In all the past 10 years, I had previously never really documented down, in a serious manner, those dreams that had knocked some sense into my head. Sacred dreams. Dreams that had guided me to move into each and every new milestone, one at a time.
It's wonderful to be able to get useful inspiration and ideas from other dimensions through sacred dreams.
.
It was Apr 5, 2018, in Lunar Calendar equivalent to the 20th day of Month 2. Just after Avalokitesvara Day had elapsed.
Avalokitesvara, in other names are Kuan Yin or Kuan Shi Yin bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva or Buddhisatta means a person or an enlightened beings who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so, or an enlightened beings who had already attained Buddha status, but come back in rebirth forms through compassion for suffering beings.
.
It was in the very early morning. In front of a small little stall selling hair clips. Not a lot remained but all of them were nicely crafted. Each of them with a clip body part made of some sort of agate gemstones, in the relaxing pale green colour.
At the beginning I picked up a hair clip with a slightly thin body part and in slightly longer shape. I was not feeling anything close to “excitement”, just a sense of calm, with a dash of curiosity, and yes, I wished to have a piece of it for keep.
Observing gems made of nice craftsmanship is a wonderful experience. Art helps people to calm minds down.

Very soon, someone bought the one I hold up just now. But guess what -- it raised my eye brows when some other more delicate hair clips appear on the table at the stall. I was a little surprised --the lady stall owner suddenly showed up from nowhere -- right in front of me! A young lady with long hair, a captivating yet divine face, long delicate fingers and in traditional Tibetan costume. WOW!!
I was curious on the new batch of hair clips which are of thick clip body part and slightly shorter in shape.
“Oh this hair clip seems to look much better than the one before. ”
Just when I picked one up and about to observe it, the lady stall owner spoke up. She showed me a demo by holding up the hair clip and said,
Keep chanting Namo Ami Tuo Fo. For it will transform the 12 Links of Dependent Origination that encompass the fundamental building block elements in the Universe -- such as Metal, Wood, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind -- to directions that will benefit this World and ALL species beings in the times to come.
.
Namo Ami Tuo Fo is a phrase not limited to just Buddhism, but a Universal phrase ANYONE CAN practice -- which means :
Good Health, Real Happiness and Peace; or Boundless Light, infinite life and infinite wisdom.
.
Then I woke up. The clock on my phone showed 5 am.
I was wondering. Avalokitesvara Day had just elapsed a couple of hours ago. Was the lady stall owner a layman form manifestation of the Avalokitesvara?
Or, could it be a layman form manifestation of Padma Sambhava -- as the lady was in Tibetan costume and I have been chanting “Om Ah Hom Penza Guru Pema Siddhi Hom” a lot ...?
I am really not sure. I guess the lady stall owner in this dream, hinted to me so as to make full beneficial use of spiritual practice by reciting Namo Ami Tuo Fo. Or the Amitabha heart mantra “Om Amy Dewa Se”.
I guess she wants me to keep up with my daily efforts.
.
Dreams, according to psychologists, are simply a form of reflection of a human's subconscious. And it occurs at certain levels of stage during sleeping.
In Dharma teaching, dreams of layman types are something not to be clinged on it, after waking up from the dreams. It's just something to be seen through, acknowledged, understood and got some hint from it, and then put down.
To “put down” in this sense, is not too much get carried away by how we feel in dreams, and then to keep carrying on daily tasks and missions with a calm, stable, focused mind and heart, and with the least possible “noise” from the outside world, and with a heart always with compassion, forgiveness to all species beings.
However, dreams are also very much a personal experience. I believe that a person's dreams would be of the more inspiring types when the HEART -- a person's inner world, gets more crystal clear along the time.
It's been recorded that a lot of famous scientists in the past obtained much of their breakthrough ideas through dreams and they eventually turn it into reality that have benefited the world, such as Albert Einstein.
.
This is a dream that has provided one of the most important messages, in addition to encouragement.
It probably tells that : it also extends to any other faiths, to keep up the spiritual/ prayer work in reflecting merits to ALL Species beings in the world, and to couple with ACTIONS based on Compassion -- on daily basis.
// Everyone can do their bits. //
May ALL SPECIES Beings free from all kinds of suffering as soon as possible.
May ALL SPECIES live in constant peace and love and good health.
.
“I am SORRY. Please FORGIVE me.
Thank You. I Love You ALL.
Ice Blue. Ice Blue. Ice Blue ”
- simple REPENT verse to clear one's own ancient past negative memories

■ 12 Links of Dependent Origination
- In Buddhism, this is the principle reveals that:
.All dharmas ("phenomena") arise in dependence upon other dharmas: "If this exists, that exists; if this stops to exist, that also stops to exist".The principle is applied in the twelve links of dependent origination doctrine in Buddhism, which describes the chain of causes which result in rebirth and dukkha (suffering).By breaking the chain, liberation from suffering can be achieved. Additionally, one could be seen to reach a level of consciousness associated with ascendance.EVERYTHING in the Universe, except nirvana (nibbana), is conditioned by Pratītyasamutpāda
