【週六網路共修預告】(2017年5月06日)
.
.
宋代有一個富商,他平日深信佛法,樂善好施,是鄉裡口中的大善人。
.
有一天,菩薩托夢讓他去買一批藥材,他就划船到菩薩指定的地方,卻看到一個人嚷嚷著說要自殺,他旁邊幾個工人對商人說:「我們攔著呢,最近因為天候不佳,老闆的藥材全潮了,根本賣不出去,剛才正鬧著要跳江自殺,誰能幫他呀?」富商聽完想說,我就做個善行吧!你這一批藥材我出高價買了吧。
.
富商買了藥材後,當晚睡覺又夢到菩薩對他說:「你先把這貨存起來,千萬別賣。」雖然富商心中很心疼那些錢會血本無歸,但還是按菩薩的指示做了。
.
幾個月後,村中突然鬧了嚴重的疫症,短短不到半個月,這個城市的人竟然死了一半。
.
一天晚上,富商又夢到菩薩說:「明天你再把鴨梨買下來,鴨梨配你上回買下來的藥材、熬煮成藥給大家喝、喝一碗就會有效果了,但是切記,一碗湯只能收取一毛的微薄利潤,千萬不能多收。。」
.
隔天,富商照著做了,但因為求藥的人實在太多,他乾脆在井邊開始燒水熬藥,一碗湯藥救一個人命。因此,他救了整個城市,而這個救人的功德,也讓他的兒孫世世代代都享受著榮華富貴。
.
其實,這個富商的前世、是一寺廟的出家和尚,他曾發下願望:「我修佛法,受這一方眾生供養,有一天,我一定要回報這個城市的人,我要幫助他們。」
.
所以,慈悲能令一個凡人變成聖人。當我們學做一個慈悲的人,這種慈悲的力量、會讓一個人產生不可思議的變化,產生不可思議的改變,甚至讓你的後代子孫都得同享福蔭。
.
歡迎大家本週六與我共同聊聊,如何讓生命更圓滿、更富有、更幸福、更快樂!祝福大家,智慧通達,圓圓滿滿!.

Notice of Online Global Group Practice (Saturday, May 06, 2017)

During the Song Dynasty, there was a wealthy businessman who was well-versed in the dharma and was a respected philanthropist in his village.

One day, a bodhisattva appeared in his dream and instructed him to buy a batch of medicinal herbs. He rowed his boat to the designated place as told and saw a man wanting to attempt suicide. Next to him were a few of his workers and they told the businessman, “We are trying to stop our boss from committing suicide. We can’t find a buyer for this batch of medicinal herbs because the rain has dampened the stock.” Upon hearing this, the wealthy man kindly offered to buy all the herbs at a premium.

On the same night, the bodhisattva appeared in the wealthy man’s dream and said, “Keep the herbs that you have bought. Do not sell.” Although the wealthy man felt sorry for the money he had spent, he followed the bodhisattva’s instruction.

A few months later, there was a serious epidemic outbreak in the village and half of the villagers died from the disease in less than a month.

One particular night, the bodhisattva re-appeared in the wealthy man’s dream and told him, “Buy some pears and brew them together with your herbs for everyone to drink. One bowl is effective to cure a person. But remember, only a dime of margin for each bowl. You must not overcharge.”

The next day, the wealthy man did as told. Since there were many sick people, he simply boiled his medicinal soup next to the well to cater to the large crowd. Therefore, he saved the entire village. The merits he accumulated from this event were passed on to his descendants and they are able to enjoy comfortable life for many generations.

In fact, this wealthy man’s previous life was an ordained monk. In that life, he made a vow to practice the Dharma diligently so that one day he will be able to repay the kindness of the villagers.

Therefore, compassion can turn a mortal into a sage. This power of compassion can bring about incredible transformation to a person’s life and his descendants.

I welcome everyone to join me coming Saturday for a discussion on how we can lead a more fulfilling, prosperous and happy life! May everyone be blessed with abundance and wisdom!

能勞動是件幸福的事 . 能勞動、能工作是…

能勞動是件幸福的事
.
能勞動、能工作是件幸福的事,但一些人並不喜歡多付出、多做事。在公司裡,覺得工作是為了老闆而做的,只要老闆不盯著,就會開始混水摸魚。這種觀念並不正確,工作是因為生活需要,無論什麼樣的工作,老闆花錢雇用你,換個角度說,都算是你的衣食父母,讓你的老婆孩子生活無憂。雖然工作很辛苦,但是如果沒人雇用你的話,一家的生計就有問題了。
.
我在美國有個弟子,是個年輕小夥子,他說老闆什麼雜事都叫他做,連家裡的芝麻小事都要找他,他問我:「我要不要辭職呢?」我說:「再等一下,如果我沒有要你辭職,你千萬別亂來。」不到兩個月,老闆因為產品賣得太差而裁員了三分之一,卻把他留了下來。而且現在他還成為部門經理,薪資漲了一倍,每天都很快樂,而且每天都提早半小時上班,先打掃公司環境。他做這些事的目的,並不是希望老闆幫他加薪,而是完全出於自覺,想多做點事,而且是為了自己而做,做得也快樂。
.
有能力服務別人,是件值得高興的事,代表你是一個有價值的人。尤其如果能抱持著開心的態度來工作,不僅工作時特別有效率,幸福感也會油然而生。
.
其實熱愛勞動的人,就是熱愛生活的人,無論對工作還是家庭,多承擔、多付出、多勞動,這樣,不僅可以找到快樂,生活也會越來越精彩。

Being Able to Work is a Blessed Thing

Having the ability to work is a very fortunate thing, but some people do not like to contribute or do more than others. They think that they are working for the benefit of their bosses. The moment the boss is not watching over them, they would begin to slack off and take advantage of the company. Such an attitude is wrong. We are working for our own benefit, to meet our own needs in life. Regardless of what kind of job it is, as long as your boss is paying you to do it, he is paying for the bread and butter in your life and he is the reason why your wife and children are able to lead carefree lives. The work might be hard, but if nobody is willing to employ you, you will have trouble making ends meet.

A young disciple of mine in United States once told me that his boss made him do all sorts of trivial tasks, including running personal errands for him. He asked me whether he should resign. I told him: “Wait for a while more. If I don’t tell you to resign, do not do anything rash.” Fewer than two months later, the company had to retrench one-third of the staff due to poor product sales. However, not only was this disciple of mine retained in the company, he was promoted to the position of a departmental manager and his salary was doubled. He became very happy at work, and even turned up half an hour early to clean the office. He did all this not because he hoped to get a pay raise from it. It was all done on his own initiative, out of a desire to do more, for his own sake. He has found happiness.

Having the ability to be of service to other people is something to be happy about as it means that you are a person with value. If you can maintain a happy attitude at work, not only will you be especially efficient, you will also feel immensely happy and fortunate.

A person who loves to work is someone who appreciates life. Someone who is willing to shoulder more responsibilities, to give and to work more will find happiness and lead a more fulfilling life.
