【花與禪】──菊
.
「採菊東籬下,悠然見南山。」出自東晉詩人陶淵明的《飲酒·其五》,這二句歷來被評爲「靜穆」、「淡遠」,得到很高的稱譽。當我們沉靜下來、放慢腳步來感受大自然之真,即能感受每個季節綻放的花所帶來的美,察覺天地宇宙間的變化。

“Flower and Zen” – Chrysanthemum

Borne during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, poet Tao Yuanming’s fifth poem in a series of masterpieces named “Drink” expresses it superlatively, “picking the chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, leisurely taking in the sights of the southern hills.” “These two phrases have garnered very high accolades in articulating the essence of “serenity”, and “abstraction” in contemplating life in its pure simplicity. When we calm down, moderate our pace so as to feel the real essence of nature, we can appreciate the beauty of the blooming flowers of every season, and discover the nuances in the ever-changing universe.rnrn【花與禪】──菊

健康容易嗎?
有人說:「人的心情,情緒的好壞,是因為身體不健康所影響。」
也有人說:「歷代祖先的遺傳基因,是導致疾病的產生!」
.
其實,人們身體的疾病的成因有很多。
人的身體好比一台車,新車通常問題比較少,當車開幾年了,就容易失衡,往往一年一小修,五年一大修,若不保養、照顧,車就動不了。

想想咱們的身體用了多少年?
你更換過自己?修理過自己了嗎?有時候覺得身體實在不舒服了,到醫院一看,才發現所有零件,都已損害到無法更換的地步。

那麼,要如何讓身心,保持在一個健康狀態呢?

《New release》 Understanding how Meditation leads to good health (July 1, 2017)

Is it easy to stay healthy?
Some would say: “One’s mood and emotion is dependent on the general well-being of one’s health.”
Others feel: “The hereditary genetics from our ancestors play a vital role in determining the state of our health!”

There are many reasons why people fall sick.
The key to a healthy physical and mental body is to strike a proper “balance”.

If we were to compare our body to a car, the analogy is similar. New cars are less prone to problems. Cars which have been in use for a long time tend to break down easily and require constant maintenance. At times, we need to replace their faulty spare parts in order to keep them functioning.

How about our bodies which have been working non-stop for the last 40 years from the day we were born. Have we maintained ourselves properly? Some of us only visit the doctor when we are extremely sick only to discover our internal organs have suffered irreparable damages.

How then do we maintain a state of “balance” in our mind and body?

I welcome everyone to join me this coming Saturday in my discussion on the key to maintaining good health. You may gain some tips and inspiration to a better health. May all be blessed with longevity, good health and happiness!!

學習大慈大悲觀世音菩薩
.
.
每個人都可以成為菩薩!
只要我們能發菩提心,成就「自利利他」的菩薩精神,並實踐佛法,人人都可以是人間菩薩,利益眾生,離苦得樂。
.
在臨近「觀世音菩薩成道日」的這段時間,都是大吉祥的日子,佛菩薩慈悲加持的磁場非常強大。
.
大家可以每天多誦念「觀世音菩薩聖號」,祈請千手千眼、大慈大悲,無所不在的觀世音菩薩幫助我們,化解人生遇到的困難與障礙。如果再能誠心去供奉、禮敬菩薩,或者是發願,都會獲得大吉祥、大智慧、大能量。
.
也希望通過大家每天的誦念,讓菩薩的聖號傳遍全世界,處處光明,人人吉祥,健康快樂。
.
.
Everyone can become a Bodhisattva!
As long as we allow our Bodhicitta to grow, to benefit all and practice Buddhadharma with the spirit of a Bodhisattva, everyone can obtain enlightenment and brings good fortune to all sentient beings, gain happiness and avoid sufferings just like a Bodhisattva.

As the Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment Day approaches, the days are filled with great auspiciousness. The energy field is extremely strong as the Buddha and Bodhisattvas shower compassionate blessings on all sentient beings.

I encourage all of you to chant the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva for at least 30 minutes each day. Pray to the omnipresent Guanyin Bodhisattva who has a thousand hands and thousand eyes – who bear infinite wisdom and compassion – to help us overcome the difficulties and obstacles that we encounter in our lives. As we chant, make offerings, make vows and prostrate to the Bodhisattva with great sincerity during this period of time, we will be blessed with great fortune, great wisdom and strong energy.

As we chant with sincerity everyday, I also wish for the mantra to spread throughout the world, showering illumination and auspiciousness on everybody. May all enjoy good health and happiness.

健康回來了,5年的輪椅Bye-bye ….

健康回來了,5年的輪椅Bye-bye
.
.
我們正常行走的人,無法體會坐在輪椅上度日子的滋味。她__5年來只能靠輪椅代步。可喜的是,她的生命發生了奇蹟,短短3個禮拜,她不再需要輪椅了,恭喜她能找回健康,快樂,她是怎樣做到的?讓我們來看看她的故事吧。
————————————————————————————————————–
來自馬來西亞
2012年5月,我突然間無法行走,經醫生檢查後被診斷出有2節腰椎軟骨壞死,壓迫了坐骨神經線,導致我的雙腿無力,不能站立,更沒法步行,需要以輪椅代步! 有時腰痛起來就連打針也不能緩解疼痛,上下床都沒辦法。
.
接下來的兩年,西醫、物理治療、針灸、骨科,全都試過了,可是都沒辦法把我治好。西醫建議動手術,但是風險很大,殘廢或死亡率高達50%。和家人商量後,我決定不接受手術。多年的儲蓄快用完了也沒法根治,我失去了信心,2014年開始,我放棄了所有的治療。
.
我原本是一位好動的人,但是由於疾病的原因,我去哪裡都得依靠輪椅、都要人攙扶,我不再喜歡外出。我開始討厭自己,覺得自己連累了家人,覺得自己很醜,脾氣也變得很暴躁。
.
一天我在網上無意間看到了菩提禪修的網頁,讀到了很多不同的見證分享,深受觸動,就報名參加了今年3月28日交來禪堂舉辦的「清明祭祖」點燈念佛祈福活動。
.
念佛祈福活動第1天,我坐著輪椅來到禪堂,得到禪堂義工們熱心的協助,推著我上上下下,而且接下來的整個星期的活動都陪伴著我,讓我感覺很溫馨。師兄姐們一直不斷地鼓勵我別放棄,他們無私地將自己的經歷與見證分享給我,這讓我生起很大的信心與勇氣。義工們還鼓勵我,扶著我,讓我嘗試離開輪椅,一步一步慢慢走起來。
.
清明祭祖活動後,我每天早上9:30 到中午12:30 ,到禪堂修練「無量大光明修持法」和念佛。到了第2個星期,我感覺雙腿比以前有力了,我可以自己扶著輪椅慢慢走到禪堂了!
.
更令我意想不到的奇跡出現了,第3星期,我終於可以徹底擺脫了坐輪椅的日子!我終於可以自由行動了!每天來禪堂共修都是我自己走到禪堂,還走得很穩!
.
短短3週,我恢復了行走能力,擺脫了5年的輪椅生活,真的非常開心!我做夢也想不到,我龍碧雲的雙腿,竟然可以康復! 感謝這5年來家人的照顧及關心!感謝交來禪堂所有的義工們像家人一樣的關懷和鼓勵!感恩金菩提宗師!
.
希望每一位有病有痛的人,都能早日學到菩提禪修,早日擺脫疾病痛苦。

Regained health & bided farewell to my wheelchair of 5 years

For most of us who can walk normally, it is impossible to understand those who spend their days on the wheelchair. For 5 years, she could only rely on the wheelchair for mobility. Luckily there was a miracle, and within a short span of 3 weeks, she overcame her immobility and no longer relied upon the wheelchair. What is this amazing and true story about? Let us hear her story..
————————————————————
Testimonial from Malaysia

In May 2012, I suddenly could not walk. The doctor’s examination revealed that I was stricken with lumbar cartilage necrosis in 2 vertebrae, and compression of the sciatic nerves. This resulted in weakness in both legs. I could not stand, much less walk, and had to rely on the wheelchair to move about! At times when the backache acted up, even injections were useless in relieving the pain, and I could not shift from my bed.

Over the next two years, western medicine, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and orthopedics; I tried them all, but none was of use to my condition. Surgery was recommended by western doctors, but the risk was high, with disability or death as high as 50%. Having discussed with my family, I decided not to undergo surgery. Despite exhausting my lifetime savings, cure was not in sight, and my confidence eroded. Since 2014, I’d abandoned all treatments.

I used to be active, but due to the illness I had to rely on the wheelchair, and on the all-round support to move around. I lost interest in going out. I began to dislike myself, as I felt that I was a burden to the family. I felt I was repulsive, and became short-tempered. One day, I came across the website by Bodhi Meditation on the internet. I read various testimonials and was inspired. Thus, I registered for the Qing Ming Festival Chanting and Light Offering event at Cheras Bodhi Meditation Center that was held around March 28th this year.

On the first day of the chanting class, I arrived at the center in my wheelchair. I was blessed with the warm assistance by the volunteers, who helped me in and out of the wheelchair. They also accompanied me in all activities throughout the week. It was a warm feeling. My fellow brothers and sisters constantly encouraged me to persevere and not give up, selflessly shared their experiences and testimonials, allowing me to build my courage and confidence. These volunteers also urged me to attempt to stop using the wheelchair; supporting me in my bids to take slow steps, one at a time.

After the Qing Ming Festival worship activities, I would proceed daily to the Bodhi Meditation Center between 9.30am to 12.30pm in the afternoon for the Meditation of Greater Illumination as well as for chanting. By the second week, I felt my legs were stronger than before, and I could walk slowly to the meditation centre with the support of my wheelchair! What was more miraculous was, by the third week, I could finally and completely leave the wheelchair days behind! Since then, I have walked to the meditation centre by myself, and with steady strides!

I’m finally able to move about by myself! In a short span of 3 weeks, I regained the ability to walk, and can finally leave the days with the wheelchair of 5 years behind. I was elated! It was beyond my wildest dreams that me, Long Biyun could have my legs recovered! I’m also thankful for the utmost care and concern of my family over the past 5 years! Special thanks to all volunteers at the Cheras Bodhi Meditation Center for the familial care and encouragements! Most grateful to Master Jin Bodhi!

May those who are afflicted with illness and pain find solace in Bodhi Meditation and swiftly regain health and happiness.

(Note: The benefits of meditation can vary from person to person)
*Bodhi Meditation does not advocate to stop or reduce any meditation, please consult your doctor.

Winter melon tea – refreshing and helps to relieve heat

In summer, we tend to perspire more, feel thirsty, frustrated, as well as hot tempered. During this time, most people cannot resist the temptation of iced milk tea or juice, which can be detrimental to our health due to the high sugar content, as it can affect our stomach and pancreas. Why not try this healthy drink, ideal for the summer season – winter melon tea!

Winter melon can be used to prepare a nice dish, it can also be used to boil as winter melon tea.
According to the Chinese Compendium of Materia Medica, winter melon has a cooling nature, is diuretic, helps reduces swelling, removes heat and toxin, clears stomach heat, amongst other benefits. Adding a small amount of ginger when preparing winter melon tea can help to neutralize the “coolness” of the winter melon, thus making it a very refreshing drink suitable for summer season.

Winter melon tea – refreshing and helps to relieve heat

In summer, we tend to perspire more, feel thirsty, frustrated, as well as hot tempered. During this time, most people cannot resist the temptation of iced milk tea or juice, which can be detrimental to our health due to the high sugar content, as it can affect our stomach and pancreas. Why not try this healthy drink, ideal for the summer season – winter melon tea!

Winter melon can be used to prepare a nice dish, it can also be used to boil as winter melon tea.
According to the Chinese Compendium of Materia Medica, winter melon has a cooling nature, is diuretic, helps reduces swelling, removes heat and toxin, clears stomach heat, amongst other benefits. Adding a small amount of ginger when preparing winter melon tea can help to neutralize the “coolness” of the winter melon, thus making it a very refreshing drink suitable for summer season.
The ingredients and preparation method for the tea are mentioned below.

Ingredients:
Winter melon 1000g (1 kg), ginger a few slices

Method:
1. Remove the skin of the winter melon, remove the seeds and rinse, cut to cubes

老天公不公?
.
.
宋朝的時候有一個清官叫「包青天」。有一天他在巡視州縣的時候,被一群村民攔路跪求說:「包青天呐,我們想不明白。村裡有個年輕人,他生下來就天生殘疾,父母又早亡,但他做了很多的善事,最後卻遭雷劈死,命運可真悲慘啊,為什麼行善,還無法改變他悲慘的宿命呢。」
.
包公覺得事有蹊翹,就問村民:「說說這位年輕人的故事?」
.
村民們繼續說:「這個孩子天生很善良,因為我們村裡的河沒有橋,很多人因此喪命於這條河,他從小就有一個願望,想建一座橋讓大家安全地過河。從此他就用一雙小手開始撿小石子,撿到到十幾歲的時候,就積累了很多的石頭。因此也感動了村裡所有的人,都來幫他一起蓋橋。可惜,非常不幸的在蓋橋之中,石頭一下子把他的雙眼都給崩瞎了。
.
這個孩子挺有志氣的,也不抱怨,還是堅持著建橋,很快這座橋建成了。可是一天一場的大雷雨,這個孩子就在這個橋邊,『啪』一道閃電下來把他給劈死了。老天不公啊!包青天你要給我們斷這個案啊! 」
.
包青天聽了以後:「真是不公平啊!」就題了四個字『老天不公!』。
.
當包青天遊歷了一圈,回到朝中見到皇上的時候,皇上說:「包愛卿你回來了,有個喜事跟你講,我剛剛得了一個小皇子,我抱出來給愛卿看一看。當包青天伸手去抱皇子時,小皇子雙手打開朝著包青天,小手上寫著「老天不公」。
.
包青天看了打了一個冷顫?然後他就用自己的天眼,去看這個孩子的前世今生,才發現原來這個小皇子,就是那個村裡前不久被雷劈死年輕人的轉世。再看看年輕人的前世,是一個大惡人,無惡不作。因為這些壞事的業力,老天要懲罰他用三輩子來償還:第一輩子生下來殘疾,無父無母,孤苦伶仃;第二輩子雙眼失明,一輩子見不到光明;第三輩子活不大就要被雷劈死,然後才能消除他以前作惡多端的報應。
.
但是因為年輕人這一世,一直有一個善良之心,堅持想幫助大家建橋,所以老天就讓他把三輩子的惡業縮短成一輩子,用十幾年的時間全都償還完了,而且還轉生為皇子。
「三世惡業一世消」,你們說值不值啊!!!
天裡昭彰疏而不漏啊,只要你行善、心存善念,善的果報就會來到。

Are the Heavens Fair or Unfair?

During the Song Dynasty, there was an upright official known as Justice Bao. One day while he was patrolling his county, he was surrounded by a group of villagers who blocked his path and knelt in front of him. “Justice Bao, there is something which we do not understand! There is a young man in the village who was born with a disability and his parents passed away when he was very young. He had such a tough life, but had a good heart. Yet he was killed by lightning. Why were all the good deeds he did not enough to transform his tragic life?”

Feeling that something was amiss, Justice Bao asked the villagers: “Can you share with me the story of this young man?”

The villagers continued: “This child was born with a kind heart. Due to the lack of a bridge in our village, crossing the river was a treacherous affair and many of the villagers lost their lives doing it. He saw this and he had a wish to build a bridge to allow the villagers to cross the river safely. He started to pick small rocks using his little hands from a young age. By the time he was in his teens, he had accumulated a lot of rocks. His actions touched the villagers and everybody came to help him build the bridge. Sadly though, in the midst of building the bridge, he became blind in both eyes in an unfortunate accident.

But that did not dampen the child’s aspirations. Without any complaints, he insisted on completing the bridge. Very soon, the bridge was completed. But not long after that, the village was hit by a storm and the young man was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning next to the bridge! How unfair are the heavens! Justice Bao, you have to help give us a judgment!”

After listening to the story, Justice Bao exclaimed: “This is really unfair! Let me inscribe the words ‘The Heavens are unfair’ in memory of this young man!”

Not long after that, Justice Bao completed his patrols and returned to the palace where he met with the emperor. Upon seeing him, the emperor exclaimed: “My dear Justice Bao! Do I have good news to share with you! I just had a newborn son, let me show him to you.” When Justice Bao reached out to carry the little prince, the baby stretched his hands out towards Justice Bao, with the palms facing upwards. With shock, Justice Bao saw the words “The Heavens are unfair” inscribed on the baby’s tiny hands.
Upon seeing this, Justice Bao decided to use his heavenly sight to check on the baby’s past lives. He discovered that the little prince was actually the reincarnation of the young man who was killed by lightning in the village not long ago. He went back in time to check on the young man’s previous life and found that he was a bad person who had done many evil deeds in that lifetime. Due to these evil deeds, he had accumulated karmic debt that was to be repaid over three lifetimes. In his first lifetime, he would be born as an orphan, disabled and alone; in his second lifetime he would be born blind, living in darkness his whole life; in his third lifetime, he would be struck and killed by lightning at a young age. Only then would his karmic debt be fully repaid.

But because the young man had a kind heart and persevered in building the bridge to help all the villagers, the heavens allowed him to pay off his debt in one lifetime instead of three. In a span of a few decades, he repaid all his debt and managed to be reincarnated as the prince. Three lifetimes of bad karmic debt was compressed into one instead – how good a deal is that!
The moral of the story is that the justice of the heavens will be manifested slowly but surely. As long as you perform good deeds and have kind thoughts, you will get good recompense in return.

If you like this story, please share it out. The more you share, the more fortune you will receive!
