus, too numerous to write.
