【Live Broadcast】 We welcome everyone to join us in this journey of generosity.

Theme: Flea Market Charity Event, Vancouver
Time: August 3rd, 4:00 pm.

August 3rd is special as it was on this day many years ago that I began spreading my compassionate love similar to the teachings of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This desire to help all sentient beings has connected and touched the lives of millions of people around the world.

There is a saying, “If there is desire, we will find the strength to fulfill it”.
Let us turn our love into a force that drives progress…

On this day, the Vancouver Meditation Centre is hosting a variety of fun and interesting activities. In addition to the action-packed flea market, there are many exciting activities like food stalls, street talent performances and other various performances etc. At the same time, children from the
Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp held in Vancouver will also participate in the event to experience the unique culture of North America.

All proceeds will be donated to the local meditation centre.
We sincerely invite you to participate in this fun and exciting charity event!

願野火不生,熱浪平息 ? . 今年北半球…

願野火不生,熱浪平息 ?
.
今年北半球的夏季特別熱,無論走到哪裡,感覺都像要融化一樣,到處都在刷新高溫紀錄。不只是全年高溫的熱帶國家感受到熱浪來襲,就連向來給人「寒冷」印象的北歐與北美,都出現了前所未有的高溫,動輒來到攝氏四五十度,連北極圈都出現了三十度的記錄。
.
在這股熱浪中,因為天氣炎熱所引發的火災,造成的傷亡慘重不已,對當地自然生態更是劫難一場!也有不少人因此中暑、熱衰竭甚至死亡。在氣候的劇烈變異下,大家要更有環保意識,記得出門多防曬與補充水分。
.
也請大家跟我一起為這股「熱浪」下的受災者誠心祈福,也希望氣候盡早回歸正常,讓所有人都不再感到苦難,並且獲得幸福!

【八月】不怕路遙遠,就怕你堅持。 . #…

【八月】不怕路遙遠,就怕你堅持。
.
#記得點開音頻聽?
.
大家熟悉的《西遊記》講的是三個徒弟護送唐玄奘西天取經的故事,然而當我們還原那段歷史,發現卻是另一番真相。在漫漫的萬里征途上,沒有人陪伴保護,只有他自己一個人,踽踽獨行。一路上,繞過官兵堵截、翻越萬丈雪山、埋身無人沙海,充滿了各種艱難險阻和驚心動魄。
.
每一道難關,都足以動搖信心,每一次劫難,都可能性命不保,他靠的就是「堅持」與「寧可西行一步死,決不回頭半步生」的執著,最終才抵達夢想中的佛國殿堂。
.
取經之路正如修行之路,可能會遇到各種超乎想像的困難,當你發起願心的時候,考驗就降臨到了你身上,肉體上的苦,也許能咬牙挺過去,精神上的苦呢?親人的誤解、旁人的譏笑、甚至修行中的停滯不前,煎熬得你看不到希望。但只要你不顧一切地繼續走下去,目標離你就越來越近了。因為目標就在那裡,只要向前走一步、就離成功近一步。世界上沒有失敗,只有「放棄」才是真正的失敗。
.
不怕萬千阻擋,只怕自己投降。不論是修行覺悟,還是追求人生的夢想,從來沒有簡單、容易的路,就是要以最大的耐心與決心,將生命與這條路合二為一。唯一能幫你成功的,是你對成功的渴望。我們生而為人,肉體終將湮滅,而你不朽的精神、不敗的意志、對社會的貢獻,將永遠留存在天地間,那正是我們的目標。

【August】No matter how far the distance, persistence will bring you to the destination.

In the famous Chinese epic “The Journey To The West” where the story narrated the three disciples accompanying their master Tang Xuanzang in search of the holy script, we often missed a vital truth in this story. In a seemingly no-ending journey, Tang is often left unprotected and alone in the journey. Along the arduous journey, Tang had to bypass obstruction by the soldiers, overcome mountainous peaks and be lost in the sea of desert.

Each and every of the obstacle was capable of shaking his confidence. Every time he escaped, it almost took his life. What he relied on was his determination and his mantra of “Rather move a step towards west than to be alive half step behind” that propelled hike to his destination.

The Journey To the West is similar to our journey in Bodhi Meditation, where we can expect challenges beyond our imagination. The moment we make a vow in our journey, the test starts. While we can bear with physical pain, what about mental challenges? Misunderstanding by family members, ridicules by observers, lack of progress despite hard work, and at times, the sense of hopelessness. However, it is clear that as long as we persevere, we will get closer to our destination. The only failure in life is when we give up.

The greatest fear is not the journey but us, giving up. There is never a simple and clear road in the journey towards enlightenment and towards our life-long dreams. The only way to do it is with the greatest determination and patience, and to cement our lives with this journey as one. The winning ingredient is our thirst to achieve it. We may never live forever and our body will perish. But it is our immortal and unrelenting spirit, our contribution to our society that will live the day. This should be our ultimate goal.

「禪修」能讓烏鴉變鳳凰? . 在上古神話…

「禪修」能讓烏鴉變鳳凰?
.
在上古神話中,有一種神鳥叫「鳳凰」,雄為鳳、雌為凰,又被稱為火鳥、或不死鳥。傳說中的鳳凰,每五百年就會集香木自焚為灰燼,再從灰燼中浴火重生。而鳳凰每一次的重生,就能獲得比以往更強大的生命力,如此周而復始,直至「鳳凰涅槃」,獲得永生。
.
鳳凰是人世間幸福的使者,每五百年,它就要背負著積累於人世間的所有仇恨恩怨,投身於熊熊烈火中自焚,以生命和美麗的終結換取人世的祥和與幸福。在肉體經受巨大的痛苦後,才能獲得更美好的軀體,得以重生。
.
而我們在通過「禪修」之後,觀察能力、視覺能力、以至於各種能力,從寬度、深度、廣度。在境界上也會有很大差別,我們從一個凡人的基礎上,修到了視覺能力,和精神境界都超越過去,甚至超越了凡人,自然我們的能量就會比過去增強;而我們的思維方式、智慧也將比過去強上很多。
.
當深入修行到一個程度的時候,我們也有機會,生出許多超越原本能力的超能力,可以跨越時間、空間去看我們自己、看這個世界,去順應於這個世界、甚至是利用這個世界,讓自己飛升起來,這叫什麼呢?——「善用萬物而入鳳凰涅槃」,通俗地講就是「烏鴉變鳳凰」,提升我們的肉體與精神境界。
.
通過「禪修」,來提升我們的心靈視覺,讓我們的人生達到更高的境界!

#禪修精進 #精神與肉體的自我提升 #強化內在生命力 #實修精進rnrnCan 「meditation」 transform a crow into a Phoenix?

In ancient mythology, there is a breed of spiritual bird known as “Phoenix”. Its Chinese characters 「凤凰」refer to the male and female species respectively. It is also known as the ‘Fire Bird’ or ‘Eternal Bird’. The legendary phoenix was said to gather incense wood to self-immolate (burn itself to ashes) every 500 years, and obtain rebirth from the ashes of the fire. Every rebirth of the phoenix results in it becoming more powerful with greater vitality than before, so the cycle of ending-and-rejuvenation allow the phoenix to obtain eternal life.

The phoenix is the messenger of happiness for our world. Every 500 years, it carries all the accumulated hatred and resentment in the world for all, commit them to the flames of fire, and ending its own life and beauty in exchange for world peace and happiness. After much physical suffering and pain, it regains a better body, and is reborn.

Following a period of 「meditation」 practice, our sense of observation, vision, amongst other faculties are enhanced in several aspects, we gain extensive abilities and latitude, with expanded horizons in terms of width, depth, and breadth. There is a quantum leap in perspectives, as we develop greater spatial and sensory acuity, building on the base of a sentient being, and surpassing our past spiritual cultivation. Naturally, our energy will be more robust than previously, and our thinking approach and wisdom will be more powerful than in the past.

As we meditate to advanced levels, there is the opportunity to experience abilities beyond those that we priorly possessed, allowing for transcendence into time and space to know more about ourselves, appreciate the world, provide further scope to adapt to, and even capitalize on the opportunities in this world to rise to the occasion. This is termed as “leveraging the environment effectively in the rejuvenation of the Phoenix”, or more popularly, the “transformation of the crow into Phoenix” to enhance our physical and spiritual cultivation.

Through 「meditation」, we enhance our spiritual and visionary acuity, so as to elevate our life to a higher level!
