Real story on cause and effect
It’s better to believe than not to; you must watch till the end.

————————————————————————————————-
“Little person’s” live speech on Karma sent waves of shock throughout China, tens of thousands of people were inspired.
.
Firstly, with immense gratitude to the teachers and students present, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to repent on behalf of my family. I am Fuxing, a confident and strong willed lady. I am already 30 years old but stand at only 1.35m. I suffer from a growth hormone deficiency. This is a rare disease and currently there is no cure. The occurrence rate is 1 in 10,000. My body stopped growing when I reached 11.5 years old. Due to my condition, I was often discriminated and mocked at from young. I was even nicknamed ‘Retribution’ from birth.
.
From young, I led a very miserable life. I failed to understand why my family and I were always being criticized. My mother gave birth to my brother two years after me. He was born with the same condition as me. Life was really hard. It was already extremely taxing for a family to cope with a kid like me, let alone two. Every single cent that my parents earned was spent on us. Sometimes, we didn’t even have enough money for food and had to beg from our neighbors. Some of the kids with this type of illness committed suicide when they reached their teens as they could not withstand the pressure from school and society. People with this condition normally cannot survive beyond 60 years old. I felt very grieved and I would not be able to die in peace if I could not find the reason why I contracted this type of illness.
.
Once I went with my husband to release live animals. Following that, I decided to learn Buddhism. Finally, I got the answer I had been searching for all these years.
If you plant a good seed, you will reap good fruits. If you plant a bad seed, you will reap bad fruits. This is all about karma, cause and effect.
This is so true. I believe my brother and I were born this way because of the bad seeds my ancestors had planted.
.
My ancestors were illiterate. Their family clan had been in the slaughter house business for 30 to 40 years. My paternal grandfather had seven siblings. They simply followed the foot steps of their forefathers and continued the slaughter house business. From young, I grew up in this kind of unhealthy environment, constantly hearing the screaming and shrieking of the goats at dawn every day. It was really unbearable. If you do have a little conscience, you will know that they were screaming for help, to escape from being slaughtered
.
The scene at our big courtyard was gross. Countless cow and goat innards hung on the bamboo sticks in the courtyard. The floor was lined with young cow skins and there were also huge heaps of bones everywhere. The big basins in the courtyard were also filled with goat blood and cow blood as these were in high demand.
.
The women in the family were in charge of clearing and cleaning the innards of the animals. At that time, sales of goat blood, goat skin and beef were most lucrative. Once we had an old cow. My mother told me that the cow was too old to be sold for its meat. However, the young calves in the stomach were very valuable. Later, when I grew up, I realized that the leather of the high quality leather shoes were actually made from the skin of these young calves who might not even have seen daylight.
.
The leather jackets that we wear on our body were from the skin removed from the young cows. Are you still able to feel warm after knowing where the leather came from? Once when celebrating lunar new year, my father who is ignorance got me and my brother to pluck the hair from the pig’s head. What exactly had he done? How I wish some one had taught us then.
.
Ignorance of Cause and Effect resulted in my ancestors being in the slaughter house business. Many people commented that although my ancestors were in slaughter house business, it was really unbelievable that my grandparents still had many children and grandchildren. It is thus not necessary to believe in buddhism or do chanting. In the 1990s, our family’s business was considered a large-scale business. We had big houses which was uncommon during that time.
.
Once my family was sued and fined 200,000 yuan. However, that was a small amount to us and of no concern to the family. Other people felt that our clan business was a lucrative one and start to follow suit. Nobody realized that monies earned from such cruel inhumane manner would bring disaster to the family. They continued to indulge in a luxurious lifestyle, buying houses and cars. People are always overwhelmed by greed. No amount of money is enough.
.
Wealth accumulated from such bad deeds will result in bad karma. With bad karma, kinship and love will be destroyed. Soon, the relationship between my father’s siblings start to fall apart. Everyone only treasured ‘money’. Nobody dared to offend our family as we were experts in this business.
.
Tragedy started to happen in our family one after another. One relative fell from 12th storey and landed in a ‘vegetable’ state. The family chose to give up on him and pulled out all the live supports. They did not value family relationship any more. Money was most important. Then my cousin divorced his wife for another woman. She could not take it as she married my cousin at a tender age of 15. She committed suicide by drinking pesticide. Her family beat up my cousin. My cousin’s family compensated her family with a lump sum of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. They also bought a very high quality coffin for her. All these were really pointless when a life was already lost. Next, my uncle also fell for another woman and divorced his wife. My aunty committed suicide by drinking detergent. Both these women spent their lifetime clearing and cleaning innards. This is really retribution. They died by having their organs being ‘cleared’ up.
.
Many people don’t believe in karma. However, when tragedy starts to happen to your family members , you will understand the saying ‘plant bad seed begets bad fruits’. Another uncle also fell for another woman. He killed the woman when she called off the relationship. The police rounded up the whole family in the courtyard. The scene reminded me of the time when all the cows and goats were being rounded up in the slaughter house. There was really no dignity. Half a month later, my uncle was arrested and given a death sentence. Within a day, all his hair turned white. What he was experiencing must have been the same as what those animals went through, the scary and horrifying feeling of waiting to be slaughtered.
.
Tragedies in my family unfolded one after another. My paternal grandmother suffered from muscular dystrophy. During the 12 years of her sickness, no one took care of her, loved her or respected her. Everyone was too busy running their business and earning money. No one had time for her. Only my brother and I helped to feed and changed her. She would scream in pain whenever we accidentally touched her. In the last year before she passed away, she lost her sanity and could not recognize anyone while continually scratching herself.
.
My father could not take the pressure of being criticized that what was happening to the family was due to retribution. He decided to quit the slaughter house business to work at the coal mine. He worked hard to earn money to seek medical treatment for me and my brother’s illness. He was seldom home and sometimes he was away for as long as six months.
.
When my father came home to keep vigil at my grandmother’s wake, he shared with me that no one would want to lose his or her mother no matter how old she was. In a twist of fate, my father didn’t know that his children were going to lose their father in a year’s time. One afternoon, we received news that my father passed away in the coal mine, crushed under two vehicles. In the mortuary, I could no longer control my emotion. When they pulled out the body, my father was still clad in torn clothes, all because he saved all his monies for me and my brother. Now I really understand what retribution was all about. My brother and I were born in this family to punish the family.
.
The last time I saw my father alive was when he left for work. He told me that he wished he would see a taller me when he comes back. I did not bid him goodbye as I was not confident that I could ever grow taller. Had I known that I would never see him again, I would have stopped him from leaving.
.
On reflection, I had never once said to my father ‘I love you’. I had never done my part to repay what he had done and his sacrifices for me, treated him respectfully and ‘kowtowed’ to him. I love you father. I was in the wrong. I should not have always blamed you and disliked you for putting responsibilities on me and mother. Now then I realized that it was not my father’s mistake. He was just continuing the family business that was handed down.
.
Misfortune also fell on my paternal grandfather. During the last year before his death, he became mad. In winter, he ran naked everywhere in the cold and hugged every woman he saw. He was beaten very frequently by other people. In the later stage, he was reduced to skin and bone. His stomach was also very bloated. My mother said it was full of air. When he could not move at all, my mother who was a doctor used a needle to poke his stomach so as to release the air. My mother said that even in death, one must still have dignity. Now I began to relate this sad ending to bad karma. Our family killed countless cows and goats everyday. As everyone was too busy, sometimes the goats killed were left in the courtyard for a long time. As a result, their stomachs became bloated. This was exactly what was happening to my grandfather. This is really karma. Whatever you do to others will in turn happen to you.
.
During festivals, families gather together to celebrate. Although my family was wealthy, we have never got together in such a way because everybody was too busy accumulating wealth. However, wealth does not necessarily translate into happiness. I hope such bad karma and tragedies stop at my family. I hope it will never happen to our teachers and fellow practitioners. I advocate that we should learn some moral and enjoy happiness. If we stop our bad deeds and do more good deeds, we will be blessed with good fortune and happiness will surround us.
.
On reflection, I don’t think my family want to choose such an occupation. My dear practitioners, they were driven by circumstances! They were fighting for a livelihood. There were just too many mouths to feed! To attain happiness, we should really break away from evil deeds and do good deeds.

【週六網路共修預告】學會快樂面對生活
.
.
快樂可以很簡單,每個人都希望過上幸福的生活,希望自己富有、健康與自由……!
.
但在現實生活當中,卻總是為了生活的瑣碎事物,變得不開心,看啥都不順眼,最後感覺全世界都與你有仇似的,最後影響健康、疾苦煩惱不斷…。
.
比如說有一次,一位女學員吃完飯後喊肚子疼,原因是她在吃飯時和男朋友嘔氣了。以我過去的經驗,無論是在家裡做飯、還是吃飯,我們的心情很重要。當人的心胸越狹小,是非就越多,自己所經歷的痛苦和折磨就會增多,無論你的智力多麼發達,心胸小了,整個人生都不會快樂。
.
相反的,如果能以快樂的心去工作、吃飯,去面對家人和朋友,包括面對你不喜歡的人或事情的時候,還能夠保持一顆快樂的心,自然就會獲得健康、快樂!因為你的心中充滿陽光,沒有烏雲,你一定是一個健康、長壽的人,你就會成為世界上最幸福、最幸運的人。
.
歡迎大家在這次的週末共修中一起來暢談!
如何時刻提醒自己,用快樂的心、開放的心、陽光的心來面對生活!!
.
祝福大家健康、快樂、長壽!

【Notice on Online Global Group Practice on Saturday】Learn to be Happy in Life
.
It is easy to be happy. Everyone wants to have a happy, prosperous and healthy life, free from worries!
.
In reality however, we are easily troubled and unhappy over trivial matters. We find fault with everything and may even think the whole world as our enemy. This affects our health and eventually, we fall sick and become even more troubled…..
.
Once, a female practitioner complained of a stomachache after a meal because she was arguing with her boyfriend while eating. From my experience, it is important to have a happy composure regardless whether we are preparing our meals at home or while eating them.
.
When we are narrow-minded, gossips abound and we end up with more suffering. Even though we may be very intelligent, we can never be happy if we are narrow- minded.
.
On the contrary, if we work, eat and treat friends and family members positively and also maintain a happy mindset, we will naturally enjoy a healthy and happy life even when things or people are not in our favor. When our hearts are bright with sunshine without dark clouds, we will live a healthy and long life. We will then become the happiest and most fortunate person in the world.
.
I welcome all to join me this coming Saturday to discuss how we can live our life with a happy and open heart and fill our lives with brilliant sunshine!!
.
May all lead a healthy, happy and long life!
.
You are welcomed to share this post.
? More sharing; more blessings!!?

一次微笑一條路 一句讚美能開山 . 微笑…

一次微笑一條路
一句讚美能開山
.
微笑的力量到底有多大?我曾聽過這麼一個不錯的故事,分享給大家。。。
.
有個人在上飛機,就向美麗的空姐要了一杯水,準備服藥使用,但因為飛機起飛前比較忙碌,美麗的空姐向他承諾,等飛機起飛平穩之後定會馬上送水來。
.
可是等飛機進入平穩狀態後,已很長一段時間了,水還是沒有送來。於是他再次按了服務鈴,空姐看到,馬上意識到自己失誤忘記送水了,於是空姐馬上端著水過來,微笑著向他說:「非常抱歉,先生,由於我的疏忽,延誤了您吃藥的時間,非常抱歉。」但這個人卻沒有接受空姐的道歉,甚至要投訴她。美麗的空姐為了彌補自己的失誤,每每面帶笑容地詢問他是否需要服務,可是這個人怎麼也沒有接受。
.
 飛機就要抵達目的地了,他讓空姐給他意見卡,空姐以為他要投訴她了,等大家離開後,空姐打開意見卡,竟發現內容寫著:「雖然妳延誤我服藥的時間,使我非常不悅,但在整個過程中,妳表現出十分真誠的歉意,特別是妳那九次美麗的微笑,深深地打動了我,我決定不再投訴妳。如果還有機會,我一定會再次乘坐妳們的航班。」
.
其實,在空姐向他第一、二的次微笑時,他還認為道歉是應該的,而當她第三次的微笑時,他要投訴她的想法就開始有點動搖了,在第五次的微笑時,他就已經完全地原諒她了。
.
所以,無論此刻您的心情是如何?
請學會微笑,他可能為您解決各種難題,並且為您帶來好運氣。
因為,您傳遞給別人的是幸福、溫馨、快樂的能量。
.
.
A smile opens a door;
A praise moves a mountain.
.
How big is the power of a smile? I have heard of a good story, and will like to share it with everyone …
.
There was a person who boarded a plane. He asked a beautiful stewardess for a glass of water so as to take his medicine. As the service staff were busy before take-off, the beautiful stewardess promised that she would serve his drink as soon as the flight stabilized after take-off.
.
However, long after the flight stabilized, the water was not served. So, the passenger pressed the service button. The stewardess was alerted and immediately realized her mistake in forgetting to serve the water. She brought the drink over, smiled at him, and said, “Very sorry sir, due to my negligence, I’d delayed your medication. Please accept my apology.” The man did not accept the stewardess’ apology, and threatened to complain about her. To make up for her mistake, the beautiful stewardess continued to greet the passenger with smiles whenever she saw him, and to ask him if he needed assistance, yet it was not accepted.
.
As the plane was about to arrive at the destination, he requested the stewardess to provide him with the feedback survey card. The stewardess thought that he was going to complain about her. After everyone had left, the stewardess opened the card, and unexpectedly found the writing within the content, “Although you had delayed my medication time and made me very unhappy, you were most sincere and apologetic throughout the process, especially in the nine times you gave your beautiful smiles. I am deeply moved by the gestures, and have decided not to complain about you. If there is a chance, I will definitely take your flight again.”
.
In fact, when the stewardess smiled for the first to second time, he was still insistent on apologies. By the third time, he started to waver about the complaint, and after the fifth smile, he had completely forgiven her.
.
So, no matter what your thoughts are right now, please learn to smile, as it may solve several kinds of problems for you, and bring you good fortune.
Because in the process of doing so, you convey a sense of happy, warm, and joyful energy to others.
.

相信就會改變,相信就會看見。。。
.
禪修的效果雖然會因人而異,但是不論您是甚麼國家、種族身份,或是年記老小?只要認真堅持住禪修,相信你的生命一定能夠有所改變。一起來聽聽來自於新加坡的故事!!
.
—————————————————————————–
我來自於新加坡禪堂,法名_丹貢。
早在十多年前,醫生就說我超重。我嘗試過許多減肥方法,比如吃減肥藥,做瑜伽,跑步,去瘦身中心泡桑拿浴,甚至不吃午餐只喝減肥咖啡。可惜的是,我所獲得的效果都不理想,體重只減了一兩公斤,不久又回彈了。絕食減肥還導致我身體虛弱,膚色暗淡。
.
我是在2014年接觸菩提禪修。當時我不是為了減肥而來,而是對心靈的提升這方面感興趣。學習「大禮拜」後,我的體重竟然在六個月的修練內下降了10公斤,真是令我樂不可支!從此我愛上大禮拜,天天一定會修練,絕不放棄!過去三年,我的體重維持在標準範圍內,再也不必為減肥而煩惱。我的皮膚變得有光澤,無需再服食膠原蛋白。我不用化妝,只塗個口紅就夠亮麗,朋友們看到我容光煥發,都很好奇。
在過去的三、四十年,我一天只能睡上兩三個小時。2015年我開始走八卦後,每晚就能深睡大約十個小時,黑眼圈漸漸變淡了。
.
自從禪修以後,我變得更平靜。家人若大聲跟我說話,我不會像以往那樣喊回去,而是能心平氣和地與他們溝通。我覺得我的家人更加團結了,大家都相處得樂融融。現已69歲的我,不僅身體健康、精神充沛,也感覺年輕快樂!我已介紹了幾位朋友來菩提禪修,希望他們也能像我一樣堅持修練,並體驗到禪修的益處。

什麼是法喜?
.
孔夫子說:「學而時習之,不亦悅乎。」是法喜嗎?!
孔夫子說:「有朋自遠方來,不亦樂乎。」是法喜嗎?!
或者是「行菩薩道,給予眾生真實利益,並且樂此不疲。」是法喜嗎?!
那麼,究竟什麼才是真正的「法喜」?
.
其實,「法喜」是一種由內心生發出來的喜悅,
是幫人後內心所獲得的歡喜!
是來自於佛「慈悲能量」的加持!
是讓佛歡喜,也讓自己歡喜!
是我歡喜了,佛也歡喜,所以得到了「法喜」!
.
今天,讓我們一起來與佛菩薩相感應,
一起收穫「佛」所賜給我們的,最吉祥、最美妙的能量。

What is Dharma Bliss?

According to Confucius: 「One will experience joy when one applies one’s theoretical knowledge into practice.」 Is this dharma bliss?!

Another popular saying by Confucius: 「One feels happy when one’s friend comes from afar for a visit.」 Is this dharma bliss?!

Or 「the pleasure and happiness one experiences from leading a Bodhisattva way of life to help and benefit sentient beings.」 Is this dharma bliss?

So, what exactly is dharma bliss?

In reality, dharma bliss is the joy that comes naturally from our heart when we helped others!
It’s the compassionate energy blessing from Buddha!
Dharma joy brings happiness to us and Buddha!
Because when we and Buddha feel happy, we gain dharma joy!

Today, let us connect with Buddha and Bodhisattvas to receive the most splendid and auspicious energy bestowed!

The more you share, the more blessings you will receive!!
