Love is more powerful than hate
This young man stood on the street for a few hours so that anybody passing by could ask for a “free hug” from him. Many people stopped after seeing the sign he put up and went up to embrace him, regardless of gender, religion, age and health. The response was astonishing. We can feel the warmth of humanity and the kindness, trust and love shown in the video.
#Hug, #Kindness

盂蘭盆節
.
.
每年的農曆七月十五日為「盂蘭盆節」，也稱「盂蘭盆會」、「中元節」。
關於它的由來，有一個典故：
在佛陀時代，佛陀座下「神通第一」的弟子目犍連，他用天眼看到他的母親在地獄之中受著懲罰，到處都是刀山、火海、油鍋，非常痛苦、奄奄一息。他就給她飯吃，可當這個飯送到母親嘴裡就變成火炭了；給她喂水，水就變成火。
.
他非常痛苦，很受刺激，就飛快地去找佛陀：「佛陀，請您趕快救救我母親吧，我母親在地獄受罪啊。」
.
佛陀睜開祂的慧眼，看看之後說：「你真救不了，你母親應得的業報不是靠你的法力就能救的，你現在的德行幾乎不能代替母親應該承受的懲罰。」
.
目犍連：「佛陀，我不能眼看著媽媽在那兒受罪啊。」
.
佛陀：「我有個方法，就是用豐盛的食物誠心供養佛、菩薩、修行者，去感動佛菩薩、感動修行人，以他們大慈悲的加持力和大德行，去幫助抵消你母親的一切罪業。」
.
目犍連按照佛陀教授的方法，終使母親得到解脫。
.
之後，在每年的農曆七月十五這天，佛教徒都會舉行「盂蘭盆法會」，供奉佛陀和僧人，報答歷代父母的慈愛之恩，讓他們得解脫、得吉祥。他們吉祥了，那我們才能吉祥，我們的生命才會變得完美。
.
佛陀通過教化目連尊者，其實給我們眾生指了一條路子，就是通過大慈大悲、有德行的人，協助我們消災、滅難，幫助我們獲得吉祥。這種借用外力當中最好的方法就是──真誠。
.
Ullambana Festival
The Ullambana Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, falls on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar.
The origin of this festival can be traced back to the time of the Buddha. Maudgalyayana, a disciple of the Buddha, with his spiritual divine power saw his deceased mother tormented with hunger and starvation in hell. Saddened, he tried feeding her to ease her hunger. But before she could eat, the food turned into burnt charcoal and fire.
Maudgalyayana was deeply disturbed and begged the Buddha for help. The Buddha said to him, “Her past sins are too deep and huge for you alone to save. Your existing merits are not sufficient to release her from her sufferings.”
Maudgalyayana replied, “But Buddha, as a son, I can’t bear to see my mother suffer.”
The Buddha responded, “I have a way and that is to make food offerings to buddhas, bodhisattvas and cultivating practitioners. If you can move them with your sincerity, their compassionate blessings and merits will help redeem her of her karmic debts.”
Maudgalyayana took Buddha’s advice and was able to free his mother from sufferings.
From then on, Buddhists would hold Ullambana Festival every year on the 15th day of the seventh month. During the festival, offerings will be made to the Buddha and the Sangha to express gratitude towards our ancestors so that they will be relieved of suffering and be auspicious. Only when our ancestors are auspicious then will we be auspicious and lead a fulfilling life.
The Buddha, through his teaching to Maudgalyayana, actually showed us how we can avoid calamities and become auspicious through the help of compassionate and virtuous practitioners. All it takes is for us to have a sincere heart.

【週六共修預告】如何改善人際關係（２０１７年８月１９日）
.
.
生氣、痛苦、煩惱等負面情緒，對人身心的傷害有多大？
.
我曾經見過兩位女士在吵架，年齡大概都是五十多歲左右，其中一個女士吵架嘴特別快、特別狠。兩個人吵著利害，另一位女士當場氣到直挺挺地昏倒了！還住院了七八天。有時候對高手來說，光憑一張嘴就能當場把對方給氣死。所以，經過這個案例，我發現很多疾病是因為精神上的痛苦和壓力而導致的。
.
修習禪修之後，會讓我們的生命能量不斷增加，心理承受力會大大增強；同時，在禪修的過程中，因為心中常保持一份慈悲善念，就不容易產生情緒不穩而罵人，如此，減少了傷害他人、傷害自己的機會，對我們的身心靈健康將會有最直接的幫助。
.
每個人都活在這個群居的社會上，免不了需要和他人打交道。
改善人際關係、經營好自己的人生，成為咱們此生必修的功課!!
.
歡迎大家在週六與我一起來聊聊，關於如何獲得《健康快樂的起點》吧。祝福大家都能一起變得更健康、更智慧、更快樂！

Online Global Group Practice on Saturday: How do we improve our interpersonal relationships? (August 19, 2017)
Anger, agony, troubling thoughts and negative emotions- How do these affect our physical health and mind?
I once came across two women in their mid-fifties quarreling. One of them was very fast and harsh in her response and words. In the midst of their heated arguments, one of them suddenly fainted and was hospitalized for 7 days!
There are cases where a person can literally die from anger because of another person’s words. Hence, through this case, I realized a lot of physical illnesses come about because of mental stress and unhappiness.
Through meditation practice, our life energy and tolerance level will increase. Since meditators tend to harbor kind and compassionate thoughts, they will not lose control of their emotions easily and start to scold others. This reduces the probability of inflicting hurt onto themselves or others, which in turn helps to maintain a healthy body and mind.
We are all part of one big social network. Everyone has to interact and deal with people in their daily lives.
Improving interpersonal relationships and better life management are vital skills which we all need to acquire!!
I welcome everyone to join me this coming Saturday to discuss on The Beginning of Health and Happiness.
May all enjoy great health, wisdom and happiness!

改善多年病痛與肥胖問題，還接引家人獲益！
.
很多人因病開刀治療後，就留下了許多後遺症，在生活上造成不少困擾，有這樣困擾的同修來了菩提修練之後，很多術後狀況都獲得了改善。只要你願意走進菩提禪修，你也能成為奇跡的締造者。今天就和我一起來見證黃麗絲一家人的禪修受益故事吧。
——————————————————————————
我叫黃麗絲，曾經多種疾病纏身，苦不堪言。2008年，為了治療尿失禁而做了尿道修補手術，落下了全身水腫及水腫肥胖導致的呼吸困難後遺症。曾花費近10萬馬幣進行減肥，毫無改觀。2009年開始胃痛，服用藥性很強的胃藥後會止痛，但藥效一過又開始痛。2011年開始，每天無論行、住、坐、臥都會頭暈，嚴重時會噁心。2016年6月開始，兩腳腳底很痛，行動不便。2017年1月，頭部、兩條腿開始麻痹、疼痛。
.
2015年，我通過《禪修與健康》雜誌接觸了菩提禪修，2016年12月參加了菩提禪修健身班。健身班第二天頭暈很嚴重，為了圓滿課程，我祈請金菩提宗師加持我不要頭暈，沒多久我的頭竟然就真的不暈了，而且一直到現在都不曾頭暈過。水腫也消失了，伴隨著體重也減掉了6kg！健身班後我每天堅持做1個小時的大禮拜，還有走「八卦」和修練「大光明」，到了2017年4月，體重再降5公斤，4個月時間裡共減掉了11公斤，呼吸也變順暢了。2017年4月30日，我報名參加了菩提禪修真心念佛班。在第一天趕去禪堂上課的路上，我的褲子莫名其妙地全部濕透了，困惑之時卻發現腳底的疼痛、頭部和兩腿的麻痹全都消失了！真是太神奇了，禪修讓我在短短的幾個月的時間裡就擺脫了病痛的折磨，重獲健康、美麗！
.
我的先生朱士剛今年60歲。2015年底，他的背部脊椎第8和第9節間的偏右邊地方，長了一顆直徑約4公分、突出約1公分的肉瘤，偶爾會有癢痛感。考慮到肉瘤非常貼近神經線，擔心手術會有風險，就沒去動手術，也沒服用任何藥物。
.
今年 （2017年）4月，在我的鼓勵下，先生參加了4月9日的「八卦」基礎班。基礎班第5天下課回家後，發現肉瘤縮小了很多。先生非常開心，堅持走「八卦」。現在肉瘤只剩下小米粒大小了，也沒有癢痛感了，先生也因此深深地愛上了「八卦」。
.
還有更不可思議的是，佛前供燈幫我兒子順利考上了中學。
因為各種病痛及更年期作祟，我的脾氣比較暴躁，常常嘮叨兒子，甚至會對他發火，導致兒子也常常頂撞我，學習成績也很不理想。每次考試除英語外，其他學科從來沒有及格過。 2016年12月底，上六年級的他即將面臨考中學，如果有一門不及格就不能直接升入中一。於是，我在禪堂為兒子點了3天燈，希望佛菩薩保佑他升中考試順利。奇跡真的發生，竟然每一門學科都及格，可以直接上中一，全家人都樂開了花。兒子也信心倍增，變得懂事了，很少跟我頂嘴了。

資料來源：https://www.facebook.com/BodhiMeditationMY/posts/1437760072983184rnrnRelief from years of sickness and obesity inspired family members to enroll for class which benefited them too!
Many people live with side effects after undergoing surgery to improve their health. This causes inconveniences and disrupts their daily lives. Fortunately, their condition improved after practicing Bodhi Meditation. As long as you initiate the first step and walk into Bodhi Meditation, you can create and witness the miracles yourself! Let us discover how Dharma sister’s Lixi Huang and her family members benefitted after coming to Bodhi Meditation.
My name is Lixi Huang. I used to suffer from many illnesses, which caused me a lot of pain and suffering. In year 2008, I had urinary incontinence and had to undergo surgery to repair the urethra. After the operation, I had serious water retention problem that caused breathing difficulty.
I had also already spent RM100,000 in weight slimming programs trying to lose weight but it was all in vain. In year 2009, I started having gastric pains and was taking strong painkillers to ease the pain. However, the pain always come back in full force once the medication effect was over. My health became worse by 2011. That year, I experienced perpetual giddiness regardless walking, sitting, standing or lying down. At times it was so bad that I was nauseous. From June 2016, I experienced intense pain on the soles of my feet and this affected my daily movements. By Jan 2017, I felt numbness and pain in my head and both legs.
In 2015, I got to know Bodhi Meditation through the Meditation and Health magazine. In Dec 2016, I registered for the 8.5-day Health and Happiness retreat. On the second day of my class, my fainting spells were intense. As I wanted to complete the entire 8.5 days, I connected with Grandmaster JinBodhi for his blessings. Shortly after my sincere prayers, my giddiness disappeared and never returned. There was no more water retention and I lost 6 kg! After the retreat, I persisted with my daily practice of an hour each of prostration, Energy Bagua and “The Meditation of Greater Illumination”. By April 2017, I lost another 5 kg. Within 4 months, I lost 11 kg and my breathing became normal.
On 30th Apr 2017, I registered for Bodhi Meditation chanting class. On my way to the class on the first day, I discovered my socks were wet for no reason. Bewildered, I suddenly realized that the pain on the soles of my feet, my head and both legs were gone! This is a miracle! Within a short time span of a few months, thanks to Bodhi Meditation, I am free from my physical torture of many years and regained health, happiness and beauty!
My husband Shigang Zhu is 60 years old this year. At the end of 2015, a protruded growth, 4 cm in diameter, appeared at the extreme right of his back between his 8th and 9th cervical vertebra. Occasionally, the affected area would feel itchy and painful. Since the growth was very close to his nerves, he did not go for surgery as it is too risky. At the same time, he also did not take any medication to relieve his discomfort.
In April 2017, my husband joined the fundamental Energy Bagua class with my encouragement. On the fifth day of his class, he discovered that his growth had grown smaller. He was very happy and persisted to continue his daily practice of Energy Bagua. Now, the growth had shrunk to the size of a small rice seed and he no longer experienced pain and itchiness. He fell in love with Energy Bagua.
My son had also managed to get admission to secondary school after I offered a light to the Buddha, on his behalf.
Due to my menopause and the pain from my various illnesses, I was often irritable and nagged at my son. At times, I vented my frustration on him. Thistle created a lot of unhappiness and he would retaliate by answering back. He did poorly in examinations. In fact, except for English, he failed all his other subjects.
At the end of 2016, he sat for his primary six examination. Should he fail any subject, he would not be able to be promoted to secondary one. Hence I offered a light to the Buddha on his behalf for 3 days at Bodhi Meditation Center, hoping that Buddha and Bodhisattvas would bless him so that he can pass his examination.
Miracle happened! He actually passed all subjects and was successfully promoted to secondary one. My entire family was very happy about this. My son regained his confidence and became more sensible. Nowadays he hardly talks back at me.

A small wish………
.
A great touching gesture……
This ordinary old lady has a simple, beautiful wish in her heart.
When you are willing to help fulfill her wish, it can warm a lonely heart, and such warmth radiates to the whole city.
Are you the angel who helps to realize the wishes of others?

佛歡喜日
.
.
「佛歡喜日」，也是一年一度的盂蘭盆會、中元節。
起源於佛教修行人、高僧大德結夏安居九十日（4月15日－7月15日）閉關修行90天後的出關之日。經過三個月的精進修持，到農曆7月15日這一天，許多人修到智慧圓滿、證悟成佛，令諸佛菩薩非常歡喜，因此這一天也被稱為「佛歡喜日」，是一個非常殊勝的日子。
.
「佛歡喜日」這一天，也時值盂蘭盆會，讓我們有孝敬祖宗、感恩祖宗的機會。通過真誠之心在佛前供燈、供養修行人，以真誠之心去祈請佛菩薩、修行大德們，使在地獄中受苦的祖宗、親人們不再受各種刑罰，不再痛苦、恐懼……；也使活在世間的父母、祖輩健康長壽、安詳自在。借助這個功德，還能讓我們曾經傷害過的一切冤親債主能夠得以解脫，消除我們的罪業。我們的祖宗、親人吉祥自在了，我們才能夠吉祥自在。
.
歡迎大家借助這樣一個好機會為祖先、為自己做功德，讓佛歡喜自在，讓我們的祖先吉祥自在，也讓我們自己遠離痛苦黑暗、獲得吉祥圓滿的人生。

Buddha’s Joyful Day
The Buddha’s Joyful Day coincides with the annual Ullambana festival or Ghost festival and marks the completion of a 90 days summer retreat (15 April to 15 July) by Buddhist dharma practitioners and eminent monks. After 3 months of intensive meditation, many dharma practitioners gained ultimate wisdom and attained enlightenment on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Because the number of practitioners who attained enlightenment during that period was high, the buddhas and bodhisattvas were very pleased, thus the day is an extraordinary day.
The Buddha’s Joyful Day is also the Ullambana festival. This is the time for us to show our respect and gratitude to our ancestors. Through sincere offering of lights before Buddha, making offerings to dharma practitioners and making sincere prayers to buddhas and bodhisattvas, we seek blessings to relieve our ancestors who are suffering in the lower realms. May they be freed from their punishments, fear and suffering. At the same time, we hope the living parents and grandparents can continue to enjoy health, longevity and peace.
By virtue of these merits, we hope to liberate our karmic creditors and get rid of our sins. We can only enjoy peace and happiness when our ancestors and loved ones are auspicious and at ease.
Welcome all to use this opportunity to accumulate our own merits. Let buddhas be joyful; let us be freed from pain and darkness; let us enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.

「什麼是風水？」
.
在過去，我去過很多不同人的家裡，有的我一進去就感覺到：「喔，這個居家風水有些不吉祥。」一看他們的子女或家人，通常不太健康、個性比較不講道理，連帶的這個事業、工作都很不穩定。而一個有慈悲心、有做功德的家庭，他的家庭氣場就很詳和，你會很樂意在他家待著，可能這一代還是窮人，但下一代一定是富人。
.
我們成天講風水，你可以花錢請風水師，把你家弄得很有風水、很有感覺，但是那個風水不是給你的，是給下一個主人的，就像我們常說的「好風水還要配好命運」。
.
譬如在中國歷史上流傳的一個傳說故事，有一個人做了7把鋒利無比的寶劍，把一般的劍一砍就斷，這些寶劍鋒利無比。請問這樣的寶劍，如果讓一個最最普通的士兵獲得，會如何呢？這個士兵會變成將軍嗎？那我就告訴你，如果是一個武功普通的人拿著這樣的寶劍，就是他的死期到了。寶劍、寶馬配的是英雄豪傑，一個普通人拿上了一把鋒利無比的武器，只能導致讓自己早早滅亡。一個普通人就不應該拿這樣的寶劍，拿到就會惹來殺身之禍。
.
好風水是要給有根基的人，他才能享用這樣的榮華富貴。真正的英雄才能騎得了最好的駿馬，手裡握得住那把最鋒利的寶劍。
.
印度，曾經出過很多的寶石、鑽石，印度最好、最大、最重的寶石，現在是在英女皇的皇冠上頭。她除了有錢，她還有無上的權利，有整個大英帝國人來護衛著她，所以承受得起。如果是一個普通農民，挖到一塊這麼大的大寶石，想要謀財害命的人馬上會找上門，還不到明天可能命就沒了。所以在這樣的一顆寶石下，不知死了多少人，最終到了英女皇手裡，才讓這顆寶石的流血事件就此終止。
.
所以，好風水要配有福氣的人；大財富要給吉祥的人。人家為什麼發財呢？他為什麼有這個權力呢？因為他有這個基礎，也有這個資格，我們就稱之為善業，慈悲善業就是最好的風水。

.What is Feng Shui?
In the past, I have been to many homes that gave me an uncomfortable feeling the moment I stepped in. I would think to myself, “Oh, this household does not have good fengshui.” The children or other family members of the owner would usually be in poor health, be unreasonable in nature, and do not have stable jobs or careers. In contrast, a house that belongs to a family of compassionate and ,benevolent people will have a peaceful and comfortable ambience, which will make you want to stay longer. These people may be poor currently, but their offspring will definitely grow wealthy with time.
You can hire fengshui masters to improve the fengshui and ambience of your home, but that good fengshui may not necessarily benefit you. In fact, it may only bring benefits to the next owner of the house. This is most aptly described in the saying “Good fengshui needs to be matched with an equally good destiny.”
There is a Chinese legend about a person who made seven special swords that were especially sharp and could shear all other swords into two. What do you think would happen if these precious swords were to end up in the hands of an ordinary soldier? Would he transform into a general? Let me tell you, if a sword like that was to end up in the possession of a swordsman of mediocre skills, his end will be near. Precious swords and fine horses were only fitting for heroes with exceptional skills. If an ordinary man is to come into possession of a formidable weapon, it will usually result in his early demise.
Good fengshui and great wealth are meant for people with sufficient karmic merits. Only heroes can ride the finest steeds and take up the sharpest precious swords.
Many large diamonds and gems were discovered in India. Of these, the largest and, most beautiful and most precious gem is the one that is currently sitting on the crown of the British Queen. She is both rich and immensely powerful, with the backing of all the British people, which is why she can accept such a precious treasure.
If the huge jewel was in the hands of an ordinary farmer, he or she would have been robbed and killed the very next day. An uncountable number of people have lost their lives because of this precious jewel. The deaths were halted only when the jewel landed in the hands of the British Queen.
Good fengshui goes well with someone who has good fortune, while great wealth goes to someone auspicious, because these people have good karma. People become rich or powerful because they have sufficient karmic merits as the foundation.Compassion and karmic merits are the best fengshui that one can ever have.

天神的寶物──天珠
.
.
在菩提禪堂，有同修請法物時就問：「佩戴天珠，對我們有什麼好處？」
.
這個問題挺好的，我個人比較喜歡這些天然的寶物。
天珠，在中國西藏、尼泊爾等地區，備受人們的喜愛，相傳它是降臨到人間的「天神的寶物」，被當地人尊稱為「天降之石」。
.
匯聚天地之靈性，不同的圖案有著不同的能量，尤其天珠上的「天眼」，代表著天地之間最大的驅魔之眼。因此，佩戴天珠能將體內及外界汙穢之氣吸收、淨化，使人不受邪氣所侵。
.
尤其在經過大修行者的慈悲加持後，天珠更是蘊含了極強的能量，能夠消災避邪、趨吉避凶。長期佩戴，可增進身心的調和，啟發自在的定慧，給我們帶來吉祥與平安的護佑，成就祥和圓滿的人生。

Treasure of the Deities – Dzi bead
When one of the Bodhi Meditation’s students was looking at getting some blessed articles in our Bodhi meditation center, he asked, “What are the benefits of wearing Dzi bead?”
The question he posed was a good one. Personally, I like such natural stones. Dzi bead is well-liked by many in Tibet and Nepal. It is believed that Dzi bead is treasure from the deities and the locals in Tibet and Nepal call it the “Heavenly stone”.
Dzi bead is a combination of heaven and earth’s essence and the different patterns represent different energy. The “eyes” on the stone symbolizes the most powerful “eye” in heaven and earth to ward off evil. Therefore, wearing the Dzi bead cleanses the body and the surroundings of bad energy and prevents one from being tainted by bad energy.
Dzi bead that has been blessed by great cultivators contains enormous energy which can prevent disasters and turn misfortunes into blessings. Wearing Dzi bead for a long period of time helps moderate one’s wellbeing, increases one’s focus and brings good fortune and serenity to one’s life and at the same time, help achieve a peaceful and successful life.
