Where did I attain my Enlightenment?

My wife and I went to Phor Kark See Temple to listen to 净空法师 invited by a Singapore Master and listen to the Veneable Jing Kong talk about Basic Buddhism for 7 days while on vegetarian meal for 7 days.

Both my wife and I witness a very bright aura emerging from the temple.

After 7 days, I slept on the bed with my wife beside me at my HDB flat.

Then suddenly, I attain 1-pointedness nimitta concentration - with 1st try i resist, and then 2nd try, I let my 5 mental aggregate suck into the nimitta.

Then I sit up, use my blanket to cover my body like a Sangha robe and continue to meditate until I achieve Full-blown Nirvana Fruition and maintain in that position for 4 hours.

Thereafter, my wife woke up and shake me incessantly because i am basking in the Fruition - so blissful that I do not want to come out from it.

Then i realise i cannot leave my wife alone and sub-consciously cannot leave sentinent beings alone ---- could be due to my Bodhi Vows that I make with 4-Face Buddha and the Sleeping Sakyamuni Buddha in Thailand.

Before all these, I undergo training in Ta Pei Yuan under Brother Richard on Basic Buddhism and then undergo training with a Famous Singapore Venerable Monk on meditation.

Under this Singapore Venerable Monk - i undergo 3 years of very solid training for 3 years (many meditation methods) --- before i go to Phor Kark See Temple - and thereafter attain Enlightenment.

My this Master Singapore Venerable Monk - then ordained me on 3 Triple Gems in Ta Pei Temple under 观世音菩萨 statute - to undertake Mahayana 大乘 and then he chant 阿弥陀佛 Amituofo.

Just before Year 2001, I met 大勢至菩萨。

My wife, 观世音菩萨 accompanied me all the while to practice Theravada Buddhism （小乘佛法）until I attain Arahat.

大勢至菩萨 Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa is the one that gave me the 无量寿经 Wu Liang Shou Jin.

I in return gave her an 阿弥陀佛 chanting statue.

大勢至菩萨 Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa invite me to her Sister-in-law house to meet a Chinese Venerable.

I share my meditation experience and zen experience to the Venerable.

Another day, 大勢至菩萨 Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa invite me to her house when we met a Woman Elder and a maid.

大勢至菩萨 Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa then show me a Jade 阿弥陀佛 Amituofo in front and then the white standing chanting 阿弥陀佛 Amituofo that i gave her behind.

大勢至菩萨 Da Shi Zhi Pu Sa told me that the statue is no longer chanting.

I kneel down and pray to the 2 阿弥陀佛 Amituofo statutes.

This is the time I start off with 大乘佛法 Mahayana Buddhism until I attain 菩萨果 (Bodhisattvahood) together with my wife 观世音菩萨 and my son 弥勒佛 and go through many trials and tribulations to 修菩萨行 - conducting Bodhisattva practices。

I practice Group Chating of 阿弥陀经 Amituo Sutra 普觉 temple Phor Kark See Temple during one period regularly.

Then in 1 practice, when I bow down, a White Standing 阿弥陀佛 Amituofo shining brightly descended in front of me.

After that, I no longer do Group Practice of 阿弥陀经 Amituo Sutra and I begin doing meditation on my own in 无相殿。

My son 弥勒佛 (Matrieya Buddha) also attend school in 普觉 temple Phor Kark See Temple and also attended a short novice monk retreat.

Only through practice of the 修菩萨行 - doing Bodhisattva practices - can i attain the 阿弥陀佛果 Amituofo Fruition.

A Chinese saying :-
天降达人于廝人。
必须劳其筋骨。
苦其心志。
伤其皮肤。

Today (28 Apr 2016), a very large bees (the size of a thumb, i think bigger) fly into my kitchen window when i enter the kitchen.

I called out to my wife and let her see what happens.
Instantly we both realised the bees want to let us know, animal realm understood our Dharma and the bees want to let us know what the 无量寿经 Wu Liang Shou Jin specified is correct.

Both my wife and I are wooried that if we open the window to let the bee fly out, the bee will sting us - and such a large bee, the bee sting must be very terrible.

Then I thought of using a cloth hangar pole to unlock and open the window in a distance and push the window out. While doing so I tell the bees "Amituofo knows, Amituofo know what you want. We will try to fulfil our Bodhi Vows".

And the bees staggered on the window and then fly out.
Both my wife and me laugh - I say even the bees understand what i write in the yahoo social media.

So if people asked - the 无量寿经 Wu Liang Shou Jin say animals and birds understand the Dharma via the Zen - is it true?

Now the bees fly into our house - and convey the message that, animal realm do understand the Dharma via Zen.

Having written this, my water from my water pipe leak water again - as it to signify the tears of the 10 Universal Realm. Alamak.

Ah i remember now. Many many years ago, i was in a meditation retreat in another smaller Buddhist temple. An invited Sayadee Sayalay from Myanmar that look like Aun Sun Su Chi is the Master presiding the retreat.

After series of meditation, she interview me about my meditation experience. I informed her about my 1 pointedness concentration and the SuperNova nimitta that enwrap the whole Universe.

Then in one of the talk, she mention to the meditation retreat class that a person has attained Arahat but he don't know.

Then she invite her Master, I think is Venerable Pak Au to expound discourse to the whole meditation retreat class.

Suddenly, a hive of bees from the ceiling fell down and drop around the retreat practitioners and staggering around us.

But no one scrambled to safety and we continue to listen to the Venerable expounding the discourse.
Then 1 bee stagger to my leg and sting me. It is very painful. I just observe it and continue with the class.

This bee seem to tell me - you now know you are the Arahat - and you have the responsibility to fulfill your Vows you and your wife make in Thailand - with the 4 Face Buddha and then to the sleeping Sakyamuni Buddha in the cave. I think a monk chant something and then spray some water with a Lotus on my head and my wife head in Thailand. And then i notice a lady that look like those in the night-life also scrambled to the monk to ask the monk to bless her with the sprinkling water. (Ah i remember now).

Now 28 Apr 2016, such a big bee come again - to remind me and my wife you must fulfil your Mahayana Vow.

Alamak, now seems like 大显神威。

Now my face, my hand, my leg etc got rashes, got pain here and there --- indicate the whole Earth is experiencing Earth shattering.
