被送走的孩子
.
.
有一次上課,我讓大家為父母親念佛,幾乎所有人都很認真地誦念佛號,其中,我看見一個小姑娘,從頭到尾就是不開口。下了課我就把她喊到一旁,問她剛才怎麼不跟著大家一起念佛?
.
她說:「師父,我是真的沒辦法對父母有感恩之心!」
.
我問她:「怎麼回事兒?妳來給我說說。」
.
她說:「我出生的時候,家裡經濟狀況不是很好,父母為了省錢,父母就把我送到鄉下讓奶奶養,一直到六七歲才又把我接回家,但那時候他們又生一個妹妹了。我不懂,為什麼他們只把我送走呢?而且,他們比較喜歡妹妹不喜歡我!記得,我高中畢業考上大學,我滿心歡喜的告訴她這個好消息,結果我媽竟然要我別上大學,快點去賺錢幫忙家計,將來好供妹妹讀書。

我就想:「明明是我成績比較好,他們憑什麼讓我為妹妹犧牲呢?所以我覺得他們比較喜歡妹妹,不喜歡我!於是我就發了狠,把家裡頭的現金都拿走,一個人到大學把學費給繳了,之後再也沒跟家裡聯絡過,因為我太恨他們了,連面都不想見,更別提為他們念佛了!」
.
聽她一口氣說完了這麼一大段的話,我問她:「看妳現在過得不錯呀,有孩子了嗎?」
她說:「我有兩個孩子,一個6歲、一個4歲。」
.
我說:「妳的孩子應該很有佛緣,這樣好了,妳選一個孩子送到我這裡來,讓他跟著我到世界各地去傳法好了吧!」
她馬上生氣地說:「您在開什麼玩笑?身為一個母親,怎會捨得讓孩子離開身邊呢?」
.
我說:「妳捨不得,妳的母親就捨得嗎?如果不是逼不得已,哪個母親會願意讓孩子離開自己的身邊呢?」她想了一下,不說話了。我又說:「這樣吧,當著我的面,妳給家裡頭打通電話,把心裡頭那些不愉快都給說開吧。」她雖然有點不情願,但還是打了電話。接電話的是她的母親,講沒兩句,她就開始哭了,母女倆哭半天,說了什麼我也沒仔細聽。我想反正這誤會應該是解開了。
.
過了很久,我又遇到她,我問她、跟家裡頭和好了沒有?這回她非常開心地說:「早和好了,前些天我才帶著老公和孩子回娘家探望呢!我後來問我母親,為什麼當初對我的關心沒有對妹妹多?母親說,她不是不愛我,而是覺得我特別獨立懂事,不用人操心。」那時我才發覺原來自己錯得離譜了!所以那天講完電話之後,我就為家人點了光明燈,也不再恨他們了。現在,我天天都會為他們念佛,為我過去做的錯懺悔,也為我的家人積福。」
.
其實,越是親近的人,所帶給彼此的傷害往往就越深,父母親跟孩子的關係也是如此。所有的父母都愛自己的孩子,只是愛的方式不一樣,兒女們也不一定能夠理解。一家人在一起,有摩擦很正常,牙齒跟嘴唇都難免碰撞到,何況是人呢?但是既然是家人,又有什麼話不能好好說開呢?把話說開之後,還能夠繼續愛著彼此,這才是真正的家人呀!
.
珍惜身邊最親近的人,因為家人之間,即使有了摩擦也會互相牽絆!
.
最後祝大家:
都能和家人關係融洽、幸福、美滿!

The child who was sent away

During one of my class, I wanted all participants to chant the name of Buddha for their parents. Almost all participants chanted sincerely except for a young lady who refused to open her mouth from the beginning to the end. After the class, I took the young lady aside and asked her why she had refused to chant earlier.

She told me: “Master, I really cannot think of anything that inspires feeling of gratitude toward my parents!”

I asked her: “Why is that so?”

She replied: “When I was born, my family was not well off financially. To save money, my parents sent me away to my granny who was staying in a village to take care of me. They only fetched me back when I was six or seven years old. However, at that point in time, my mother had just given birth to my younger sister. I did not understand why they only sent me away and not my sister? Probably they loved my sister more! I still remembered sharing with my mother excitedly about my excellent high school examination results. Unexpectedly, she asked me to give up my university studies and start working so that I could help to lighten the financial burden of my family and also enable my sister to have the opportunity to gain a good education.

I thought to myself then: “My results were obviously better than my sister’s. Why did my parents asked me to sacrifice my studies for my sister?” Hence I was more convinced my parents loved my sister more and even disliked me! In anger, I left home with all the money I could find in the house. I paid for my University school fees using the money I had taken from home and stopped all contacts with them because I hated them. I did not want to see them, not to mention chanting for them!”

After hearing her story, I asked her: “You seem to be doing well now. Do you have children?”

She replied: “Yes. I have two children, aged six and four years old.”

I told her: “Your children have good affinity with Buddha. Send one of them to me so that I can bring her around the world to spread dharma teachings!”

She responded angrily: “Are you joking? As a mother, how can I bear to part with my children?”

I asked her: “You cannot bear to part with your children but your mother had no qualms to part with you? If not for the fact that there was no other way out, which mother would willingly part with her children?” She thought about what I had just said and remained quiet. I continued: “Tell you what. Why not call your family now and vent out all your grievances.” Though she was not very willing, she still did what I told her to. Her mother was the one who picked up the telephone. She started to cry shortly after talking to her mother. Both mother and daughter cried throughout the conversation. As I was not paying close attention, I did not know what was the content of their conversation but I guessed they had cleared up their misunderstandings.

When I met her again after some time, I asked her whether she had patched up with her family? She happily answered: “We had cleared our misunderstandings. Some time back, I even brought my husband and children to visit my family! I sought clarification from my mother why she showed me less concern as compared to my younger sister. My mother explained that was because she felt I was more sensible and independent hence I needed less attention. It was definitely not because she did not love me.” Only then did I realize I had been mistaken about her! After our tele-conversation, I immediately lighted a lamp for my family and all hatred melted away. Now I chant for my family daily to repent for my past actions and accumulate karmic merits for them.”

In reality, the people who have the ability to hurt us the most are the ones we are closest to. This is especially so for parents and children.

All parents love their children. The only difference is their way of expressing their love. As children, we may not understand them. It is very normal to have conflicts within a family, just like our teeth may accidentally bite and hurt our lips. Hence as a family, whenever we face conflicts and unhappiness, we should talk with them calmly to avoid any misunderstandings. In this way, we will continue to love our family members and that is what makes family members special! The ability to talk with them openly resolves misunderstandings!

Treasure people around us because though conflicts may exist, our family members will still be the ones to accompany us through life at the end of the day!

Lastly, may all enjoy a harmonious and cohesive family relationship!!

荷蘭素有「歐洲花園」之稱,全世界最大的鬱金香產地,每年培育鬱金香30億株。如果把這些鬱金香全部排列起來,能圍著赤道繞7圈。這麼多的鬱金香,是如何從田間走進花店的呢?

誰是最有福氣的人?!
.
.
當我們跌倒時,第一個伸手扶起我們的是父母;當我們受了委屈,回家向父母訴苦時,父母會給予我們一個大大的擁抱;當我們在外頭遇到諸多不順,家永遠都是我們最溫暖的避風港。這一切一切,蘊含著點點滴滴的愛,需要我們去感受、去體會,有父母疼愛的孩子是最幸福的。
.
父母給予我們無私的關愛和付出,我們無以為報,我們能做的就是給予他們深深的祝福。用一份最真誠、感恩的心來為母親念佛,祝福母親身體健康長壽、自在快樂!
.
前兩天的網路直播,有幾個有福氣的人兒,獲得我親手繪畫的禮物(杯子),希望你們還能繼續將這份吉祥延續,讓更多有緣人也能得到這份祝福和加持。
.
讓我們一起為最愛的母親念念佛吧!
「最有效的念佛法,便是無所求;一份真誠心,能得真感應。」

Who is the most fortunate person?!

When we fall, our parents are the first to reach out to us; when we were wronged and complained to our parents, they would give us a big hug; when we encounter many obstacles outside, our homes are always our warmest safe haven. All because they love us, and we need to feel and appreciate this. Children with parents’ love are so blessed.

Parents love us selflessly and we can never repay them. What we can do is to send them our deepest blessings. With a most sincere and grateful heart, lets chant for our mother. May they be blessed with good health, longevity, be at ease and joyful!

On my live broadcast two days ago, there were several lucky people who received gifts (cups) that I personally painted. I hope that you can continue to expand this auspiciousness so that more people can enjoy this well wishes and blessings.

Let us chant the Buddha name together for our beloved mother!

“The most effective way is to chant with no desire (request); a sincere heart will naturally receive inspiration.”

【週六網路共修】_ 願望決定人生成就 ….

【週六網路共修】_ 願望決定人生成就
.
.
有同修問我:「我也想成為一個英雄式的人生,乃至覺悟式的人生。」
我告訴他:「願望從宏觀來說,就是願望決定了人生成就。因為願望,所以產生智慧、產生動力,乃至產生知識。過程之中還產生魅力,並且實現了自我人生的價值。」
.
一個做大事的人,他思考的廣闊度,是很多平凡的人沒想到的!有大願望大思維的人,他首先是一個播種者,而不是收穫者。今天我種樹,是為了讓我未來的子孫和我老了之後去乘這個涼、使用這個木頭。而平凡的人只想著,我就砍下那顆樹來,拿來做凳子、做桌子,或是用來燒火用。
.
所以,所以有大願望、大理想的人,遇到煩惱的事情不會永遠煩惱下去,因為他更懂得看到煩惱背後的喜悅。所以大的思維境界,就是跨越時空的概念,乃至穿越事物的障礙感。這是「成功者特質」非常重要的關鍵。
.
無論今天我們想做一個平凡的人,還是期望自己成為一個解脫、自在、開悟的人。我需要提醒大家一點,就是不要像一個平凡人、小人一樣,對事情斤斤計較。如果一個人纏繞在這種具體雜事的小麻煩之中,就不能成就大業,將會因小失大。
.
希望有緣聽到這次演講的大眾,都能夠得到最安逸、快樂、成就的人生。

【Online Global Group Practice】Our aspirations determine how far we go in life

One practitioner asked me, “I like to have a heroic or even an enlightened life.”
I told him, “Our aspirations determine our life’s accomplishment. Aspiration is the source of wisdom creation and motivates us to act on our dreams and even broaden our life’s horizon. In the process, we gain charisma and this helps us to identify life’s purpose and meaning.”

One who is destined for great things in life looks from a broader perspective which is beyond what ordinary person can imagine! A person of great thought and aspiration is first a sower, not a harvester. Today, I plant trees for the benefits and comfort of my future descendants and for me when I grow old. This greatly differs from the thinking of the ordinary people whose only thought revolves around cutting down the tree to make stools, tables, or just firewood.

Therefore, a person with great aspirations and dreams will not be trapped by existing problems and worries. This is because he knows that happiness awaits him after he overcomes his current obstacles. Hence, great spiritual realm is the concept of transcending time and space, and even overcoming the feeling of hurdles. This is the key to the “winner trait”.

Regardless of whether we want to be an ordinary person or hope to be a liberated, peaceful and enlightened person, I need to remind everyone not to be overly calculative. If a person is perpetually wrapped in minor petty chores, he will not achieve great things. He will end up being penny wise and pound foolish.

I hope for those who are destined to hear this speech enjoy a comfortable, happy and successful life.
